Interesting fact: In series 2, Zoe & Ian scored their first 10 of the competition for their Quickstep. The next week, in the video footage before their tango performance on the live show, Erin criticised the couple saying that while Zoe's quickstep was great it wasn't perfect and shouldn't have scored a 10. Zoe was so annoyed, she said it provoked her to channel the emotion into the drama of her performance in the tango, for which she went on to score two 10s!
*For the calculation of averages, the score for dances marked by five judges have been adjusted down to allow for fair comparison.
