Interesting fact: Since it was introduced to Strictly Come Dancing as a competitive dance in series four, no female celebrity has ever been awarded a 10 for the Salsa. However, of the fifteen male celebrities who've danced a Salsa, the judges have given six of them at least one 10, and a total of thirteen 10s between them.
*For the calculation of averages, the score for dances marked by five judges have been adjusted down to allow for fair comparison.
