Tasha Ghouri received the first perfect score of 2024 on Strictly Come Dancing for her Charleston performance. Three judges awarded her 10s, while one gave a 9. This milestone does not guarantee success, as past winners have not always scored first. In previous seasons, contestants who scored the first 10s often left the competition early. For example, Eddie Kadi and Tyler West both scored 10s but did not reach the finals in their respective years. This season features strong competitors, including comedian Chris McCausland, who impressed with a salsa despite being blind. Opera singer Wynne Evans also showed improvement, finishing high on the leaderboard. Other contestants like Paul Merson and Pete Wicks are also gaining momentum.
