On 20 June 2012, it was announced that Katya Virshilas would not return to the show as a professional.[3] It was later announced that Karen Hauer of Burn the Floor fame would replace her.[4]

The show was broadcast from Wembley Arena on 17 November with all proceeds going to the BBC charity, Children in Need.[5] The show on 10 November was hosted by Daly and Winkleman, while Forsyth took a break before the Wembley Arena show.[6]

Series 10 was the last series of the show to be produced at the studios of the BBC Television Centre in West London. In March 2013 the Television Centre site was closed for redevelopment, with the production of future series moved to Elstree Studios.[7]

Olympic artistic gymnast Louis Smith and Flavia Cacace won the series on 22 December, while Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh and Pasha Kovalev and actress Denise van Outen and James Jordan were the runners-up.

Format

edit

The couples dance each week in a live show. The judges score each performance out of ten. The couples are then ranked according to the judges' scores and given points according to their rank, with the lowest scored couple receiving one point, and the highest scored couple receiving the most points (the maximum number of points available depends on the number of couples remaining in the competition). The public are also invited to vote for their favourite couples, and the couples are ranked again according to the number of votes they receive, again receiving points; the couple with the fewest votes receiving one point, and the couple with the most votes receiving the most points.

The points for judges' score and public vote are then added together, and the two couples with the fewest points are placed in the bottom two. If two couples have equal points, the points from the public vote are given precedence. As with the previous series, the bottom two couples have to perform a dance-off on the results show. Based on that performance alone, each judge then votes on which couple should stay and which couple should leave, with Len Goodman, as head judge, having the last and deciding vote.

Couples

edit

This series featured fourteen celebrity contestants.

Johnny Ball was originally partnered with Aliona Vilani; however, following an injury sustained in training before the first live show, Iveta Lukosiute was hired as a replacement partner.[8] This was officially intended as a short-term measure until Vilani was able to return; however, it was later confirmed that Lukosiute would be Ball's full-time partner.
