Strictly Come Dancing: A Look Back at Some of the Lowest Scoring Performances

Quentin Wilson (2004)

Former Top Gear presenter Quentin Wilson holds the title for the lowest score ever on Strictly, earning just eight points for his Cha Cha Cha in 2004. The judging panel was not impressed, with Craig Revel Horwood branding him "Britain's Worst Dancer."

John Seargent (2005)

BBC journalist John Sergeant received just 12 points for his Cha Cha Cha routine, prompting him to quit the show two weeks later. His lowest score came with the Latin number, with the judges less than impressed by his moves.

Anneka Rice (2019)

In 2019, BBC presenter Anneka Rice's Kill Bill inspired performance earned her one of the lowest scores in Strictly history with just 11 points. Judge Bruno Tonioli criticized her for getting the theme wrong, leading to her elimination the same week.

Susannah Constantine (2018)

Fashion journalist Susannah Constantine's novelty samba, where dance partner Anton emerged through her skirt, received harsh criticism from the judges. Craig Revel Horwood called it "one of the worst" performances he had ever seen, giving her a ruthless score of one.

Fiona Phillips (2005)

Daytime presenter Fiona Phillips failed to impress with her Waltz in 2005, scoring just 11 points. Her consistent low scores led to her elimination in week four, with reports of disagreements with dance partner Brendan Cole and struggles with learning routines.
