After awarding two ‘tens’ in the series 22 semi-final, Craig has now awarded a total of 98 ‘tens’ throughout his time on Strictly.

The most recent final which had fewer than two ‘tens’ from Craig was series five; so surely number one-hundred will be awarded in Saturday’s finale, but which of Chris, JB, Sarah or Tasha will receive it?
