Vincent's facts and stats
- Despite 63 scored dances, Vincent never performed a pure Charleston; the closest he came was his S10 Dance Fusion routine with Dani Harmer, a Charleston and Quickstep routine which scored 38 points
- With Rachel Stevens, Vincent performed a double-40 dance with their Foxtrot in S6; this is one of 6 double-40 dances (Pamela & James, Viennese Waltz S8; Danny & Oti, Samba S14; Karim & Amy, Jive S17; Fleur & Vito, Couple’s Choice S20; Tasha & Aljaž, American Smooth S22)
- Only two pros in Strictly history have performed a perfect Foxtrot; this is Vincent (twice) and Brendan (with Lisa Snowdon) both in S6. Clearly 2008 was Strictly’s year for the Foxtrot!
