Who are the best professionals on Strictly Come Dancing? In this post we calculate an average score for each pro dancer based on an average of their top scores for each different dance style performed on the show. (Part 1 of 2).

Who is the greatest Strictly Come Dancing Champion of all time? We took a look at the data and created a Champions Leaderboard to see if it would reveal the answer…
