Joanne's facts and stats

  • Although Joanne did not receive a celebrity partner for Series 13, she won the Christmas special that year (2015) dancing an American Smooth with Series 9 winner, Harry Judd
  • One quarter (24.7%) of all the paddle scores Joanne was awarded were 10s. These were all received while she was dancing with Ore Oduba
  • In Movie Week of S12, Scott & Joanne danced their memorable Little Mermaid routine to “Under the Sea”; this routine saw one of the greatest individual score discrepancies ever with Craig awarding a 2 and guest Donny Osmond awarding a 7
  • Dancing with Ore in the Series 14 Final, Joanne earned the second ever perfect Jive score (after Jill & Darren’s in S2); this was the start of a 4-year run in which a perfect Jive was danced in 4 consecutive Series; in S15 it was Alexandra & Gorka’s turn, S16 Ashley & Pasha’s, and in S17 Karim & Amy performed their ‘double-40’ Jive
