Kristina's facts and stats

  • In Week 10 of S6, Kristina & John Sergeant performed their Waltz as an unscored ‘farewell’ dance after John’s decision to withdraw. This is the one occasion such a dance has taken place; John withdrew due to “a real danger I could win the show” which would be “a joke too far”
  • Kristina is the only female pro to score 40 for two Argentine Tangos; first with Jason Donovan in S9’s Semi-Final, and again three years later with Simon Webbe. Of the male pros, Giovanni achieved the same feat with Debbie McGee and Rose Ayling-Ellis
  • Kristina is one of 3 female Pros to receive a score of 1 from Craig; this was for her Week 8 Cha Cha Cha with John Sergeant. Karen Hardy and Hazel Newberry also received a 1 from Craig for Cha Cha Cha routines, but both of these were Week 1 performances
  • Kristina won the 2010 Christmas special, dancing a Quickstep with John Barrowman
