Answer: Len's Lens

Named after long serving head judge Len Goodman, Len's Lens was a segment that appeared in each results show, where the judges were invited to discuss specially selected video clips from the previous night's show. Len's Lens was introduced by Claudia Winkelman and was the source of much hilarity and fun-poking at both the contestants and the judges themselves. My personal favourite clip from the season was the one which showed judge, Bruno Tonioli, getting so excited that he fell off his chair and landed in an ungainly heap on the floor. His face as the clip was shown on Len's Lens was a picture!

Answer: Kimberley Walsh

Kimberley Walsh, or "Nimble Kimble" to quote the nickname given to her early in the season by head judge, Len Goodman, was paired with Russian professional dancer, Pasha Kovalev, for the series. A singer and actress, Kimberley was one of the five members of the girl group 'Girls Aloud' that enjoyed great success after being formed during the reality show, 'Popstars: The Rivals' in 2002. Kimberley and Pasha were the first couple of the series to score a perfect 40 points from the judges. They received it in the quarter finals for their Dance Fusion combination of cha-cha-cha and tango to 'It's Raining Men'. Dance Fusion, borrowed from the US show 'Dancing with the Stars,' was a new addition to 'Strictly Come Dancing' this season. Couples had to blend two different dance styles into one routine using one piece of music.

The couple made the final which gave Pasha the distinction of being the second male professional dancer on the show to make two consecutive finals equalling the record of Ian Waite. He had reached the final and been runner up with Chelsee Healey in season 9. Kimberley and Pasha finished as joint runners-up to the eventual winners. This meant that Pasha had been the runner-up in his first two seasons on the show.

31 Which former England captain exchanged the cricket field for the dance floor when he took part in series 10?
Answer: Michael Vaughan

When he exchanged the cricket field for the dance floor, former England batsman and cricket captain, Michael Vaughan, had some big boots to fill. Two former England cricketers had already won the glitter ball trophy, Darren Gough in series 3 and Mark Ramprakash the following year.

The couple found themselves in the dance-off as early as week 3 but were saved by the judges. He fared much better in the ballroom dances. In the 'Dancing through the Decades' week , which was broadcast live from the Wembley Arena, the couple closed the show with an American Smooth to "New York New York".

36 Which West End and Broadway actress, who was partnered by James Jordan, drew criticism from viewers about her previous dance training?
Answer: Denise van Outen

Denise van Outen, the actress, singer and TV presenter, was partnered with James Jordan for this series and was one of the early favourites to take the title. Denise started performing at an early age and, in 2001, played the role of Roxie Hart in the musical, 'Chicago', in the West End and again on Broadway in 2002. Her participation in 'Strictly Come Dancing' did not go down well in all quarters though, as it was felt that her previous dance training gave her an unfair advantage over the other celebrities. Despite being on top of the judges' leader board seven times including four consecutive top spots, the couple twice found themselves in the bottom two and having to dance off as viewers did not support them. On both occasions they were saved by the judges and made it through to the final. It was the first time in seven seasons that Jordan had made the final. They ended the show as joint runners-up to the eventual winners.

Answer: Louis Smith and Flavia Cacace

Despite a rather slow start to the competition where they drew mixed comments from the judges, Olympic gymnast, Louis Smith, and his partner, Flavia Cacace, won the final and lifted the much coveted glitter ball trophy as the season's champions.
