Lewis Cope earned the series' first perfect 10 for his Paso Doble despite facing claims of an unfair advantage due to prior dance experience, which he denies.
- Lewis Cope, a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing, received the first perfect score of 10 this season, stunning judges with his performance of Paso Doble to The Plaza of Execution, alongside partner Katya Jones.

- In response to accusations of being a professional dancer due to his past experience in performances, Lewis stated, "I trained as an actor, I danced a bit when I was a teen, but haven't since... it's only ever really been acting for me for a long, long time," as reported by Teesside Live.
- An expert on Strictly, Dr. Kathryn Stamp, noted there is no clear link between previous dance experience and success on the show, highlighting the unpredictability of each contestant's performance.
