After their dance, Craig Revel Horwood awarded Dennis a score of two, the lowest individual score of the episode, and the pair went on to receive 15 points altogether – the lowest judges’ scores of the episode.This week, the judges’ scores were added to the scores from last week and combined with the results of the viewers’ votes to decide the lowest-scoring couples.
