Strictly Come Dancing’s Sam Quek has plenty to celebrate — despite her place on the leaderboard

Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls.

But it’s a celebrity closer to the bottom of the leaderboard who has the most to celebrate.

The total puts Quek eight points behind first place (and eighth on the leaderboard) so she still has some way to go before becoming a serious contender in the series.
