Strictly star shares producer input behind TV judges’ deliberate scoring system

2022-10-08

Strictly Come Dancing 2020 star HRVY has opened up about some of the show's biggest secrets.

The singer, 23, chatted exclusively to the Daily Star during a Facebook Live tell-all last week.

When asked if he had any tips for this year's lineup, he said: "Well, it was really nerve-wracking, every week I was like 'oh my god.'

"I just think you're on the show for entertainment if you mess up – who cares? People love it.

"It's TV a show, you're making people happy at home regardless if you mess up the dance.

"You've also gotta remember it's a TV show so if you do an amazing dance and they give you a low score, sometimes its part of the journey, the producers have a journey for you.

HRVY continued: "I do think that they refrain from giving super high scores at the beginning of the show. If people are coming out with 10, 10, 10s then it's like 'well, where is there to go?'

"I remember seeing dances early in the weeks and they got 8s and 7s but if they did the exact same dances in week 10 then maybe they'd have got 10s."

He added: "But listen, it's a dance show but it's also a TV show at the same time so I wouldn't get wrapped up in all the scoring.

"If the public love you and you come across well and if you're smiling and appreciative and you enjoy what you're doing, you're going to be fine."

The star also revealed he has high hopes for himself and his ex-Emmerdale actress girlfriend Mimi Slinger.

HRVY, who was a runner-up in the 2020 BBC dancing show competition, said: "We actually met on a red carpet a year ago at the NTAs – she was stood in front of me and I was like 'woah, she's fit and she looks lovely'.

"We ended up chatting that night actually and it went from there and we have the NTAs coming up again in a few weeks' time and we'll turn up together."

He explained: "She's doing loads of self-tapes for Netflix and Amazon at the moment and she does her modelling thing as well, so she doing her thing."

When asked if the pair were "couple goals", HRVY replied: "I don't know about couple goals but one day we could be like Angelina and Brad Pitt. Oh no, they broke up, didn't they? Or Posh and Becks one day maybe."
