of celebrities and, while it\u2019s impossible to pin down a science behind the way the vote pans out, there is one common denominator that connects two-thirds of them: the Charleston.<\/p>\n<p>In previous years, the Charleston has often been one of the highest-scoring dances, with the likes of Caroline Flack, Chris Hollins, Denise van Outen, Danny Mac, Faye Tozer and others scoring 40 for theirs and going on to secure a place in the final.<\/p>\n<p>However, Strictly\u2019s 2022 series appears to be developing a Charleston Curse of sorts \u2013 with four celebrities being eliminated from the competition after performing it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source
