Georgie, I know you were in the dance-off last week. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
How did that feel, to finally have that spotlight shining on you? | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Oh, it wasn't nice at all. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
But just had to come back this week and try harder. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
Been a bit poorly... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:54 | |
A little bit? | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
A little bit, yeah. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
I've had pharyngitis. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
What is that?! | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
I don't even know. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
Some sort of horrible illness. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
It's a bit like tonsillitis but your whole pharynx, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
so I've been a bit poorly. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
Did you think you'd get to this point? | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Absolutely not. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
When I look back to week one and the absolute mess | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
I did on stage... | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
That was just your hair. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
Ooh, you got me! | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
Yes, that got sorted. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
And then my footwork got sorted. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:24 | |
I can't believe how well it's gone. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
It has gone amazingly. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
I was thinking, you guys are missing a bit of a trick here. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
Coronation Street is probably the most famous theme tune, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
or the most famous piece of music in the world. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Why haven't you danced to it yet? | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
And how would you dance to it? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
I've got it on my phone. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
Would you give us a little bit of a routine to Corrie? | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
He has no idea what it is. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
Have you ever heard the Coronation Street theme tune? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |

What do they think of Mum being on Strictly Come Dancing? | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
They both dance, so especially my 15-year-old, who loves dancing, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
she's in heaven because she's old enough to come along | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
to the studio, so she's been along, and she just wants to get as close | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
as possible to the professionals and watch what they're doing | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
and look at their feet and she gets very technical. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
And then she drills me at home in the kitchen. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
Does she? | 0:02:15 | 0:02:16 | |
She does, yes. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:17 | |
More than Anton? | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
Much more than Anton! | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Being the youngest on the show, you've done so well. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
So, congratulations to you both and good luck. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:28 | |

a chimney by some builders. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
They managed to track David down. | 0:04:58 | 0:04:59 | |
He's now 78 years old, and, best of all, they gave him the gifts | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
he asked for all that time ago. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
Some toy soldiers, chalk and a silk tie! | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
