It's amazing. Can't believe it. I am so excited. It's landed in | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Blackpool. The biggest place in the North. This is exciting, I've | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
stepped into the Tower! Oh, my goodness. Welcome to Blackpool. | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Isn't it amazing? It's actually really beautiful. A little bit of | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
heaven. This is what it's all about. Wow. My goodness, it's amazing. I | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
feel like we have to live up to it. I think we can now. Have you seen | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
George and Giovanni? Are you sure this is the quickest way to Tower | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Ballroom? Yes. Really? CHEERING AND | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
APPLAUSE Anton! This is far too cold, you | :01:11. | :02:20. | |

Live from Blackpool, the home of ballroom, this is Strictly Come | :05:17. | :05:26. | |
Dancing! Please welcome your hosts; Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman! | :05:27. | :05:47. | |
Welcome live from the beautiful Tower Ballroom! | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
Huge thank you to our entire Strictly cast for that amazing | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
opening number. This week we have a double weekend of dance! | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Are you ready, Blackpool? CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Excellent answer. Last week Jeremy Vine became the seventh star to | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
leave the competition after losing out in the Tansoff to Jamelia. We | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
are left with eight celebrities who've all earned the honour of | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
performing in one of the most prestigious dance venues in the | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
world. It's truly majestic so these four should feel right at home. | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
Please welcome the judges. Len Goodman, Darcey Bussell and | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Bruno Tonioli! CHEERING AND | :06:34. | :06:50. | |
APPLAUSE The judges, everyone. Hold on a | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
second, we seem to be missing someone. Has anyone seen Craig? Oh, | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
yes. You didn't want Jeremy's brilliant | :06:58. | :07:44. | |
drop to go to waste? No, I kid not. I made full and efficient use of it, | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
darling. Let's ask Jeremy what he thought of that, shall we? Jeremy? | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
Sweet. Craig, everybody! CHEERING AND | :07:59. | :08:11. | |
APPLAUSE Our celebrities are backstage all desperate to dance | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
here so let's not make them wait any longer. Please welcome our Strictly | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
stars! Kellie Bright with Kevin Clifton. | :08:25. | :08:44. | |
Anita Rani. Katie Derham. Georgia May Foote. Jamelia. Peter Andre. | :08:45. | :09:01. | |
Finally, from the Wanted, Jay McGinness. | :09:02. | :09:18. | |
Welcome couples. Just look at our Blackpool eight all dressed up to | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
the nines and hoping for tens. It's a huge achievement to get this far, | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
but sadly for one couple, this weekend will be the end of their | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
journey. So tonight, your votes are more | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
important than ever. They'll be added to the judges' scores to | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
decide which two couples will face each other in the dance-off | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
tomorrow. Opening the Blackpool special tonight is Jay McGinness and | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
his partner Aliona Vilani. They are starting off with a salsa, | :09:46. | :09:58. | |
it's a real party dance, we have got the music, the costumes and all we | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
need now are the guests, hundreds of them. Blackpool, ready to party? | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It's a yes! Last Saturday | :10:09. | :10:23. | |
was going smoothly, I thought, I had a hiccup, then the rest of the dance | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
I blanked. So sorry. It wasn't a good evening for you. As soon as you | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
start to dance, your face goes dead, you've got to do something about | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
that. Being third from the bottom of the leaderboard and being left until | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
the last before you are called through is definitely a horrible | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
feeling. I don't want to be there again. This week Jay and I are | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
dancing a salsa. Now, that has to be focussing on Jay getting into the | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
character of the dance and so hopefully his body will be feeling | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
the vibe and that will help the face. Facial expression-wise, the | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
judges will be looking to make sure I'm happy. That's it, good. Keeping | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
in with the theme of the salsa and the South American vibe, we are | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
going to be in sunny Blackpool. Because the Tower Ballroom is such a | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
massive room, our energy has to be that much bigger when we perform. | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
Smiles for everyone. Yes. No-one's going home without a smile. That's | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
right. Very excited to see the ballroom. Can't wait to see what it | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
looks like on the inside. Wow, this is incredible. I think the | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
pressure's definitely on to match the level of the venue that you're | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
at. I just hope I can bring all the energy that I need to fill the space | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
and hopefully the judges, Craig in particular, are happy with my face. | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
Dancing the salsa, Jay McGuinness and Aliona Vilani. | :11:50. | :12:39. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | :12:40. | :13:46. | |
Thank you. How about that for an audience' | :13:47. | :13:58. | |
reaction. I saw that smile light up your face, how did it feel? Really | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
nice. You look beautiful. Bless you, you're so sweet. I want you to take | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
it all in, soak up the atmosphere. A warm northern welcome to our band! | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
There they go. Brilliant job. Len, did they bring | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
Cuba to Blackpool? I brought everything. There's no end to your | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
talent, I didn't know you could make Blackpool rock! Just in the | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
atmosphere, yes! You really got the party started and I'll tell you, | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
I've been waiting since week three's jive to see anything as good and | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
you've just shown it to me. Well done! | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
Did they make you want to get up and get down? Oh, yes, get up and get | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
down, stick it in Top Gear and loins on fire! Don't you feel a heatwave | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
starting? Tonight is going to be hot and you started it very well. One | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
thing that I think is remarkable, you blended with the professionals | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
so well, it was indistinguishable. That last lift though, there was a | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
slight moment I felt fearful. Maybe it was my angle. Did you do your | :15:24. | :15:37. | |
back in? No. It was great. Craig, did that make you smile? I | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
thought the choreography was very good. I loved your hip action | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
throughout. It had a wonderful fluidity. I loved the way you were | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
spotting through the Gypsy terms. That was brilliant. I adored the | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
list. That was dangerous and brilliant. Finally, we are seeing | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
some facial expressions. CHEERING | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
Finally! Darcey? For me you warmed up the ballroom but you also warmed | :16:08. | :16:17. | |
me up, thank you very much. What was brilliant you were flirting with | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
Aliona from the beginning and you kept it to the end. The boys have | :16:21. | :16:29. | |
said it, your natural hip action. It was fantastic. | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
The judges loved it, we loved it. Go and join Claudia. | :16:37. | :16:52. | |
They said just as good as the jive, they had not seen anything as good | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
as that on week three, dangerous lifts, you must be over the moon? | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
Yes. Sorry, I feel very good. You always apologise to me afterwards. | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
The comments were amazing. For those watching at home, we talk about | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
Blackpool and say how much we love it. Aliona, can you put it into | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
words, the atmosphere in the ballroom? To ten times more because | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
of the audience. Good luck, the scores are in! | :17:31. | :17:52. | |
You must be really happy with that. Yes, I had so much fun, that was | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
brilliant. If you liked that routine and I can | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
confirm that Blackpool has been twinned with Havana then call... | :18:04. | :18:19. | |
It is time for the terms and conditions. I'm thinking Cuba, | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
Carnival and Congo. -- conga. I am getting in. Our next couple is | :18:24. | :18:50. | |
Jamelia and her partner Tristan MacManus. | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
CHEERING Tonight, they are doing the | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
quickstep and they will be playing the part of a pair of dolls dancing | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
in front of a joint dolls house. It is a great routine and I am sure | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
they are going to raise the roof. On Saturday night, I was really | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
happy with how it went. The dry was excellent. Tristan and I were in the | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
dance-off. After the fourth one, it does take its toll. It is horrible. | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
Blackpool for me is huge milestone. It is a great achievement. | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
This week we are dancing the quickstep. It is a great dance. I | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
have a little surprise for you. It will be a fun day out. | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
For the start of our dance we are going to be dolls in boxes. I | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
thought it would be a great idea to bring you here and get some | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
inspiration from the wax figures. That looks exactly like Britney | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
Spears. How ballooned would it be to have a waxwork made a view? Funnily | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
enough, I have organised it to see if people will believe you are an | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
actual wax figure. We will put it to the test to see if she can be | :20:06. | :20:19. | |
convincing dole. She looked so real! She can 100% be convincing as a | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
doll. Now it is time to get back into the | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
rehearsal. For the first part of the routine we are per dolls inboxes. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
Going to the waxworks helped. I am definitely looking forward to | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
getting into character. Dancing the quickstep, Jamelia and | :20:42. | :20:42. | |
Tristan MacManus. Jamelia and chest in! -- Tristan. | :20:43. | :22:46. | |
Our beautiful dancing dolls. You need double the stamina to quickstep | :22:47. | :22:55. | |
across the floor. Bruno? I believe the new totally! I tell you, that | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
was a quickstep of great content and beautiful packaging. Look at you all | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
told up. So nice. I can really see you worked a lot on your footwork | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
and it really showed. But now, now that you get the lower regions | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
sorted, still there are some problems with the frame. You have it | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
but then you tend to lose it when you get into the runs. Nothing here | :23:24. | :23:31. | |
moves, my darling. Nothing moves. You should be absolutely still. But | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
much, much better on the footwork. Well done. Thank you. Craig, can | :23:36. | :23:45. | |
they avoid a fifth dance-off? No, they can't really. I agree that you | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
need to have more stillness in your top lines. The underarm turns are | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
still problematic. You lost body contact throughout the whole thing. | :23:57. | :24:07. | |
Booing. Oh, be quiet, honestly! Your ballroom has come a long way. | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
That is what we like to hear. Darcey? Jamelia, well done. You came | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
out with the intent and energy and you travelled. There was not one | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
mistake. Very important. There is a combination of steps which Tristan | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
gave you was very difficult and you kept it going from the beginning to | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
the end. You should be very proud. It is your best ballroom, very | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
impressive. CHEERING | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
Then, would you agree? I am totally a believer. For all the | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
non-believers, you have got to look at the quickstep. You deserve 100% | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
to be here in Blackpool. You are like one of the clowns out the | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
front, you just keep rolling along. As for the quickstep, fantastic, a | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
great job. It was fabulous! Your best ballroom, well done, my | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
darling, off you go. Jamelia and Tristan! | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
I know, your little face! At first, you were a bit like that and then | :25:18. | :25:31. | |
they said your best ballroom, your brilliant, you deserve to be here. | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
You wanted to get to Blackpool, did you enjoy it? I'm really glad that | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
I'm here and I got to share it with everyone. You loved the quickstep? I | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
absolutely loved it. I think I read myself off when it came to ballroom | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
but then I loved it. And performing in Blackpool! OK, the scores are in. | :25:58. | :26:20. | |
That is good! Are you going to cry? You can have a cry. If you thought | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
that was a dolly good routine, please call... | :26:29. | :26:39. | |
Still to come, Katy dances in feathers. It was something which | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
tickled her fancy. Tests. Tess. | :26:43. | :27:00. | |
Our next dances are Anita Rani and Gleb Savchenko. Everything we train | :27:01. | :27:09. | |
for, it all came together on Saturday night. Blackpool is calling | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
your name! Blackpool is a milestone. I have never performed in | :27:16. | :27:24. | |
the Tower ballroom. I'm so excited and so ecstatic. I'm taking Gleb to | :27:25. | :27:32. | |
Blackpool. It is week nine and we are doing the paso doble. Did you go | :27:33. | :27:41. | |
there a lot? It has a special place in my heart. Welcome to sunny | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
Blackpool. First things first, fish and chips. Tell me what you think. | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
Good? I underestimated just how good it would feel to be in Blackpool. We | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
are at the pleasure Beach. I have been coming here since I was tiny. | :27:56. | :28:05. | |
Happy memories! I have this photo. This is exactly the same. When he | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
brought out that photograph of me as a tiny tot in Blackpool, I cannot | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
believe this is where I have got to. There it is, the Tower ballroom. It | :28:16. | :28:20. | |
is incredible. I have so many childhood memories of this place and | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
it feels really special. I'm going to have another amazing memory in | :28:26. | :28:26. | |
there. APPLAUSE | :28:27. | :30:35. | |
They're on their feet in Blackpool. Incredible. What a reaction from the | :30:36. | :30:44. | |
audience. Anita, you brought the ballroom to | :30:45. | :31:17. | |
Blackpool, no doubt about that. Drama, character-driven. Total | :31:18. | :31:23. | |
theatre, right up my street. Magnificent! | :31:24. | :31:33. | |
APPLAUSE Darcey, they have consistently dominated throughout | :31:34. | :31:40. | |
this competition. You know, it was forceful and you had the intent and | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
it was actually beautifully classy, you know. The detail of your | :31:46. | :31:53. | |
arm-ography. Even how you used your fingers to accentuate the style, | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
that is so unusual with all that power you have. Very difficult to | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
shine with the four large torsos around you, yes, but you did! You | :32:02. | :32:12. | |
shone like oh, beautiful. You can't get more dramatic than that can you, | :32:13. | :32:17. | |
Len, what did you think? Full of drama, you turned the ballroom into | :32:18. | :32:24. | |
a Bullring, absolutely. Your arms were fantastic, it had mood, it had | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
passion, it was fantastic. Well done. | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
Bruno? One thing is for sure, this was not a Paso Doble for | :32:32. | :32:39. | |
vegetarians! I never seen so much prime beef in such splendid display! | :32:40. | :32:45. | |
And you handled it, darling, like really the mistress of the arena, | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
you were commanding the proceeding, you were in the centre of the | :32:50. | :32:53. | |
action, you really embodied the heart and soul of Spain! Ole! | :32:54. | :33:03. | |
They loved it and so did we. That was phenomenal. Off you go. Adios, | :33:04. | :33:07. | |
Anita and Gleb! How magical must that be for you, | :33:08. | :33:22. | |
because we saw before your parents spent their honeymoon here and here | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
they are tonight enjoying a second one. Yes, they are, hello mum and | :33:27. | :33:30. | |
dad! Watching their little girl dance like that and get those | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
comments, does it feel quite emotional? It really does, | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
especially seeing them. This is my mum's dream and she said, it's just | :33:38. | :33:42. | |
so much better seeing her daughter fulfilling it than if she was doing | :33:43. | :33:50. | |
it herself. Amazing. I'm having the time of my life. I can't believe | :33:51. | :33:54. | |
what we are doing together, Gleb, it's incredible, thank you, thank | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
you. It was really wonderful to watch. The scores are in. | :33:58. | :34:17. | |
37! Gleb, you must be unbelievably proud? I'm so proud, so proud, this | :34:18. | :34:27. | |
is my favourite dance and to get a first 10. Huge congratulations. | :34:28. | :34:34. | |
If you enjoyed Anita dancing with men in black sticky tape, call: You | :34:35. | :34:46. | |
can vote online free of charge when the vote opens later. It was | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
fantastic. I loved it, thank you. Coming up later, Georgia sits on a | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
croissant, my mistake, it was a Crescent moon. You know what I mean. | :34:56. | :35:03. | |
Easily done. Tess? Up next it's Katie Derham and her | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
partner Anton Du Beke. Since the series began, Katie's had more ups | :35:10. | :35:14. | |
and downs with the judges than the Big One, but this week she's hoping | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
it won't be a bumpy ride for her American Smooth. | :35:19. | :35:23. | |
Last Saturday was great. I decided I wasn't going to let nerves spoil my | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
enjoyment of dancing on Strictly Come Dancing. Some say rumba, some | :35:28. | :35:39. | |
say "roomba", I say fantastic! Thrilled you were able to pull it | :35:40. | :35:45. | |
off in such a dramatic way. I was delighted for Katie. So we are doing | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
the American Smooth to, ain't that a kick in the head. Top hat and cane | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
naturally. It's Blackpool! Because our routine is Fred and Ginger, it | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
would be lovely for Erin to come down because we have been doing that | :35:59. | :36:04. | |
number for years. Hello... Today I met Erin who's been dancing with | :36:05. | :36:08. | |
Anton for 20 years. It was a thrill to be able to get some really good | :36:09. | :36:13. | |
tips for the American Smooth. You have to drape from here all the way | :36:14. | :36:17. | |
around there. There you go. Personal advice from her about this dance. | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
The American Smooth is a classy, sophisticated, elegant dance, which | :36:23. | :36:25. | |
you are. I know that Anton really wants you to enjoy this experience | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
and he cares about you guys as a partnership and he thinks you're | :36:31. | :36:35. | |
great. It was lovely to see Erin, she's got a baby at home and she | :36:36. | :36:41. | |
spared the time. I feel really inspired. | :36:42. | :36:49. | |

Ain't that a Kick in the Head... CHEERING AND | :37:10. | :38:38. | |
APPLAUSE That went down a storm. | :38:39. | :39:01. | |
Come on over. The perfect routine for the home of ballroom. Beautiful | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
and elegant, just like you, Katie. Thank you. Did you get a kick out of | :39:06. | :39:12. | |
that, Darcey? Katie, that was exquisite, it really was. You had | :39:13. | :39:19. | |
such lure, film star-style from beginning to end again. | :39:20. | :39:25. | |
APPLAUSE I think you have really found and understood, I would only | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
say there's slight things in the transitions, if you could find a | :39:30. | :39:32. | |
still moment, just to smooth those out because that's just where you | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
get a little jittery and trying to find your spot again just as you | :39:37. | :39:39. | |
change, but plenty of wow factor, thank you. | :39:40. | :39:47. | |
APPLAUSE Thank you. Something tells me our head ballroom boy loved every | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
minute of that. I saw his face, am I right, Len? Well, it was better than | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
a kick in the head and you didn't need a kick up theer... Backside. | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
You merely came out and performed it. It was a fitting dance for this | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
wonderful ballroom. Elegant, glamour and sophistication. Well done! | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
It's your best dance, no question. Oh, thank you. | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
Your best dance. Bruno, was it smooth enough for you? What an | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
amazing welcome to the Temple of Ballroom. | :40:20. | :40:21. | |
APPLAUSE I tell you, Blackpool brings the | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
best out of people because stylistically, it was impeccable, it | :40:27. | :40:30. | |
was like a tribute to the great dancing Queens of the Hollywood | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
golden days, a bit of Ginger Rogers, Rita hey worth, just amazing, and in | :40:36. | :40:42. | |
hold, you are absolutely fantastic. You drove her around beautifully and | :40:43. | :40:52. | |
you look like a dream. Thank you. Craig, finish us off, my darling? It | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
had the elegance we expect and we know that is your forte actually, | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
but sometimes out of the lifts you looked a little lost. You must know | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
exactly what direction that you are going to go for. There was a wobble | :41:06. | :41:10. | |
over here before that turning lift and when you came out of that lift | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
and went into the section with the boys, there was a big old mix-up of | :41:15. | :41:17. | |
what direction you were meant to go in when you got back to centre. If | :41:18. | :41:23. | |
you can sort those out darling, absolutely gorgeous! | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
APPLAUSE Gorgeous, the pair of you. Off you | :41:29. | :41:30. | |
go, you smoothies. Katie and Anton! They loved it. Your face while Craig | :41:31. | :41:50. | |
was speaking was like... I was waiting to hear what he said. Did | :41:51. | :41:54. | |
you like that? Loved it. The most wonderful dance. To perform this | :41:55. | :41:58. | |
dance here with Anton who does know Blackpool pretty well... And the | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
ballroom. Indeed. And I imagine sneaks in the hat? I comes with me | :42:04. | :42:09. | |
wherever I go. Makes me look sort of younger don't you think. Already | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
reduced my age by months. At least! Scores are in. | :42:14. | :42:34. | |
APPLAUSE Your highest score. My goodness. | :42:35. | :42:48. | |
Even Fuad up all your other scores... From other years. | :42:49. | :42:52. | |
Congratulations. Delighted, thank you. | :42:53. | :43:01. | |
That six is up side down! APPLAUSE | :43:02. | :43:04. | |

Blackpool, can we come again? We have all of this still to come. | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
A bigger ballroom. That's going to be quite a shock to the system that | :43:36. | :43:38. | |
we are going to fly down this ballroom floor. The jive's | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
fast-paced which I love, but there's a lot of footwork. It's going to | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
take me some time. To be able to do a Viennese waltz around the | :43:49. | :43:51. | |
Blackpool Tower ballroom sin credible. | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
There's loads of lifts, up side down, up and around. So much fun. | :43:58. | :44:01. | |
I cannot wait to see all of that! Why have we got all these male | :44:02. | :44:09. | |
dancers lined up? Good question. I want to try out my Kiss Me Quick | :44:10. | :44:17. | |
hat. I think it might be broken! That'll | :44:18. | :44:25. | |
be it Claud. Gleb, I'm going to fix it. Our next couple is Peter Andre | :44:26. | :44:34. | |
and Janet Manrara. They are doing a jive set in a 1960ses TV studio and | :44:35. | :44:40. | |
it will be just like TVs studio instead of black-and-white, we'll | :44:41. | :44:43. | |
have colour, instead of standard we'll have HD and instead of Skippy, | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
the kangaroo, we'll have Peter Andre! | :44:48. | :44:57. | |
I would never have expected my second highest score of the season | :44:58. | :45:03. | |
on a Viennese waltz. It was wonderful. We made Blackpool. The | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
joy on Janette's face made me even more happy. We macro I cannot wait | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
to dance on that floor. This week we're doing a drive and it is 60s | :45:14. | :45:18. | |
theme inspired. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could travel back in | :45:19. | :45:23. | |
time and visit the 60s? Funny you should say that, I built us a time | :45:24. | :45:32. | |
machine. It is impossible... Today we have special guests from 2015, it | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
is only Peter and Janette! I love the hair. This is a great | :45:38. | :45:51. | |
competition. What are you dancing to? River deep, Mountain high. It is | :45:52. | :46:05. | |
a classic. It is almost brand-new. I am loving it, loving it. | :46:06. | :46:09. | |
We would love to see some of the routine. | :46:10. | :46:15. | |
Dancing the jive, Peter Andre and Janette Manrara! | :46:16. | :46:38. | |
Come on over if you have any energy left! | :46:39. | :48:29. | |
No wonder the 60s were swinging! Len, would you tune in for that? | :48:30. | :48:36. | |
Yes, of course I would. It is always lovely to see you dance, Peter. | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
Lights, camera and plenty of action! I must say, I am out of breath | :48:42. | :48:46. | |
watching it. To be honest, it was not your finest. Your hands kept | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
going very wide and especially on the pivot. I'm starting to sound | :48:52. | :49:00. | |
like it is terrible and it wasn't. All in all, action packed and full | :49:01. | :49:07. | |
on, well done! Bruno, what did you think? It easy as, energy, | :49:08. | :49:13. | |
performance level, top of the Pops! But I say, you have to be careful, I | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
tell you before, because of all that energy ended his ears, you tend to | :49:20. | :49:24. | |
lose the style of the dance. Kicks and flicks in the jive. That's what | :49:25. | :49:30. | |
we are looking at. Then you tend to get your weight backwards because | :49:31. | :49:34. | |
you are doing the top thing which we love, but then you lose in the jive, | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
my darling. I told you before, you have to combine the two. Don't lose | :49:40. | :49:43. | |
all that wonderful energy that it has to be recognisable as the jive | :49:44. | :49:51. | |
as well. Yes! Gray, we have had some strong jive is the series. How did | :49:52. | :49:58. | |
it compare? -- Craig. I'm afraid it fell to the bottom. It was | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
flat-footed, heavy and the kicks looked very, very odd. There was a | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
lack of attraction in all of them. Your weight was in the wrong place | :50:09. | :50:16. | |
sometimes in the ball changes. It was quite strange. But I have to say | :50:17. | :50:18. | |
your commitment and your energy to dance is the nominal. | :50:19. | :50:27. | |
The commitment, Darcey? It is fast and furious. I have to say, that may | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
the bounce of this dance floor and ballroom might have ricocheted. Your | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
weight did get really far back but you were in your element when you on | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
the stairs. There were images of Bruneau dancing up there. The truth | :50:41. | :50:46. | |
is, I got some of it wrong, but I did have a great time. We had a | :50:47. | :50:53. | |
ball, didn't we? In the ballroom. You got this ballroom bouncing. The | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
flaw was bouncing, so were they and so were we, ladies and gentlemen? | :50:58. | :51:04. | |
Thank you, judges. Off you go to see Claudia, Peter and Janette! | :51:05. | :51:16. | |
You found the jive quite difficult? Yes, but it is great because we are | :51:17. | :51:23. | |
learning new techniques. I will get my breath back in a minute! You had | :51:24. | :51:28. | |
enormous fun. We loved it here. Last week you were joint second, the week | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
before you were top, then is it hard getting comments like that from the | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
judges? No. We had a blast. We had the time of our lives in this | :51:40. | :51:44. | |
beautiful ballroom. It is amazing, so it is fine. And I have had weeks | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
when I have been so good and you cannot expect always have a great | :51:51. | :51:58. | |
week, so this is good for me. A great dance. The scores are in. | :51:59. | :52:16. | |
Such different scores. Do you know what I love about you? Anyone else | :52:17. | :52:25. | |
who had just got a 6, bet you were like, that is fine, the man has an | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
opinion. If you like Peter and Janette, called... | :52:31. | :52:38. | |
Still to come later, five Helen Georges. If you find the real one, | :52:39. | :52:46. | |
you win a coconut. That is a fact. Tess. Performing | :52:47. | :52:57. | |
next is Georgia May Foote and her partner Giovanni Pernice. Lastly, | :52:58. | :53:01. | |
Georgia got the highest score of the series. 39 for that unforgettable | :53:02. | :53:08. | |
routine. Can she do it again tonight? Let's ask the audience. | :53:09. | :53:15. | |
Ladies and gentlemen, what you? Yes! She is dancing and American smooth. | :53:16. | :53:21. | |
Let's hope our Northern Star shines brighter than ever. Come on, | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
Georgia! Last Saturday night was amazing. I | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
could not believe it! Darcey was so excited. That is how it makes me | :53:34. | :53:38. | |
feel! This week we're doing a Viennese | :53:39. | :53:56. | |
waltz American smooth to I Kay-macro have paracrine nothing by Whitney | :53:57. | :53:57. | |
Houston. Now we are dancing he will not stop. | :53:58. | :54:16. | |
To be honest, I have no idea why Georgia does not like my singing. It | :54:17. | :54:23. | |
is a bit too much so I am going to take into some karaoke to get it out | :54:24. | :54:30. | |
of his system once and for all. I was born to be a singer. Not a | :54:31. | :54:39. | |
dance, come on! I think personally, coming here today is a belt in idea. | :54:40. | :54:47. | |
Now it is time to get back to rehearsals and hope we may let on | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
Saturday. Dancing the American smooth, Georgia | :54:51. | :54:54. | |
May Foote and Giovanni Pernice. MUSIC: I Have Nothing | :54:55. | :55:26. | |
by Whitney Houston How about that, ladies and | :55:27. | :56:55. | |
gentlemen? Twinkle, twinkle, Little Star! That was beautiful. Bruneau, | :56:56. | :57:03. | |
where you are over the moon with that? You, heavenly creature! I | :57:04. | :57:12. | |
think I am experiencing, as we all do, pure ballroom Blitz! -- bliss. | :57:13. | :57:27. | |
Your arms were like water. It was fantastic, my dear. There was a | :57:28. | :57:32. | |
small miss timing in the lift but I am going to wash over that. It was | :57:33. | :57:40. | |
my dress. The same thing happened to me the other night, my darling. It | :57:41. | :57:48. | |
was fantastic! Fantastic. Parsley, last week you gave Georgia ten. How | :57:49. | :57:57. | |
does this we compare? You are so graceful, I will have to call you | :57:58. | :58:00. | |
graceful Georgia. You are gliding through this competition, well done! | :58:01. | :58:08. | |
Len, last week she topped the Leader Board, can she do the same this | :58:09. | :58:14. | |
week? With this storm last night and you're dancing tonight, that is | :58:15. | :58:17. | |
twice I have been blown away in Blackpool. That was a brilliant, | :58:18. | :58:29. | |
brilliant dance! Thank you, judges. They wowed us all again. You have | :58:30. | :58:35. | |
done it again. New go! Go and see Claudia. Well done, Georgia and | :58:36. | :58:39. | |
Giovanni. # Love me, love me, if I don't | :58:40. | :58:58. | |
have... We have all loved your singing. To | :58:59. | :59:06. | |
be here is a dream country. And your grandma is here? Yes, Granma! And my | :59:07. | :59:13. | |
dad! And I believe those are your great-grandmother's earrings? Yes, | :59:14. | :59:18. | |
she used to do some ballroom dancing and her brooch. I am honoured to | :59:19. | :59:20. | |
wear it today. The scores are in. time in Blackpool. Last week you | :59:21. | :59:56. | |
told me it would be a bit like Sicily. It's even better than that. | :59:57. | :00:01. | |
Yes. You don't get tens there. If that routine made your night, please | :00:02. | :00:03. | |
call: You can vote for free online when | :00:04. | :00:15. | |
the vote opens later. I think I'm going to cry... People do that, | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
people do that. Still to come, Kellie dances with a | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
stationery man who works in an office, he doesn't just stand there, | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
you see what I did there. Tess. Our next couple is Helen George and her | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
partner Aljaz Skorjanec. Over the seen e series, it's become | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
clear these two have great chemistry. Aljaz has been saying, | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
what can be better than having Helen George as a partner, well, Aljaz, | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
how about a few Helens? I loved last Saturday, it was | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
brilliant getting to do a dance that was aggressive and fierce. I'm | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
enormously proud of Helen. She delivered an incredible performance. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Such a great tango, well done both of you. Loved it. Really pleased to | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
be second, it's a really tough competition. We are going to | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
Blackpool. Brilliant. It's amazing. This week we are doing the | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
charleston, definitely the most difficult choreography we have done. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
It's difficult this week. I know we are going to have some backing | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
dancers this week and the idea is, they are meant to look exactly like | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
me so I thought I would invite some people along. It's a great idea. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Brilliant. Aljaz, meet Helen, Helen and Helen. I have my work cut out | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
with one Helen so I have no idea what I'm goes ... Going to do with | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
four. You need to be precise... Helen three, please focus. That's | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
three. I'm one. This isn't going well at all. Can I please get a car | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
to Blackpool. Argh... Go, go, drive, drive, Blackpool. Poor Aljaz, I | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
think we might have broken him. Dancing the charleston, Helen George | :02:30. | :02:30. | |

Anything Goes... CHEERING AND | :02:55. | :04:20. | |
APPLAUSE I'm surprised you have any energy | :04:21. | :04:42. | |
left after that. You are the real Helen, yes. I'm the real Helen. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Thank you so much to our wonderful dancers because they worked so hard | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
to get that routine. Brilliant routine. There might have been loads | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
of Helens, but only one set of scores. Let's talk to Craig, you | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
know about charleston which is fun. That lacks a bit of quirk for me. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Needs to be messed up a bit. A little too controlled. This dance | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
should go mad and wild and you can look ugly in it, you know, it's one | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
of the dances that you can actually get away with that. Darcey doesn't | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
agree. For production values, you are an absolutely brilliant dancer. | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Are you saluting that army of Helens? For me, I disagree with what | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
he said. It was one classy charleston. You created the coin | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
addition with your lines with precision, mirroring each other, the | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
sequence during the wings and everything. Loved it. Thank you, | :05:39. | :05:47. | |
Darcey. Did you, Len? Yes, I did. Full of vim and vigour. A tad too | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
much side by side. I would have liked a little more content in hold | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
or together, but other than that, as always, a wonderful polished | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
performance. Thanks, Len. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
Bruno? Sassy, glam, glitzy, it was like watching one of those | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
show-stopping numbers on Broadway and you really perform it perfectly | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
I think. You've got the style, you were so clean and precise. From my | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
angle did you go on the wrong foot? No, I tripped... No, no, no, no... | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
...En Don't apologise. That move all of a sudden. Listen, don't worry | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
because I tell you you will go a long way, you are a brilliant, | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
brilliant dancer. Thank you. Precise and polished. He loved it. Go and | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
sea the one and only Claudia. Helen and Aljaz. | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
APPLAUSE Well done. You enjoyed it didn't | :06:47. | :06:58. | |
you? I loved it. It was so nice to go out there and do a completely | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
different style and try and forget about the steps for a second and | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
just perform it. The scores are in. Are you relieved? Yes, I didn't want | :07:04. | :07:36. | |
any sixes. If you enjoyed this dance, please call: | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
Remember, you can find us on Facebook, on Twitter, on the | :07:47. | :07:51. | |

Time for our final couple, Kellie Bright and her partner Kevin | :08:00. | :08:00. | |
Clifton. They are doing a quickstep set in an | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
office to a Dolly Parton classic, never mind Nine To Five, it's a | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
routine they have been working night and day on and they are hoping it | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
will get them promotion to the top of the leaderboard. | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Last Saturday, it was a bit overwhelming. When Craig gave us | :08:23. | :08:34. | |
that nine... Nine! I felt very emotional. It was a great feeling. | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
This week we have got quickstep. Yes, we do. So I thought maybe you | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
would like to see people doing it in Blackpool. Love it! This is what | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
I've done all my life. The Championships last weekend. I would | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
love to go and see that. So Kevin takes Kellie to the Winter Gardens | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
to give her a taste of where he started out. I could tell Kevin was | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
moved by it. One of the most important and special places and it | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
brings back loads of memories for me. I won four British Championships | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
here but haven't been here since the day I finished competing. Wow. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Watching all those couples move around the dance floor at the same | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
time going so fast, looking so effortless, it was amazing, it was | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
incredible to watch. We are going off training now to use what we have | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
seen today and hopefully we can make our quickstep the best it can be. | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
Dancing the quickstep, Kellie Bright and Kevin Clifton. | :09:41. | :09:50. | |
