Tonight, on strictly, five semifinalists, two challenging

:00:11.:00:15.

dancers, and one last chance to make it to the final. I've never danced

:00:16.:00:22.

before and I've got to the semifinals, but last week, I was

:00:23.:00:24.

bottom of the Leader Board, so I really have to give it everything

:00:25.:00:28.

I've got. I'm feeling the pressure, big-time. It's tough learning two

:00:29.:00:33.

dances and we can't afford to waste a single moment. I seem to have been

:00:34.:00:37.

good at the ballroom, but I'll have to work really hard at the

:00:38.:00:39.

charleston to stand any chance of getting to the final. I was top of

:00:40.:00:44.

the Leader Board last week but I stumbled and blanked in the past so

:00:45.:00:50.

I can't let that happen this week. Doing two dances is extremely tough,

:00:51.:00:52.

double the work, double the risk. I've been top of the Leader Board

:00:53.:00:57.

three times now but I took a big knock last week being in the Dance

:00:58.:01:00.

Off. I'm determined to come back stronger this week. I do not want to

:01:01.:01:04.

miss out on the final. I've been in the Dance Off more than anybody else

:01:05.:01:08.

but it's making me more determined. I'd be devastated to miss out on the

:01:09.:01:12.

final at this stage. I don't want this to end.

:01:13.:01:53.

Live from the BBC, this is Strictly Come Dancing -

:01:54.:02:03.

Please welcome your hosts...

:02:04.:02:17.

Hello and welcome to Strictly Come Dancing.

:02:18.:02:36.

Tonight our five remaining couples will have to perform not one,

:02:37.:02:43.

So it's double the dancing, double the excitement

:02:44.:02:47.

In last week's Dance Off, Helen and Aljaz faced Georgia

:02:48.:02:53.

and Giovanni and it was Helen who left the competition.

:02:54.:02:59.

And with only one week to the final, who stays?

:03:00.:03:01.

With the standard so high ? who knows?

:03:02.:03:04.

One thing we do know it's going to be a busy night

:03:05.:03:07.

Now, all we're missing is our semifinalists ? so please

:03:08.:03:48.

EastEnders actress Kellie Bright, and her partner Kevin Clifton.

:03:49.:03:59.

TV presenter Anita Rani, and her partner Gleb Savchenko.

:04:00.:04:03.

From BBC Proms and Radio 3 presenter Katie Derham,

:04:04.:04:06.

Actress Georgia May Foote, and her partner Giovanni Pernice.

:04:07.:04:12.

And finally from The Wanted, pop star Jay McGuiness,

:04:13.:04:16.

Each of them just two dances away from the final.

:04:17.:04:38.

The judges' scores from both dances will be added together to determine

:04:39.:04:45.

where they end up on the Leader Board.

:04:46.:04:47.

The two couples with the lowest combined viewer vote and judges'

:04:48.:04:49.

scores will face the Dance Off in tomorrow night's Results Show.

:04:50.:04:53.

Sadly, one of our couples will not make it through to

:04:54.:04:55.

Dancing first for a place in the final is Katie Derham

:04:56.:05:01.

Their first dance tonight is a Charleston, to "Too Darn Hot".

:05:02.:05:16.

It's a very appropriate title, because with a place in the final

:05:17.:05:19.

at stake, things are really hotting up.

:05:20.:05:26.

Saturday was just fantastic. The foxtrot was definitely my favourite

:05:27.:05:35.

dance so far. Standing, it was beautiful. You were amazing. Just

:05:36.:05:40.

brilliant. I can't believe I'm in the semifinals of Strictly Come

:05:41.:05:44.

Dancing. This is way, way better than I thought I would do in this

:05:45.:05:48.

competition. It's lovely to watch people develop and grow. I'm getting

:05:49.:05:55.

emotional, shut up! Our first dance this week is the charleston. All the

:05:56.:05:59.

charleston As that everybody has danced so far have been really

:06:00.:06:03.

brilliant and they have scored really well. That's intimidating. It

:06:04.:06:09.

has to be hugely entertaining. The strong, characterful, characterful

:06:10.:06:13.

dance and Katie has those attributes in abundance. I've not done anything

:06:14.:06:17.

like this before and we've got a lot of work to do. It's lovely to know

:06:18.:06:21.

that so many people are voting for us. Anton showed me the messages

:06:22.:06:28.

from viewers which was just lovely. Double -- good luck, Katie, we love

:06:29.:06:34.

you. Good looks, Katie and Anton. Katie, your legs are wonderful. You

:06:35.:06:40.

have lovely legs. I hope you do really well in the semifinals. Good

:06:41.:06:47.

luck in the semis. How nice was that? It was really nice,

:06:48.:06:50.

heart-warming. I've worked hard this week on the charleston and now I

:06:51.:06:55.

want to pull off because everyone loves watching the charleston, so I

:06:56.:06:56.

want to do a good one. Dancing

:06:57.:07:02.

the Charleston, "Too Darn Hot" ? too darn right,

:07:03.:07:04.

that was sizzling - Whilst you two cool down it's a good

:07:05.:09:06.

time to welcome our fabulous live singers, Hayley, Patrick, Andrea,

:09:07.:09:10.

Tommy and of course Dave Arch CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:09:11.:09:26.

Lynne, they have two chances to impress you tonight. How did they do

:09:27.:09:31.

with the first? I am hoping the other is going to be a lot better

:09:32.:09:34.

because you looks hot, but the dance was not. It was a struggle. It

:09:35.:09:41.

wasn't slick enough. Some of the lifts were a bit clumsy. You looked

:09:42.:09:46.

as though you were outside your comfort zone. You didn't come out

:09:47.:09:51.

and just give it wow. It's the semifinal, I want to praise

:09:52.:09:55.

everyone, but I have to be honest. For me, it wasn't your best moment.

:09:56.:10:02.

I'm sorry. Fair enough, I'm not sure the audience agreed. Bruno? Listen,

:10:03.:10:06.

you have the looks and you have the figure. What more do you want? You

:10:07.:10:12.

went a bit Lucy Goosey. You went Lucy Goosey on me. The charleston

:10:13.:10:17.

went off with it, you went off timing. It's the quarterfinals, I'm

:10:18.:10:23.

sorry, the semifinals. OK, OK, I'm jet-lagged still! Calm down. Don't

:10:24.:10:29.

take it away from you... APPLAUSE

:10:30.:10:37.

It's the momentum, you got a bit tense, you went off timing, you went

:10:38.:10:42.

Lucy Goosey, you will come back for the next dance and get it together.

:10:43.:10:47.

There you go. Fair enough, Lucy Goosey. Craig? The swivel was

:10:48.:10:52.

nonexistent in that at all, it was awkward. I thought it was too

:10:53.:10:57.

placed, it was stiff looking at times. You looks most uncomfortable

:10:58.:11:00.

throughout the entire dance. The kicks were completely out of time.

:11:01.:11:07.

AUDIENCE BOOMS. I hope your next dance is perfect because I can't

:11:08.:11:11.

feed that done is getting you into the final. A second chance. Darcey,

:11:12.:11:17.

did Katie capture the character of the charleston? It was absolutely

:11:18.:11:22.

charming. When you started off, I thought yes, yes.

:11:23.:11:24.

APPLAUSE The only thing is you have to follow

:11:25.:11:28.

that through until the very end and I just saw you fade, just that

:11:29.:11:32.

stamina, that energy, that you need to carry you until the end and

:11:33.:11:36.

because you got out of sync, both of you, it let it down and that was a

:11:37.:11:40.

shame because I can feel the nerves and I totally understand. We are

:11:41.:11:44.

hearing the semifinals and we have high expectations. It's a shame it

:11:45.:11:46.

wasn't your best. APPLAUSE

:11:47.:11:52.

You still have another chance to impress, do not despair. Go and get

:11:53.:11:57.

your scores. We all loved it, ladies and gentlemen. Katie and Anton.

:11:58.:11:58.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That must have been a bit of a

:11:59.:12:16.

shock, because you opened, it was a semifinal, look at you. Well, I

:12:17.:12:20.

loved it but obviously I wasn't watching it, I was doing it. Fair

:12:21.:12:25.

enough, fair enough. The audience absolutely loved it. How hard is it

:12:26.:12:32.

doing two dances? The two dances, you said yourself, slightly out of

:12:33.:12:36.

your comfort zone because you'd love the ballroom. I love the ballroom,

:12:37.:12:40.

I'm looking forward to the waltz. I love that too and I've loved every

:12:41.:12:44.

week on the show. No disappointment from me there really. I thought it

:12:45.:12:48.

was good. The audience will dictate at the end of the day.

:12:49.:12:50.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Correct. The scores are in. It's

:12:51.:12:59.

time to get the scores from the judges. Craig Revel Horwood...

:13:00.:13:15.

What do you want to say about the floor? I want to say this, is there

:13:16.:13:22.

any chance we can get Donny Osmond on the phone, quick? Donny would

:13:23.:13:26.

give it 25. If you want to see Katie's legs in the final, obviously

:13:27.:13:33.

with the rest of the herb, it comes as a package. Call:

:13:34.:13:46.

You can do it as many times as you like.

:13:47.:13:50.

Calls cost 15p plus your network's access charge.

:13:56.:13:57.

Voting won't open until after our couples have danced twice.

:13:58.:14:04.

Dancing next is Jay McGuiness and his partner Aliona Vilani.

:14:05.:14:33.

Their first dance is a Viennese waltz.

:14:34.:14:37.

This is a dance that involves a lot of fast rotations,

:14:38.:14:39.

which can often cause dizziness, but it's been learning two dances

:14:40.:14:42.

this week that's really had Jay's head in a spin.

:14:43.:14:45.

Last Saturday night we had a really simple rumba and it meant we could

:14:46.:14:52.

focus on telling the story. I just felt every minute of it. I felt

:14:53.:14:58.

wicked. Tonight you've convinced me you're a terrific dancer.

:14:59.:15:04.

CHEERING. We've got a 39, which is one point higher than last week. We

:15:05.:15:07.

want to continue that trend if we can. Now we are so close to the

:15:08.:15:11.

final I would love to be there. That's why I'm going to bring my A

:15:12.:15:19.

game. My first dance this week is the Viennese waltz. Anything can go

:15:20.:15:24.

wrong in our waltz. One misstep and the fluidity and the grace of the

:15:25.:15:27.

dance can be ruined. Is it going to be done in time? We'll see. If I'm

:15:28.:15:33.

going to get through to the final, this Viennese waltz has to be

:15:34.:15:36.

perfect. Now they are putting us into the finals I have some good

:15:37.:15:42.

luck messages to show you. Aliona has brought me some support

:15:43.:15:47.

messages. I can't wait to see them. Good luck Jay and Aliona. Good luck

:15:48.:15:52.

with the jive. Good luck, we love you. Love you too. We've been

:15:53.:15:57.

getting so much support and it is awesome. It really gets you through

:15:58.:16:01.

the rough patches. Good luck Jay and Aliona. We want you to win Strictly.

:16:02.:16:08.

The support is incredible. Do them proud and deliver two great dances.

:16:09.:16:11.

Let's do it. CHEERING.

:16:12.:16:13.

Dancing the Viennese waltz, Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani.

:16:14.:16:17.

MUSIC: "Have You Ever Loved A Woman".

:16:18.:17:54.

Oh, beautiful. Beautiful storytelling. They're on their feet

:17:55.:18:16.

in the studio. CHEERING. You've had to learn two

:18:17.:18:21.

new routines this week. How has that been? It's been pretty difficult but

:18:22.:18:27.

we've got quite different dances, so I'm trying to separate them in my

:18:28.:18:35.

mind. Carlston next. Bruno, how did he do, do he deliver? It was simply

:18:36.:18:40.

beautiful and absolutely loveable. You take such care on everything you

:18:41.:18:53.

do. I love your lyrical arms. You could have been at the Royal Ballet,

:18:54.:18:59.

which I love. A tiny little bit more drive, oomph. But still very nice.

:19:00.:19:03.

Cheers, thank you. APPLAUSE. He topped the leaderboard

:19:04.:19:08.

last week, Craig. How did he do tonight? I really loved the opening

:19:09.:19:14.

sequence. I loved that you put a pirouette into a turn into hold. It

:19:15.:19:18.

is simple, it is effective. I think your top line could be more

:19:19.:19:22.

exaggerated, getting the head to the left even more would be good. I felt

:19:23.:19:28.

story-wise it looked like Aliona had just dumped you. You didn't smile

:19:29.:19:34.

once through it. It didn't look like you were enjoying it.

:19:35.:19:38.

AUDIENCE BOOING. Your face is extremely plain. That's my only

:19:39.:19:44.

bugbear with you. You told the story well. I disagree. Saving it for the

:19:45.:19:50.

Charleston, Craig. Darcey? Sorry, I disagree with Craig.

:19:51.:19:54.

CHEERING. You created, the first note of the music I could feel the

:19:55.:19:58.

romance between you. It doesn't have to be facial expressions, especially

:19:59.:20:02.

in a Viennese waltz. A it had to be a feeling, a breath, and you did

:20:03.:20:08.

that. Just how lyrical you were. And when you did that two-and-a-half

:20:09.:20:11.

turns to the floor and touched her as you came out of it. All of those

:20:12.:20:15.

things. Sometimes, because your technique is so good, you sometimes

:20:16.:20:19.

look comfortable and you could step out, make larger moves across the

:20:20.:20:23.

dancefloor. But still a very nice performance.

:20:24.:20:29.

CHEERING. Len? Well, actually I'm in a bit of a pickle here. I really

:20:30.:20:35.

don't want to. I loved that start. You went into a reverse fleckerl. I

:20:36.:20:40.

loved that and into a natural fleckerl and I thought, this is

:20:41.:20:44.

going to be great and it was great. It had lovely movement. All that

:20:45.:20:48.

opening section. Let me tell you and try to understand. This is nothing

:20:49.:20:53.

nasty. I'm not... The natural turn, you have to close your feet. OK.

:20:54.:21:00.

Forward, side, close. You never did. You were doing it almost like a

:21:01.:21:04.

reverse turn, where you crossed your feet. So that got me into a pickle,

:21:05.:21:09.

because as much as I loved it, I have to be true to myself and I have

:21:10.:21:16.

to look at the technique. And you did that not well. OK.

:21:17.:21:21.

AUDIENCE BOOING. Well... I am so passionate about getting the right

:21:22.:21:26.

people into this final. Nothing I say is meant other than to be

:21:27.:21:28.

helpful. APPLAUSE. Passionate about footwork.

:21:29.:21:34.

My heart has to reflect all that in my head. It is not a terrible mark.

:21:35.:21:39.

It is the semifinals after all. Thank you judges, one down, one to

:21:40.:21:43.

go. We'll see you later in the Charleston. Well done, off you go.

:21:44.:21:46.

Jay and Aliona! CHEERING. Jay and Aliona. Your

:21:47.:21:58.

expression when you received those comments is adorable, because you

:21:59.:22:02.

looked quite nervous but you want to take everything they say to heart?

:22:03.:22:07.

Yeah, we focus a lot on technique and performance. Everything they say

:22:08.:22:12.

we do want to apply. I don't reject any of it. I believe you preferred

:22:13.:22:17.

the Viennese waltz more than the Charleston? Yeah, I really enjoyed

:22:18.:22:23.

the romance. People think, oh your technique is good. But I'm not a

:22:24.:22:28.

robot, it is really difficult. I do make mistakes. I really wish my

:22:29.:22:33.

performance would be... See? No, we thought you were brilliant.

:22:34.:22:39.

APPLAUSE. It is hard. I was trying. The judges' scores are in.

:22:40.:22:56.

Are you alright? I was expecting a lot worse. Phew! You are edible.

:22:57.:23:06.

If you want those dance steps to get Jay one step closer to the final,

:23:07.:23:10.

call 6 22 52 14 from your mobile, 09015 22 52 14 from your landline

:23:11.:23:13.

Still to come, Anita has a baby grand piano, I just hope its parents

:23:14.:23:21.

Our next couple is Georgia May Foote and her partner, Giovanni Pernice.

:23:22.:23:29.

They're doing a cha-cha to the Gloria Gaynor classic

:23:30.:23:35.

"I Will Survive", but after they were in the Dance Off

:23:36.:23:37.

last week, the big question is - will they?

:23:38.:23:44.

Last week we opened the show and got a score of 36. But unfortunately we

:23:45.:23:53.

ended up in the dance-off. It's time to decide. It was horrible. Georgia

:23:54.:24:00.

and Giovanni. I'm really excited to be in the semifinal. I have had the

:24:01.:24:11.

best time. I don't want it to end. It's Monday morning and I've woken

:24:12.:24:15.

up with the sorest throat I have had. Time to see a doctor. You've

:24:16.:24:25.

got pharyngitis. We've started the cha-cha today. I'm finding it a

:24:26.:24:30.

little bit difficult. I wanted to give it the last push and everything

:24:31.:24:35.

I've got and I've got ill at the opponent when I need to do it, and I

:24:36.:24:38.

can't. The opponent when I need to do it, and I

:24:39.:24:42.

can't. -- when I needed to do it and I can't. It is a really difficult

:24:43.:24:47.

week but maybe this will help you. Good luck, Georgia. I hope you do

:24:48.:24:51.

good on the semifinals. All the best. Good luck with the show. You

:24:52.:24:56.

didn't deserve to be in the dance-off. Gorgeous. Team GG. It is

:24:57.:25:04.

amazing to think people have supported me so far. I didn't think

:25:05.:25:08.

people would pick up the phone to support me. Good luck, Georgia. I

:25:09.:25:13.

hope you win. You can't give up now. You can't.

:25:14.:25:15.

CHEERING. Dancing the cha-cha-cha,

:25:16.:25:17.

Georgia May Foote and Giovanni CHEERING. Oh, well done. Well done.

:25:18.:27:17.

Yes! What a comeback. Are you feeling better, my darling? Not

:27:18.:27:22.

really. You can't breathe now? Your throat, bless you. I know you've had

:27:23.:27:26.

little time to rehearse, so you've done rel well. Craig, what do you

:27:27.:27:31.

think? You were losing huff action on the straight leg just about all

:27:32.:27:36.

the way through, sadly. But I adored the number. The disco was fantastic.

:27:37.:27:40.

The storytelling, great. Darcey, what do you make of their cha-cha?

:27:41.:27:46.

Well, the energy was fabulous. I loved the cheeky attitude. There was

:27:47.:27:52.

this lovely connection all the way through and your playing off each

:27:53.:27:55.

other was really important. Craig's right, I think there could be a lot

:27:56.:27:59.

more straight leg action. When you've finished, get that straight

:28:00.:28:07.

leg, but basically the dance content, the performance value,

:28:08.:28:08.

amazing. APPLAUSE. Obviously it lacked a bit

:28:09.:28:14.

of polish, burr those forward locks are a tricky bit of business,

:28:15.:28:17.

because you've got to straighten them and as you close you have got

:28:18.:28:23.

to get hip action. The hip action wasn't, there but somebody who's had

:28:24.:28:26.

limited time, I thought you did great. Thank you.

:28:27.:28:30.

APPLAUSE. Did it make you feel like dancing? You would have to be dead

:28:31.:28:36.

not to! I'm all shaken and stored and ready for action, you sexy

:28:37.:28:42.

little thing. Disco diva fabulous. Wonderful feisty, sexy. Yeah,

:28:43.:28:46.

there's a tiny thing, I'm not going to repeat it again. What the point.

:28:47.:28:51.

I had a great time? Who cars? APPLAUSE. We had a great time with

:28:52.:28:56.

you. Thank you. That's your first dance done. We look forward to

:28:57.:29:00.

seeing your Viennese waltz later on. Have a rest. Georgia and Giovanni!

:29:01.:29:13.

CHEERING. Well done. You've had a very emotional week. Yes. And you've

:29:14.:29:17.

been ill. You are in the dance-off, you were in the dance-off. How are

:29:18.:29:22.

the nerves for everyone? Everyone is nervous this week. It is two dances,

:29:23.:29:27.

so the pressure's on. We finished our routine yesterday. And you've

:29:28.:29:31.

got the Viennese waltz coming. Which dance do you prefer? I love Latin

:29:32.:29:36.

and ballroom. I've always been more drawn to ballroom but I do love them

:29:37.:29:38.

both. Very well done. Still to come, Kellie and Kevin do a

:29:39.:30:22.

rumba and an American smooth, but not at the same time, I think. Who

:30:23.:30:24.

knows? Tess. Our next couple is Anita Rani

:30:25.:30:31.

and her partner, Gleb Savchenko. After being bottom of

:30:32.:30:33.

the Leader Board last week, Anita is determined to bounce back,

:30:34.:30:35.

and determination is something this Last Saturday was incredible. I

:30:36.:30:51.

thought I'd done it all right, until Craig at the Luke List later date.

:30:52.:30:56.

Your feet were flexed you, you have a tendency towards pigeon toes. 31,

:30:57.:31:01.

it put me at the bottom of the Leader Board. When they called my

:31:02.:31:06.

name out, I couldn't believe it. I'm doing two very different dances this

:31:07.:31:10.

week. My first dance is the beautiful foxtrot. Two dances in one

:31:11.:31:18.

week is so, so difficult. There's a floor spin that for some reason I

:31:19.:31:22.

just have a mental block about. It's not a natural thing for the body to

:31:23.:31:26.

do. It's scary when you have to drop your body. Stop. See? As soon as you

:31:27.:31:33.

do it a couple of times you overcome the fear. This week is tough but the

:31:34.:31:37.

thought people supporting me is pushing me through. I'd like to say

:31:38.:31:41.

good luck to Anita and Gleb. Good look neater and love the Gleb.

:31:42.:31:51.

You're doing amazing job on Strictly, good luck on Saturday.

:31:52.:31:54.

Thank you. To see real people saying Carreon boosted me. Good luck. Come

:31:55.:32:00.

on, Anita, take no notice of what Craig said, you can do it. Good

:32:01.:32:06.

luck, Anita. That's so nice! I'm dancing for every single person who

:32:07.:32:10.

is voting for me. I want them to go, oh, we really enjoyed that. I want

:32:11.:32:14.

to get out there and dance like I've never danced before.

:32:15.:32:17.

Dancing the foxtrot, Anita Rani and Gleb Savchenko.

:32:18.:32:24.

Brilliant reaction. From the audience. And what a fitting tribute

:32:25.:34:19.

on what would have been Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday. Deed. A

:34:20.:34:26.

beautiful foxtrot, your first dance is a semifinalist. How does it feel

:34:27.:34:31.

to be here? Amazing, it feels so good to be here. Darcey, what did

:34:32.:34:37.

you think? Are great in the style of the style -- understanding of the

:34:38.:34:40.

style. You had the quality to pull it off. On the top line you still

:34:41.:34:46.

sometimes get lost. You get sunk down. If you could keep pulling up,

:34:47.:34:51.

keep pulling up, don't let him take over. Just keep holding your own in

:34:52.:34:56.

the top line. But I have to say the extensions, everything, I could see

:34:57.:34:59.

you were thinking about, really lovely, well done.

:35:00.:35:02.

APPLAUSE Len, what did you think of the lot

:35:03.:35:08.

foxtrot? Once you got off the piano, you got in the hold, I thought the

:35:09.:35:14.

further step, he'll turn, all the things Isle of Dogs, and moving

:35:15.:35:16.

along swimmingly, and then, I don't know what happened but it went into

:35:17.:35:21.

an American Smooth version. You forgot all about staying in hold and

:35:22.:35:26.

being on hold, and virtually the last 50% became a bit of an American

:35:27.:35:36.

Smooth. BOOING The American Smooth you did was lovely however I was

:35:37.:35:40.

looking for the foxtrot. The start was great, the rest of it, not quite

:35:41.:35:45.

to my taste. But well done. APPLAUSE

:35:46.:35:50.

Bruno. Look at you, my darling, refined, refitted, and empowered.

:35:51.:35:53.

Now that's what I'm talking sometimes a connection with the

:35:54.:35:57.

music and the style, you got it right tonight. You were on it. You

:35:58.:36:01.

understood what this dam is required.

:36:02.:36:02.

APPLAUSE Not just as a dancer but as a

:36:03.:36:08.

performer. Sometimes I have been hard with you because I've is the

:36:09.:36:13.

intention and the flow, the night it had the flu, the intention was

:36:14.:36:16.

correct and you were participating beautifully. Times a bit of a

:36:17.:36:19.

problem with the top line but otherwise, my darling, I think it

:36:20.:36:25.

was wonderful. Thank you, Bruno. Craig, last week you gave them a

:36:26.:36:31.

very measly six. Were you more impressed tonight? Yes, slightly. I

:36:32.:36:35.

liked your foxtrot stuff, I just worry when you do go into American

:36:36.:36:41.

Smooth stuff and you start using your legs and extending them, every

:36:42.:36:45.

time you go into an extension it seems like you are not fully

:36:46.:36:49.

extending the lead, like on the piano, in the layout turnaround

:36:50.:36:54.

here, and in fact, Gleb, I would have cut all of those hand-held and

:36:55.:36:58.

being foxtrot to be honest, because I think that let you down. It lets

:36:59.:37:02.

the line down of the whole thing and if you can't do it then don't do it

:37:03.:37:07.

what my advice is. I loved it, I thought it was beautiful.

:37:08.:37:13.

APPLAUSE There's still one more dance,

:37:14.:37:16.

everything to play for, you have the sulphur coming up next. Absolutely,

:37:17.:37:19.

yes. Off you go, Anita and Gleb. That is so interesting, Craig says

:37:20.:37:36.

do this, don't do that, and ends with, but I loved it. You have

:37:37.:37:41.

trained so hard, you were so moved that the public saved you, so you

:37:42.:37:45.

want to do everything correctly, didn't you? I really didn't I was

:37:46.:37:49.

thinking about my feet, pointing my toes, every week I think about

:37:50.:37:52.

something else, there's something new for me to take on board.

:37:53.:37:58.

Everything that judge -- judges say is good advice. The dance on Frank

:37:59.:38:02.

Sinatra's birthday to New York, brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The

:38:03.:38:07.

scores are in. The judges have their scores.

:38:08.:38:21.

Nine! To vote for Anita and Gleb, please call...

:38:22.:38:41.

The vote opens when all the couples have danced twice. Still to come,

:38:42.:38:48.

Katie is dancing to an aria from an opera. It is not from the one about

:38:49.:38:50.

an ice cream, I'm lost. Our next semifinalists

:38:51.:38:54.

are Kellie Bright and her partner, Their first dance tonight

:38:55.:38:56.

is the dance of love, but they can't get too

:38:57.:38:59.

starry eyed about it, because with a place

:39:00.:39:01.

in the final up for grabs, there's an awful lot

:39:02.:39:03.

riding on this rumba. Last weekend, I loved our routine.

:39:04.:39:17.

Not elegant, had absolutely no class. I had completely bought into

:39:18.:39:21.

the fact that he thought it was going to be awful. I loved it. So

:39:22.:39:27.

when he said he loved it I was over the moon. We were expecting the

:39:28.:39:34.

light to go red, no doubt about it. Kellie and Kevin. We were shocked.

:39:35.:39:39.

We were shocked. The Rumba is the dance of love. Do you know what I

:39:40.:39:46.

mean? We've come to a dance where we have to be very intense, even the

:39:47.:39:49.

mention of the word, she starts laughing. Do you know what, the

:39:50.:39:55.

whole thing about doing Strictly is you just have to let go, all right,

:39:56.:39:59.

Sheikh off those inhibitions and go with it. I've got something to show

:40:00.:40:06.

you. OK. I'm rooting for Kevin and Kellie. Go, team Eastenders. I've

:40:07.:40:11.

been watching Strictly since you were little -- I was little and you

:40:12.:40:15.

bring it to life for me. Get into the final and let let's win this,

:40:16.:40:20.

yes. Good luck with the semifinal. We will cheer for you. It's really

:40:21.:40:28.

lovely. It means ever so much. Up until now Kevin and I have done a

:40:29.:40:31.

lot of fun, entertaining numbers, which we love, but the Rumba is a

:40:32.:40:34.

whole different level. I just hope that we've done enough work and have

:40:35.:40:39.

enough time to make it the best it can be on Saturday.

:40:40.:40:42.

Dancing the rumba, Kellie Bright and Kevin

:40:43.:40:44.

Chery-macro you were brilliant. -- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:40:45.:42:40.

. The Rumba, Kellie and Kevin, come over, darling. You are getting

:42:41.:42:47.

romantic. And all these people watching more your friend. Rumbas

:42:48.:42:58.

have been a bit like Marmite for you, Lynne, what did you think? Was

:42:59.:43:04.

like a pickled walnut and I like them. There were so many elements

:43:05.:43:07.

Isle of Dogs, there was the spiral, to have the nerve in a semifinal to

:43:08.:43:14.

do a forward and back basic and fully settle into your hip, no

:43:15.:43:19.

wiggling your bum and everyone whooping, no, proper proper, lovely

:43:20.:43:26.

light and shade, slow, and then out again, lyrical movement, I have put

:43:27.:43:31.

down perfect mix of steps. There was a wobble and I wished they hadn't

:43:32.:43:37.

been there because without that I was struggling to find anything I

:43:38.:43:43.

didn't like. A shame. A little wobble, just tiny. Their heels.

:43:44.:43:48.

Otherwise he thought it was perfect. Bruno. Prim, proper and correct,

:43:49.:43:53.

your mother would approve. You had the right sentiment. It was a

:43:54.:43:58.

question of taste, like a brother and sister dance. It was beautifully

:43:59.:44:08.

done. You must balance on that extension -- you lost balance. Some

:44:09.:44:13.

of the side ones, the arms, could have been more stretched, but again,

:44:14.:44:17.

the content was fantastic apart from that slight mistake. It was a very

:44:18.:44:22.

good performance. I like it a bit hotter, that's all. We know you do,

:44:23.:44:29.

Bruno. Craig, was that Rumba rousing enough for you? I can tell you have

:44:30.:44:34.

worked a lot on that dance, I really can. Technically I thought it was

:44:35.:44:39.

absolutely brilliant and I'm with Len, almost perfect, darling. Almost

:44:40.:44:47.

perfect. Almost, Craig! Darcey, that was the last of our first dances.

:44:48.:44:53.

How did they do? I wasn't expecting that. You have worked hard. I could

:44:54.:44:58.

see you trying to fill that moves it out, lyrical, pulling out stretching

:44:59.:45:03.

every limb you did, you caressed the floor, you did a very good job, it

:45:04.:45:08.

was a shame there was one moment but it shows you how difficult this

:45:09.:45:11.

dance is. I would have loved a bit more chemistry but overall,

:45:12.:45:20.

fabulous. Well done. CHEERING. Her husband is watching

:45:21.:45:26.

over there. I've got high hopes for you two in the American smooth

:45:27.:45:32.

later. Can't wait to see you. Kellie and Kevin!

:45:33.:45:38.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. I'm so annoyed with myself. The male pros

:45:39.:45:51.

are kneeling for you. They said beautiful, almost perfect. I thought

:45:52.:45:55.

you were going to cry then. I'm so annoyed with myself. No, don't be.

:45:56.:46:00.

You've worked really hard and you are one of the few people on the

:46:01.:46:05.

planet who enjoyed the rumba. I did. I like learning something new. It

:46:06.:46:08.

was so challenging, this dance. I know. It is so difficult. Well, I

:46:09.:46:12.

think it's difficult. Of course it is. The scores are in.

:46:13.:46:32.

CHEERING. Very well done. They are shouting, undermarked.

:46:33.:46:49.

All our couples are danced once, which means we've reached the

:46:50.:46:55.

halfway point in our semifinal. Let's look at the leaderboard.

:46:56.:46:59.

Currently at the top, sharing the top spot, Jay and Kellie with a

:47:00.:47:02.

score of 34. CHEERING. And down at the bottom,

:47:03.:47:08.

Katie and Anton with a score of 25. But our couples still have one more

:47:09.:47:12.

routine to professional tonight so the leaderboard could be turned on

:47:13.:47:17.

its head. Voting lines won't open until all our couples have performed

:47:18.:47:22.

twice. We still have all of this to come. What I know about the Viennese

:47:23.:47:29.

waltz is it can make awe very dizzy. Lots of spins. Very, very dizzy.

:47:30.:47:34.

Lifts are really difficult. They injury you, they bruise you. You

:47:35.:47:39.

need to jump. They challenge you mentally. There's a lot going on.

:47:40.:47:45.

There's been a lot of show-stopping Charlestons so far, so we've got to

:47:46.:47:50.

make ours as good as it can be. Anton says he talks to me as if I

:47:51.:47:57.

were a dancer. That was an amazing transformation. I'm touched that he

:47:58.:48:01.

said that, buts pressure too. It is all about keeping that top line,

:48:02.:48:06.

looking like you are doing nothing from the waist up while everything

:48:07.:48:10.

is happening down below. CHEERING. I'm really looking forward

:48:11.:48:16.

to seeing Jay as Doctor Who. He will be time travelling in this daredis.

:48:17.:48:22.

I'm going to borrow it for a minute. Oh, hello! It's time to welcome back

:48:23.:48:28.

Katie Derham and her partner, Anton Du Beke.

:48:29.:48:28.

CHEERING. During this competition Katie has

:48:29.:48:37.

had a few tricky weeks when she's But here she is, just one week

:48:38.:48:39.

away from the final. Tess? I have some information. I've

:48:40.:48:53.

been to the future and it turns out the dolphins are in charge.

:48:54.:48:56.

LAUGHTER. May I suggest you get one of these and learn to do this?

:48:57.:49:08.

Imitates a dolphin. Katie, what a class act. As an old dance teacher

:49:09.:49:13.

once said to me, it is not the best dancer but the one that looks the

:49:14.:49:18.

best. And you've got to say, on ballroom she looks cracking. Don't

:49:19.:49:21.

forget she topped the liked with that Viennese waltz. I wasn't

:49:22.:49:25.

expecting anything that beautiful. It wasn't only beautiful, it had

:49:26.:49:29.

attack as well. Look at that rotation. Blackpool, the American

:49:30.:49:35.

smooth. Oh, Len. It was joyful. Really dazzling. That's your best

:49:36.:49:41.

dance, so question. She does look so confident in Anton's hands. I'm

:49:42.:49:44.

really pleased that Anton has got this far in the competition. He's

:49:45.:49:48.

got somebody he can work with and really shine. The problem is though

:49:49.:49:53.

when she is left to her own devices... Her paso went horribly

:49:54.:49:59.

wrong out of his arms. She is really weak at the Latin. Her biggest

:50:00.:50:04.

weakness is, there is virtually a dance where she hasn't made a

:50:05.:50:08.

mistake. What a pity. Shame about the stumble. This is the highest

:50:09.:50:14.

standard semifinal ever. This is the Viennese waltz, it could be the star

:50:15.:50:20.

vehicle for her. All she has got to do is not make any mistake. I think

:50:21.:50:27.

the waltz could be her best dance. Anti-is ramping the the detail and

:50:28.:50:32.

the level of choreography. There's a certain expectation for Katie and

:50:33.:50:35.

the ballroom dance. You're in a semifinal, come online. She's been

:50:36.:50:39.

so much stronger in the ballroom dances. This is the semifinal.

:50:40.:50:44.

Everything just has to be just so. Don't turn your head. There is no

:50:45.:50:48.

margin error. CHEERING.

:50:49.:51:11.

You certainly impressed the audience. It's your last chance to

:51:12.:52:50.

impress this little lot. The judges. Let's find out what they thought.

:52:51.:52:57.

Bruno in To capture the power, the beauty of Puccini's divine music

:52:58.:53:01.

through dance is a really tall order. You are aiming to the

:53:02.:53:06.

artistic stratosphere. It is very, very difficult, because the phrasing

:53:07.:53:10.

and the emotion you have to portray as you dance this, it has to be

:53:11.:53:17.

perfect, and it wasn't, my darling. You were throwing away your arms,

:53:18.:53:23.

moments of imbalance, you lost the arch of your back. Listen, I'm

:53:24.:53:30.

Italian, Puccini is God me. Everything pops to my eyes. When you

:53:31.:53:33.

approach something of that level of perfection which is a work of

:53:34.:53:38.

genius, you have to live up to it. You know, you aimed high, you didn't

:53:39.:53:41.

quite get there. AUDIENCE BOOING. Sorry. Craig, you

:53:42.:53:47.

scored their Charleston a 4. Surely you thought this was better? Yes, I

:53:48.:53:51.

totally disagree with Bruno. CHEERING. I couldn't disagree more.

:53:52.:53:59.

I really enjoyed it and I thought you redeemed yourself in this. There

:54:00.:54:04.

was a slight balance issue where you had to pinch Anton's arm a little. I

:54:05.:54:09.

saw that. You put a little bit of your weight on him, but well done.

:54:10.:54:16.

CHEERING. Darcey, is Katie a contender? Well, you did such a

:54:17.:54:21.

better job on this, well done. You have done wonders with your

:54:22.:54:25.

ballroom. I have to say, we are getting picky here, as I've said.

:54:26.:54:30.

But the only thing that the dance, the transitions, the changes that

:54:31.:54:33.

you created were really good. You did control it. The only thing is

:54:34.:54:37.

you do become a little bit upright in your top line. I would loved you

:54:38.:54:43.

to have been more daring and to have leaned out and trusted your partner,

:54:44.:54:48.

but overall a lovely dance. CHEERING. Len, you were hoping that

:54:49.:54:52.

waltz would be better. Was it? Well, in a world of glitz and razzmatazz

:54:53.:54:58.

it is nice to see something that's just quiet and understated.

:54:59.:55:04.

APPLAUSE. Now, the thing is, the waltz is so slow and you need great

:55:05.:55:12.

control. Unfortunately, and... AUDIENCE BOOING. Look, over there

:55:13.:55:19.

you circled and went into a whisk. Somehow you got on the wrong foot

:55:20.:55:24.

and that created not just a mistake over there with the whisk but the

:55:25.:55:29.

next section. There were lots of... This is breaking my heart, please

:55:30.:55:33.

believe me. I know it's breaking yours, but it was just unstable and

:55:34.:55:38.

I've got to say that. I'm sorry. AUDIENCE BOOING. Well... You can

:55:39.:55:46.

always judge what you see. That's their opinion. You have done all

:55:47.:55:50.

that you can and it is out of your hands. Go and get your scores. Katie

:55:51.:55:59.

and Anton. I'm so sorry. Don't be. Well done.

:56:00.:56:08.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Let's focus on Craig, because Craig loved it and

:56:09.:56:13.

he doesn't like much. I've always liked that Craig, you know. Was it

:56:14.:56:18.

nice to be back in hold after the Charleston? Yeah, I've said it

:56:19.:56:25.

before and it is probably making me sound boring but I have loved every

:56:26.:56:29.

minute, I have loved dancing with Anton. I could kick myself when I

:56:30.:56:35.

make mistakes and spoil it for you. You don't spoil it for me. It is

:56:36.:56:40.

still a joy for me. I'm not interested in what goes on down

:56:41.:56:44.

below anyway. I like what's up top! LAUGHTER. That's Anton.

:56:45.:56:57.

That's higher than the Charleston. Should have had more smoke, up to

:56:58.:57:12.

our next, I Back for their second dance,

:57:13.:57:26.

are Jay McGuiness and his partner Early on in the series Jay really

:57:27.:58:02.

set the bar with that jive, then after a few weeks

:58:03.:58:06.

in the doldrums he got himself back But has it been enough to grab

:58:07.:58:09.

a place in the final? I never get sick of his technique.

:58:10.:58:23.

He's precise. The driving week three was extraordinary. For someone to

:58:24.:58:27.

have that much presence, that much style, he was great. It was his feet

:58:28.:58:33.

and legs, incredible. The sharpness of that. I gave him the first time

:58:34.:58:41.

on that jive, which for me is one of the best drives ever. But then what

:58:42.:58:45.

was ridiculous, the following week, how he messed it up! That was a one

:58:46.:58:51.

off. My biggest problem with Jay facial expression. All he has got to

:58:52.:58:58.

do to get to the final, I think, it is a bit more face. He's got to

:58:59.:59:03.

think about exaggerating so that we notice. When you have fun dance, you

:59:04.:59:07.

want to see fun coming out. This week he's doing a charleston. You

:59:08.:59:12.

have to come out and threw caution to the wind. It's about being

:59:13.:59:20.

naughty, being in a party, being in the action. Comedy, goofiness,

:59:21.:59:24.

slapstick. He will have to pull out all the stops. Aliona is making sure

:59:25.:59:28.

I look forward, reminding me to stop performing outwards so by the time

:59:29.:59:35.

Saturday comes it's in my body. Eyes up. This is an opportunity for me to

:59:36.:59:40.

show I can sell a dance so now I can't wait to get out there and

:59:41.:59:42.

enjoy doing it. Dancing the charleston,

:59:43.:59:45.

Jay McGuiness and Aliona Vilani. Chery-macro --

:59:46.:01:40.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That was out of this world. That was

:01:41.:01:49.

just what the doctor ordered. Brilliant. Listen to that crowd. So,

:01:50.:02:01.

Craig... I can't hear anything! Enjoy that, you have earned it.

:02:02.:02:07.

Let's ask Craig, shall we? Did you get that smile you wanted in the

:02:08.:02:12.

charleston, Craig? Jay, that was brilliant.

:02:13.:02:23.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes, look who's smiling now. I'm

:02:24.:02:28.

smiling, I didn't know whether you meant to drop Aliona.

:02:29.:02:33.

LAUGHTER I don't know if it was a style

:02:34.:02:36.

choice. Anyway. LAUGHTER

:02:37.:02:43.

That was a yes, Craig. Darcey? It was, it was energetic, allies, full

:02:44.:02:48.

of style. I loved the use of the accents in the music. You really

:02:49.:02:52.

defined all those and that was really special.

:02:53.:02:54.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes, that was awed at the end, but

:02:55.:03:02.

you recovered well. You picked her up, flung her around and got back in

:03:03.:03:08.

the box. I loved it, well done. Glen Moore pro, he's the last boy

:03:09.:03:13.

standing in the ballroom, how did he do? -- Len. What I loved you didn't

:03:14.:03:18.

appear to be under pressure. You came out confidence, it was a walk

:03:19.:03:22.

in the park. You just got on with it. It. It was a fantastic routine,

:03:23.:03:27.

well done to both of you. Lovely. He loved it. Is it going to be four out

:03:28.:03:33.

of four, Bruno? Exhilarate, exhilarate, the doctor dance the

:03:34.:03:42.

storm. I thought it was intentional. It made me laugh. I thought it was

:03:43.:03:49.

meant to be. It was. Thank you very much, they loved it and it's so nice

:03:50.:03:54.

to see that cheeky smile on your little face again. Off you go, was

:03:55.:04:02.

not brilliant? Jay and Aliona. -- wasn't that brilliant.

:04:03.:04:03.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Very well done. The audience loved

:04:04.:04:16.

it, so did Craig. When he said Jay, then there was applause, I was like

:04:17.:04:22.

oh my goodness. You must have loved that? I really enjoyed it. It was

:04:23.:04:28.

cool, the charleston is cool. Who knew? It is when you do it. The

:04:29.:04:33.

scores are in. It's time to get the scores from judges.

:04:34.:04:46.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE If you want to see Jade travel to

:04:47.:04:55.

next week's final, call... Still to come, Anita dances to a

:04:56.:05:11.

song by somebody called Pit bull, I don't know if it's not the real name

:05:12.:05:14.

but nice to meet you. Dancing next in the semifinal

:05:15.:05:17.

is Georgia May Foote and her partner They spent three weeks at the top

:05:18.:05:20.

of the Leader Board and yet last The competition this year really

:05:21.:05:24.

is that unpredictable. Let's see if the judges think

:05:25.:05:28.

they've got what it takes to get Georgia, beloved her. She is for me

:05:29.:05:47.

a great all-round competitor. She is. Ballroom and Latin, it doesn't

:05:48.:05:52.

matter, her charleston, brilliant. That particular dance gave her the

:05:53.:05:55.

confidence that she needed for all of the ballroom stuff. Her American

:05:56.:06:02.

Smooth, incredible. I can really see how this little girl that started a

:06:03.:06:07.

little bit shy and retiring has really become a fantastic dancer. A

:06:08.:06:11.

performances -- her performances are getting stronger and stronger, not

:06:12.:06:16.

just technically but as a character. She's mature to this beautiful lady.

:06:17.:06:21.

She does have weaknesses and we can't deny that. The shoulders tend

:06:22.:06:27.

to rise up, she loses her neck. The moment you lose your topline it

:06:28.:06:31.

spoils the picture. It was so good but once she starts going like that,

:06:32.:06:35.

the line goes. What Georgia needs to get to the final is not to raise

:06:36.:06:43.

those shoulders, continue a long, lovely, Lilia neck. You are going to

:06:44.:06:49.

be gorgeous in the Viennese waltz. There's no reason she can't achieve

:06:50.:06:53.

everything we need to see. She is developing into a beautiful dancer.

:06:54.:06:57.

This is our ballroom dance before the final, so we had to impress the

:06:58.:07:02.

judges. I think the judges will be looking for solidity in the dams and

:07:03.:07:05.

also watching my shoulders and posture, we're down to the finest

:07:06.:07:11.

details now. It's the last push before the finals. So we have to get

:07:12.:07:13.

this Viennese waltz perfect. Dancing the Viennese waltz,

:07:14.:07:17.

Georgia May Foote and Giovanni Well done, Georgia and Giovanni. The

:07:18.:09:12.

reaction from the audience... Back in the game. Come on. They are

:09:13.:09:17.

dancing for a place in the final. Darcey, did they win you over? You

:09:18.:09:21.

are a breath of fresh air. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:09:22.:09:27.

I have to say, with all those terms, with all of that, how you controlled

:09:28.:09:32.

it, you still kept that frame. That was beautiful. You didn't muffle at

:09:33.:09:40.

all -- buckle at all. It was smooth gliding transitions, it was

:09:41.:09:52.

exquisite. When Q. -- thank you. Len, has she proved herself in the

:09:53.:09:58.

ballroom tonight? Certainly, it was full of content, rotation, lyrical

:09:59.:10:00.

movement and I'm full of admiration. Well done. It doesn't get better

:10:01.:10:06.

than that, does it? Bruno, he looks happy. My darling, look at you two,

:10:07.:10:12.

adorable sweethearts, swept away by the whirlwind of romance. Totally

:10:13.:10:20.

believable. As a Viennese waltz, right on the money, honey.

:10:21.:10:26.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE If you are back tomorrow when the

:10:27.:10:31.

Dance Off, I'm going to have to do it in speedos. Fantastic. Thank you,

:10:32.:10:38.

Bruno. And Craig, what did you think? I have to be honest, I could

:10:39.:10:41.

watch you dance all night were gorgeous.

:10:42.:10:45.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Wonderful. Down to the finishing

:10:46.:10:55.

line, the judges liked it. Thank you. See you later, go and get your

:10:56.:10:59.

scores. Georgia and Giovanni. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:11:00.:11:10.

So happy, aren't you? Did we mention before you were ill, you didn't

:11:11.:11:18.

train a lot. I have to mention your boyfriend, who was standing alone

:11:19.:11:21.

manically clapping. It was adorable. There he is. Darcey was talking, you

:11:22.:11:29.

must be incredibly proud, your whole family. Did you like that more? I

:11:30.:11:34.

liked both of them but I felt more comfortable in ballroom because I

:11:35.:11:37.

think it's because I was watching videos of Joanne Clifton. I didn't

:11:38.:11:42.

totally understand what you said. The scores are in. Ladies and

:11:43.:11:46.

gentlemen, the judges have their scores.

:11:47.:11:54.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That's the highest score of the

:11:55.:12:18.

night. Thank you so much. If you'd like to see Georgia and Giovanni in

:12:19.:12:19.

next week's final, call... Are you crying? Or some! -- all

:12:20.:12:35.

some. Still to come, Kellie is Ginger, from the 1930s. I've got

:12:36.:12:38.

some of that in the back of my kitchen cupboard. Tess.

:12:39.:12:41.

Dancing next is Anita Rani and her partner, Gleb Savchenko.

:12:42.:12:43.

During this competition Anita has been both top and bottom

:12:44.:12:46.

Can she find the consistency required to make it

:12:47.:12:49.

Anita, really, this is the story of determination, hard work, it really

:12:50.:13:07.

shows that when you apply yourself you get results. She's been a

:13:08.:13:11.

revelation. She's taken every risk, she has gone forehead. Anita has

:13:12.:13:16.

improved the most. If you look at her at the beginning and now, she's

:13:17.:13:20.

become a caterpillar into a butterfly. She comes from a very

:13:21.:13:24.

intellectual approach, she listens, looks and learns and takes it on

:13:25.:13:33.

board and grows as a dancer. Samba, weak four, such a difficult dams and

:13:34.:13:36.

it shows you the elements of control. A couple of times you got a

:13:37.:13:39.

bit tangled. We suddenly saw she wasn't a natural dancer. Her

:13:40.:13:44.

weaknesses are her feet. She is very picked -- pigeon toed, her footwork

:13:45.:13:49.

doesn't always come together. Her strengths outshine her weaknesses.

:13:50.:13:55.

Like Robin look at the paso doble, she was becoming the character, pure

:13:56.:14:01.

theatre. This week, she is doing the salsa. What we want to expect is a

:14:02.:14:07.

bit of those guts that she has. She needs to concentrate wholeheartedly

:14:08.:14:11.

on her footwork. It's a fun dance, you have to come out and have fun,

:14:12.:14:15.

look as though you're in some club and you are out there shaking and

:14:16.:14:21.

baking. The salsa could well be our most difficult routine Soviets. I

:14:22.:14:25.

can't remember the steps. There's so much going on, a lot to learn,

:14:26.:14:29.

lifts, flips, it's hard, it's really tough. You need to put energy into

:14:30.:14:34.

it. This salsa could be the difference between me making it to

:14:35.:14:36.

the final, or not. Dancing the salsa, Anita Rani

:14:37.:14:38.

and Gleb Savchenko. We've all got our arms up in the air

:14:39.:16:42.

after that! Wow! You pulled out all the stops for the semifinal. Those

:16:43.:16:46.

lifts are amazing. You are so brave. Are you still allergic to buttons,

:16:47.:16:52.

Gleb? He gets very hot. He certainly does. Len, they threw everything

:16:53.:16:58.

into it. They did. Dance is a balance. So if you do too much of

:16:59.:17:03.

one thing, you lose a bit of something else. Now this was...

:17:04.:17:10.

AUDIENCE BOOING. Why are you booing that, it was true. This was

:17:11.:17:15.

athletic, full on. Plenty of attack. However, you lost a little bit of

:17:16.:17:19.

the salsa rhythm and the juice of the dance, so as much as I admired

:17:20.:17:25.

your athleticism, I would have liked a little bit more salsa rhythm going

:17:26.:17:28.

through. OK. AUDIENCE BOOING. Did that get you

:17:29.:17:35.

raving, Bruno from I feel like a cheerleader. She was thrown into

:17:36.:17:40.

places and positions where under any other circumstances you can get

:17:41.:17:44.

arrested for, you know. I don't think it is actually legal, but I

:17:45.:17:49.

appreciate everything you did. But because of the speed you had some

:17:50.:17:55.

shaky moments and you lost the fluidity of the salsa. Salsa is a

:17:56.:17:59.

fluid dance but I really enjoyed this. I really did.

:18:00.:18:04.

APPLAUSE. And it was packed with armography. You were certainly one

:18:05.:18:08.

brave woman, I can say that. CHEERING. It was like watching the

:18:09.:18:13.

Olympics, darling, rather than the salsa. But strangely I really

:18:14.:18:18.

enjoyed that. CHEERING. Darcey? How... I was going

:18:19.:18:31.

to be rude then. How did you learn all of that dance in one week, with

:18:32.:18:34.

another dance as well? The complexity. Oh my God, you are so

:18:35.:18:41.

daring. Most ladies would have cut half of that out. I'm so impressed.

:18:42.:18:47.

It is a shame the speed was so fast that in a way the guys were right,

:18:48.:18:52.

you were losing some of that salsa technique, but phenomenal.

:18:53.:18:58.

CHEERING. Really. Phenomenal. A total crowd pleaser. We all loved

:18:59.:19:04.

it. Go and have a rest. Anita and Gleb!

:19:05.:19:11.

CHEERING. Wonderful. Wooh! Anita, that was extraordinary! That was

:19:12.:19:15.

more like a show dance. Craig said it was like the Olympics. Those

:19:16.:19:21.

lifts. Were you not scared? No time for fear. And I have no choice, by

:19:22.:19:28.

the way. No, of course, look at him, Ricky Martin, I mean Gleb.

:19:29.:19:43.

Are you happy with that? Very happy. Well done. You are so brave. If you

:19:44.:19:53.

don't want Anita to go back to Countryfile just yet, and it is cold

:19:54.:19:56.

and wet out there, please call: The vote will open after all our

:19:57.:20:08.

couples have danced twice. For lots of behind the scenes news and

:20:09.:20:15.

gossip, go to Facebook or Twitter or our website. Tess.

:20:16.:20:18.

Our final couple to take to the floor again is Kellie Bright

:20:19.:20:21.

Kellie has had a topsy-turvy series, she's been first on the Leader Board

:20:22.:20:29.

but she's also been in a couple of Dance Offs.

:20:30.:20:32.

With the competition so close no one is guaranteed a place in the final.

:20:33.:20:35.

Let's see what the judges think of Kellie's chances.

:20:36.:20:42.

Kellie Bright is just right in my world. Absolutely. All over, with

:20:43.:20:48.

everything from the Latin to the ballroom... She doesn't hold back

:20:49.:20:52.

and her characterisations I think are brilliant. You've got the

:20:53.:20:55.

character of the dance. It was great. Her acting skills are really

:20:56.:21:01.

shining in every performance. Yes. The only thing that let's her down

:21:02.:21:06.

is her top line. Only in ballroom. Trying to keep those extensions and

:21:07.:21:13.

trying to stretch that back. You can file that under B for brilliant.

:21:14.:21:17.

Everything came together for her. I loved it. This week she's going to

:21:18.:21:21.

do the American smooth. She has all the elements to make it

:21:22.:21:26.

unforgettable. I think we might have some problems with the lifts. She

:21:27.:21:30.

throws so much energy and effort into the lifts, she has to rely on

:21:31.:21:37.

Kevin. The beauty about Kellie is she is really brilliant out of hold.

:21:38.:21:41.

Side by side. Very confident. I love it. It is going to be one of the

:21:42.:21:48.

best moments of my life. I'm so excited about the American smooth. I

:21:49.:21:53.

get to wear a ball gown. Yes! As soon as I started showing her the

:21:54.:21:59.

routine her face lit up. I love it already. Kevin has thrown everything

:22:00.:22:07.

into it. It's got turns, it's got lifts, lots of fast footwork. On on

:22:08.:22:13.

top of this it has to look effortless, but let me tell you, it

:22:14.:22:16.

definitely isn't. It means a lot to be able to do this number. I just, I

:22:17.:22:20.

can't wait. Dancing the American Smooth,

:22:21.:22:22.

Kellie Bright and Kevin Clifton. MUSIC: Let's Face

:22:23.:22:27.

The Music And Dance. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Oh, gorgeous.

:22:28.:24:21.

Magical. Beautiful. The last dance of the night. Your lance chance to

:24:22.:24:27.

impress the judges. You have faced the music, now it is time to face

:24:28.:24:34.

this lot. Fred Astaire and ginger Rogers' legacy is alive and well. I

:24:35.:24:38.

love the cross-reference of all the moves. I can see you picked the

:24:39.:24:43.

steps from the collection of their films from the round jumps to the

:24:44.:24:47.

last position. Even to the little looks. I find those things

:24:48.:24:52.

absolutely delicious. CHEERING. Delicious! Craig, would

:24:53.:25:03.

they have done Fred and Ginger proud? That was a classic, darling.

:25:04.:25:08.

A classic American smooth. I thought you danced it absolutely

:25:09.:25:13.

beautifully. I really do. It is a little bit of a shame about the end,

:25:14.:25:18.

you came down a little late with that final butch, because that would

:25:19.:25:22.

have set the whole thing off beautifully. Darcey? It was. It had

:25:23.:25:32.

glamour, flair, all the Hollywood quality we wanted. Those four fan

:25:33.:25:36.

lifts, and then you were side by side all the way down. That was

:25:37.:25:40.

Heaven, really. You've done it. You really have.

:25:41.:25:47.

APPLAUSE. You've done it! Len, you loved their rum rumba. Did you love

:25:48.:25:58.

their morning smooth? Tonight is all about who deserves to get to the

:25:59.:26:04.

final. 100%, if you're not there... Well.

:26:05.:26:08.

CHEERING. He believes you should be. Let's see where it leaves you on the

:26:09.:26:12.

leaderboard. Thank you so much. Off you go. A beautiful job. Kellie and

:26:13.:26:25.

Kevin. Come on. CHEERING. Well done you two. You

:26:26.:26:34.

know what's so sweet? For 13 weeks, you said, I would like a princess

:26:35.:26:39.

dress and an American smooth. Yes please, I would like one. I loved

:26:40.:26:43.

it. I had the best time doing this dance. This is a dream come true. I

:26:44.:26:51.

know. You've been working so hard. EastEnders from 7.00am and training

:26:52.:26:54.

until midnight. This week has been so hard. What do you think of this

:26:55.:27:02.

girl's attitude? She's the hardest working girlive ever met. I'm the

:27:03.:27:07.

one who says I'm tired. She never says it. She's worked so hard. I'm

:27:08.:27:11.

so proud of her. CHEERING. From Len, a 10. And here

:27:12.:27:37.

we go, a 10! CHEERING. That's the highest score

:27:38.:27:45.

of the competition. So well done. Very well done. Thank you! If you

:27:46.:27:53.

don't want them in the dance-off, please call..

:27:54.:28:09.

Up at the top we've just seen them, Kellie and Kevin with a score of

:28:10.:28:17.

3673. Down at the bottom are Katie and Anton, with a score of 56. But

:28:18.:28:22.

you of course can change all of that. You are voting for your

:28:23.:28:30.

Strictly Come Dancing 2015 finalist. Things have within getting a little

:28:31.:28:34.

out of control up here in the last few weeks. We need to conduct

:28:35.:28:40.

ourselves in a professional manner. Dave Arch, in you come.

:28:41.:28:44.

CHEERING. Would you mind... You do the honours. I can announce that the

:28:45.:28:49.

voting is now open. CHEERING.

:28:50.:29:15.

Our stars have danced their heart out, not once, but twice tonight and

:29:16.:32:10.

are desperate to stay in the competition. Here is why it means so

:32:11.:32:14.

much to them. Now that we are here there is just that one hurdle left

:32:15.:32:19.

between us and the final. I really, really truly don't want to see it

:32:20.:32:24.

ends this week. Standing under the spotlight, wondering if you're going

:32:25.:32:27.

to be the Dance Off and going home, is very nerve wracking. Puttering

:32:28.:32:37.

feeling. Please say my name and not in the Dance Off. You are clinging

:32:38.:32:40.

on to your partner, you have no idea what's about to happen. Kellie and

:32:41.:32:45.

Kevin. They're in the Dance Off. Then you are safe. Georgia and

:32:46.:32:53.

Giovanni. It's like the biggest sigh of relief. In the general scheme of

:32:54.:32:58.

things it shouldn't matter but right now so pleasing. Just get over that

:32:59.:33:03.

final hurdle, would be unbelievable. Incredible. Immense. It would be

:33:04.:33:09.

fantastic. I've learned so much, I don't want it to.

:33:10.:33:11.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The vote closes at 8.55 tonight,

:33:12.:33:13.

so you don't have much longer Your votes will help to decide

:33:14.:33:16.

who will make it to next week's grand final and who will fall

:33:17.:33:20.

at the final hurdle. The competition is so close -

:33:21.:33:22.

no-one is safe and, as we found out last week, any of our couples

:33:23.:33:26.

could end up in the Dance Off. Find out who it will be in tomorrow

:33:27.:33:29.

night's results show at 7.20pm. Also on tomorrow's show

:33:30.:33:33.

we have an amazing group routine from our professional dancers,

:33:34.:33:35.

and the Queen of Pop, Kylie Minogue, will be singing

:33:36.:33:38.

"I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter". We'll see you at 7.20 tomorrow night

:33:39.:33:46.

to find out which of our stars will be dancing in the final

:33:47.:33:50.

and who will be in the Dance Off.
