Week 12 Results Strictly Come Dancing

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

This is Strictly Come Dancing: The Results. Please welcome your hosts;

Tess Daley and Claudia Winkleman! Hello and welcome to the semi-final

results show. Thank you to our brilliant professionals for a truly

moving routine. On Saturday night the five semi-finalists gave it

their all. We saw ten routines which had the judges reaching for their

tens except Craig. He must be saving his for the final. With only four

places available in next week's Grand Final, one couple must leave

tonight. The judges have score and you have voted. The two couples with

the lowest overall points will face each other in the last dance-off of

the series. The decision of who to send through is down to four people

all guaranteed a place in the final next week. It's the judges.

Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli. And Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey

Bussell. APPLAUSE

Thank you, judges. Kylie Minogue is here getting us in

the mood for Christmas. The judges will be taking a look at the double

dances in Len's Lens. We are moments away from revealing the first couple

who must dance again. But first the action from Saturday night's

semi-final. Hello, darlings, it's the

semi-final. They are dancing twice tonight and that's doubled the

chance of them falling at the final hurdle. Trying not to let it get to

me. It's really tough this time. Everybody is sensational. See them

all practising and I'm look, whoa. It's pressure. Extra pressure with

two dances but they are dances that I love, I'm falling in love with

them. I never in a million years thought that I would get this far.

The glitterball is a lot closer now than it was, but it's anybody's. I

feel ready to ballroom dance. I want to foxtrot. Who is going to make to

it the final and who is going to fall by the wayside? Tonight, our

five remaining couples will have to perform not one but two brand-new

routines. Tonight is all about who deserves to

get to the final. Shaken and stirred and ready for

action, you sexy little thing! How did you learn all of that dance?

The complexity of that routine... APPLAUSE It was simply beautiful.

Absolutely loveable. I think you created the mood from

the first note of the music. A very nice performance. I'm so happy.

That's all I need to hear. Lovely, light, perfect mix of step and

lyrical. You caressed the floor. You did a very good job. Well done.

Let's go and get ready, let's go! Very athletic. It was full on.

However, I would have liked a bit more salsa rhythm going. I really

enjoyed that. If song was hot, you looked hot but

the dance was not. The kicks were completely out of time so I can't

see that dance getting into the final. The American smooth you did

was lovely. However, I was looking more for the foxtrot. At the

beginning, you had the quality and everything to pull it off. You are

not fully extending the leg. That let you down. Disco diva fabulous.

We are losing hip action on the straight leg. Just about all the way

through, sadly. The second one, more. More. OK. More! I'll do more.

To capture the beauty of Puccini's music, it has to be perfect and it

wasn't, my darling. I really enjoyed it and I thought you redeemed

you'res in this. Jay, that was brilliant, darling!

Exhilarate, exhilarate. The Time Lord of the dance. Ten!

You are a breath of fresh air. Smooth.en, gliding transitions,

exquisite. I could watch you dance all night. Gorgeous. Ten! We got

some tens again! I thought you danced it absolutely beautifully.

Glamour, flare, all the Hollywood quality we want. Really, you've done

it, you really have. And here we go again! You've worked really hard for

it and you deserve it. What a dramatic night it was, so

close. Here is how the leaderboard looked after all ten performances.

Up at the top, with a score of 73,ly and Kevin. Katie and Anton with a

total score of 56. Your votes at home really can change.

After 12 weeks of tough competition, all five couples desperately want to

make it through to next Saturday's Grand Final. The results are in.

In no particular order, the first guaranteed finalist of 2015

is; Jay and Aliona. CHEERING AND

APPLAUSE Thank you.

Also in the final are... Kellie and Kevin.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And now the first couple who must dance again in the dance-off are...

Anita and Gleb. It's OK. I'm afraid George Giovanni

and Katie and Anton, you will have to wait a bit longer to dewho is

safe. Anita and Gleb, come and join me. You must be disappointed. It's

fine. I know how much you want to be in the final next week. What is

going through your head right now? Of course everybody wants to be in

the final, we have come so far, but they're so brilliant, everyone is so

amazing and I feel like, since the beginning of this competition, I've

been sprinting to keep up with everyone, so I mean I'm amazed that

it's taken me to the semi-finals to be in the dance-off. We are here,

it's OK. The first time in the dance-off. On

Saturday, you danced a foxtrot and salsa, which dance have you chosen

to do again? Well, I really love wearing these Socks, so it's going

to have to be the salsa. I love the whole outfit. And I love the salsa.

So much fun. You received a score of 32 for both dances, so why have you

picked the salsa, apart from the Socks? It's the most energetic,

there is a lot of content, the choreography is insane. We are just

Ee, going to go out there and enjoy it. I'm so proud of Anita, she did

an incredible job, she's come so far. I'm going to give it my all.

All the way to the semi-final and it's not over yet.

Darcey, this is our most important and tense dance-off so far. What is

your advice for Anita? It is a shock when you've worked so hard and you

put your all into it, I have to say. You amaze me every weekend.

APPLAUSE But I think, you know, I really do

admire you so much, but I think what you've done with that dance, how

much you learnt in one week, go for it, enjoy it.

I will. APPLAUSE Enjoy it. It's a party

dance. Have fun. Wishing you the very best of luck. Thank you.

Claudia, over to you. Thank you so much. I'm here with two

Strictly Come Dancing 2015 finalists, huge congratulations to

those. Kellie, all those weeks of hard slog, two dance-offs, you're in

the final. I know, I know. What is going on in your head? I cannot

believe we've made it to the final, I cannot believe it. It's just so

overwhelming. Because of this guy, he's incredible.

Well, yes. Incredible! He's an amazing choreographer, the most

fantastic teacher. On the subject of you, Kevin, you are the only

professional that's made three finals three years in a row. In a

row! So maybe you are magic. It might be Grimsby. It's all down to

Kellie, she's been brilliant. Jay, congratulations.

APPLAUSE How do you feel about being in the

final? Many I gut I was ready for that to go red then. I was convinced

and I'm so, so grateful. Huge congratulations. Honestly, to both

of you. Not long before we find out who will join the cupels in the

final but first time for some music. With only 12 days until Christmas,

we give you this, singing, Warm this Winter, it's Kylie!

# Sleigh riding down a mountain slide

# Roasting popcorn, dancing till the dawn

# But I'm gonna be warm (ho ho) this winter

# But I'm gonna be warm (ho ho) this winter

# Oh, oh, oh you make me warm this winter#

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you. I have never seen our boys look so happy. A huge thank to

Kiely minute owing. Time to welcome our very own Father Christmas and

his helpers. It's the judges. -- to Kylie Minogue.

Thank you very much. The last time this series you have come up to talk

in more detail, something you might have mentioned on Saturday night. We

can't do it alone. That would be weird. No. Please welcome, Len's

Lens. Len's Lens. First up, Len. I would like to talk to you about Jay

and Aliona. You pulled him up on his natural turn. Natural turn is a turn

to the right. A reverse turn is a turn to the left. Yes. On the

natural turns, you have to close your feet here. Crossed it. He is OK

there. Now he should close and crossed it.

He got nice heel leads. Crossed it. That should be closed. Tight,

closed. Unfortunately, as I said, I loved the routine, I loved the dance

but in a reverse turn you do cross, there you go, that's lovely jubbly.

But he didn't on the natural close. I had to bring it up, I brought up

foot work the whole series. Darcey, can I talk to you about Georgia. You

gave her a 10. You said she managed to keep her frame throughout. You

mentioned throughout the series. Let's have a reminder. Is it hard to

do More particularly in the Viennese waltz because you have that rotation

action and you have the force bringing you up. Look at this. She

is leaving her head. It is so beautiful. She is working hard at

keeping that extension. But as soon as you start turning, you want to

straighten. So to hold it more... For so many turns. Exactly. Kellie's

rum BA you said it was almost perfect. I believe you have never

given a 10 to a rumba. Were you tempted? I was tempted. I really

loved the work she put into this. She is sinking nicely into the hip

there. There is a lot of detail she has put into this particular dance.

That's why I love her. It for me, wasn't a 10. Mainly because I

thought of the chemistry between them. The story-telling I thought

could have been a little bit better. And that big old wobble which she

had. It was a real shame because it was almost perfect. Without the

wobble would you have released the 10 paddle? I cannot answer that

question. It was a 0.5. 99%. Browne yo, I would like to talk

to you about Katie and Anton. -- Bruno. You are a big fan. You loved

her ballroom. You said it was over ambitious. Well, don't get me

started. First it is Puccini. Puccini is crazy, never predictable.

He extends the phrases, he exacts. -- he compacts.

The arms are terrible. He aims for the stars, she goes to Clapham

Common. She went wrong. The footwork after that particular moment wasn't

right. It happens, it is the semifinal. The bar is set very, very

high. Whilst there are mistakes, you know, we have to point it out. Let

me say on behalf of the whole group, you four are the best. Here is a

machine Taj of you. What? Oh! Those moves have to be like that.

Youer to across the floor like a rampant rat. I'm going to pickle my

wallnuts. Thank you very much, the judges.

Now, two couples have made it through to the final next week. But

who will be joining them? Tess? Thanks Claudia. You can feel the

tension here on the floor as both couples are desperate to dance in

next week's final. Only one of them is guaranteed a place.

Georgia and Giovanni and Katy and Anton. One of you is in the final,

one of you will dance again. I can reveal the couple in the bottom two

tonight, who will fight for the place in the final is...

Katie and Anton. Georgia and Giovanni.

Congratulations, you are through to the grand final. Katy and Anton,

come on and join me. Come over, darling. Sorry. So sorry. Your first

dance-off, isn't it? I know. Shall we chat to the judges. Len, you said

there were some mistakes in Katie's waltz. What can she do to iron them

out? Well, you know, you have to truly focus. You have to relax. You

have to trust in Anton. And fortune favours the brave. So, come out,

give it your all, but most important, don't go wrong.

Don't go wrong! Good advice. Great advice. You will be facing Anita and

Gleb in the dance-off. We will see you later. We one you the best of

luck. Clawedia, over to you. -- Claudia.

I'm now joined by Georgia and Giovanni. Yes! Now, Georgia, last

week you were in the dance-off. What would you like to say to the public

who saved you tonight? Oh my gosh. Thank you. Thank you so much. Next

Saturday we will crown the Strictly Come Dancing 2015 champions. After

12 gruelling weeks of blisters, sweat and sequins, only one couple

will take home the glitterball. Three months ago, 15 couples boarded

the Strictly Express. ! That was exquisite. Fantastic. Best dance

ever. Next week... It reaches its final destination. Oh, show us what

you've got. It all comes down to this. Absolutely spectacular. After

12 gruelling weeks. It is a tough process. I pushed through T My body

feels broken. The nation will decide. The most amazing show to be

part of. Who will lift the glitterball trophy in Strictly 2015

- the Final. Anything can happen. I'm here with Katie and Anton and

Anita and Gleb who both really want to be in the final next week.

Saturday was difficult. I know because some of the scores weren't

perfect. How much do you want to make it through to next week? You

know it would be the icing on the cake in what has been the most

fantastic few months to be in the final. It would be wonderful. I know

there are an awful lot of people out there who want to see Anton in the

final, too. It would be fantastic but you know, here we are. I'm only

sorry I'm dancing against my lovely friend Anita. They are mazing Anita

and Gleb. I know we'll both go out and smash it and do our best. Anton,

what advice do you have for Katie? Oh, she has been wonderful in

rehearsal and through the whole run of the show. And I just want her to

enjoy the moment, really. Don't let the moment overtake. Just go and

enjoy it. Enormous luck to both of you. Go and get into position. Let's

hear it for Katie and Anton. CHEERING AND

APPLAUSE Anita. You started the competition a few months ago as an

absolute novice. You have worked so hard and come so far. What would it

mean for you to make it one more week to the final? It is what you

have said. You have come so far and the final is within touching

distance. Of course at this stage everybody wants to get there. We

have, we have worked so hard and week-in and week-out, Gleb's

choreography is - I guess it is only when you step away from the

experience will the penny drop and you will realise how far you have

come and what you have been through. I'm here to give it my all. This is

the last and most-important dance-off of the series. Neck next

week your votes alone decide the fate of the finalists. First to

dance for a place in the final, it's Katie and Anton.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Katy and Anton have done all they can and the stakes could not be

higher. Now dancing to win over the judges, it is Anita and Gleb.

MUSIC I Just Wanna Feel This Moment...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Such an incredible dance-off. Katie and Anton, Anita and Gleb, you can

do no more. Judges, you have seen both couples perform in the

dance-off and based on that, you must choose who you want to send

through to the final. A very difficult decision to make.

I'm about to ask each of you the name of the couple you would like to

send through to the final and the reason why. The couple with the most

votes stays in the competition, meaning the other couple will leave

the ballroom tonight. In the event of the tie, head judge Len, you'll

have the casting vote. Katie and Anton and Anita and Gleb, you have

come so far. This is it. Craig, who would you like to send

through to the final and why? Well, this couple dramatic, dynamic

and risk-takers, and that couple, Anita and Gleb.

Congratulations. One vote for you. Darcey, who would you like to save

and why? I would like to save this couple because they made no mistakes

and they produced a beautiful quality across the dance floor and

that is Katie and Anton. Neck and neck, one vote apiece. Bruno, who do

you think deserves to be a finalist and why? All errors have been erased

from my memory. The musical phrasing was worthy of the Maestro. Katie and

Anton. It's 2-1 to Katie and Anton, but, as

head judge Len has the casting vote, whichever couple he now chooses will

be dancing in the final. So, Len, who are you going to choose

and why? Well, I'm just judging this on this one dance, nothing that

could be in the future or in the final, just on this one dance.

It wasn't close for me, it was totally clear, Katie and Anton.

Anita and Gleb, we are going to have to say goodbye to you.

Anita and Gleb, come and join me. Oh, we are so sorry to lose you. In

the semi-final, you have been incredible to watch. He's a great

choreographer. This man is a slave driver, he's beautiful and, but he's

also got the most creative mind and the choreography and honestly, I've

had the best time. You guys have been dynamite to watch

together. Gleb, anything you would like to say the Anita? I just want

to say thank you for this amazing time. 12 weeks has been absolutely

incredible. I love every day spending with you and I could not

wish for a better partner. Hands down. I want to say thank you to all

the judges. I mean, everything you say, you're brilliant, I've loved

watching you, and to all my amazing friends and all four of you, I can't

wait to watch the final, you are sensational dancers and I feel, I

just can't believe that I managed to get this far with people, the

calibre of dancer that I've been dancing with, you are all incredible

and thank you. You have given us your joy over the

last 12 weeks, the pair of you. Have a look at this, your Strictly story.

Winding the clock back to the very start of Strictly, I still wouldn't

know what to say to myself to prepare me for the experience I'm

about to have. I totally underestimated just how

all-encompassing and huge Strictly would be.

The me.ryes that will stick with me forever will be meeting my new

friends, the costumes, the hair, the make-up -- the memories. Hands down,

the highlight for me has to be Blackpool. Being up north in the

Tower Ballroom and that audience' reaction - wow!

I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing on Strictly if it wasn't for

Gleb. That's a fact. I've been super lucky, an amazing partner,

energetic, funny, a hard-working person. One of the major reasons for

me doing Strictly was to make my mum feel proud. My mum loves dancing.

I'm so lucky to have been given an opportunity to be part of Strictly.

Who knew I could do the things that I've done? !

What an amazing couple you have been. We have enjoyed every moment.

Thank you so much. For the very last time, the floor is yours!

Thank you. Anita and Gleb will join Zoe next

week on It Takes Two. Next Saturday, you will choose your

Strictly Come Dancing champions of 2015. Your finalists are Katie and

Anton, Jay and Aliona, Georgia and Giovanni and Kellie and Kevin. We'll

see you next week at 6. 35 for the first of the live shows, don't miss

it. For now, with their last dance, it's Anita and Gleb.

It's a little disappointing being that close to the final and not

getting through, but at the same time it's amazing to have gotten

this far. We are shell-shocked. It's been quite a night. Very emotional

this weekend. Woo-hoo. So that's what it feels like to be in a final?

! We have made to it the final. What? ! I certainly never thought

we'd be in the final. That I'd be in the final I should say, I don't know

what you thought. Oh, yeah, always thought we'd be in the final. We are

in the final. Officially stamped finalists.

We will give you a show to be proud of.
