2016 Strictly Come Dancing finalists!

:04:33.:05:17.

Live from the BBC, this is Strictly Come Dancing the Grand Final!

:05:18.:05:30.

Hello and welcome to Strictly Come Dancing.

:05:31.:05:58.

Thank you to our professional dancers and finalists for that

:05:59.:06:06.

That's what you call arriving in style.

:06:07.:06:14.

Back in September, the days were long, the sun was shining,

:06:15.:06:19.

and 15 celebrities took their first tentative steps onto this floor.

:06:20.:06:21.

And after four months of blood, sweat and spray tans,

:06:22.:06:24.

Tonight, one of them will be crowned Strictly Come Dancing Champion 2016!

:06:25.:06:27.

But first, our three finalists must dance three times.

:06:28.:06:34.

So strap yourselves in and get ready for a huge night of dance.

:06:35.:06:38.

Also tonight, we have a performance from the amazing Emeli Sande.

:06:39.:06:44.

Plus, we'll be reuniting the Class of 2016 for one final

:06:45.:06:48.

Casting an eye over the Grand Final are these wonderful four.

:06:49.:06:56.

Tonight, they'll be scoring, but those scores

:06:57.:07:27.

Your votes alone will decide which couple will be crowned this

:07:28.:07:32.

year's Strictly winners at the end of the show.

:07:33.:07:34.

Our finalists are backstage, focused, ready and raring to go.

:07:35.:07:39.

TV presenter and singer Louise Redknapp and her

:07:40.:07:49.

BBC sports presenter Ore Oduba and his partner, Joanne Clifton.

:07:50.:07:56.

Actor Danny Mac and his partner, Oti Mabuse.

:07:57.:07:58.

Every one of them has topped the leaderboard.

:07:59.:08:23.

Every one of them is dreaming of lifting

:08:24.:08:25.

First, our couples will perform a dance chosen by the judges.

:08:26.:08:32.

It's a routine they've done before that the judges

:08:33.:08:35.

After they've all danced once, we'll open the vote, so you can

:08:36.:08:39.

Their second dance is something that we've looked

:08:40.:08:42.

Our finalists will be pulling out all the stops to blow us away

:08:43.:08:48.

And for their third and final dance, our couples will perform their very

:08:49.:08:57.

And dancing first for your votes is Ore and his partner, Joanne.

:08:58.:09:16.

The dance the judges have chosen for them to perform again is that

:09:17.:09:27.

unforgettable American Smooth to 'Singin' In The Rain'.

:09:28.:09:30.

We know we'd love to see it again, let's find out why

:09:31.:09:33.

It still feels so strange to say it, but we are in the final!

:09:34.:09:50.

It was a fantastic dance! Last Saturday night, it will go down as

:09:51.:09:55.

one of these best nights in my life. We are in the final! Look at you

:09:56.:10:03.

two, Ore and Joanne, congratulations. You've been a

:10:04.:10:09.

revelation. Your talent as a dancer is incredible. We have chosen for

:10:10.:10:15.

you to repeat that amazing American smooth.

:10:16.:10:22.

The foxtrot. Really? Are you kidding? I'm not kidding. I remember

:10:23.:10:29.

it was Gene Kellie, fabulous! The first time you did it, it was only

:10:30.:10:34.

weeks three and you got 35. All the dances that we have chosen, we think

:10:35.:10:42.

you will have the potential to get ten across the board. My only advice

:10:43.:10:47.

is to maintain your frame, this is the bit where you were slightly

:10:48.:10:52.

leaning over Jo. Keep the lovely wide elbows and beautiful posture,

:10:53.:10:55.

correct footwork. Only perfection is going to do if you are going to win

:10:56.:11:00.

this competition. I really feel like we can smash this

:11:01.:11:05.

one out of the park! Out lot is riding on this dance.

:11:06.:11:12.

Back then, we only come only, got 35. They gave constructive criticism

:11:13.:11:17.

and we are working really hard to try to perfect their stance because

:11:18.:11:22.

we've got to get this one and gone. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

:11:23.:11:25.

Dancing the American Smooth, Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton.

:11:26.:11:27.

And what a dance! I think you are happy with that.

:11:28.:13:35.

This four months has been the biggest honour, beyond both our

:13:36.:13:47.

wildest dreams. This day has been incredible, I can't believe that

:13:48.:13:50.

reception, thank you so much! It is amazing! Soak it up.

:13:51.:13:55.

While you two take it all in, please welcome our superb live singers...

:13:56.:13:58.

And, of course, Dave Arch and his brilliant orchestra!

:13:59.:14:04.

You couldn't hear me Ore. I was screaming the whole way through it.

:14:05.:14:23.

You are... No, I was. You are the boy that brings joy. You were

:14:24.:14:26.

Singin' in the Rain but my thoughts were only of happiness. Honestly, I

:14:27.:14:31.

thought it was such a greater number before. You have taken great to an

:14:32.:14:37.

even greater place. It was brilliant. I love it! Bruno? Fasten

:14:38.:14:48.

your seat belts, it will be a fantastic night. We are off on a

:14:49.:14:54.

high. It was such a beautifully crafted tribute to Gene Kelly, but

:14:55.:14:59.

what I liked about it was it was not an imitation, it was true to the

:15:00.:15:04.

spirit of a great start but your personality and your talent really

:15:05.:15:08.

shone through, your cheeky charm. You put so much of yourself into it,

:15:09.:15:15.

and yet it was true to the brief and a great American Smooth foxtrot as

:15:16.:15:18.

well. Spot-on. APPLAUSE

:15:19.:15:20.

Did his frame make you happier that time around, Craig?

:15:21.:15:27.

Yes, the frame was vastly improved this time. And also you were much

:15:28.:15:35.

higher up on your toes, which I noticed, but I also noticed you did

:15:36.:15:39.

not appoint your foot on some sections. It is the final. You have

:15:40.:15:48.

style, you have substance, it was sophisticated, it was polished and,

:15:49.:15:52.

you know what, I think you are a miracle. I really do. That is a

:15:53.:16:01.

miracle, him giving you a compliment!

:16:02.:16:04.

Darcey? Ore, Joanne, I wish I could play it on rewind. In week three I

:16:05.:16:09.

said it took my breath away, you made me gasp again. It is heaven.

:16:10.:16:14.

How you capture the style, the understanding you have on the dance

:16:15.:16:21.

floor, it all came together and you have pulled it off again. Thank you.

:16:22.:16:22.

CHEERING It is the final!

:16:23.:16:51.

The whole gang is back to support you, huge congratulations. When you

:16:52.:16:56.

first did the dance, Gene Kelly's widow Patricia got into urged to say

:16:57.:17:00.

that she loved it, she is here this evening. It is an absolute honour

:17:01.:17:07.

for us. And I believe you have dinner...

:17:08.:17:11.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Patricia, thank you for joining us,

:17:12.:17:15.

it must have been wonderful for you guys to meet. It is hard to top this

:17:16.:17:19.

experience, it has been an honour and privilege and I have made best

:17:20.:17:23.

friends on this show, to have Patricia here and to do this

:17:24.:17:26.

number... You describe it. 39. Each judge went up a mug, you

:17:27.:18:00.

had to be happy? Amazing. -- each judge went up a mark.

:18:01.:18:01.

Remember, those scores are for guidance only.

:18:02.:18:03.

Tonight, your votes alone will decide the winners.

:18:04.:18:05.

And if your winners are Ore and Joanne, all the details

:18:06.:18:08.

are on your screen now, and the vote will open

:18:09.:18:10.

after all three of our couples have danced once.

:18:11.:18:12.

Terms and conditions coming up later.

:18:13.:18:14.

But for now, if you are going to vote online,

:18:15.:18:17.

Do that by going to the website address on screen.

:18:18.:18:30.

If you are going to vote by phone, please do not call yet,

:18:31.:18:34.

as the vote is not open, your vote won't count

:18:35.:18:36.

Our next finalists to take to the floor are Louise

:18:37.:18:41.

The judges have chosen her Cha-Cha to 'Flashdance' from Movie Week.

:18:42.:18:47.

Ten weeks on, she's doing it again - and she's hoping the sequel will be

:18:48.:18:51.

I just feel incredibly grateful to still be in the competition. Stunt

:18:52.:19:07.

to have been saved by the public, because I was joint bottom in the

:19:08.:19:11.

Leader Board. In my head, I was very unsure of what would happen. To get

:19:12.:19:16.

the opportunity to dance in the final, I can't believe it, I think I

:19:17.:19:21.

am still in shock. Welcome, my darlings, I bet you are both dying

:19:22.:19:25.

to know what we have chosen. It is from week three, the cha-cha-cha.

:19:26.:19:34.

The cha-cha-cha! Outcomes the leotard!

:19:35.:19:41.

That was not your highest mark but you won the cha-cha-cha Lynch, when

:19:42.:19:47.

you dance that, we could see such an enormous improvement. This is what

:19:48.:19:50.

we are after, you get movements when your hip action is to reflect. We

:19:51.:19:55.

want to see that quality of hip action throughout the dance. -- your

:19:56.:20:01.

hip action is to refix. You are both capable of maximum points on this.

:20:02.:20:06.

If you pull this off you could be getting a ten from Len. You have

:20:07.:20:12.

everything within you to deliver a scorching performance. Good luck, go

:20:13.:20:18.

for it. I think the cha-cha is quite hard to

:20:19.:20:21.

understand with accounts and the straight legs. It will be good to

:20:22.:20:28.

get back out there and get the technique right. I don't know what I

:20:29.:20:33.

am more scared of, the straight legs or the leotard. It can't be anything

:20:34.:20:35.

less than perfect. Dancing the Cha-Cha-Cha,

:20:36.:20:37.

Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton. MUSIC: "Flashdance...

:20:38.:20:44.

What A Feeling" What a feeling! What a feeling! Yes,

:20:45.:22:18.

you are in the final. You asked for a scorching

:22:19.:22:44.

performance. Oh, welcome back, Louise. Scorching

:22:45.:23:02.

hot! And quite saucy tonight, all saucy on me. More saucy than ever.

:23:03.:23:07.

The saucier the better. It was like a flashback into the 80s with a

:23:08.:23:13.

feel-good factor. But apart from that, the cha-cha-cha it self, it

:23:14.:23:19.

was actually extremely well-placed, precise to, clean, well executed.

:23:20.:23:30.

Looking good, feeling great! It took me back to the 80s, darling,

:23:31.:23:35.

too when I did this in a bit in my drag act.

:23:36.:23:42.

I have to agree, the hip action has come on noticeably. Particularly in

:23:43.:23:48.

the time sets as well. Technically, so much better. That has happened

:23:49.:23:53.

largely due to your confidence, that has grown so much over the

:23:54.:23:57.

programme. So well done. Darcey? We must remember this year

:23:58.:24:04.

has been such a strong competition, and you are in the final, the only

:24:05.:24:08.

lady. CHEERING

:24:09.:24:13.

And you deserve it, Louise, you certainly do. You fall into that

:24:14.:24:16.

style with such natural ease, it is a joy to watch because you never

:24:17.:24:22.

overdo it. It is very subtle, you're hip action, how you glance through

:24:23.:24:26.

your head back, the detail, the energy, it is all that and the

:24:27.:24:33.

confidence is losing. Len? Firstly, I was very impressed

:24:34.:24:40.

at the start. You are right there on your own, cha-cha is funny, you are

:24:41.:24:45.

on the second beta, for a celebrity to pick out the second beta is a

:24:46.:24:49.

tough job, but few went, right on time. Lots of celebrities and their

:24:50.:24:55.

professional partners disguise stuff with a fringe and frilly skirts, you

:24:56.:25:04.

were very exposed. And yet you're hip action was pressed, sharp, a

:25:05.:25:10.

red-hot cha-cha from a red-hot Redknapp.

:25:11.:25:16.

Well done. I love you, Len! I can't wait to see the red-hot Redknapp

:25:17.:25:18.

showdown! It's their show dance next,

:25:19.:25:21.

and we're all looking Your first dance of the final, they

:25:22.:25:38.

are so right about confidence. I remember this, week three, you were

:25:39.:25:43.

like, can I borrow a towel, it is mortifying, and in the final you are

:25:44.:25:50.

like... Boom! Did you love it? Yes, I feel really grateful to be,

:25:51.:25:54.

everybody has been so amazing this season, to still be standing here I

:25:55.:25:59.

feel really lucky. I just wanted to make the most bit and do it us all.

:26:00.:26:03.

If you want Louise and Kevin to win Strictly Come Dancing, all

:26:04.:26:28.

So you can vote for them when the vote opens,

:26:29.:26:33.

after all our couples have danced once.

:26:34.:26:34.

Dancing next is Danny and his partner, Oti.

:26:35.:26:42.

When he first performed this routine in Week Four,

:26:43.:26:50.

the judges thought it was pure class - and he scored four nines.

:26:51.:26:53.

Can he turn pure class into perfection and

:26:54.:26:55.

The whole semifinal week was the hardest week. It is tough doing the

:26:56.:27:13.

two dancers, you have so much going through your week.

:27:14.:27:16.

You have worked nonstop for the past three months to get to the final.

:27:17.:27:24.

And to get their means you have to fight one more time. But this time

:27:25.:27:29.

against somebody that you absolutely love.

:27:30.:27:32.

Both couples were worth tens, but the couple but had a small edge

:27:33.:27:36.

was... Danny and Oti. I was so, so happy

:27:37.:27:43.

but it broke my hoard -- hard to put Claudia out, genuinely.

:27:44.:27:47.

Congratulations on getting through to the final.

:27:48.:27:53.

Week four, your dance was the quickstep, and we would love to see

:27:54.:27:59.

you dance it again. Yes! The reason we wanted to see

:28:00.:28:04.

this again was that you scored 36, and I think you are capable of

:28:05.:28:10.

maximum points. You had the style, you set the scene

:28:11.:28:15.

so beautifully and the choreography, technically, incredibly difficult.

:28:16.:28:21.

And you were delicious in underlying those wonderful subtleties.

:28:22.:28:25.

Keep that going. And keep the feeling of Fred Astaire going.

:28:26.:28:31.

I can't wait! Because it is the final, everything has to be better.

:28:32.:28:35.

We had to be light on our feet. There will be a lot riding on this.

:28:36.:28:41.

We definitely need to go out, think back to how fun it was and enjoy it.

:28:42.:28:44.

Dancing the Quickstep, Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse.

:28:45.:28:46.

Such showmanship! I saw your dress got caught up. These things happen.

:28:47.:30:45.

The dance-off last week and the final this week.

:30:46.:30:48.

Your first of three dances in the final.

:30:49.:30:50.

I love that dance, I enjoyed it the first time and I did so much that

:30:51.:30:57.

time. Whatever happens, I'm so happy to be here and it was so nice to do

:30:58.:31:06.

that again. Craig, what did you think? Timing on

:31:07.:31:12.

the first pendulum was a bit out. And the promenade section coming

:31:13.:31:18.

down here, it just went. It was a shame because I was really hoping

:31:19.:31:24.

and praying that it was going to be absolutely fantastic. But apart from

:31:25.:31:28.

that, it was bright and lively and elegant and you are a first-class

:31:29.:31:32.

tonne sub. And you make a wonderful partnership. Darcey. I loved this

:31:33.:31:40.

stands when I first saw it and I still love it. It's a shame you made

:31:41.:31:45.

that mistake but this is the competition. It is so hard on me get

:31:46.:31:51.

this point. But my goodness, the speed, at your composure in your

:31:52.:31:57.

upper body, it is the most beautiful choreography, Oti, thank you.

:31:58.:32:02.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Even with those tiny mistakes, as you said,

:32:03.:32:07.

you are a superb dancer. Thank you. I do have two more

:32:08.:32:15.

chances tonight. You are a superb dancers. And the

:32:16.:32:18.

standard of dancing he produced throughout this competition has been

:32:19.:32:23.

the catalyst to make everyone else dance better. You have set the bar,

:32:24.:32:31.

your standard of dance is the one that everyone is aiming for. I'm so

:32:32.:32:38.

disappointed, you did so many nice things. I moaned about too much

:32:39.:32:43.

conducting, you cut out half of that. You did everything to possibly

:32:44.:32:48.

please me. But it is live and it is here. There was a pretty big mistake

:32:49.:32:56.

going on. But you are fantastic, Danny. You truly are!

:32:57.:33:03.

These things happen. Bruno. Danny, let's forget about that, you have

:33:04.:33:08.

another two dances, this is in the past. Focus on what you have. You

:33:09.:33:14.

are one of the best show men we have ever seen. You deliver performances

:33:15.:33:21.

at 110%, keep doing that. Your technique is spotless! You went

:33:22.:33:27.

wrong, forget about it, come back and show us what you are made of

:33:28.:33:30.

because you've got it! Yes!

:33:31.:33:35.

Danny and Oti! We thought it was absolutely beautiful, can you talk

:33:36.:33:59.

about the mistake? What happened? I don't know what went wrong, I

:34:00.:34:03.

thought it was in my body, I will have to watch it back. Maybe forget

:34:04.:34:07.

that and replay it on YouTube! That is an excellent idea. We made

:34:08.:34:15.

this in March! You trying so hard, how difficult was it to put three

:34:16.:34:20.

dancers in this week? It was tough because we worked on the Show Dance

:34:21.:34:24.

first because that was the brand-new dance. Picking up the old ones was

:34:25.:34:29.

fun and there are certain bits in your body you are so grateful of,

:34:30.:34:32.

but that was a long time ago. I know, it was in February.

:34:33.:34:35.

If Danny and Oti are your champions, then vote for them.

All the information you need is on your screen now.

:35:22.:35:29.

:37:34.:37:41.

First up with their show dance are Ore and his partner, Joanne.

:37:42.:37:54.

The show dance is an opportunity for our celebrities to showcase

:37:55.:38:02.

everything they've learnt over the series.

:38:03.:38:04.

Our second stands tonight is a Show Dance. Jo has choreographed routine

:38:05.:38:33.

and it is big and it is bold. I want to show off every skill that he has

:38:34.:38:38.

mastered throughout this series. There is Quickstep, there is some

:38:39.:38:42.

jive and even Viennese waltz, I have pulled out all the stops.

:38:43.:38:46.

This year, Claudia and I could not wait to see the Showdances so we

:38:47.:38:50.

went to see how they were getting on.

:38:51.:38:54.

Let's do the conga! Hello! What you want the public to

:38:55.:38:59.

get out of watching your show dance? I would love to show them what we

:39:00.:39:03.

have gone through. What are you most worried about during this routine?

:39:04.:39:07.

Genuinely worried about falling from a height.

:39:08.:39:13.

You dancing on a platform? Platforms. If we slip up, there is

:39:14.:39:17.

no coming back! Get comfortable. We've got a show

:39:18.:39:19.

dance! Fantastic! So good! You are so

:39:20.:39:33.

brave, so many things could go wrong potentially!

:39:34.:39:39.

Good luck! CU for the show dance! Pot that elbow down, what is that?

:39:40.:39:44.

He throws everything at it, it matters so much to him.

:39:45.:39:47.

I need a lie down. Delighted. They loved it. This is

:39:48.:39:52.

the best showcase of what migratory and I bring together. With it being

:39:53.:39:57.

the final, it you have to go big, but there is no room for a slip-up!

:39:58.:40:00.

Dancing their Show dance, Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton.

:40:01.:40:02.

What did you not put in there, it was superb! And you didn't fall, so

:40:03.:42:34.

relieved! And the banister! The reaction in this room was just

:42:35.:42:38.

incredible! And well deserved. Thank you!

:42:39.:42:39.

Did that showcase how much he's grown as a dancer, Darcey?

:42:40.:42:45.

Well, a round of applause. I have to say that was fun, that was fast and

:42:46.:42:58.

classic. My cup of tea! When you got up and you were beating out that

:42:59.:43:02.

rhythm on those drums, that was so difficult. And you were able to

:43:03.:43:06.

glance at the camera, how you didn't miss one of those! It was close! It

:43:07.:43:15.

was excellent. I loved the highlights from all the dances you

:43:16.:43:20.

have done over the competition. They appeared in so many special spots

:43:21.:43:24.

and they brought back great memories. You did that with such

:43:25.:43:29.

class, I'm so impressed, well done! We all are! Is saw the one on the

:43:30.:43:34.

left! Len. Who could ask for anything

:43:35.:43:39.

more? CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Standing

:43:40.:43:48.

ovation. From Len. From novice to this, Bruno.

:43:49.:43:55.

Exceeding all expectations. A different class altogether. It was a

:43:56.:44:00.

ballroom -based extravaganza mixing all the best of classic Hollywood,

:44:01.:44:05.

the glitz and glamour and Broadway. I'm totally razzle-dazzle by it!

:44:06.:44:13.

Craig? It was like an advanced aerobics step class, that. I am

:44:14.:44:21.

blown away. I had to say, the cross-section of steps was just

:44:22.:44:26.

brilliant. Hitch cakes, stabbing, the charleston, it was all in there

:44:27.:44:34.

and it was brilliant. -- hedge kicks, stepping. Thank you, judges.

:44:35.:44:36.

Ore and Joanne, well done. When we came to see the show dance we were

:44:37.:45:08.

like, what? You're making him jump from tiny round things. You must

:45:09.:45:14.

have been, Jo, let's not do that? You have to run with Jo Clifton,

:45:15.:45:19.

there is nothing better at choreographed thing a ballroom show

:45:20.:45:23.

dance. I have fallen in love with this girl, her creativity, her

:45:24.:45:27.

dedication, her patients and just everything. I had to say, all the

:45:28.:45:32.

information for all of finalists is on screen, please keep voting. It is

:45:33.:45:40.

on there, we just put it up. I love your parents, there were shots of

:45:41.:45:44.

them, they were crying. Your dad flew back early. They must just be

:45:45.:45:51.

so incredibly proud. Your wife was sobbing. It has been amazing for

:45:52.:45:54.

you? It has been the best gifts. My dad

:45:55.:45:59.

wasn't going to come back from Nigeria before Christmas, it is

:46:00.:46:03.

Christmas come early. This whole experience, I can't believe it. I

:46:04.:46:10.

turned up in the show a stone yet back in August, she tells me

:46:11.:46:14.

everyday, I have this suit on... You look like a supermodel.

:46:15.:46:17.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. And 810 from Craig! Well done. Very well done.

:46:18.:46:49.

Danny and Oti show-dance with a mirror.

:46:50.:46:51.

I'm sure he'll have an excellent frame!

:46:52.:46:54.

We have seen the first perfect score of the final.

:46:55.:47:03.

Next up and hoping to win your votes is Louise and her partner, Kevin.

:47:04.:47:06.

For their show dance, they'll be performing

:47:07.:47:09.

to Whitney Houston's 'One Moment In Time'.

:47:10.:47:10.

And if it helps Louise win the Glitterball Trophy.

:47:11.:47:12.

it will be a moment in time she'll never forget.

:47:13.:47:15.

Our show dance will be the story of Kiwis's journey on Strycova come

:47:16.:47:28.

dancing. She has gone from being not very confident at the beginning to

:47:29.:47:32.

losing all of their innovations, I want Louise to show that she can

:47:33.:47:36.

dance that kind of abandoned. With the show dance there is a lot of

:47:37.:47:39.

pressure, people want to see what you are really good at. There are no

:47:40.:47:46.

rules, you can do whatever you like. As normal, Kevin does not come up

:47:47.:47:51.

with an easy routine. We have lots of lifts, which we have not done of

:47:52.:48:00.

in this series. It is full of danger. We are taking risks, I did

:48:01.:48:03.

not want to pay its say. Kevin has given me so much, I would like on

:48:04.:48:08.

Saturday for him to be really proud. We did not want to play it safe.

:48:09.:48:13.

We are having a sneak preview. Hello!

:48:14.:48:20.

What are you trying to get across in the show dance? We wanted to be

:48:21.:48:25.

emotional, it is quite lyrical. Darcey loves this side of you. We

:48:26.:48:32.

can't wait to see it. Let's see it. Beautiful!

:48:33.:48:39.

This is nice! I love a good lift in a show dance.

:48:40.:48:47.

How many finals, four so far? Will it be his first win?

:48:48.:48:53.

No pressure, Louise! It is the final, I just had to go out and

:48:54.:48:55.

smash it on Saturday night. Dancing their Show Dance,

:48:56.:48:57.

Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton, Louise and Kevin!

:48:58.:51:14.

So much riding on these dancers tonight.

:51:15.:51:15.

What do you think, Len? One moment in time, Louise I am sure this is

:51:16.:51:27.

one moment in time you will never forget, the night you danced in the

:51:28.:51:32.

final of Strictly Come Dancing and performed with so much confidence,

:51:33.:51:38.

so much style. Terrific lifts, dancing right on the edge. It was

:51:39.:51:42.

knockout. Well done. Lots of risky lifts,

:51:43.:51:47.

Bruno? The best lift was the one you gave

:51:48.:51:55.

to my heart. Not just dancing, that is being with your heart. Every bit

:51:56.:52:01.

of the way, so expressive, so touching, so moving. All your best

:52:02.:52:08.

qualities right there on show. The fluidity, the joy of dance. That is

:52:09.:52:13.

what it is all about. That is what it is all about, my darling. Great?

:52:14.:52:23.

Google very expressive and emotive. I had a problem with the final bit,

:52:24.:52:29.

because the new macro does not lower to the foot. You had to make sure

:52:30.:52:34.

that the foot is out, not like a sickle. But what a routine.

:52:35.:52:40.

Ballroom, classical, modern, contemporary, I absolutely loved it.

:52:41.:52:50.

I really, really lived. -- loved it. Kevin showing off how lyrical and

:52:51.:52:54.

fluid you are, how you show that through your body. It could have

:52:55.:52:58.

been quite daring to certainly wear soft ballet shoes, suddenly to

:52:59.:53:03.

change from wearing heels, but it made you more expressive, it's made

:53:04.:53:07.

you feel the floor and how you moved across and how you were in the

:53:08.:53:15.

beautiful arms of Kevin. It was touching and emotional.

:53:16.:53:17.

Go and get ready for your Argentine Tango next.

:53:18.:53:20.

The information for all three couples is on your screen right now.

:53:21.:53:34.

You made Bruno cry! Bless him. It was very touching, and your face

:53:35.:53:42.

when you did that running, I am sure it is not called running...! You

:53:43.:53:48.

look so happy, so full of joy. I am really happy to be here. So relieved

:53:49.:53:55.

to get him into the final? I was so petrified we would not.

:53:56.:53:59.

I love your husband Jamie, who was like, please don't Barry is me, then

:54:00.:54:06.

he was on It Takes To this week, sobbing. -- please don't embarrass

:54:07.:54:08.

me. Everybody is loving it. Plus the cast of 2016 take to the

:54:09.:54:46.

floor for one final time. Get ready for gymnastics, facial choreography

:54:47.:54:47.

and a spot of Gangnam Style. Dancing next, in a bid to be

:54:48.:54:57.

crowned your champion, Danny and his partner,

:54:58.:54:59.

Oti. Over the series, Danny has topped

:55:00.:55:00.

the leaderboard more than any other finalist,

:55:01.:55:03.

scoring two perfect 40s on the way. So expectations are high for

:55:04.:55:06.

a spectacular show dance tonight. Our second dance of the night will

:55:07.:55:21.

be the show dance. Anything goes, no rules, we will push the limits,

:55:22.:55:27.

because that is what O2 does. The show dance is a combination between

:55:28.:55:32.

Argentine tango, paso and contemporary dance. It has every

:55:33.:55:37.

right to be the most incredible dance of the night. I just really,

:55:38.:55:42.

really hope I can get there and bring that for her.

:55:43.:55:47.

We are about to go and see Danny and Oti's showdowns.

:55:48.:55:53.

How are you, guys? Tess and Claudia came to visit us, which was

:55:54.:55:58.

brilliant. It was so lovely to see them out of the studio. It starts

:55:59.:56:02.

off with him being shy and not able to find himself on the show until

:56:03.:56:07.

the end, when he is the man that he is today. It is really intense,

:56:08.:56:13.

really fiery. Fire rears good. Would you mind if we watched? I don't

:56:14.:56:18.

mind. It is nerve wracking having them in, the training room is such a

:56:19.:56:25.

safe environment, but you could not have two more positive people in the

:56:26.:56:32.

room, at the same time. Don't drop! They are so in sync.

:56:33.:56:36.

Nice! It feels like set a day night is just around the corner. Dramatic

:56:37.:56:42.

but heartfelt, it showcased everything you do so well. The

:56:43.:56:48.

expectation is so high, I don't want to let Oti down. It has to be

:56:49.:56:50.

perfect. Dancing their Show Dance,

:56:51.:56:50.

Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse. The Mac is back!

:56:51.:56:53.

CHEERING The Mac is back!

:56:54.:59:29.

You said you wanted The Mac is back!

:59:30.:59:41.

firework of passion! The intensity, Everything you do has a meaning.

:59:42.:59:53.

Everything makes sense. It is perfectly fitted to

:59:54.:00:17.

Everything makes sense. It is what did you think, Craig?

:00:18.:00:17.

Two words, totally brilliant! CHEERING AND

:00:18.:00:24.

Two words, totally brilliant! like a stand-off between you, a

:00:25.:00:25.

great mix of like a stand-off between you, a

:00:26.:00:35.

was clean, the timing. But fabulously wild at

:00:36.:00:57.

well done. We enjoyed the magic.

:00:58.:00:58.

The vote is still open, and the information for all three

:00:59.:01:09.

You can keep voting until the vote closes later in the show.

:01:10.:01:13.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. They are screaming for you up here!

:01:14.:01:24.

Your fiance, she didn't breed throughout. She is sitting with your

:01:25.:01:30.

mother and your grandma who were like that... Oti, that choreography,

:01:31.:01:38.

did you go, we will be banking a mirror? I will jump through it, it

:01:39.:01:42.

is quite intense. Is that what you wanted? All of that, I wanted the

:01:43.:01:47.

fire and the drama that he has inside him. Not a what people see

:01:48.:01:53.

that in the series. Yes, he is so smiley. He is so passionate and

:01:54.:01:57.

intense anti-enjoys being here and I love working with him. Well done.

:01:58.:01:59.

Ten! Yes! Congratulations, well done. I tell you what, thank

:02:00.:02:33.

goodness, otherwise these guys would have gone down and they would have

:02:34.:02:35.

hurt the judges! Very well done. Each of our couples have

:02:36.:02:36.

performed two routines, and they all have one to go -

:02:37.:02:40.

their favourite of the series. Before that, let's have a look

:02:41.:02:43.

at the leaderboard. At the top, Ore and Joanne, with a

:02:44.:02:52.

joint score of 79 and joint second, Louise and Kevin and Danny and Oti,

:03:15.:03:21.

Remember, our couples still have one more dance to perform,

:03:22.:03:26.

To help you decide, here's a reminder of their

:03:27.:03:30.

first two performances, and the all-important

:03:31.:03:31.

More dancing still to come, when each of our couples

:03:32.:05:23.

perform their favourite routine from the past 13 weeks.

:05:24.:05:25.

Every one of them has their eye on the Glitterball Trophy tonight,

:05:26.:05:28.

and here is why it would mean so much to win.

:05:29.:05:36.

I have loved every single second of this entire Strictly adventure. My

:05:37.:05:44.

life has changed because of the show. When I look back, I can't

:05:45.:05:47.

believe what we had been through to get here.

:05:48.:05:52.

Being in Strictly, I think I have learned is to be more fearless. I

:05:53.:05:56.

used to sit at home and think, I don't know how anybody has got the

:05:57.:06:00.

nerve to go out and do that live on a Saturday night. To dance in front

:06:01.:06:05.

of millions of people on the TV is something so exhilarating!

:06:06.:06:11.

You go through so many different emotions while you are doing

:06:12.:06:15.

Strictly. Physically, mentally, emotionally, you invest everything

:06:16.:06:20.

in the show. All of that effort has finally paid off and we are here, in

:06:21.:06:24.

with a shout of lifting the Glitterball Trophy.

:06:25.:06:27.

I would love to win Strictly because I think he deserves to win it more

:06:28.:06:32.

than anybody! It would be the best way of thanking the best dance

:06:33.:06:35.

partner I could ask for for everything she has given me. The

:06:36.:06:40.

lift that Glitterball with Oti would just mean the world to me. If I got

:06:41.:06:44.

to win the Glitterball Trophy, it would have pride of place on the

:06:45.:06:48.

Christmas dinner table! I definitely think that is something you would

:06:49.:06:52.

want to tell the grandchildren about. It would be the greatest

:06:53.:06:55.

achievement of my life. It would be something I'm proud of for ever.

:06:56.:06:59.

It would mean so much to all three of our finalists.

:07:00.:07:03.

And they have just one last chance to win your votes.

:07:04.:07:06.

First to perform their favourite routine of the series

:07:07.:07:08.

is Ore and his partner, Joanne.

:07:09.:07:10.

This Jive scored them 39 out of 40 first time

:07:11.:07:16.

Can they improve on that score and possibly run

:07:17.:07:19.

I knew I was going to enjoy this, but I could not have imagined I

:07:20.:07:36.

would enjoy it as much as I have. This series of Strictly for me has

:07:37.:07:41.

been absolutely incredible. I didn't know that I could achieve the things

:07:42.:07:46.

that I have done. I watched some of our performances back and you almost

:07:47.:07:52.

think, who is that guy? Seeing his progress from a non-dancer to this

:07:53.:07:55.

moment is unbelievable for me. Movies week was when my Strictly

:07:56.:08:02.

dream really came to life. When we dance it, you could feel there was

:08:03.:08:06.

magic. I'm astounded how good that was!

:08:07.:08:11.

Need in the rain was when the dream was realised, Jive was when it was

:08:12.:08:18.

blown out of the water. He just went out there and he absolutely smashed

:08:19.:08:21.

it, which I'm very proud about. A star is born! Is to get the three

:08:22.:08:28.

tenors, cue the a gain! -- tens. It is not nice being in the

:08:29.:08:36.

dance-off, it is devastating. This thing that you now love could be

:08:37.:08:40.

gone. Just like that. But you have to go through the lows to appreciate

:08:41.:08:45.

Baha'is. Having this experience with Joel on my side has made it even

:08:46.:08:52.

more special -- to appreciate Baha'is. I had no idea that I would

:08:53.:08:57.

make one of the best friends I have in the world. Ore is one of the

:08:58.:09:04.

kindest and sweetest people I have ever met in my entire life. I have

:09:05.:09:09.

found an absolute best friend forever will stop it has just been

:09:10.:09:14.

incredible. He has been wonderful. You could not

:09:15.:09:19.

do this without the support of the people closest to you. If it was not

:09:20.:09:23.

for my wife, I would not have been able to do this.

:09:24.:09:28.

Ore makes me so proud because he works so hard, he really amazes me

:09:29.:09:34.

every single week. I'm the proudest wife. You are amazing and I love you

:09:35.:09:39.

so, so much. I'm so glad that we get to do this

:09:40.:09:45.

Jive a gain. We know what it takes to get 39 so we are going to put

:09:46.:09:48.

everything into getting that extra mark. It is our last dance together.

:09:49.:09:55.

We have had moments to savour but I really want this to be one we never,

:09:56.:09:58.

ever forget. Come here!

:09:59.:10:04.

Learning to dance is a real adventure and I have loved every

:10:05.:10:09.

Dancing their Jive, in a bid to be your Strictly

:10:10.:10:13.

Come Dancing Champions, Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton.

:10:14.:10:15.

I know that's your favourite, but I think a few other

:10:16.:12:26.

Your stamina is unreal, did you enjoyed it, Craig? I can't bear it,

:12:27.:12:41.

you are so good! I have nothing to complain about, I hate that!

:12:42.:12:49.

Absolutely virtuosic! My favourite Craig comment ever!

:12:50.:12:55.

Darcey. I was impressed in week four and even more impressed. How do you

:12:56.:13:00.

keep that cool? The repetition, the stamina. The sharpness and the

:13:01.:13:06.

cleanness of those kicks and flicks. You know how to perfect, you know

:13:07.:13:09.

how to work and that is a true dancer.

:13:10.:13:13.

Has he done enough? Well, it is people like you that give me the

:13:14.:13:29.

most pleasure on Strictly. People with no dance background at all. And

:13:30.:13:36.

gradually, as the weeks go by, you grow to love dancing and we grow to

:13:37.:13:41.

love watching Hugh. Ore, you are in the spirit of Strictly. What a

:13:42.:13:52.

lovely thing to say. Bruno. I'm so glad I was right the first time

around. Your star is shining brighter than ever! That was sheer

:13:59.:14:01.

perfection! Sheer perfection, he is the spirit

of Strictly. They are stamping their feet in appreciation in the studio

:14:14.:14:20.

audience. Goodness me! I think they liked it. That is your last dance

:14:21.:14:22.

together tonight. They've done all they

:14:23.:14:23.

can, but have you? The information for all three

:14:24.:14:32.

finalists is on the screen now, CHEERING

:14:33.:14:48.

Well done. Very, very well done. That is

:14:49.:14:52.

your... I don't want to say it because I don't want to make you

:14:53.:14:56.

cry, that is the last time you will dance together.

:14:57.:14:59.

I know you wanted to give it absolutely everything. When I met

:15:00.:15:03.

you in Roehampton and it was August, September and you were like, I will

:15:04.:15:09.

last two weeks maximum, EU are in the final. Can I just say thank you

:15:10.:15:15.

for working so hard? You are speechless. I don't know how you are

:15:16.:15:20.

going back to the football, but we will see. Good luck with that. There

:15:21.:15:26.

is a swimming gala in Hull next week, good luck with that!

:15:27.:15:28.

CHEERING That is 40.

:15:29.:15:55.

Very, very well done. Tameka almost just exploded. Are you happy? This

:15:56.:15:59.

girl is everything. Thank you. Danny loses his shirt

:16:00.:16:00.

in the rainforest. If you're playing cards

:16:01.:16:03.

against the animals, don't. The next couple with their last

:16:04.:16:05.

chance to impress you tonight is Louise and her partner,

:16:06.:16:13.

Kevin. Their favourite dance is the

:16:14.:16:14.

Argentine Tango, from Week Seven. It's a dance that's packed

:16:15.:16:20.

with drama, tension and emotion. And it's perfect for tonight,

:16:21.:16:23.

as this could be the routine that I'm kind of shocked, excited,

:16:24.:16:42.

amazed. In a million years I never thought I'd be here until the very

:16:43.:16:48.

end of Strictly. It's been absolutely incredible.

:16:49.:16:53.

I've had the most amazing series. I've learnt some incredible dancers.

:16:54.:16:57.

Who gets to learn the Argentine tango and the Viennese waltz? These

:16:58.:17:02.

are not just things that you get the opportunity to learn.

:17:03.:17:06.

I think my breakthrough moment, I had a week where Len said I had

:17:07.:17:10.

plateaued. Something had to happen to give you the extra boost.

:17:11.:17:16.

I thought, I can carry on doing what I am doing or really try to up my

:17:17.:17:19.

game. The Argentine tango was the first

:17:20.:17:23.

time I got ten. I really and truly loved it.

:17:24.:17:28.

It was such a great dance. I was proud as punch.

:17:29.:17:32.

There is something extra special about watching her just living every

:17:33.:17:39.

dance. The paso at Blackpool was my most memorable dance. When I watch

:17:40.:17:43.

it I am shocked that I did that, because I know what I am like, I am

:17:44.:17:47.

not that fears. I was blown away tonight with that.

:17:48.:17:52.

Fantastic. Good god I truly do not think I would still be in this

:17:53.:17:56.

competition without Kevin as apartment. He has been brilliant and

:17:57.:18:00.

we laugh from the moment we come into training until we go home.

:18:01.:18:06.

I feel like I have found a really good friend. Her confidence, I know

:18:07.:18:10.

she was battling at the beginning and she keeps saying she does not

:18:11.:18:15.

want to let me down. There is nothing but she can do that

:18:16.:18:19.

would let me down. It is an experience that you have

:18:20.:18:24.

together that I think only if you're in it you can really appreciate what

:18:25.:18:33.

it is about. I am going to cry. So proud of her, so to see her grow

:18:34.:18:38.

and do better and better has been lovely to see, it takes your breath

:18:39.:18:43.

away. Bring back the Glitterball Trophy,

:18:44.:18:48.

we love you. Don't forget, keep dancing!

:18:49.:18:52.

I just had to go at the Argentine tango again with more gusto.

:18:53.:18:57.

I think that it is not like this is our last week training. I am really

:18:58.:19:01.

going to miss you. It's going to be really strange.

:19:02.:19:05.

What I have learned through this experience, don't have any regrets,

:19:06.:19:10.

give it everything you have in life. I will definitely walk away with a

:19:11.:19:14.

heart full of pride, without a shadow of the doubt.

:19:15.:19:15.

It has been incredible. VO: Dancing their Argentine Tango,

:19:16.:19:19.

in a bid to be your Strictly Come Dancing Champions,

:19:20.:19:22.

Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton. Oh, they are on their feet in the

:19:23.:21:25.

studio. Lovely, Louise. I love it when you do drama.

:21:26.:21:26.

We thought it was good the first time

:21:27.:21:28.

Darcey, what did you think the second time

:21:29.:21:31.

One special Argentine tango. The intensity you brought again, the

:21:32.:21:40.

power, the control, the balance and every recovery from every lunch and

:21:41.:21:45.

lift was perfect. You are one beautiful lady of the night.

:21:46.:21:50.

Stunning. Len? Throughout the series, you have

:21:51.:21:57.

been, and I have to do this, forgive me, my most consistent dancer. You

:21:58.:22:03.

have never had a... Seven! It has been eight and above the whole time.

:22:04.:22:09.

Watching that dance shows why, you truly deserve to be in this final.

:22:10.:22:13.

APPLAUSE Would they be worthy winners, Bruno?

:22:14.:22:20.

What do you expect after this Argentine sparkler? I'm telling you,

:22:21.:22:26.

sultry, sensuous, quality of movement astonishing. But what you

:22:27.:22:30.

have that really thrills me is the way that you approach the musical

:22:31.:22:36.

phrasing in the dance. Nothing is ever even, you managed to stretch a

:22:37.:22:40.

phrase right to the last moment until you go to the next faster bit,

:22:41.:22:45.

hold back, go into it with a musicality that is absolutely

:22:46.:22:47.

gorgeous. APPLAUSE

:22:48.:22:52.

Craig? I'm so pleased that the audience at

:22:53.:22:58.

home are deciding, because that was superlative, darling.

:22:59.:23:01.

That's what the judges think, but it's up to the viewers

:23:02.:23:03.

Who do you want to lift the Glitterball Trophy?

:23:04.:23:10.

All the information you need to vote is on screen now.

:23:11.:23:23.

That was phenomenal. It was your favourite dance, what has been your

:23:24.:23:30.

favourite thing about Strictly? For me, the whole experience has just

:23:31.:23:34.

been... It's been really incredible, I wasn't expecting to love that the

:23:35.:23:38.

way have. I've met some amazing people, danced with a great guy

:23:39.:23:43.

every day who has taught me so much, just being part of it has been

:23:44.:23:45.

incredible. We love that dance. Well done. The

:23:46.:23:48.

scores are written. -- in. Look at your face. Well done, Kevin

:23:49.:24:09.

and Louise. It'll be like a school

:24:10.:24:13.

reunion, but fun. And now with their final

:24:14.:24:17.

throw of the dice, it's Danny and his partner,

:24:18.:24:24.

Oti. Their favourite

:24:25.:24:26.

routine is the Samba. It's the only Samba in Strictly

:24:27.:24:32.

history that's ever This is Danny and Oti's last chance

:24:33.:24:34.

to prove they deserve to be Strictly has easily been the best

:24:35.:24:55.

experience of my life, without a shadow of a doubt. That performance

:24:56.:25:00.

on a Saturday night is the best feeling, there is nothing else I

:25:01.:25:03.

have done that even compares. We are so lucky to have this opportunity.

:25:04.:25:08.

This show has been going so well. It is a different challenge each week

:25:09.:25:12.

but I seem to be overcoming it, up until that foxtrot. There is a

:25:13.:25:16.

stumble and my body did not know what it would do next. Thankfully, I

:25:17.:25:27.

had the most incredible person drag me to the next point of my memory

:25:28.:25:30.

and we managed to pick it up. This entire experience is nothing

:25:31.:25:32.

without Oti. She has been the most amazing teacher. And not just about

:25:33.:25:39.

how to dance. About myself as well. You got this. I've had literally the

:25:40.:25:44.

best partner anybody could ever ask for.

:25:45.:25:47.

The charleston at Blackpool was pretty special. Fantastic.

:25:48.:25:55.

Unbelievable. Fabulous. It was incredible to get that first 40 when

:25:56.:26:00.

all of the judges agreed. My family and friends are the

:26:01.:26:04.

greatest people in the world. He is genuinely the nicest guy you will

:26:05.:26:09.

ever, ever meet. Every week you seems to grow in confidence. You are

:26:10.:26:15.

almost there, I hope you can win. Smash it and bring that little home.

:26:16.:26:20.

I could not be proud of. To have them behind you the whole way means

:26:21.:26:24.

so much. My beautiful, gorgeous fiancee has

:26:25.:26:27.

been there for me when I have not necessarily been there for her.

:26:28.:26:32.

She has made this possible, they all have, and I could never, ever have

:26:33.:26:36.

done it without them. He has just made me the happiest

:26:37.:26:40.

person, so thank you for that, Danny Mac.

:26:41.:26:44.

We get to dance favourite dance, which is going to be...

:26:45.:26:49.

The samba! We chose the samba because it was the highlight of the

:26:50.:26:53.

series for us. It was the first time I went out and I was myself on the

:26:54.:26:59.

dance floor, having the time of my life.

:27:00.:27:02.

This has been the best experience ever, and if it is going to end, it

:27:03.:27:07.

should end with a bang. This dance has to be exactly what it

:27:08.:27:13.

was the first time, fun, full of energy and represent everything we

:27:14.:27:19.

have been through. We are at team. Yes, we are. Let's go out and do

:27:20.:27:22.

that one last time. Yes. VO: Dancing their Samba,

Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse. You brought the house down! Danny

:27:31.:29:56.

Mac and Oti! Oh, my goodness me! That was heart! Goodness me! I think

:29:57.:30:02.

people wanted to join in with you, myself included!

:30:03.:30:02.

The make-up lady came up to my room and she decided not to put any on.

:30:03.:30:20.

She said, you can't improve on perfection! It was perfect last time

:30:21.:30:25.

and if anything, it had a little more control and it was even more

:30:26.:30:31.

perfect this time round. Bruno. I feel restless, like a caged

:30:32.:30:41.

animal! I tell you, you were two magnificent animals. Sex on legs!

:30:42.:30:47.

Another one for the history books. It will never be forgotten, I

:30:48.:30:51.

guarantee you. I think you are right, Bruno!

:30:52.:30:57.

Steady on! Craig. One word, three syllables, beginning with...

:30:58.:31:08.

Fabulous! Darcey. I have to say anything, but

:31:09.:31:16.

the articulation of those body isolations and your very very

:31:17.:31:20.

abandonment, my gosh! A winning combination! And Unforgettable

:31:21.:31:25.

samba. Yes! One for the history books. Oti

Both! I don't like crying on TV! Talk to Ore. Sorry, sorry. Everyone.

:32:28.:32:35.

It was so fantastic. You must have adored that dance. I absolutely

:32:36.:32:39.

loved it first time and I just wanted to go out and have the best

time. Oti has taught me so much. These guys have been incredible, the

thoroughly enjoyed it - and many of you wanted to

:37:09.:37:10.

share with us why you've loved watching Strictly

:37:11.:37:12.

Strictly this year was amazing. It gets better and better each time.

:37:13.:37:32.

The costumes and the make-up. The music absolutely just fills the

:37:33.:37:35.

place! Saturday night is fantastic and it would not be the same without

:37:36.:37:40.

Strictly. The dancing has been amazing this year. I love the paso

:37:41.:37:45.

doble Louise in Blackpool. She is really good, I was so impressed. My

:37:46.:37:50.

favourite dance of the series was Aljaz and Daisy and 33 macro. I

:37:51.:38:00.

loved Naga. And I loved Laura. She is so good. We loved Tameka and if

:38:01.:38:05.

she had stayed, she would find her feet. I loved Claudia. The attention

:38:06.:38:09.

to detail and the way she perfected them in one week was superb.

:38:10.:38:15.

Remember when she did the Argentine tango? Your balance and control, I

:38:16.:38:20.

was totally taken away. I love Darcey. She always sees the

:38:21.:38:24.

positive. The like this in your feet was not what I was expecting. The

:38:25.:38:29.

Quickstep. She did that charleston and the high kick. Anton du Beke,

:38:30.:38:37.

you would want him to be your partner, very charming. The

:38:38.:38:40.

professional dancers had been amazing this year. I love a bit of

:38:41.:38:46.

Brendan! Remember when he was ill? You look different. He came to the

:38:47.:38:51.

rescue and was the knight in shining armour for Anastascia. The dancers

:38:52.:38:59.

have been amazing. I like AJ. Katya was brilliant. She choreographed to

:39:00.:39:04.

bring the best out of him. I like Oksana. Judge Rinder is phenomenal.

:39:05.:39:09.

He has been a big surprise. This remind you of anybody? Greg was

:39:10.:39:15.

brilliant, he did it for the gingers! You lost a bit of dignity

:39:16.:39:19.

when you did that bottom grind. I was made up! I have only got a four!

:39:20.:39:28.

Craig this year has been nicer than any other year. Fantastic!

:39:29.:39:33.

Brilliant! Incredible! What has happened to Craig? Fabulous! The

:39:34.:39:39.

talent has been amazing. The men have stolen the show. Danny Mac was

:39:40.:39:46.

brilliant. Oti is a brilliant choreography. I'm hyperventilating!

:39:47.:39:50.

Bruno never fails to make me laugh. He is very one point. What are you

:39:51.:39:55.

doing to me? My favourite bit was the Bollywood dancing. It was fun!

:39:56.:40:00.

We should do that! Do you remember Melvin? Why did he have two weeks so

:40:01.:40:05.

soon shaking like that? That is a winning move. Ore normally sit

:40:06.:40:09.

there, did you think he had that in him? He is fantastic, and knew he

:40:10.:40:15.

would be brilliant. I have never seen a celebrity cry so much in this

:40:16.:40:19.

series! I thought he had something in his eyes. I loved Tameka! She is

:40:20.:40:27.

also crying. Claudia and Tess, Strictly all over. The dancing has

:40:28.:40:31.

been out of this world. It really has. In terms of my own enjoyment of

:40:32.:40:39.

it, I would also say two words, Ed Balls. Somebody stop me! Ed Balls

:40:40.:40:45.

may does want to go and learn how to dance. Ed Balls, you are more like

:40:46.:40:50.

Lottery balls! You never know what will happen next. Gangnam. You would

:40:51.:40:55.

never think that was Ed Balls a politician. I don't know how he will

:40:56.:41:00.

get back to politics after that. 100%, you are the people's champion!

:41:01.:41:07.

Who will they were yet to replace Len? Len, we are really going to

:41:08.:41:12.

miss you! Goodman, Goodman, great man! Well done! Se-ven!! Come on!

:41:13.:41:21.

The best we ever! The entire production has been pretty

:41:22.:41:23.

fantastic. I don't know how I will thought my Saturday nights!

the winners very shortly. While the vote is counted

and independently verified let's focus

:45:37.:45:38.

on one particular man. He's been here since the very

:45:39.:45:42.

beginning, heading up the judging panel,

:45:43.:45:44.

casting an eye over the routines and quietly

:45:45.:45:46.

pickling his walnuts. He calls himself a cup of tea

:45:47.:45:49.

in a world of skinny We, are of course,

:45:50.:45:52.

talking about Len Goodman. The one and only.

:45:53.:46:10.

When you consider how long Len and I have been judging, it is quite

:46:11.:46:15.

unbelievable we're here now, so many series later. How do you describe

:46:16.:46:23.

Len Goodman? The perfect gentleman. Let is brilliant, clever, kind.

:46:24.:46:28.

Really good fun. Bites at the screen. The perfect gent. He

:46:29.:46:35.

commands authority. Has an aura about him. Very, very down-to-earth,

:46:36.:46:41.

no-nonsense. That is what I like about him.

:46:42.:46:51.

He has the passion for the knowledge but here's a great entertainer as

:46:52.:46:52.

well. He brings joy to people. They were

:46:53.:46:55.

fantastic. That is why people love him.

:46:56.:47:00.

You want all the judges to like you, but you want Len to love you. He is

:47:01.:47:05.

the man you want to impress. He is the person you look to for the big

:47:06.:47:10.

moments. Fantastic choreography. Getting a

:47:11.:47:15.

ten from Len feel so special. To get a ten from Len is what it is all

:47:16.:47:20.

about. He actually gave me a standing

:47:21.:47:24.

ovation, that was one of the best feelings.

:47:25.:47:27.

If you know you're not going to get a ten, you would really like a

:47:28.:47:32.

seven. I love him. He has the best

:47:33.:47:38.

one-liners. I'm going to pickle my walnuts. Winner, winner, chicken

:47:39.:47:47.

dinner! A go! Such a character. A gem of a performance.

:47:48.:47:55.

He is a ballroom genius. I think Len sums up Strictly Come Dancing. For

:47:56.:48:00.

me, he will be sorely missed. It has been amazing and I have made

:48:01.:48:04.

not only a fantastic colleague but a very, very good friend. You are

:48:05.:48:09.

extraordinarily and I will miss you. From the bottom of our hearts, we

:48:10.:48:13.

love you. You will always be a part of this

:48:14.:48:18.

family, we will miss you every week. Thank you for the lattice, thank you

:48:19.:48:22.

for the memories. I love you, we will miss you.

:48:23.:48:28.

I am going to miss our giggles, but fingers crossed I get to dance with

:48:29.:48:32.

you on that dance floor again. CHEERING

:48:33.:48:44.

They won't stop, I don't blame them. CHEERING

:48:45.:49:04.

Len, thank you so much. We'll miss you terribly, what will

:49:05.:49:05.

you miss most about Strictly? I will miss everything about the

:49:06.:49:17.

show. I promise you. I will miss just turning up and the anticipation

:49:18.:49:22.

of what is going to occur. I will miss what I consider the three best

:49:23.:49:28.

judges on television on any of these type of shows. Being close to the

:49:29.:49:34.

band and listening to the fabulous singers. I will miss you. I think

:49:35.:49:38.

the whole thing, it is like a big machine with cogs. And every cog has

:49:39.:49:44.

to work to make the whole thing happen. You know, we will miss you,

:49:45.:49:51.

Len, you would miss any of the cogs, that is what makes Strictly into

:49:52.:49:56.

Strictly. I will miss it all. Thank you so much, Len.

:49:57.:49:58.

You've given us so many unforgettable moments

:49:59.:50:00.

over the past 14 series, but what's your stand-out moment?

:50:01.:50:04.

With a classic ballroom routine for our classic ballroom boy -

:50:05.:50:10.

Len, this is just for you - please welcome our

:50:11.:50:12.

# May each day in the week be a good day

:50:13.:50:28.

# And may all of your hopes turn to wishes

:50:29.:50:48.

May all of your daydreams be memories.

:50:49.:51:00.

# Bay all of your memories be sweet. # The weeks turn two months.

:51:01.:51:08.

# And the months into years. The ruck there will be sadness and joy.

:51:09.:51:17.

# There will be laughter and tears. # But one thing I prayed, to heaven

:51:18.:51:25.

above. # May each of your days be a day

:51:26.:51:30.

full of love. # May each day in the year

:51:31.:51:38.

be a good day # May each dawn find you

:51:39.:51:40.

happy and gay # And may all of your

:51:41.:51:45.

days be as lovely # As the one you shared

:51:46.:51:54.

with me today # May each day of your life

:51:55.:52:03.

be a good day Thank you to our amazing

:52:04.:52:13.

professional dancers. They'll be back on the floor very

:52:14.:52:49.

soon for a massive group number That was so beautiful. Wasn't it?

:52:50.:53:08.

Thank you, Len. APPLAUSE

:53:09.:53:22.

CHEERING You are a gentleman.

:53:23.:53:24.

We met them back back in September, when the pros returned

:53:25.:53:27.

from Planet Strictly and were paired up with their brand new partners.

:53:28.:53:29.

And I think they all agree their time on the show has

:53:30.:53:32.

It is quite nice to be back. Like coming home. That first day standing

:53:33.:53:48.

behind the rocket, waiting to be revealed. I was so nervous. Just

:53:49.:53:53.

before it took off I turned to Lesley and said, is it too late to

:53:54.:53:58.

promote? And then the rocket went up.

:53:59.:54:01.

It just felt like a dream, is this really happening? Are we really

:54:02.:54:04.

doing this? People were cheering us, we had to

:54:05.:54:10.

do a catwalk procession. You had press,.

:54:11.:54:18.

That is what it felt like, you were actually on the show. It was the

:54:19.:54:21.

most magical, sparkling experience of my life. Such an incredible buzz,

:54:22.:54:25.

the anticipation, who would you be partnered with?

:54:26.:54:31.

I thought, who will play Pammy with? Oksana! I had an intuitive sense

:54:32.:54:40.

that we would hit it off. AJ! Being paired with Janette was the best

:54:41.:54:45.

thing about the show for me. When I got Anton I leapt in the air and

:54:46.:54:53.

landed, luckily, he caught me. Started dancing! I really loved the

:54:54.:54:58.

training. You became enthralled in wanting to learn these dancers.

:54:59.:55:03.

Trying to retrain your feet. My body did not know what had hit it. Sweat

:55:04.:55:10.

in my eyes. Ridiculous. I learned very early that dancing was as much

:55:11.:55:15.

about what you don't move as what you do. There is so much more to

:55:16.:55:19.

dancing when you realise. I was terrified on the first live

:55:20.:55:24.

show, I did not know what to expect, the lights and the audience, a bit

:55:25.:55:32.

daunting. Breathe deeply and concentrate. This is it. Showtime!

:55:33.:55:37.

It was the most crazy, extraordinary and deliciously frightening

:55:38.:55:41.

experience I could ever remember. I will enjoy every single moment. A

:55:42.:55:48.

brilliant, brilliant sensation. One I will remember forever. Those 90

:55:49.:55:53.

seconds of dancing, no one can ever take away from you. I was really

:55:54.:55:58.

quite scared of going in front of the judges, I remember the fear.

:55:59.:56:02.

Once you have rehearsed for a whole week you do not want to hear

:56:03.:56:05.

anything negative. That is a site I don't think I ever

:56:06.:56:10.

wish to see again. Craik was tough but there was always

:56:11.:56:14.

a twinkle in his eye. Bruno makes you feel so at ease. You would bring

:56:15.:56:23.

the dead back to life! Eagle-eyed Len knows everything, the ballroom

:56:24.:56:27.

expert. At the end of the waltz, Darcey said, get into character and

:56:28.:56:32.

performed the dance. Two weeks later I had a green face. Theme weeks are

:56:33.:56:38.

what makes Strictly Come Dancing. Movie Week was great fun, I was a

:56:39.:56:45.

spy. Halloween week was amazing. The costumes, colour and atmosphere were

:56:46.:56:49.

extraordinary. Plus I got to come down on a wire, it is the most fun I

:56:50.:56:54.

have pretty much ever had. Strictly is a roller-coaster, highs and lows.

:56:55.:57:05.

Probably the most difficult thing on the show is dancing off against

:57:06.:57:07.

someone you have loved seeing grow. I don't think anybody can prepare

:57:08.:57:09.

for the red light. The dance-off is so hard, you want

:57:10.:57:14.

to do as well as you can stay in this incredible competition.

:57:15.:57:17.

I always knew our time would run out, I could never match the quality

:57:18.:57:22.

of the guys in the final. I never knew how much doing Strictly

:57:23.:57:28.

was going to end in meaning to me. Never did I expect to love dance,

:57:29.:57:32.

that has been, for me, the most incredible change.

:57:33.:57:38.

You can't beat that. My Strictly experience was everything and more

:57:39.:57:41.

than I thought it would be. An experience like no other. I'm so

:57:42.:57:47.

pleased I took part, it has made me more confident as a person.

:57:48.:57:52.

Strictly has reminded me that however difficult something maybe,

:57:53.:57:55.

if you invest all your passion you can succeed in anything. It has been

:57:56.:58:03.

an amazing reminder. It has been very joyous, something I

:58:04.:58:07.

am grateful to have been part of. I learned to dance, I laughed, I

:58:08.:58:11.

loved it and would not have missed it for the world. Exciting. Sparkly.

:58:12.:58:20.

Exhilarating. Incredible. Just incredible.

:58:21.:58:23.

Three months ago, we confused 15 celebrities with talk of kicks,

:58:24.:58:25.

They listened, they learned, and now they're back.

:58:26.:58:31.

Please welcome, for one final time...

:58:32.:58:32.

We'll announce your winner in just a few moments' time.

:58:33.:02:14.

And while this series will soon come to an end,

:02:15.:02:17.

we do have something very special for you on Christmas Day.

:02:18.:02:27.

Hello and welcome to Strictly Come Dancing. The Christmas Special.

:02:28.:02:40.

Merry Christmas! It promises to be a blockbuster of a

:02:41.:02:47.

show! Bring on the pigs in blankets! I have got to say you got my bed

:02:48.:02:54.

balls bouncing! Gorka, I'm here! Please welcome Matt

:02:55.:02:59.

Goss! Amazing. Yes!

:03:00.:03:09.

Don't miss that on Christmas Day at 6:45pm.

:03:10.:03:14.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Ed Balls, you even capable? When you

:03:15.:03:28.

walk down the street, do people shout, just do Gangnam. They do it

:03:29.:03:36.

in the playground, the station, it is wonderful. The show is made by

:03:37.:03:39.

the people at home and vote and join in and they love it and we love it

:03:40.:03:44.

enjoying it so much, such a special experience, thank you. Thank you so

:03:45.:03:48.

much. When a lot of people finish the show, they say, I'm going to

:03:49.:03:52.

continue to dance and they've an enormous leap. But you have

:03:53.:03:57.

continued! Thank you to Strictly and Aljaz, I will dance every day for

:03:58.:04:02.

the rest of my life! It is sweet to have totally taken it on. 100%, I

:04:03.:04:07.

love it so much and I can't live a day without dancing any more, I

:04:08.:04:11.

really can't, so thank you. Thank you so much. Tameka, are you happy

:04:12.:04:16.

with the finalists? We have missed you so much, can you stay here every

:04:17.:04:21.

day? I'm available, we could work it out, guys! Let me tell you, the

:04:22.:04:29.

final is so, I can't find the right words right now. Good, that is one

:04:30.:04:36.

word! But the energy is so good. But we are in it together! We are, and I

:04:37.:04:42.

have said the camaraderie is extraordinary. I'm not making it up,

:04:43.:04:49.

you two, you have started going on holiday together! Together on

:04:50.:04:54.

Christmas Day! That is the beauty of the show, you get close as a group

:04:55.:04:58.

and we had the opportunity to go on holiday together and we had a good

:04:59.:05:06.

time! Everybody is invited! Were going! Strictly love!

:05:07.:05:09.

We will soon find out whether you have chosen Ore,

:05:10.:05:11.

Louise or Danny as your Strictly champion, but here's our judges'

:05:12.:05:14.

This series has been fantastic. The most unpredictable, surprising,

:05:15.:05:34.

entertaining Strictly ever! The standard of dancing is

:05:35.:05:41.

absolutely unbelievable! Danny, the ultimate showman. What a

:05:42.:05:48.

dance delight. Danny boy! The amount of detail that has gone into their

:05:49.:05:54.

dances is outstanding. The charleston and Blackpool. The acting

:05:55.:05:58.

and the telling the story, I adored that. You could not even tell he was

:05:59.:06:03.

not one of the professionals. Spectacular levels. Full of fun and

:06:04.:06:08.

entertainment. Danny is the only guy that has ever had a 40 for a samba.

:06:09.:06:13.

It was a masterclass in how to deliver the best technique.

:06:14.:06:21.

It had to be four tens. Ten! Louise, great dancer, wonderful

:06:22.:06:30.

musicality. She has this lovely, natural charm about her. She looks

:06:31.:06:36.

so graceful. There is an elegance. Louise was not very confident in the

:06:37.:06:40.

beginning. And the nerves were just, you could see her covered in them.

:06:41.:06:46.

I'm shaking! And then she did one routine that just changed

:06:47.:06:50.

everything. She did the Argentine tango and we

:06:51.:06:55.

saw a different lady on the dance floor! She showed personality, she

:06:56.:06:59.

was doing the kicks and the flicks. They proved they deserve a place in

:07:00.:07:03.

the final. In week ten, we had a beautiful

:07:04.:07:07.

waltz and you saw she had the confidence to perform on her own.

:07:08.:07:10.

She has grown into a really fantastic dancer.

:07:11.:07:19.

Ore was a surprise. For someone that has never trained before, to have

:07:20.:07:22.

that amount of technique is extraordinary. His emotional

:07:23.:07:27.

commitment is outstanding. What I love the Ore, he goes out and he

:07:28.:07:32.

just gives it everything. Great technique, great musicality. He

:07:33.:07:38.

always nail is not just the dance, but a different character.

:07:39.:07:43.

Suave, slightly cheeky magical character. Ore's jive, one of the

:07:44.:07:49.

best I have seen on Strictly. Everybody went mad for it. That was

:07:50.:07:53.

when I thought, you have a chance of getting to the final.

:07:54.:07:58.

The final three deserve to be there because they are extraordinary. They

:07:59.:08:03.

all have something very special to give. All of them really could have

:08:04.:08:11.

been the win as any other season. If I have got to leave after any

:08:12.:08:13.

If I have got to leave after any series, I'm so glad it is this one.

:08:14.:08:23.

Hundreds of hours in the training room, three months of performing

:08:24.:08:25.

live all boil down to this one moment.

:08:26.:08:27.

Who will be the winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2016?

:08:28.:08:30.

The votes have been counted and independently verified

:08:31.:08:48.

and I can now reveal the Strictly Come Dancing

:08:49.:08:50.

I know! I don't want to make it worse. Look at your mum and dad!

:08:51.:09:52.

Look at your mum's face. Joanne, congratulations! Can you speak? Come

:09:53.:10:00.

forward. How does it feel? You are champions.

:10:01.:10:06.

OK, before you left the Glitterball, let's talk to the runners-up, Louise

:10:07.:10:10.

and Kevin, congratulations, you made it this far.

:10:11.:10:16.

Your sister is the winner. How much have you loved it? It has been

:10:17.:10:21.

incredible, amazing experience, everyone is amazing. I have made

:10:22.:10:25.

amazing friends and had the pleasure of watching my family here every

:10:26.:10:28.

week and I love you all very much. And the pleasure of dancing with

:10:29.:10:34.

Kevin. Thank you, let's hear it for Louise and Kevin. And now our other

:10:35.:10:40.

runners-up, Danny and Oti, you came so close and you have done such an

:10:41.:10:44.

incredible job and entertained everybody. Have you enjoyed

:10:45.:10:48.

yourself? I have made no secret about this being one of the best

:10:49.:10:53.

experiences of my life. It is incredible, so glad I have done it

:10:54.:10:56.

and met this woman, she has brought the best out of me, things I never

:10:57.:11:00.

thought I could do in a billion years and I'm so grateful to

:11:01.:11:05.

everybody who voted and the entire Strictly family. And the

:11:06.:11:09.

professionals have been so amazing! You've been wonderful, thank you so

:11:10.:11:10.

much. Before we make this official and

:11:11.:11:19.

hand over this trophy, Ore, can you speak? Would you like to say

:11:20.:11:24.

anything to Joanne? I love you with all of my heart. I'm so speechless,

:11:25.:11:29.

I just wanted to say thank you. I want to say thank you for everything

:11:30.:11:34.

that you have given me. You are the most incredible person. This has

:11:35.:11:39.

been the most incredible experience of my life, I have learned to dance,

:11:40.:11:44.

I have made a best friend, I have been on the show that I love for 12

:11:45.:11:55.

years. Every single one of you... I know you are watching. Happy

:11:56.:12:04.

birthday, France! Make up, the hair, the judges, Len. Claudia, Tess. And

:12:05.:12:12.

this is for you. Thank you. I'm speechless. I just can't believe...

:12:13.:12:21.

Just thank you for working so hard and you have become a dancer.

:12:22.:12:28.

You are a dancer! So sweet! We have greater pleasure in presenting the

:12:29.:12:33.

Glitterball Trophy to Ore and Joanne! Your Strictly Come Dancing

:12:34.:12:41.

:12:42.:12:48.

A huge thank you to all our amazing couples, to our wonderful judges.

:12:49.:12:52.

Len, we are going to miss you and we wish you all

:12:53.:12:55.

And, of course, thank you to every single one
