CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Please welcome your host, Tess Daly

Hello! Hello, Wembley!

What a fabulous way to kick off our Strictly results show from Wembley

arena. Let's hear you, Wembley! Incredible. Tonight is quite

frankly the biggest party on television, celebrating 25 years in

music, she's the Queen of pop, Kylie Minogue will be performing

later. We also have five pop Princesses,

Nadine, Sarah, Nicola, Cheryl and our very own Kimberley - yes, Girls

Aloud will be right here with their brand-new single!

Come on! Quite excited about that! On

Saturday night, our nine remaining couples rocked this arena as they

danced through the decades with some spectacular performances and

legendary routines. Talking of legends, Wembley, please welcome,

Craig, Darcey, Len and Bruno! The two couples with the lowest

points will have the honour of performing their routine at Wembley

for a second time. Unfortunately, it will be in the dance-off.

Then it's down to the judges to decide whose Strictly experience is

going to end as one couple will leave the competition. First, a

chance to relive all the action from Saturday night. It was good...

Can't believe I'm in Wembley. Really excited. Keep dancing

skhrams We love Strictly, don't we mum? We do. Extra time for Wembley.

To say I'm nervous is a bit of an understatement. It's Wembley.

been at this half an hour. Still can't get this right. Listen to

that noise. Cannot believe it. It's nearly time. It's only Wembley -

shut up! Five minutes. Is Wembley this way or that way? This way, OK.

Ha! Good luck, guys. Be performance level is great. You make everyone

feel fabulous when you're dancing. It was the bestest experience of my

entire life. It was big, darling, it was bold and it was actually

beautiful. That was a great jive. The style, the energy, straightaway

you've worked hard, I can see that. I thought Nick, it was quick, slick

and there was plenty of kicks and tricks. That is the best charleston

I've ever seen on Strictly. Woo-hoo. The dual of the Nile. It really was

a treasure. It wasn't bad, but you can do better. You know you can do

better, come on. Doing our dance out there was as scary as

completing in the Olympic Games. actually thought it was refreshing,

I actually liked the choreography. Save some of those tricks in case

you're in the final... It was a proper party. I'm not

talking up theer ware. Sometimes it was sketchy but the fun factor

compensated for it. That was so nerve-racking. You started so well,

with the shape in the arms, but I think you got overwhelmed with the

space and lost the focus. I thought it was pretty good so don't listen

to them. Fast, efficient, fearless. I loved it. Can't believe it.

That's the best feeling I've ever experienced in my life. Little Miss

Dynamite, you were fabulous! Kimberley, you can certainly shake

that Touche. Whole body, wooo... you're in the dance-off tomorrow,

I'll pick all my walnuts, I'm telling you. Fabulous. Someone's

been working hard, darling in the rehearsal room. It shows clearly.

Amazing feeling. I haven't had that feeling since probably 2005 when we

won the Ashes. It was a fitting I got all tremibly at Wembley. I

can't believe it. 6,000 screaming people. As far as I'm concerned,

bring it on - Wembley every week! I loved it!

An amazing night with some unforgettable performances. Nine

couples are all desperate to get here, but who stays and who goes?

In no particular order, the first couple safely through to next week

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 145 seconds

Surviving another week are... The next couple safe is...

Dancing again next Saturday are... The first couple in the dance-off

who will have to fight for survival is...

It's Richard and Erin. Everyone else, relax, if you can. We'll find

out who'll join Richard and Erin later on.

Now, Len, we've seen Richard in the dance-off twice before and he's

survived. What can he do to survive a third time? Well, you know, the

thing is with Richard, when I watch him and I think when everyone

watches him, we have fun and we enjoy it. We do. I think that's

what he's got to do, just come out, have fun, enjoy it and do what he

does best, come out and perform. And perform like never before?!

come on Richard! Thank you Len. Over to Claudia.

Thank you, Tess. We have four very happy couples enjoying their

Wembley experience. Well done Michael. Before we chat, I have to

talk to viewers in Scotland, we apologise and we apologise all of

us to you as a nation - we had a technical problem on Saturday night

which meant you couldn't see most of Michael's dance, although we

were back on air for the voting recap of all the dances. However,

as you can see, he's safe to dance another day and if you would like

to see what you missed, you can catch Michael's American smooth on

BBC iPlayer or the Strictly website. Be assured, all your votes have

been counted. Michael, you did so brilliantly on Saturday night. How

was it for you? The crowd will be extraordinary...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I danced and managed to get a nine from Craig,

Natalie's been great. We've absolutely loved the experience of

the Wembley arena, so thank you very much. Now you, not one ten,

not two, but three tens? I know, I'm so happy, thank you. It was a

dream to get one, but to get three, it was amazing. We all had a great

time but I've got a good teacher as well, I've been told to say that.

It's all about the teacher. know what I loved about you, you

were quite overcome weren't you? I know you were nervous, you went out

there, performed brilliantly, and then it just became too much?

was the most insane night of my life, but the best night of my life.

My family were here and to think that I've opened Wembley, I'll

never have that again in my life, you know, it's mind-blowing, all

thanks to that genius behind me. Amazing. If it's all right with

everyone, I would like us all to stand up for the next performance.

Thank you! They've been together for a decade and they've had 20

consecutive top ten hits. They're back with the official Children In

Need single, please give a mass aif Wembley welcome to Girls Aloud!

you, Claude. Please welcome the judges.

Come in. Beautiful, gorgeous. We don't do

this alone and I have a Wembley fact for you. That dance floor, six

times the size of the usual one, but we still have Len's Lens.

Nice wig. There you go. This is where it gets... Look at that! She

is magnificent. Arnold. Another one. Oh my God. And, why wouldn't we?!

The flasher. We are just getting all the information here - my

favourite thing first to Len, you boys were all friends - we should

explain, we've worked together for a long time, we love each other,

you love Tess, you get in a bumper car, this is what happens! Live it!

Competitive. Look at him! Look at you! I'm gonna get you...

Whiplash! Miss Whiplash - look! It was

brilliant. So funny. I loved the bumper. The dance was a sort of

mishmash you said? It's all to do with expectations. I thought it

would be a proper American smooth, maybe a bit of soft shoe shuffle,

but it was really a quickstep with lifts, that's how I felt. As much

as I liked it, it wasn't what I was expecting. We have clips of Lewis

rehearsing his American smooth. You are not wrong about it being a

mishmash. This is him rehearsing. Hello. Off you go. Look at Flavia

in a minute, she's not happy. She's like, Lewis, focus. Very funny.

Darcey, Michael and Natalie. That amazing blue bird lift which you

said was perfect? A blue bird on to the shoulder, yes. Look at his face,

he's like "I'm not going to drop her". "There I am, no problem".

There was quite few facial expressions there. Look at the

relief! But he did it beautifully? It came right at the end, the

hardest lift right at the end so he did very well. He got theatrical

with the arms outstretched. I loved it. Oh, my... Here we go. Very

supple. I love it. It must be his training. Very supple shoulder

joints. It must be the training throwing the ball, yes. You

particularly liked Denise's birdie flap? I love that step. Talk us

through it? It's never really been used in the charlestons on Strictly

and it's so lovely to see. being a flapper, you know all about

it! Well no, I just like the step, Bruno. Let's have a look. Great

steps. There it is, look. That's like an eagle coming into land. I

really, really love that. A great performance. They were identical.

It was the first ten of the series, the first ten of 2012. You didn't

give her a ten? No. She's gorgeous. She still needs to get her feet

together and just a little... SPEAK AT ONCE Don't start. He was

wrong last week, the week before with Nicky and wrong again tonight

with Denise. I don't know what's going on!

I don't want to start a row. Let's keep it joyful at Wembley. Yes,

friendly. Bruno, give us a commentary. Flying high, yes.

Indiana James, the Temple of Doom. And Craig. Adorable. Doing your own

birdie dance. Fantastic. It was amazing. It really was, everybody

was flying high. We've got you two rehearsing. One of you is

incredibly relaxed and one was probably tense. Oh, dear, probably

me. Craig taking pictures of I am not pleased! Let's hear it for

It's time to find out which couple will join Richard and Erin to fight

for the right to stay in Strictly as they have to dance again. Back

to you, Tess. Thank you, Claudia.

Now, there are four couples left but only three can join Claudia on

the sofas of safety. One couple is still in danger of leaving Strictly,

but who will it be? I have the results.

In no particular order, dancing again next Saturday are...

Also safe are... I didn't even hear our names. Did

they say us? That means Nicky and Karen and Kimberley and Pasha, one

of you is safe, one of you will have to dance again. I can reveal

the cup until the bottom two tonight is...

It's Nicky and Karen. So Kimberley and Pasha, congratulations, you are

Craig, you said that Nicky brought Elvis alive, he's a Wembley veteran,

why has he found himself in the bottom two? I think the audience

don't realise how much power they actually possess, they have 50% of

the vote and they can overturn any decision that we make, you see. So

you really have to get those votes in. And particularly in a dance-off

situation, he's got to be technical, as well as entertaining.

Basically he's got to be flawless? Perfection!

I'm afraid for Nicky. Thank you, Craig. Over to you, Claudia.

Thank you, Tess, I'm here with three very, ver relieved couples.

You are so sweet and brilliant with your girls, by the way. Thank you.

Marvellous. You just said to me, I thought I was in the dance-off?

was trying to get ready thinking, OK, does it start again. I'm so, so

grateful to not be - thank you! are so relieved? Yes. I said to you

are you all right and you said, I think I'm on the brink? On the

verge, yes. Hugely well done. Victoria, the best entrance I've

ever seen on a bike, magnificent and also you look sod relieved, you

and Brendan looked at each other and went "They voted for us".

were saved from the bottom again so thank you to everybody that voted

for us because we didn't deserve to be there really, did we with the

judges' scores, we should be in the dance-off. Huge congratulations.

Lewis, you split the judges again. Craig was on your side? We prepared

ourselfs to be in the bottom two just in case. I only cried once in

public, everyone knows when that was and this came close to being

the second time. Oh, I really want to make you cry. Then I can make

him feel better! Wembley, would you like some more

music? ALL: Yeah... She's a pop icon who's had over 50

hits in a career that spans four decades. Taking us back to the 80s

with her very first single Locomotion, go wild for the

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now (Come on baby do the

locomotion) I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now

# Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!"

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Kylie Minogue, everyone! The

atmosphere in here tonight is absolutely electric, I can't even

tell you, it's brilliant. Now, Claudia is with the bottom two

couples. Thank you, Tess. Here are Richard

and Erin and Nicky and Karen. They are ability to dance again. You

have an equal chance and it's all on the next dance. Yes. Len said he

thought it was fun in the sun, are you just going to go out and have

more fun and then win them over? I'm going to party like it's 1983

all over again which I do nightly. Brilliant. Good luck Richard and

Erin. Get into positions. Good luck, Karen, God bless you. Let's hear it

for Richard and Erin. Come on, Erin. Nicky and Karen, it must be a bit

of a shock to be in this position? I think every week it's a shock and

Kimberley last week, it's got to be somebody and it's us tonight and we

want to stay many the show so we've got to give it our best and see

what happens. Stkph Craig wanted technical perfection, you are going

to give him that? That's right. Please make an enormous amount of

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 145 seconds

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Who can you going to -- who are you

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 145 seconds

going to save? It's all down to CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done to both of you. Didn't they do great!?

Very, very, very best of luck to you both. It's time to find out

which of you will be back next week. Judges, it's decision time.

I am about to ask each of you the name of the-cum-you think deserves

to be saved. The couple with the most votes will stay in the

competition, meaning the other couple is out of Strictly Come

Dancing. In the event of a tie, head judge Len will have the

casting vote. Richard and Erin and Nicky and

Karen, you can do no more. The very best of luck.

Craig, who are you going to save? Just for sheer exuberance and

energy, I'm going to save Nicky and Karen. Darcey, who do you think

deserves to stay? Well, they both performed very well tonight. But it

has to go down to content and energy as well, I'm going to say

Nicky and Karen. Two votes to Nicky and Karen.

If Bruno now votes for you, that means you are safe, you are through

to neck week. Bruno, who do you want to keep in the competition?

Both highly entertaining but I have to go as well with power and

content and that was delivered by Nicky and Karen.

Congratulations. That means you are through to next week.

We are going to have to say goodbye to Richard and Erin! Come and join

me, guys. Len, I know it can't change, but

did you agree? I did, yes. Thank you very much, Len.

Richard, you've made to it Wembley. What are you going to miss the

most? I always thought I would miss the

wardrobe most, but I don't think that's going to happen. I will miss

Erin Boag who, every Monday, it's like climbing a mountain and I walk

up to it and she says "Welcome to another week" and I shall miss that

on Monday, but I'll take you out somewhere really special. Proud of

him? Never dance add step before. Richard has made the last two

months of my life a big joy. He's full of life and energy and I'm

really proud of taught you and danced with you and now call you my

friend. Me too. Love you. Richard and Erin, thank you. Enjoy that

last dance. We are really going to miss Richard and Erin. They leave

with their heads held high. You can see Strictly Come Dancing It Takes

Two on BBC Two at 6.30 on Monday with Zoe Ball. Go to

www.bbc.co.uk/strictly for more. Bruce will be back on Saturday with

the eight remaining couples will battle it out again. Join us at the
