0:03:55 > 0:03:58better. We better get ready. only thing I didn't like was the
0:03:58 > 0:04:04shoulder roll with the big pout before the lift. Len was the most
0:04:04 > 0:04:14critical and for him to give us a ten... Amazing.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20What a feeling! What a dance! To get four 10s is the best feeling
0:04:20 > 0:04:24in the world. Dani, you may be small but for me your talent is
0:04:24 > 0:04:30huge. That's two dances but I would love to be in the top three.

0:05:25 > 0:05:36

0:09:59 > 0:10:05They try to win your votes to become Strictly champions. First,
0:10:05 > 0:10:12to perform their personal favourite, it's Denise and James.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Here's their Strictly story.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21When we are on the dance floor and you are in Strictly it's the most
0:10:21 > 0:10:24exciting feeling. I have always had Strictly envoy watching other --
0:10:24 > 0:10:27envy watching other people dancing and I never really felt brave
0:10:27 > 0:10:32enough to do it before. Being there with the audience and the judges, I
0:10:32 > 0:10:36mean I have watched it on TV for so long, it's kind of surreal. Me and
0:10:36 > 0:10:40James haven't really had the smoothest of rides on this show.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Everything started really well. That was my cup of tea. Then we had
0:10:44 > 0:10:50mishaps and things went wrong. I got my heel caught in this. Then we
0:10:50 > 0:10:54have been in the dance-off twice. But I think that is also the joy of
0:10:54 > 0:10:57this show, because it keeps you on your toes. We never thought we
0:10:57 > 0:11:01would make the final, we hoped we would make the final. My favourite
0:11:01 > 0:11:08moment on Strictly is when we danced the salsa and James forgot
0:11:08 > 0:11:14the moves. I remember saying to Denise, don't worry, don't worry!
0:11:14 > 0:11:18will get us out of this. There have been times during this competition
0:11:18 > 0:11:22that have been really hard. James has been a massive support to me.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27He's always been there to pick me up. I don't mean throw me into a
0:11:27 > 0:11:32lift, I mean lifted my spirits. have loved the whole experience
0:11:32 > 0:11:37with her. The highs and the lows. So, for our favourite dance I left
0:11:37 > 0:11:41that down to Denise. She decided that she wanted to choose the
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Charleston. We wanted to do something that would really get the
0:11:44 > 0:11:50audience going and it's definitely that sort of dance where you can
0:11:50 > 0:11:55just go for it and have a really good time. She loved the dance. At
0:11:55 > 0:12:02Wembley, with 6,000 other people, the judges really highly praised us.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06The best Charleston I have ever seen on Strictly. No 10 from Craig.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10We are just hoping that we can get that all-important 10 from Craig
0:12:11 > 0:12:15because then we will finish on a real high. The Charleston will be
0:12:15 > 0:12:20our last dance together on the show, which is quite a sad thought, but I
0:12:20 > 0:12:23couldn't think of a better person to be dancing that dance with.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27things that I will miss most about training with James are the
0:12:27 > 0:12:32laughter that we have because I literally have laughed every day in
0:12:32 > 0:12:37training. I truly truly feel that I have met a friend for life. She's a
0:12:37 > 0:12:43really, really wonderful person. Yeah, it's quite sad to think it's
0:12:44 > 0:12:49going to be our last dance. Come on, let's go! Well done. Thank you. All
0:12:49 > 0:12:52the hard work, all the bruises, all the injuries have led to this, our
0:12:52 > 0:13:02final dance on Strictly. We are going to go out there and celebrate
0:13:02 > 0:13:17

0:15:33 > 0:15:42never forget you Charleston. Thank you! You can't say fairer than that.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Bruno. What a trouper. That was world class. I tell you my darling,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49you have technical ability, versatility, you have been pushed
0:15:49 > 0:15:54left right and centre, you have been thrown things I thought were
0:15:54 > 0:15:58impossible to do, and you did it with great panache or stop you have
0:15:58 > 0:16:06been fantastic, my darling. Whatever happens, you will go out
0:16:06 > 0:16:11of here with your help held high a -- your head. What a lovely thing
0:16:11 > 0:16:19to say. I stand by what I said, it is simply the best Charleston we
0:16:19 > 0:16:25have ever, ever, ever had on Strictly. La Macca we are! -- there
0:16:25 > 0:16:29we are! I think the same, it is a memorable Charleston. I had said
0:16:29 > 0:16:35this before but the attention to detail in that work is amazing,
0:16:35 > 0:16:41brilliant. You are a true professionals. You look like a true
0:16:41 > 0:16:51professional. You are wonderful. What a team. Off you go.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56
0:16:56 > 0:17:06We all loved it last time you danced the Charleston, how did it
0:17:06 > 0:17:07
0:17:07 > 0:17:12I am a bit sad it is the last dance. But thank you to everybody to get a
0:17:12 > 0:17:18stance it again because it meant a lot to us. What A Dance to go out.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Exactly. You are so close to the glitterball trophy. I have had such
0:17:23 > 0:17:30a brilliant time on Strictly that I am happy as I am, actually, so if
0:17:30 > 0:17:33we don't win... It would be lovely to but... I want to win! My wife
0:17:33 > 0:17:40has got one at home and I have never heard the end of it! I would
0:17:40 > 0:17:50love to get one for James, so pick up the phone! She leads me clean it
0:17:50 > 0:18:05
0:18:05 > 0:18:11and that is about it! The judges' That is a perfect score! Well
0:18:11 > 0:18:15deserved! It has been such an amazing series. Remember, the
0:18:15 > 0:18:17judges' scores tonight are just for guidance. It's you and you alone
0:18:17 > 0:18:22who decides who will become the Strictly Come Dancing champions
0:18:22 > 0:18:272012. If you want to have your say, just pick up the phone and vote for
0:18:27 > 0:18:34your winners. Who's next Bruce? Thanks, Tess. Next to tackle their
0:18:34 > 0:18:44favourite dance. Kimberley and Pasha. Let's take a look at their
0:18:44 > 0:18:49My Strictly Come Dancing experience has been extremely special. I never,
0:18:49 > 0:18:56ever thought that I would be taken by the Strictly Bargh quite the way
0:18:56 > 0:19:01I have been. It is lies. Millions are watching and there is pressure
0:19:01 > 0:19:05on you to make sure you do not let your partner down. Incandescent!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08right from the start, I knew Kimberley could do great things
0:19:08 > 0:19:14with dancing and my little job was just to make her believe in herself
0:19:14 > 0:19:20as much as I believe in her. did not like my Max foxtrot very
0:19:20 > 0:19:24much. Our expectations of you are huge and you have to do better than
0:19:24 > 0:19:28that. It is hard to take criticism like that when you have worked so
0:19:28 > 0:19:37hard but actually, it pushed me to make sure my next Baldwin Dance was
0:19:37 > 0:19:41an improvement. Kimberley Walsh? No, Kimberly waltz. When we were in the
0:19:41 > 0:19:48bottom two, I definitely thought my Strictly days were numbered. The
0:19:48 > 0:19:55thought that it would have ended at that point was not a nice feeling.
0:19:55 > 0:20:02The biggest turning point for us was when we got there first 10s,
0:20:02 > 0:20:07four! I do feel a bit like the comeback Kid. I struggled through
0:20:07 > 0:20:12for a little while. 10! suddenly I felt like I was on top
0:20:12 > 0:20:19and it was like, how did we do this? I have definitely made a
0:20:19 > 0:20:26friend for life in Pashtun. He has been the rock throughout this
0:20:26 > 0:20:31entire experience -- Pasha. cannot imagine Strictly without
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Kimberley this series. It feels we were a perfect couple because we
0:20:36 > 0:20:39work so well together. Of course it would be very nice for me to win
0:20:39 > 0:20:45the Strictly trophy but I am more thinking about how much I would
0:20:45 > 0:20:50love Kimberley to hold on to that shiny glitterball. It would mean
0:20:50 > 0:20:55the world to me to actually take the glitterball home. It has been
0:20:55 > 0:21:03such an amazing experience and there would be no better way to
0:21:03 > 0:21:08finish it off. For our favourite dance, we have
0:21:08 > 0:21:14chosen the tangos from week eight. Our Strictly experience comes down
0:21:14 > 0:21:23to this last, final dance. It is the last time I will get to dance
0:21:23 > 0:21:29with passion or so I will enjoy Everything we have worked for, all
0:21:29 > 0:21:37the time and effort, it all boils down to this weekend. Come on.
0:21:38 > 0:21:47Let's go. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Dancing the

0:21:48 > 0:23:28Apology for the loss of subtitles for 90 seconds
0:23:28 > 0:23:36tango, Kimberley Walsh and Pasha Every dance has a standing ovation!
0:23:36 > 0:23:46I have never seen anything quite like it. Kimberley! Kimberly!
0:23:46 > 0:24:01
0:24:01 > 0:24:06What about that? Femme fatale. Strictly irresistible, glossy,
0:24:06 > 0:24:12glamourous, dangerous, and a bloody good dancer! On a more serious note
0:24:12 > 0:24:18my darling, in the last few weeks you really have blossomed. Not just
0:24:18 > 0:24:22as a dancer but as a performer. I can't take my eyes are full view.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27The most important thing in art is to forget where the technique
0:24:27 > 0:24:33finishes and the performance starts, and you have done that, and it is a
0:24:33 > 0:24:37great achievement. What he says is absolutely true. She has blossomed.
0:24:37 > 0:24:43That was 10 times better than the last time you dance steps. Honestly.
0:24:43 > 0:24:53I cannot believe how you have completely came out and annihilated
0:24:53 > 0:24:55
0:24:55 > 0:25:04the dance floor. The you can 10 say 10! 10 times better. A so enjoy it
0:25:04 > 0:25:11when you are moody. You could win medals with that pout, baby! It is
0:25:11 > 0:25:17great. It is supremely perfect. The tension in that tango. That is my
0:25:17 > 0:25:23most favourite end as well. I loved the cut-off, bang. It was great or
0:25:23 > 0:25:27stop a beautiful. When I think back to the first week, I said Nimble
0:25:27 > 0:25:32Kimble. I tell you what, you have come out tonight and you have
0:25:32 > 0:25:41improve your technique and also at work. I thought to a halt was much
0:25:41 > 0:25:45better. -- and so foot work. Kimberley, you have provided me
0:25:45 > 0:25:55with some of the most spectacular highlights of the whole of this
0:25:55 > 0:25:58
0:25:58 > 0:26:04series. Well done to you. Get out Are they your champions? The number
0:26:04 > 0:26:10for all of the couples are on the screen. What about that? The last
0:26:10 > 0:26:15couple of the series! Are you going to miss him? Yeah, that was weird.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20I loved it. I thought, it is the last time we are going to do this
0:26:20 > 0:26:26so I will go for it and I really did, I loved every second. I really
0:26:26 > 0:26:33enjoyed it. You have given us the entire range of emotions tonight.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38Talk about split personality! Katanga face deserves medals!
0:26:38 > 0:26:43Moody! -- York tango says. That is exactly what they were looking for.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48A You are very close to lifting the glitterball trophy. How much would
0:26:48 > 0:26:54you like to win it? The experience has been incredible. I have learnt
0:26:54 > 0:26:58so much and I feel so lucky to be here already. Obviously we all want
0:26:58 > 0:27:08to win but we all deserve it and we have all worked so hard. I could
0:27:08 > 0:27:27
0:27:27 > 0:27:32That deserves a lift! What about that? Another perfect score to add
0:27:33 > 0:27:38to your collection. With our favourite dance! That is why it is
0:27:38 > 0:27:44so amazing. It doesn't get any better than that. That is what the
0:27:44 > 0:27:50judges think but you have the power. Your favourite dancers need you.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Not long to go now. Not long at all. Last to take to the floor with
0:27:54 > 0:28:02their favourite dance, Louis and Flavia. Here is their Strictly
0:28:02 > 0:28:07Coming off the back of the Olympics, having done so well, it is quite
0:28:07 > 0:28:12easy to have a dip. Strictly was completely different to the Olympic
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Games but has easily match the intensity of what the Olympic Games
0:28:16 > 0:28:21offered. My Strictly experience has been brilliant, it really has, but
0:28:21 > 0:28:26it has also been hard at times. I never thought I would get this far.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I knew it would be a challenge but I never thought I would be
0:28:29 > 0:28:34practising for the final. If you want to do well in Strictly, you
0:28:34 > 0:28:39cannot do it half-heartedly. It has been a beautiful combination of
0:28:39 > 0:28:44hard work and fun and a lot of that comes down to the fact I was with
0:28:44 > 0:28:49Flavia. She has be a fantastic. Louis has this poster boy image
0:28:49 > 0:28:54that everybody sees, but deep down he is a very, very sweet, fun and
0:28:54 > 0:29:00cheeky and lovable character. Before I met Flavia, the only dance
0:29:00 > 0:29:05I could do was the moonwalk. To go from that to get at 10 in the
0:29:05 > 0:29:11foxtrot, I think how brilliantly Flavia has done for me. He has had
0:29:11 > 0:29:17so many challengers. You can go no further unless you give yourself up.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22He has had so much expectation with the judges. You can do better.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26he has done it brilliantly. One of my favourite moments in Strictly
0:29:26 > 0:29:31was Hallowe'en. Not only was the production massive, I was
0:29:31 > 0:29:35performing the tango, one of Flavia's favourite dancers, and to
0:29:35 > 0:29:40get one of the best scores was nice, because we had not been getting the
0:29:40 > 0:29:45best cause so it was nice to be Flavia a pat on the back. My time
0:29:45 > 0:29:49on Strictly has been a massive journey. Ups and downs, such hard
0:29:49 > 0:29:55work, but the enjoyment and excitement that you get, there is
0:29:55 > 0:30:00no other reward like that Rostock it is brilliant. It really is.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Having spent such a long time with somebody training them, that last
0:30:04 > 0:30:08dance is always going to be emotional. The darts is the
0:30:08 > 0:30:15Charleston. It is the first time I came out of my shell -- and the
0:30:15 > 0:30:20dance. It was a turning point when it comes to performance. It was an
0:30:20 > 0:30:24epiphany I had. It was the point things changed. Everybody goes
0:30:24 > 0:30:28through it when it steps up and that was my moment so it makes
0:30:28 > 0:30:34sense to finish on match routine, because I loved it and everybody
0:30:34 > 0:30:42seemed to have a good time. That was it, Louis, the last training
0:30:42 > 0:30:45session is over. Well done. Shall we go and do the final? Let's do it.
0:30:45 > 0:30:53Flavia has put so much time and effort in me and I want to go and
0:30:53 > 0:31:03enjoy it and make the last dance perfect. Dancing the Charleston,
0:31:03 > 0:31:03
0:31:03 > 0:32:46Apology for the loss of subtitles for 90 seconds
0:32:46 > 0:32:54MUSIC: "Dr Wanna Do" by Caro APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Standing ovation after standing ovation! Look, every dance. It's
0:32:59 > 0:33:05just amazing. A kiss on the cheek. That means you did it right. OK,
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Craig, what did you think of that? This is going to be so difficult
0:33:09 > 0:33:13for everyone at home. I don't know how anyone is going to make a
0:33:13 > 0:33:18choice. We are having our opinions - they don't matter at the moment.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22It's a good job, as well! Yes, it really is fantastic. I mean, you
0:33:22 > 0:33:28have worked solidly on that I can tell. Your personality and
0:33:28 > 0:33:37character have really come to the forefront. APPLAUSE
0:33:37 > 0:33:41. It's Extraordinary. The fact you put that standing back somersault
0:33:41 > 0:33:50in was unbelieving and terrifying. It's been the most incredible
0:33:50 > 0:33:54competition this year. It really... Basically, I loved it. I didn't
0:33:54 > 0:33:57think you could actually add any more to that. That dance was
0:33:58 > 0:34:04brilliant. To add another flip. Your face was classic. I was
0:34:04 > 0:34:09looking at you! It's like having knives thrown at you. Louis, I love
0:34:09 > 0:34:12that you add the cheeky Louis into your performance. It was missing at
0:34:12 > 0:34:17the beginning, but wow, you have got everything now. The performance,
0:34:17 > 0:34:24the technique, the tricks. I don't know, I didn't think a Charleston
0:34:24 > 0:34:29was going to be your dance, but you made it your dance. We knew he
0:34:29 > 0:34:35would be a cheeky boy. Len? Sometimes during this series I felt
0:34:35 > 0:34:38like a teacher telling off a naughty schoolboy. I have never
0:34:39 > 0:34:45ever doubted your ability to dance and the potential that you had.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49When you did this before I think I said, shut up, close the door and
0:34:49 > 0:34:57call me Mary. I am not going to say that tonight, I am going to say
0:34:57 > 0:35:02that was a gold medal performance. Thank you very much. I have been
0:35:02 > 0:35:09waiting for that type of comment. Bruno hasn't even started. Yes,
0:35:09 > 0:35:13Louis, just what the doctors ordered! An upliftingtonic to
0:35:13 > 0:35:17really finish this incredible night. They're right, what we have seen,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21you came out with more tricks and more fun and more accomplished than
0:35:21 > 0:35:25ever. You always had physical ability, your acting skills
0:35:25 > 0:35:31sometimes were doubted. But you have proven that you have got it.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35And you can do it. You are at the top where you belong. This has been
0:35:35 > 0:35:40sensational. It's like choosing between different precious jewels,
0:35:40 > 0:35:45each one of you shines and has incredible qualities. I wouldn't
0:35:45 > 0:35:49know. I couldn't call it. What a night. I bet you are glad you don't
0:35:49 > 0:35:52have to make the decision. It's up up to the public. Give me one more,
0:35:52 > 0:36:02there we are! You have been great, both of you. Off you go.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07
0:36:07 > 0:36:12Who do you want to lift that trophy? On the screen are the all-
0:36:12 > 0:36:19form number -- all-important numbers. Wow. Cheeky Louis. You
0:36:19 > 0:36:23have never danced before this show. Just recreationally. Michael
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Jackson stuff. You never danced like this before. You have never
0:36:27 > 0:36:37performed before. To come to the final is incredible. You have been
0:36:37 > 0:36:37
0:36:37 > 0:36:42You have been amazing, working with me! Who wants to win it most?
0:36:42 > 0:36:46think it's gone beyond winning now. It's been so much fun. Regardless
0:36:46 > 0:36:50of what happens now, it's just been unbelievable. Everyone deserves it.
0:36:50 > 0:37:00It's impossible. It's brilliant. You can invite me back next year.
0:37:00 > 0:37:22
0:37:23 > 0:37:30See you back here, same time, same 39. BOOING.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Louis said, it's all right! Cover your ears. BOOING Those judges'

0:38:33 > 0:38:33
0:38:33 > 0:41:00Apology for the loss of subtitles for 90 seconds
0:41:00 > 0:41:06those numbers you need. Please What about that for dancing?!
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Amazing show tonight. Strictly 2012 sparked into action over three
0:41:10 > 0:41:14months ago with our best line-up ever. See them here. We couldn't
0:41:14 > 0:41:17end the series without inviting back all our stars for one more
0:41:17 > 0:41:25spin on the dance floor. First, let's see what taking part in the
0:41:25 > 0:41:29nation's favourite TV show has meant to them.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Strictly gives you - you can still have a go and I was determined to
0:41:33 > 0:41:37let them know I could do it. The amazing thing when I did dance is I
0:41:37 > 0:41:41wasn't nervous. Whatever happens from now on I can always say I was
0:41:41 > 0:41:47part of Strictly 2012. I loved every minute of it. I thought it
0:41:47 > 0:41:53was great. The dancing was fantastic fun. I love Anton. He is
0:41:53 > 0:41:58such a wonderful dancer to watch. I think I will remember this forever.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00The first two weeks were just incredible. I am getting goosebumps
0:42:00 > 0:42:05now. I had never experienced anything like that in the whole of
0:42:05 > 0:42:08my career. I can honestly say hand on heart it was completely
0:42:08 > 0:42:12overwhelming and that - I will hold with me for the rest of my life.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15When you do Strictly I don't think anybody will question this, there
0:42:15 > 0:42:21are moments that you will never experience anywhere else and that's
0:42:21 > 0:42:26the truth. I am proud of myself. I conquered a fear. I conquered my
0:42:26 > 0:42:32nerves and I learned a lot. Everything about it is like living
0:42:32 > 0:42:35in a snowdome. It's lovely. Dusting the judges was great fun. I went
0:42:35 > 0:42:42out on the salsa and that was the one to go out on, which was the
0:42:42 > 0:42:46best one really. In a pink frock! Strictly above all things has given
0:42:46 > 0:42:49me courage and not just necessarily with regard to the dancing, but
0:42:49 > 0:42:52it's shown that against all odds you can go out there and do
0:42:53 > 0:42:58something you never thought or never dreamed possible. The best
0:42:58 > 0:43:01best time I have ever had with my clothes on! No, you can't use that!
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Doing Strictly after the Olympics has definitely topped off a great
0:43:05 > 0:43:08year. I do think I am a little bit crazy for doing it but I am really
0:43:08 > 0:43:12proud of myself. Maybe I am not a confident dancer, but I am
0:43:12 > 0:43:22definitely a more confident person for trying it.
0:43:22 > 0:43:28
0:43:28 > 0:43:34If I could describe Strictly in one word it would be ffab-u-lous!
0:43:34 > 0:43:38Strictly Come Dancing is up there with one of the highlights in my
0:43:38 > 0:43:43career. Having done years in Westlife it's amazing in the street
0:43:43 > 0:43:46people want to speak to you about Strictly. It's unique. Strictly has
0:43:46 > 0:43:50given me one of the best friends I could wish to have and that's Robin.
0:43:50 > 0:43:57To the day I die I will never have an experience like I felt dancing
0:43:57 > 0:44:00with Robin at Wembley. It's been really the best time of my life.
0:44:00 > 0:44:10APPLAUSE AND CHEERING. And they're here, reunited, please welcome our

0:51:49 > 0:51:59and better every year. Fabulous! Olympians, pop stars, a soap stars,
0:51:59 > 0:52:06it has been fabulous. Yes. She can get away with it because she is so
0:52:06 > 0:52:10beautiful. It has been great having a Olympians like Victoria and Louis.
0:52:10 > 0:52:17The Victoria Pendleton was fantastic at the Olympics but not
0:52:17 > 0:52:23great on the dancefloor. Oh my God, I was not expecting that. I think
0:52:23 > 0:52:32it is Louis's big muscles that I liked. Definitely. He has got a
0:52:32 > 0:52:41good physique, but then so do the professionals. Without a top on, oh
0:52:41 > 0:52:48my God! For Artem. It is like looking in the mirror. Big girls,
0:52:48 > 0:52:53yeah! Your personality could not be brighter, I need to wear shades.
0:52:53 > 0:52:57You thought she could not get any better and then, bang! When you
0:52:57 > 0:53:03dropped down into the splits are thought I was going to have a
0:53:03 > 0:53:11coronary! It was eye-watering. made me cross my legs, I am not
0:53:11 > 0:53:21joking! I thought the hello Weem Daz was awesome. -- Hallowe'en
0:53:21 > 0:53:24
0:53:24 > 0:53:30dance. Rikki was good, are no, Sid Owen! Sorry! Hallowe'en nightmare.
0:53:30 > 0:53:35Probably worse was Michael Vaughan's jive! Disaster. I am a
0:53:35 > 0:53:45dad and I can do better than that! Maybe he was not quite as good as
0:53:45 > 0:53:46
0:53:46 > 0:53:52he was at cricket. A you were like a wild goose! Few readers!
0:53:52 > 0:53:58would be falling off the chair! What can you say about Craig?
0:53:58 > 0:54:05very excited watching you, darling, I can't tell you. There is a softer
0:54:05 > 0:54:15side to him coming through. Craig, I think you are fabulous. I would
0:54:15 > 0:54:18
0:54:18 > 0:54:25not mind looking at Len's pickled waltz! Keeper pickling! Pigs balm.
0:54:25 > 0:54:32He obviously doesn't work with pigs. They are my cheeky little monkey is.
0:54:32 > 0:54:39They are like real people but smaller. Beyonce it, great. To be
0:54:39 > 0:54:47compared. I like Vincent, when he does the tango. Who would not want
0:54:47 > 0:54:55to dance with the Italian stallion? Finger licking good! Unlike Denise
0:54:55 > 0:55:03van Outen. She is a pretty fit bird -- I like Denise of stock Denise

0:55:17 > 0:55:25Kimberley. Fabulous. She is gorgeous, Northern! And she seems
0:55:25 > 0:55:32really nice. When Kimberley got four 10s, it was fantastic. I am
0:55:32 > 0:55:38going to join the audience! I am so proud of her. I think Louis has
0:55:39 > 0:55:44done some amazing tricks. Flips and splits, it did it for me.
