Week 2 Strictly Come Dancing

Last week 14 stars went supernova and truly showed us what they were

made of. Your butt stuck out like a hanging basket. There was romance.

I wasn't expecting that! There was bromance. And one broken heart.

This week, for the first time, someone is going home. The bottom

two will be running scared because... The dance-off is back.

It's back! The dance-off is back! Every vote counts. It's time to

decide who do you love? # Do you Live from Television Centre, please

welcome your hosts, Sir Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly.

Wonderful. Right on the beat! Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and

children, welcome to Strictly Come Dancing. It's nice to see you, to

see you... AUDIENCE: Nice! It's nice to see you. Wasn't last

weekend a great start? Absolutely. After the show one of the

celebrities gave me a lift home. That was nice. No it wasn't. Never

again. 90mph on the motorway. And in and out of the traffic. In the

end, I said, Victoria Pendleton... LAUGHTER

I didn't expect the laugh there! Victoria Pendleton, if you don't

slow down, I am going to follow off these handlebars. APPLAUSE. That's

the one. We have two laughs instead of of one. We are about to embark

on a dance epic of a show with all 14 of our celebrities battling it

out on the dance floor. It's like Ben Hur in the ballroom. Last week

our celebrities took their first steps on the dance floor. But this

week they're dancing for survival because you at home get the chance

to vote for your favourites. I bet they're quacking back there.

the quaking stop. It's time to meet Kimberley Walsh and Pasha Kovalev

Nicky Byrne and Karen Hauer, Fern Britton and Artem Chigvintsev,

Michael Vaughan and Natalie Lowe, Lisa Riley and Robin Windsor, Louis

Smith and Flavia Cacace, Dani Harmer and Vincent Simon Simone,

Sid Owen and Ola Jordan, Denise van Outen and James Jordan Richard

Arnold and Erin Boag, Victoria Pendleton and Brendan Cole, Colin

Salmon and Kristina Rhianoff, Jerry Hall and Anton Du Beke and Johnny

Ball and Iveta Lukosiute. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING That was all for you.

Good audience. You look magnificent. Ladies, you look incredible. And,

as there are lots of young people watching, I will rephrase that for

them. OMG, you babes, is looking reem. LAUGHTER And you's will be

aving it large tonight, innit. Welcome to the show. Tonight for

the first time our couples are dancing for your votes. Once

everybody's danced the phoneliness will open and you have your chance

to have your say. Your votes will be be combined with the judges'

scores from last week and this week and the two couples with the lowest

number of points will face another dreaded dance-off. Oh Oh! If you

like your dancing served with a side order of expert opinion you

can press your red button for live commentary throughout the show with

ex-Strictly champion Karen Hardy and joining her is Rufus Hound. If

you want to hear their words of wisdom press red now and you are

ready to go. And so are we. We are. Good! The first couple tonight is

Nicky Byrne and his partner, Karen Hauer. APPLAUSE Now we found out

last week that Nicky's partner, Karen, she's one of the new

professional dancers, is from Veneuzla and she never heard of

Westlife and after the show I told her all about them and said, now do

you know who they are? She said, yes, but who the devil are you?

What about that accent? Here they are - good luck to them - here they

are in training. As week one goes, it was a disaster,

but I am still here, you know, no one went home. I went over to the

judges' desk and got absolutely savaged. I am not particularly

happy, actually, Karen. There are certain rules in Strictly Come

Dancing. You broke one of them. That, my darling, is a lift.

lift probably wasn't the best idea in the world. It was exactly what

Craig needed to begin to pull us apart on and probably exactly what

I didn't need on my first week. all make mistakes. I probably won't

be making the same mistake again. don't want to experience that again.

Are we doing a lift? No lift. week I am dancing the cha-cha-cha.

I have to go out there and impress the judges and people at home. It's

a great routine. Karen's really pulled this one out of the bag.

Then I can't get it right. I forgot it! This was the first time that

he's ever walked out of the room. It was nice for him to walk back in.

Let's do it again. Confidence is dented but the only way to fix that

is to get back to the drawing board. I am ready, it's show time, let's

cha-cha. Dancing the cha-cha-cha, APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

What a start tonight! Thank you. Oh, that started the show off so well,

both of you. Full of energy. Delightful. All right, let's now

welcome our judges, Craig, Darcey, Len and Bruno. APPLAUSE

Now we had, as you know, we had two shows last weekend. On the Friday

Friday Craig was mean, controversial and rude. But on the

Saturday, he was lovely. He explained to me afterwards, he said,

I just had an off day and promised he will never be lovely again.

LAUGHTER Never, ever. Len, what did you

think of that first offering? a cup of tea and a world of lattes,

if you like. I am a traditionalist, it was too much boyband dancing and

not enough cha-cha-cha in there. Listen, I don't like to be cruel. I

want to be kind. There was very little about that I could rave

about. Tkoeu apologise for that. But there you are. Oh, well. That's

not as good a start as we thought. Bruno? Tonight you were more

switched on. You were going for it. You had a naughty twinkle in your

eyes, which was good. It was a little bit Take That 1995. I love

them. But the problem is that you lost timing completely at the end.

You really lost it. You were off completely and you have to stretch

your legs when you do your basic cha-cha but performance-wise, I

thought you went in the right direction. So combine the two.

enough. Craig? For me it was all a little bit like a zumba exercise

class. It was very flat-footed. I couldn't help but notice you had

some rotation in the hip department. It was quite nice to view. That's a

plus. Unfortunately, it left your body as you started to move. But

the energy was great. I thought your commitment to the piece was

good. Yes, lovely. APPLAUSE Now, Darcey? Nicky, there was confidence.

There was attitude. It was great. You had some funky isolations there,

but sadly, for me, also there wasn't enough cha-cha but a great

contrast from last week. Darcey, you would like more isolation?

were nice. Very nice. Work on your isolation. Off you go. Well done.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Come on, Nicky. Now the positive,

Bruno said, you are going in the right direction. How was it for

you? Terb -- terrible to be honest. I couldn't hear the beats at the

start. I was making it up as I was going along. I lost the beat at the

start. That considered, you did blooming well! You set many a heart

a fluttering with that hip action. Even Craig. That was the intention.

Craig savaged you last week, did that give you a different attitude?

We worked hard on this tonight and it didn't go well. Don't be like

that! Bruno says you are going in the right direction. They loved it,

One better than last week. If you want to vote for Nicky and Karen

there's two ways to do This Week Well done, Nicky. I thought it was

a top start to the show. Loads of energy. Still to come we have

Victoria Pendleton, she's back in the saddle with a foxtrot and

Richard Arnold is heading for the love shack, baby! Now our next

couple, Colin Salmon and his partner Kristina Rhianoff. Colin's

cha-cha-cha left the judges shaken and stirred last week. This week he

is taking his girl for a spin in the Viennese waltz. Here they are

in training. I was feeling quietly confident.

And you hit the studio and you have lights in your face and the judges

and that threw me, actually. That confidence went to a noisier panic.

It was so unbelievable to see people standing and cheering for us.

Best cha-cha of the night. I came away absolutely thrilled. I had the

best time. It was the first time I ever danced in front of eight

million people or eight people. Now we take it to the next level and

keep going. I think Colin is finding the Viennese waltz harder

than the cha-cha-cha. First challenge is my height. I have to

keep the shape of the back. That's perfect. I can't move. You have to

keep your butt tucked in. I have been feeling it in the balls of my

feet, knees, back, shoulders. heard him today complaining about

his knees and back and so on. Well, what can do you? What is wrong with

disco? Saturday night, I am going to forget about the knees and back

and aches and pains and dance and nail it. Dancing the Viennese waltz,

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

Colin Salmon and Kristina Rhianoff. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Very nice. Lovely. What about that? That's such a lovely feel to it.

Romantic, lovely. How are the knees? Fine. While you get your

breath back, I will take the opportunity to welcome our fabulous

singers, Dave Arch and his wonderful, wonderful orchestra!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING All right. Now then, Bruno, we

start with you. Colin, nice and extended long lines and I tell you,

it's hard because you have plenty of length to work with, you know.

It's harder if you are taller because you have much more space to

cover. The thing, when you go in hold it needed more drive, more

musicality, more sweep. Don't lean forward. I know it's hard again,

plenty of length, but it's kind of - I found it a little bit not so

involving tonight. A bit careful for me. All right. Craig? I have to

agree with Bruno, you did hit nice lines throughout but your double

hand flicking is quite vexatious, darling. I don't know why you are

doing it, but it's odd. It's like that. It's rather nice if the arm

goes out and stays out. Rice and fall, there -- rise and fall,

there's too much. In this dance it should remain as smooth as possible.

But I think you are dancing more to your height and that's good to see.

You didn't see the fly that he was that he was flicking? Darcey?

had the perfect frame, so elegant but you have to watch you don't

stoop. Lift the chin, not just the eyes. There's a lot of eyes up here.

But well done. A man that can ballroom and Latin. I don't know

how he manages to keep his eye on Kristina, she's down there, you

must be looking for her. LAUGHTER I just thought that to myself! Len?

Step out more and it was a tad timid. Having said that, you are an

actor, you got into the character as you did last week. It had

elegance and sophistication. I like the fact in hold there was no stoop

for me. You danced to your height and that's what you must do. Don't

dance down. Keep up. And you can move as much as you want, Chris

Kristina will keep up. Don't worry. So move more! Good words. Off you

go then. Well done. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Colin, he can ballroom and Latin. Yes he can. Now, being - Anton said

he is off already. How did you overcome the height difference?

followed the instructions here. listen to your taskmaster. Good

pupil. Darcey said a perfect frame and Jerry commented during the

dance, he is a long, tall drink! I love the way she said that. Sounds

so much better coming from Jerry with that accent. Fabulous. The

One up on last week. We are going up in the right direction. OK, here

is the numbers you need to keep Without you, they may not be back

here next week. They really want to stay, don't you? Yes, we do. Love

that voice. Back to you, Bruce. Right, next up is Dani Harmer and

her partner, Vincent Simone. APPLAUSE

Now, because I don't watch children's television much the it's

past my bedtime, but I don't know much about Dani. She said, I know

all about you. I did a project on you at school. I said, really, were

you doing media studies? She said, no, ancient history. LAUGHTER Shut

up! Not funny at all. Here they are Saturday, my nerves did get to me.

I have never been that scared in all my life. Smile, because all the

tension you create stops the movement to flow. Dani was

disappointed because she was nervous and the nerves took over.

can't compare it to anything. My hands were doing this. I can't stop

shaking. Stop it. I will find someone else to dance with.

Saturday was amazing but I am so glad it's over because now I get to

salsa. Bring it on! I am so excited. I am going to pretend I am a sexy

salsa dancer and see where that gets me. Vincent wants to push me

so he put in a tricky lift but at the moment it's arms and legs

everywhere and me on the floor. There's different ways of jumping

on top of a man. Am I that heavy! We are dancing. How do you jump

like a dancer? I have no idea. That's good. But now I am stuck.

You will definitely see a lot more Dani in the salsa. You need to let

go now. And a less nervous rabbit caught in the headlights look.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

Dancing the salsa, Dani Harmer and APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I thought that was wonderful. That was beautiful. Are you happy?

loved that. Lovely song and beautiful words. LAUGHTER

Sounded like a pig sty. Just my own thoughts! Craig? This dance does

suit the smaller type person, I am not being funny, it's true. Lovely

clean finishes. The energy was fantastic. I wasn't completely fond

of the dismount in the second lift. You sort of went splat. It looked

like something went horribly wrong. I don't know what you were aiming

for there, Vincent. I loved the forward walkover. Darcey, what did

you think? Yeah, it's so great to see you having fun on that dance

floor and amazing isolations with the upper body. Just follow it

through with the lower body, with the hips. I want to see more hips,

it's so important in salsa and you have great hips. Thank you!

Beautiful. OK. Now then, Len? you little munchkin, you came out

and gave it some welly. You were foul-on and -- full-on and flat out

and I liked it. We haven't had Bruno yet. You gorgeous little

thing, you didn't splatter, you blossomed tonight. You were happy,

having a good time. Great content, all the arm passes were very

difficult. You did it well. She is right, you got to get these hips.

Look at you. Do it for me. Gorgeous! Use it. Use it to full

extent. Don't be shy. Like you! It was wonderful. We all loved you.

Off you go and be proud. APPLAUSE Really good comments from the

judges. I know. I love this. Teach me, I am desperate - I love that! I

got to get to learn the body roll. That's one cool - not here, though.

On to you. Len loved it. How are your nerves? I am actually all

right this week. I enjoyed that. I wasn't so terrified. That was one

speedy salsa. And first lifts, very ambitious. How did they go? It was

interesting in rehearsals. Interesting. Hopefully that went

better. Well done. Here are your Better than last week. If you want

The phonelines open later. You are hope you are settled in for a night

of sheer ballroom bliss. Anyone ready for some more? Come on,

Bruce! Right, our next couple is Fern Britton and her partner, Artem

Chigvintsev. APPLAUSE Lovely Fern. Now Fern has asked me not to make

more puns about her name. She said, I get that all the time and I am so

sick of it. I said, I understand, and I won't do it any more. I will

just focus on your dancing and after last week's performance, it's

obvious, Briton's Got Talent. No! Shouldn't have said that. Sorry,

You wafted your skirt a lot. didn't mind the wafting, all flirty.

I am surprised it caused such a controversy on the panel. I like

skirt-ography. What was amazing was that last extension. That leg went

so high, the line, the foot. you happy? I am happy. I am happy,

too. Are you really? You won't be tomorrow when we rehears again.

This week we are dancing the waltz and it's a very romantic dance.

Training has not exactly been romantic. Again! I have been doing

a lot of repetitions. One more time. From the beginning. Again. Do it

again. And again. Go from the top. And again one more time. First step.

It's very frustrating. I hate it when he gets frustrated with me. I

hate that. That's not your step at all. If I am being harsh it's only

because I want her to be the best she can possibly be. Got it. Got it.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

Dancing the Viennese waltz, Fern APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

You deserve that hug after all that training and everything.

deserves it! He's dragged me through the week. You did very well

there. Darcey, start us off, darling. You gave us such a

beautiful feeling when you dance. Really it's lovely. And so nice to

see you travelling, as well. Just make sure you keep it smooth. It

gets up and down. But the arms, one other thing, you have got to follow

through. When you extend the arm don't finish here. Extend the

fingers right to the very ends of the fingers. Please, believe in

yourself and the confidence will follow. APPLAUSE Good points there.

Len? There was a bit of wafting going on early on. We put it in for

you. I like a waft, actually. Your posture needed to be stronger. But

let me tell you, it was better than last week. So you are on the way up.

Well done. APPLAUSE That's good. Encouraging. Bruno? You have to

watch it, they were both right. Sometimes it looked like you are

casually dusting. It was lovely, oh, nice and clean clean! You have to

follow it through. Keep strong here and follow those lines. Always you

come alive once you are in the arms of a strapping young man. You seem

to like it. So lovely then. But you have to combine the two. All right,

you know, you got to get the posture right and extend the lines.

Good tips. Craig? Speaking of hand shaping, you also need to tuck your

thumb under, as well. Darcey didn't mention that little bit. You need

to extend the line a little bit more by pulling up through your

back and your chest and that will help keep your left shoulder down,

which was raising up. I thought the flow around the floor was fantastic.

You must be happy about that. Away you go and be happy! APPLAUSE AND

Come on, the lady in red. Craig said the F-word - fantastic.

missed that. Would you say ballroom was more your thing? Probably, I

don't know, I am still learning. I don't know where I am. He dragged

me through, he is brilliant. seems you don't want to let Artem

down. Big-time, of course I don't. I only do it for you, and you.

Darcey says you need to believe in yourself. Valid point? Yes, at this

stage it's difficult to get your head around anything, actually. But

thanks. You're doing great. That's Yes. Improvement on last week.

pleased. If you want Fern to avoid the fear of the dance-off tomorrow,

Remember all our celebrities are going to need your votes. Back to

you, Bruce. Thank you, our 5th couple is Richard Arnold and his

partner, Erin Boag. In last week's waltz Richard was criticised for

not showing enough personality. We hope to see his fun side in

tonight's cha-cha-cha. Here's the fun side, we hope, here they are in

training. It was the most extraordinary feeling I have ever

had in my life. The moment it was over you just wanted to get back

out and do it again. Your footwork was the best of any waltz I have

seen. Seven! I am a dancer! It was a bit boring. Are you trying to be

butch? I was emotting. I missed the real Richard in that dance. Brace

yourselves! The cha-cha gives me a chance, obviously, to throw my arms

around a bit and wiggle my hips. It's a fun, bubbly dance. You will

see a different side of Richard. am going to need another one. I

thought I have been cha-chaing all my life, but according to Erin I

have been mincing. You still have to do your step. Step back. What he

lacks in technique, he makes up for in performance. You have to get the

balance between your feet in the right place and the technique and

obviously, giving it this with your personality. I think the feet may

fall foul of this. You got to throw in a shimmy, it's Saturday night.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

Dancing the cha-cha-cha, Richard APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Well, that was absolutely great. All those flowers! We have seen

Richard in full bloom. It's Saturday night, it's my winter box.

You were critical last week, what about this? Tonight you have a

split personality, I tell you that. That was blissfully barmie. It was

something in between a livewire and a cukatoo. It was the weirdest cha-

cha-cha but in a sick way I enjoyed A sick cha-cha-cha, after all that

effort! Craig, what did you think? I wasn't entirely convinced that

you wanted to take Erin to a love shack, darling. LAUGHTER

. Both cha-cha-cha walks do belong in a drag show. I used to work in

menswear, we used to do it all the time. Suits you, Sir? Did you sell

a lot? Not if I am honest. I am not surprised. Craig can be funny. I

almost laughed. Darcey, darling? This is the Richard I wanted to see.

Relaxed, full of life. Come here, sweetheart! You mustn't touch!

but, just for Erin, you have to create some tension in the arms.

Please. She needs you to lead her. Darcey, less Bustle. He has been

saving that one. Len. Loud and proud and that's just your shirt. I

am telling you, Richard... No, your arm most of the time was on your

hip or hanging down like a bit of cotton from a knicker leg. You are

a better dancer than having to camp it all all up. You can go for it.

You are a better dancer. Certain people need to do that stuff. You

don't. A little bit over the top for me, but it was fun. There's a

dancer in you. You will get it out of him. Go you go.

. My winter pansies have withered. Oh dear! That is the Richard we

have all been waiting for, us and Darcey. Blissfully barmie, said

Bruno. How did you feel it went? How do you feel it went, love.

Everybody was doing the mashed potato with us. Len said you were a

better dancer than that, what will you bring to the competition next

week? Apparently tighter knicker We will take it. 19. Craig's so

harsh. You shook your thing. I did. If you would like to see Richard

dance another day you can call: Wait for the lines to open. Still

to come, Lisa will be showing us what she can do with the sreuen

eats waltz -- Viennese waltz waltz. Our next couple is Victoria

Pendleton and her partner, Brendan Cole.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Now, last week we were running out of time so

we didn't have time for Craig's comments on Victoria. If we run out

of time this week, Craig won't be able to comment again. LAUGHTER See

the match? Did you see the match? A bit of a walkover, but never mind...

Hello, are you all right. Happy birthday. We might do another song

later on, OK. LAUGHTER Ah, I think that's wasted enough time. APPLAUSE

Here they are in training. I was really excited to go out and

perform the dance. And then to mess it up on the night, I felt really

disappointed. You don't know what's going to happen on a live show.

Before the show we ran it four times downstairs in the corridor,

it was perfect. She was performing, it was great. Then... You messed it

up so much. I was so annoyed with myself. I couldn't conceal it. You

put so much work into something and it goes wrong. In the bottom spot,

Victoria and Brendan. You are a champion, you have fallen off the

bike before. Get back on it. Do a twirl. Brendan brought me a lovely

dance skirt and it definitely makes you want to spin around the dance

floor and be more elegant. I want to swivel around in the skirt a lot.

I am seeing a smile on the girl's face. She's come in here firing,

exactly what you would expect from our Olympian. This week I am doing

the foxtrot. We have already discovered that me spinning on-the-

spot or trying to turn is bad news. I can do this. You can do it. We

are at the bottom of the leader board now, so it's essential that I

can improve on my spins, because I really want to stay in the

competition. Dancing the foxtrot, Victoria

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Well done, very well done. There we

are. Lovely. And all your friends up there, everyone. That was

beautiful. So proud. Victoria, can I ride on your handlebars again?

Any time. Oh, that's good. Len? Clean, classy and confident. A

fantastic improvement from last week. The transition from in and

out of hold are a little bit unstable. You got to work on that

more. But what an improve - Queen Vic is back. OK, Bruno? Victoria is

back in the race! Well done, my darling. Very nice indeed in hold.

Now you have to work on your turns. That's what happened in the

transitions, because you don't spot, you lose balance. So take a point

of reference, turn and spot and go to it. Because the improvement, as

Len said, is great. Well done. And he knows what he is talking

about. He's been on the turn for years.

Shocker! Craig? It's true, actually. You remembered it, so that's a good

start and that's worth at least one point. The turns are very rigid.

You need to get those sorted out and when you turn back into hold

you need to get your arm out of the way quicker, well done. Darcey, my

love? Yes, the nerves have gone. It's wonderful to see. You look

beautiful. That lovely smile. watch your fingers, you get a

little bit splayed, maybe tension. But only noticed it a couple of

times. Get them together. But now you are going to have fun with the

show, I know you are. Thank you. Practise the turns on your bike.

Off you go. Well done. Yes. Queen Vic is back. Miles more

confidence this week. Is it a happier place for you, in hold?

am holding on to Brendan. I know he is going to take care of me.

shining armour. I can't tell you how lovely she is. I am loving my

work. The judges will agree you Now that's a massive difference to

Still to come, Louis is getting to grips with Flavia in the Viennese

waltz. Lucky girl. And Jerry is getting ready for her close-up.

There it is. What a night it's been already. What can we expect next?

Well, anything tonight. Our next couple is Michael Vaughan and his

partner, Natalie Lowe. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

In last week's waltz the judges criticised his facial expressions.

Will he have a smile on his face after this week's jive? Who knows?

Here they are in training. As much as my face probably looked

like I was concentrating, it was. I did enjoy it. I think you could

sense from the way me and Natalie gave a fist-clenched punch, we knew

that's what we could have expected in week one. It's an amazing start.

Your butt stuck out like a hanging basket. Hanging basket? A bit harsh.

This week I have to catch Natalie. You should know how to do that.

Natalie's watched any cricket she will understand that catching was

not my strength. There's no room for mistakes in this routine.

get this wrong, Natalie ends newspaper the audience. --. Ends up

in the audience. I am scared about what could happen. Hello, kids. My

daughter decided to bring a few friends. She said she was bringing

a couple. It seemed like the whole school. It was so nice to have them

come in and watch us. They're just enjoying it. They think dad's

bonkers dancing around and having a laugh. Keep dancing!

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

Dancing the jive, Michael Vaughan APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Well done, Michael. Leave that with me. What a difficult dance to give

you, Michael. Of all the dances, that one. My goodness. I tell you

what, you can see you were lighter on your feet. Oh, give me the axe!

Oh my God, you were like a wild goose chased by a fox! You were - I

don't think I have ever seen such bad footwork. But it was so funny.

I have to say. I think Richard Attenborough should put new a

nature programme. Unbelievable. The timing was so bad, it was good.

Exactly, so we all had a good laugh. You couldn't do it worse. He came

out, look, he came out and he had a go, didn't he?! APPLAUSE And that's

what it's all about. God knows what Craig is going to say. You might

use that in the end. That has to be one of the oddest jives I think I

have ever witnessed. In the ten series, it was really bizarre. Your

hips seem to have a mind of their own, darling. Most of the time it

looked like you were busting for a we, -- wee. I am! But he came out

and he had a go. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Finish us off, Len. It had a bit of gusto and enthusiasm and there was

a lot going on, but unfortunately it was mostly bad. A great

improvement on what? Last week. are going to be my favourite.

you. They all loved it. Off you go. Oh, sorry. Go on, get him!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING He is high-fiving up here. Yes,

there you go. Well,. I thought it was great. She has low expectations.

Very loyal. Bruno said, so bad it was good. How are you going to

improve next week? This week's been like a non-stop zumba class. If I

am still in I will keep working. have done so many hours this week

on that. I spout many hours in -- I put so many hours into it.

That's all right. Could be worse. What do you think? If you think

Michael tkefrbs another in-- We still have loads more to look

forward to. Who is next? But he had a go, didn't he? APPLAUSE Our next

couple is Louis Smith and his partner, Flavia Cacace. APPLAUSE

AND CHEERING Evidently, Louis fancies Kimberley

Walsh, and he asked me if I could could subtly find out if Kimberley

was interested. I said, leave it to me, subtle match-making is my

speciality. Kimberley? Louis fancies you. Let me know if you are

interested, I will keep it quiet! Here they are in training.

Oh my God, I wasn't expecting that! You worked hard on that hip action.

Well done. In my eyes I think you're going to

go far in this show. I love the fact Darcey has a soft spot for

Louis. I don't blame her at all. We worked on those hips for hours.

think Darcey got embarrassed herself. I hope we can give her

more enjoyment over the next few weeks. I am happy with 27,

definitely. Happy with the way the routine went, happy with my partner.

My Strictly experience is going well so far. This week we are doing

the Viennese waltz to Puppy Love. Everyone has a young love, like the

best thing in the world, I think that's what the song is about. I

have to make it come across like that. You smile when you are having

fun. This is fun, yeah! I struggle to smile. Let alone be romantic. So,

this is going to be tough. smile. I hope that I can get a

little bit of a smile from him on Saturday. Are you smiling?

Dancing the Viennese waltz, Louis APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Very nice. Lovely. What about that? That was beautiful. I love that

song and it had so much feeling between the pair of you. We start

with you, Darcey. I like it. You are calm, you are confident and you

have grace and posture. Just what you need for a ballroom. Sshh! I do

need an emotional connection between you and Flavia, that's just

as important for the performance and I am missing that. But there's

technique and I even saw a fleckerl. Did you, Len? Yeah, I saw a natural.

I saw more turns than the Government. I saw great posture. I

saw the best dance I have seen tonight or last week. It was great.

Well said, Len. Bruno? Well, I felt it. I felt it, Darcey. You make

such a lovely pair. It was like a Valentine's Day postcode brought to

life. Great musicality. I go with Len, best dance so far. You should

be very happy. You two - you want to be watched. Off you go, up the

stairs. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Louis! Get you! Len and Bruno's best dance of the night, so far.

High praise. Are you getting used to feeling like a ballroom dancer?

I am in this suit. I feel like a gentleman. And give us a smile,

Louis. There it is. You see, he has Great score!

Please don't call until the lines are open, if you do, your vote

won't count and you may be charged. Our next couple is Denise van Outen

and her partner, James Jordan. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Denise got wonderful comments for her waltz last week but this week

she's tackling an energetic jive. In the rehearsals things took a

turn for the worse. Here they are in training.

Dancing the waltz was the best feeling in the world but also the

scariest. I had sweaty palms, a dry mouth, my heart was going 100mph.

My legs were shaking. So, I was in shock when Craig said... Saved the

best until last. I am starting to like this Craig Revel Horwood guy.

Your footwork overall is poor. No heel leads. I know, I knew he was

going to tell me off. This week we are dancing the jive, the problem

is you need so much energy. Where are you going? I don't know. Once

you have danced it a couple of times you are exhausted. I have

been spinning so much in this routine that I feel a little bit

out of control. I can't spin any more, I feel sick! I am dizzy

enough as it is, like I need more spins in my life? Denise came in

this morning with a pain in her neck. He's insisted I go to physio.

Denise has sustained whiplash. can you get that from the jive?

Take a can of toughen up and let's get on with it.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

Dancing the jive, Denise van Outen What about that?! Look at this.

They loved that. Absolutely beautiful.

I know you would like to say a few words. No. I can't speak. I have

such a dry mouth! They They both can't talk. Darcey? Wow, Denise!

You got the style of the jive instantly. There was bounce, you

even had retracting kicks. So much energy all the way through. I would

only say on the arm movements getting too much effort in the

shoulders, but amazing. Amazing! APPLAUSE

Len? Tutti frutti! I tell you what, that was my cup of tea. It was

fabulous. It was full-on. It had attack, it had energy. I was

disappointed last week, this week I am delighted. Well done. You were

jumping up and down. It was - Bruno? That's my girl, Denise the

go-er. She was going for it. I tell you, the style was brilliant. Kicks

and flicks perfect. That's the way we like to see a jive. Well done.

great jive. Can't wait for Craig. Now for the truth, darling. Fab-u-

Get off! You will get us into trouble!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Watch the neck. How was the neck,

because I was feeling for you all the way through that? I can't feel

it because of the adrenalin and nerves. Tomorrow I am going to be

in agony. Are you pushing this girl too hard? Yeah. He can't actually

speak. He is out of breath. Craig's first fab-u-lous of the series.

love it when he says that. All the 8s. Highest score of the

night, so far. Well deserved. To They want to stay another week in

the ballroom, right? We love it. Where are you going to go from

there? Higher. Remember the two couples with the lowest combined

scores and votes will be facing the dance-off. Back to you, Bruce.

Thank you. Our next couple is Johnny Ball and his partner Iveta

Lukosiute. I will do that again and his partner Luka... Lukosiute. How

can I describe Johnny? What can you call someone who's been on

television nearly 50 years? I know what I call him, a -- a bebeginner.

He is just a kid! A little boy. Here they are in training.

Saturday was tremendously exciting. I wasn't really very nervous. We

loved the routine but the judges didn't like it very much. It was

all a bit Last Of The Summer Wine. You failed the MOT, haven't you?

have never really been a big fan of miming, darling. Your mouth was

moving ten to the dozen throughout and was very distracting. If this

is our biggest problem, we can fix that. Craig gave me a three, I

looked in the box and he has a minus 2. I am determined to get

bigger scores. I have a feeling you will look good Saturday. This week

we do foxtrot. I think he will do better because he is a tall,

elegant looking man. I don't think his age is a problem. He practises

five to six hours a day. He comes to the studio before I arrive and

Johnny leaves the last. I sleep like this. He uses his face a

little bit too much. We need to calm down a little bit the mouth.

You hold that and this goes... must not mess around with my face.

Very good. I hope the judges are watching my feet and posture and

arms and not my mouth. Dancing the foxtrot, Johnny Ball

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING How about that? Look at that,

Johnny. On their feet there. Well done. They stand better than I do!

I think Len, you are the one to start us off. I will, if you have

asked me nicely. What you do, you do with enthusiasm. Ever since I

have seen you years ago you do everything with enthusiasm and this

is the same. OK, your posture could be better, your footwork could be

cleaner. But it had lots of content and I like the movement around the

Actually I have something nice to say. You set off very well. In fact,

out of hold you hit some very nice lines. There was really nice

movements. Obviously, when you went in hold Len is right, you stiffened

up and didn't flow. But I think it was better than last week. Much

better. Wonderful. Good praise from Ren -- Len and

Bruno. Splayed hands, gapping and that's due to your posture. But I

have to say, a decent effort. that's good. APPLAUSE. Darcey,

finish us. Wonderfully better than last week. Work on the topline.

It's so important, especially for Iveta because she needs your

support and strength so she can do those beautiful holds and moves.

But you have all the moves, just believe in yourself. You are

working hard. Off you go. Keep going.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Yes! Johnny be good! Look at that.

What an improvement. Even Craig was positive. How did you feel it went?

The frame was weak. Was it? That was the bit I had to try hard, but

it was lovely. I enjoyed it and it was a great routine and she as

fabulous. I was trying to bring the gentleman out of him that he is,

and it's natural for him. So I just have to be yourself. Kept it zipped

Better than last week. If you want to keep Johnny Ballroom

on his dancing feet call: Don't have to think of a number,

they're the only ones you are going to need. Back to you, Bruce. Our

next couple is Sid Owen and his partner, Ola Jordan. There's been a

lot of drama and tension between them this week. What's been going

on? Has there been a big argument in training? Has there been an

injury? Will they even be able to dance?

(EastEnders Theme Music) APPLAUSE Actually, they're fine. I

was just building up the drama a bit. Here they are in training.

Saturday night, first few steps were a little bit dodge, but as I

got into it I enjoyed it. I didn't expect it to be that good. You have

something special. All these lovely comments from the judges, it was

unreal. From Len, I was overjoyed. I couldn't believe it. Yes! A lot

of emotions run through your mind. Don't cry. I am not crying.

are! He has tears in his eyes. So sweet! I did get a little bit

choked up. Monday morning and it's all about the next dance. How many

steps? Three. Why are you doing five? I don't know. This week we

are attempting the salsa. OK, grab my leg. Sorry, I thought it was the

other one. There's a lot going on in the routine. I have three lifts.

I will just drop her on her head now. A headstand. I don't know who

Ola thinks I am. Louis did it in the first week. She thinks I am

about 20. I can't believe I am doing this. Let's pray to God that

it all comes off on the night. Dancing the salsa, Sid Owen and Ola

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Look at this!

Look at that. Better than acting! Don't get that with acting. I love

that New Zealand bit, the rugby player bit in the middle. Sorry, I

forgot some steps. Nobody noticed, you shouldn't have said anything!

Bruno? Sid, the good thing is the Sid Vicious attitude! Yeah! But I

am telling you, because of the attitude, you disguise incredible

amount of mistakes. You were off timing almost all the way through.

The timing was completely off. Salsa is all about timing and

having the hips going the correct way. You can't force it all the

time. You know, it's got to be smooth. Sorry, the performance was

very high, but you couldn't disguise the lack of technique.

There we are. Craig, did you agree? Yes, I do, it was haphazard, I

would like to see more connectivity. On the bright side, I loved the

routine. I thought it was fantastic. The knee slide was excellent. I

loved the hip rotation that you had. There's a lot of good in there.

Thank you. A lot of good. And Darcey? The nerves are gone, you

are relaxed. I would just say the energy died a little bit. But

generally, you partnered Ola brilliantly. So much confidence

there, I was confident watching do you all the lifts with her. Come

back and show me some more hips next time. Very good on the lifts.

What's she doing? Leave him alone! The salsa is hot and spicy, it's

from the Caribbean, Kingston Jamaica, this was more the Thames.

More formal. I think - you went a bit wrong and then it all sort of

went. You got to get out there and you are as good as you are, just

get out there and give it some more. Go on, Sid! You can do that. Go on,

well done. Off you go. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Yes! Sid Vicious in the house! Even Craig loved those hips. What's it

like getting to showcase this new side of Sid? It's bizarre, actually.

You got a bit excited. I did get really excited. You can't blame me,

can you? We could feel it up here. I did lose the steps a bit. It was

good. Brilliant. There was a Louis one-hand hapbstand. The scores are

Not a bad score. That's all right. Got to keep working harder. What

have you got next week if you are here? A tango. I have high hopes

for that. What did you think of Sid's hips? Have they hypnotised

you? If you want him back here. Remember,

don't call until I tell you. Over to you, Bruce.

Our next couple is Kimberley Walsh and Pasha Kovalev. APPLAUSE Lovely.

Last week Kim pwer lay wowed us -- Kim pwer lay pwer Kim pwer

Kimberley wowed us with, how did they get on in training? Saturday

night I really thoroughly enjoyed it. And she went alone. Please can

you bring back that wow factor next week? I will try!

I thought the whole thing was incandescent, darling. What does

that mean? I didn't think it was right to ask at the time. I was

hoping it was positive. I am going to call you nimble Kimble. I hope

that sticks, I thought it was hilarious. Pasha calls the foxtrot

the King of the ballroom dances. you can foxtrot, you can dance.

really want to make it look elegant and smooth and right now it doesn't

look like that. Basically, if I feel in quite a lot of pain and

very uncomfortable it usually means I am in the right position. We have

to go through the pain to make a beautiful dance. Darcey said I

brought the wow factor last week but she also asked me to bring it

back again this week. I guess anything less than "wow" is not

going to be good enough for her. Dancing the foxtrot, Kimberley

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

Wonderful. That had saufp move to it. Well done, both of you. Must

have been a very good week. I tell you that. OK, Craig, will you start

us off? I thought it was absolutely gorgeous, I loved the routine. You

danced it beautifully. The only thing that did bother me was your

jaw. It was really protruding forward. You need to pull that back

a bit, darling. Just try and really hard to look left, aren't you? But

it ruins the line a little bit. do you think I feel? LAUGHTER Shut

up, get off! Darcey, darling. beautiful mood you created,

Kimberley. I would only say in the top line it gets a bit soft in your

centre and watch the gapping between the two of you and I am

sure he's said that a few times. But a wonderful attitude promenade,

where you held that line. Maybe not the wow factor, but still a very,

very nice foxtrot. And Len? know, I thought it was limp, I

didn't feel there was enough conviction in the dance. You were

hanging on. You went wrong. Listen, it's good enough and good enough is

better than not enough but for you it's got to be more than enough.

Our expectations are huge. You You got to do better than that, girl.

Fair enough. I love the set-up, I love the style, I love the

performance. Yes, in hold you need more body contact and you don't

lift from the chin, you lift from the spine. The whole thing looked

very, very pretty. You were doing an impression of me there! It was

wonderful. They all loved it. Good things there. Watch the chin, dear.

Keep it out of the way. Up the stairs! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Come here, you. Can I say that's the prettiest jaw I think I have

ever seen. You split the judges there. Yeah, you know what, I was

really, really nervous. I could feel it really affecting me. A

little bit disappointed. It's like we saw a different dance to them.

What are you going to do next week? I need to work on it more, more

time to get it into my body. The nerves really took over. You are

getting more confident with Pasha, I think. Yeah, I don't know.

Tonight I felt it was a bit much. Better score than we thought. And

you brought your bandmates in. Did that make you more nervous? I was

nervous tonight maybe because I was going so late on in the show.

We open the phonelines later. One couple must leave which means the

pressure to perform is huge. The scores are only half the story.

Your votes can save your favourites. Back to you, Bruce. Our next couple

is supermodel Jerry Hall and her partner, Anton Anton Du Beke.

APPLAUSE And may I say, what a pairing. I said, how are you going

to cope with having a partner who spends all day posing in front of

the mirror? Jerry said, I will just have to put up with it! LAUGHTER

But he is still lovely. Here they are in training.

I thought the dancing went OK, but it was a masterclass in how to work

a fur shawl. I thought I did that really well. You have taken minimal

to a new lovely. I suppose I meant do more cha-cha-cha. But I mean, I

did what I was told and I thought it went OK. You have the assets,

use them. Dance more! Get her to work harder on those steps. I used

all kinds of assets. That needs work. This week we have the foxtrot.

The judges can't complain about there not being enough steps

because it's all steps. It's difficult because we only have four

days to learn very difficult dance. What? Zig-zag. I know Jerry wants

to do as well as she can because she's having such fun. The other

way. In order to be good at something, you have to enjoy it.

There was a few mistakes. I am starting to feel a little

competitive. Let's try and do it without messing up. OK. I wish I

thought of that! I don't want to be too good in the beginning because I

want to give the other ones a chance.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

Dancing the foxtrot, Jerry Hall and APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

You did it! You got through it! Have you anything to say? I had

fun! Good, I am glad about that. I thought we had established that

first. Darcey. Thank you, Jerry. You have worked harder, I can see

it and you start with this beautiful posture but you lose it

early on. In the hold, the shoulders come up and the elbows

drop, really watch that. It's so important. I can see you are trying

to create this lovely style of Fred and Ginger but you have to follow

through. The focus for the finished performsance must be there still.

Don't lose it. OK, good advice. Len? You want to give the others a

chance, you have accomplished that, for sure! Don't look like that. I

liked the content. I appreciated a heel turn was in there. I liked the

mix of steps. Your problem is you are too vertical. That is the

problem. You have got to stretch up. You have to move away from - that,

do it. Go on. Straighten yourself, girl. APPLAUSE. You got to stretch

away. You are too vertical, my lovely. We don't like to give you

everything in one go. Keep some in reserve. Anton, Jerry's stuck on

you! Like velcro! Lift and separate, darling. But you, you know, she

doesn't break a sweat, because a girl let's the man do the work.

They're right, I love watching you, there was a lot in it. I am waiting

for more. Craig, are you waiting for more? I sure am! It looked like

Anton was dancing with Mr Burns from The Simpsons. It was all like

this. Posture, posture. The last time I saw posture like that was

this summer in my tkpard -- garden on a praying mantis. He hasn't got

a garden! Right, but that's the finish of it. I think that's enough.

Wonderful. A lot of fun to watch you both. Off you go. Well done.

So endlessly fabulous. Marvellous. She was marvellous. Some of the

worst accents I ever heard. Don't even attempt the accent, I failed.

I didn't know Craig was from Wales Wales! Len liked the content. Do

you think your modelling skills will help you with the posture.

It's hard to get a distance from Anton. Don't look at me, I say. She

can't help it! She can't help herself. Don't blame her for that.

What are you going to give them next week if you are still here?

don't know. We have a quickstep. This is going to and joy. A lot of

steps. They're all going to be quick. That's a good sign. I am not

sure I will have good posture for What do you think? If you want to

see Jerry strike a pose in that quickstep in the ballroom next week

Give us a pose, Jerry. Oh, have it. Yes! We will use that. Glamour.

Back to you, Bruce. What's going on up there? Our final

couple is Lisa Riley and her partner, Robin Windsor. APPLAUSE

Well, last week when she finished that routine and skaut Rob --

caught Robin this place went crazy. It stopped the show, because of

that famous lift she's been offered lots of different work. I said,

film, television or theatre? She said, no, the Fire Brigade. Right,

here they are in training. Get ready.

I can't believe how well the routine went last week. Everyone

was clapping. I thought, we are doing all right here. I think

they're enjoying it. That was grand, beautiful, exuberant entertainment!

You can dance! We couldn't believe it. No way, this isn't real. Shut

up! That's the highest score of the weekend. What more do you want? It

was the best night of my life. I am completely on cloud nine. I think I

am going to be on cloud nine forever, because - well, I say that

until I do the Viennese waltz and it all goes pear-shaped. We are

going from a high energy cha-cha- cha, to a fluid, graceful Viennese

waltz. I have to be a Princess, try to be. It's all about the way you

walk, hold yourself. You have grace. I am definitely more of a fast

boppy girl. It's a challenge and I love a challenge. Because we are

top of the leader board for the cha-cha week, I don't feel I am out

of the danger zone. Obviously, I have to get the grace right or I am

going to get the bus home. Dancing the Viennese waltz, Lisa

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING What about it! Lisa, that was so

wonderful, darling. So wonderful. Your little feet, they're beautiful.

I can't stop them! What a lovely story. I love the

story. You didn't invite him in for coffee. No! I had to go in my

carriage. Cinderella. I missed that bit! Len? It was a panto. We had

Prince Charming and Cinderella the fairy Godmother and ugly sisters.

In hold, you have to work on - come and see me after the show. I will

explain it. Be careful, dear. Right, Bruno. What I love love about you,

we always get full-on entertainment. It's like a mini series. I am shy,

I am graceful, I am going, I am coming, I am getting it all. That's

a good thing. Len is right, I have to go with him, technically

sometimes actually you were so into it, it looked like you were leading

him. He is the Prince! He's got to lead. It comes out of your energy.

In this kind of dance it has to be much more refined, my darling. Len

is right. All right. Good points. Craig? You danced that with great

dexterity. It was light. I didn't expect it to be. It was graceful.

But it is true, the man should lead, darling. Remember that! Darcey?

love the focus in your eyes from the very beginning, it's beautiful.

It creates a wonderful mood straightaway. It's true, you do try

a bit hard in the transitions and you grab your man. Let him grab you.

He's got to be the guy that's going to lead you around. It's true, the

guys are right. You give a beautiful energy. Have you always

been a grabber! Always! Off you go. It was wonderful.

feel like a Princess. I need to get back to my northern roots now.
