:01:52. > :02:17.Tess Daly. That's your lot. No more stretch!
:02:17. > :02:24.Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Strictly come to think --
:02:24. > :02:31.Strictly Come Dancing. It's nice to see you, to see you... Nice! There
:02:31. > :02:39.is a great line-up this year, even a world-class golfer. I know, Tony
:02:39. > :02:46.Jacklin. A fantastic golfer. I played with him once. And I beat
:02:46. > :02:53.him. Really? You beat Tony Jacklin? I remember it well. It all came down
:02:53. > :03:01.to the last hole. The sun was setting, and I lined up my part. And
:03:01. > :03:13.then what happened? It went straight through the blades of the windmill.
:03:13. > :03:21.You are so quick! I never finished the line. No wonder they call it
:03:21. > :03:27.crazy golf. He went ballistic. The time has come. This is a bumper
:03:27. > :03:33.weekend of ballroom. It starts right here tonight, and our 15 celebrities
:03:33. > :03:39.spent three weeks training hard. They are ready to take their very
:03:39. > :03:44.first steps on this floor. They will perform tonight and then tomorrow
:03:44. > :03:50.evening the remaining nine couples will have a go. If you listen very
:03:50. > :04:00.carefully, you can probably hear their hearts pounding. That's me!
:04:00. > :04:10.Keep going! It is time to meet the stars of our show.
:04:10. > :04:19.Pop when Seth Sophie and expect to -- Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Brendan
:04:19. > :04:24.Cole. BBC breakfast presenter Susanna Reid and her partner Kevin
:04:24. > :04:26.Clifton. England rugby hero Ben Cohen and his partner Kristina
:04:26. > :05:39.Rihanoff. There they all are. There they all
:05:39. > :05:43.are, our celebrities and their professional partners. They have
:05:43. > :05:52.been paired together for three week. Who said it wouldn't last?
:05:52. > :06:00.Some of them are looking nervous. Some are looking excited. And some
:06:00. > :06:04.of them are looking for the exit! But the good news is that no
:06:04. > :06:12.celebrities are leaving this week. But the judges' score paddles will
:06:12. > :06:19.be making an appearance. And scores will be carried through to next
:06:19. > :06:22.week, and the couples with the lowest combined scores and public
:06:22. > :06:27.votes will have to face the dreaded an soph. So let's kick off this
:06:27. > :06:31.fabulous new series. Our first couple is Ashley Taylor
:06:31. > :06:54.Dawson and his partner Ola Jordan. Ashley's wife was due to give birth
:06:54. > :06:59.to their second child yesterday. This is all for real. Ashley, if
:06:59. > :07:04.there is anything I can do, just let me know. I don't know anything about
:07:04. > :07:11.childbirth, but if you have to leave, I can have a dance with Ola.
:07:11. > :07:23.I think she could keep up with me, couldn't you, dear? We might do a
:07:23. > :07:29.bit of twerking. Here is what they've been up to.
:07:29. > :07:37.Hollyoaks hunk Ashley Taylor Dawson has always enjoyed healthy
:07:37. > :07:39.competition. I put in a lot of tennis when I was young, and I
:07:39. > :07:45.enjoyed it. But then I discovered tennis when I was young, and I
:07:45. > :07:53.acting, and I wanted to try it. And here I am, covered in sequins, and
:07:53. > :07:59.I'm dancing on national television in front of millions. I couldn't be
:07:59. > :08:02.further out of my depth if I tried. My first reaction when I found out
:08:02. > :08:08.my partner was Ola was sheer delight. When I looked into her
:08:08. > :08:13.eyes, she made me feel comfortable, so I couldn't be happier. I think
:08:13. > :08:21.secretly all of the girls wanted to get Ashley. He is very good looking.
:08:21. > :08:34.Here's to a nice dance! I get up at 6.45. I am on set for the whole day,
:08:34. > :08:41.and then I go home for the hour, and then I get to the studio and train
:08:41. > :08:46.until midnight. When you're trying to in all of the step is, and being
:08:46. > :08:53.tired, I worry my head might burn out. He is pushing himself very
:08:53. > :08:58.hard, and I can see he is tired. His fiancee is going to give birth any
:08:58. > :09:02.time soon. So we have to have the phone on all of the time. I thought
:09:02. > :09:09.that was it then! Is the baby coming? I don't know how I will fit
:09:09. > :09:11.it all in, but I feel like the luckiest man in the world doing all
:09:11. > :09:15.it all in, but I feel like the these things. Dancing the cha-cha,
:09:15. > :09:27.Ashley to the Dawson and Ola Jordan. MUSIC: What makes you beautiful by
:09:27. > :10:53.One Direction. APPLAUSE
:10:53. > :11:06.. What an opening of the show! And to
:11:06. > :11:18.think that could have been me. And of course, we have our judges.
:11:18. > :11:29.Let's welcome our judges. Just before I forget,
:11:29. > :11:32.congratulations to Len Goodman, who Just before I forget,
:11:32. > :11:45.recently got married. And we all hope you and your wife
:11:45. > :11:54.spent many happy years together pickling your walnuts. What else is
:11:54. > :12:02.there to do? Len, now you're good lady is a good man. I was up all
:12:02. > :12:12.night thinking of that. Start us off. Your leg action could have been
:12:12. > :12:19.a little straighter. Could have been a little crisper hereunder. Some
:12:19. > :12:33.will be smooth sailing, others will sink without trace. Ashley, sale
:12:33. > :12:39.on! Bruno, what did you think? Ashley, you looked surprisingly at
:12:39. > :12:47.ease on your hands and knees. And your face when you were admiring
:12:47. > :12:51.Ola's behind, that was a picture! And you should be happy, because
:12:51. > :12:52.your timing was very good. You have to work on your foot placement and
:12:52. > :13:10.your hips, but first out, well done. Now, Craig. I thought you had a good
:13:11. > :13:17.amount of rhythm. But your hip is our extremely stiff. There is
:13:17. > :13:24.nothing going on there. The footwork was feral. You missed a catch in the
:13:24. > :13:31.middle of that whole thing, and you need to straighten your legs. When
:13:31. > :13:37.you do that body roll, you need to go through the entire body, darling.
:13:37. > :13:47.The good point is you are easy on the eye.
:13:47. > :14:00.Right. Darcey? It was a very confident first dance. Really
:14:00. > :14:07.impressive. You obviously really enjoy dancing with Ola. The only
:14:07. > :14:14.thing I would say, when you do a turn, don't look to the floor. I was
:14:14. > :14:19.a bit worried, make sure you keep up, keep the eye level up. But if
:14:19. > :14:23.you start like this, you will do very well.
:14:23. > :14:43.A wonderful start to the show! Well done, both of you.
:14:43. > :14:56.Very confident first dans, said Darcey. How did it feel being the
:14:56. > :15:00.first couple? It was very scary. High alert anyway, your wife is
:15:00. > :15:05.about to give birth. Not an easy time. We're waiting for the phone
:15:05. > :15:14.call. If you have to leave, we understand. Ola, how has he been as
:15:14. > :15:35.a partner? Absolutely brilliant. The scores are in.
:15:35. > :15:47.First dans up the series and we get seven from Len. Very happy. They
:15:47. > :15:53.have done the cha-cha-cha into the competition. No one is leaving us
:15:53. > :15:59.tonight but the judge's scores will carry over to next week and then we
:15:59. > :16:04.will find out which couples will face the dance off.
:16:04. > :16:16.The next couple is Tony Jacklin and his partner Aliona Vilani. They are
:16:16. > :16:22.going to do a waltz. It is based on a railway station goodbye. It is the
:16:23. > :16:27.same old story, boy meets girl. The girl gets on the train. Boy waves
:16:28. > :16:33.goodbye from the platform. Girl waits on the train. Girl keeps
:16:33. > :16:38.waiting on the train. And then about an hour and a half later, she is
:16:38. > :16:42.told to leave the train to go outside and catch a replacement bus
:16:42. > :16:47.service! APPLAUSE
:16:47. > :16:55.This is what they have been up to. As the first golfer ever to tee off
:16:55. > :17:01.on Strictly, you would have thought Tony Jacklin would have a fair way
:17:01. > :17:05.to go to fit in. I used to like wearing bright things on the golf
:17:05. > :17:10.course and standing out. I never minded dressing up for the
:17:10. > :17:17.competition. More sparkle the better. Aliona is the consummate
:17:17. > :17:24.professional. I have no doubt her standards are very high. Tony gave
:17:24. > :17:29.me a nice kiss on the cheek. I am sure there is a Fred Astaire in
:17:29. > :17:34.there. I have seen him dance and he has a natural swing in his hip, but
:17:34. > :17:40.his footwork will need a lot of work. I know Aliona won the
:17:40. > :17:46.competition two years ago and I don't want to let her down. Tony is
:17:46. > :17:51.based in Florida, so the first rehearsal takes place at home. The
:17:51. > :17:56.professionals make it look easy. There is much more to it than meets
:17:56. > :18:05.the eye. Squeeze those thighs together. Tony is a fighter. He is
:18:05. > :18:09.struggling but he is not giving up. With her patience and my
:18:09. > :18:13.perseverance, we will get this done. Aliona has been very patient and I
:18:13. > :18:21.will treat her to a trip out to my club and it is a few balls. Nice and
:18:21. > :18:33.wide and smooth. Fantastic! Wonderful stuff. Now what? Now,
:18:33. > :18:40.let's do some dancing. I love the Florida lifestyle, but the United
:18:40. > :18:42.Kingdom -- I am coming home. Dancing the waltz, Tony Jacklin and
:18:42. > :19:11.Aliona Vilani. MUSIC: "Hernando's Hideaway".
:19:11. > :20:36.Aliona Vilani. Come here, Tony.
:20:36. > :20:44.Well done. While you get your breath back, there is a chance to welcome
:20:44. > :20:53.our fabulous singles, David Arce and his wonderful orchestra. -- singles.
:20:53. > :20:57.We can see the wonderful bands, we can see you all. I don't know if it
:20:57. > :21:07.is such a good idea, but anyway. Bruno? The waltz, sentimental,
:21:07. > :21:14.romantic, floating and soft. I didn't see much of that. But there
:21:14. > :21:21.were some moments. You were swinging around, happily. Skipping. But it
:21:21. > :21:28.was a second and venue turned into a collaborative is toy toys. I think
:21:28. > :21:32.it was because of nerves. I could see you accounting and thinking so
:21:32. > :21:38.much about it you stopped moving. Let yourself go. Make a mistake, but
:21:38. > :21:49.follow the flow. She is a great dancer. It is the first time. They
:21:49. > :22:00.are so courageous to come out here in the first place. Now, Craig? You
:22:00. > :22:05.became the hunchback. It was littered with errors and mistakes.
:22:05. > :22:22.It just got worse and worse towards the end. You were not leading, a bit
:22:22. > :22:31.of a disaster, I would say. This boy has got you really just where he
:22:31. > :22:39.wants you. If only you did have a golf ball. Darcey, darling. I know
:22:39. > :22:43.what it is like when nerves get the better of you. It is terrifying. I
:22:43. > :22:48.know how you feel, but you have got it out of the way. You will come
:22:48. > :22:54.back to confident Tony we know. The competitive Tony. Show as many moves
:22:54. > :23:03.I know you have up your sleeve next week. People don't believe how
:23:03. > :23:15.difficult it is to come out and do this. You are the spirit of this
:23:15. > :23:17.show. No dancing experience. Coming out and having a go. This is the
:23:17. > :23:21.show. No dancing experience. Coming first week, you are trying to
:23:21. > :23:32.remember the routine, trying to get through it. I say, well done! Thank
:23:32. > :23:37.you so much. I know Tony joins me and all European golfers in wishing
:23:37. > :23:42.Bernard Gallacher a speedy and full recovery. Thank you, Aliona will
:23:42. > :24:09.stop off you go. We agree with Len Goodman up here.
:24:09. > :24:14.Those judges were being very harsh for the first night. Lots of
:24:14. > :24:20.nervous, you have left the Florida sunshine to be here in Elstree, was
:24:20. > :24:29.it worth it? I feel as hot as I do in Florida. It is fine. It is an
:24:29. > :24:34.adventure. Indeed. Aliona, has he done you proud? Very proud. He has
:24:34. > :24:40.worked so hard, I have never seen done you proud? Very proud. He has
:24:40. > :24:42.anybody sweat so much. He is going to wipe his face on Craig's shirt.
:24:42. > :25:08.Can we have the scores please? Extreme. Tony has teed off, I think
:25:08. > :25:16.he will head to the 19th hole for a well-deserved tipple. Will the
:25:16. > :25:32.others find themselves in the rough? Next is a mark Benton and his
:25:32. > :25:46.partner, and veteran Lucas shooter. Did you get that? Mark Benton has
:25:46. > :25:58.appeared in films. I said my favourite film was The Wizard Of Oz.
:25:58. > :26:09.He asked me why. I said, " because, because, because". Here is what they
:26:09. > :26:12.have been up to. I grew up in Grangetown in the Middle East. My
:26:12. > :26:18.uncle was an actor and I wanted to be like him. Coming from that
:26:18. > :26:22.background, I never thought I would end up dressed like this. I want to
:26:22. > :26:24.get fit and lose a bit of weight. Looking at the training, I don't
:26:24. > :26:26.get fit and lose a bit of weight. think there is any way I cannot it
:26:26. > :26:33.was a complete shock when I found think there is any way I cannot it
:26:33. > :26:42.out my partner. I want our dancers to be memorable. She is funny. I am
:26:42. > :26:49.going to work him so hard, in two weeks he will have a figure like
:26:49. > :26:55.mine. I will be dancing with her, what a shame! Somebody has got to do
:26:55. > :27:00.it. That was good. There is much more to it than you think. When she
:27:00. > :27:07.is doing it, she makes it look so simple. He said, I will try
:27:07. > :27:13.everything. I will get it if it kills me. For the last nine months I
:27:13. > :27:24.am used to dancing around in make up with a wig and heels. I am doing Her
:27:24. > :27:31.Spray. . I do dance on the stage, so I want her to come and see me in
:27:31. > :27:37.that. As I am all dressed up, why don't we have a dance. I knew this
:27:37. > :27:43.would be tough, but it is a killer. I want to do the tango as it should
:27:43. > :27:54.be done. Come on the big man! Dancing the tango, Mark Denton.
:27:54. > :29:50.How about this man? That was lovely, Mark. And the face said it all.
:29:50. > :29:58.Craig? The Tango should be sharp, it should have intent and purpose. The
:29:58. > :30:07.intent and purpose was good. However, the right thumb, darling.
:30:08. > :30:13.That bothers me. You are picking up your feet and jumping about, which
:30:13. > :30:19.is not great. Hand shaping needs a little attention. But I thought you
:30:19. > :30:26.danced it actually rather well. APPLAUSE
:30:26. > :30:33.I'm glad we started with Craig! Darcey? Brilliantly played. You are
:30:33. > :30:39.going to be the most brilliant entertainer for us. I was a little
:30:39. > :30:45.worried at the beginning, when your chin got stuck to your chest. But as
:30:45. > :30:50.soon as you got in to hold, you were strong and masculine. And you were
:30:50. > :31:02.in control of your woman. It was fab. I am well impressed. And I saw
:31:02. > :31:07.a Len Goodman jumping up and down! As he came out, I thought, this is
:31:07. > :31:12.going to be like a sneeze. You know it is coming, but there is nothing
:31:12. > :31:17.you can do. But Mark, you had attitude! Recognisable steps
:31:17. > :31:25.throughout the dance, a lovely story going on. Your frame was OK. And I
:31:25. > :31:34.am shocked how good that was. Well done! APPLAUSE
:31:34. > :31:40.And finishing up with Bruno. I loved the way you set up the
:31:40. > :31:46.scene. It was like a tango with a comedic twist. You had so much
:31:46. > :31:52.content in there, but Craig is right. You cannot step the Tango,
:31:52. > :31:58.you have to drive through the foot and keep this proud Latin attitude
:31:58. > :32:18.through it. Great performance. Well done indeed. Iveta, away you go.
:32:18. > :32:34.What about that? My mouth is so dry. The best Tango face ever, quite
:32:34. > :32:41.properly. Can we have a replay? As an actor, you must have been right
:32:41. > :32:47.at home with the drama of it. It was great fun to do. And Len Goodman was
:32:47. > :32:55.shocked how good it was, and Craig said it was really good, so well
:32:55. > :32:59.done. I knew it about the thumb! If that is all you have to worry about,
:32:59. > :33:17.you are doing really well. The scores.
:33:17. > :33:29.Not bad at all. We will get you danced fit. Three more couples to
:33:29. > :33:34.perform this evening. Anybody want to see some more?
:33:34. > :33:38.CHEERING I know I do.
:33:38. > :33:48.Who's next? Our next couple is Susanna Reid and her partner, Kevin
:33:48. > :33:54.Clifton. In this dance, Susanna is a breakfast presenter, and Kevin is
:33:54. > :33:58.her floor manager. A floor manager's job is to tell the present
:33:58. > :34:04.of where to stand, and tell them when the camera is on them.
:34:04. > :34:11.Basically, his job is to stop the presenter looking like an idiot. I
:34:11. > :34:18.wish we had one on this show. Here's what they've been up to.
:34:18. > :34:28.Now in the spotlight, broadcaster Susanna Reid is feeling Strictly out
:34:28. > :34:32.of this world. I feel like I have landed in a sequinned glitter ball
:34:32. > :34:38.rocket, and the air feels slightly different. It only seems about five
:34:38. > :34:44.minutes ago I was sat at home in Grimsby watching Susanna on the
:34:44. > :34:49.telly. Now I am dancing with her. All the professional dancers have
:34:49. > :34:53.the ability to turn on a bit of sex appeal. I am looking forward to
:34:53. > :35:03.bringing out the other side of her, the sassy, sparky side. That's a bit
:35:03. > :35:11.different! The headline is we're throwing you in at the deep end.
:35:11. > :35:16.Good evening. Breaking news from the training room. I am Susanna Reid,
:35:16. > :35:21.and this is my professional partner, Susanna Clifton -- Kevin Clifton.
:35:21. > :35:29.How a Youga to turn me into a dancer? We are having a lot of fun,
:35:29. > :35:33.and Kevin is the expert, so it is natural for me to interview him.
:35:33. > :35:38.When did you first start dancing? You finding it?
:35:38. > :35:44.Was it because your sister was doing it? Question, answer, question,
:35:44. > :35:46.answer. And finally, what is Craig Revel
:35:46. > :35:53.Horwood going to think of our dance? It was a little less ballroom
:35:54. > :35:56.and a little more newsroom, darling. This is Susanna Reid on the sofa in
:35:57. > :36:02.the training room, frankly terrified.
:36:02. > :36:15.Dancing the jive, Susanna Reid and Kevin Clifton.
:36:15. > :38:13.What are you up to, Susanna? ! You could never do that with Bill
:38:13. > :38:17.Turnbull. Was not a news flash? Gracious, that was wonderful.
:38:17. > :38:26.Darcey, what did you think? Wow, Susanna! You really sold me that
:38:26. > :38:32.drive -- jive. High energy and style all the way through. You didn't lose
:38:32. > :38:38.it. I would just recommend maybe try a low heel, see you get more bounce
:38:38. > :38:43.with those needs. But I can't wait to see what you do next week!
:38:44. > :38:48.APPLAUSE Wonderful.
:38:48. > :38:53.The BBC is proud of you. Len? You got one of the hardest dances to do
:38:53. > :38:58.one week one. That was chicken soup to the eyes. It was tasty,
:38:58. > :39:07.satisfying, did me the world of good. I thought you did it's
:39:07. > :39:12.terrific. Fabulous. Very courageous to do that the first
:39:12. > :39:24.week. Who's idea was it? The king of jive! Read all about it! This girl
:39:24. > :39:29.can shake it! No more sofa for you. You have a fantastic stage presence,
:39:29. > :39:34.and your energy was incredible. You have to be sharper on the kicks and
:39:34. > :39:41.flip is. One from the hip and the other from the knee. But I'm telling
:39:41. > :39:46.you, as the first one out, again, fantastic.
:39:46. > :39:55.Now, Craig? Please don't spoil it. Now for the cold hard truth,
:39:55. > :40:02.darling. Every step was extremely laboured. Don't raise your shoulder
:40:02. > :40:07.when your arm goes up. I thought it was a little bit heavy looking at
:40:07. > :40:11.times. And I would never have attempted that cartwheel, because
:40:11. > :40:20.that went horribly wrong. But on a positive note, the energy and
:40:20. > :40:27.personality were fantastic. Sublime. APPLAUSE
:40:27. > :40:30.If you are going to kiss anybody, Kiss me!
:40:30. > :40:47.You have done the BBC proud. Off you go.
:40:47. > :40:54.You got a standing ovation for your very first dance, I don't think that
:40:54. > :40:57.has ever happened before. Thank you to Kevin who is absolutely
:40:57. > :41:00.brilliant. He just kind of dragged me through it. You looked like you
:41:00. > :41:05.are having the time of your life. It me through it. You looked like you
:41:05. > :41:10.was brilliant, I really enjoyed it. Yes, that was awesome. How do you
:41:10. > :41:15.fit all that training around your schedule. 3am alarm calls, three
:41:15. > :41:37.children. I don't know how you did it. The scores are in.
:41:37. > :41:48.28, congratulations. That is a great first score. Four down, two to go.
:41:48. > :41:53.Will Sophie and Natalie make the front pages, or will they be
:41:53. > :41:59.tomorrow's fish and chips paper. The other couples will make their
:41:59. > :42:04.debuts tomorrow night. Our fifth couple is Sophie
:42:04. > :42:11.Ellis-Bextor and her partner Brendan Cole.
:42:11. > :42:22.For their dance, they are recreating a scene from that brilliant film
:42:22. > :42:27.Breath -- breakfast at Tiffany is. They are going to have a full moon
:42:27. > :42:35.in the background. Their song will be Moon River. I hope that as a
:42:35. > :42:46.special effect and not a wardrobe malfunction. Here is what they've
:42:46. > :42:52.been up to. Pop royalty is Sophie Ellis-Bextor is hoping to become the
:42:52. > :42:56.queen of the ballroom. I dance the whole time on stage, I don't dance
:42:56. > :43:03.particularly well, I just shimmy around. A big part of ballroom
:43:03. > :43:10.dancing is the chemistry between you and your partner. That doesn't come
:43:10. > :43:16.easy to me. The only man I have really danced with is my husband.
:43:16. > :43:29.Brendan has very nice manners, but he's not my husband. So that is a
:43:29. > :43:34.little bit alien. I had a schmaltzy moment when I was being twirled
:43:34. > :43:39.around and there was a glitter ball and I thought, I love this! For this
:43:40. > :43:46.waltz, we want sophisticated, beautiful, elegant. When I have said
:43:46. > :43:54.to be poor I'm doing a Walt is, they say, you will find it quite easy to
:43:54. > :44:00.be elegant, but that isn't me. So what is my character? Who is she?
:44:00. > :44:06.For me, she's just the epitome of feminine.
:44:06. > :44:14.It's kind of hard to know what she's going to be like on the show day.
:44:14. > :44:16.Stop standing on my feet! If we run through it three times, there may be
:44:16. > :44:20.one when I feel I am approaching the through it three times, there may be
:44:20. > :44:26.right shape, and the other two was more like the real me. So I hope I
:44:26. > :44:32.get the right one on the night. APPLAUSE
:44:32. > :44:40.Dancing the Walt, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Brendan Cole.
:44:40. > :46:31.they liked it very much. It was lovely. You did not want to do that,
:46:31. > :46:47.you wanted to do something a bit livelier? I normally stamp. It was
:46:47. > :46:53.quiet, understatements, I loved the fluidity. You lifted your feet of
:46:53. > :46:58.the floor. You have got a lovely neck. But the actual beauty of the
:46:58. > :47:09.the floor. You have got a lovely dance was gorgeous. You wanted to
:47:09. > :47:16.stamp on the floor. Grunow? We could sense the Laura of sophistication.
:47:16. > :47:32.So Byrne. You have got the mood right. Going right... It was
:47:32. > :47:41.beautiful. You have got to work to extend the top line. I liked it. It
:47:41. > :47:46.was the first dance. Craig? It is the top line letting you down. That
:47:46. > :47:56.would have been beautiful if you did not ruin it with the top half. What
:47:56. > :48:06.are you on about? Your favourite songs should be I Can't Get No
:48:06. > :48:16.Satisfaction. Darcey? It was beautiful. You carried it off.
:48:16. > :48:26.Beautiful. You should be very happy. Brendan, you have got a good one.
:48:26. > :48:43.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE what a first bands. Your mum was in
:48:43. > :48:49.the audience and was crying. You looked so Serena and so graceful,
:48:49. > :48:53.what was going through your head? Trying to enjoy it, remembering the
:48:53. > :48:59.notes. I don't just want to get through it, I want to enjoy it. It
:48:59. > :49:01.is a lovely thing, dancing. What an amazing thing, we are all going
:49:01. > :49:10.is a lovely thing, dancing. What an through an incredible thing. Did you
:49:10. > :49:11.enjoy it? I really, really did. I was petrified, but I did not throw
:49:11. > :49:46.up. Now the scores. I could not the more proud. She is a
:49:46. > :49:51.tremendous partner. Two nights of Strictly, back-to-back. Give him a
:49:51. > :50:00.tissue. If that is not enough sparkle, join us on Facebook and
:50:00. > :50:07.Twitter. Get to our website the backstage gossip. He is moved. Back
:50:07. > :50:20.to Bruce. Now, for final couple this evening, the former Coronation
:50:20. > :50:27.Street star, Natalie Gumede and her partner. I haven't watched
:50:27. > :50:34.Coronation Street for quite a while. I do apologise for that, mightily,
:50:34. > :50:49.how is Ena Sharples? Give her my love. Here is what they have been up
:50:49. > :50:54.to. Actress, Natalie Gumede is no stranger to two an active
:50:54. > :50:58.performance. Live performance is nothing like working in television.
:50:58. > :51:06.If something goes wrong you cannot do it again. I am feeling Compleat
:51:06. > :51:19.terror and nausea, but I cannot wait to be out there. Artem is a
:51:19. > :51:28.self-proclaimed Russian terminator. His introduction to me was, " don't
:51:28. > :51:34.cry on a Saturday night" . This is an exciting process to see how far I
:51:34. > :51:39.can be pushed. She is perfect, she is a bit feisty. She might be the
:51:39. > :51:46.one I am going to be scared of. I am having a cup of tea because Artem is
:51:47. > :51:54.late. It is not Goodenough. When I walked in, Natalie was ready to go.
:51:54. > :52:03.Let's get started. It felt like, she was more ready than I am. Again,
:52:03. > :52:10.gain! The chat chat is very tough. I am working to my absolute limits.
:52:10. > :52:16.You want to work hard, here we go. One more time, Artem. One more time.
:52:16. > :52:22.He is dying inside. I don't think he is used to anybody else taking the
:52:22. > :52:27.lead. I have not made it all the way through the dance yet, I hope it
:52:27. > :52:38.goes OK on the night. Dancing the chat chat is Natalie Gumede and
:52:38. > :54:36.Artem cheap vent serve Natalie, a standing ovation. Artem,
:54:36. > :54:43.my goodness that was fantastic! Bruneau?
:54:43. > :54:57.With that attitude, sexy, sensuous and lyrical arms at the same time,
:54:57. > :55:05.you will go far. But more hip action and be careful of your foot
:55:05. > :55:14.placement with the chat chat. You are a brilliant answer and so far
:55:14. > :55:22.the front runner. He does not say that to everybody. Darcey? I was not
:55:22. > :55:27.expecting that much detail in your first dance. The finish, eye contact
:55:28. > :55:36.with both of you was brilliant. I cannot wait to see what you will
:55:36. > :55:44.bring out next. It was clean, precise and have style and rhythm.
:55:44. > :55:48.Craig is right, you do need to get a bit more hip action going especially
:55:48. > :56:00.when you come to some of the Latin dances. But fabulous, well done. A
:56:00. > :56:15.Russian chat chat. I thought you would do some cobblers. Cossack
:56:15. > :56:18.dancing. Maybe I am talking a load of cobblers. Don't worry about it.

:57:48. > :58:04.I didn't even look. I am so happy. What is that? It is my new thing for
:58:04. > :58:15.today. I don't know where my head is supposed to be. It sounds as though
:58:15. > :58:26.your shoes are crying. In, out, in, out. That was all over the shop.
:58:26. > :58:37.This is commonly alien to me. Look into my eyes.
