Week 10 Strictly Come Dancing

Last week on Strictly: The ballroom reached boiling point as the

competition intensified. The judges took no prisoners in their quest for

perfection. Things that we've overlooked, we're going to be really

picking up on. Pull it out next time. No-one escaped unscathed. It

lacked drama. Mark survived his third dance-off by beating Ben. This

week, Strictly brushes off its top hat and tails for a night at the

musicals. # Luck be a lady tonight #

It's musicals week on Strictly Come Dancing. Please welcome your hosts,

Sir Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly. APPLAUSE

A standing ovation, all for us. All for us, that is. Sit down, please.

What an opening. Wasn't it just! Tapping their feet. Good evening

ladies and gentleman and children, welcome to Strictly Come Dancing,

it's nice to see you, to see you... Nice! It's nice to see you Brucie.

What an opener. It's going to be a great show tonight, all about the

musicals. I'm glad you mentioned that because only this week, I went

to a West End producer with an idea for turning Strictly Come Dancing

into a musical. Me and you Tess, in a musical. Oh, really? What did they

say? They said it's a good idea but they've got a show already called

Beauty and the Beast. APPLAUSE

Isn't that terrible, Tess, how dare they call you a beast.

LAUGHTER You're not a beast. ROARS

APPLAUSE The beast within.

Excuse me. That was lovely. Yeah. Last week, the judges pulled no

punches after a tough night in the ballroom, Mark and Iveta faced Ben

and Kristina in the dance-off. Mark reigned supreme and Big Ben had to

leave the competition. I'm so sad about that, I really am. That leaves

seven brides for seven brothers to take on tonight's musicals

spectacular. Our chorus line will be treading the boards to songs from

some of the greatest ever musicals. Let's see what our guys and dolls

have in store. Let's have a look. Goodness me. It's time to meet - I'm

trying to build the tension - the stars of our show!

Star Sophie Ellis-Bextor and her partner Brendan Cole.

Star of stage and screen Mark Benton and his partner Iveta Lukosiute.

BBC Breakfast presenter Susanna Reid and her partner Kevin Clifton.

Coronation Street Star Natalie Gumede and her partner Artem

Chigvintsev. Model and TV presenter Abbey Clancy

and her partner Aljaz Skornajec. From Hollyoaks, Ashley Taylor Dawson

and his partner Ola Jordan. And Casualty star Patrick Robinson

and his partner Anya Garnis. There they are! What about them.

There they all are. All ready to face our judges, but hang on,

there's one judge missing. Where's Craig? Where is he?

APPLAUSE Well! Didn't he move well. With his

new metal hip, and Craig, it goes so well with your heart of stone.

I can't believe after four weeks you are now moving around. I can highly

recommend it darling. I think I'll check in on Monday, I really will.

Tonight the competition is tougher than ever and so are our judges. Our

Magnificent 7 will high kick their way through their numbers for our

judges' scores and your votes at home. We're just three weeks away

from the Grand Final. None of our couples want to exit stage left.

That's right, or rather left. Are you doing the jokes? I tried! Who's

our first couple? Our first couple tonight is Patrick - where are you?

There you are. And not just Patrick, but Anya, wonderful dancers. Do you

mind going first? No robs. -- probs. Are you sure? Anybody else want to

go first? Because everybody hates going first.

They really do. Who's going last, then? Susanna, you're last? Do you

want to swap and go first? OK, Patrick, there you are, I did try,

good luck. Here you are in training. I loved doing the Viennese waltz.

The choreography was beautiful. However, last week wasn't our best

week, because the finals are looming. The judges are getting more

strict. Bad standing spin and I didn't like the ending thing, that

was ugly. I expect so much from you now. Just pull it out next time. The

judges want to push everyone. We're four weeks from the final, everybody

needs to step up the game. We have to do something special to stay in

the competition. This week, we are dancing the charleston. It's to

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. At this stage in the competition, it's

important to take risks. I know we've done lifts before, but this

time, they need to be perfect. I know I can't afford to do any

mistakes. Where are you so nervous. The pressure is on. I hope Patrick

is ready to bring his A game because I have a lot of faith in him. Do you

remember this song? I remember the flying car. Everybody wanted to fly

in the car. What a beautiful day for a drive in the English countryside.

Let's see what this car can really do.

Wow, we're flying. You look truly scrumptuous in that bonnet. It's

time to charleston. We need to wow the judges. Hopefully the charleston

will help us fly through to next week.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE What about that? ! What about it,

hey. Incredible. Come here. Look at this. You've set the place

alight. You really have. Would you like a sip of this? I would, thank

you vment -- Thank you. It's vodka! I'm only

kidding. Let's welcome our judges. Come on.

APPLAUSE it's not very often I'm sincere

about our judges, but in my opinion, you're all so talented. You could

all star in a musical. You really could. If last week's comments and

scores are anything to go by, you'd all be perfect for Les Miserables.

APPLAUSE Yes, that's from the heart. Len, I

tell you, well, what about that? I tell you what that was - that was

full of flash, bang, wallop. It's a show stopper. It was fantastic! I

salute you. Ure Len. -- you are right, Len. It was a show stopper.

Right, OK, Bruno? Talk about va-va-voom. That was Chitty Chitty

Bang Bang retuned by McLaren, driven by Lewis Hamilton going for the

Grand Prix. From what I'm concerned, you won it. What a lovely routine. I

can't tell you enough times. Craig? Well, I absolutely loved that first

rollover lift. That was brilliant. I loved the vaudevillian nature of it.

It was full of character. You packed that out. It was extremely fast. I

don't know how you kept up. That made you a little bit flat footed.

Also, you lost a little bit of stability in the last lift going

around into the lobster claw, darling. But I did love the polka

session and the whole routine was spectacular. You know how to turn it

around in the end. OK, Darcey? It was fast, wild and such difficult

timing. But you hit it on the nail. That was amazing. You have set the

mark so high tonight. Well done. Be so proud of yourselves. A

wonderful start. Thank you. You want to leave that with me, OK?

Whoa Patrick, oxygen. What a way to start the show. How are you feeling?

Is that a silly question? Keep doing that, that will help me. You must be

exhausted, even Australian ya, the pro -- Anya, the pro, you're

breathing heavy. I don't know how he did it. A very physical routine, did

you enJo I it? Loved it -- Enjoy it? Loved it. The pros were saying,

"That was the dance of the series. Anton was saying that, Karen too. I

know it must be a dream come true, a flying car. How much do you want to

be in the final with Patrick? It would be amazing just to, the first

year here, I can't even speak, still! To have you, thank you. The

judges loved it. Let's have a look at the scores:

CHEERING Three 10s, a standing ovation and

the pros' dance of the series. Feel good? Extremely good. Thank you. If

Patrick and his find four fendered friend, the car, made your day,

call: Or you can vote online for free.

The votes won't open until all our couples have danced. Don't call now,

if you do, your vote won't count and you may be charged. Patrick, you've

set the bar really high! Who's going to follow that? Time for more music

and dancing. I'm glad I'm not following it. I

tell you that. Now for our next couple, wait a minute, look who's

coming up, it's Natalie and her partner, Artem.

Natalie is dancing to a song from Dreamgirls, the musical that was

loosely based the story of The Supremes. Natalie asked if I was

trendy enough to appreciate The Supremes. I said, of course I am!

She asked which supreme I thought was the best. I said, the seven-inch

stuffed crust. APPLAUSE

Do I fancy one now, I tell you that. They never give me a break. Here

they are in training. I was feeling pretty nervous before

the dance. We really noticed that the judges were being a lot harder

on everyone. I thought the whole thing lacks a bit of drama. Are you

out of your mind? Mistakes deaf -- the stakes are getting higher. From

this point onwards, every dance could be your last. This week, we

are dancing the American smooth. They expect to see something

unbelievable lift-wise. It's daunting as hell. I do tend to panic

a bit when my feet come off the ground. I know it's a bit scary, but

I have a surprise for you. Here we are to face your fear of lifts.

That's so high. I already don't want to do it.

You don't mind if I just... If you can do this, then lifts on Saturday

night will be, "I've got it. I don't want to do. This I can't. I really

can't do it. Your body is going - why are we doing this? That's the

scariest thing I've ever done. I can't do it.

I honestly thought I was going to have a heart attack. Rubbish -

lifts? If I can conquer the that pees, I can conquer anything. I hope

now our American smooth will have some extra lift on Saturday.

MUSIC: And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going

What about it? The dancing this year, Artem and Natalie, oh, you

should be so thrilled. The emotion here in the studio was incredible

during that dance. Whilst you get your breath back, it's a good time

to welcome our fabulous singers, Dave Arch and his wonderful

orchestra! APPLAUSE

And the music tonight! That last song, the arrangements and

everything. Bruno, you start. Natalie, you danced like a true

dream girl. I'm telling you, the flow, the sweep, the shapes,

sometimes it look as if they turn into a fluid and all the accent in

the music, you interpreted with a great drama beneath it. It was like

a story being told. I lived every moment with you. It was absolutely

sublime. I couldn't have said it better

myself. I can't believe you gave Patrick an

8! I'm going to mark you for your entrance when you were phantom. I'm

giving you a two. APPLAUSE

That's two more than I deserve, I'm sure.

I loved that crucifix lift at the beginning, very, very strong. It was

sharp. It was clean all the way through. I thought it flowed from

one move to the other beautifully. I would like to see a little more in

hold. You have a tendency to look down before you enter lifts. You

need to get out of that habit, because it indicates that you're

going into a lift. It would be so lovely if you had your chin up, but

incredible. That's right. Incredible. That's the

word I wanted him to say. Darcey? It's true, the fluidity and just,

the mirroring between you, I mean, that step coming forward was

stunning, really stunning and the light and shade, you really use the

music both of you. Artem, beautifully choreographed. You

really worked well together. It's true, just watch the very last lift,

you didn't need to grab to come out of that, it would have been just

perfect. You could have slid off the back of him. That would be the only

thing I would say, stunning, stunning.

All these points that you have to think about. The atmosphere was...

Go on. It was a stunning performance. The dance got lost in

the performance. There was so much swirling and whooshing -- swooshing

it didn't feel like a foxtrot. I'm a wind up in a digital world. I'm an

old ballroom teacher and dancer, I needed to see a little bit - it's a

great performance, Natalie, you're a wonderful dancer. For me, too much

swooshing and not enough foxtrotting.

Don't even think too much about that because your ovation and the

atmosphere you created in this studio was remarkable.

Wow. Our very own dream girl. Such a powerful performance, powerful song,

beautifully sung by our Andrea by the way. Incredible. Powerful

routine, very emotional? Are you feeling that? Very much so. How did

it feel? Amazing. I'm so thrilled to be here and to dance with you. That

song just... It all came together. I can't quite speak. The lifts were

brave because you were nervous about those. Terrified. No wonder you were

looking at the floor a bit, Craig. Artem, Len wanted more in hold. What

do you think about that? It's possible, but I decide not to

because I want to tell the story. So it's the chances you take really.

You told a beautiful story. The audience loved it. Scores:

Come on Bruno, that's what we want! That's more like it. Still a great

score despite Len's controversial eight. It's you who needs to vote.

Call from your mobile or land line. Or vote online. Still to come, in

our musicals extravaganza, Sophie and Brendan are hoping the his are

alive with the sound of tens. And Abbey and Aljaz are bringing some

disco to the dance floor, disco moves everybody.

Funky. Back to you, Sir Bruce. Next up, it's Mark and I -- Iveta.

Every couple is popular, so popular. They're dancing to a song from The

Lion King. They will be dancing a samba. Now look, surely, if they're

dancing to a song from The Lion King, it should be called a Simba.

LAUGHTER In the a samba. Nobody asks me, do

they? Here they are in training. It was really nice to go out and do

a foxtrot which was all foxtrot, there was no gimmicks. I loved it.

The judges' comments were so lovely. You bring the sun to Strictly. It's

the little touches that make me smile. I'm in shock from the Results

Show. Usually people in a dance-off, three times in a row, on the third

time, they usually go home. When the judges were giving the results, I

assumed Len was going to say Ben and Kristina. On this performance, I

have to save Mark and Iveta. I was in shock. To get this far, it's such

a wonderful thing. Week ten - I mean that's madness. This week we're

doing a samba to I Just Can't Wait To Be King. The competition is

getting tougher. We need to up our game. No-one has survived four

dance-offs. I am determined to not be there this week. I'm Mark with

technique. But I feel it will help us if we go to see The Lion King. I

hope Simba can help me with my samba. When you see the guys doing

it, it's so exciting. Hopefully we can get some of that in our dance.

We were shown some of the choreography. You go left, right,

push. We did a bit of the dance. There's one more thing I want you to

see, this is Simba. Could I try it on? I don't see why not. Wow. Do you

mind if we keep it? Seeing the show after was the cream on the cake. I

hope we can take that inspiration and I can be king of the dance floor

and not king of the dance-offs. That was lovely, the pair of you.

You have done some lovely dances this series, you really have. Thank

you. Iveta suits you. She's brilliant. You have a marvellous

time together, Craig. Full of shimmies, full of rhythm, full of

camp, darling, which appeals to my nature, of course. Would like to

have seen a little more double bounce action, bit flat footed but I

think that really is technically your best to date. Oh! Your best.

Don't stroke him with your pah! . -- paw. Sadly the ability to be able to

bounce for you is difficult and technically it's difficult when it's

such a steady samba, which that was, not easy at all. You are still, the

cheeky king of the show tonight. Thank you very much.

Len? Mark, I tell you what, you are just a great big bundle of joy to

watch. Well done. Thank you. The cuddliest lion I have

ever seen, a pussy cat of a lion. You have a great ability. You

squeeze every ounce of performance value out of any situation. You sell

it beautifully. The story telling was good and there was plenty of

samba content there. You did it, of course, the bounce could have been

better, but I really enjoyed it. Mark, you're a performer, that's

what he's saying and you are wonderful and lovely lady. Off you

go. Great comments from the youngs --

judges. Technically your best dance to date from Craig. Amazing. Just

really, sorry, really nice. You're getting emotional on us? You

big softie. Now then, king of the jungle, king

of the dance-off, you've been there three times. Due think you'd get

this far? No, it's amazing. Sorry, I can't speak. It's the first time

I've seen you lost for words actually. Last question, Iveta...

He's my king. You've yet to break 30, do you think

tonight might be the night? Yes. Fingers crossed, let's find out.

Scores are in: 29! Nearly. So close.

That's still your joint highest score. That's great. And the

comments were lovely. They were indeed. Mark does not want to be in

the dance-off again. Call from your mobile or landline or vote online.

Keep him dancing through to next week. Everyone's in the musical mood

tonight, Susanna and Kevin are hoping their quickstep will leave

them Singin' In The Rain and Ashley and Ola are off for a magic carpet

ride. Our next couple tonight is Sophie

and her partner Brendan. What a night tonight is. The song is

Favourite Things from The Sound of Music. That's Sophie's favourite

film. I've promised Sophie I won't make any silly jokes about The Sound

of Music, all right don't worry you can trust me. I will keep my Von

Trapp shut. Here they are in training.

When it came to the performance on the Saturday night, I tried to

forget that anyone else was in the room and just tried to get that feel

back where it was just the two of you very connected. I was

disappointed the judges didn't enjoy it more. I found it a bit cold. It

didn't have enough chemistry for me. The competition is heating up. It's

obvious the judges are looking for perfection. You always have to give

your best every week because it might be your last. This week is

musicals week. We're dancing the Viennese waltz to Favourite Things

from The Sound of Music. I can't wait.

# These are a few of my favourite things #

Are you excited about musical week, but I didn't realise how much of a

fan you were. Particularly The Sound of Music. It's the soundtrack to my

childhood. The Viennese waltz is ridiculously

demanding because of the amount of spin. It's inevitable that you will

be dizzy. I have an idea to take you out of the studio and get you used

to it in a whole different area. Brendan took me to a fair ground. We

could go on the spiniest ride there is, the waltzer. It was a similar

sensation to some of the spins in our dancing. It is just about

letting go and enjoying it rather than fighting the spins I suppose.

It's been fun to do some spiny rides. I say bring on the Viennese

waltz. I hope it works and I do a lovely dance on Saturday night.

Incredible. I don't believe we've ever had a nicer dance.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE You're the Duke and Duchess of the

Viennese waltz. It was so elegant. Darcey, darling. Sophie, I feel

dizzy watching you. I can't imagine what you must be feeling. But you

kept your composure all the way through. Your style was stunning.

And those fast beautiful pave ots as well. -- pivots as well. Just watch

the back of your neck when you're constantly spinning, lengthen the

back of your neck. But a classic Viennese waltz. For me, you're going

to be spinning into the quarter finals, I can't wait to see you

there. Brendan, so proud of you two. Len?

My favourite things in the Viennese waltz is rotation, I like to see

lots of natural turns to the right, reverse turns, pivots everywhere,

fleckerls, Darcey is right, with the speed of it, you lost a little bit

of toning through your neck, but I tell you what, Brendan, wonderful

routine. Beautifully done. Could not agree more. Bruno? Oh,

yes, the his are alive with a vision of beauty. It's true because I like

the purity of style of that Viennese waltz. As he said, it was a proper,

classic Viennese waltz. You kept the rotation going. You looked stylish,

elegant. You have confidence. I would like to see you maintaining

this confidence in the Latin dances, because when you are yourself and

you exude that radiant beauty, you're stunning. Just don't doubt

yourself in the Latin side, because you're great, you really are.

You're great. Now then, Craig? Your arms need a little more tone when

they're out of hold. It's true, we've all gone on about it, you lost

your neck on occasion. But the chemistry between you was fantastic

in that. Absolutely brilliant. Craig said it was brilliant! You are

brilliant. Go on. Off you go.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous. A night of standing ovations, you have to be

proud of her. I am ridiculously proud of this girl. She's the reason

we're doing so well. She's such an inspiration. How are you feeling

after all those spins? A little dizzy? It felt crazy and I was

saying at the end, I'm glad my head stayed on. I checked it was still

attach. You should be spinning into the quarter finals with that. That

would be lovely. I love the fact that you're so giddy about musicals.

The scores are in: That's your joint highest score.

It's the same score you got for that charleston. Well done you two. That

legendary charleston. Was that one of your favourite things, the number

to call is: Or vote online. All of our couples will need your votes to

make it through to next week. Not only will they dance again, but the

six remaining stars compete in a head to head in a swing-a-thon. Yes,

it's back. I love a plot twist. Back to you.

Right, our fifth couple is Abbey and her partner Aljaz. ? Vment -- Aljaz.

They are dancing to a song from Saturday Night Fever. I knew you'd

like it. I said to Abbey, "That's my favourite musical. It has to be my

favourite song. I sing it three or four times every night before I go

to bed." She said, "What song? I said, "Stayin' Alive." It's wicked

to mock the aged! Here they are in training.

I loved the choreography for the paso doble. I was really excited,

really happy. Then I kept slipping everywhere. On occasion you just

lost a bit of control. I think the judges are really pushing for

perfection now. The competition is really heating up. It could be

anybody who goes each week. No-one is safe. I think we just have to go

out there, give it our all and hopefully, secure our place for next

week. It's musical week and we're dancing

the salsa to a song from Saturday Night Fever. We've got three lifts

in our dance and I'm really nervous, because it's quite scary being up

there. I don't want to be dropped. I want to do it right. I'm really

worried about doing these lifts. Lifts are really important. You do

need to get them right. But, as well, you need to get into the

character of the 70s and do justice to Saturday Night Fever. I love the

70s, the fashion, the whole era. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

In order to get into that 70s vibe, we went it a karaoke bar and blasted

out some classic disco hits. # Night fever, night fever #

It was a great idea to take my mind off all the worrying. Because it is

about fun. # You are a dancing queen #

I've got my 70s groove on, I hope I can stay in character for Saturday

night for my salsa. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You are lovely. This is marvellous. Absolutely marvellous. Did you heat

the place up. Get your breath back. Len, did you

like that? Saturday Night Fever, I tell you what, there's fever in this

ballroom. Everyone has upped their game. Now listen, in my life, I've

lost and forgotten many things, I haven't forgotten what a great dance

looks like. That was great! He wouldn't lie to you. Bruno?

Abbey, the disco diva. Seriously, my darling, I have to make a point, you

were dancing at a moment between two professional girls, I could not tell

the difference. Good point. Well done. Craig? Could

you tell the difference? Yes. I thought it was absolutely a-maz-ing.

I thought he'd gone to sleep. Darcey, darling? Mesmerising

performance. Finally, you are oozing confidence in the Latin, a five-star

routine. Well done. We've never had a time like this on

this show. At this stage of the show, we've never had a night like

this. Thanks to you and all the other wonderful dancers. Abbey and

Aljaz! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Everybody's upped their game. Mesmerising said Darcey. I can't

believe it. I love her. Do you feel like a disco diva? I do now after

them comments. It's good. It's getting tougher. Everybody's upped

their game. How much does it mean to have got to this stage in the

competition? I can't believe I'm still here. I just don't want it to

end. I'm loving it. Has Strictly fever taken over your

family. Are you dancing with that with your Pete around the kitchen? I

was practising that lift with him at home, yeah. Oh, broken furniture. I

didn't think anyone could pull off a white suit, but wow. The scores are

in: Wow! What about that? The first 40

of the series. Tell me what it feels like? Amazing. I don't think I've

ever seen anyone quite as excited. I can't believe it, can you? No. Did

that give you - I'm overcome. Did that give you Saturday Night Fever?

If you think Abbey and Aljaz should be dancing next week call: Or vote

online. Just two couples left to take the stage.

That was phenomenal. This is like a final! Isn't it?

APPLAUSE Now for our next couple, Ashley and

his partner Ola. Another pair! They're dancing to A Whole New World

from Aladdin. He's going to be flying on a magic carpet. He will be

way up there on a carpet Hoovering. What's that? Oh, do it again? Oh,

yeah, up there on a carpet, hovering. Here they are in training.

I am over the moon about getting through another week. The waltz went

really well. A few distant problems came back to haunt me. Your head is

driving me absolutely mad. You've got to sort that out. I've got 35

points for the third week in a row. I am determined to get more. The

competition is definitely really strong now. It has become all very

real. The judges are being harder with their scores. So I do have to

show that I have what it takes. This week is musical week. I'm going to

be doing a rumba. This rumba has got to be graceful and some of the

movements are not very pretty at the moment. We really have to up our

game. The judges are being really picky. We have to make sure

everything is perfect. Because we're doing Aladdin, Buddy is going to

love it. I can't let him down. "Once upon a time there was a boy called

Aladdin." If you could have three wishes, what would they be? Daddy

winning Strictly, would that be a wish? Who do you want to win? Go on

daddy! The pressure is really on. I've got to get my steps right, the

character right, make my son proud and flying on a magic carpet, what

could possibly go wrong? Sorry Ola. Lovely. Really lovely. Ola and

Ashley, what a team you are. Bruno? Oh, so exotic with a touch of

the erotic. I love, but there's one thing you did so well, you framed

the object of your desire so well. You know, the rumba is a woman's

dance and you made her look wonderful, the chemistry was there,

the lines were beautiful. Just you need to work a little bit more on

your hips yeah, a bit more hip action, but beautifully done,

though. Very good, Craig? Yes, I totally

agree, a little more hip action. Your arms need a little bit more

expression. But I have to say, I really and truly loved it. It was a

terrible shame about you getting both legs caught. Darcey? You told a

very real story of love. It's not easy for a man in rumba to create

that convincingly. You created some strong masculine lines. Great, great

control, well done. OK Len? A whole new world, I saw a

whole new side to you. Itch thought you took command of that dance. You

came out and you -- I thought you took command of that dance. You came

out and really performed. You did need a bit more hip action here and

there, but well done, Ashley you're on a roll. I think you're dancing

terrific. All the time, lovely Ola. Lovely Ashley. Away you go.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The first person in Strictly history

to fly on a magic carpet. How did it feel? Very temperamental, those

carpets. I've had a few problems back stage with him. You drove it

well. Thanks. Your adorable son, his favourites were "Dave and Karen."

Can I just say hello. Miss you. He did well. Do you think you're his

favourite now? I hope so. Me too.

Hope so. Difficult dance for the male celeb, the rumba. You did so

well, very proud. Well deserved. Scores are in.

35, another one! Four weeks in a row. Yeah. That's OK. Anton was

shouting, "Your best judge yet." Did they whisk you off on a magic carpet

ride? If they did call: Or vote online as soon as everybody has

danced. Don't forget, find us on Facebook or Twitter. Head to the

website, pull back the curtain and see what goes on behind-the-scenes.

It's all there. Time for our final performance. Will it be a show

stopper? Let's find out. Our final couple tonight is Susanna

and her partner Kevin. Everybody loves this couple.

By the way, did you know Kevin is from Grimsby?

LAUGHTER I didn't know whether I'd mentioned

it. Susanna is dancing to a song from Singin' In The Rain, another

great music. I said, "In the film there was one lady and two men in

that number. You need another man, can I help out? She said, "Oh, yes

Bruce. That would be brilliant. Have you got Anton's phone number?

LAUGHTER He's always available.

Here they are in training. The cha cha and I struggled to love

each other. It was all a little bit mumsy, darling. My boys said, but

mum you're our mum. As a mother I would say anything but mumsy. We're

in the business end of the competition. They're looking for

really, really high quality dances. There's no safety. There's a

possibility anyone can be in the dance-off. This week it's musicals

week. We are dancing the quickstep. I don't get it. It is so quick. Oh,

I'm moving around so much. It's too fast. We really have to work on the

technique. There's no hiding in this dance. No. I've decided to rope in

some help from some of your biggest fans. Little helpers! Hello boys.

How come Kevin has roped you into this particular task? Skipping is

going to help you with the quickstep. You will get four 10s.

That sounds like a plan to me. Brilliant. Doing the skipping just

reminds you to stay light on the balls of your feet to give you that

lightness that you need in the quickstep. Good luck mummy, you're

the best. We've worked on your foot work, I want to throw in something

flash. Good morning, you're watching BBC Breakfast. Singin' In The Rain

had an iconic moment in it. This week we're focussed on technique,

skipping, the sofa, I hope that means Kevin and I can keep dancing

into next week. MUSIC

Good Morning Are you all right, my love.

Everybody loved it, including me. It was sensational.

Well done Kevin. And Susanna. It was lovely. That was a quicker tempo

than in the film. Craig? I thought the foot work was rather sloppy.

I've got to be honest. You looked completely out of sync with one

another over here, when you were doing the kick stuff. It was a real

shame because it was going rather well up until that point. When you

did that last moment, I did think for a moment you overbalanced and I

thought you were going to fall flat on your face and sadly... Well...

That was a slip of his tongue. I'm glad you saved yourself. I said

"sadly". He wanted her to fall. Darcey? You captured the role of the

cheeky Debbie Roynolds perfectly. There was so much dance content in

there. You were so light on your feet. It was a shame, there were a

couple of mistakes. You did get out with Kevin. But, it is only about

exaggerating some of the foot work and keeping it really crossed, it

gets a little open. The energy all the way through was wonderful.

Len? News flash: Musical night on Strictly Come Dancing, Susanna Reid

closed the show with a blockbuster of a quickstep.

Bruno? I wish I could have some of that any morning. You have so much

zest, so much life, energy, it's great to see. You capture the spirit

of the film perfectly. There were a couple of mistakes on the foot work,

but that will improve. Newsreader by day, I tell you, a musical star by

night. You did a wonderful part in a

wonderful night. Who went on last, you did. Go on, off you go.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE What a blockbuster of musical star

by night. Is a change of career in the works? I'm not sure about that,

the breakfast viewers might complain. Week ten, and up put a lot

of training in. How has Strictly affected the rest of your life? My

family is seeing a little bit less of me. I'm seeing quite a lot of

Kevin. I have to say, if you want to get fit and have a fabulous time,

take up dancing, it is pure pleasure and I think we'd all agree about

that. You are fitter than ever. The scores are in:

Thank you Len and Bruno. Did that quickstep knock you off the couch?

Get back up and call: Or vote online, if you think Susanna and

Kevin deserve a place in next week's swing-a-thon. Fancy that? Oh, yeah.

I'd love a bit of swing-a-thon. It's going to be fun. Chaos. That's it.

Our fair ladies and Jersey Boys have danced all they can. Let's look at

the leaderboard: Now remember, you, if you like, can

change all that. Pick up the phone or go online and vote for your

favourites. Why wait? The vote is now open.

Lines will close at 8. 35 tonight. To help you decide, here's an encore

of tonight's storming performances. What about that! Lines close at 8.

35pm. A wonderful evening. Didn't they all do well? ! It certainly was

a night to remember. The highest scoring night of the competition so

far. However one of our seven musical stars must leave the

competition and your votes will make a difference. If you don't want to

see your favourite take their final bow, go online right now. Just three

weeks from the final. All of our stars want to make it. We find out

which two couples are in the dreaded dance-off with Tess and Claudia in

the Results Show tomorrow night at 7. 7.30pm. They're going mad. Going

wild in here. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

The dance-off tomorrow night will have another spectacular routine

from our professionals. And the brilliant Alfie Boe will be here

with a performance from Les Miserables. Sounds like critics

choice to me. In the meantime, think positive. Keep dancing!
