Iveta Lukosiute. CHEERING

They are gorgeous! What about the lovely legs on show! I am not just

talking about the girls. First, the good news for our celebrities. No

one will be leaving the competition this weekend because there is no

public vote. Now the not so good news. The judges will still be

scoring their performances. Craig has got his happy face on again. The

judges scores will be carried forward to next week and that is

when you at home get the chance to vote. Then the combined scores and

the public vote with the lowest scores will have to face the dreaded

dance. But let's not worry about that.

Take into the dance floor this evening is Tim, Jake, Scott and

Pixie! CHEERING

Our first couple tonight is TV presenter Caroline Flack and her

partner Pasha cover love. As well as the dance moves, Caroline

has been practising her dance face. Her cha-cha face is coming along

nicely. But that the end of the routine will she have a happy face?

Fingers crossed! When it comes to nerves, TV

presenter Caroline Flack is laying down the law. I get very embarrassed

and very nervous. I am not just saying this but when I met the

dancers for the first time, there was something about Pasha that stood

out. When I knew I was dancing with him, I gave a squeal of excitement.

A lot of the time you cannot tell what he's thinking. This is serious

Pasha. This is happy Pasha. This is nervous Pasha.

Caroline is a lot of fun. She is passionate and she can really move.

I think we can go pretty far in the competition. Maybe even winning it.

The training is the thing I am most excited about. I am going to buy

legwarmers, everything! Cha-cha is a very fast and fun dance. It is quite

playful. Keep your chin up. I thought this would be one I would be

good at. Is it the hardest dance? No, it is the easiest one. You are

joking! I have noticed that when you concentrate a lot you have a serious

face. Smile! For this dance we need to be light and fun and smile more.

You have got it. Show me what you have got. It is a great song. We are

going to go out there, look like we are having a party.

CHEERING Dancing the cha-cha-cha, Caroline

Flack and Pasha Kovalev. MUSIC: "Can You Feel It"

by The Jacksons. What a stunning start to the show!

Come on over, Caroline. Can you feel it? Can you hear it! They are

cheering for years! CHEERING

Amazing! It is never easy. You made it look easy. What a star. While you

two recover, let me welcome our fabulous singers, Hayley, Lance,

Andrea and Chris and of course, Dave Arch and his brilliant orchestra!

That has woken me up, has it kick-started your weekend? It

certainly has. It is always nice to start the night with a glass of

champagne. That was sparkling, fizzy and ever Beasant. Caroline, there

was one little mistake but I tell you, sweet Caroline, that was

stunning. Sweet Caroline! Bruneau? There was a flash of gold! I did

feel something. Your arms were so expressive. You can spin and drop,

my kind of girl. Len was right, there was a little bit which went

wrong but I have to tell you, a great debut. Maybe because of the

curtains of gold, a bit more hits but I am telling you, very

promising. Craig, do you agree? I thought good musicale to, a

fantastic rhythm. You got into a good groove. I would like to see a

little more hip action. I have got to be honest, some of your lines

need finishing properly and a little more finesse. Something in you

changed when you came up here and it all went horribly wrong. But still,

I thought you did a fantastic job. CHEERING

Darcy, what did you make of that? You definitely feel to me one

natural performer and one natural dancer. With those legs they are

pretty good in a cha-cha, well done. We are up, we are dancing, what a

performance, what a star! Caroline and Pasha, ladies and gentlemen!

You did it. You did it. You said, I will be fine as long as I do not go

first. Did you enjoy it? I loved it. The audience were amazing. Pasha was

amazing. You are amazing. That is the first dance. Starting the show

is a difficult job to do but you nailed it. The schools are in.

Ladies and gentlemen, the judges have their scores.

Are you happy with that? Very! You must be over the moon. Yes, the

first dance. No one is leading us tonight but the judges' scores will

carry over to next week when we will find that he will face the first

dance. Back to you, tests. -- have. I understand she can dance a bit as

well. wandering off with that glitterball.

It will look great on my mantlepiece. I think that the

training is going well. But there is such a lot to remember. Natalie is

great. What she does is break the dance down into bits.

Almost! Then hopefully it fits together into something that is

really beautiful. I love Tim's Bargain Hunt kick. It will

definitely make an appearance in a routine. But I have to see it in

action in Bargain Hunt. Do you want to witness the kick on

Bargain Hunt? Yes! Where is he? I'm going to find him.

Well done, teams. Join us soon for some Bargain Hunt-ing! I love it.

Can I join in! Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunt-ing. So, Natalie,

was that fun or was it fun? I loved every minute of it. Are you ready

for the judges. Dancing the Cha Cha Cha, Tim

Wonnacott and Natalie Lowe. What am I bid for these

spanningly... Delicious high-heeled shoes? Is it ?15,000 from the lovely

lady in the green dress? MUSIC:

"Shop Around". And sold! Well done.

Thank you. Come on over, Tim, Tim, Tim! Come

on. That was so much fun! Did you enjoy yourself by any chance? You

could say that. You cheeky Cha Cha Cha, you! Wasn't

that fantastic? It was fantastic. I think they all agree with you. It

was. Wasn't my Natalie fantastic? ! She

is divine and you two are a lovely partnership between the two of you.

Cheeky chappie. Now, be warned.

Well, I have to appreciate your sense of confidence. If you can sell

this, you can sell anything! You embraced the madness, the campness,

the entertainment, the barminess of it all. I was ecrying. Your

technique is difficult to define. It is very personal.

Enthusiastic! But I think it needs a little bit of work but I tell you...

He enjoyed it, clearly! I really enjoyed it. But I'm crazy, so you

know. Did Craig enjoy it? Oh, no.

No, I didn't, actually. Your gait, my darling is extremely wide. You

must be aware of that. It looked like you were wearing soiled

nappies. Very, very stiff of hip. Your knees bent throughout. That is

not on. Be aware of that free arm. It was getting a little bit Julian

Clary. But it is not where you start.

Craig, I am sorry, order! Darcey, can you be the voice of reason,

please. Well, dance is about being

entertaining. I am a judge and I am here to mark you on ability and

style but for me that was so entertaining! It was cheeky, it was

fun and surprisingly, entertaining! I think that the audience agreed

with you on that, Darcey. Do you, Len? Tim, look. I'm sure Natalie has

told you this many times, you must not step forward on your heel in the

Cha Cha Cha. She's told you, I know she has. Unfortunately, the footwork

was no too clever. However, having said that, your feet are a long way

from your heart. You come out full on with personality and you gave it

everything! So well done to you. It's a well done from Len. A cheeky

Cha Cha Cha, with heart. Thank you very much.

Well done, Tim and Natalie. Tim! Tim! Tim! Hello. Wasn't that

fantastic! I love that Darcey Bussell, she is my favourite.

Without a doubt. We all love her. I have never seen

that before. You were so adorable. You came on stage, it was fantastic.

You also made Bruno cry in a good way.

I didn't like the soiled nappies much.

That was below the belt? Come on, all of us... They are all in love

with you. You two have a fantastic partnership. It looked like you were

having the best time out there. Well, that is just like the

rehearsals. We have had so much fun without a shadow of a doubt and this

is hopefully just the beginning. Of course it is just the beginning.

Is it? Even with my nappies? Well, let's leave the nappies to the side.

Be a love! . The scores are in. You will take that? That is a

result. So good. Tell me it is good? It is good. The best score of the

night, off of. Tim and Natalie have faced their

bid, you can place your bid when the bids open up next week. We have two

waltz and a jive. In one of them, Anton is wearing a kilt. How you

tease us, Claudia, I can't wait for that. Dancing next tonight is Jake

Wood and his partner, Janette Manrara.

They are dancing the Tango. For this dance, Jake must be mean, moody and

macho. But hey, he is the bad boy in EastEnders, so it should be a walk

in the park. As EastEnders bad boy, Max Branning, Jake Wood has waltzed

his way around the floor. But will it be good on the dance

floor? ? I have been been told I dance with my bum sticking out. It

makes me nervous. The only thing that me and Max Branning have in

common is that we share a barber. I am a happy man. I have a great wife

and the best two children. I was looking for a partner who does not

do nonsense. I don't like to fluff around. I noticed that Jake has

loose hips, so that is one dance done.

All of the dancers are calling me snake hips. So I think that is a

good thing. It is positive. It means that I am doing something right. The

first dance is the Tango. The Tango is a man's dance. Strong, positive,

aggressive. The story line is that I see lipstick stains on your shirt

when you come home, I get angry as you.

There are a lot of steps in there, pirouettes and other steps.

Morning, Janette. What is this? Getting into character. You know,

Max Branning. Oh, my God! It is good. Good. I am surprised! It helps

to have something to work with in rehearsals. It was a great idea for

him to come as Max Branning this morning.

Hopefully, if I can keep this bad boy up, I can do it on the night.

So, fingers crossed. Dancing the Tango, Jake Wood and

Janette Manrara. MUSIC: "Toxic".

Well done! Jake and Janette! Look at you. Well, well, well. They're on

their feet in the studio. Look at that, a standing ovation! Yes! The

first of the series. Mean, moody and magnificent! It

suited you down to a T. That was good.

You dark horse. Can I point out, that is not my

shade of lipstick! Let's have a look... Cheeky.

Craig, did you enjoy Jake's Toxic Tango? Well, I am impressed. Strong

frame. You took the lead. Control of the routine. It was full of intent,

purpose. It was sharp. Great moves in there. I think you are one to

watch. Definitely. One to watch! Coming from him that

means an awful lot. Darcey, what did you think? It was

cool, very, very cool. You looked so comfortable in that Tango I was

shocked. The drama, the attack. And again you really understood that. I

mean, well done, Janette. You have really worked on him. He's a good

student. The boss is happy. But you

transported me into that story. Well done.

Was it enough character in a Tango for you, Len? It was. And I must say

from one good-looking East End boy to another, that was full of

character! Lot of choreography. Loads of steps, you danced it well.

It had spirit. I thought it was terrific. Well done, oh, yes! Bruno,

is it going to be a clean sweep? You are a brute. The hard man. Get in,

taking care of business, done, tough, strong, put here into place,

goodbye, see you next week. You came in and took care of business

beautifully. For a debut, we are all saying it was very strong. But I

would like to see your softer side as well.

Maybe next week, Bruno. I will have to wait a long time for

that one. Positive across the board, Janette,

you must be delighted. I am. So proud.

CHEERING You are so cute because you looked

surprised by those comments. You got a standing ovation. I was so

focused on the dance I forgot I would get comments. Let me just tell

you that I do not think Craig has ever used the word impressed before.

I have never heard that, no. Ginette, were you pleased because

the judges said the choreography was beautiful. Yes, very pleased. He is

the best student any professional could ask for. Well done, you. You

said you are doing this for your kids, Buster and Amber at home.

Daddy loves you. Be home soon! Time to get the scores.

Are you happy? That is the highest score of the night. We are halfway

through this evening. Three celebrities have performed and three

nervous ones are to go. 07 from Craig? The next couple are

Judy Murray and her partner Anton Du Beke. As a top tennis coach and a

captain of the British Federation cup team, Judy is not used to being

told what to do but in this relationship, Anton is undeniably

and definitely in charge, as long as that is all right with Judy.

Sporting matriarch Judy Murray has raised tennis champions but can she

rise to the occasion on Strictly's Centre Court? When we were all

standing behind the glitter ball and it was about to go up, I thought, I

am actually going to do this. I was terrified I might trip on the steps

because I am a tracksuit and trainers type of girl. I wanted

three in my partner, patience, sense of humour and a 6 pack. Two out of

three ain't bad. I had no idea that he was so funny. She laughs all the

time which is great for me because I have not changed my material in

three years which is brilliant. The other dancers are calling us Sir

Anton and Lady Judy. We have become part of the establishment already

and we have not danced a step yet. I love it. Welcome to Scotland. We

have got some work to do. Come on. Our first dance will be the slow

waltz and we are dancing to Mull of Kintyre. I'm not the most graceful

or rhythmical but I am really enjoying it. The thing about the

waltz is it gives you the rises and falls which characterises the dance.

Anton has disappeared. Happy birthday to you! That is

gorgeous. Thank you. Does that mean we can stop training? I will put the

kettle on and we can tuck in. How does that sound? Good to me!

Dancing the waltz, Judy Murray and Anton Du Beke.

MUSIC: "Mull Of Kyntyre" by Wings

CHEERING Julie and Anton, everybody. # GD and

Anton, everybody. I loved it and I love that kilts,

Anton! A big thank you to our bagpiper, Robert Jordan!

So, Darcey, starting with you, were you moved? The waltz is about moving

effortlessly. It is an elegant, controlled dance and it is much

harder than it looks. I did feel Judy, that in that beautiful smile

of yours, the nerves were coming through. It was a bit edgy for me.

To control the rise and fall is hard. To come out on that dance

floor for the first time is not easy. I do not think people realise

how nervous you become. I think when you come out next week you will show

us what you really can do. I could feel the nerves and you shook a

little bit all the way through. Fair enough, it is the first night. When

you spun around, Anton, and your kilt went up, I saw your Bonnie

Prince Charlie. I did! That is a frightening thought! I thought by

and large, your footwork was Mull of Kintyre, your posture was more

mulligatawny. It is only a witticism, don't start. You have got

to lift up your diaphragm to get further away from Anton. However,

having said that, you commented on it but not fully. This is a very,

very difficult dance to do. There were a lot of elements in it, the

footwork, the posture, the hold and the movement. I thought for a very

difficult dance, Judy, you did very well. Don't worry, cha-cha next

week. Let me say first of all, you look absolutely beautiful. This is

like your maiden flight into a new sky that got hit by turbulence. What

you have got to do is land safely and try again next week. It is a new

experience. Now you have got the taste of it, take a deep breath,

enjoyed an next week you will be better. Thank you.

Craig. I was on the edge of my seat. With excitement? No, I felt like you

were dragging Judy around. Your arms out of hold need serious attention.

You need to finesse those arms. The posture is appalling. The head needs

to be a lot more to the left. Don't listen to him, he will go on for a

fortnight at this rate. You came out and gave it a go so well done on

that. Go easy on her, Craig, it is the first dance, never easy! Walk

those lovely legs upstairs, waltz up to Claudia. Well done!

Thank you, thank you! We loved it up here. I'm glad somebody did! Having

watched hours of your training, the only thing you do as well as

training is laughing your head is. Now you were thinking the judges are

commented. Did you enjoy it or were you as nervous as Darcey said? I was

a little bit nervous but I did enjoy it. I enjoyed it enormously. Thank

you for asking! The judges have their scores.

Are you happy with that? Yes. Still two couples to dance tonight, Pixie

Lott and DJ Scott. That rhymes. Who is next?

Our next couple are Scott Mills and Joanne Clifton. They are doing a

cha-cha to a Robbie Williams classic. It may not be the easiest

song to dance too but Scott has someone very special in his corner.

Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills cannot wait to get on the Strictly dance floor.

Pretty much everything about being on Strictly scares me. I cannot even

think about it right now. My boyfriend, he has never seen me

dance, because I do not. I am static with a drink when everyone else is

dancing around me. When we were stood there and there were two

dances left, I was really hoping I would get paired with Joanne because

she is great. I was so happy to be partnered up with Scott. I got him

in a really good ballroom pose straightaway. She is 100% convinced

she can teach me how to dance and I do not know how she will do that, so

good luck, me. I have been told that cha-cha is one

of the easiest dances to do. I do not buy that at all. You have got

the steps right but you are a bit gorilla like at the minute. My feet

do not do this. Robbie Williams is Scott's friend. Hello, Scott and

everybody back home. I cannot believe you are doing Rock DJ. A

little-known fact is that Scott stole my
