:01:06. > :03:19.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:03:20. > :03:30.This is Strictly Come Dancing: The Results. Please welcome your hosts;
:03:31. > :03:40.Tess Daley and Claudia Winkleman! Hello and welcome to the semi-final
:03:41. > :03:45.results show. Thank you to our brilliant professionals for a truly
:03:46. > :03:48.moving routine. On Saturday night the five semi-finalists gave it
:03:49. > :03:51.their all. We saw ten routines which had the judges reaching for their
:03:52. > :03:56.tens except Craig. He must be saving his for the final. With only four
:03:57. > :03:59.places available in next week's Grand Final, one couple must leave
:04:00. > :04:03.tonight. The judges have score and you have voted. The two couples with
:04:04. > :04:08.the lowest overall points will face each other in the last dance-off of
:04:09. > :04:11.the series. The decision of who to send through is down to four people
:04:12. > :04:21.all guaranteed a place in the final next week. It's the judges.
:04:22. > :04:22.Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli. And Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey
:04:23. > :04:31.Bussell. APPLAUSE
:04:32. > :04:49.Thank you, judges. Kylie Minogue is here getting us in
:04:50. > :04:54.the mood for Christmas. The judges will be taking a look at the double
:04:55. > :04:58.dances in Len's Lens. We are moments away from revealing the first couple
:04:59. > :04:59.who must dance again. But first the action from Saturday night's
:05:00. > :05:09.semi-final. Hello, darlings, it's the
:05:10. > :05:13.semi-final. They are dancing twice tonight and that's doubled the
:05:14. > :05:20.chance of them falling at the final hurdle. Trying not to let it get to
:05:21. > :05:24.me. It's really tough this time. Everybody is sensational. See them
:05:25. > :05:28.all practising and I'm look, whoa. It's pressure. Extra pressure with
:05:29. > :05:32.two dances but they are dances that I love, I'm falling in love with
:05:33. > :05:35.them. I never in a million years thought that I would get this far.
:05:36. > :05:40.The glitterball is a lot closer now than it was, but it's anybody's. I
:05:41. > :05:47.feel ready to ballroom dance. I want to foxtrot. Who is going to make to
:05:48. > :05:53.it the final and who is going to fall by the wayside? Tonight, our
:05:54. > :05:57.five remaining couples will have to perform not one but two brand-new
:05:58. > :06:03.routines. Tonight is all about who deserves to
:06:04. > :06:07.get to the final. Shaken and stirred and ready for
:06:08. > :06:15.action, you sexy little thing! How did you learn all of that dance?
:06:16. > :06:21.The complexity of that routine... APPLAUSE It was simply beautiful.
:06:22. > :06:26.Absolutely loveable. I think you created the mood from
:06:27. > :06:36.the first note of the music. A very nice performance. I'm so happy.
:06:37. > :06:39.That's all I need to hear. Lovely, light, perfect mix of step and
:06:40. > :06:46.lyrical. You caressed the floor. You did a very good job. Well done.
:06:47. > :06:52.Let's go and get ready, let's go! Very athletic. It was full on.
:06:53. > :06:59.However, I would have liked a bit more salsa rhythm going. I really
:07:00. > :07:05.enjoyed that. If song was hot, you looked hot but
:07:06. > :07:08.the dance was not. The kicks were completely out of time so I can't
:07:09. > :07:17.see that dance getting into the final. The American smooth you did
:07:18. > :07:20.was lovely. However, I was looking more for the foxtrot. At the
:07:21. > :07:24.beginning, you had the quality and everything to pull it off. You are
:07:25. > :07:29.not fully extending the leg. That let you down. Disco diva fabulous.
:07:30. > :07:33.We are losing hip action on the straight leg. Just about all the way
:07:34. > :07:43.through, sadly. The second one, more. More. OK. More! I'll do more.
:07:44. > :07:47.To capture the beauty of Puccini's music, it has to be perfect and it
:07:48. > :07:56.wasn't, my darling. I really enjoyed it and I thought you redeemed
:07:57. > :08:03.you'res in this. Jay, that was brilliant, darling!
:08:04. > :08:13.Exhilarate, exhilarate. The Time Lord of the dance. Ten!
:08:14. > :08:16.You are a breath of fresh air. Smooth.en, gliding transitions,
:08:17. > :08:27.exquisite. I could watch you dance all night. Gorgeous. Ten! We got
:08:28. > :08:31.some tens again! I thought you danced it absolutely beautifully.
:08:32. > :08:38.Glamour, flare, all the Hollywood quality we want. Really, you've done
:08:39. > :08:41.it, you really have. And here we go again! You've worked really hard for
:08:42. > :09:05.it and you deserve it. What a dramatic night it was, so
:09:06. > :09:12.close. Here is how the leaderboard looked after all ten performances.
:09:13. > :09:17.Up at the top, with a score of 73,ly and Kevin. Katie and Anton with a
:09:18. > :09:24.total score of 56. Your votes at home really can change.
:09:25. > :09:26.After 12 weeks of tough competition, all five couples desperately want to
:09:27. > :09:35.make it through to next Saturday's Grand Final. The results are in.
:09:36. > :09:41.In no particular order, the first guaranteed finalist of 2015
:09:42. > :09:56.is; Jay and Aliona. CHEERING AND
:09:57. > :10:06.APPLAUSE Thank you.
:10:07. > :10:30.Also in the final are... Kellie and Kevin.
:10:31. > :10:34.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:10:35. > :11:00.And now the first couple who must dance again in the dance-off are...
:11:01. > :11:11.Anita and Gleb. It's OK. I'm afraid George Giovanni
:11:12. > :11:15.and Katie and Anton, you will have to wait a bit longer to dewho is
:11:16. > :11:20.safe. Anita and Gleb, come and join me. You must be disappointed. It's
:11:21. > :11:24.fine. I know how much you want to be in the final next week. What is
:11:25. > :11:28.going through your head right now? Of course everybody wants to be in
:11:29. > :11:32.the final, we have come so far, but they're so brilliant, everyone is so
:11:33. > :11:36.amazing and I feel like, since the beginning of this competition, I've
:11:37. > :11:42.been sprinting to keep up with everyone, so I mean I'm amazed that
:11:43. > :11:47.it's taken me to the semi-finals to be in the dance-off. We are here,
:11:48. > :11:52.it's OK. The first time in the dance-off. On
:11:53. > :11:56.Saturday, you danced a foxtrot and salsa, which dance have you chosen
:11:57. > :12:00.to do again? Well, I really love wearing these Socks, so it's going
:12:01. > :12:06.to have to be the salsa. I love the whole outfit. And I love the salsa.
:12:07. > :12:10.So much fun. You received a score of 32 for both dances, so why have you
:12:11. > :12:15.picked the salsa, apart from the Socks? It's the most energetic,
:12:16. > :12:20.there is a lot of content, the choreography is insane. We are just
:12:21. > :12:27.Ee, going to go out there and enjoy it. I'm so proud of Anita, she did
:12:28. > :12:31.an incredible job, she's come so far. I'm going to give it my all.
:12:32. > :12:37.All the way to the semi-final and it's not over yet.
:12:38. > :12:41.Darcey, this is our most important and tense dance-off so far. What is
:12:42. > :12:49.your advice for Anita? It is a shock when you've worked so hard and you
:12:50. > :12:53.put your all into it, I have to say. You amaze me every weekend.
:12:54. > :12:57.APPLAUSE But I think, you know, I really do
:12:58. > :13:01.admire you so much, but I think what you've done with that dance, how
:13:02. > :13:05.much you learnt in one week, go for it, enjoy it.
:13:06. > :13:10.I will. APPLAUSE Enjoy it. It's a party
:13:11. > :13:15.dance. Have fun. Wishing you the very best of luck. Thank you.
:13:16. > :13:21.Claudia, over to you. Thank you so much. I'm here with two
:13:22. > :13:28.Strictly Come Dancing 2015 finalists, huge congratulations to
:13:29. > :13:33.those. Kellie, all those weeks of hard slog, two dance-offs, you're in
:13:34. > :13:39.the final. I know, I know. What is going on in your head? I cannot
:13:40. > :13:45.believe we've made it to the final, I cannot believe it. It's just so
:13:46. > :13:54.overwhelming. Because of this guy, he's incredible.
:13:55. > :14:00.Well, yes. Incredible! He's an amazing choreographer, the most
:14:01. > :14:03.fantastic teacher. On the subject of you, Kevin, you are the only
:14:04. > :14:11.professional that's made three finals three years in a row. In a
:14:12. > :14:16.row! So maybe you are magic. It might be Grimsby. It's all down to
:14:17. > :14:18.Kellie, she's been brilliant. Jay, congratulations.
:14:19. > :14:23.APPLAUSE How do you feel about being in the
:14:24. > :14:28.final? Many I gut I was ready for that to go red then. I was convinced
:14:29. > :14:33.and I'm so, so grateful. Huge congratulations. Honestly, to both
:14:34. > :14:37.of you. Not long before we find out who will join the cupels in the
:14:38. > :14:44.final but first time for some music. With only 12 days until Christmas,
:14:45. > :14:53.we give you this, singing, Warm this Winter, it's Kylie!
:14:54. > :15:55.# Sleigh riding down a mountain slide
:15:56. > :16:00.# Roasting popcorn, dancing till the dawn
:16:01. > :16:40.# But I'm gonna be warm (ho ho) this winter
:16:41. > :16:52.# But I'm gonna be warm (ho ho) this winter
:16:53. > :17:20.# Oh, oh, oh you make me warm this winter#
:17:21. > :17:27.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:17:28. > :17:37.Thank you. I have never seen our boys look so happy. A huge thank to
:17:38. > :17:44.Kiely minute owing. Time to welcome our very own Father Christmas and
:17:45. > :17:47.his helpers. It's the judges. -- to Kylie Minogue.
:17:48. > :17:51.Thank you very much. The last time this series you have come up to talk
:17:52. > :17:54.in more detail, something you might have mentioned on Saturday night. We
:17:55. > :18:03.can't do it alone. That would be weird. No. Please welcome, Len's
:18:04. > :18:09.Lens. Len's Lens. First up, Len. I would like to talk to you about Jay
:18:10. > :18:13.and Aliona. You pulled him up on his natural turn. Natural turn is a turn
:18:14. > :18:17.to the right. A reverse turn is a turn to the left. Yes. On the
:18:18. > :18:20.natural turns, you have to close your feet here. Crossed it. He is OK
:18:21. > :18:32.there. Now he should close and crossed it.
:18:33. > :18:37.He got nice heel leads. Crossed it. That should be closed. Tight,
:18:38. > :18:47.closed. Unfortunately, as I said, I loved the routine, I loved the dance
:18:48. > :18:51.but in a reverse turn you do cross, there you go, that's lovely jubbly.
:18:52. > :18:56.But he didn't on the natural close. I had to bring it up, I brought up
:18:57. > :19:01.foot work the whole series. Darcey, can I talk to you about Georgia. You
:19:02. > :19:06.gave her a 10. You said she managed to keep her frame throughout. You
:19:07. > :19:11.mentioned throughout the series. Let's have a reminder. Is it hard to
:19:12. > :19:14.do More particularly in the Viennese waltz because you have that rotation
:19:15. > :19:17.action and you have the force bringing you up. Look at this. She
:19:18. > :19:23.is leaving her head. It is so beautiful. She is working hard at
:19:24. > :19:28.keeping that extension. But as soon as you start turning, you want to
:19:29. > :19:32.straighten. So to hold it more... For so many turns. Exactly. Kellie's
:19:33. > :19:37.rum BA you said it was almost perfect. I believe you have never
:19:38. > :19:44.given a 10 to a rumba. Were you tempted? I was tempted. I really
:19:45. > :19:48.loved the work she put into this. She is sinking nicely into the hip
:19:49. > :19:54.there. There is a lot of detail she has put into this particular dance.
:19:55. > :19:57.That's why I love her. It for me, wasn't a 10. Mainly because I
:19:58. > :20:02.thought of the chemistry between them. The story-telling I thought
:20:03. > :20:06.could have been a little bit better. And that big old wobble which she
:20:07. > :20:12.had. It was a real shame because it was almost perfect. Without the
:20:13. > :20:21.wobble would you have released the 10 paddle? I cannot answer that
:20:22. > :20:27.question. It was a 0.5. 99%. Browne yo, I would like to talk
:20:28. > :20:31.to you about Katie and Anton. -- Bruno. You are a big fan. You loved
:20:32. > :20:38.her ballroom. You said it was over ambitious. Well, don't get me
:20:39. > :20:45.started. First it is Puccini. Puccini is crazy, never predictable.
:20:46. > :20:51.He extends the phrases, he exacts. -- he compacts.
:20:52. > :20:56.The arms are terrible. He aims for the stars, she goes to Clapham
:20:57. > :20:59.Common. She went wrong. The footwork after that particular moment wasn't
:21:00. > :21:05.right. It happens, it is the semifinal. The bar is set very, very
:21:06. > :21:11.high. Whilst there are mistakes, you know, we have to point it out. Let
:21:12. > :21:13.me say on behalf of the whole group, you four are the best. Here is a
:21:14. > :21:46.machine Taj of you. What? Oh! Those moves have to be like that.
:21:47. > :21:51.Youer to across the floor like a rampant rat. I'm going to pickle my
:21:52. > :21:58.wallnuts. Thank you very much, the judges.
:21:59. > :22:03.Now, two couples have made it through to the final next week. But
:22:04. > :22:08.who will be joining them? Tess? Thanks Claudia. You can feel the
:22:09. > :22:12.tension here on the floor as both couples are desperate to dance in
:22:13. > :22:19.next week's final. Only one of them is guaranteed a place.
:22:20. > :22:25.Georgia and Giovanni and Katy and Anton. One of you is in the final,
:22:26. > :22:28.one of you will dance again. I can reveal the couple in the bottom two
:22:29. > :22:41.tonight, who will fight for the place in the final is...
:22:42. > :22:49.Katie and Anton. Georgia and Giovanni.
:22:50. > :22:57.Congratulations, you are through to the grand final. Katy and Anton,
:22:58. > :23:03.come on and join me. Come over, darling. Sorry. So sorry. Your first
:23:04. > :23:08.dance-off, isn't it? I know. Shall we chat to the judges. Len, you said
:23:09. > :23:13.there were some mistakes in Katie's waltz. What can she do to iron them
:23:14. > :23:19.out? Well, you know, you have to truly focus. You have to relax. You
:23:20. > :23:24.have to trust in Anton. And fortune favours the brave. So, come out,
:23:25. > :23:31.give it your all, but most important, don't go wrong.
:23:32. > :23:36.Don't go wrong! Good advice. Great advice. You will be facing Anita and
:23:37. > :23:39.Gleb in the dance-off. We will see you later. We one you the best of
:23:40. > :23:44.luck. Clawedia, over to you. -- Claudia.
:23:45. > :23:52.I'm now joined by Georgia and Giovanni. Yes! Now, Georgia, last
:23:53. > :23:58.week you were in the dance-off. What would you like to say to the public
:23:59. > :24:12.who saved you tonight? Oh my gosh. Thank you. Thank you so much. Next
:24:13. > :24:17.Saturday we will crown the Strictly Come Dancing 2015 champions. After
:24:18. > :24:19.12 gruelling weeks of blisters, sweat and sequins, only one couple
:24:20. > :24:34.will take home the glitterball. Three months ago, 15 couples boarded
:24:35. > :24:44.the Strictly Express. ! That was exquisite. Fantastic. Best dance
:24:45. > :24:51.ever. Next week... It reaches its final destination. Oh, show us what
:24:52. > :24:58.you've got. It all comes down to this. Absolutely spectacular. After
:24:59. > :25:03.12 gruelling weeks. It is a tough process. I pushed through T My body
:25:04. > :25:09.feels broken. The nation will decide. The most amazing show to be
:25:10. > :25:16.part of. Who will lift the glitterball trophy in Strictly 2015
:25:17. > :25:20.- the Final. Anything can happen. I'm here with Katie and Anton and
:25:21. > :25:26.Anita and Gleb who both really want to be in the final next week.
:25:27. > :25:29.Saturday was difficult. I know because some of the scores weren't
:25:30. > :25:33.perfect. How much do you want to make it through to next week? You
:25:34. > :25:37.know it would be the icing on the cake in what has been the most
:25:38. > :25:41.fantastic few months to be in the final. It would be wonderful. I know
:25:42. > :25:46.there are an awful lot of people out there who want to see Anton in the
:25:47. > :25:50.final, too. It would be fantastic but you know, here we are. I'm only
:25:51. > :25:55.sorry I'm dancing against my lovely friend Anita. They are mazing Anita
:25:56. > :26:00.and Gleb. I know we'll both go out and smash it and do our best. Anton,
:26:01. > :26:04.what advice do you have for Katie? Oh, she has been wonderful in
:26:05. > :26:10.rehearsal and through the whole run of the show. And I just want her to
:26:11. > :26:15.enjoy the moment, really. Don't let the moment overtake. Just go and
:26:16. > :26:21.enjoy it. Enormous luck to both of you. Go and get into position. Let's
:26:22. > :26:27.hear it for Katie and Anton. CHEERING AND
:26:28. > :26:32.APPLAUSE Anita. You started the competition a few months ago as an
:26:33. > :26:37.absolute novice. You have worked so hard and come so far. What would it
:26:38. > :26:42.mean for you to make it one more week to the final? It is what you
:26:43. > :26:44.have said. You have come so far and the final is within touching
:26:45. > :26:49.distance. Of course at this stage everybody wants to get there. We
:26:50. > :26:53.have, we have worked so hard and week-in and week-out, Gleb's
:26:54. > :26:57.choreography is - I guess it is only when you step away from the
:26:58. > :27:00.experience will the penny drop and you will realise how far you have
:27:01. > :27:04.come and what you have been through. I'm here to give it my all. This is
:27:05. > :27:08.the last and most-important dance-off of the series. Neck next
:27:09. > :27:12.week your votes alone decide the fate of the finalists. First to
:27:13. > :28:13.dance for a place in the final, it's Katie and Anton.
:28:14. > :29:09.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:29:10. > :29:15.Katy and Anton have done all they can and the stakes could not be
:29:16. > :29:46.higher. Now dancing to win over the judges, it is Anita and Gleb.
:29:47. > :30:55.MUSIC I Just Wanna Feel This Moment...
:30:56. > :31:11.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:31:12. > :31:19.Such an incredible dance-off. Katie and Anton, Anita and Gleb, you can
:31:20. > :31:23.do no more. Judges, you have seen both couples perform in the
:31:24. > :31:26.dance-off and based on that, you must choose who you want to send
:31:27. > :31:32.through to the final. A very difficult decision to make.
:31:33. > :31:35.I'm about to ask each of you the name of the couple you would like to
:31:36. > :31:38.send through to the final and the reason why. The couple with the most
:31:39. > :31:41.votes stays in the competition, meaning the other couple will leave
:31:42. > :31:46.the ballroom tonight. In the event of the tie, head judge Len, you'll
:31:47. > :31:50.have the casting vote. Katie and Anton and Anita and Gleb, you have
:31:51. > :31:56.come so far. This is it. Craig, who would you like to send
:31:57. > :32:02.through to the final and why? Well, this couple dramatic, dynamic
:32:03. > :32:08.and risk-takers, and that couple, Anita and Gleb.
:32:09. > :32:13.Congratulations. One vote for you. Darcey, who would you like to save
:32:14. > :32:17.and why? I would like to save this couple because they made no mistakes
:32:18. > :32:24.and they produced a beautiful quality across the dance floor and
:32:25. > :32:28.that is Katie and Anton. Neck and neck, one vote apiece. Bruno, who do
:32:29. > :32:36.you think deserves to be a finalist and why? All errors have been erased
:32:37. > :32:42.from my memory. The musical phrasing was worthy of the Maestro. Katie and
:32:43. > :32:49.Anton. It's 2-1 to Katie and Anton, but, as
:32:50. > :32:53.head judge Len has the casting vote, whichever couple he now chooses will
:32:54. > :32:59.be dancing in the final. So, Len, who are you going to choose
:33:00. > :33:03.and why? Well, I'm just judging this on this one dance, nothing that
:33:04. > :33:10.could be in the future or in the final, just on this one dance.
:33:11. > :33:19.It wasn't close for me, it was totally clear, Katie and Anton.
:33:20. > :33:32.Anita and Gleb, we are going to have to say goodbye to you.
:33:33. > :33:43.Anita and Gleb, come and join me. Oh, we are so sorry to lose you. In
:33:44. > :33:53.the semi-final, you have been incredible to watch. He's a great
:33:54. > :33:58.choreographer. This man is a slave driver, he's beautiful and, but he's
:33:59. > :34:03.also got the most creative mind and the choreography and honestly, I've
:34:04. > :34:06.had the best time. You guys have been dynamite to watch
:34:07. > :34:12.together. Gleb, anything you would like to say the Anita? I just want
:34:13. > :34:17.to say thank you for this amazing time. 12 weeks has been absolutely
:34:18. > :34:21.incredible. I love every day spending with you and I could not
:34:22. > :34:26.wish for a better partner. Hands down. I want to say thank you to all
:34:27. > :34:31.the judges. I mean, everything you say, you're brilliant, I've loved
:34:32. > :34:35.watching you, and to all my amazing friends and all four of you, I can't
:34:36. > :34:38.wait to watch the final, you are sensational dancers and I feel, I
:34:39. > :34:41.just can't believe that I managed to get this far with people, the
:34:42. > :34:44.calibre of dancer that I've been dancing with, you are all incredible
:34:45. > :34:48.and thank you. You have given us your joy over the
:34:49. > :34:55.last 12 weeks, the pair of you. Have a look at this, your Strictly story.
:34:56. > :35:01.Winding the clock back to the very start of Strictly, I still wouldn't
:35:02. > :35:08.know what to say to myself to prepare me for the experience I'm
:35:09. > :35:10.about to have. I totally underestimated just how
:35:11. > :35:14.all-encompassing and huge Strictly would be.
:35:15. > :35:19.The me.ryes that will stick with me forever will be meeting my new
:35:20. > :35:23.friends, the costumes, the hair, the make-up -- the memories. Hands down,
:35:24. > :35:28.the highlight for me has to be Blackpool. Being up north in the
:35:29. > :35:33.Tower Ballroom and that audience' reaction - wow!
:35:34. > :35:39.I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing on Strictly if it wasn't for
:35:40. > :35:41.Gleb. That's a fact. I've been super lucky, an amazing partner,
:35:42. > :35:46.energetic, funny, a hard-working person. One of the major reasons for
:35:47. > :35:51.me doing Strictly was to make my mum feel proud. My mum loves dancing.
:35:52. > :35:55.I'm so lucky to have been given an opportunity to be part of Strictly.
:35:56. > :36:00.Who knew I could do the things that I've done? !
:36:01. > :36:11.What an amazing couple you have been. We have enjoyed every moment.
:36:12. > :36:12.Thank you so much. For the very last time, the floor is yours!

:36:50. > :36:55.it. For now, with their last dance, it's Anita and Gleb.
:36:56. > :38:09.It's a little disappointing being that close to the final and not
:38:10. > :38:13.getting through, but at the same time it's amazing to have gotten
:38:14. > :38:21.this far. We are shell-shocked. It's been quite a night. Very emotional
:38:22. > :38:26.this weekend. Woo-hoo. So that's what it feels like to be in a final?
:38:27. > :38:34.! We have made to it the final. What? ! I certainly never thought
:38:35. > :38:39.we'd be in the final. That I'd be in the final I should say, I don't know
:38:40. > :38:43.what you thought. Oh, yeah, always thought we'd be in the final. We are
:38:44. > :38:45.in the final. Officially stamped finalists.
:38:46. > :38:50.We will give you a show to be proud of.
