:02:16. > :02:23.it's like to be in a final! Calm before the storm. Kevin and I had a

:02:52. > :02:57.Smashed it. Fabulous, darling. We got 40, we got 40! You always hit a
:02:58. > :03:02.few bumps here and there. Show dance still to come, better get ready. Get
:03:03. > :03:08.your frock on. I think we wanted a little surprise. Just needed to go
:03:09. > :03:15.out with a bang. It was a great dance and you're a lovely ballroom
:03:16. > :03:18.dancer. Thank you. Really, really, really, really, really proud of you.
:03:19. > :03:24.Thank you. It was extraordinary. Oh, my goodness. This is the best day
:03:25. > :03:26.ever! You are really taking a great challenge and you gave ate good go.
:03:27. > :03:33.That was epic. Yes. We've seen eight incredible routines
:03:34. > :03:36.from our four outstanding finalists, but sadly for one couple their time
:03:37. > :03:42.on Strictly is about to end. I can reveal that the couple
:03:43. > :04:27.with the fewest votes and leaving Come on over. Aw.
:04:28. > :04:36.APPLAUSE. Come on, my darling.
:04:37. > :04:45.Katie, you are leaving us, as a finalist, with your head held high.
:04:46. > :04:48.How proud are you of how far you have come in the competition, you
:04:49. > :04:52.have done brilliantly? Pleased at punch to be here. This is not my
:04:53. > :04:56.natural habitat and I can't believe that I'm here in the final, came
:04:57. > :05:00.down in a spanningly box 20 feet up in the air like a pop star, that was
:05:01. > :05:04.amazing, and I've learnt to dance and for that I have you to thank and
:05:05. > :05:09.I'm just chuffed to bits. Chuffed to bits. This is the right decision,
:05:10. > :05:13.these guys are unbelievably awesome and I'm so looking forward to seeing
:05:14. > :05:19.your dances, I really am. Katie, what would you like to say to this
:05:20. > :05:24.wonderful human, to Anton? He's a wonderful human. Well, you taught me
:05:25. > :05:29.to dance - thank you! You were glorious. You've had to put up with
:05:30. > :05:34.some bumps in the road and you have been unbelievably patient. We have
:05:35. > :05:38.laughed and laughed and laughed, you are choreographed some beautiful
:05:39. > :05:42.dances as well and brought out the best in me and I'll be forever
:05:43. > :05:46.grateful, thank you. APPLAUSE
:05:47. > :05:52.Thank you, thank you. You have been wonderful to watch, let's have a
:05:53. > :05:59.look back at your time on Strictly. Strictly has been a joy from start
:06:00. > :06:04.to finish. I was delighted to be partnered with Anton Du Beke.
:06:05. > :06:07.Anton... Get in, let's go. There's an offer I can't refuse. Loved
:06:08. > :06:11.dancing the tango, our first ballroom. Loads of drama. I thought
:06:12. > :06:17.to myself, this could be serious business. She looked amazing. And it
:06:18. > :06:22.was just great, we just went out there and smashed it. Lovely,
:06:23. > :06:28.fantastic. I loved the even niece waltz week. That was the Princess
:06:29. > :06:32.dance. It was a dream of a day. 9... I'll always be able to look back at
:06:33. > :06:37.my Strictly experience and say I was top of the leaderboard one week.
:06:38. > :06:40.Come on, mummy... One thing that's been very special about this
:06:41. > :06:48.experience is that I've been able to include my family. Love mummy being
:06:49. > :06:51.on Strictly. It's really cool. I'm eternally grateful to Katie, she's
:06:52. > :06:54.been remarkable, I couldn't have wished to share it with anybody
:06:55. > :06:57.else. Never in a million years would I think I could be in the final and
:06:58. > :07:03.I've had to pinch myself every day that I've been lucky enough to have
:07:04. > :07:07.this experience. APPLAUSE
:07:08. > :07:10.Well done to both of you. Katie and Anton, everyone.
:07:11. > :07:20.Head upstairs and join your fellow classmates of 2015.
:07:21. > :07:32.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. We started with 15, now we are down
:07:33. > :07:38.to three. Jay and Aliona. Georgia and Giovanni and Kellie and Kevin.

:08:53. > :08:54.On Demand. and first to perform their favourite
:08:55. > :09:17.routine of the series... They are dancing the paso doble to
:09:18. > :09:21.It's My Life, very fitting for their last performance on Strictly. Here
:09:22. > :09:25.is Jay's story. My experience without a doubt has been the
:09:26. > :09:27.scariest thing I've ever done and definitely the most rewarding I
:09:28. > :09:32.think too. I didn't realise how tough it would be. I really thought
:09:33. > :09:37.it would be just the showy stuff and forget about the blood, suite and
:09:38. > :09:45.tears. -- sweat and tears. When I heard Aliona's name, I thought,
:09:46. > :09:48.bingo. I was so happy, I just knew we'd get on. We were so similar, she
:09:49. > :09:52.was absolutely there for me every step of the way. We had so much fun,
:09:53. > :09:57.I think he's the best dance partner I've ever had. Stepping out on to
:09:58. > :10:00.the Strictly dance floor for the first time is for to many reasons
:10:01. > :10:06.the most nerve-racking thing I've ever done. I just thought I look
:10:07. > :10:08.like a huge minute teenage of hair wandering around the stage and she
:10:09. > :10:16.just looked like this absolute bombshell. Don't you go anywhere,
:10:17. > :10:21.you are Wanted. Our jive was like this perfect storm, the music and
:10:22. > :10:29.the way we looked and just the dance, really made people sit up and
:10:30. > :10:38.look. We just had so much fun. Amazing. Best dance ever. 10. You
:10:39. > :10:42.are the opposite to Sampson, you've had your hair cut and gone from
:10:43. > :10:47.strength to strength. He's progressed so much over the weeks as
:10:48. > :10:52.a performer and dancer, he's amazing. The natural hip action, the
:10:53. > :11:00.isolations, it was fantastic. I absolutely adored it. Definitely
:11:01. > :11:03.with my mum, Strictly is the most proud she's ever been. I don't know
:11:04. > :11:07.what it is about mums but when they see their children dancing their
:11:08. > :11:11.hearts melt, she's like butter at the minute, it's amazing. Everyone
:11:12. > :11:15.that knows Jay will be proud of him. He's got the biggest heart in the
:11:16. > :11:19.world, he's literally the nicest man. We've travelled the world with
:11:20. > :11:23.the band and we have had some amazing experiences and Strictly is
:11:24. > :11:26.definitely up there. He deserves the win, he should be so proud of
:11:27. > :11:29.himself. Lifting the trophy would be an amazing part of what has been an
:11:30. > :11:34.incredible Strictly time. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. I've
:11:35. > :11:38.loved every dance we've done and this week we had to pick one from
:11:39. > :11:43.what we've done and we have picked the paso doble, people will be
:11:44. > :11:47.surprised we didn't pick the jive. It went so well last time and we did
:11:48. > :11:52.our best and we wanted to pick something we could improve on. I
:11:53. > :11:58.hope when we do the paso doble, we can build from where I was and give
:11:59. > :12:00.the paso as real guts. I think it's a perfect dance for our last
:12:01. > :12:12.farewell. Dancing the paso doble, Jay
:12:13. > :14:13.McGuinness and Aliona Vilani. This is it. That was one powerful
:14:14. > :14:20.pasodoble, and the last time you dance together. Oh! The stakes could
:14:21. > :14:27.not be higher, let's find out what the judges thought. Len. From week
:14:28. > :14:30.one, for me, you have been the most consistent of all the couples.
:14:31. > :14:35.APPLAUSE You have come out, a couple of
:14:36. > :14:38.hiccups along the way, but you have been so consistent, every dance that
:14:39. > :14:44.has come at you, you have come out and given it your all. And this is
:14:45. > :14:49.no exception, this powerful, aggressive but clean, it was a great
:14:50. > :14:52.pasodoble, and I have loved watching you, well done.
:14:53. > :14:56.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Bruno?
:14:57. > :15:07.Goodness gracious, great balls of fire! Bigger, better, more loaded
:15:08. > :15:11.with power and artistry than ever. Your arm movements, probably some of
:15:12. > :15:20.the best we have seen in any male contestant we have ever seen. And I
:15:21. > :15:25.tell you, another triumph, ole! Craig? When you first started, you
:15:26. > :15:30.had absolutely no personality whatsoever on this programme, I have
:15:31. > :15:38.got to be honest, and now you have a drive, you have passion, you dance
:15:39. > :15:45.brilliantly, and I love, love that. Darcey? I can see there is a very
:15:46. > :15:49.sensitive man within, but the confidence you brought to that dance
:15:50. > :15:59.floor, the strength in the shaping, oh! You are number one in my book.
:16:00. > :16:02.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE An amazing final performance, is it
:16:03. > :16:06.your number one? You can do no more, your work is
:16:07. > :16:11.done, it is down to the viewers at home. Off you go, Jay and Aliona,
:16:12. > :16:21.one last time! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:16:22. > :16:25.The information is on-screen to vote for your winner. Can I just remind
:16:26. > :16:30.you that, 13 weeks ago, you were trembling? You could not even bear
:16:31. > :16:35.it? You would not even look, and then in the final you have just done
:16:36. > :16:40.that. I am heavily tranquillised! How wonderful to get those comments.
:16:41. > :16:48.That was amazing, whatever happens, that was the perfect end for me.
:16:49. > :16:57.Will be judges please reveal their scores? Craig Revel Horwood. Nine!
:16:58. > :17:08.Darcey Bussell. A worthy ten! Len Goodman. 8-ender from Len! And Bruno
:17:09. > :17:13.Tonioli. Ten! 39, lovely, for your first dance,
:17:14. > :17:19.their work is done, but yours is not, pick up the phone or go online
:17:20. > :17:24.and vote for your winners. We only have two performances left. Tess.
:17:25. > :17:26.The next couple with a last chance to impress you is Georgia and
:17:27. > :17:34.Giovanni. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:17:35. > :17:38.They are doing their Chicago inspired Johnstone, and the routine
:17:39. > :17:42.first confirmed George as a serious contender, but can she take a step
:17:43. > :17:49.up to being a champion? We will have to wait and see, here is there
:17:50. > :17:54.Strictly story. Being part of Strictly Come Dancing
:17:55. > :17:57.has been amazing. I will never forget this experience. I have come
:17:58. > :18:02.so far, and I have learned so much, there has been ups, the Charleston,
:18:03. > :18:07.I could not believe I got that score. There have been downs, being
:18:08. > :18:11.in the dance-off was really bad, and the thought that I was nearly going
:18:12. > :18:14.home was horrible. You have just got to keep fighting and keep going, and
:18:15. > :18:19.that is something I didn't really know I had in me. To think I have
:18:20. > :18:23.got to this stage in the competition is just... It is just amazing. I was
:18:24. > :18:27.quite surprised, coming into this competition, because I thought I
:18:28. > :18:33.would be better at Latin and rubbish at ballroom. In week two, I had the
:18:34. > :18:37.waltz, and it didn't go very well. You have to be cap or not to lose
:18:38. > :18:48.your neck. I came back fighting with my ballroom. Oh Blackpool, dancing
:18:49. > :18:54.in the ballroom, that was a dream come true. Being an actress in
:18:55. > :19:00.television, you don't get that reaction off people. Well done,
:19:01. > :19:04.darling! To dance the dance and get the immediate round of applause, it
:19:05. > :19:08.is amazing. For me, it has made me want to go into theatre. This show
:19:09. > :19:14.has helped me find that confidence, because I now feel like I could do
:19:15. > :19:19.it. My family are just amazing. I would love to see you lived that
:19:20. > :19:24.trophy, you would burst my heart. They are put up with me through this
:19:25. > :19:28.competition, being so stressed out. My mum and dad have been
:19:29. > :19:32.unbelievable, they have always took me to every audition, I would love
:19:33. > :19:37.to be able to stand there and say to them, I have done it. I would love
:19:38. > :19:44.to be able to stand and say, I have done it, make them proud. We
:19:45. > :19:49.absolutely adore you, you have turned into a princess. To go out
:19:50. > :19:54.and enjoy yourself, dance your socks off. I cannot believe this will be
:19:55. > :19:59.the last time that I get to dance with Giovanni. She was an amazing
:20:00. > :20:05.partner and became an amazing dancer. I love him to bits, but I
:20:06. > :20:09.also cannot stand him at times! We are just like brother and sister.
:20:10. > :20:14.That is why it has been such a great friendship. Our favourite dance is
:20:15. > :20:21.our Charleston, because I turned into a dancer I didn't know existed.
:20:22. > :20:26.The first time round, I know we can do better. She will be absolutely
:20:27. > :20:27.amazing. I have had the most amazing experience ever, I will never for
:20:28. > :20:30.get it. Dancing their Charleston,
:20:31. > :20:32.in a bid to be Strictly Come Dancing champions, Georgia May Foote
:20:33. > :22:36.and Giovanni Penice. Yes! Page triumph! What an amazing
:22:37. > :22:45.routine that they chose. That was brilliant! Stress and performance,
:22:46. > :22:50.24 carat gold, you danced your socks off, I reckon your mum and dad are
:22:51. > :22:57.very proud. I love you! Bruno, have they done enough? This really was a
:22:58. > :23:01.sparkling cracker of a Charleston. It has to be one of my favourite
:23:02. > :23:06.numbers of the season, because you have taken all the references and
:23:07. > :23:10.put it in the right places, right at the right time, and you may did
:23:11. > :23:17.yours. What you have shown us over the season is how much you have
:23:18. > :23:22.grown as a dancer and a performer. Versatile, great range, great
:23:23. > :23:27.beauty, you can take on different characters, and always so charmingly
:23:28. > :23:33.adorable, I love you, my dear. Craig? You have been extraordinary,
:23:34. > :23:38.and you have had, I think, one of the biggest journeys that we have
:23:39. > :23:43.had on the programme. Someone that was actually a little bit insecure,
:23:44. > :23:46.to be honest, worried only about the dance, and being able to put all
:23:47. > :23:51.that imaginative acting and personality into the dance, and tell
:23:52. > :23:55.stories clearly, seriously and honestly through dance is absolutely
:23:56. > :23:58.extraordinary. I would be very proud to put you into any of my West End
:23:59. > :24:01.shows. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:24:02. > :24:15.Absolutely stunning! I knew we were going to have tears!
:24:16. > :24:19.Darcey? Well, it was full of the naughty little Georgia we love. I
:24:20. > :24:24.have to say, quirky, the style suited you down to 80, I love the
:24:25. > :24:30.accents you found in the music, everything. You nailed it, you two.
:24:31. > :24:37.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE She is so sweet, she is shaking like
:24:38. > :24:43.a leaf! Len? As you were dancing, I wrote down pure joy, and it is, you
:24:44. > :24:49.are a little fireball, you come out, and you give it so much welly. If
:24:50. > :24:53.ever I am asked, what makes a terrific Charleston? I am going to
:24:54. > :24:57.say, just watch Georgia and Giovanni, that is it.
:24:58. > :24:59.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It doesn't get better than that,
:25:00. > :25:04.does it? Giovanni is going to start now, we
:25:05. > :25:07.need a box of tissues, and quick! They have done all they can, it is
:25:08. > :25:12.now up to you to choose your champion. Off you go. Georgia and
:25:13. > :25:17.Giovanni! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:25:18. > :25:19.Who do you want to lift the Glitterball trophy?
:25:20. > :25:26.All the information you need to vote is on screen now.
:25:27. > :25:34.Look at you, look at you! We have to say, you have been crying all week,
:25:35. > :25:38.you feel emotional, you have had a wonderful time. The thing that made
:25:39. > :25:42.you cry the most was that Craig said he would put you in one of his
:25:43. > :25:47.shows. I mean, I want you to watch those before... I am kidding, I am
:25:48. > :25:54.sure they are wonderful! It had to be that dance for you, that is your
:25:55. > :26:04.favourite song. You did it in your bedroom! Yeah! You are crying, OK!
:26:05. > :26:10.Gio! This is your last dance together, how has it been for you?
:26:11. > :26:17.Amazing, I am so proud of you. Amazing, both Latin, Charleston,
:26:18. > :26:21.everything. Well done. Charleston! These goals are in, time to get
:26:22. > :26:32.these cores from the judges. Craig Revel Horwood. Ten! Darcey Bussell.
:26:33. > :26:37.Ten! Len Goodman. Ten! Bruno Tonioli. Ten!
:26:38. > :26:50.Over the moon! Over, over, over the moon!
:26:51. > :26:52.Remember, you have all the power tonight.
:26:53. > :26:54.Your favourite couple need you to vote for them.
:26:55. > :27:04.Tess. The last couple to take to the
:27:05. > :27:11.floor, dancing to be Strictly champions, it is Kellie and Kevin.
:27:12. > :27:15.Their favourite routine is the star Wars inspired Charleston. At this
:27:16. > :27:21.stage of the competition, all there is to say is good luck and maybe
:27:22. > :27:29.Force be with you! Here is their Strictly story. Being part of
:27:30. > :27:33.Strictly Come Dancing has been, without a doubt, one of the best
:27:34. > :27:37.things I have ever done in my life. It has gone from strength to
:27:38. > :27:42.strength, we have had a genuinely brilliant time. Lookout for this
:27:43. > :27:48.move on Saturday night, everybody! I think Blackpool was pretty amazing.
:27:49. > :27:54.I loved it. Dancing with five boys instead of one was always going to
:27:55. > :28:02.be a highlight! I have some crazy ideas sometimes, from Star Wars to
:28:03. > :28:05.Boom Shake The Room, and she has embraced all of them. She has been
:28:06. > :28:11.like the perfect partner. I cannot not mention the American smooth
:28:12. > :28:18.foxtrot, Fred and Ginger, beautiful dress, a dance that made me smile
:28:19. > :28:22.inside. Absolutely delicious, ten! The fact that it makes me feel like
:28:23. > :28:31.I did when I was a little girl, just... It has been overwhelming. I
:28:32. > :28:38.feel so, so lucky that I got to do this show. And so lucky that I got
:28:39. > :28:48.to do it with Kevin. He means so much to me. He has given me so much.
:28:49. > :28:53.He has been key to all of it, and he has literally held me up sometimes,
:28:54. > :28:57.when I have been so exhausted. And he has done it all with a smile, he
:28:58. > :29:04.has never raised his voice to me, he has never got cross with me. I say
:29:05. > :29:11.this quite a lot, but he is my hero. Kevin Clifton is my hero. I love
:29:12. > :29:22.you! I have enjoyed every single second. She is the best. She is my
:29:23. > :29:26.partner. She deserves to win, the girl, I didn't realise how good she
:29:27. > :29:31.was going to be. Super proud of Kellie, she makes it look easy,
:29:32. > :29:38.amazing woman, to be able to do everything that she does, so very,
:29:39. > :29:45.very proud. Our final dance has to be our Star
:29:46. > :29:49.Wars Charleston. We had so much fun, and I think it is a really fitting
:29:50. > :29:53.end to everything, that we go out as Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia
:29:54. > :30:01.with our light sabres. I cannot believe we have made it all the way
:30:02. > :30:05.through. Argue ready? Born ready! Me the Force be ready. As far as I am
:30:06. > :30:11.concerned, we are winners. Whatever happens.
:30:12. > :30:13.Dancing their Charleston, in a bid to be your Strictly Come
:30:14. > :30:19.Dancing champions, Kellie Bright and Kevin Clifton.
:30:20. > :32:16.Craig, the last couple dance of the series,
:32:17. > :32:29.Could they be worthy winners? I think so, yes. I mean, this is very
:32:30. > :32:34.much in the audience's hands and everyone I think in this final now
:32:35. > :32:40.really does deserve it and it could go to anybody, you know. It's too
:32:41. > :32:45.close to call. Our points do not count one iota, but I've got to say
:32:46. > :32:51.that you are one of the most exciting performers I think I've
:32:52. > :32:55.been witness to and fun and also your energy and your commitment to
:32:56. > :33:00.the show has been extraordinary. You are working two jobs, a massive
:33:01. > :33:06.full-time job as well as this and I know the hours are unbelievable. You
:33:07. > :33:10.are amazing. Darcey? You are definitely the Princess of
:33:11. > :33:15.precision! I've said it before, I remember saying it when I saw this,
:33:16. > :33:22.that how clean your footwork is, the side by side, the two of you, how
:33:23. > :33:27.you're in synch with each other, it's so precise, oh, my gosh, you
:33:28. > :33:31.cannot fault it. It's perfection. It's how much time you have spent
:33:32. > :33:38.together training. Len? You put the star in Star Wars and, let me tell
:33:39. > :33:43.you, I love you two, I love watching you, you bring joy to my heart. It's
:33:44. > :33:49.just wonderful. If you would have asked me the question that you asked
:33:50. > :33:55.Craig, on my opinion, you deserve to win.
:33:56. > :34:02.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Len's winners. Where do you stand on
:34:03. > :34:05.this, Bruno? It's like the original blockbuster, it's even better the
:34:06. > :34:09.second time around because you even get more of the wit, the
:34:10. > :34:16.inventiveness, the attention to detail, but what I've liked about
:34:17. > :34:21.you two, all the season, is the quirky details you put in, the angle
:34:22. > :34:27.is something that we have not seen before and we think, it's something
:34:28. > :34:32.really clever. You continue to surprise me and you are so strong,
:34:33. > :34:42.so solid and you're able to deliver the ace when it's necessary. That is
:34:43. > :34:47.being a champion. Really, the dancing Jedis are ruling the Knight
:34:48. > :34:50.as far as I'm concerned. The dancing Jedis have had their
:34:51. > :34:54.last dance, it's their last chance to win and it's over to you, the
:34:55. > :34:56.viewers at home to decide who is your winner. Thank you so much.
:34:57. > :35:01.Kellie and Kevin! On screen now is the all-important
:35:02. > :35:15.information you need to vote. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
:35:16. > :35:18.Thank you! What extraordinary judges' comments.
:35:19. > :35:23.Len said he actually loves you. I know, I love him, I love him!
:35:24. > :35:27.Was it always going to be this one? Perfect timing, by the way, the
:35:28. > :35:31.Force Awakens, did you just think, I have to? I have to say there were a
:35:32. > :35:41.few that I would have quite liked to choose. She wanted to do Boom Shake
:35:42. > :35:54.the Room? Yes, but this somehow sums us up I think, Luke Skywalker and
:35:55. > :35:59.Princess Leia and light sakers. How has Strictly affected you? It's not
:36:00. > :36:03.hit me until I can sit back with a cup of tea and let it all sink in
:36:04. > :36:07.but it's truly been one of the best things I've ever done in my whole
:36:08. > :36:13.life and I have loved every single second of it, all the people here,
:36:14. > :36:16.not just the pros and the celebs but all the people backstage, everyone
:36:17. > :36:17.is so fantastic, they have made it brilliant. OK.
:36:18. > :36:45.Lovely. OK. Very good. They are all shouting.
:36:46. > :37:06.Let's see how the final leaderboard looks.
:37:07. > :37:08.Those scores are purely for guidance
:37:09. > :37:10.and do not count towards the final result.
:37:11. > :37:14.You have approximately ten more minutes to vote for your champions.
:37:15. > :37:35.Grab your favourite prop from the series.
:37:36. > :37:39.Here is a reminder of all of tonight's performances

:40:07. > :40:15.out who has won. But first, here's what you have
:40:16. > :40:31.loved most Do you remember how it started with
:40:32. > :40:36.the train? The Strictly express. This year Strictly was a-mazing! We
:40:37. > :40:43.have our own train. Come on! Big entrance. Best yet. Start-to-finish,
:40:44. > :40:52.absolutely wonderful. Amazing, pull the curtain, put the heating on,
:40:53. > :40:56.Strictly! Do you know who I loved just for his exuberance, Iwan. I
:40:57. > :41:00.wish he'd have stayed in a bit longer because he would have been
:41:01. > :41:05.really good. What about Daniel O'Donnell? You are just hair
:41:06. > :41:12.jealous. Get your fruity tomatoes. Don't touch my tomatoes! Brilliant.
:41:13. > :41:17.Jeremy and his dad dancing. I'm sure my other half's been teaching him. I
:41:18. > :41:25.think the dancers have been great this year. Gleb has to be my new
:41:26. > :41:32.dancer for obvious reasons. He doesn't like wearing clothes.
:41:33. > :41:37.Rampant crab, anyone? You can imagine yourself floating away in
:41:38. > :41:44.his arms. Well, I could... She went out very early but she was very
:41:45. > :41:52.good. It was brilliant. Peter Andre going Captain Jack Sparrow. I'm
:41:53. > :41:58.coming... Peter. I love it when Kirsty dressed up as a dog in Lady
:41:59. > :42:03.the Tramp... Jay and the jive. Gone back to Jay's jive loads of times. I
:42:04. > :42:08.bet you have! I really enjoyed that movie week and I loved Blackpool as
:42:09. > :42:13.well. Everybody always looks forward to Blackpool. It brings the ballroom
:42:14. > :42:19.to the home of ballroom dance. The group number in Blackpool, wow. The
:42:20. > :42:25.professional dancers are amazing every week. Makes me glad when they
:42:26. > :42:29.do a bit of dancing. The Gleb paso doble was great. So passionate,
:42:30. > :42:35.everything was perfect. Lucky old Anton made it this year, didn't he?
:42:36. > :42:41.It's all about the legs with Katie. At last Anton's got somebody decent
:42:42. > :42:47.to dance with. Go Anton! The girls this year have been incredible.
:42:48. > :42:51.Especially Carol, I love her. Carol looks like she's having the time of
:42:52. > :42:56.her life. In my head, she's still in the competition. Helen George in the
:42:57. > :43:01.costume. She wore it well. She's lush. Jamelia always in the
:43:02. > :43:09.dance-off. Came backfiring every single time. I liked musicals week.
:43:10. > :43:17.Um-pa-pa, that's how it goes. Giving it all. I jumped up out of my chair
:43:18. > :43:22.and went "brilliant". My favourite dance was Georgia and Giovanni,
:43:23. > :43:28.beauty and the beast. Georgia's paso doble was the hey light of my
:43:29. > :43:35.season. She may be pint size but she's a big winner in my eyes. I
:43:36. > :43:40.watch it all the time, with my nan, we critique like crazy and are worse
:43:41. > :43:44.than the judges. Darcey. She has the respect of the dancers because she's
:43:45. > :43:49.so fantastic herself. Really mellowed this year. It would be nice
:43:50. > :43:54.if he went back to his old ways, Craig. Len's come out with some
:43:55. > :44:01.great one-liners this year. Tickle my bum and call me Donald. One of
:44:02. > :44:09.his classic judges. He's one of the best judges. Yes. When he fell out
:44:10. > :44:13.of his chair, that was hilarious. The standard has been so high this
:44:14. > :44:18.year. I know I say this every year but I think this year it's too close
:44:19. > :44:22.to call. Heart-stopping. I am going to really miss Strictly when it
:44:23. > :44:27.finishes. What are we going to do? It's the only bit of glamour I've
:44:28. > :44:33.got in my life. I'll have to keep counting the months. Looking forward
:44:34. > :44:37.to next year's series. And remember. Keeeep dancing...
:44:38. > :44:40.So many memorable moments from the past three months.
:44:41. > :44:43.Our vote will be closing very shortly, so if you want your
:44:44. > :44:46.favourite to be crowned the winner, you don't have long left.
:44:47. > :44:49.Before we close the vote, it is time for some music.
:44:50. > :44:55.Please welcome the incredible Ellie Goulding.
:44:56. > :45:06.# You're the only thing I wanna touch
:45:07. > :45:19.# Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
:45:20. > :45:24.# Love me like you do, love me like you do
:45:25. > :45:31.# Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
:45:32. > :45:47.# Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
:45:48. > :45:56.# Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
:45:57. > :46:25.# Love me like you do, love me like you do
:46:26. > :46:29.# Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
:46:30. > :47:17.# Love me like you do, love me like you do
:47:18. > :47:28.# Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
:47:29. > :47:38.# Love me like you do, love me like you do
:47:39. > :47:45.# Touch me like you do, touch me like you do
:47:46. > :48:02.Thank you to the brilliant Ellie Goulding
:48:03. > :48:05.and, of course, our amazing professional dancers.
:48:06. > :48:08.Ladies and gentlemen, this is it, the vote is now closed.
:48:09. > :48:13.Please don't call, as your vote won't count
:48:14. > :48:22.While your votes are being counted and verified, it's time to hear
:48:23. > :48:28.from the wonderful people who took part in this series.
:48:29. > :48:30.Back in September, our celebrities hopped on the Strictly Express
:48:31. > :48:44.is an experience they'll never forget.
:48:45. > :48:53.Welcome to the launch of Strictly Come Dancing 2015! The idea of being
:48:54. > :48:57.invited on Strictly was so funny. Nothing in my life prepared me for
:48:58. > :49:06.Strictly. So long ago that we were walking down that red carpet. It was
:49:07. > :49:11.like being in Hollywood. It was nice feeling like A*. When you are paired
:49:12. > :49:19.up with your professional partner, it is quite scary. I am only human,
:49:20. > :49:22.and when I first clocked at eyes on Gleb, I went, yeah, for some reason
:49:23. > :49:27.I will dance with that guy. I thought it would be like at school,
:49:28. > :49:31.in the football team, always chosen last. I wanted Pasha, how lucky was
:49:32. > :49:42.I?! Go it is all well and good being chosen
:49:43. > :49:47.to do Strictly, but then the reality kicks in that you are going to have
:49:48. > :49:55.to train really hard. The first day, I seriously doubt it might dancing
:49:56. > :50:00.ability. Just all a bit technical. I assumed that we would meet and kind
:50:01. > :50:04.of have a long lunch and talk about dancing, cha-cha-cha, arms closed,
:50:05. > :50:10.go home. I didn't realise we were going to have to train. It was
:50:11. > :50:15.pretty intimidating. It was so intense. Every Monday, I would be
:50:16. > :50:23.stressed, thinking, oh, my gosh, I am never going to get this. Nothing
:50:24. > :50:27.can prepare you for the terror and fear of waiting to dance. I think it
:50:28. > :50:33.is the voice, the voice, it is going to haunt me for ever! Dancing first,
:50:34. > :50:40.Kirsty Gallacher... It was so nervous thing! The first show, I
:50:41. > :50:44.almost couldn't breathe. My trousers split, and I'm not the most
:50:45. > :50:49.confident dancer anyway, and my backside was out for the whole
:50:50. > :50:53.nation to see. I remember thinking, I can't run about how this starts,
:50:54. > :50:59.never mind how it ends! You feel like a bit of a puppy, please tell
:51:00. > :51:04.me I have done a good job, please! She turned into a wild pussycat! You
:51:05. > :51:08.are not chopping that right, you are not shaking that right, you are not
:51:09. > :51:15.twisting that right, have a real go at them, now you know what it is
:51:16. > :51:22.like! Craig's two paddle came out quite a few times, no, we get a two
:51:23. > :51:27.just for showing up! Ireland lend giving the first ten, that feeling
:51:28. > :51:33.is incredible. -- I remember Lenin. You have the opportunity to get into
:51:34. > :51:42.character in the themed weeks. Movie week was great. I still get kids
:51:43. > :51:49.coming up saying, I loved you as Captain Jack A sparrow. I loved it,
:51:50. > :51:55.a dream. Halloween week was my favourite week on the show. It was
:51:56. > :52:08.fun, I absolutely loved it. Who is this? This is Pasha, he was very
:52:09. > :52:12.jealous with my flirting! Welcome to Blackpool. The floor is so bouncy,
:52:13. > :52:18.you feel like you are dancing on a trampoline. This is what it is all
:52:19. > :52:22.about. The week after I went out, I was a bit sad about it all, and I
:52:23. > :52:26.realised I was only sad because I had had so much out of the show.
:52:27. > :52:32.Strictly is the most amazing programme, it has got a very warm
:52:33. > :52:39.heart, but there are eliminations. It is awful being in the dance-off.
:52:40. > :52:44.We wanted each other to do well. It is really tough saying goodbye to
:52:45. > :52:47.somebody every week. It is awful competing against your friends,
:52:48. > :52:52.because we are a really close-knit group. The most emotional part by
:52:53. > :52:58.far is saying goodbye. You know, I got lifted in the, I looked around,
:52:59. > :53:03.and I thought, I am going to miss you guys. I am one of the luckiest
:53:04. > :53:06.people on earth, I am one of the rare few to have had a Strictly
:53:07. > :53:14.experience, and I will treasure it in my heart for the rest of my life.
:53:15. > :53:20.It brings you into this sort of family of life, of happiness. It was
:53:21. > :53:26.the most wonderful, wonderful experience. I know, when I look back
:53:27. > :53:34.on my time on Strictly, I will smile. For me, it has been
:53:35. > :53:42.fab-u-lous, as Craig would say. Strictly in one word?
:53:43. > :53:52.Roller-coaster! Exciting. Unique. Exhilarating. Amazing. Overpowering.
:53:53. > :53:52.Fabulous. Exhausting. Unforgettable. Fabulous!
:53:53. > :53:55.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Three months ago they signed up
:53:56. > :53:58.for a crash course in dance, and right now they are back together
:53:59. > :54:08.to show off their skills. All that remains is for us to
:54:09. > :54:21.welcome, for want final time, our Strictly stars!
:54:22. > :57:06.That was absolutely magnificent! Well done, everybody!
:57:07. > :57:08.We are moments away from announcing our winner,
:57:09. > :57:11.and although this series is about to come to an end,
:57:12. > :57:17.we have a very special show for you on Christmas Day.
:57:18. > :57:40.It was just delicious! Thank you, guys!
:57:41. > :57:44.And the gifts keep coming! I have got the gravy. My mistake, it is
:57:45. > :58:11.fake tan! Come on, Craig, Parker up! --
:58:12. > :58:19.pucker. Merry Christmas! Make sure you tune in on Christmas Day. I am
:58:20. > :58:24.joined by the cast of 2015! We have missed every single one of you,
:58:25. > :58:30.Daniel, is it true that you stay in touch, send each other video
:58:31. > :58:35.messages? Sometimes... You need to expand on that. When they I sang to
:58:36. > :58:40.them, that might have put them over the edge. Helen, it has only been a
:58:41. > :58:45.couple of weeks, what have you missed? I miss being with these
:58:46. > :58:49.guys, we were getting emotional watching our clips, it feels like
:58:50. > :58:55.leaving school again. We could build a big house and all live in it. Oh,
:58:56. > :58:58.that is a different show! Jeremy, you were brilliant, what do you
:58:59. > :59:03.think of when you think back? Do people still go, I cannot believe
:59:04. > :59:07.you were on the horse? We would all say the professional partners were
:59:08. > :59:11.so patient, they are amazing dancers, the best in the whole
:59:12. > :59:20.world. Brendan there, by the way! For them to take the time, it meant
:59:21. > :59:26.so much. Is it lovely being here and not being judged? Walking towards
:59:27. > :59:32.the judge is going, whatever?! Craig and I had a hug, everybody. The Vine
:59:33. > :59:36.Christmas Day, there is a place free, and, Craig, you are welcome on
:59:37. > :59:47.Christmas Day, I want him to join us. We are all coming! How proud are
:59:48. > :59:52.you of your friends in the final? I know people have loved being with
:59:53. > :59:56.you, they have done brilliantly. They have done brilliantly, Claud,
:59:57. > :00:01.they are all winners, every single one of them, and how they maintained
:00:02. > :00:08.these dances, three week, amazing, immensely proud.
:00:09. > :00:14.Ainsley, is this the best Christmas party ever when you are here with
:00:15. > :00:17.all your friends? Yes. Everyone's said this year's particularly
:00:18. > :00:19.special, the camaraderie and everyone getting together, it's
:00:20. > :00:28.really nice. You guys in the corridor are smiling and happy,
:00:29. > :00:32.there is a genuine buzz. I always thought I was Smiley, but possibly
:00:33. > :00:36.not. Peter Andre, loverly to have you back. Who was the naughtiest
:00:37. > :00:44.when you were rehearsing for that group dance? 100% Iwan. Was he? !
:00:45. > :00:50.Now in just a few minutes, we'll announce the 13th Strictly champion.
:00:51. > :01:03.Here is what the judges have to say on the final three. What an
:01:04. > :01:07.incredible year. So excited. Unprintable. One of the toughest
:01:08. > :01:11.competitions of Strictly I've ever seen. The level of dance has been
:01:12. > :01:15.extraordinary. This series is the most exciting and I'm the most
:01:16. > :01:27.excited that I've ever been on Strictly. Georgia is just a pocket
:01:28. > :01:33.rocket. When I see Georgia dancing I wish I was up there dancing with
:01:34. > :01:39.her. In the early days she wasn't great at ballroom and suddenly her
:01:40. > :01:42.ballroom came to equal her Latin. To watch Georgia and Giovanni do
:01:43. > :01:46.ballroom, it's like a perfect painting. She had a turning point
:01:47. > :01:53.when she did the charleston. Full of fun and energy. So sharp, so tight,
:01:54. > :01:57.so powerful. It was just great. For me, Georgia's delivered on every
:01:58. > :02:00.aspect of dance. She dances right on the edge. It's exciting. I
:02:01. > :02:13.absolutely love her. Jay is the last man standing. He's
:02:14. > :02:17.got the how and he's got the wow. He's technically delicious. When you
:02:18. > :02:22.look back at Jay week one, he was shaking with nerves. He was
:02:23. > :02:28.extremely shy at the beginning. Now you can see somebody very special.
:02:29. > :02:34.The confidence has grown and grown. The jive that Jay did will go down
:02:35. > :02:40.in Strictly history, it just blew everybody's mind. Quite outstanding.
:02:41. > :02:48.We were gobsmacked. It was truly amazing. I don't know if he knows
:02:49. > :02:53.how good he is, but I know... What I love about Kellie is the joy
:02:54. > :02:58.that she produces on the dance floor. Kellie is a brilliant
:02:59. > :03:01.performer. When there is a crowd around her, she comes alive. Kellie
:03:02. > :03:08.and Kevin have a really special relationship. They are so powerful
:03:09. > :03:12.together. The best performance that Kellie and Kevin done is that
:03:13. > :03:17.Viennese waltz in the musical. Everybody else will have failed
:03:18. > :03:22.miserably. She was in her element. It hasn't all been a walk in the
:03:23. > :03:26.park for Kellie, she's been in the dance-off a few times. She never
:03:27. > :03:32.gives up, she's a fighter. That's a quality. So much pazazz and it's
:03:33. > :03:37.such a joy to watch her. The finalists are absolutely incredible.
:03:38. > :03:46.All technical, all great performers, all great dancers. I would be
:03:47. > :03:52.delighted with any winner. It's impossible to say.
:03:53. > :03:56.Three months of hard work has all come down to this very moment.
:03:57. > :04:11.The votes have been counted and verified and I can now reveal
:04:12. > :04:29.the Strictly Come Dancing Champions 2015 are...
:04:30. > :05:00.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Congratulations, Jay and Aliona.

:06:43. > :06:48.through your mind right now? I just think it was, it's been one of the
