0:05:56 > 0:06:00Well, here I am with a message for the nation.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I feel a bit like the Queen!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Anyway, first of all, let me start by saying,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08it's nice to see you, to see you...
0:06:08 > 0:06:10ALL: Nice!
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I couldn't quite hear that.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14It's nice to see you, to see you...
0:06:14 > 0:06:15ALL: NICE!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Oh, that's better. Much better.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21But I can't tell you how disappointed I am
0:06:21 > 0:06:24not to be with you on this Christmas day.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Well, actually, I CAN tell you - I'm absolutely gutted,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31because I haven't quite got over my operation -
0:06:31 > 0:06:33which went very well, by the way.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Yes - mind you, I was a bit worried
0:06:36 > 0:06:39when the surgeon stood over me and said, "I'll carve."
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Well, anyway, what's enough of my rehearsed ad-libs -
0:06:44 > 0:06:49thank you to all our stars and their professional partners
0:06:49 > 0:06:53for doing this special Christmas show.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56And remember, you are all my favourites,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59and I haven't said that for a long, long time.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I'll be thinking of you. Merry Christmas, happy new year -
0:07:03 > 0:07:05and keep dancing!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07APPLAUSE
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Thank you, Bruce, and we all send you our love.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Now, as everyone competing tonight
0:07:13 > 0:07:15has already proved themselves on the dance floor,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18this could be one of the closest Christmas competitions ever.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20For this show, the phone lines won't be open -
0:07:20 > 0:07:24instead, our studio audience will vote for their favourite.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Their votes will be combined with the judges' scores
0:07:26 > 0:07:32to decide who will be our Strictly Christmas champion 2015.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39First up tonight is series six finalist Lisa Snowdon
0:07:39 > 0:07:41and her partner Pasha Kovalev.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43APPLAUSE
0:07:46 > 0:07:49They're dancing a quickstep in the snow -
0:07:49 > 0:07:52and it will be just the right sort for the quickstep -
0:07:52 > 0:07:54snow, snow, thick, thick snow.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56LAUGHTER
0:07:56 > 0:07:57APPLAUSE
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Radio and TV presenter Lisa Snowdon danced her way to the final
0:08:04 > 0:08:06back in 2008.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I can't actually believe I'm back on Strictly -
0:08:08 > 0:08:13I did it all the way back in series six, and I'm very, very rusty.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I've got so many memories from being on Strictly.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17The 40s, the dances,
0:08:17 > 0:08:19the costumes...
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Eye-popping, brilliant!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23The whole experience was just phenomenal.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Since Strictly, I've been very busy -
0:08:25 > 0:08:28but there's been no dancing whatsoever.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29This is going to be a problem.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I'm dancing the quickstep, and I've got a new dance partner.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Pasha is fabulous.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Last time, when I did my quickstep I got 40,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39so there is a little bit of pressure coming from me.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40So, to win the judges over,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I suppose I could slip into their dressing rooms
0:08:42 > 0:08:45and leave them a little, like, mince pie...
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I think that's allowed, isn't it?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Hm?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Our quickstep will be themed on Alice In Wonderland.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57Lisa will be Alice, and in order for her to get into character,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I've prepared something special.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00SHE GASPS
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Shall I try it now?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Drink it.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34You actually caught me! You must have a quick step.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I have a little treat for you.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37You've got a treat for me?

0:12:35 > 0:12:38flying around there - you were moving faster than I do

0:13:45 > 0:13:47I have to say, like the boys have said,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51the combination of steps were magnificently fast.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54You were so light on your feet, the quality...
0:13:54 > 0:13:56And, I mean, I particularly loved that last diagonal,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- where you did that double jete, it was beautiful.- Thank you.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30you've carried on dancing.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31Ahem, I... No, I haven't!

0:14:50 > 0:14:51How did Lisa do?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Were you back in training going, "It's like I never left,"
0:14:53 > 0:14:55or just going, "What?! Why are you going so fast?"
0:14:55 > 0:14:57She was a little bit tired at the beginning,
0:14:57 > 0:14:59but then she said, "No, I want more, I want more,"
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- she never stopped until we were flying.- OK.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Oh, I've been at it all day, I've already done the Brussels.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- DOORBELL RINGS - Ooh! It's the doorbell. Hold on...
0:15:56 > 0:15:58# Deck the halls with boughs of holly
0:15:58 > 0:15:59# Fa-la-la-la-la... #
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's carol singers - of course.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- What's going on? Ahh! - # 'Tis the season to be jolly
0:16:03 > 0:16:06# Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la... #
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Still to come, a jive, a waltz
0:16:09 > 0:16:12and a Charleston to Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15It's certainly Christmas. Tess.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16# Fa-la-la-la-la...! #
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Our next couple is Alison Hammond, and her partner Robin Windsor.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Oh, yes!
0:16:22 > 0:16:24AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:16:24 > 0:16:27They're playing the parts of Hansel and Gretel,
0:16:27 > 0:16:30and they're going to be dancing in a house made of real sweets -
0:16:30 > 0:16:31and if that's not enough of a treat,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Robin will be dancing in lederhosen.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35AUDIENCE: Whoo!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43TV presenter Alison Hammond fulfilled a childhood fantasy
0:16:43 > 0:16:46when she took part in Strictly last year.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49When I was really young, I always wanted to be a ballerina,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51so when I got the call for Strictly,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I was like, "Oh, my gosh, my dream has come true."
0:16:53 > 0:16:55My favourite moment in Strictly
0:16:55 > 0:17:00has to be the first time I did my cha-cha, it was just magical.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01I'm never going to get bored of watching you.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04And then my Charleston - and that was the dance I went out on,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07so I went in on a high, and I went out on a high.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I can't wait for Christmas, because I've not told any of my family
0:17:10 > 0:17:12I'm doing Strictly, and then on Christmas Day,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I'm going to go, "Hi, family, it's me! I'm back!"
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I can't wait!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I've always had my eye on that Robin Windsor.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22When they told me I've actually got Robin,
0:17:22 > 0:17:24it's like the best thing ever!
0:17:24 > 0:17:28We are Hansel and Gretel, and I'm dancing a cha-cha!
0:17:28 > 0:17:32My first cha-cha, we scored 26 points, which was great,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35but we never, ever got an 8.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Come on, judges, give me an 8 - it's Christmas!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41MUSIC: Step Into Christmas by Elton John
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Cha-cha-cha...
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Step, step, one-two-three, go!
0:17:44 > 0:17:48I am very nervous about my cha-cha - mainly because it's very, very fast.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50It's more like a chacha!
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- One and two and three...- Oh...
0:17:53 > 0:17:57I'm dancing it like a cha...cha, do you know what I mean?!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00So out of breath, can't breathe.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02You know when they say, "Keep dancing"? I didn't.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03I stopped.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I am finding it a little bit challenging.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07One... Aargh!
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Alison's really good at the whole body-rolling stuff.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15That's going in.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- No, it's not!- Yeah, it is!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19I was kind of freestyling, busting out some of my moves -
0:18:19 > 0:18:21the next thing I know, Robin was like, "I love it,"
0:18:21 > 0:18:24and he's put it in the routine! I feel like a choreographer!
0:18:27 > 0:18:31I am SO excited that I'm going to be part of the nation's Christmas Day.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Happy Christmas, everyone!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34APPLAUSE

0:20:37 > 0:20:40What a treat to see you back, Alison.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Oh, it's so good to be back!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45That was perfect for Christmas - you've even got a Robin on your arm!
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I was laughing all the way through it!
0:20:47 > 0:20:48LAUGHTER
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- Oh, it was brilliant! - Nothing's changed, then?!- Sorry!
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Don't apologise - we were celebrating with you all the way through that.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00- Were you, Bruno?- Oh, yes - you were like a luscious Christmas hamper
0:21:00 > 0:21:02full of joy and treats.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Ideal to get the party started! I love when she does her thing.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Forget about Robin - I'm going disco!
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Your disco!
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Your disco... Your disco...needs you!
0:21:15 > 0:21:16It's fun!
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Someone's been on the sherry.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Thank you, Bruno!
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Craig, before you say anything,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25remember, it is the season of goodwill.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Er, yes, it is, but that was horribly flatfooted, my darling.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30AUDIENCE BOOS
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Oh, it's Christmas!
0:21:31 > 0:21:35It lacked hip action - but, you know, it is Christmas, after all.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37I did love all the disco stuff in there,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I thought that was brilliant.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43- You have a natural rhythm, you bring joy to this dance floor...- So true.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- ..and it's absolutely gorgeous. - AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:21:45 > 0:21:47So true!
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Oh, we were feeling the joy, weren't we, Darcey?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Oh, we certainly were.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I was absolutely amazed with the speed of that armography,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- down there. - Did you like that, babe?
0:21:56 > 0:21:57That was extraordinary!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Yeah, it was great! - How did you that?! It was amazing!
0:22:00 > 0:22:01And also, I love the competition -
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I don't know if you actually realised, between you,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05you were having that little dance competition,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09and you pushed him... Robin, are you all right?!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11You went flying backwards!
0:22:11 > 0:22:15I don't know me own strength, Darcey! I swear. I don't.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17But you got up, put your hat back on,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19and I have to say, you are a bundle of Christmas fun,
0:22:19 > 0:22:21it was fabulous - thank you.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Len, was that the Christmas gift
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- that you've been waiting for? - Oh, 100% -
0:22:29 > 0:22:33the yummy Brummie, throbbing Robin, out there -
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I tell you, more fun than warming your chestnuts round an open fire.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38- LAUGHTER - Absolutely was.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Full of energy... You know, Christmas is about enjoying yourself
0:22:42 > 0:22:45and having fun and you epitomise just that.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- Well done. - APPLAUSE
0:22:47 > 0:22:48Oh, thanks, Len!
0:22:48 > 0:22:50You had us all smiling, you yummy Brummie!
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Yeah!- Go and take some sweets up to Claudia's party.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- I am good enough to eat! - Aren't you just?

0:22:58 > 0:23:00AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Hello!- It is so adorable to have you back.- So funny!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14All we can hear is your giggling, your laughter - did you enjoy it?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16It was your first dance, the cha-cha, wasn't it?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19It was my first dance, with Aljaz - he's here!
0:23:19 > 0:23:20ALL CHEER
0:23:20 > 0:23:23He's a little bit jealous, but don't worry about it,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24- I'll see you later. - LAUGHTER
0:23:24 > 0:23:27But, yeah, we've had such a brilliant time, and - yeah,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31my cha-cha was my first dance, to do that again, with Robin, honestly...
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And you two have got on so brilliantly well.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Yeah.- Every scene from the training room
0:23:35 > 0:23:36is both of you crying with laughter!
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I don't think we rehearsed, did we?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40We haven't stopped laughing for weeks and weeks.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42And even then, we messed up so many moves -
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I shouldn't really say this, but it was so funny!
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- I found it hilarious!- We thought it looked flawless.- Did it?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Now, you never got an 8. - I never got an 8.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- How much would you like an 8? - I wouldn't mind it.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Not because I'm a big, fat lady, but I just want an 8!
0:23:54 > 0:23:55- LAUGHTER - Fair enough.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Fair enough - no, makes total sense.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58The scores are in.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Ladies and gentlemen, the judges' scores.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30Alison, for you, I've got the kippers you wanted...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- LAUGHTER - No, babes, I said "slippers".
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- I wanted slippers. - All right. Well, you're welcome.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36Peel a potato.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41Still to come, Abbey Clancy as Rapunzel with long, blonde hair.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Either that or Robbie Savage is back.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Tess, quick question - how many Brussels sprouts do you want?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Because they're genuinely massive.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50LAUGHTER
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Erm, just the one for me, thanks, Claud.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Next up tonight, it's Cassidy Little and his partner Natalie Lowe.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05but tonight he's taking on the role of Puss in Boots,
0:25:05 > 0:25:06and he's doing a jive.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's a fast and furious routine, which is perfect for Cassidy,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12because this pussycat can be an animal on the dance floor.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Veteran Cassidy Little won over the nation's hearts
0:25:21 > 0:25:24when he became the first ever People's Strictly champion.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26It's an honour to have own The People's Strictly.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Bruno said to me...
0:25:28 > 0:25:31That was one of the most compelling performances I've seen.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:25:32 > 0:25:34HE LAUGHS
0:25:34 > 0:25:35The 10s were unbelievable.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Just amazing.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43I'm absolutely thrilled to be dancing with Natalie again.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Our theme is Puss In Boots.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Last time, I did a paso doble.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51This time it's the jive.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Agh!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55There's a lot of firsts happening on this Christmas special.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57I'm not a celebrity - I'm a veteran,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59and I'm going to be on Strictly Come Dancing.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01I'm looking forward to it.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Cassidy!

0:26:11 > 0:26:13It's a reunion of epic proportions.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Yes!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17# Jingle bell, jingle bell jingle bell swing... #
0:26:17 > 0:26:21The jive Cassidy and I are doing is fast, it's fun, it's furious.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23It feels like something that I could really, really enjoy.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Gah!
0:26:26 > 0:26:27With training going well,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Cassidy and Natalie are taking a little Strictly Christmas cheer
0:26:31 > 0:26:33to veteran centre Tedworth House.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Thank you for welcoming us into your home.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Guys, I've never used this facility before - what happens here?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41You come back, and you can undertake courses,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43and so - learning, development.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45How often do you come to Tedworth House?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I come in here quite a bit - sort of helping with my recovery
0:26:48 > 0:26:50and sort of got into sport.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51I notice that you've got an above-knee.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Have you ever thought about dancing?
0:26:53 > 0:26:54I haven't, to be honest.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I know how hard it is to walk on a prosthetic, let alone dance.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I take my hat off to you.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Is there any performance art that they support here?
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- Dare I say... - Dancing!- ..a bit of dancing, maybe?!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08They're missing a dance teacher, is what I think it might be.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Meeting Cassidy today was inspiring -
0:27:12 > 0:27:16to see him dancing with a prosthetic, it's really amazing.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18It's great to have somebody like Cassidy
0:27:18 > 0:27:19showing you what is possible.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Today has been an unforgettable day.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26I've met some incredible people - hopefully I can take some
0:27:26 > 0:27:30of the confidence they had in me, and maybe we'll do a decent dance.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32APPLAUSE
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Dancing the jive, Cassidy Little and Natalie Lowe.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43- It just happened. - Well, you made it look very easy.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Easy to see why you're the People's champion, too.- Yes.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Is he your champion, Craig?

0:30:11 > 0:30:13and there was a lot of feline tricks,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15and those lifts - brilliant.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I have to say, though,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19it was the performance value that did it for me -
0:30:19 > 0:30:22that enthusiasm and energy that you give is perfect for the jive.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- Well done.- Thank you.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Thank you!

0:30:42 > 0:30:45You come out, dance clean, totally committed -
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- I congratulate you, well done. - Thank you, sir.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Perfect. Did that jive get you jumping?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Oh, those boots are made for jiving, I tell you that!
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Danced with exuberance, and you played the part with such gusto -
0:30:58 > 0:31:00really like a cat that got the cream.

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Don't worry. I've got it sorted.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40But don't tell him!

0:34:11 > 0:34:13For model and TV presenter Abbey Clancy,
0:34:13 > 0:34:18winning Strictly in 2013 was a dream come true.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20It's hard to describe how amazing Strictly was -
0:34:20 > 0:34:23it was the best time of me life.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26I think you are a spectacular dancer.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29I still can't believe I won. It's like a fairy tale.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32To come back and relive this experience,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34even if it's for one day, Christmas Day,
0:34:34 > 0:34:36it's going to be magical.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40My favourite thing about Christmas is the whole family being together.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42They all muck in helping to make the dinner.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44This year is going to be extra special,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46because we've got two new babies in our family -
0:34:46 > 0:34:48my baby, Liberty, and my brother's baby, Caleb.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53I am playing Rapunzel, and Brendan Cole is going to be my prince.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55I've got two little girls -
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Sophia's obsessed as dressing up as princesses,
0:34:57 > 0:34:59so when I came home and told her, she was in her room,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Rapunzel dress on, extensions out the drawer -
0:35:02 > 0:35:06wanted a long plait in - she's even more excited than I am.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11# It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
0:35:11 > 0:35:12# Everywhere... #
0:35:12 > 0:35:14How can you fall over, doing a waltz?!
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I've got to play the role of a princess,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19and I know the perfect little girl to show me how to do that.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Princess Sophia!
0:35:21 > 0:35:25To be the best Rapunzel ever, Sophia has told me
0:35:25 > 0:35:26that I need to have really long hair.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30- Is this your mummy's hair? - Rapunzel!- Rapunzel!
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- I think we should try and turn Mummy into a princess.- Yeah!
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Push it on! - Do I look like a princess?!
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Do you know who I think would look even better in this?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Brendan.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44Am I a princess?
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Like all good princesses, they need to know how to cast magic spells.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- We'll turn him into a...- Frog!
0:35:51 > 0:35:53- BOTH:- Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!
0:35:55 > 0:35:56SHE LAUGHS
0:35:56 > 0:35:59And, of course, princesses love to dance.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02Head back, like this.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Whee!
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Having Sophia here today has given me that extra little boost I need
0:36:08 > 0:36:10to go out there and wow the judges.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Good luck, Mummy and Brendan!
0:36:12 > 0:36:14APPLAUSE

0:38:29 > 0:38:32- We've fallen in love with you all over again.- Thanks.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Darcey, did you?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Wow, that was one of the most elegantly controlled waltzes
0:38:37 > 0:38:39I've seen at Christmas.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42The way you held on to that top line throughout the dance -
0:38:42 > 0:38:46when it's that controlled, that was beautiful.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47Really, Abbey.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49APPLAUSE
0:38:50 > 0:38:54You haven't lost any of those skills, you've still got it,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57and that was a dream of a fairy tale.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- Thank you.- Still got it! APPLAUSE

0:39:19 > 0:39:21APPLAUSE
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Bruno, you look like all your Christmases came at once!
0:39:24 > 0:39:28My dancing queen waltzed her way back straight into my heart
0:39:28 > 0:39:29as if she never left.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Conditioned to perfection -
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- not a split end in sight... - LAUGHTER
0:39:34 > 0:39:36..and full of dazzling highlights.

0:39:50 > 0:39:53your top line, I thought, was absolutely marvellous.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I spotted twice a bit of gapping...
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- LEN:- Gapping?! - AUDIENCE GROANS
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- Oh, you would! - I just had a Christmas pudding,
0:39:59 > 0:40:01I didn't know where to put it, I thought I'd better leave a gap.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04I have to say, absolutely GORGEOUS!

0:40:31 > 0:40:34I know. And you haven't danced here since 2013.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- You've had another baby since.- Yes.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I know Sophia's so excited that you were Rapunzel.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Do you love it out there? You look quite emotional.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43I do feel emotional.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Like, it was just the most incredible thing,
0:40:45 > 0:40:50and to win and come back and dance with another fantastic dancer
0:40:50 > 0:40:51is just incredible.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54The last time you two danced together, of course,
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- you were competing.- Yes, indeed.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59I must say, Aljaz taught her so well, but she is so good,

0:41:52 > 0:41:54combined with the judges' scores that decide
0:41:54 > 0:41:57who will be our Strictly Christmas champion.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Tess, guess what?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01I've got the gravy. Oh.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03My mistake. It's fake tan. Sorry.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17Harry will be playing the part of Jack Frost,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20and he's the perfect guest for our Christmas party.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22He's only got to hold a bottle of wine for a second
0:42:22 > 0:42:23and it's perfectly chilled.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:42:26 > 0:42:31Strictly champion Harry Judd has a really successful pop career,
0:42:31 > 0:42:34but there's something else his fans like to talk about.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37I've been in McFly for 12 years.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39We've had seven number one singles, two number one albums,
0:42:39 > 0:42:40toured the world.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42When I'm down the supermarket,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45people just still want to know about Strictly.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Strictly was, without doubt,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49one of the most amazing things I've ever done.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52I completely fell in love with dancing,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54and I've been really sad to have not had it in my life
0:42:54 > 0:42:56over the past four years.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Every now and again I might, you know, watch myself on YouTube,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01not, like, every day...
0:43:02 > 0:43:06I absolutely love Christmas. For me, it's all about family,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08being together and having a lovely time.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10This year, it's going to be even more magical,
0:43:10 > 0:43:13cos me and my wife Izzy are expecting our first baby.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16So, I'm partnered with Jo, and we're dancing the American smooth.
0:43:16 > 0:43:17I'm playing Jack Frost.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20I reckon he thinks he's quite COOL, right?
0:43:21 > 0:43:25# Simply having a wonderful Christmas time... #
0:43:25 > 0:43:27- That's pretty good.- Yeah?
0:43:27 > 0:43:29That was about a 4.
0:43:31 > 0:43:32I found, when I did Strictly,
0:43:32 > 0:43:34that having a character to play
0:43:34 > 0:43:35was something really helpful,
0:43:35 > 0:43:39so I'm looking forward to getting to know the character Jack Frost.
0:43:39 > 0:43:43Training's going really well, but Harry's acting a bit strange.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46Morning, Jo. You all right?
0:43:46 > 0:43:47Whoa!
0:43:47 > 0:43:49WIND WHISTLES
0:43:49 > 0:43:50I walked into training this morning
0:43:50 > 0:43:53and Jo was just, like, completely blown away.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55Here you go, Jo. Made you a nice cup of tea.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Milk, five sugars, as requested.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59CRACKING
0:43:59 > 0:44:02I think I'm going to take him out for a bit of fresh air.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05# Frosty the snowman was a happy, jolly soul... #
0:44:05 > 0:44:08CRACKING
0:44:09 > 0:44:11Right, which way is it? Is it...
0:44:11 > 0:44:13- SHE GASPS - Harry, look!
0:44:13 > 0:44:15- No, it's definitely this way.- Look!
0:44:15 > 0:44:18- Let's go!- Maybe this Jack Frost character isn't going to be such
0:44:18 > 0:44:20a struggle for Harry after all.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23Last time I did the American smooth, I got 39.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27I'm hoping, maybe, this time I might get a 40. Craig?
0:44:27 > 0:44:30It is Christmas, mate. Come on.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:46:40 > 0:46:42Oh, listen to that!
0:46:44 > 0:46:47That gave us all chills! Oh! Lovely.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50How about you, Len?
0:46:50 > 0:46:54- Harry, I have truly missed watching you dance.- Aw.- Honestly.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Lovely wide elbows,
0:46:59 > 0:47:00flat back,
0:47:00 > 0:47:03driving off onto the heel, onto the ball of the foot,
0:47:03 > 0:47:06smooth as ice cream melting on a hot mince pie,
0:47:06 > 0:47:09it was delicious!
0:47:09 > 0:47:11Oh!

0:48:45 > 0:48:47Honestly, like, four years ago,
0:48:47 > 0:48:49I would not believe myself
0:48:49 > 0:48:51if I said I love to dance, and I do.

0:50:51 > 0:50:53and then, of course, Strictly happened
0:50:53 > 0:50:55and my life changed.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57It's so exciting to be back.
0:50:57 > 0:51:00A golden moment to have in your life.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03For years now, I've always been jealous about everyone
0:51:03 > 0:51:05getting to do the Charleston,
0:51:05 > 0:51:09and doing it with Oti, it's like my Christmas wishes have all come true.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12We call each other "Toti" - "Tom" and "Oti" - "Toti".
0:51:12 > 0:51:15What other character should you be playing on Christmas Day
0:51:15 > 0:51:18other than Scrooge?
0:51:19 > 0:51:20It's Scrooge time.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24We're dancing the Charleston, which is amazing,
0:51:24 > 0:51:26because I've never done the Charleston before,
0:51:26 > 0:51:28however, it is absolutely exhausting.
0:51:31 > 0:51:33The theme of our dance is A Christmas Carol.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Tom is playing Scrooge,
0:51:35 > 0:51:37and I'm trying my best to get him into character.
0:51:37 > 0:51:41One slight problem. I absolutely love Christmas.
0:51:41 > 0:51:46# I wish it could be Christmas every day... #
0:51:46 > 0:51:47Tom!

0:51:54 > 0:51:57Oh, come on!
0:51:57 > 0:51:58Hey!
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Merry Christmas!
0:52:01 > 0:52:02Oti, wait.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Um...I've just got to...
0:52:04 > 0:52:06I've just got to nip out.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08Back in a bit.

0:52:29 > 0:52:31Um... Sorry about that.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33- You are Scrooge! - I know, but, you know...
0:52:33 > 0:52:34You can't be here.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48I have to say.

0:55:51 > 0:55:54my goodness, and the precision of it all!
0:55:54 > 0:55:58I have to say, that tap sequence, as well,

0:56:51 > 0:56:52- It's been seven years.- I know.
0:56:52 > 0:56:55And in my head, I thought, "The Charleston? That'll be brilliant,"
0:56:55 > 0:56:57and then my body was going,
0:56:57 > 0:56:59"It's seven years later, son, don't you worry."
0:56:59 > 0:57:00I felt like Scrooge at the beginning.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02And you hadn't done the Charleston before.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04That was the thing, really,
0:57:04 > 0:57:07- cos it had never been in the syllabus in our day.- It's true.
0:57:07 > 0:57:09All my family and friends are all like,
