:12:52. > :12:54.they will hit the training rooms to learn their routines for our
:12:55. > :12:57.first live show in three weeks' time, but tonight, they can relax

:13:17. > :13:26.Look at the girls, they are all frisky and risky,
:13:27. > :13:40.Bruno, you saw all our celebrities walk down the stairs.
:13:41. > :13:43.Just by the way that they use the bannister, who would you say
:13:44. > :13:47.is going to win Strictly Come Dancing?
:13:48. > :13:51.I tell you one thing, by the way I saw them
:13:52. > :13:56.sashaying down the stairs I could see images of graceful flamingos,
:13:57. > :14:02.agile cheaters, a few stampeding wildebeests...
:14:03. > :14:06.But you know, it's early days because overall,
:14:07. > :14:12.they are wonderful, a fantastic cast for a magnificent season 14.
:14:13. > :14:18.Now, it's the moment Tess has been looking
:14:19. > :14:24.Yes, it's time to pair up our famous 15
:14:25. > :14:28.So let's meet our first group of girls.

:14:31. > :14:37.Louise Redknapp, singing sensation, TV presenter and mum of two, is
:14:38. > :14:40.taking Strictly training to another level.
:14:41. > :14:53.I think people best known me for music, back in the Eternal days.
:14:54. > :15:03.I just need a partner that is kind of kind, and obviously,
:15:04. > :15:06.I'm going to need patience, don't expect too much too soon.
:15:07. > :15:08.Now is the perfect time for me to be Strictly.
:15:09. > :15:10.For so many years, my children needed to come
:15:11. > :15:13.first and I never felt I could give it my all.
:15:14. > :15:16.They are older now and I feel I deserve to do something that
:15:17. > :15:23.BBC Breakfast and news presenter Naga Munchetty has a
:15:24. > :15:27.secret weapon up her sleeve to win over the Strictly audience.
:15:28. > :15:31.I'm quite known for a bit of a death stare.
:15:32. > :15:37.I'm used to the idea of millions of people watching me on television.
:15:38. > :15:42.However, not in front of hundreds of people
:15:43. > :15:49.who are watching us in an audience, who can see every little mistake!
:15:50. > :15:56.BBC Breakfast Has a real history with Strictly come dancing.
:15:57. > :15:58.Chris Hollins, Bill Turnbull, Susanna Reid, Carol Kirkwood, and
:15:59. > :16:02.I just hope I can follow in their great dancing footsteps.
:16:03. > :16:05.I'm going to embrace it because I don't ever
:16:06. > :16:07.want to look back on this experience and think,
:16:08. > :16:13.Pop star Anastacia is no stranger to Strictly, having sung in
:16:14. > :16:19.I was lucky enough to perform on the show
:16:20. > :16:23.You just get swept away with the magic of everything
:16:24. > :16:29.I just said, "Yes, yes, let's do it".
:16:30. > :16:31.Right now, sitting in his chair, I really wish
:16:32. > :16:38.I'm a good pointer and microphone, like,
:16:39. > :16:44.For me, I'm not crazy about the militant, "Dude
:16:45. > :16:49.I'm definitely not the person who is like, "Yeah, yell
:16:50. > :16:55.I'd have to do cry and do ten push-ups.
:16:56. > :16:58.I am super looking forward to the show.
:16:59. > :17:10.Our next contestant kick-started her career as an MTV
:17:11. > :17:15.So my first job was to interview Chris
:17:16. > :17:18.Martin in LA and I was so out of my depth.
:17:19. > :17:20.Kind of like the situation I'm in now!
:17:21. > :17:27.I actually got some dancing tips on Tom Hanks.
:17:28. > :17:36.And I showed him my robot which I don't think is
:17:37. > :17:40.One of the dances I can do on Strictly. So that's probably
:17:41. > :17:42.useless. When it comes to dance partners,
:17:43. > :17:44.they'll probably have to be a little bit discipline
:17:45. > :17:47.and tummy to shut up. If we are on a night out
:17:48. > :17:52.and the music comes on, What I'm doing on the dance
:17:53. > :17:55.floor is questionable. It's time for me to stop
:17:56. > :17:58.talking and start dancing! And first up, she was in
:17:59. > :18:00.Eternal but how long Our very first pairing and you have
:18:01. > :18:17.got the pick of the bunch. Yeah, really nervous
:18:18. > :18:24.but excited as well. It's just the unknown a little bit
:18:25. > :18:27.so I'm looking forward to getting OK, we have eight marvellous male
:18:28. > :18:31.dancers that you could be partnered with and I promise they
:18:32. > :18:34.have absolutely no idea either who We have Anton, Brendan, Aljaz,
:18:35. > :18:48.Kevin, Pasha, Giovanni, or will it be one of our
:18:49. > :18:52.new boys, Gorka or AJ? Dancers, will you please take
:18:53. > :18:55.your positions? You're all giggling!
:18:56. > :19:14.I know, like a teenager! Big smiles all around.
:19:15. > :19:37.Really happy. Our first happy couple.
:19:38. > :19:40.Off you go to see Claudia. And next, she is
:19:41. > :19:50.a Breakfast presenter but will she snap, crackle
:19:51. > :19:52.and pop on the dance floor? Fantastic, it's a very different
:19:53. > :20:01.look to what you wear on Very, very different
:20:02. > :20:04.but I think I would merge I think we should make the sofa in
:20:05. > :20:07.this material. Don't be scared.
:20:08. > :20:21.I'm scared for them! He's a wonderful teacher
:20:22. > :20:47.and he is also the 2014 champion. I'm sure you'll make
:20:48. > :21:04.headlines together. Let's hope she doesn't
:21:05. > :21:10.dance out of time. Yes, Anastacia or should
:21:11. > :21:14.I say Bling-a-stacia! You know, I've always
:21:15. > :21:21.dreamed of this much bling And you have sold over 30 million
:21:22. > :21:26.records, haven't you? So we know you can sing
:21:27. > :21:32.but crucially, can you dance? I just want to tell
:21:33. > :21:37.you that I'm really glad to We are about to meet
:21:38. > :21:46.your dancing partner. Is it?
:21:47. > :22:02.You'll be fine. Watch this space, it's
:22:03. > :22:32.Anastacia and Brendan! And next, can she move
:22:33. > :22:37.as well as she looks? Big Bird!
:22:38. > :22:49.No, beautiful bird. You are a self-confessed
:22:50. > :22:51.Strictly fan. I am, I love the show,
:22:52. > :22:53.I've seen every How does it feel to be
:22:54. > :22:59.standing in the studio now? It's quite surreal because I've
:23:00. > :23:02.watched every series normally with my mam and if I have not
:23:03. > :23:05.watched it with her, we always talk about it
:23:06. > :23:08.on the phone afterwards. So she's already booked her flight
:23:09. > :23:11.to come over as soon as she can. Well, she's going to be
:23:12. > :23:14.very interested in who She actually is, I had a phone call
:23:15. > :23:18.before this. OK, you are going to
:23:19. > :23:22.be dancing with... Look at their little faces,
:23:23. > :23:28.trying to look nonchalant. A fiery combination,
:23:29. > :23:54.Laura and Giovanni. We still have 11 more celebrities
:23:55. > :24:01.to match up with their professional partners but before that,
:24:02. > :24:04.let's find out how our first four Laura, you say that
:24:05. > :24:18.you are our biggest super fan. Is it everything you
:24:19. > :24:21.thought it would be? There's even more
:24:22. > :24:25.sparkles than I thought. Naga, I have to ask you,
:24:26. > :24:28.what advice did you get from Carol because I presume it was, whatever

:24:32. > :24:41.was somebody kind and patient. I have to tell you,

:34:36. > :34:46.Judge Rinder and Danny Mac. DJ and TV presenter Melvin Odoom
:34:47. > :34:56.can't wait to mix it up on the floor "Oh, my goodness, you are
:34:57. > :35:02.on Strictly Come Dancing! We need to call grandma,
:35:03. > :35:09.we need to call auntie". "Oh, OK, yeah, that's great,
:35:10. > :35:13.OK, good". There's a lot of timing
:35:14. > :35:18.involved, a lot of rhythm and my music
:35:19. > :35:21.knowledge should help. I'm kind of used to being
:35:22. > :35:28.in weird outfits like You can't put me in any
:35:29. > :35:35.thing I'll be scared of. I'm going to be the Beyonce of
:35:36. > :35:41.Strictly. I don't know if that's
:35:42. > :35:43.a good thing but He won a gold at the
:35:44. > :35:49.London Olympics and a Hoping to leap his way
:35:50. > :35:53.to the top, it's long jumper, But I'm incredibly nervous
:35:54. > :36:01.at the prospect of Strictly. My son loves dancing,
:36:02. > :36:07.funnily enough. If you put music on, he bounces
:36:08. > :36:10.around like no tomorrow. If anything, we should
:36:11. > :36:12.have him on the show because I think he'd be
:36:13. > :36:15.an awful lot better than I am. I'm quite worried about
:36:16. > :36:21.the prospect of having to hold I have a big, horrible smile
:36:22. > :36:25.and just to give you an idea of you I was a bit disappointed
:36:26. > :36:29.with the bronze medal in Rio. I'm going to be working
:36:30. > :36:31.incredibly hard to rectify losing at the Olympics,
:36:32. > :36:33.to try to win at Strictly. Our next contestant is known
:36:34. > :36:39.for judging real-life cases on national television,
:36:40. > :36:42.the formidable Judge Rinder. Anyone that has watched my programme
:36:43. > :36:46.knows that I'm very, very It will be interesting
:36:47. > :36:55.to see how the judges I love Strictly because it's
:36:56. > :37:03.absolute joy and escapism. But I always want to act
:37:04. > :37:06.in a thoroughly thoughtful But if you get involved
:37:07. > :37:12.in a competition like this, I mean, who went into
:37:13. > :37:16.the competition saying, I can't wait to swap
:37:17. > :37:25.the courtroom for the ballroom. Hollyoaks heart-throb Danny Mac
:37:26. > :37:29.is no stranger to a bit of drama. Dodger had some pretty
:37:30. > :37:34.interesting storylines. His rivalry with his brother
:37:35. > :37:37.was probably my favourite. And fathered his brother's
:37:38. > :37:46.ex-girlfriend's child. I am so excited to take
:37:47. > :37:54.part in Strictly. Dancing was a part of my course
:37:55. > :37:57.when I started college at 18. It is going to be so different
:37:58. > :38:03.from anything else I've done. I'm still trying to work
:38:04. > :38:05.out what ballroom is, I literally don't know
:38:06. > :38:09.what any of it means! First, he spins records
:38:10. > :38:16.on the radio but I bet his head Now, your mum is your
:38:17. > :38:32.biggest fan isn't she? It is time to find out who your
:38:33. > :38:44.dance partner is. It could be Natalie,
:38:45. > :38:49.Janette, Karen, Joanne, Oti, or will it be one
:38:50. > :38:56.of our new professionals, Please take your
:38:57. > :39:01.positions on the floor. Remember,
:39:02. > :39:05.they don't have a clue who they are going to get either so,
:39:06. > :39:08.Melvin, the lady you will be Your mum is laughing harder
:39:09. > :39:14.than anyone, by I like that kind of reaction,
:39:15. > :39:32.yes, yes! That's good, off
:39:33. > :39:44.you go, it is Melvin Next we know he can
:39:45. > :39:51.jump, but can he jive? This entire process
:39:52. > :40:04.is destroying me inside. I'm used to competing when I run
:40:05. > :40:16.in a straight Greg, your professional
:40:17. > :40:26.dance partner will be... A lovely
:40:27. > :40:49.lift already. Thrilled. Like, this is exactly what
:40:50. > :41:02.I wanted. They look like a winning couple to
:41:03. > :41:09.me, it's Greg and Natalie! Time now to pair up our next
:41:10. > :41:19.celebrity, and I hope there'll That's one way of
:41:20. > :41:32.describing it, yeah. How on earth are you going to cope
:41:33. > :41:38.with being judged yourself? Well, just as long as Darcey, Len
:41:39. > :41:42.and Bruno is as brilliant as I think they are, I think it
:41:43. > :41:44.will be perfect. I think you missed someone out on
:41:45. > :41:48.the panel. I've never been this nervous
:41:49. > :42:29.about meeting a girl. There's a first time
:42:30. > :42:36.for everything on this show. Now in Hollyoaks he
:42:37. > :42:46.played Mark Savage. It could be a good omen,
:42:47. > :42:49.as Mark Savage is Craig's Danny Boy, are you ready to meet
:42:50. > :43:12.your new partner? You can put him down now,
:43:13. > :43:43.put him down now, sweetie. I can see
:43:44. > :43:48.you were surprised. Off you go, go and get bonding,
:43:49. > :43:58.it's Danny and Oti. Now Danny, you look good
:43:59. > :44:09.standing, what happens Can you do anything, can you show
:44:10. > :44:16.me anything? I have a rogue shoulder
:44:17. > :44:23.and that's about it. Judge Rinder, is it true you've
:44:24. > :44:25.been learning Russian? What phrase or what word in Russian
:44:26. > :44:36.is Judge Rinder going to hear I think she's asked me
:44:37. > :44:47.to go shopping at Tesco. Melvin, can I point out to
:44:48. > :44:51.the people at home, what I love most Everyone's terrified,
:44:52. > :44:55.shaking, being sick, you constantly have a hand
:44:56. > :44:57.in your pocket. You wake up at 4am every day to do
:44:58. > :45:04.your Kiss radio show. Early start but I have a great
:45:05. > :45:10.teacher right here and the These four are winning material,
:45:11. > :45:22.but what do the judges think? Bruno, at this early
:45:23. > :45:24.stage, which partnership Kevin and Louise look
:45:25. > :45:36.ready for magic to me. There's something about the two,
:45:37. > :45:38.I know them for a very long time in the temperament as
:45:39. > :45:45.performers, it could be fantastic. Darcey, we're looking forward
:45:46. > :45:47.to the group dance later. Knowing the rest, I mean,
:45:48. > :45:57.I can only expect wow factor. "Spectacular", "amazing",
:45:58. > :46:02."incredible" ? just a few of the words that the Judges used
:46:03. > :46:05.to describe last year's Before we see them dance,
:46:06. > :46:10.let's remind ourselves Being on Strictly
:46:11. > :46:14.absolutely exceeded my Ali and I made some amazing
:46:15. > :46:25.memories, produced some brilliant dances and found
:46:26. > :46:27.the most awesome friendship. The whole experience
:46:28. > :46:32.together was incredible. Lifting the Glitterball
:46:33. > :46:41.was unbelievable. I had an amazing seven
:46:42. > :46:46.years on Strictly. It's incredible to
:46:47. > :46:51.leave on such a high. Being given the chance to dance one
:46:52. > :46:54.last time with Aliona Please welcome back for one final
:46:55. > :47:04.dance, Jay and Aliona. Lightning can strike
:47:05. > :49:05.twice, that was amazing. Jay, how does it feel to be
:49:06. > :49:10.back in the ballroom? Aliona, your last time performing
:49:11. > :49:17.in the Strictly ballroom as well? Jay helped me to lift the
:49:18. > :49:23.Glitterball, second time. I'm sure it's going to
:49:24. > :49:31.be an amazing series. We've got 15 absolutely
:49:32. > :49:39.terrified celebrities. I would say just support
:49:40. > :49:45.each other, root for each other when you watch each
:49:46. > :49:48.other and have a blast, because I remember Caroline Flack said last
:49:49. > :49:51.year, you won't do anything like These two turned out
:49:52. > :50:02.to be perfect partners. Now let's see how this year's
:50:03. > :50:05.celebrities got on when they met the professional dancers
:50:06. > :50:13.for the very first time. Strictly's back, can you
:50:14. > :50:16.believe it? Feels like it's going
:50:17. > :50:21.to be a good year. I have pictured a final again
:50:22. > :50:24.already. That's good news, because
:50:25. > :50:33.guess what? What?
:50:34. > :50:39.We're here. As you know, it is the
:50:40. > :50:43.first day of Strictly. Are you ready to meet
:50:44. > :50:45.your new classmates? Students, on three,
:50:46. > :50:52.lower your books. I've never seen so many
:50:53. > :51:02.attractive people I have a bubbling
:51:03. > :51:06.excitement inside me. I don't know if I can dance any
:51:07. > :51:12.more, it's been so long. Professionals, please
:51:13. > :51:18.take your new students for their It's day one, I can't
:51:19. > :51:35.believe this is our group dance, this is the one we're
:51:36. > :51:37.actually doing on telly. They think they know
:51:38. > :51:41.what they're about to go through,
:51:42. > :51:43.but they have no idea. I thought we would be
:51:44. > :51:46.just touch stepping. That's the sign of
:51:47. > :51:52.a very good dancer. Keeping with your partner,
:51:53. > :51:57.keeping time with them, the steps I don't think my problem
:51:58. > :52:06.will be stamina. My problem will be not
:52:07. > :52:08.looking like a right idiot. When I miss a step, I get annoyed
:52:09. > :52:11.and I miss even more steps. I feel so sorry for whoever gets me
:52:12. > :52:14.as their partner. I was teaching Aljaz
:52:15. > :52:26.a bit of Irish dancing. One thing to bring to the
:52:27. > :52:29.show... Who would have known I know
:52:30. > :52:32.how to do the splits? You think you've nailed one bit
:52:33. > :52:35.and then they bring another bit in. Look at this array of
:52:36. > :52:46.fabulousness this year. Hopefully they'll all want to dance
:52:47. > :52:50.with me, because that will be really awkward
:52:51. > :52:53.if they don't. Everyone's trying to
:52:54. > :53:04.get the moves down. If the energy in this room
:53:05. > :53:09.is anything to go by, Still to come, that group number
:53:10. > :53:14.they were all rehearsing for and I hear Claudia might
:53:15. > :53:17.even throw in a couple I meant Claudia, the Olympic
:53:18. > :53:38.gymnast, not you! It's time to pair our final
:53:39. > :53:44.four ladies. Let's meet Claudia Fragapane,
:53:45. > :53:47.Daisy Lowe, Lesley Joseph Hoping to tumble her way to the top,
:53:48. > :53:58.it's Olympian, Claudia Fragapane. I won four golds at
:53:59. > :54:04.the Commonwealth Games. This year, being at the Olympic
:54:05. > :54:09.Games was an honour, showing everyone all
:54:10. > :54:11.your incredible moves. When you land the last tumble and
:54:12. > :54:14.the crowd goes wild, it's amazing. With Strictly, I want
:54:15. > :54:16.to do exactly the same. I'm really looking forward
:54:17. > :54:19.to meeting my partner and want them to be
:54:20. > :54:21.really strict with me. On Strictly, we have
:54:22. > :54:27.to dance in heels. I'm going to go out
:54:28. > :54:42.there and smash it. International model Daisy Lowe
:54:43. > :54:44.is known for her That's not the only
:54:45. > :54:48.string to her bow. Then I designed
:54:49. > :54:52.a collection when I was 21. I'm not a chef, it was just one
:54:53. > :54:57.cook book that I did. I like to have lots of extra
:54:58. > :54:59.curricular creative projects I think I do have quite
:55:00. > :55:09.good natural rhythm. I'm most looking forward to finding
:55:10. > :55:18.out who my partner is, firstly, because that is again
:55:19. > :55:20.making me shake like a leaf. They will probably struggle
:55:21. > :55:22.with how much I talk. I'm so excited to be part of the
:55:23. > :55:25.Strictly family. I love all the sparkle
:55:26. > :55:27.and the costumes and the hair and make up and
:55:28. > :55:29.actually just doing it. Birds of a Feather actress,

:55:52. > :55:54.Dorian Green from Birds of a She loved her hunky, young men
:55:55. > :55:59.so Strictly should be a doddle I first did ballet
:56:00. > :56:05.when I was about five. I think it's true that I'll be
:56:06. > :56:11.the oldest female contestant to ever You know what, I think that
:56:12. > :56:17.should be inspirational. You know, if I can do
:56:18. > :56:20.it, anybody can do it. Millions tune in to see Tameka
:56:21. > :56:30.Empson play Kim Fox in EastEnders. Will she bring that trademark drama
:56:31. > :56:33.to the Strictly ballroom? People might say Kim
:56:34. > :56:45.and myself are very similar. Do me a favour.
:56:46. > :56:48.Do me a favour. I'm looking forward
:56:49. > :56:50.to meeting my lovely I don't mind them being a bit stern,
:56:51. > :56:57.a bit strong. The dance that I'm looking forward

:09:09. > :09:28.and our professional dancers Kevin and Karen, Neil and Katya
:09:29. > :09:31.Now it's time to meet our final three.
:09:32. > :09:34.It's Ore Oduba, Will Young and Ed Balls.
:09:35. > :09:47.Ore is used to the pressure of presenting live TV. But when it
:09:48. > :09:59.comes to Strictly, he's not quite so calm. OK. Ooohhh. Fair to say I'm
:10:00. > :10:04.petrified. Being a live TV presenter can have its moments and in Rio, I
:10:05. > :10:09.definitely felt a couple of those. Dodge the waves, that's the first
:10:10. > :10:14.thing. Oh, dear. That day, I learned about foot work. I'm massively
:10:15. > :10:18.excited to get partnered with one of the professionals here. My partner
:10:19. > :10:27.will have to have a large shoulder, because there could be a lot of
:10:28. > :10:34.crying on it. Massive cry baby here. Every time. Political heavyweight Ed
:10:35. > :10:39.Balls is used to the pressure of politics, but of perfect pirouettes,
:10:40. > :10:44.he's not so sure. The family's a bit worried about my dancing prowess.
:10:45. > :10:51.I'm coming in slightly below novice. So hoping for some improvement. I
:10:52. > :10:54.was a member of Parliament in the Shadow Chancellor from 2011 to 2015,
:10:55. > :10:59.until the general election, when I lost my seat. Every year, at the
:11:00. > :11:04.Labour Party Conference, my wife, Yvette and I have hit the dance
:11:05. > :11:09.floor. I'm afraid there's rather too many revealing pictures. After that,
:11:10. > :11:12.things can only get better. I'm used to having tough exchanges over the
:11:13. > :11:18.dispatch box in the House of Commons, but this is going to be
:11:19. > :11:22.much tougher. Singer song writer and actor Will Young can't wait to
:11:23. > :11:26.immerse himself into his new role on Strictly. I really enjoy playing
:11:27. > :11:39.loads of different characters in my videos. I played a Top Gun pilot.
:11:40. > :11:44.Been a superhero, a dog trainer, a collector. The judges are very
:11:45. > :11:49.constructive in their criticism. I love Len, essentially I want to
:11:50. > :11:52.become his friend. I love you. I am the person that is in his kitchen on
:11:53. > :11:56.a Tuesday night trying to do a rumba. I've done a bit of dance. I
:11:57. > :12:01.went to a musical theatre college for a term. I've never done any
:12:02. > :12:06.ballroom or Latin. As a Strictly fan, I watch it. I try and recreate
:12:07. > :12:12.it. It just depends if I can do the moves! We're left with three male
:12:13. > :12:18.celebrities and three female pros. It's time to pair them up. He can
:12:19. > :12:22.talk the talk, but can he walk the walk, it's sport presenter Ore.
:12:23. > :12:26.APPLAUSE He can walk the walk, look at that.
:12:27. > :12:31.Thank you very much. Hi darling. Good to see you. You know a lot
:12:32. > :12:34.about sports. Uh-huh. Do you know anything about dance, apart from the
:12:35. > :12:37.way you walked beautifully? I've been observing for the last few
:12:38. > :12:42.days, since we've been with the dancers, they just dance everywhere
:12:43. > :12:48.right. I am planning on - this is how I'll make my way to the toilet.
:12:49. > :12:51.Yeah, that. I like the way you move. It's working for me. What dance are
:12:52. > :12:57.you looking forward to in particular? I love the jive. I
:12:58. > :13:00.genuinely, well I did before I saw Jay and Aliona do it how it's
:13:01. > :13:03.supposed to be. It's the flicks and the kicks, amazing. You're going to
:13:04. > :13:14.be doing the kicks and flicks with... Are you ready for this? No.
:13:15. > :13:35.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE . I saw potential in those hips, did
:13:36. > :13:39.you? Yeah. I've got some lateral movement. It's just happening. Look
:13:40. > :13:49.at that. It's looking good, already. Off you go. It's Ore and Joanne!
:13:50. > :14:02.OK. Two men are done. Two women, Karen and Katya. He can do a party
:14:03. > :14:11.conference, but can he do a party dance - it's Ed Balls. Welcome. Good
:14:12. > :14:14.to be here. Great to see you. I've got to ask the question: Are you
:14:15. > :14:18.ready for four months of hard labour? Well...
:14:19. > :14:22.LAUGHTER I expect the next few weeks will be
:14:23. > :14:26.really, really hard, but then erm...... I do know what it's like
:14:27. > :14:30.to be on the wrong end of the public vote. Have you got any idea what
:14:31. > :14:35.you've let yourself in for? No. Oh, dear. Though a bit more over the
:14:36. > :14:39.last few days. We'll have to see how it goes. Well, you'll be facing the
:14:40. > :14:57.public vote with one of these lovely ladies. It is... It's Katya.
:14:58. > :15:04.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Do we approve? We do. We are good
:15:05. > :15:09.together, with eknow already. His name says it all. Ed glitter balls.
:15:10. > :15:14.We've got it. It could be an omen. Yeah, OK. We'll go with that. Looks
:15:15. > :15:16.like a good coalition. It is Ed and Katya! Off you go.
:15:17. > :15:29.APPLAUSE And finally, please welcome Will
:15:30. > :15:35.Young! APPLAUSE I'm going to put you on the spot
:15:36. > :15:41.now, any idea who you might be pardoned with? I think it's Bruno
:15:42. > :15:49.but I'm not sure. Let's bring together our final couple, it is
:15:50. > :16:01.Karen! APPLAUSE Goodness me! Release him! Can I say
:16:02. > :16:09.I'm so happy? Are you? You both look so happy. She's a bit clingy --
:16:10. > :16:15.she's a bit clingy but I think we can work on it. I think you'd better
:16:16. > :16:23.leave right now! I'll carry you up the stairs. Claudia, that is the
:16:24. > :16:29.full set. APPLAUSE
:16:30. > :16:34.Less scary once you get a partner, right? You're not all alone and you
:16:35. > :16:42.have got Karen! I let out this long breath. Ed, what do your children
:16:43. > :16:46.thing? Do they say, go, dad or stop it? They have not seen the glitter
:16:47. > :16:51.and our big finish and after that, it could be totally embarrassing. If
:16:52. > :16:55.you are watching, turn off, do something else, turnaround, daddy is
:16:56. > :16:59.about to do something really quite weird. Katya, welcome to the show
:17:00. > :17:05.and he is edible, just so you know... Not that kind of edible, but
:17:06. > :17:07.that's all right. You were absolutely terrified, shaking every
:17:08. > :17:12.time you heard a saxophone, you would fall on the floor. But now you
:17:13. > :17:19.have a partner, how is the Group Dance looking? Guys, we are going to
:17:20. > :17:23.smash this! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE You two are perfect. Ladies and
:17:24. > :17:31.gentlemen, big news, the class of 2016 is complete! CHEERING AND
:17:32. > :17:40.APPLAUSE All right, enough, enough! I think
:17:41. > :17:44.that is enough fun. Start limbering up, the moment is a mostly. Very
:17:45. > :17:48.shortly, our celebrities will take to the dance floor for their first
:17:49. > :17:52.Group Dance. Let the games begin! Test?
:17:53. > :17:59.Indeed, thanks. Let's see what the judges make of the pairings. It is
:18:00. > :18:02.so exciting because we have no idea how they are going to be but I just
:18:03. > :18:07.have a feeling that we are going to see some fantastic dancing and some
:18:08. > :18:13.great entertainment. I can't wait! Thank you, Len. Darcey, they have
:18:14. > :18:19.three weeks to get dance ready before returning to the studio to
:18:20. > :18:24.perform live. What can they expect? They are going to feel muscles they
:18:25. > :18:27.have never felt before, possibly! It is all about pacing themselves but
:18:28. > :18:33.as long as they have a lot of fun, I think, I bet they can't wait to get
:18:34. > :18:37.that first one picked off. Great, almost time for the Group Dance.
:18:38. > :18:42.What can you say to settle the nerves? Please be kind. The thing is
:18:43. > :18:46.to dance like no one is watching. You just have to enjoy it, is my
:18:47. > :18:51.point. I wish them all very well tonight. APPLAUSE
:18:52. > :18:53.Lets hope they do enjoy it. I know we will.
:18:54. > :18:57.We've been looking forward to it, our celebrities have been trying get
:18:58. > :19:00.But the contracts have been signed, the ink is dry,
:19:01. > :19:11.And this is the big one - can they shake a tail feather?
:19:12. > :19:13.After only two days of training, my guess is "maybe".
:19:14. > :19:17.Remember, when they rehearsed this, they genuinely had no idea
:19:18. > :19:22.Please welcome your official Class of Strictly 2016.
:19:23. > :22:12.They've met their partners, we've seen their potential and now
:22:13. > :22:15.the hard work really begins, as they head to the training room
:22:16. > :22:19.to prepare for the first live show in just three weeks' time!
:22:20. > :22:22.Yes, they have only three weeks to master their first routine before
:22:23. > :22:24.returning to perform in this very ballroom, live in
:22:25. > :22:28.If you can't wait that long - go to our website
:22:29. > :22:30.bbc.co.uk/strictly for fake tan updates and all the gossip
:22:31. > :22:37.Our first live shows are Friday the 23rd and Saturday the 24th
:22:38. > :23:09.I'm so happy I'm paired with Aljaz, this is what I'd always wanted. You
:23:10. > :23:14.don't like to say you'd really like but it was Kevin Sorrell I made up.
:23:15. > :23:20.I've got Gorka and I'm calling him a Caulker. Carol Kirkwood gave me lots
:23:21. > :23:26.of advice about this man, all good. The two newest ones. -- youngest
:23:27. > :23:30.ones. I've got my work cut out in a good way. She's got a lot to teach
:23:31. > :23:40.me but I'm for learning. I'm actually quite emotional. I love
:23:41. > :23:49.her. So excited. Get off me! Please try to do an Irish accent. Hopefully
:23:50. > :23:51.it gets better than that. I'm excited to start it all now.
