2016 Strictly Come Dancing finalists! | :04:33. | :05:17. | |
Live from the BBC, this is Strictly Come Dancing the Grand Final! | :05:18. | :05:30. | |
Hello and welcome to Strictly Come Dancing. | :05:31. | :05:58. | |
Thank you to our professional dancers and finalists for that | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
That's what you call arriving in style. | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
Back in September, the days were long, the sun was shining, | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
and 15 celebrities took their first tentative steps onto this floor. | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
And after four months of blood, sweat and spray tans, | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Tonight, one of them will be crowned Strictly Come Dancing Champion 2016! | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
But first, our three finalists must dance three times. | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
So strap yourselves in and get ready for a huge night of dance. | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
Also tonight, we have a performance from the amazing Emeli Sande. | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
Plus, we'll be reuniting the Class of 2016 for one final | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Casting an eye over the Grand Final are these wonderful four. | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
Tonight, they'll be scoring, but those scores | :06:57. | :07:27. | |
Your votes alone will decide which couple will be crowned this | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
year's Strictly winners at the end of the show. | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
Our finalists are backstage, focused, ready and raring to go. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
TV presenter and singer Louise Redknapp and her | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
BBC sports presenter Ore Oduba and his partner, Joanne Clifton. | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
Actor Danny Mac and his partner, Oti Mabuse. | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
Every one of them has topped the leaderboard. | :07:59. | :08:23. | |
Every one of them is dreaming of lifting | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
First, our couples will perform a dance chosen by the judges. | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
It's a routine they've done before that the judges | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
After they've all danced once, we'll open the vote, so you can | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
Their second dance is something that we've looked | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Our finalists will be pulling out all the stops to blow us away | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
And for their third and final dance, our couples will perform their very | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
And dancing first for your votes is Ore and his partner, Joanne. | :08:58. | :09:16. | |
The dance the judges have chosen for them to perform again is that | :09:17. | :09:27. | |
unforgettable American Smooth to 'Singin' In The Rain'. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
We know we'd love to see it again, let's find out why | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
It still feels so strange to say it, but we are in the final! | :09:34. | :09:50. | |
It was a fantastic dance! Last Saturday night, it will go down as | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
one of these best nights in my life. We are in the final! Look at you | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
two, Ore and Joanne, congratulations. You've been a | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
revelation. Your talent as a dancer is incredible. We have chosen for | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
you to repeat that amazing American smooth. | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
The foxtrot. Really? Are you kidding? I'm not kidding. I remember | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
it was Gene Kellie, fabulous! The first time you did it, it was only | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
weeks three and you got 35. All the dances that we have chosen, we think | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
you will have the potential to get ten across the board. My only advice | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
is to maintain your frame, this is the bit where you were slightly | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
leaning over Jo. Keep the lovely wide elbows and beautiful posture, | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
correct footwork. Only perfection is going to do if you are going to win | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
this competition. I really feel like we can smash this | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
one out of the park! Out lot is riding on this dance. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
Back then, we only come only, got 35. They gave constructive criticism | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
and we are working really hard to try to perfect their stance because | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
we've got to get this one and gone. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Dancing the American Smooth, Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton. | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
And what a dance! I think you are happy with that. | :11:28. | :13:35. | |
This four months has been the biggest honour, beyond both our | :13:36. | :13:47. | |
wildest dreams. This day has been incredible, I can't believe that | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
reception, thank you so much! It is amazing! Soak it up. | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
While you two take it all in, please welcome our superb live singers... | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
And, of course, Dave Arch and his brilliant orchestra! | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
You couldn't hear me Ore. I was screaming the whole way through it. | :14:05. | :14:23. | |
You are... No, I was. You are the boy that brings joy. You were | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
Singin' in the Rain but my thoughts were only of happiness. Honestly, I | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
thought it was such a greater number before. You have taken great to an | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
even greater place. It was brilliant. I love it! Bruno? Fasten | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
your seat belts, it will be a fantastic night. We are off on a | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
high. It was such a beautifully crafted tribute to Gene Kelly, but | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
what I liked about it was it was not an imitation, it was true to the | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
spirit of a great start but your personality and your talent really | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
shone through, your cheeky charm. You put so much of yourself into it, | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
and yet it was true to the brief and a great American Smooth foxtrot as | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
well. Spot-on. APPLAUSE | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
Did his frame make you happier that time around, Craig? | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
Yes, the frame was vastly improved this time. And also you were much | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
higher up on your toes, which I noticed, but I also noticed you did | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
not appoint your foot on some sections. It is the final. You have | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
style, you have substance, it was sophisticated, it was polished and, | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
you know what, I think you are a miracle. I really do. That is a | :15:53. | :16:01. | |
miracle, him giving you a compliment! | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
Darcey? Ore, Joanne, I wish I could play it on rewind. In week three I | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
said it took my breath away, you made me gasp again. It is heaven. | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
How you capture the style, the understanding you have on the dance | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
floor, it all came together and you have pulled it off again. Thank you. | :16:22. | :16:22. | |
CHEERING It is the final! | :16:23. | :16:51. | |
The whole gang is back to support you, huge congratulations. When you | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
first did the dance, Gene Kelly's widow Patricia got into urged to say | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
that she loved it, she is here this evening. It is an absolute honour | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
for us. And I believe you have dinner... | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Patricia, thank you for joining us, | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
it must have been wonderful for you guys to meet. It is hard to top this | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
experience, it has been an honour and privilege and I have made best | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
friends on this show, to have Patricia here and to do this | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
number... You describe it. 39. Each judge went up a mug, you | :17:27. | :18:00. | |
had to be happy? Amazing. -- each judge went up a mark. | :18:01. | :18:01. | |
Remember, those scores are for guidance only. | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
Tonight, your votes alone will decide the winners. | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
And if your winners are Ore and Joanne, all the details | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
are on your screen now, and the vote will open | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
after all three of our couples have danced once. | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
Terms and conditions coming up later. | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
But for now, if you are going to vote online, | :18:15. | :18:17. | |

If you are going to vote by phone, please do not call yet, | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
as the vote is not open, your vote won't count | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
Our next finalists to take to the floor are Louise | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
The judges have chosen her Cha-Cha to 'Flashdance' from Movie Week. | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
Ten weeks on, she's doing it again - and she's hoping the sequel will be | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
I just feel incredibly grateful to still be in the competition. Stunt | :18:52. | :19:07. | |
to have been saved by the public, because I was joint bottom in the | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Leader Board. In my head, I was very unsure of what would happen. To get | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
the opportunity to dance in the final, I can't believe it, I think I | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
am still in shock. Welcome, my darlings, I bet you are both dying | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
to know what we have chosen. It is from week three, the cha-cha-cha. | :19:26. | :19:34. | |
The cha-cha-cha! Outcomes the leotard! | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
That was not your highest mark but you won the cha-cha-cha Lynch, when | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
you dance that, we could see such an enormous improvement. This is what | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
we are after, you get movements when your hip action is to reflect. We | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
want to see that quality of hip action throughout the dance. -- your | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
hip action is to refix. You are both capable of maximum points on this. | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
If you pull this off you could be getting a ten from Len. You have | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
everything within you to deliver a scorching performance. Good luck, go | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
for it. I think the cha-cha is quite hard to | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
understand with accounts and the straight legs. It will be good to | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
get back out there and get the technique right. I don't know what I | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
am more scared of, the straight legs or the leotard. It can't be anything | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
less than perfect. Dancing the Cha-Cha-Cha, | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton. MUSIC: "Flashdance... | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
What A Feeling" What a feeling! What a feeling! Yes, | :20:45. | :22:18. | |
you are in the final. You asked for a scorching | :22:19. | :22:44. | |
performance. Oh, welcome back, Louise. Scorching | :22:45. | :23:02. | |
hot! And quite saucy tonight, all saucy on me. More saucy than ever. | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
The saucier the better. It was like a flashback into the 80s with a | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
feel-good factor. But apart from that, the cha-cha-cha it self, it | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
was actually extremely well-placed, precise to, clean, well executed. | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
Looking good, feeling great! It took me back to the 80s, darling, | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
too when I did this in a bit in my drag act. | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
I have to agree, the hip action has come on noticeably. Particularly in | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
the time sets as well. Technically, so much better. That has happened | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
largely due to your confidence, that has grown so much over the | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
programme. So well done. Darcey? We must remember this year | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
has been such a strong competition, and you are in the final, the only | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
lady. CHEERING | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
And you deserve it, Louise, you certainly do. You fall into that | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
style with such natural ease, it is a joy to watch because you never | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
overdo it. It is very subtle, you're hip action, how you glance through | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
your head back, the detail, the energy, it is all that and the | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
confidence is losing. Len? Firstly, I was very impressed | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
at the start. You are right there on your own, cha-cha is funny, you are | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
on the second beta, for a celebrity to pick out the second beta is a | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
tough job, but few went, right on time. Lots of celebrities and their | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
professional partners disguise stuff with a fringe and frilly skirts, you | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
were very exposed. And yet you're hip action was pressed, sharp, a | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
red-hot cha-cha from a red-hot Redknapp. | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
Well done. I love you, Len! I can't wait to see the red-hot Redknapp | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
showdown! It's their show dance next, | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
and we're all looking Your first dance of the final, they | :25:22. | :25:38. | |
are so right about confidence. I remember this, week three, you were | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
like, can I borrow a towel, it is mortifying, and in the final you are | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
like... Boom! Did you love it? Yes, I feel really grateful to be, | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
everybody has been so amazing this season, to still be standing here I | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
feel really lucky. I just wanted to make the most bit and do it us all. | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
If you want Louise and Kevin to win Strictly Come Dancing, all | :26:04. | :26:28. | |
So you can vote for them when the vote opens, | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
after all our couples have danced once. | :26:34. | :26:34. | |
Dancing next is Danny and his partner, Oti. | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
When he first performed this routine in Week Four, | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
the judges thought it was pure class - and he scored four nines. | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
Can he turn pure class into perfection and | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
The whole semifinal week was the hardest week. It is tough doing the | :26:56. | :27:13. | |
two dancers, you have so much going through your week. | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
You have worked nonstop for the past three months to get to the final. | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
And to get their means you have to fight one more time. But this time | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
against somebody that you absolutely love. | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
Both couples were worth tens, but the couple but had a small edge | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
was... Danny and Oti. I was so, so happy | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
but it broke my hoard -- hard to put Claudia out, genuinely. | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
Congratulations on getting through to the final. | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
Week four, your dance was the quickstep, and we would love to see | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
you dance it again. Yes! The reason we wanted to see | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
this again was that you scored 36, and I think you are capable of | :28:05. | :28:10. | |
maximum points. You had the style, you set the scene | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
so beautifully and the choreography, technically, incredibly difficult. | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
And you were delicious in underlying those wonderful subtleties. | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
Keep that going. And keep the feeling of Fred Astaire going. | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
I can't wait! Because it is the final, everything has to be better. | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
We had to be light on our feet. There will be a lot riding on this. | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
We definitely need to go out, think back to how fun it was and enjoy it. | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
Dancing the Quickstep, Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse. | :28:45. | :28:46. | |
Such showmanship! I saw your dress got caught up. These things happen. | :28:47. | :30:45. | |
The dance-off last week and the final this week. | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
Your first of three dances in the final. | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
I love that dance, I enjoyed it the first time and I did so much that | :30:51. | :30:57. | |
time. Whatever happens, I'm so happy to be here and it was so nice to do | :30:58. | :31:06. | |
that again. Craig, what did you think? Timing on | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
the first pendulum was a bit out. And the promenade section coming | :31:13. | :31:18. | |
down here, it just went. It was a shame because I was really hoping | :31:19. | :31:24. | |
and praying that it was going to be absolutely fantastic. But apart from | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
that, it was bright and lively and elegant and you are a first-class | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
tonne sub. And you make a wonderful partnership. Darcey. I loved this | :31:33. | :31:40. | |
stands when I first saw it and I still love it. It's a shame you made | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
that mistake but this is the competition. It is so hard on me get | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
this point. But my goodness, the speed, at your composure in your | :31:52. | :31:57. | |
upper body, it is the most beautiful choreography, Oti, thank you. | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Even with those tiny mistakes, as you said, | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
you are a superb dancer. Thank you. I do have two more | :32:08. | :32:15. | |
chances tonight. You are a superb dancers. And the | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
standard of dancing he produced throughout this competition has been | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
the catalyst to make everyone else dance better. You have set the bar, | :32:24. | :32:31. | |
your standard of dance is the one that everyone is aiming for. I'm so | :32:32. | :32:38. | |
disappointed, you did so many nice things. I moaned about too much | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
conducting, you cut out half of that. You did everything to possibly | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
please me. But it is live and it is here. There was a pretty big mistake | :32:49. | :32:56. | |
going on. But you are fantastic, Danny. You truly are! | :32:57. | :33:03. | |
These things happen. Bruno. Danny, let's forget about that, you have | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
another two dances, this is in the past. Focus on what you have. You | :33:09. | :33:14. | |
are one of the best show men we have ever seen. You deliver performances | :33:15. | :33:21. | |
at 110%, keep doing that. Your technique is spotless! You went | :33:22. | :33:27. | |
wrong, forget about it, come back and show us what you are made of | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
because you've got it! Yes! | :33:31. | :33:35. | |
Danny and Oti! We thought it was absolutely beautiful, can you talk | :33:36. | :33:59. | |
about the mistake? What happened? I don't know what went wrong, I | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
thought it was in my body, I will have to watch it back. Maybe forget | :34:04. | :34:07. | |
that and replay it on YouTube! That is an excellent idea. We made | :34:08. | :34:15. | |
this in March! You trying so hard, how difficult was it to put three | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
dancers in this week? It was tough because we worked on the Show Dance | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
first because that was the brand-new dance. Picking up the old ones was | :34:25. | :34:29. | |
fun and there are certain bits in your body you are so grateful of, | :34:30. | :34:32. | |
but that was a long time ago. I know, it was in February. | :34:33. | :34:35. | |

First up with their show dance are Ore and his partner, Joanne. | :37:42. | :37:54. | |
The show dance is an opportunity for our celebrities to showcase | :37:55. | :38:02. | |
everything they've learnt over the series. | :38:03. | :38:04. | |
Our second stands tonight is a Show Dance. Jo has choreographed routine | :38:05. | :38:33. | |
and it is big and it is bold. I want to show off every skill that he has | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
mastered throughout this series. There is Quickstep, there is some | :38:39. | :38:42. | |
jive and even Viennese waltz, I have pulled out all the stops. | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
This year, Claudia and I could not wait to see the Showdances so we | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
went to see how they were getting on. | :38:51. | :38:54. | |
Let's do the conga! Hello! What you want the public to | :38:55. | :38:59. | |
get out of watching your show dance? I would love to show them what we | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
have gone through. What are you most worried about during this routine? | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
Genuinely worried about falling from a height. | :39:08. | :39:13. | |
You dancing on a platform? Platforms. If we slip up, there is | :39:14. | :39:17. | |
no coming back! Get comfortable. We've got a show | :39:18. | :39:19. | |
dance! Fantastic! So good! You are so | :39:20. | :39:33. | |
brave, so many things could go wrong potentially! | :39:34. | :39:39. | |
Good luck! CU for the show dance! Pot that elbow down, what is that? | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
He throws everything at it, it matters so much to him. | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
I need a lie down. Delighted. They loved it. This is | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
the best showcase of what migratory and I bring together. With it being | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
the final, it you have to go big, but there is no room for a slip-up! | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
Dancing their Show dance, Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton. | :40:01. | :40:02. | |
What did you not put in there, it was superb! And you didn't fall, so | :40:03. | :42:34. | |
relieved! And the banister! The reaction in this room was just | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
incredible! And well deserved. Thank you! | :42:39. | :42:39. | |
Did that showcase how much he's grown as a dancer, Darcey? | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
Well, a round of applause. I have to say that was fun, that was fast and | :42:46. | :42:58. | |
classic. My cup of tea! When you got up and you were beating out that | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
rhythm on those drums, that was so difficult. And you were able to | :43:03. | :43:06. | |
glance at the camera, how you didn't miss one of those! It was close! It | :43:07. | :43:15. | |
was excellent. I loved the highlights from all the dances you | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
have done over the competition. They appeared in so many special spots | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
and they brought back great memories. You did that with such | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
class, I'm so impressed, well done! We all are! Is saw the one on the | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
left! Len. Who could ask for anything | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
more? CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Standing | :43:40. | :43:48. | |
ovation. From Len. From novice to this, Bruno. | :43:49. | :43:55. | |
Exceeding all expectations. A different class altogether. It was a | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
ballroom -based extravaganza mixing all the best of classic Hollywood, | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
the glitz and glamour and Broadway. I'm totally razzle-dazzle by it! | :44:06. | :44:13. | |
Craig? It was like an advanced aerobics step class, that. I am | :44:14. | :44:21. | |
blown away. I had to say, the cross-section of steps was just | :44:22. | :44:26. | |
brilliant. Hitch cakes, stabbing, the charleston, it was all in there | :44:27. | :44:34. | |
and it was brilliant. -- hedge kicks, stepping. Thank you, judges. | :44:35. | :44:36. | |
Ore and Joanne, well done. When we came to see the show dance we were | :44:37. | :45:08. | |
like, what? You're making him jump from tiny round things. You must | :45:09. | :45:14. | |
have been, Jo, let's not do that? You have to run with Jo Clifton, | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
there is nothing better at choreographed thing a ballroom show | :45:20. | :45:23. | |
dance. I have fallen in love with this girl, her creativity, her | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
dedication, her patients and just everything. I had to say, all the | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
information for all of finalists is on screen, please keep voting. It is | :45:33. | :45:40. | |
on there, we just put it up. I love your parents, there were shots of | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
them, they were crying. Your dad flew back early. They must just be | :45:45. | :45:51. | |
so incredibly proud. Your wife was sobbing. It has been amazing for | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
you? It has been the best gifts. My dad | :45:55. | :45:59. | |
wasn't going to come back from Nigeria before Christmas, it is | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
Christmas come early. This whole experience, I can't believe it. I | :46:04. | :46:10. | |
turned up in the show a stone yet back in August, she tells me | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
everyday, I have this suit on... You look like a supermodel. | :46:15. | :46:17. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. And 810 from Craig! Well done. Very well done. | :46:18. | :46:49. | |
Danny and Oti show-dance with a mirror. | :46:50. | :46:51. | |
I'm sure he'll have an excellent frame! | :46:52. | :46:54. | |
We have seen the first perfect score of the final. | :46:55. | :47:03. | |
Next up and hoping to win your votes is Louise and her partner, Kevin. | :47:04. | :47:06. | |
For their show dance, they'll be performing | :47:07. | :47:09. | |
to Whitney Houston's 'One Moment In Time'. | :47:10. | :47:10. | |
And if it helps Louise win the Glitterball Trophy. | :47:11. | :47:12. | |
it will be a moment in time she'll never forget. | :47:13. | :47:15. | |
Our show dance will be the story of Kiwis's journey on Strycova come | :47:16. | :47:28. | |
dancing. She has gone from being not very confident at the beginning to | :47:29. | :47:32. | |
losing all of their innovations, I want Louise to show that she can | :47:33. | :47:36. | |
dance that kind of abandoned. With the show dance there is a lot of | :47:37. | :47:39. | |
pressure, people want to see what you are really good at. There are no | :47:40. | :47:46. | |
rules, you can do whatever you like. As normal, Kevin does not come up | :47:47. | :47:51. | |
with an easy routine. We have lots of lifts, which we have not done of | :47:52. | :48:00. | |
in this series. It is full of danger. We are taking risks, I did | :48:01. | :48:03. | |
not want to pay its say. Kevin has given me so much, I would like on | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
Saturday for him to be really proud. We did not want to play it safe. | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
We are having a sneak preview. Hello! | :48:14. | :48:20. | |
What are you trying to get across in the show dance? We wanted to be | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
emotional, it is quite lyrical. Darcey loves this side of you. We | :48:26. | :48:32. | |
can't wait to see it. Let's see it. Beautiful! | :48:33. | :48:39. | |
This is nice! I love a good lift in a show dance. | :48:40. | :48:47. | |
How many finals, four so far? Will it be his first win? | :48:48. | :48:53. | |
No pressure, Louise! It is the final, I just had to go out and | :48:54. | :48:55. | |
smash it on Saturday night. Dancing their Show Dance, | :48:56. | :48:57. | |
Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton, Louise and Kevin! | :48:58. | :51:14. | |
So much riding on these dancers tonight. | :51:15. | :51:15. | |
What do you think, Len? One moment in time, Louise I am sure this is | :51:16. | :51:27. | |
one moment in time you will never forget, the night you danced in the | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
final of Strictly Come Dancing and performed with so much confidence, | :51:33. | :51:38. | |
so much style. Terrific lifts, dancing right on the edge. It was | :51:39. | :51:42. | |
knockout. Well done. Lots of risky lifts, | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
Bruno? The best lift was the one you gave | :51:48. | :51:55. | |
to my heart. Not just dancing, that is being with your heart. Every bit | :51:56. | :52:01. | |
of the way, so expressive, so touching, so moving. All your best | :52:02. | :52:08. | |
qualities right there on show. The fluidity, the joy of dance. That is | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
what it is all about. That is what it is all about, my darling. Great? | :52:14. | :52:23. | |
Google very expressive and emotive. I had a problem with the final bit, | :52:24. | :52:29. | |
because the new macro does not lower to the foot. You had to make sure | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
that the foot is out, not like a sickle. But what a routine. | :52:35. | :52:40. | |
Ballroom, classical, modern, contemporary, I absolutely loved it. | :52:41. | :52:50. | |
I really, really lived. -- loved it. Kevin showing off how lyrical and | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
fluid you are, how you show that through your body. It could have | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
been quite daring to certainly wear soft ballet shoes, suddenly to | :52:59. | :53:03. | |
change from wearing heels, but it made you more expressive, it's made | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
you feel the floor and how you moved across and how you were in the | :53:08. | :53:15. | |
beautiful arms of Kevin. It was touching and emotional. | :53:16. | :53:17. | |
Go and get ready for your Argentine Tango next. | :53:18. | :53:20. | |
The information for all three couples is on your screen right now. | :53:21. | :53:34. | |
You made Bruno cry! Bless him. It was very touching, and your face | :53:35. | :53:42. | |
when you did that running, I am sure it is not called running...! You | :53:43. | :53:48. | |
look so happy, so full of joy. I am really happy to be here. So relieved | :53:49. | :53:55. | |
to get him into the final? I was so petrified we would not. | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
I love your husband Jamie, who was like, please don't Barry is me, then | :54:00. | :54:06. | |
he was on It Takes To this week, sobbing. -- please don't embarrass | :54:07. | :54:08. | |
me. Everybody is loving it. Plus the cast of 2016 take to the | :54:09. | :54:46. | |
floor for one final time. Get ready for gymnastics, facial choreography | :54:47. | :54:47. | |
and a spot of Gangnam Style. Dancing next, in a bid to be | :54:48. | :54:57. | |
crowned your champion, Danny and his partner, | :54:58. | :54:59. | |
Oti. Over the series, Danny has topped | :55:00. | :55:00. | |
the leaderboard more than any other finalist, | :55:01. | :55:03. | |
scoring two perfect 40s on the way. So expectations are high for | :55:04. | :55:06. | |
a spectacular show dance tonight. Our second dance of the night will | :55:07. | :55:21. | |
be the show dance. Anything goes, no rules, we will push the limits, | :55:22. | :55:27. | |
because that is what O2 does. The show dance is a combination between | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
Argentine tango, paso and contemporary dance. It has every | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
right to be the most incredible dance of the night. I just really, | :55:38. | :55:42. | |
really hope I can get there and bring that for her. | :55:43. | :55:47. | |
We are about to go and see Danny and Oti's showdowns. | :55:48. | :55:53. | |
How are you, guys? Tess and Claudia came to visit us, which was | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
brilliant. It was so lovely to see them out of the studio. It starts | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
off with him being shy and not able to find himself on the show until | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
the end, when he is the man that he is today. It is really intense, | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
really fiery. Fire rears good. Would you mind if we watched? I don't | :56:14. | :56:18. | |
mind. It is nerve wracking having them in, the training room is such a | :56:19. | :56:25. | |
safe environment, but you could not have two more positive people in the | :56:26. | :56:32. | |
room, at the same time. Don't drop! They are so in sync. | :56:33. | :56:36. | |
Nice! It feels like set a day night is just around the corner. Dramatic | :56:37. | :56:42. | |
but heartfelt, it showcased everything you do so well. The | :56:43. | :56:48. | |
expectation is so high, I don't want to let Oti down. It has to be | :56:49. | :56:50. | |
perfect. Dancing their Show Dance, | :56:51. | :56:50. | |
Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse. The Mac is back! | :56:51. | :56:53. | |
CHEERING The Mac is back! | :56:54. | :59:29. | |
You said you wanted The Mac is back! | :59:30. | :59:41. | |
firework of passion! The intensity, Everything you do has a meaning. | :59:42. | :59:53. | |
Everything makes sense. It is perfectly fitted to | :59:54. | :00:17. | |
Everything makes sense. It is what did you think, Craig? | :00:18. | :00:17. | |
Two words, totally brilliant! CHEERING AND | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
Two words, totally brilliant! like a stand-off between you, a | :00:25. | :00:25. | |
great mix of like a stand-off between you, a | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
was clean, the timing. But fabulously wild at | :00:36. | :00:57. | |
well done. We enjoyed the magic. | :00:58. | :00:58. | |
The vote is still open, and the information for all three | :00:59. | :01:09. | |
You can keep voting until the vote closes later in the show. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. They are screaming for you up here! | :01:14. | :01:24. | |
Your fiance, she didn't breed throughout. She is sitting with your | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
mother and your grandma who were like that... Oti, that choreography, | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
did you go, we will be banking a mirror? I will jump through it, it | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
is quite intense. Is that what you wanted? All of that, I wanted the | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
fire and the drama that he has inside him. Not a what people see | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
that in the series. Yes, he is so smiley. He is so passionate and | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
intense anti-enjoys being here and I love working with him. Well done. | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
Ten! Yes! Congratulations, well done. I tell you what, thank | :02:00. | :02:33. | |
goodness, otherwise these guys would have gone down and they would have | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
hurt the judges! Very well done. Each of our couples have | :02:36. | :02:36. | |
performed two routines, and they all have one to go - | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
their favourite of the series. Before that, let's have a look | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
at the leaderboard. At the top, Ore and Joanne, with a | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
joint score of 79 and joint second, Louise and Kevin and Danny and Oti, | :02:53. | :02:56. | |

Remember, our couples still have one more dance to perform, | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
To help you decide, here's a reminder of their | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
first two performances, and the all-important | :03:31. | :03:31. | |
More dancing still to come, when each of our couples | :03:32. | :05:23. | |
perform their favourite routine from the past 13 weeks. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
Every one of them has their eye on the Glitterball Trophy tonight, | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
and here is why it would mean so much to win. | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
I have loved every single second of this entire Strictly adventure. My | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
life has changed because of the show. When I look back, I can't | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
believe what we had been through to get here. | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
Being in Strictly, I think I have learned is to be more fearless. I | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
used to sit at home and think, I don't know how anybody has got the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
nerve to go out and do that live on a Saturday night. To dance in front | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
of millions of people on the TV is something so exhilarating! | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
You go through so many different emotions while you are doing | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
Strictly. Physically, mentally, emotionally, you invest everything | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
in the show. All of that effort has finally paid off and we are here, in | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
with a shout of lifting the Glitterball Trophy. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
I would love to win Strictly because I think he deserves to win it more | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
than anybody! It would be the best way of thanking the best dance | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
partner I could ask for for everything she has given me. The | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
lift that Glitterball with Oti would just mean the world to me. If I got | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
to win the Glitterball Trophy, it would have pride of place on the | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Christmas dinner table! I definitely think that is something you would | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
want to tell the grandchildren about. It would be the greatest | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
achievement of my life. It would be something I'm proud of for ever. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
It would mean so much to all three of our finalists. | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
And they have just one last chance to win your votes. | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
First to perform their favourite routine of the series | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
is Ore and his partner, Joanne. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
This Jive scored them 39 out of 40 first time | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
Can they improve on that score and possibly run | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
I knew I was going to enjoy this, but I could not have imagined I | :07:20. | :07:36. | |
would enjoy it as much as I have. This series of Strictly for me has | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
been absolutely incredible. I didn't know that I could achieve the things | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
that I have done. I watched some of our performances back and you almost | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
think, who is that guy? Seeing his progress from a non-dancer to this | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
moment is unbelievable for me. Movies week was when my Strictly | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
dream really came to life. When we dance it, you could feel there was | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
magic. I'm astounded how good that was! | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Need in the rain was when the dream was realised, Jive was when it was | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
blown out of the water. He just went out there and he absolutely smashed | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
it, which I'm very proud about. A star is born! Is to get the three | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
tenors, cue the a gain! -- tens. It is not nice being in the | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
dance-off, it is devastating. This thing that you now love could be | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
gone. Just like that. But you have to go through the lows to appreciate | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Baha'is. Having this experience with Joel on my side has made it even | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
more special -- to appreciate Baha'is. I had no idea that I would | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
make one of the best friends I have in the world. Ore is one of the | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
kindest and sweetest people I have ever met in my entire life. I have | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
found an absolute best friend forever will stop it has just been | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
incredible. He has been wonderful. You could not | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
do this without the support of the people closest to you. If it was not | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
for my wife, I would not have been able to do this. | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Ore makes me so proud because he works so hard, he really amazes me | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
every single week. I'm the proudest wife. You are amazing and I love you | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
so, so much. I'm so glad that we get to do this | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
Jive a gain. We know what it takes to get 39 so we are going to put | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
everything into getting that extra mark. It is our last dance together. | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
We have had moments to savour but I really want this to be one we never, | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
ever forget. Come here! | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
Learning to dance is a real adventure and I have loved every | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Dancing their Jive, in a bid to be your Strictly | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
Come Dancing Champions, Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton. | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
I know that's your favourite, but I think a few other | :10:16. | :12:26. | |
Your stamina is unreal, did you enjoyed it, Craig? I can't bear it, | :12:27. | :12:41. | |
you are so good! I have nothing to complain about, I hate that! | :12:42. | :12:49. | |
Absolutely virtuosic! My favourite Craig comment ever! | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
Darcey. I was impressed in week four and even more impressed. How do you | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
keep that cool? The repetition, the stamina. The sharpness and the | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
cleanness of those kicks and flicks. You know how to perfect, you know | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
how to work and that is a true dancer. | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Has he done enough? Well, it is people like you that give me the | :13:14. | :13:29. | |
most pleasure on Strictly. People with no dance background at all. And | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
gradually, as the weeks go by, you grow to love dancing and we grow to | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
love watching Hugh. Ore, you are in the spirit of Strictly. What a | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
lovely thing to say. Bruno. I'm so glad I was right the first time | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
around. Your star is shining brighter than ever! That was sheer | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
perfection! Sheer perfection, he is the spirit | :14:02. | :14:13. | |
of Strictly. They are stamping their feet in appreciation in the studio | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
audience. Goodness me! I think they liked it. That is your last dance | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
together tonight. They've done all they | :14:23. | :14:23. | |
can, but have you? The information for all three | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
finalists is on the screen now, CHEERING | :14:33. | :14:48. | |
Well done. Very, very well done. That is | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
your... I don't want to say it because I don't want to make you | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
cry, that is the last time you will dance together. | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
I know you wanted to give it absolutely everything. When I met | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
you in Roehampton and it was August, September and you were like, I will | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
last two weeks maximum, EU are in the final. Can I just say thank you | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
for working so hard? You are speechless. I don't know how you are | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
going back to the football, but we will see. Good luck with that. There | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
is a swimming gala in Hull next week, good luck with that! | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
CHEERING That is 40. | :15:29. | :15:55. | |
Very, very well done. Tameka almost just exploded. Are you happy? This | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
girl is everything. Thank you. Danny loses his shirt | :16:00. | :16:00. | |
in the rainforest. If you're playing cards | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
against the animals, don't. The next couple with their last | :16:04. | :16:05. | |
chance to impress you tonight is Louise and her partner, | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
Kevin. Their favourite dance is the | :16:14. | :16:14. | |
Argentine Tango, from Week Seven. It's a dance that's packed | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
with drama, tension and emotion. And it's perfect for tonight, | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
as this could be the routine that I'm kind of shocked, excited, | :16:24. | :16:42. | |
amazed. In a million years I never thought I'd be here until the very | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
end of Strictly. It's been absolutely incredible. | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
I've had the most amazing series. I've learnt some incredible dancers. | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
Who gets to learn the Argentine tango and the Viennese waltz? These | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
are not just things that you get the opportunity to learn. | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
I think my breakthrough moment, I had a week where Len said I had | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
plateaued. Something had to happen to give you the extra boost. | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
I thought, I can carry on doing what I am doing or really try to up my | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
game. The Argentine tango was the first | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
time I got ten. I really and truly loved it. | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
It was such a great dance. I was proud as punch. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
There is something extra special about watching her just living every | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
dance. The paso at Blackpool was my most memorable dance. When I watch | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
it I am shocked that I did that, because I know what I am like, I am | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
not that fears. I was blown away tonight with that. | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
Fantastic. Good god I truly do not think I would still be in this | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
competition without Kevin as apartment. He has been brilliant and | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
we laugh from the moment we come into training until we go home. | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
I feel like I have found a really good friend. Her confidence, I know | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
she was battling at the beginning and she keeps saying she does not | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
want to let me down. There is nothing but she can do that | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
would let me down. It is an experience that you have | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
together that I think only if you're in it you can really appreciate what | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
it is about. I am going to cry. So proud of her, so to see her grow | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
and do better and better has been lovely to see, it takes your breath | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
away. Bring back the Glitterball Trophy, | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
we love you. Don't forget, keep dancing! | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
I just had to go at the Argentine tango again with more gusto. | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
I think that it is not like this is our last week training. I am really | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
going to miss you. It's going to be really strange. | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
What I have learned through this experience, don't have any regrets, | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
give it everything you have in life. I will definitely walk away with a | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
heart full of pride, without a shadow of the doubt. | :19:15. | :19:15. | |
It has been incredible. VO: Dancing their Argentine Tango, | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
in a bid to be your Strictly Come Dancing Champions, | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton. Oh, they are on their feet in the | :19:23. | :21:25. | |
studio. Lovely, Louise. I love it when you do drama. | :21:26. | :21:26. | |
We thought it was good the first time | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
Darcey, what did you think the second time | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
One special Argentine tango. The intensity you brought again, the | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
power, the control, the balance and every recovery from every lunch and | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
lift was perfect. You are one beautiful lady of the night. | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
Stunning. Len? Throughout the series, you have | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
been, and I have to do this, forgive me, my most consistent dancer. You | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
have never had a... Seven! It has been eight and above the whole time. | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
Watching that dance shows why, you truly deserve to be in this final. | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
APPLAUSE Would they be worthy winners, Bruno? | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
What do you expect after this Argentine sparkler? I'm telling you, | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
sultry, sensuous, quality of movement astonishing. But what you | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
have that really thrills me is the way that you approach the musical | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
phrasing in the dance. Nothing is ever even, you managed to stretch a | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
phrase right to the last moment until you go to the next faster bit, | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
hold back, go into it with a musicality that is absolutely | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
gorgeous. APPLAUSE | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
Craig? I'm so pleased that the audience at | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
home are deciding, because that was superlative, darling. | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
That's what the judges think, but it's up to the viewers | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
Who do you want to lift the Glitterball Trophy? | :23:04. | :23:10. | |
All the information you need to vote is on screen now. | :23:11. | :23:23. | |
That was phenomenal. It was your favourite dance, what has been your | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
favourite thing about Strictly? For me, the whole experience has just | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
been... It's been really incredible, I wasn't expecting to love that the | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
way have. I've met some amazing people, danced with a great guy | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
every day who has taught me so much, just being part of it has been | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
incredible. We love that dance. Well done. The | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
scores are written. -- in. Look at your face. Well done, Kevin | :23:49. | :24:09. | |
and Louise. It'll be like a school | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
reunion, but fun. And now with their final | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
throw of the dice, it's Danny and his partner, | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
Oti. Their favourite | :24:25. | :24:26. | |
routine is the Samba. It's the only Samba in Strictly | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
history that's ever This is Danny and Oti's last chance | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
to prove they deserve to be Strictly has easily been the best | :24:35. | :24:55. | |
experience of my life, without a shadow of a doubt. That performance | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
on a Saturday night is the best feeling, there is nothing else I | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
have done that even compares. We are so lucky to have this opportunity. | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
This show has been going so well. It is a different challenge each week | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
but I seem to be overcoming it, up until that foxtrot. There is a | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
stumble and my body did not know what it would do next. Thankfully, I | :25:17. | :25:27. | |
had the most incredible person drag me to the next point of my memory | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
and we managed to pick it up. This entire experience is nothing | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
without Oti. She has been the most amazing teacher. And not just about | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
how to dance. About myself as well. You got this. I've had literally the | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
best partner anybody could ever ask for. | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
The charleston at Blackpool was pretty special. Fantastic. | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
Unbelievable. Fabulous. It was incredible to get that first 40 when | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
all of the judges agreed. My family and friends are the | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
greatest people in the world. He is genuinely the nicest guy you will | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
ever, ever meet. Every week you seems to grow in confidence. You are | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
almost there, I hope you can win. Smash it and bring that little home. | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
I could not be proud of. To have them behind you the whole way means | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
so much. My beautiful, gorgeous fiancee has | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
been there for me when I have not necessarily been there for her. | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
She has made this possible, they all have, and I could never, ever have | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
done it without them. He has just made me the happiest | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
person, so thank you for that, Danny Mac. | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
We get to dance favourite dance, which is going to be... | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
The samba! We chose the samba because it was the highlight of the | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
series for us. It was the first time I went out and I was myself on the | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
dance floor, having the time of my life. | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
This has been the best experience ever, and if it is going to end, it | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
should end with a bang. This dance has to be exactly what it | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
was the first time, fun, full of energy and represent everything we | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
have been through. We are at team. Yes, we are. Let's go out and do | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
that one last time. Yes. VO: Dancing their Samba, | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
in a bid to be your Strictly Come Dancing Champions, | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse. You brought the house down! Danny | :27:31. | :29:56. | |
Mac and Oti! Oh, my goodness me! That was heart! Goodness me! I think | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
people wanted to join in with you, myself included! | :30:03. | :30:02. | |
The make-up lady came up to my room and she decided not to put any on. | :30:03. | :30:20. | |
She said, you can't improve on perfection! It was perfect last time | :30:21. | :30:25. | |
and if anything, it had a little more control and it was even more | :30:26. | :30:31. | |
perfect this time round. Bruno. I feel restless, like a caged | :30:32. | :30:41. | |
animal! I tell you, you were two magnificent animals. Sex on legs! | :30:42. | :30:47. | |
Another one for the history books. It will never be forgotten, I | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
guarantee you. I think you are right, Bruno! | :30:52. | :30:57. | |
Steady on! Craig. One word, three syllables, beginning with... | :30:58. | :31:08. | |
Fabulous! Darcey. I have to say anything, but | :31:09. | :31:16. | |
the articulation of those body isolations and your very very | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
abandonment, my gosh! A winning combination! And Unforgettable | :31:21. | :31:25. | |
samba. Yes! One for the history books. Oti | :31:26. | :31:34. | |

Both! I don't like crying on TV! Talk to Ore. Sorry, sorry. Everyone. | :32:28. | :32:35. | |
It was so fantastic. You must have adored that dance. I absolutely | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
loved it first time and I just wanted to go out and have the best | :32:40. | :32:44. | |

thoroughly enjoyed it - and many of you wanted to | :37:09. | :37:10. | |
share with us why you've loved watching Strictly | :37:11. | :37:12. | |
Strictly this year was amazing. It gets better and better each time. | :37:13. | :37:32. | |
The costumes and the make-up. The music absolutely just fills the | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
place! Saturday night is fantastic and it would not be the same without | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
Strictly. The dancing has been amazing this year. I love the paso | :37:41. | :37:45. | |
doble Louise in Blackpool. She is really good, I was so impressed. My | :37:46. | :37:50. | |
favourite dance of the series was Aljaz and Daisy and 33 macro. I | :37:51. | :38:00. | |
loved Naga. And I loved Laura. She is so good. We loved Tameka and if | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
she had stayed, she would find her feet. I loved Claudia. The attention | :38:06. | :38:09. | |
to detail and the way she perfected them in one week was superb. | :38:10. | :38:15. | |
Remember when she did the Argentine tango? Your balance and control, I | :38:16. | :38:20. | |
was totally taken away. I love Darcey. She always sees the | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
positive. The like this in your feet was not what I was expecting. The | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
Quickstep. She did that charleston and the high kick. Anton du Beke, | :38:30. | :38:37. | |
you would want him to be your partner, very charming. The | :38:38. | :38:40. | |
professional dancers had been amazing this year. I love a bit of | :38:41. | :38:46. | |
Brendan! Remember when he was ill? You look different. He came to the | :38:47. | :38:51. | |
rescue and was the knight in shining armour for Anastascia. The dancers | :38:52. | :38:59. | |
have been amazing. I like AJ. Katya was brilliant. She choreographed to | :39:00. | :39:04. | |
bring the best out of him. I like Oksana. Judge Rinder is phenomenal. | :39:05. | :39:09. | |
He has been a big surprise. This remind you of anybody? Greg was | :39:10. | :39:15. | |
brilliant, he did it for the gingers! You lost a bit of dignity | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
when you did that bottom grind. I was made up! I have only got a four! | :39:20. | :39:28. | |
Craig this year has been nicer than any other year. Fantastic! | :39:29. | :39:33. | |
Brilliant! Incredible! What has happened to Craig? Fabulous! The | :39:34. | :39:39. | |
talent has been amazing. The men have stolen the show. Danny Mac was | :39:40. | :39:46. | |
brilliant. Oti is a brilliant choreography. I'm hyperventilating! | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
Bruno never fails to make me laugh. He is very one point. What are you | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
doing to me? My favourite bit was the Bollywood dancing. It was fun! | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
We should do that! Do you remember Melvin? Why did he have two weeks so | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
soon shaking like that? That is a winning move. Ore normally sit | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
there, did you think he had that in him? He is fantastic, and knew he | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
would be brilliant. I have never seen a celebrity cry so much in this | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
series! I thought he had something in his eyes. I loved Tameka! She is | :40:20. | :40:27. | |
also crying. Claudia and Tess, Strictly all over. The dancing has | :40:28. | :40:31. | |
been out of this world. It really has. In terms of my own enjoyment of | :40:32. | :40:39. | |
it, I would also say two words, Ed Balls. Somebody stop me! Ed Balls | :40:40. | :40:45. | |
may does want to go and learn how to dance. Ed Balls, you are more like | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
Lottery balls! You never know what will happen next. Gangnam. You would | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
never think that was Ed Balls a politician. I don't know how he will | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
get back to politics after that. 100%, you are the people's champion! | :41:01. | :41:07. | |
Who will they were yet to replace Len? Len, we are really going to | :41:08. | :41:12. | |
miss you! Goodman, Goodman, great man! Well done! Se-ven!! Come on! | :41:13. | :41:21. | |
The best we ever! The entire production has been pretty | :41:22. | :41:23. | |
fantastic. I don't know how I will thought my Saturday nights! | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
Keep dancing! Thank you for spreading | :41:27. | :41:29. | |

the winners very shortly. While the vote is counted | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
and independently verified let's focus | :45:37. | :45:38. | |
on one particular man. He's been here since the very | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
beginning, heading up the judging panel, | :45:43. | :45:44. | |
casting an eye over the routines and quietly | :45:45. | :45:46. | |
pickling his walnuts. He calls himself a cup of tea | :45:47. | :45:49. | |
in a world of skinny We, are of course, | :45:50. | :45:52. | |
talking about Len Goodman. The one and only. | :45:53. | :46:10. | |
When you consider how long Len and I have been judging, it is quite | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
unbelievable we're here now, so many series later. How do you describe | :46:16. | :46:23. | |
Len Goodman? The perfect gentleman. Let is brilliant, clever, kind. | :46:24. | :46:28. | |
Really good fun. Bites at the screen. The perfect gent. He | :46:29. | :46:35. | |
commands authority. Has an aura about him. Very, very down-to-earth, | :46:36. | :46:41. | |
no-nonsense. That is what I like about him. | :46:42. | :46:51. | |
He has the passion for the knowledge but here's a great entertainer as | :46:52. | :46:52. | |
well. He brings joy to people. They were | :46:53. | :46:55. | |
fantastic. That is why people love him. | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
You want all the judges to like you, but you want Len to love you. He is | :47:01. | :47:05. | |
the man you want to impress. He is the person you look to for the big | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
moments. Fantastic choreography. Getting a | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
ten from Len feel so special. To get a ten from Len is what it is all | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
about. He actually gave me a standing | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
ovation, that was one of the best feelings. | :47:25. | :47:27. | |
If you know you're not going to get a ten, you would really like a | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
seven. I love him. He has the best | :47:33. | :47:38. | |
one-liners. I'm going to pickle my walnuts. Winner, winner, chicken | :47:39. | :47:47. | |
dinner! A go! Such a character. A gem of a performance. | :47:48. | :47:55. | |
He is a ballroom genius. I think Len sums up Strictly Come Dancing. For | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
me, he will be sorely missed. It has been amazing and I have made | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
not only a fantastic colleague but a very, very good friend. You are | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
extraordinarily and I will miss you. From the bottom of our hearts, we | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
love you. You will always be a part of this | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
family, we will miss you every week. Thank you for the lattice, thank you | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
for the memories. I love you, we will miss you. | :48:23. | :48:28. | |
I am going to miss our giggles, but fingers crossed I get to dance with | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
you on that dance floor again. CHEERING | :48:33. | :48:44. | |
They won't stop, I don't blame them. CHEERING | :48:45. | :49:04. | |
Len, thank you so much. We'll miss you terribly, what will | :49:05. | :49:05. | |
you miss most about Strictly? I will miss everything about the | :49:06. | :49:17. | |
show. I promise you. I will miss just turning up and the anticipation | :49:18. | :49:22. | |
of what is going to occur. I will miss what I consider the three best | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
judges on television on any of these type of shows. Being close to the | :49:29. | :49:34. | |
band and listening to the fabulous singers. I will miss you. I think | :49:35. | :49:38. | |
the whole thing, it is like a big machine with cogs. And every cog has | :49:39. | :49:44. | |
to work to make the whole thing happen. You know, we will miss you, | :49:45. | :49:51. | |
Len, you would miss any of the cogs, that is what makes Strictly into | :49:52. | :49:56. | |
Strictly. I will miss it all. Thank you so much, Len. | :49:57. | :49:58. | |
You've given us so many unforgettable moments | :49:59. | :50:00. | |
over the past 14 series, but what's your stand-out moment? | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
With a classic ballroom routine for our classic ballroom boy - | :50:05. | :50:10. | |
Len, this is just for you - please welcome our | :50:11. | :50:12. | |

professional dancers. They'll be back on the floor very | :52:14. | :52:49. | |
soon for a massive group number That was so beautiful. Wasn't it? | :52:50. | :53:08. | |
Thank you, Len. APPLAUSE | :53:09. | :53:22. | |
CHEERING You are a gentleman. | :53:23. | :53:24. | |
We met them back back in September, when the pros returned | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
from Planet Strictly and were paired up with their brand new partners. | :53:28. | :53:29. | |
And I think they all agree their time on the show has | :53:30. | :53:32. | |
It is quite nice to be back. Like coming home. That first day standing | :53:33. | :53:48. | |
behind the rocket, waiting to be revealed. I was so nervous. Just | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
before it took off I turned to Lesley and said, is it too late to | :53:54. | :53:58. | |
promote? And then the rocket went up. | :53:59. | :54:01. | |
It just felt like a dream, is this really happening? Are we really | :54:02. | :54:04. | |
doing this? People were cheering us, we had to | :54:05. | :54:10. | |
do a catwalk procession. You had press,. | :54:11. | :54:18. | |
That is what it felt like, you were actually on the show. It was the | :54:19. | :54:21. | |
most magical, sparkling experience of my life. Such an incredible buzz, | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
the anticipation, who would you be partnered with? | :54:26. | :54:31. | |
I thought, who will play Pammy with? Oksana! I had an intuitive sense | :54:32. | :54:40. | |
that we would hit it off. AJ! Being paired with Janette was the best | :54:41. | :54:45. | |
thing about the show for me. When I got Anton I leapt in the air and | :54:46. | :54:53. | |
landed, luckily, he caught me. Started dancing! I really loved the | :54:54. | :54:58. | |
training. You became enthralled in wanting to learn these dancers. | :54:59. | :55:03. | |
Trying to retrain your feet. My body did not know what had hit it. Sweat | :55:04. | :55:10. | |
in my eyes. Ridiculous. I learned very early that dancing was as much | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
about what you don't move as what you do. There is so much more to | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
dancing when you realise. I was terrified on the first live | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
show, I did not know what to expect, the lights and the audience, a bit | :55:25. | :55:32. | |
daunting. Breathe deeply and concentrate. This is it. Showtime! | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
It was the most crazy, extraordinary and deliciously frightening | :55:38. | :55:41. | |
experience I could ever remember. I will enjoy every single moment. A | :55:42. | :55:48. | |
brilliant, brilliant sensation. One I will remember forever. Those 90 | :55:49. | :55:53. | |
seconds of dancing, no one can ever take away from you. I was really | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
quite scared of going in front of the judges, I remember the fear. | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
Once you have rehearsed for a whole week you do not want to hear | :56:03. | :56:05. | |
anything negative. That is a site I don't think I ever | :56:06. | :56:10. | |
wish to see again. Craik was tough but there was always | :56:11. | :56:14. | |
a twinkle in his eye. Bruno makes you feel so at ease. You would bring | :56:15. | :56:23. | |
the dead back to life! Eagle-eyed Len knows everything, the ballroom | :56:24. | :56:27. | |
expert. At the end of the waltz, Darcey said, get into character and | :56:28. | :56:32. | |
performed the dance. Two weeks later I had a green face. Theme weeks are | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
what makes Strictly Come Dancing. Movie Week was great fun, I was a | :56:39. | :56:45. | |
spy. Halloween week was amazing. The costumes, colour and atmosphere were | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
extraordinary. Plus I got to come down on a wire, it is the most fun I | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
have pretty much ever had. Strictly is a roller-coaster, highs and lows. | :56:55. | :57:05. | |
Probably the most difficult thing on the show is dancing off against | :57:06. | :57:07. | |
someone you have loved seeing grow. I don't think anybody can prepare | :57:08. | :57:09. | |
for the red light. The dance-off is so hard, you want | :57:10. | :57:14. | |
to do as well as you can stay in this incredible competition. | :57:15. | :57:17. | |
I always knew our time would run out, I could never match the quality | :57:18. | :57:22. | |
of the guys in the final. I never knew how much doing Strictly | :57:23. | :57:28. | |
was going to end in meaning to me. Never did I expect to love dance, | :57:29. | :57:32. | |
that has been, for me, the most incredible change. | :57:33. | :57:38. | |
You can't beat that. My Strictly experience was everything and more | :57:39. | :57:41. | |
than I thought it would be. An experience like no other. I'm so | :57:42. | :57:47. | |
pleased I took part, it has made me more confident as a person. | :57:48. | :57:52. | |
Strictly has reminded me that however difficult something maybe, | :57:53. | :57:55. | |
if you invest all your passion you can succeed in anything. It has been | :57:56. | :58:03. | |
an amazing reminder. It has been very joyous, something I | :58:04. | :58:07. | |
am grateful to have been part of. I learned to dance, I laughed, I | :58:08. | :58:11. | |
loved it and would not have missed it for the world. Exciting. Sparkly. | :58:12. | :58:20. | |
Exhilarating. Incredible. Just incredible. | :58:21. | :58:23. | |
Three months ago, we confused 15 celebrities with talk of kicks, | :58:24. | :58:25. | |
They listened, they learned, and now they're back. | :58:26. | :58:31. | |
Please welcome, for one final time... | :58:32. | :58:32. | |
We'll announce your winner in just a few moments' time. | :58:33. | :02:14. | |
And while this series will soon come to an end, | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
we do have something very special for you on Christmas Day. | :02:18. | :02:27. | |
Hello and welcome to Strictly Come Dancing. The Christmas Special. | :02:28. | :02:40. | |
Merry Christmas! It promises to be a blockbuster of a | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
show! Bring on the pigs in blankets! I have got to say you got my bed | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
balls bouncing! Gorka, I'm here! Please welcome Matt | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
Goss! Amazing. Yes! | :03:00. | :03:09. | |
Don't miss that on Christmas Day at 6:45pm. | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Ed Balls, you even capable? When you | :03:15. | :03:28. | |
walk down the street, do people shout, just do Gangnam. They do it | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
in the playground, the station, it is wonderful. The show is made by | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
the people at home and vote and join in and they love it and we love it | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
enjoying it so much, such a special experience, thank you. Thank you so | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
much. When a lot of people finish the show, they say, I'm going to | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
continue to dance and they've an enormous leap. But you have | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
continued! Thank you to Strictly and Aljaz, I will dance every day for | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
the rest of my life! It is sweet to have totally taken it on. 100%, I | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
love it so much and I can't live a day without dancing any more, I | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
really can't, so thank you. Thank you so much. Tameka, are you happy | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
with the finalists? We have missed you so much, can you stay here every | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
day? I'm available, we could work it out, guys! Let me tell you, the | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
final is so, I can't find the right words right now. Good, that is one | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
word! But the energy is so good. But we are in it together! We are, and I | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
have said the camaraderie is extraordinary. I'm not making it up, | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
you two, you have started going on holiday together! Together on | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Christmas Day! That is the beauty of the show, you get close as a group | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
and we had the opportunity to go on holiday together and we had a good | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
time! Everybody is invited! Were going! Strictly love! | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
We will soon find out whether you have chosen Ore, | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
Louise or Danny as your Strictly champion, but here's our judges' | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
This series has been fantastic. The most unpredictable, surprising, | :05:15. | :05:34. | |
entertaining Strictly ever! The standard of dancing is | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
absolutely unbelievable! Danny, the ultimate showman. What a | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
dance delight. Danny boy! The amount of detail that has gone into their | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
dances is outstanding. The charleston and Blackpool. The acting | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
and the telling the story, I adored that. You could not even tell he was | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
not one of the professionals. Spectacular levels. Full of fun and | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
entertainment. Danny is the only guy that has ever had a 40 for a samba. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
It was a masterclass in how to deliver the best technique. | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
It had to be four tens. Ten! Louise, great dancer, wonderful | :06:22. | :06:30. | |
musicality. She has this lovely, natural charm about her. She looks | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
so graceful. There is an elegance. Louise was not very confident in the | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
beginning. And the nerves were just, you could see her covered in them. | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
I'm shaking! And then she did one routine that just changed | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
everything. She did the Argentine tango and we | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
saw a different lady on the dance floor! She showed personality, she | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
was doing the kicks and the flicks. They proved they deserve a place in | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
the final. In week ten, we had a beautiful | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
waltz and you saw she had the confidence to perform on her own. | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
She has grown into a really fantastic dancer. | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
Ore was a surprise. For someone that has never trained before, to have | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
that amount of technique is extraordinary. His emotional | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
commitment is outstanding. What I love the Ore, he goes out and he | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
just gives it everything. Great technique, great musicality. He | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
always nail is not just the dance, but a different character. | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
Suave, slightly cheeky magical character. Ore's jive, one of the | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
best I have seen on Strictly. Everybody went mad for it. That was | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
when I thought, you have a chance of getting to the final. | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
The final three deserve to be there because they are extraordinary. They | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
all have something very special to give. All of them really could have | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
been the win as any other season. If I have got to leave after any | :08:12. | :08:13. | |

live all boil down to this one moment. | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
