CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello, and welcome to

Strictly Come Dancing: The Results.

A huge thank you to our

professional dancers for that

fashion-themed routine.

On Saturday night our dancers had

two chances to impress.

Soon, we will find out which of our

seven celebrities have made it

through to the quarter-finals.

Unfortunately, for one couple,

it will all come to an end tonight.

Your votes have been combined

with the judges' scores,

and the two couples with the lowest

overall points will face each

other in the dance-off.

The decision of who stays

and who goes is down to four

Judges.

Please welcome, the judges.

Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli.

And Craig Revel Horwood

and Darcey Bussell.

Sheer's the action, including the

paso-dobla-thon.

They will perform two dances for the

first time.

Today we are doing the

paso-dobla-thon. Which is the best I

have heard in my life.

Next week it is the quarterfinals.

.

It is the business end of the

competition. You get past Blackpool

and you feel proud of how far you

have come in the show.

We have

learnt two dances.

It will take a

lot of stamina today.

It is playing

on my mind. No pressure. It will be

fun.

Tonight we have the

paso-dobla-thon. It has never been

done. Anything can happen.

It is

nerve-racking we will be on that

show together.

We are always ready.

It is time now.

Gorgeous!

Not too much popping or

dipping. A beautiful even plain.

Well done.

It was effortless.

My

kind of waltz.

Such a beautiful

dance. I am proud of him.

You are

making so much progress.

Those

rolling pivots. That is one of the

most difficult steps to do.

Nice. I cannot believe it.

My first

name. I was very intrigued.

You

needed straighter legs in your rumba

waltz.

I felt it lacked any

connection. You are stunning dance.

I just expect more. That is Ursula

stands. I find it magical to dance

with him.

Your hands in the

promenades looked like super labels.

It never work for me. I did not

believe this was your dance.

You did

a nice fault.

I was pleased with

that today. It is not my best dance,

so I wanted to make it my most fun

dance.

I love watching you, but

technically you're not quite as

advanced as you could be at this

stage.

There were timing issues.

Your legs had a mind of your own in

that last left.

The setting, the

music, the cheeky kiss with Kevin,

the entertainment factor for the

audience is outstanding.

I enjoyed

it, you enjoyed it.

If hi-fi. Your

legs were like a paintbrush in the

hand of a great artist.

I tell you

what, I wish I could dance like you.

I pride myself on my balance but I

have never seen balance like that.

You were outstanding. Absolutely

breathtaking. Everything was

absolutely spot on. It was clean,

light, it was bright.

Stupendous,

darling. You've filled the floor,

skip, skip, such wonderful moves.

One, two, three.

Whoever get second will get seven

marks...

I want to say, that is the

most exciting thing I have ever

seen. It was amazing.

Second place

Joe and Katya. And into first place,

Alexandra and Gorka.

Our Strictly stars are nervously

standing by waiting to find out who

has secured a place in next week's

quarterfinal - our Musical Special.

Let's look at the leaderboard.

How have your votes changed all of

that? The results are in.

In no particular order, the first

couple safely through to next week

is...

Mollie and AJ.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you!

Dancing in next week's quarterfinal

will be...

Joe and Katya.

Thank you.

And now the first couple who must

compete for survival in the

dance-off is...

Alexandra and Gorka. The rest of you

will have to wait a little longer to

find out your fate. Alexandra and

Gorka, please come and join me.

I am so sorry my darlings. A lot of

gasps in the room. You haven't been

here before. How are you feeling?

Do

you know what, I have loved every

second of this journey and it's just

been an honour to be here. So, I am

going to give it everything.

Good

girl! It's not over yet. We don't

want a goodbye speech yet. Shirley,

our Queen of the rumba, in your

opinion, what can Alexandra...

Can

you do it for me?

I think you are

more than capable of doing it. If

you is can listen to the music, you

have got great energy. I would go

with that passion.

You are an

amazing dancer. All right, my

darling. See you later in the

dance-off. All the best of luck.

Thank you.

Thank you. I am with the first two

couples through to our musical

special. Joe, top of the leaderboard

- your highest score. What an

extraordinary Saturday night.

I am

living my best.

Shirley has called

you the dark horse for a couple of

weeks. When you go home are you

eating actual hay?

She gets me on my

back and whips me with a stick

sometimes!

OK!

Thank you! No more words from you!

Katya, your first quarterfinals.

Congratulations...

APPLAUSE

Thank you so much more working so

hard.

You must be so proud of him.

So, so proud. I cannot wait to do

the musicals. My first musicals

week.

Katya is very happy. Mollie,

you are through to musicals week.

You are quarterfinalist.

I cannot

believe this. It is madness. When we

started this journey we never

thought we would get to the

quarterfinals. Thank you so much. We

are so grateful.

Thank you.

An unbelievable journey we are on.

AJ, you train so hard - 37 hours,

you got your first nine. Was it

worth it?

It was better than any 40.

It could

have been 100.

It felt like 100.

Well done to both of you.

Now, performing her current single,

Meaning Of Life, it's the brilliant

Kelly Clarkson.

# Baby, I've been living in the dark

# The only friend I've got

here is my broken heart

# Feeling like I've

finally had enough

# Living like an animal

can be so rough

# I've been waiting so long

for you to come my way

# And now I, I can't

wait another day

# When you hold me, I finally see

# When you say love,

I know what it means

# I was broke down

so long in the dark

# Until you showed me

the light, baby

# Cos when you kiss

me, I know who I am

# And when you let me

feel it I understand

# When I'm lost I just

look in your eyes

# You show me the meaning of life

# Meaning of life, life, life, life

# You show me the meaning of life

# Meaning of life, life, life, life

# You show me the meaning of life

# Every time I spend a lonely night,

yeah

# Thinking I won't make it

till the morning light

# All I do is think of you and I

# Suddenly the wrongs

they start to feel so right

# I've been waiting so long

for you to come my way

# Come my way, yeah

# And now I

# I can't wait another day

# When you hold me, I finally see

# When you say love,

I know what it means

# I was broke down

so long in the dark

# Until you showed me the light

# Cos when you kiss

me, I know who I am

# And when you let me

feel it, I understand

# When I'm lost I just

look in your eyes

# You show me the meaning of life

# Meaning of life, life, life, life

# You show me the meaning of life

# Meaning of life, life, life, life

# Show me the meaning of life

# You show me love

# You lift me up

# You take me higher and higher

# The truth is I'm in love

# Can you feel us,

we're flying higher?

# Oh, you show me love

# You lift me up

# You take me higher and higher

# The truth is I'm in love

# Can you feel us,

we're flying higher?

# Meaning of life, life, life, life

# You show me the meaning of life

# Meaning of life, life, life, life

# Show me the meaning of life

# Show me the meaning of life

# Show me the meaning of life.

CHEERING

Thank you to Kelly Clarkson

and our wonderful professional

dancers, Janette and Gorka.

It's time now for a dance debrief.

Please welcome the judges.

CHEERING

This is good.

Thank you so much. You have come up

the stairs. On Saturday night,

you're all so -- often want more

time and this is where you can

expand. I would like to start with

you, Shirley. Let's talk about Joe

and Katya. You give him a pen. You

said it was perfect when he put his

arms

said it was perfect when he put his

arms behind his back.

That is a

spectacular movement. Normally when

people are practising they take

their hands away and they do the

same steps and try to stay connected

without hold so each person

has his own body weight.

I thought

he was outstanding. I was quite

surprised he didn't, it was

unbelievable. Thank you so much.

Darcey, I would like to talk to you

by Davood and Nadiya. You give them

names. You said there was lovely

romance, it is going from strength

to strength.

He is, he is a great

actor and he has this wonderful eye

contact with Nadiya. He is following

it through into the body. The way he

holds himself and he is

understanding each style, he is

becoming a true artist.

Thank you so

much. Craig, let's talk about Debbie

and Giovanni. You gave her a name

and you used the word floppy.

You

wanted a floppy or lag. Yes, a

looser like. This technique is a

hook, that is the literal

translation. It is a reaction to the

man's lead. The leg should be less.

It makes the flick that we see a lot

faster.

OK, so it should almost look

like it is coming as a surprise.

That is it. You are learning.

Fantastic. My 14th year. Bruno, can

I talk to you about Mollie and AJ?

You said they were like Dan Braid

and that was the way to get to the

final.

We are still some way from

that. She is so much more

controlled. She has always been a

good dance, but sometimes she does

not finish a move correctly, it is

fuzzy. She has had issues with

balance, especially in terms. Her

terms were controlled, strengthening

the court, nice and fluid, no

wobbles.

Thank you. On Saturday

night, we had our first

paso-dobla-thon. This is a video

clip.

How do you think they did? I

thought it was absolutely

spectacular. It was like being in

the Winter Gardens, watching the

most spectacular dancers in the

world. The floor craft was

outstanding. They were not bumping,

they kept their own space. That is a

feat in itself. One of the best

things I have ever seen.

Thank you

so much. Let's hear it for the

judges. Thank you.

Two couples are safely

through to next week.

But who will be joining them?

Tess.

Thanks, Claudia.

Oliver Burke pulls want to remain in

the show but who will join Alexandra

and Gorka in the dance-off? It is

time to find out.

and Gorka in the dance-off? It is

time to find out. In no particular

order, going through to the

quarterfinal...

Debbie and Giovanni.

Yes.

APPLAUSE

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Back in the ballroom next

Saturday...

Gemma and Aljaz.

CHEERING

Thank you.

Yes.

So that means Davood and Nadiya, and

Susan and Kevin, one of you is safe

and one is in the dance-off. I can

reveal that the couple in the bottom

two tonight he will compete in the

dance-off is... Susan and Kevin.

APPLAUSE

Davood and Nadiya, congratulations,

you're through to the quarterfinals.

Susan and Kevin, join me. I am

sorry.

Nobody wants to feel that red

light over them. It will be a really

difficult dance-off.

It is going to

be a close one.

If we really work on

technique we could make up those

points.

You never know.

Let's speak to the judges. Yes. I

have never seen a more uneven

contest in my life.

We can do this.

It is not over yet. Bruno. On

Saturday night, you said you wanted

more technique from Susan.

What can

she do now? I can feel it, it could

be the Federer- Nadal of the

dance-off is. You bring so much fun.

It has been a pleasure to watch it.

If you can make it a bit smoother,

it would help, but enjoy yourself

and have a good time.

So we have

still got a chance?

Federer- Nadal.

There is always a chance in life,

Tess. It might be a small one, but

it is there.

Sees it. Very Best of

luck.

Thank you, three more

quarterfinals have join me. Gemma,

your reaction is always my

favourite. You absolutely cannot

believe it. When you started this

competition you were like, if I make

it to Blackpool, it will be a

miracle.

Your quarterfinals. I

cannot believe it.

I am so happy.

Aljaz, you have not made a

quarterfinal since 2015.

But I have

in 2017. I love it, thank you so

much. Every single week, you go out

there and smash it. Every single

week.

It is all down to you.

Davood,

that was horrible for you?

It was

horrible. This is really tight. It

was very difficult.

I think you were

quite tearful. Maybe.

I know, it is

really hard because it means a lot

at this point.

You have never danced

before.

No. You are the first male

celebrity to do the Argentine tango

next week.

Yes, I have watched a few

and they're really good. She is the

best teacher so I am looking forward

to getting in and training and

working hard.

Congratulations.

Nadiya, your first year on Strictly.

It does not always go like this.

Well done, you're through to the

quarterfinals.

Thank you, I am so

happy. I am such a lucky girl to

have him as my partner.

This is so

sweet but I would really like you to

be falling out for a change of pace.

Debbie, you're not in the bottom

two.

What would you like to see?

Thank you for voting foreigners.

When we were standing tonight I was

thinking, we were not popular last

week so we could be in the dance-off

again. To be her for the

quarterfinal, Giovanni has worked so

hard with me. We have had a tough

week. It is such a thrill, and to be

with all these guys who have got

through, it is wonderful.

Thank you,

Debbie. Giovanni, I believe Kylie

Minogue herself has added some of

your lifts into her tour.

Her make

up artists say that. I would love to

have a go with Kylie Minogue.

OK. We

can try once.

Next week, it's our all-singing,

all-dancing musical special.

But that's not all.

Next week is musicals week. Even

more importantly, it is the

quarterfinals of Strictly.

Up until

now I have been taking each week as

it comes.

Only seven couples left

and looking around, the standard is

sky high.

I did not think in a

million years I could reach the

quarterfinals.

We have worked so

hard to get to this point.

All we

need to do is stay focused, keep our

heads down and work really hard.

The

quarterfinals? If I get that far,

who knows what else might be

possible.

We are here with Alexandra and Gorka

and Susan and Kevin. They would love

to be back next week. This

performance will be their last

opportunity to try and win over the

judges.

What is brilliant is every

week you what the judges have said,

how are you going to tackle the

dance-off?

Just give 100%. I will

take on everything they said that I

need to work on, the connection,

listening to the music, and I would

just have a good time. If this is my

last dance, I went to glide feeling

amazing.

Who better to dance with

than Gorka. Enormous luck. Please

get into position. Alexandra and

Gorka. Susan, we all know how much

you love dancing with your Kevin.

You can perhaps do it again now?

Absolutely. We will go out and have

fun. If it is my last dance with

Kevin, but it is not going to be,

because we will keep dancing beyond

the programme.

You are? Very good.

No-one wants to leave this close

to the quarter-final,

but someone must go tonight.

Dancing first, to stay in the

competition, please give a big hand

to Alexandra and Gorka.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

AND NOW IT IS SUSAN AND KEVIN.

MUSIC: "Beyond The Sea"

by Bobby Darin.

I am so proud of you.

Love you.

Love

you.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

A huge well

done to both of our couples. They

can do no more. Judges, it is now

time to decide.

Based on that dance and that dance

alone, I am about to ask you the

name of the couple you think

deserves to stay and why. The couple

with the most votes will stay in the

competition, meaning the other

couple is out of Strictly Come

Dancing. In the event of a split

decision, head judge Shirley you

will have the deciding vote. Craig,

who will you save and why?

Well,

simply the better dance of the night

I believe was Alexandra and Gorka.

That is one vote for you. Darcey,

which couple and why?

For their

artistry and technical ability

Alexandra and Gorka.

If Bruno saves

them they are through to the

quarterfinal. Bruno, who do you want

to save and why?

First, let me say,

I really enjoyed them both, although

for different reasons. But I to say,

I have to say is the best dancer,

Alexandra and Gorka.

Goodbye to

Susan and Kevin. Congratulations, we

will see you in next week's

quarterfinal.

Shirley, although it makes no

difference to the overall result,

who would you have saved?

I agree

with my fellow judges, Alexandra and

Gorka.

Thank you very much.

So sorry to see you go.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Listen to that

- a lot of supporters here. I know

it was your dream. Have you enjoyed

your Strictly experience?

I have

loved every minute of it. Everyone

from wardrobe, make-up, you and

Claudia. The judges who brought such

light to my life, everyone involved

in the show - the audience. Everyone

who voted for us. We got far further

than we ever thought we would. To my

friends, my family, my lovely wife,

who is here every single week

supporting me...

Ah! .

. But most of all, I have made a

friend for life. And Kevin may not

have won the glitterball this year,

but he's won Strictly for me.

Lovely. You guys have been a

dynamite partnership. I will never

forget your quickstep, personal

highlight. Kevin, what would you

like to say to Susan?

A couple of

thank yous. When Strictly is on, I

am not the easiest person to live

with. Thanks to my wife for putting

up with me.

And I would like to say thank you to

Strictly Come Dancing in echoing

that everything that Susan said

about even on it. In a world which

not everyone is nice, Strictly

brings a lot of joy and happiness

into the world through the wonderful

thing which is dance.

And I think Susan, you have been the

absolute epitome of joy and

happiness in this competition, which

in my eyes makes you a beautiful

dancer. Thank you for dancing with

me.

So sweet! Those little tears - I

wish I had a tissue for you.

They

are tears of happiness. This has

been the best experience of my life,

to dance with this handsome,

handsome man.

Lovely. You get to have one last

dance. Off you go.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Susan and Kevin are the ninth couple

to leave. They will join Zoe on It

Takes Two.

For all the news on our

webs go to the website:

We will be back for a musical

special when our remaining couples

will dance to some of the best-loved

show tunes of all time.

Now with

their final dance, it is Susan and

Kevin.

APPLAUSE

# Let's dance the last dance

# Let's dance the last dance

# Let's dance the last dance

#

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Susan is just

so lovely. So funny and she'll be so

missed.

Watching her do her last

dance, I was heart broken because I

know how much it means to her to

dance with Kevin.

Bring on the

quarterfinals. Well done.

To get to

the quarterfinals is mind-blowing.

It is all thanks to you.

An amazing

job.

We are through and guess what

week it is...

Musicals!

I can't wait

to do the next dance. It will be...

Give me a suggestion... That's it.

That's all you can know about it.
