HUGE APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to

Strictly Come Dancing -

The Results.

A huge thank you to the stars

of Dreamgirls and our

professional dancers for that

glittering opening routine.

APPLAUSE

On Saturday night,

our celebrities made amazing song

and dance of this weekend's

Musicals Special.

Later on we will reveal

which of our remaining celebrities

are safely through to

next week's semifinal.

Sadly, one couple won't make it.

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 will then

be down to these four.

Please welcome the judges.

APPLAUSE

Shirley Ballas and Bruno Tonioli.

And Craig Revel Horwood

and Darcey Bussell.

APPLAUSE

Thank you, judges.

Dreamy.

Also on the show tonight,

three stars of the West End,

Amber Riley, Beverley Knight

and Cassidy Janson - aka

Leading Ladies - will be performing

the classic I'm Every Woman.

APPLAUSE

Plus, the judges will be

discussing Saturday night's

performances in more detail

frame by frame.

Soon, we will reveal the first

couple in the dance-off.

But first, here's a reminder

of what happened when our Strictly

stars took on some of the greatest

show tunes of all time...

APPLAUSE

Another opening of another show, a

chance to see... Hello!

It's a big

week this week, a quarterfinal. Not

only that. It is Musicals Week.

week this week, a quarterfinal. Not

only that. It is Musicals Week.

Everyone Is

So Excited And I Think

We Can Get Into all our own

characters.

I will try to charm the

judges.

It feels like we are all in a West

End show. Everyone is dolled up and

looks amazing. It's incredible.

We are all at that point where we

are thinking, its quarterfinals, but

we need to make sure we got on stage

to have the best time, because

nobody knows what's going to happen,

knows what weird is going to go.

Live in five, everybody... -- which

way it will go.

My favourite!

Its

quarterfinals!

We expect nothing but

the best. Shall we let the show

begins?

Its curtain time, and away

we go!

The flexibility, the acting

skills, off the charts. Fantastic!

I'm glad she said my acting was

good!

Joe has been great from the

beginning but is getting better and

better, and Katya's choreography is

genius.

Your quality of movement is

better and better.

I don't agree at

all. I liked it, but I didn't love

it.

I thought you got it just right.

Hard work!

For me it looked a little laboured

and heavy.

You had your swanlike

posture, and immaculate frame.

My

partner, I love you!

You did start off so immaculately

but there were balance problems.

Love the style, the Argentine Tango.

A bit gutted I do didn't it more

justice.

Practically perfect, well

done! Brilliant.

The amount of detail you give us,

fabulous!

Ten for you... It will be a memory

etched in everybody's hearts for a

long time. It is just beautiful. I

am purring with delight. Absolutely

seamless. Ten!

Oh!

APPLAUSE

Some truly show

stopping performances.

Six celebrities are waiting

in the wings all desperate to know

if they will be in next

week's semifinal.

Here's how the leaderboard looked

at the end of Saturday night.

But 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...

Debbie and Giovanni!

APPLAUSE

Thank you, thank you!

Going through to next

week's semifinal is...

Joe and Katya!

APPLAUSE

Thank you so much, thank you.

LAUGHTER

The first couple who must

compete for survival

in the dance-off is...

Davood and Nadiya. The rest of you

will have to wait a little longer to

find out if you are through. Davood

and Nadiya, please come down and

join me.

Dearie me.

No one wants to be in this position

especially this close

to the semifinal....

You have to expect a lower down on

the table, but it is a great dance

to do. We will do the dance again,

and hopefully we will get on, and

enjoy it. Yes!

Lets get some tips on

how to improve. Shirley, you said

Davood had balance issues. What can

he do?

Strength in your court, no

fidgeting on your feet, but

otherwise bring those wonderful

performances you brought us week

after week -- strength in your core.

We wish you the very best of luck

and we will see later on. Claudia,

over the year.

Thank you, Tess! --

over to you.

I have two sets of semifinalists

with me....

We are glad.

To get through to the

semifinals is enormous, it just

feels incredible.

Well done, but I

have news for you. You have to learn

to map dances, and incredibly the

jive and the foxtrot. How will you

tackle it? The hardest one first or

both together?

Perhaps the jive

because it is my favourite, so we

will start with a big push, and then

maybe the foxtrot.

Enormous luck,

and congratulations.

Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Joe, another one, congratulations!

APPLAUSE

And you worked incredibly hard. I

just want to know, what is harder,

learning all those lines as a heart

surgeon or are learning two dances

with this creature?

I will let you

know, but I think I would rather do

heart surgery and brain surgery at

the same time because you don't have

to do it live. I will let you know

next week.

You will be fine!

to do it live. I will let you know

next week.

You will be fine!

You

have been very honest. You said it

was incredibly hard.

It was, we

started off slow and that will help

us in the semifinal. He has

progressed so much.

Well done to you

both.

Now, it's time to welcome three

stars from the West End stage.

Performing "I'm Every Woman" it's

the Leading Ladies -

Amber Riley, Beverley Knight

and Cassidy Janson.

APPLAUSE.

# Whatever you want,

whatever you need.

woman (every woman).

# It's all in me,

it's all in me, yeah!

# I can cast a spell,

of secrets you can tell.

# Mix a special brew,

put fire in of you.

# Anytime you feel danger or fear.

# Then instantly

I will appear 'cause.

# I'm every woman, it's all in me.

# Anything you want done, baby,

I'll do it naturally.

# I can sense your needs.

# Like rain unto the seeds.

# I can make a rhyme

of confusion in your mind.

# And when it comes back to some

good old-fashioned love.

# I'm every woman, it's all in me.

# Anything you want done, baby,

I'll do it naturally.

# I'm every woman, it's all in me.

APPLAUSE.

Thank you to The Leading Ladies

and our professional dancers.

It's time now for a dance debrief

please welcome the judges.

MUSIC: You Can't Stop The Beat

APPLAUSE.

I love it. I love this stance, it is

getting longer and longer. On

Saturday night sometimes you have

limited time. You can on file if you

will. Let us start with you surely,

Debbie and Giovanni, you said it was

beautiful, but you said her dismount

was amazing.

She did a beautiful

circular left. She ended up going

into a fleckerl.

Thank you so much.

Darcey, I would like to talk to you

about Gemma and Alijaz, you only

gave them a seven, why is that?

The

frame and just went. She got to

relax. Everything is moving in the

upper body. We do not appreciate how

difficult it is to maintain it. By

the end as you get tired, it starts

to show and in the frame, it has to

be so fixed, this vertical line, so

that everything else looks easy and

effortless.

Craig, let us talk about

Alexandra and Gorka, you loved it,

you said she was better than Gorka,

what is the issue with the Number

10?

I find things wrong with things.

Honestly. Alexandra is great but

there is still some detail that she

is missing in the propeller step,

she is not bringing her knees

together. She does a barrel in turn,

girls do not normally do it. If you

are going to do it, one that places

the body to the floor and you need

to be facing it. She was too

vertical and upright for it. Her

knees were completely apart. You

lock the knee into here and then you

do a little propeller step. Hers was

out here, darling.

I prefer it when

it is out there.

We are coming up to

the final and we have to be picky.

It is sometimes not perfect. Thank

you. Quite scared. Bruno, I want to

talk about Joe and Katya.

You adored

his characterisation. It was so

vivid, relative to the time and

place. You were right there in

Berlin in 1931. It is a good samba.

He is not cheating. The content was

as good as the character.

Thank you.

We have to share this with the

group. This is what happened just

before we went live on Saturday

night, an extra contestant was in

the room. This is what happened.

Oh

my goodness!

APPLAUSE.

We love you, Ed! Thank you

very much. Let's hear it for the

judges.

Two couples are currently safely

through to our Semi-Final.

Who will be joining them?

Tess.

APPLAUSE CONTINUES

Thanks, Claudia.

One of our couples will join Davood

and Nadiya in the dance-off.

It's time to find out who.

In no particular order...

Securing a place in next

week's Semi-Final are...

Mollie and AJ!

Thank you!

APPLAUSE. Alexandra and Gorka and

Jimmy -- and Gemma and Alijaz.

One of you is safe.

One of you is in the dance-off.

I can reveal that the couple

in the bottom two tonight

who will compete in

the dance-off is...

Alexandra and Gorka.

Gemma and Alijaz, congratulations,

you are through to the semifinal

next week. Alexandra and worker,

please come and join me.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. -- Alexandra

and Gorka. Here we are again. Two

weeks in a row, lots of gasps in the

room. How does it feel?

We are

gutted. I hope I can say that for

you as well. We will try our best

and that is all that matters. We

have so much fun. It is dance were

weak have been able to laugh and

smile and play a little character,

let us do it again.

Craig you were

the only charge who did not give

Alexandra a Number 10, how can she

improve?

I cannot believe you're in

the dance-off again. It is crazy. It

is lunacy. There is not much you can

do to improve, but you could put

your knees together and the

propeller step, I want you to go out

there and dance for your life and

for your mother. Go out there and

give it your all.

Exactly the same.

We all loved it. Your beautiful

smile lights up the room. Gorgeous.

We will see you later.

Claudia, over to you....

APPLAUSE.

Thanks, Tess.

I'm here with four couples

who have all made it

through to our Semi-Final.

You look like you have not even

exhaled. You got a number six from

Craig and you were on the bottom of

the Leader Board. Did you think that

was you?

I said, we need to go

through the steps again before we

get the results. I am thrilled that

people have voted and we are here.

Thank you so much, from the bottom

of our dancing pirates.

Well done.

Mollie, a semifinalist. You have

trained over 300 hours in this

competition.

How happy are you? I

cannot put it into words. I am over

the moon. I am so grateful to you,

we train every hour of the day, per

AJ must be like, not again! I am so

grateful. Thank you to anyone who

voted for us.

Your dedication is

outstanding, you are willing to

train over 300 hours.

Only half that

time is spent kissing! I am joking!

I am joking! I'm joking!

If you adore the ballroom

and are always eager for more then

why restrict your Strictly action

to just the weekend?

Zoe, over to you...

Musicals week might be coming to a

close but we love to make a song and

dance of things here at It Takes

Two. We have got glitz and glamour

galore. And plenty of show stopping

moments. Debbie McGee, you are a

lucky woman. Join me for It Takes

Two every week night on BBC Two.

APPLAUSE.

Thanks, Zoe.

Davood and Nadiya,

and Alexandra and Gorka.

Their next performance

will be their last opportunity

to try and win over the judges.

You enjoyed this stance a lot on

Saturday night, the audience loved

it, how are you going to attack the

dance.

I have to enjoy it in the

same way. It could be our last

dance. I want to go out on a real

high and enjoy every minute of it.

It was a powerful dance, lovely and

fun.

Please get into position. Let

us hear it for Davood and Nadiya.

Alexandra, how much do you want to

be here next week?

It means so much

to me that we have already made it

this far. It is such a blessing and

an absolute privilege to do this

show. True happiness. And Davood is

like a brother to me and I love him

to pieces.

Best of luck, sweetheart.

Someone that --

None of our couples

want to leave especially this close

to the Semi-Final, but sadly

someone must go tonight.

Dancing first to stay

in the competition, please

give a big hand to

Davood and Nadiya.

APPLAUSE.

APPLAUSE

And now fighting for

a place in the Semi-Final,

it is Alexandra and Gorka.

MUSIC:

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

APPLAUSE

Well done to both of you.

They really could have done no more!

Now it's time to find out

who will be back to dance again

in next week's Semi-Final.

Judges, it's time to decide.

Based on that dance,

and that dance alone, I'm

about to ask each of you the name

of the couple you think

deserves to stay and why.

The couple with the most

votes will remain 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 casting vote.

This is it.

Craig, who are you

going to save and why?

This couple were out there on a

mission and completely and utterly

named it. That couple is Alexandra

and Gorka.

One vote for Alexandra

and Gorka.

Darcey, who do you think

deserves to stay in the

competition and why?

competition and why?

Both couples gave 100% and night and

it is tough to see anybody go but

there was one that totally outshine

the other and that was Alexandra and

Gorka.

Two votes for Alexandra and

Gorka, which means if Bruno chooses

to save them they are through to the

semifinal.

Bruno, who do you want

to stay in Strictly

Come Dancing and why?

Stronger, powerful, overall better,

Alexandra and Gorka.

That means we

are going to have to say goodbye to

Davood and Nadiya. Alexandra and

Gorka, congratulations. We will see

you in next week's semifinal.

Shirley, although it will make

no difference to the

result, did you agree?

Alexandra and Gorka.

Gorka and Alexandra, OK.

Davood and Nadiya, we're

so sorry to see you go.

We are going to miss you guys!

Personal highlights, Blackpool

Tower, have you enjoyed your

Strictly experience?

I provide the

best time and I never thought I

would reach this far, never thought

I would get to this point, to meet

such amazing people, some of them

left up there. Every comment I

appreciated, good and bad. Lovely to

meet you, Claudia, and to dance in

front of audiences like this it has

honestly been a real gift.

I have never done anything like this

before, so it has been an

unforgettable experience, and I will

spend the next couple of weeks at

home dancing with my two beautiful

girls who are now such big fans of

this show.

I bet they are proud of

you.

They are.

And now URI dancer!

Obviously and into thanks many

people, my beautiful family and my

wife -- you are a dancer. This is

her first year on this show, and I

think she has done well, Alexandra.

APPLAUSE

Brilliant choreography. She is a

brilliant partner, and she is a

great teacher and now she is a

really really good friend and I am

so pleased to have met you.

Aw! What

a lovely speech.

You are a

gentleman.

Would you like to say

something to Davood?

Just a big

thank you, and I am such a lucky

girl to have had you as my partner.

It is such a privilege to be a part

of your journey, because I think it

was incredible. The way you improved

and came so far, I am so proud of

you.

Thank you for teaching me to

dance.

Thank you.

Off you go and prepare

for your last dance.

Sorry to see you go. Sadly, Davood

and Nadiya become the tenth couple

to leave Strictly Come Dancing.

They will join Zoe on It Takes Two

on Monday on BBC2.

our couples go to

We'll be back next Saturday

at 6:45 for the 2017

Semi-final when our five

remaining couples must

perform not one, but two dances.

But now, with their final farewell,

it's Davood and Nadiya...
