Hello and welcome to the very last

A big thank you to our professionals

and the dancers from Zoo Nation,

especially B girl Eddie and B girl

Terror for that amazing routine.

They are only 13 and ten years old.

On Saturday night our Semi Finalists

each took to the floor with not one

but two brilliant performances.

Tonight we will find out

which of our remaining celebrities

are through to next week's Final.

There are only four places available

so one couple will leave tonight.

Your votes have been combined

Result.

Also on the show tonight,

a musical performance from the one

and only Craig David featuring

Bastille.

APPLAUSE.

Plus, the judges will be examining

some of Saturday night's

routines frame by frame.

Soon we'll find out

which two couples will be

in tonight's Dance Off.

But before that, here's

what happened when our couples

danced twice for a place

in next week's Final....

APPLAUSE.

Semifinal it, here we are.

I never

thought I would be this far so I am

trying to enjoy it.

I have had a

fantastic week.

Two dances, that is

all in my head at the minute, not

even thinking it is the semifinal

because it makes me crazy.

Just want

to survive tonight and get through.

My goodness, or we excited?

I know

they will bring their best game.

It

is extraordinary what you give and

you just don't get tired.

Your

energy is second to none, you are

brilliant.

Beautiful, absolutely

beautiful.

Your lips were great,

timing was extraordinary. Plenty of

glamour, lovely sweeping lines, just

what I wanted.

It had a soft, dreamy

quality.

Everything about it was

stunning. You are stunning.

I loved

it.

My darling, I think you missed

the flight to Brazil.

It just didn't

connect. Sadly, this is not your

dance.

I have let us down at the

semifinal as well.

The upper body

wasn't working.

I would love to see

you breathe into your body so we can

see the motion. You have amazing

legs.

Get in!

Currently at the top

is Alexandra and Gorka, but all of

that could change.

We are numbered

two.

You got a bit tight and a slight

mistake, but much, much better.

I

loved the quality. I just felt there

was an edge of nerves.

I went out

and messed up steps I didn't mess up

in rehearsals.

I loved it, I thought

it was great.

You are going for it,

I loved the facial expression.

Very

nice work. Yes! Yes! Yes.

You took a

big risk. Did it pay off? I think it

did, darling.

He pushed the

boundaries, you are spectacular.

You

never know if it is enough to get

through to the final or not.

Strictly gorgeous.

I thought it was

Allegan, I think you are beautiful.

I love dancing that dance with

Giovanni.

Lots of rhythm, it was

party time all the way.

Ten!

APPLAUSE

Double the dancing and

double the jeopardy.

It is all to play for tonight.

Here's how the leaderboard looked

at the end of all ten performances.

Up at the top is Alexandra and

Gorka. At the other end is Mollie

and AJ with a score of 56, but how

have your votes change that?

HEARTBEAT.

Only four are going to make it.

The results are in...

In no particular order...

The first couple safely

through to next week is ...

Joe and Katya.

Dancing in next week's

Final will be...

Alexandra and Gorka.

APPLAUSE

The first couple who must compete

for survival in the dance-off is ...

Gemma and Aljaz. Mollie and AJ, you

will have to wait to see if the

glitterball Trophy is still within

your gas. Gemma and Aljaz come and

join me.

APPLAUSE.

I'm so sorry to see you in this

position especially

so close to the Final.

I am gutted. I am gutted for you.

Never say sorry to me.

But we got

this far.

I love the tango, I cannot

wait to do it again.

Before the show tonight,

all of our couples were asked

to choose the dance they'd perform,

if they were to find

themselves in the dance off.

Clearly, you are dancing the tango.

It could be the final balance, so we

will fight to stay in.

Surely, they

have chosen to dance the tango, what

is your advice.

You have had a

spectacular journey, it is not over

yet. Get down in your legs, make it

sharp and get your head quicker.

Bring your passion to it, you will

enjoy every moment of dancing this

tango.

Good luck.

Over to you Claudia.

APPLAUSE.

I am joint by Joe and Katya and

Alexandra and Gorka.

They are the

nicest words I have ever heard.

When

you first started, you were lost.

Now look at where we are. I cannot

believe it, thank you to everyone

who voted for us, it is a dream come

true.

Next, don't give too much

away, what is your Showdance?

Fairy

tale.

Katya, this is your first time

as a finalist, has he got what it

takes, can you push into lift the

trophy?

Yes. I really think he can

do it, he has come so far. As a

team, we work so well. I am so proud

of you.

It is the most amazing

feeling in the world.

Well done to

the two of you. Look at you, what

reaction, what do you want to say to

the people who have kept you in?

I

didn't think we would get this far

and I am so grateful to every person

who voted for us. Thank you for your

support, it means the world and we

are so happy.

You certainly looked

incredibly happy. Did it feel as

good as it looked it up?

Yes. It

feels so overwhelming. I am over the

moon. Cannot put it into words. I

don't know what to say any more, I

just want to keep screaming.

Gorka,

what would you like to say?

So many

things, there isn't enough space for

me to say everything. Without her I

wouldn't be here. She works hard and

she's very talented, but most of

everything, she has this strength

inside of her and she fights for

everything. She wakes at the next

day, her smile is on and she keeps

going.

Thank you so much, Gorka.

much

Now, with the final less

than seven days away,

David.

APPLAUSE.

APPLAUSE.

# I know you, I know you.

for me to start it.

# Never need to apologize.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

Thank you Craig David, Bastille

and of course our professional

dancers Janette and Aljaz.

Now, for the last time this series,

please welcome the judges.

MUSIC: 'I Get So Emotional'.

Judges...

Thank you for coming out here.

Sometimes you do not have enough

time on a Saturday night so you come

here, you can expand. I would love

to start with you, Alexandra and

Gorka got to 40, what made it

perfect.

I was delighted with their

semifinal performance. I love the

way she committed herself to

everything she did. I felt she was

fighting for her life and she was

outstanding.

Thank you so much.

Dorothy, can I talk to you about Joe

and Katya. Their work balance issues

but you appreciated the risks --

Darcey.

How beautiful is that. That

is his balance problem. Look up

that! How extraordinary? Have you

ever seen that? Can you imagine how

strong you have to be in your core?

In the Argentine tango, you need to

take risks, you cannot play it safe.

We want to see them pulling off

every single daring move possible.

That is when they are going to get

more points.

Thank you so much,

Darcey. Craig, let us talk about the

Waltz from Mollie and AJ, you

preferred it to the samba but you

only gave them eight points and you

said something about the shoulders?

She has a tendency towards the end

to lose her frame slightly and you

see she is in a lovely hold and then

suddenly the shoulders start raising

and that is a small point and we are

thinking, in the very minute detail

now about who goes through,

obviously, to the final. All those

small points are very important.

Mollie has improved in her ballroom

from when she started and I think

that is completely commendable.

Thank you very much. Bruno, Debbie

and Giovanni did the foxtrot, you

were the only person to give them a

then, what for it you made it

flawless?

I am the only person who

got it right! There is nothing wrong

with that! That is why I gave them

the ten. Look at the way she holds

herself, how smooth it is, extremely

elegant. There is not a jagged

moment. It was beautiful Strictly

magic.

Thank you very much. Just to

complete this adorable chat, for 12

weeks now you have come up here,

week after week, thank you so much.

Here are your best bets. Please

welcome, the judges. I love this

stands, it is getting longer and

longer. You are at the oracle of

dance.

And dropped into it.

It

almost looks like coming in as a

surprise.

You are learning. You need

to see how hard our Strictly crew

work.

Temporary insanity. Look at

this, I think you will like it.

There you are.

Come back, Shirley.

Everything about that loses race.

I

thought he was outstanding. He is

fantastic.

I am going with that!

Let's hear it for the judges!

So far, one couple have made it

through to next week's final.

But who will be joining them?

Tess.

APPLAUSE CONTINUES.

Thanks Claudia.

HEARTBEAT.

Both our couples want to make it

to next week's Final.

One of them will join Gemma and

Alijaz in the dance-off.

It's

time to find out who.

Mollie and AJ and Debbie and

Giovanni.

One

of you is in the Final.

One of you is in the Dance Off.

I can reveal that the

couple in the bottom

two tonight who will be

in the

Dance Off is.......

Mollie and AJ.

APPLAUSE.

Debbie and Giovanni,

congratulations, you are through to

the Grand Final next week. Thank

you! Mollie and AJ, please come and

join me. I am sorry for you. You

have been in this position before.

We are so grateful to be here at the

semi-finals. People have voted us

through and we are so lucky to be

here. We are going to go out there

and give it our all like we always

do.

I'm guessing that you have

chosen to do the Waltz. Yes.

You

were nervous last time around, what

are you going to do differently?

Take on board what the judges said,

keep my shoulders down, concentrate

exactly, try and nail the footwork

and give it our best.

Do what we do

in the studio every day.

Ask the

judges for some advice. Darcey, this

is the most important dance-off of

the series. Mollie is about to take

part in this, how can she improve?

When you're at this point, trying to

get to that final and it is

incredibly exciting, it is about

breathing, take in and out, you are

in the arms of AJ, he is wonderful,

beautiful partner, feel confident in

his arms. They really proud that you

have got this far, enjoy every

moment and keep your core, you had a

serene quality, you just have to

maintain that from the beginning

until the very end. Keep that focus,

enjoy every minute, it is a

beautiful dance that AJ has created

for you and you look absolutely

stunning in it.

Thank you.

APPLAUSE. Take all that on board.

Noel Little wobbles. Nail this and

you could find yourself in the Grand

Final. All the very best of luck.

Very best of luck.

Over to you Claudia.

APPLAUSE.

I am here with Debbie and Giovanni,

they are through to the final.

You're so over the moon. Since

you're in the dance-off, but for

that you said that hearing that

music is the most terrifying thing.

It is horrible and tonight was the

worst, to have got this far, you so

want to be in the final and it is

just the most amazing feeling.

I

cannot believe it. What has Strictly

done for you?

Strictly has brought

happiness back into my life. It just

is such a joy being with everyone

and working with Giovanni every day.

It is just a special time of my life

and I feel like I said it before,

but my sparkle has come back. I

certainly have got it tonight!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

Well done,

baby. Giovanni, you have pushed, I

saw the training footage, you will

not let her go slower. Are you going

to push it up? We need to push this

week. Europe lifts are legendary,

you two. I cannot imagine the

showdowns, how many are you going to

put in?

All of them! She will not

touch the floor!

OK. Well done.

Let's hear it for the three couples

going through to the final.

APPLAUSE.

Thanks Tess.

We started the series with fifteen

celebrity dance students,

all eager to see if they could be

crowned Strictly champions.

And after twelve weeks

of fierce competition,

the wait is almost over...

12 weeks ago the journey began for

15 celebrities and now the end is in

sight.

After three gruelling Le Mans,

complete with blood, sweat, tears,

laughter, nurse and laughter...

Flawless, incredible. Just five

couples remain and they all want to

make it to the Grand Final.

I really

and truly love that.

Graceful.

Exquisite.

So, who will lift the

Glitterball Trophy and be crowned

the winner of Strictly Come Dancing

2017?

APPLAUSE. This is it, the most

important dance-off of the series.

Mollie and AJ will face Gemma and

Alijaz and there is only one place

available in the final and for their

chosen dancers they scored exactly

the same, 32, so it could not be any

closer. How are you going to deal

with it? The nerves took over on

Saturday, how are you going to face

it?

I need to do it the way we did

it in rehearsals. The nerves really

got to me and I need to try and keep

calm, follow AJ and hope for the

best.

Enormous luck, please get into

position. Can we hear it for Mollie

and AJ?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

Good luck!

Gemma, you and Alijaz one dance away

from the final, how much would it

mean for you to be there?

It would

mean everything, to get this far and

have it all taken away would be

horrible and I want to do it for you

as well because you deserve to be in

the final with everything you have

done for me.

There is only one place

available in the final, this is the

most important dance-off of the

series, first to dance again, please

give a big hand to Mollie and AJ.

MUSIC: Angel.

MUSIC: "In The Arms of an Angel."

APPLAUSE

Amazing.

Absolutely amazing.

Mollie

and AJ have done their best to

impress the judges. Now with their

final role of the dice to win a

place in the final, it is Gemma and

Aljaz.

MUSIC: My Sharona

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Last dance, last chance,

well done to both of you. Now to

find out who will be back to dance

in next week's final. Judges, it is

time to decide. Based on that dance

and that dance alone, I am about to

Askew the name of the couple who you

think deserves this day. The couple

at the most votes will stay. In the

case of a split decision, surely,

you will have the deciding vote.

Craig, who would you like to centre

the final.

Both couples, neck and

neck, both couples ballroom. Both

couples pulled out the stops

tonight. But for me, the couple that

had the edge... Gemma and Aljaz.

APPLAUSE.

Darcey, who do you think deserves

to stay in the competition and why?

Both couples made a great

improvement, but the couple that was

more assured and more confident was

Gemma and Aljaz.

APPLAUSE.

That is two votes for Gemma and

Aljaz.

Bruno, who would you like to be

a Finalist and why?

First I want to congratulate U-boat

because you did so well. You gave

everything you had into this. But I

have to the couple that stood out in

my eyes. And I have to choose Gemma

and Aljaz.

That means we will have

to say goodbye to Mollie and AJ.

Gemma and Aljaz, congratulations, we

will see you in next week's Grand

Final. Surely, would you have

agreed?

I agree, Gemma and Aljaz.

Mollie and AJ, come and join me. So

sorry to see you both go. You have

come so far.

Thank you.

You have

been incredible, we have thoroughly

enjoyed to watch a dancing together.

I will never forget you flying into

Blackpool Tower with your wings on.

What have been the highlight?

That

have been so many, but first,

congratulations to Gemma and Aljaz.

AJ, you have been incredible and

knew how big my hero for the last

couple of months. Thank you, I

couldn't have done any of it without

you.

You have been a fantastic

partnership. You have even started

to look alike. They are gorgeous

together. AJ, what do you want to

say to Mollie?

I want to say thank

you for training and working so

hard. Always willing to try

everything and performing every

single night as though it was the

last.

Thank you.

Will you keep

dancing? Keep dancing, definitely.

You have entertained us over the

last few weeks. We cannot let you go

without taking a look back at your

Strictly story.

Strictly for me has

been so much more than a dancing

competition. It has been brilliant

in every way possible. AJ has been

the biggest part of experience, he

has been the most incredible teacher

I could ever ask for.

Mollie has

100% exceeded my expectations. She

is so hard-working, always wanting

more and wanting to train all day

long.

He is so patient with me and

work so hard with me but he is an

amazing person.

I am so proud of

Mollie, from the beginning to now

being able to do these performances

that are so hard and enjoy them at

the same time.

I have so many

amazing memories. My favourite

comment from Shirley is when we did

the American Smooth.

You have just

made my night.

It was the biggest

compliment ever.

Mollie has made it

special and I have a friend for

life.

The Strictly experience has

been life changing, I wish I could

dance every week now for the rest of

my life.

What a great couple you

have been. So many memories.

I feel

like the luckiest girl to have had

this experience. Thank you

everybody, everybody who has let me

have this journey.

Congratulations

on making it this far, you have been

brilliant for the very last time.

The floor is yours. We will miss

you. Thank you very much. Mollie and

AJ will join Zoe Monday for It Takes

Two.

It is the Grand Final and your

votes alone will determine who will

lift the glitterball Trophy the

2017.

Joel and Katya, Debbie and

Giovanni, Gemma and Aljaz. We will

see you next week. But now with the

very last dance, it is Mollie and

AJ.

APPLAUSE

MUSIC: "Can't Smile Without You."

APPLAUSE.

So, so lucky to be finalists.

It is

to industry with sadness and guilt

because we were in the dance-off and

Mollie is amazing and AJ is amazing.

So happy. We made it to the final.

It is so amazing. We didn't think we

would ever get this far.

It is the

best feeling of my life, it is

beautiful.

We feel really elated,

really good, really proud and happy.

Top of the world.
