:04:41. > :04:48.6,000 strong crowd. Let's hear you Wembley.

:05:50. > :06:00.Saturday night. Kicks, flicks.
:06:00. > :06:01.
:06:01. > :06:08.I want to nail this routine. Wembley. What a fantastic night!
:06:08. > :06:15.Robbie, you opened the show like it was your own rock concert.
:06:15. > :06:25.Well done, Robbie Savage. Don't ever attempt a jump like that.
:06:25. > :06:27.
:06:27. > :06:32.It was all a bit wild and savage, So fascinating. So alluring. So
:06:32. > :06:39.poised. So stylish. This is what I like, the proper
:06:39. > :06:43.tango. You danced beautifully. Fabulous!
:06:43. > :06:48.Nine. Nine.
:06:48. > :06:52.Nine. I never expected to get to nine. It
:06:52. > :06:58.couldn't have gone better. Because it was so fast and so
:06:58. > :07:03.intense, it did lose a little bit of control now and again.
:07:03. > :07:07.When we were in a spin, I thought my head might come off. It didn't.
:07:07. > :07:11.You had a light and effortless way about the way you dance.
:07:11. > :07:19.Although it was nerve-wracking, I wish we could perform to this lot
:07:20. > :07:22.every single week. In all honestly, you totally
:07:22. > :07:27.embodied this samba groove. This is a tough dance.
:07:27. > :07:30.There was so much fire up above, you forgot the fire down below.
:07:30. > :07:34.Breathe now, darling. You come out every dance and you
:07:34. > :07:44.give it 100%. The atmosphere is electric out
:07:44. > :07:54.there. I can well imagine if I was a girl
:07:54. > :07:56.
:07:56. > :08:06.and looking at Harry and going, "Yum, yum.". I think you
:08:06. > :08:13.
:08:13. > :08:20.Definitely the best entrance I have seen on Strictly.
:08:20. > :08:23.The feeling was unbelievable. Dumbo springs to mind.
:08:23. > :08:28.Dumbo was the elephant with the big ears.
:08:28. > :08:36.It was such entertainment, it is just a shame he can't dance.
:08:36. > :08:43.I loved that bit when she was behind the screen. Up it went.
:08:43. > :08:53.You are a little ball of fire. for me, spiced up my night.
:08:53. > :08:55.
:08:55. > :08:59.I'm glad I spiced up his night. You lost it with the whole kick
:08:59. > :09:06.section there. But amazing.
:09:06. > :09:13.If I'm honest, I'm a little disappointed. I think the occasion
:09:13. > :09:17.overwhelmed you, but otherwise amazing.
:09:17. > :09:23.I got back to where I needed to get back to so that's the main thing.
:09:23. > :09:33.Who would have thought it, top of the leaderboard, joint top Alex
:09:33. > :09:38.
:09:38. > :09:41.An unforgettable night, but who got your votes and and whose Strictly
:09:41. > :09:47.experience will end here. The experience will end here. The
:09:47. > :09:57.results are in. In no particular order the first
:09:57. > :10:00.
:10:00. > :10:10.couple through to next week is... Anita and Robin.
:10:10. > :10:21.

:10:47. > :10:57.Alex and James. Yes!
:10:57. > :10:58.
:10:58. > :11:03.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well done.
:11:03. > :11:13.And now in the bottom two tonight and in danger of leaving the
:11:13. > :11:15.
:11:15. > :11:23.competition are... Russell and Flavia.
:11:23. > :11:26.The rest of you will have to wait to learn your fate. Bruno, it has
:11:26. > :11:29.been a shock result tonight. Is this a turning point in the
:11:29. > :11:35.competition? Are you surprised to see Russell and Flavia in the
:11:35. > :11:43.see Russell and Flavia in the bottom two? I am and I am not,
:11:43. > :11:47.Russell is right up there at the top for entertainment. This is a
:11:47. > :11:53.dance competition and it gets really competitive and technically
:11:53. > :12:02.he is far below some of our best dancers. So I do understand both
:12:02. > :12:04.points, but if he has to go, I will really miss him. I will miss him.
:12:04. > :12:07.APPLAUSE Will Russell with fired from the
:12:07. > :12:17.competition? Over to Claudia. I have three
:12:17. > :12:19.
:12:19. > :12:23.ecstatic couples with me here. So Anita, look at your face. No. No.
:12:23. > :12:27.You were in the bottom two last week and your little face when Tess
:12:27. > :12:32.said your name. I was called out first. Thank you.
:12:32. > :12:35.Thank you. Thank you. APPLAUSE
:12:35. > :12:40.Did you think this might be your time to go? I thought, you know,
:12:40. > :12:43.maybe, yeah. All week I have been thinking, but this guy got me
:12:43. > :12:48.through so I'm really happy. Thank you.
:12:48. > :12:56.Congratulations. Robbie, how was it for you opening the biggest show
:12:56. > :13:02.Strictly has ever done? Were you terrified? Did you love it? But it
:13:02. > :13:05.was the most amazing experience. That was Better than playing in a
:13:05. > :13:10.Carling Cup Final in front of 100,000 people.
:13:10. > :13:14.You are adorable. You know, I was one of the most
:13:14. > :13:16.most hated footballers in the world, but the public must be doing
:13:16. > :13:24.something for us. Thank you very much.
:13:24. > :13:28.You look emotional. Don't cry, Robbie.
:13:28. > :13:32.You are so sweet. Alex, joint top of the leaderboard.
:13:32. > :13:35.What happened? Were you over the moon? I am not often speechless,
:13:35. > :13:41.but that was one of those times. The Strictly experience has been
:13:41. > :13:51.superb, but I never thought nine would be even possible. I didn't
:13:51. > :13:57.
:13:57. > :13:59.think a seven would be possible! LAUGHTER
:13:59. > :14:00.What bigger way than to celebrate being at Wembley than a performance
:14:00. > :14:10.being at Wembley than a performance from the mighty James Morrison and
:14:10. > :14:19.

:18:16. > :18:22.surprises for the gang. First up, this is you, lovely Craig, arriving,
:18:22. > :18:28.flying through the air. Here is a close up. Ah, that is delightful.
:18:28. > :18:35.Look at you properly going for it. Ten out of ten!

:19:07. > :19:08.I have got to tell you, Craig, while Brian was at the judging desk,
:19:08. > :19:18.he recorded a second message for you.

:20:08. > :20:12.running, running. Here we go, here we go.
:20:12. > :20:18.He went or it? He could have ruined his prospects there, I'm telling
:20:18. > :20:22.you. I'm telling you, it was touch and go, if she could have had a
:20:22. > :20:26.crossan or whatever it was, but what a great start to the show.
:20:26. > :20:32.Full on. I believe it is not a croissant!
:20:32. > :20:39.But let's call it that from now. Alesha, let's talk about Jason's
:20:39. > :20:43.jive. Can we look at this bit? Fabulous on time, would you believe.
:20:43. > :20:47.He is incredible. The jive is a test of your stamina and he kept
:20:47. > :20:50.the energy from start to finish. Yes, he made a mistake, but he
:20:50. > :20:54.picked himself up and he carried on and it didn't take away from the
:20:54. > :20:59.fact that it it is an incredible jive to watch. There was a lot of
:20:59. > :21:03.expectation on this jive as well. Closing it in style.
:21:03. > :21:11.The pressure, it was enormous. I want to you talk to you, please,
:21:11. > :21:14.Craig about Harry and Aliona. You liked his armography!

:21:24. > :21:24.
:21:25. > :21:33.Let's look at a slow-mo clip. That's armography. This was
:21:33. > :21:36.fantastic. APPLAUSE
:21:36. > :21:40.When you look at that, do you regret the eight? No, if he had a
:21:40. > :21:45.little bit more rotation in the hip, I could have given him more, but
:21:45. > :21:49.sadly it was missing, the back-step, wean it, Len? It was, indeed
:21:49. > :21:54.Bruno, one of my favourite clips. This is you getting into the medley
:21:54. > :21:56.at the beginning. Look at you. Look at you.

:25:05. > :25:08.Holly and Artem deserve a place amongst them? 100%. Holly and Artem
:25:08. > :25:12.deserve to be in the top seven. They are one of the strongest
:25:12. > :25:16.couples in the competition. They have had a difficult couple of
:25:16. > :25:22.week's with Artem's injury. I hope if they survive that they come back
:25:22. > :25:25.fighting strong because I believe Holly can go go all the way. I
:25:25. > :25:29.don't want her to lose confidence because of this.
:25:29. > :25:33.Big surprises tonight. Thanks, Alesha. Over to you, Claudia.
