0:02:55 > 0:02:59Yes. Mind you, I didn't go mad like I usually do.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I just bought some brandy, a box of cigars and a bit of Stilton cheese.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05As I said to the lady in the shop,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08"It's for the kids, really, isn't it?"
0:03:11 > 0:03:13They're good!
0:03:13 > 0:03:16They're good, aren't they?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19We've got a cracker of a show for you tonight.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22I should have done that as Scrooge, shouldn't I?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Don't do Scrooge! It's too scary. It's Christmas.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27We've got five brand-new Christmas celebrities

0:03:36 > 0:03:39returning to the dance floor one more time.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And they have been great, haven't they?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Haven't they? - They've all been marvellous.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Shakin' Stevens.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52- Oh!- Yes!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55He's performing for us later,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58with a golden, Russell Grant-shaped surprise.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Awww!- We really are spoiling you tonight!
0:04:01 > 0:04:05I'm glad Shakin' Stevens is here. I hope he doesn't pour out the drinks!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- LAUGHTER - Quite!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Especially for Len!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Anyway, you saw them earlier. Let's meet them again.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02How about them?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08There they all are. So many Christmas celebrities.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09And Barry McGuigan is so nervous
0:05:09 > 0:05:13you'd think he was going to get his chestnuts roasted by an open fire.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Don't worry, Barry. Don't worry. It's the season of goodwill.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm sure the judges will force themselves to be kind.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Won't you, judges?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31ALL: Yes.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Wait a minute, where's Craig?
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Help, help! I'm stuck!
0:05:35 > 0:05:36It's a disaster!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38LAUGHTER
0:05:38 > 0:05:41It must be Craig dressed up as Santa!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And he's got stuck up the chimney.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Good!
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Hooray! Hooray!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Wait a minute.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh, my goodness. What's that?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Oh, I love it!
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Oh, I love it!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02You've never been prettier.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03It's the Grinch!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06It's the Grinch!
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I've come, darling, to steal Christmas.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13ALL: Boo! Boo!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Boo!- Boo!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23All I can say is,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27I wish I had some stuffing left.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30LAUGHTER
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Right, let's get on with the show. Never mind all this pantomime.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- I knew it would be like this! - The phone lines are enjoying a festive break.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41They won't be open tonight.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Instead, our studio audience will be voting for their favourites.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Their votes will be combined with the judges' scores.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And they are going to decide this year's Christmas Champions.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- People power!- It's up to them. And quite right, too.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58First up tonight is Simon Webbe and his partner...
0:06:58 > 0:06:59APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Simon Webbe
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and his partner, Katya Virshilas.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I was warned by the producer
0:07:11 > 0:07:14that when Simon Webbe comes onto the dance floor,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17all the women in the audience are going to scream.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18I said, "That's rubbish.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21"He's not that ugly."
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Here they are in training.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Singing hunk Simon Webbe shot to the top of the charts in 2001
0:07:34 > 0:07:37as member of boy band Blue.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Make some noise for Blue!
0:07:39 > 0:07:42My early days with Blue were absolutely amazing.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Apparently, we were really popular.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48In 2005, we decided to take a break.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I went into a successful solo career.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52# No worries, no worries
0:07:52 > 0:07:54# No worries, no worries. #
0:07:54 > 0:07:55See, there you go. They were the words.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59This year, it was our ten-year anniversary.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03We were asked to represent our country in Eurovision, which was a great, great honour for us.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Dancing on the Strictly Christmas Special, compared to Eurovision,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11I think this is going to be a lot more nerve-racking
0:08:11 > 0:08:14as I'm by myself - I haven't got any of the boys to back me up.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16My palms are getting sweaty just thinking about it!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Merry Christmas! - Merry Christmas to you too.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25You can tell how you'll get on with a person in the first 30 seconds.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- What did I say about moving?- I was...- What did I say?!- "Don't move."
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I love being told what to do. Especially by a woman.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33You can stay.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Let's go!- I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying!
0:08:35 > 0:08:39If we're talking about dancing, I'm not going to big myself up one bit.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41But my mother gave birth to a mover.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45OK, let's not do that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- The Strictly Christmas Special is about having fun.- And winning!
0:08:50 > 0:08:53OK, I just had to say the fun part.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I've already practised my disappointing smile.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00And my winning smile!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04That was hot!
0:09:04 > 0:09:06BOTH: Happy Christmas!
0:09:08 > 0:09:13Dancing the cha-cha-cha, Simon Webbe and Katya Virshilas.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:11:01 > 0:11:03How about that?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Wonderful!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Well, Simon...
0:11:10 > 0:11:14All you wanted for Christmas was Katya Virshilas.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17All I wanted for Christmas was somebody like Simon!
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Be careful, be careful.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24While you two take a breather, it's a good time to welcome our fabulous singers,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Dave Arch and his wonderful, wonderful orchestra.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:11:30 > 0:11:34And not forgetting our judges. Welcome, judges.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40And what a festive feast they are.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Craig is the Australian wine.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Len is a trifle - a bit fruity and soaked in sherry.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Alesha is a nice bit of icing on a cake.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55And, Bruno, you're nuts and crackers.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57And, of course...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Well, I've left you alone for a few weeks.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03And we all know Bruno as the man
0:12:03 > 0:12:06who put the mince into mince pies.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08LAUGHTER
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Oh, he's really laughing at that!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Len, what did you think?
0:12:14 > 0:12:19I think, for first on at Christmas... What about it?
0:12:19 > 0:12:23I'll tell you what it was. It was crisp, like fresh snow.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28It was sharp like the air on Christmas morning.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32It was hot like a mulled wine. And, I'll tell you...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Tutti frutti, what a booty! Cor!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Tutti frutti! That's with you for life now.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Tutti frutti, what a booty.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Right, OK. Alesha?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Strong, animalistic and totally in control.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Great movement, Simon. You totally owned it.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00That was a very, very confident performance and you should be proud.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I like that. Yes, I know.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10Animalistic - that was a lovely word, Alesha.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Bruno?- Simon...
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Behave!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19I know it's Christmas. All of a sudden, it feels like midsummer.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Talk about turning up the heat!
0:13:21 > 0:13:23There's a rush to turn down the thermostats!
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Oh, I've had so much hot toddy, I feel dizzy.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Don't go there. Do not go there, Bruno.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Craig, what about you?
0:13:36 > 0:13:40A powerhouse of strength, my darling.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42It was clean, it was sharp.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Amazonian!
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Amazonian. I think we'll finish on that, shall we?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Amazonian it is. It was a wonderful start.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Thank you for doing the show for Christmas time.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59Off you go. Off you go, there. Up the stairs.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09You stand there, honey. He's hot, like mulled wine!
0:14:09 > 0:14:14I was going to say, how's the sweaty palms? I think it's us who've all got sweaty palms now.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Definitely now! That was amazing. - That was amazing.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19You enjoyed every moment of that.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Katya's last dance, this is all down to her. I was just whipped into shape for tonight. Thank you, Katya.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26She did the business, did she not?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- Did your band-mates enjoy that? - I think so. They were the loudest out there.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- I think so!- I think my girlfriend was high-pitched as well.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35The scores are in.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38It's time for the judges' scores.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Craig Revel Horwood...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Len Goodman...
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Alesha Dixon.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51And Bruno Tonioli...
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Four nines from the judges. A very strong score.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59A confident cha-cha-cha from Simon.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Did the studio audience think Simon and Katya served up a fabulous festive feast?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Or will they be left feeling a little bit Blue? We'll find out later on.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Doubt it! Remember, the studio audiences' votes, combined with the judges' scores,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15will decide who takes the Christmas crown tonight.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Later on, it's a good job we kept the receipts,
0:15:17 > 0:15:20because we'll be bringing back the Class of 2011.
0:15:20 > 0:15:26Prepare yourselves for the greatest Christmas medley yet.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Going to be smoking. Back to you, Bruce.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Right! Now for our next couple, Debra Stephenson
0:15:31 > 0:15:33and her partner Ian Waite.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Debra is... She's so good on The Impressions Show.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44I'm sure you've seen it. She does a marvellous Claudia,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46and her Fiona Bruce is amazing.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I said to her, "I met Fiona Bruce once."
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Debra said "Did she interview you for the news?"
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I said "No, she valued me on the Antiques Road Show."
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Shut up! Shut up! LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:15:59 > 0:16:01That wasn't the end of it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02That's not the end!
0:16:02 > 0:16:05And I was a bit worried she might ask
0:16:05 > 0:16:08if there was a date stamped on my bottom!
0:16:08 > 0:16:10That was the finish!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Anyway, here they are in training.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20# That don't impress me much... #
0:16:20 > 0:16:25The many faces of Debra Stephenson have made a massive impression,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27from Bad Girls to Coronation Street.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30But her first TV appearance was way back in the '80s.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33I did Opportunity Knocks when I was 14.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Did people like Cilla Black.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38# Surprise surprise! #
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I can laugh at myself. I have no choice!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44# Surprise surprise! #
0:16:44 > 0:16:47The Impressions Show for me is a job I literally
0:16:47 > 0:16:49did dream of when I was a kid.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52This is...EXCELLENT!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Davina McCall is always the one that I get asked to do
0:16:55 > 0:16:57because people love Davina.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- SHE WHEEZES - Strictly! I love it!
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Oh! Vernon, how sweet!
0:17:02 > 0:17:07Last time I met Tess I was dressed up as her on Children In Need.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Nice impression, Debra. That is uncanny.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10Thanks, I've been working on it!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13After studying Tess to do an impression of her,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16it's going to be quite strange to hear her say,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18"The scores are in! Let's see what the judges say.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21# Jingle bell, jingle bell jingle bell rock... #
0:17:21 > 0:17:26I'm really excited to be taking part in the Strictly Christmas Special.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Call that American Smooth, do you?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I think the American Smooth looks seamless and flawless
0:17:31 > 0:17:34and actually, it's quite a lot more difficult than that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I'm sort of that kind of smooth.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40The louder you scream, the faster you go!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42If feels like you're on the waltzers.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Don't spin me! Don't spin me!
0:17:44 > 0:17:46I've been getting really dizzy.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- And sick.- Hmmm. Excuse me.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54I would like to win for Ian, as a Christmas gift to you.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57If I can keep my turkey down, I should be OK.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00What a lovely ending.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Dancing the American Smooth, Debra Stephenson and Ian Waite!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:11 > 0:18:14MUSIC: "Baby, It's Cold Outside"

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Well done!
0:19:57 > 0:19:59You'd think you've been dancing for years!
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Mind you, what a partner, Ian Waite. Alesha.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Debra, you look gorgeous. Lovely lines, nice turns, good control.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I love the lifts. You look totally at ease with the American Smooth,
0:20:10 > 0:20:11that was fantastic.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:20:15 > 0:20:17And Bruno?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Oh, Debra, Debra, Debra!
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Light! Sparkling! Elegant! Full of flavour!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29A treat for the eyes and delicious to savour.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:20:33 > 0:20:35I loved it!
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Yeah, you should make up your mind(!) Craig?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Nasty, flat thumbs when...
0:20:43 > 0:20:44BOOING
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Gapping you could drive a sleigh through, darling.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00CHEERING
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Good at the end! I was worried for you. Now then, Len.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Like a fairy on top of the tree.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Light and fluffy...- Who are you talking about?
0:21:10 > 0:21:11And as smooth as whip.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17It was... Listen, Baby, It's Cold Outside. You warmed me up!
0:21:17 > 0:21:21And I thought it was a wonderful impression of Cyd Charisse. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- I can't say higher than that. - I asked for Ginger Rogers!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27You asked for Ginger Rogers, you got Cyd Charisse.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29She's lovely. Go on, off you go there.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Debra and Ian!
0:21:30 > 0:21:34APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- The fairy on top of the tree! Gorgeous!- Amazing!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46How many hours training was that?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Just out of interest.- I think we got about...was it eight?- Eight.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Eight hours? Remarkable! - When I wasn't laughing at her!
0:21:53 > 0:21:58You play lots of different roles, but how hard was playing the role of a ballroom dancer? Feel good?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Yes, I've loved it! I've loved every minute of this.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Absolutely fantastic. - Scores are in!

0:22:22 > 0:22:24All you want for Christmas
0:22:24 > 0:22:27is a couple of 10s from the judges! What about that?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29A present! It's a present.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Indeed! now, it may be cold outside, but if our audience thought their American Smooth was hot, hot, hot,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37like the judges, Debra and Ian may be in with a chance of the trophy!
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Still to come a Christmas Hamper chock-full of treats -
0:22:41 > 0:22:47including a case of Sparkling Strictly stars, a fine vintage singing legend,
0:22:47 > 0:22:48and an exploding Christmas pudding!
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Are you looking forward to that, Claudia?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54IMPERSONATES CLAUDIA WINKLEMAN: I, personally, I can't wait.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I hear we have a surprise from The Grant,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59I'm obviously really looking forward to that.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Back to you, Santa Brucie.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Thank you, our lovely Tess.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Time now for our next couple: Barry McGuigan and his partner, Erin Boag!
0:23:10 > 0:23:14APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:23:14 > 0:23:17Barry says his favourite part of Christmas was when
0:23:17 > 0:23:22his little children would wake him up at three o'clock in the morning to open their presents.
0:23:22 > 0:23:29Now they're older, they still wake him up at three o'clock in the morning. Why? To open the front door.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32We've all been there, haven't we? Haven't we? LAUGHTER
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Here they are in training.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44World boxing champion Barry McGuigan smashed his way to fame in the 1980s.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46He's got him on the ropes!
0:23:46 > 0:23:50In 1985 I won the World Featherweight title against the great Eusebio Pedroza.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53McGuigan is the champion of the world!
0:23:53 > 0:23:5619 million watched it on television, it was the greatest night of my life.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01I came home on the Monday - 75,000 people gathered in Belfast to see me.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Then I went down to Dublin. 200,000 people turned out to see me.
0:24:05 > 0:24:11I also went on to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, and it was just amazing.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15What would my boxing friends think of me on the Christmas Special?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18I think they'd probably think, "What an eejit!"
0:24:18 > 0:24:22But do I care? Not a jot, it's Christmas after all!
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Merry Christmas!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29We're dancing the quickstep, so a little block,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32square man trying to be elegant.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Am I tall enough to be elegant?
0:24:33 > 0:24:38- On a good day I'm 5'6. She says you're not.- Size doesn't matter, they say!
0:24:38 > 0:24:43This year, I'm not going to wear high heels. Barry's wearing the high heels!
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- You're destroying my macho image! - I know!
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- On my toes?- There you go. You see? Now we're OK!
0:24:50 > 0:24:54When I turned to look at him, I had to look down there!
0:24:54 > 0:24:56She's looking, "Where's he gone? Oh, there he is!"
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I will never live this down!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I must look such a mutton.
0:25:00 > 0:25:07I'm genuinely looking forward to it. I will be wearing my incontinence trousers and my brown corduroys.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Yes, nice!
0:25:09 > 0:25:11To get it right. That's the goal.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Happy Christmas!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:25:15 > 0:25:20Dancing the quickstep, Barry McGuigan and Erin Boag!
0:25:20 > 0:25:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:26:56 > 0:26:58APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:27:02 > 0:27:03How about that?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06What about you lot? Come on! What about it?
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Barry!
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Oh, let me shake him by the hand.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17And Erin, what a wonderful job you've done with him!
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Well, I knew you had quick feet round the ring, but round the dance floor!
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I tell you, that was sensational.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Bruno, start us off.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30The bells are ringing and you're off faster than Lewis Hamilton!
0:27:30 > 0:27:33More spirit than a well-stocked drinks cabinet!
0:27:33 > 0:27:38Your only stop was stop, change the tyres, refuel and off again!
0:27:38 > 0:27:42I thought it was a fantastic quickstep, well done!
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Absolutely, absolutely. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:27:49 > 0:27:55- And Craig? How about you?- You could do with a little bit more length of bone for this particular dance.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56BOOING
0:27:56 > 0:27:59You lost your balance at the beginning,
0:27:59 > 0:28:04which was unfortunate, your hands do need shaping, sadly, they are very spatulistic.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05You need to spot on your turns.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08The end position left a lot to be desired.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13But great posture, I thought, fantastic rhythms,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16and I absolutely loved the Charleston section into that.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:28:20 > 0:28:22I tell you what, he's only little,
0:28:22 > 0:28:26but if he got hold of you, you'd finish in an end position you'd never forget!
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Now then, Len!
0:28:29 > 0:28:34Knockout, I tell you! You should have danced tomorrow, of course, Boxing Day!
0:28:34 > 0:28:37AUDIENCE GROANS
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- Oh! And the time, my love. - Snow, snow, thick-thick, snow!
0:28:41 > 0:28:43LAUGHTER
0:28:43 > 0:28:46You jingled my bells, well done!
0:28:46 > 0:28:50APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Snow, snow, thick-thick snow! And Alesha now.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58That was surprisingly good, Barry. That was by no means an easy routine.
0:28:58 > 0:29:04It was full of content, you did have good posture, great timing, I thought that was wonderful.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Don't you want to go a few more rounds?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- Maybe a drink!- Maybe a drink!
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Go and have a drink, wonderful!
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Barry McGuigan, Erin Boag there!
0:29:15 > 0:29:18APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Look at you go! That was phenomenal!
0:29:24 > 0:29:29Craig taking the mickey out of your hands? Let's see those fists. That's Barry McGuigan's hands!
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Not your usual Christmas Day activities, fair to say, Barry.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36No, different kind of dancing. Normally I have somebody chasing me.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41This gorgeous girl was trying to show me round the floor. Absolutely brilliant, she's been so good.
0:29:41 > 0:29:47So patient, such a great coach, and I couldn't let her down, so I'm glad I performed reasonably well.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Great little student there, too. - He is fabulous! A wonderful dancer.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55Would you like to add the Strictly Christmas Trophy to your pile of Christmas presents?
0:29:55 > 0:29:59- I'd love that title, it'd be great. I don't know that I'm in it to win it.- Come on!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I've done my best, so, with a bit of luck.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Let's see the scores.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05The judges' scores are in,

0:30:19 > 0:30:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:30:21 > 0:30:2536 and a Christmas gift of a 10 for you, Barry McGuigan!
0:30:25 > 0:30:27Well done with the quickstep!
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Barry and Erin well and truly punched above their weight,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33but will this boxing champion become a ballroom champion? Find out later.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34Oh, yes please!
0:30:34 > 0:30:40Lots of festive floor-fillers still to come, but will they jingle your ballroom bells? Back to you, Bruce!
0:30:40 > 0:30:46Thank you, Tess. Our next couple tonight is Su Pollard and her partner, Anton Du Beke.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:30:48 > 0:30:50What a pair!
0:30:50 > 0:30:52They were made for each other!
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Made for each other! During rehearsals yesterday, Su gave me this three-foot-long sock.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02I said, "Is that for all my presents? She said, "No, it's to keep your chin warm."
0:31:02 > 0:31:04LAUGHTER Not funny!
0:31:06 > 0:31:11If that wasn't enough, Su then asked me if it was true that I'd been a Redcoat. I said,
0:31:11 > 0:31:15"Oh, at Butlins?" She said, "No, at the Battle of Waterloo."
0:31:15 > 0:31:17LAUGHTER
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Ahh! Ahh!
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Here they are in training.
0:31:26 > 0:31:32Style icon and comedy legend, Su Pollard has been entertaining the nation for decades.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34I don't care, as long as they laugh!
0:31:34 > 0:31:39I'm probably best known for a situation comedy called Hi-De-Hi.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41It's me, Peggy!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43And I've also done You Rang, M'Lord?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46And I've also had a singing career, which I'm very pleased about.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49# Taking a chance on what we feel
0:31:49 > 0:31:51# We're starting together. #
0:31:51 > 0:31:53That got to number two in the charts.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58It was marvellous, I was in this beautiful pink woollen hat, made out of a jumper.
0:31:58 > 0:32:06People ask me about my style quite a lot, and I like to think that I was Lady Gaga's mentor, bless her.
0:32:06 > 0:32:13In terms of, shall we say liveliness and campness, I think I was born to wear a frock on Strictly.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18I've just got to smile a lot and give people 90 seconds of fabulousness.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Hooray!
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- That's it. Where are you going? - It's going awfully well.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28She's the finest dancer I've ever danced with, ever, to date.
0:32:29 > 0:32:36Su epitomises foxtrot for me. Elegant sophistication and subtlety.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I've got a terrible cold. Have you?
0:32:40 > 0:32:44It's unusual for me to be dancing on Christmas Day and not on a table,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46either at my own house or some dive somewhere.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50What are you like? This year I might even win!
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Even if we don't get the chance to lift the Glitterball,
0:32:54 > 0:32:59our spirits will have lifted because we'll have thought, "We've done it!" Hooray!
0:32:59 > 0:33:04- Thank you! Merry Christmas! Goodbye! - We'll see you in the bar!
0:33:04 > 0:33:07APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:33:07 > 0:33:11Dancing the foxtrot, Su Pollard and Anton Du Beke!

0:34:57 > 0:35:02Su Pollard, my angel!
0:35:02 > 0:35:05How about... What a pair together!
0:35:09 > 0:35:11She's not a sack of coal!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13It's a Christmas gift!
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Before anybody says a word, Su, you're my favourite.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:22You are! You are, how can you not be?
0:35:22 > 0:35:27Anyway, Craig...Oh, wait a minute, I don't know whether we should start with Craig!
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Oh yeah, well, get it over with.
0:35:30 > 0:35:37It did lack some fairly fundamental and essential points within the dance.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Elegance, grace, style, fluidity.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42BOOING
0:35:42 > 0:35:45You also did go off on the wrong foot.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Why did you say that? Wrong foot? That put me off immediately,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52I couldn't get on the right one then, could I?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:36:03 > 0:36:09- On behalf of the British public... - Gi's a kiss. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13I've been dying for somebody to do that! I've been dying for somebody to do that!
0:36:13 > 0:36:18- You were wonderful, Su, there. That will shut him up.- Oh, we had a laugh!
0:36:18 > 0:36:22- Len, what do you think? - Su, you came out initially,
0:36:22 > 0:36:28like the Snow Queen. White and gorgeous. Then, the metamorphosis.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32You turned into this gorgeous Christmas tree.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37I couldn't see anything that Craig said. And then, all the time,
0:36:37 > 0:36:40you had Anton like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
0:36:40 > 0:36:46guiding you round the floor, I thought it was a sheer delight and I loved it.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- Alesha.- I want to give you an extra point just for attacking Craig!
0:36:55 > 0:36:57APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:36:57 > 0:36:59We all do, we all do!
0:37:01 > 0:37:03It was done with affection!
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Su, honestly, we're used to the comedy element with you, and I thought you were elegant.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- And lovely! Like a lovely Christmas tree.- Thank you.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19- You've got me in the Christmas mood. - Oh, I love Alesha!- Well done!
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- OK, Bruno.- Oh, I love you, Su, because you've got such range!
0:37:23 > 0:37:28You've got such range! You can do it in so many different ways!
0:37:28 > 0:37:34You started, crackers on the sledge. Then you went all smitten kitten on the dance floor.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38You gave body contact, you were literally glued to Anton! You didn't let him go!
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- He kept saying to me, "Get a bit closer."- You did! You liked it, actually.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46It was ever so good though, Anton's been so fantastic.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- There's a mantra, what was it? - Long and slow.- Long and slow.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- Long and slow.- Long and slow.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55It's a bit late now, love, let's be honest!
0:37:55 > 0:37:57LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:37:57 > 0:38:02You've got plenty of guts, Su, you've got plenty of guts!
0:38:05 > 0:38:10Your rehearsals must have been hysterical! I wish I could have come along for a laugh.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Funniest girl I've ever met.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Anyway, if you'll just take her up the stairs.- Oh, hello!
0:38:16 > 0:38:17LAUGHTER
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Not those kinds of stairs!
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Take her upstairs, to your regret!
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Go on, up you go!
0:38:25 > 0:38:28APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Come up here.- What a beauty. - That was more than 90 seconds of fabulousness!
0:38:42 > 0:38:46But you know what? Anton's been so good and my big thing is that
0:38:46 > 0:38:49I've got to do what he said because he's worked so hard with me.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51And I know what I'm talking about.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- You do.- You were great though. I've had such a ball. You want me to stop speaking. Good luck.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- LAUGHTER - I've had such a ball with you, you are completely brilliant.
0:38:59 > 0:39:06- Bless you, darling.- And you did not let us down on the costume front, Lady Gaga eat your heart out!
0:39:06 > 0:39:09- But you look pretty damn good. - You look amazing, Tess, I've got to tell you.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13We're hoping for Hi-De-High scores, from the judges!
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Ladies and gentlemen, the judges have their scores.

0:39:37 > 0:39:3930 out of 40, well done, you!
0:39:39 > 0:39:42I haven't had 30 for about four and a half years!
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Craig is off the Christmas card list.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49We've heard from our judges, but will our studio audience think Su and Anton's foxtrot
0:39:49 > 0:39:50was a spectacle to behold?
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- Nice. Absolute beauty.- We'll have to wait and see. Thank you, Anton. - Pleasure.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Our stars of 2011 may be sitting comfortably for now -
0:39:57 > 0:40:02but not for much longer - they'll be back on the dance floor at the end of the show.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Fancy a twirl round the dance floor, Brucie?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Any time you like, my darling.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Right, time now for our final couple, Charlie Brooks
0:40:10 > 0:40:12and her partner, Vincent Simone.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14CHEERING
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Now then, Charlie told me that this year the EastEnders cast
0:40:21 > 0:40:26will be having a traditional Christmas at the Queen Vic.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30I said, "Exactly what is a traditional Christmas at the Queen Vic?"
0:40:30 > 0:40:34She said, "A booze-up, followed by a knees-up,
0:40:34 > 0:40:35"followed by a punch-up."
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Here they are in training.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Actress Charlie Brooks has won countless awards
0:40:46 > 0:40:48for playing evil EastEnder Janine Butcher,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51terrorising Albert Square since 1999.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53What can I say? I'm ambitious.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57I got the casting and got the job when I was a mere little 17-year-old.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00I think the key with Janine is people love to hate her.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Or generally, they just kind of hate her!
0:41:03 > 0:41:05I don't give a monkey's!
0:41:05 > 0:41:09She's mean. I don't think, and I hope, that I'm not like that.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11I just got away with murder.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13How do I feel about taking part in Strictly?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15I feel secretly really excited.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17It would just be really nice
0:41:17 > 0:41:19for my nan and grandad and my little girl
0:41:19 > 0:41:23to see me be happy on Christmas Day and not trying to kill someone!
0:41:26 > 0:41:31- We're having a good time, aren't we?- Yeah! I'm loving it.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- We've got the chemistry. - He's such a flirt!
0:41:33 > 0:41:38Look at the state of her! Look at the eyes. All over me.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41It's Christmas, so we're going to have a crowd-pleaser moment,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43so I'll do an illegal lift.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Should we not play by the rules? I'm a safe sort of girl.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48The rules are made to be broken.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52I'm just saying, you've never won, that's all. So...just throwing it out there!
0:41:52 > 0:41:55There's more than a few things I'm nervous about.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- Why are you stuck now, all of a sudden?- I've got cramp!
0:41:58 > 0:42:02You'd think he'd make me feel better and more comfortable, wouldn't you?
0:42:02 > 0:42:06I feel like I'm going to look like a big...elephant.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08You don't. Well, you do a bit.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Everybody is going to have just eaten a massive Christmas dinner.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Hopefully, we'll inspire them to get up and move their bodies.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17They have to. We've got an amazing dance, full of energy,
0:42:17 > 0:42:21and we're going to transfer that energy into the people's house.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- That was well said. - Give me some skin!
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Dancing the jive, Charlie Brooks and Vincent Simone.

0:44:51 > 0:44:54and pure fun. Well done!
0:44:58 > 0:45:00That was a sexy Santa!
0:45:00 > 0:45:04You were flickering like a flame, a real tiramisu,
0:45:04 > 0:45:06which in Italian means "pick-me-up" and I tell you,
0:45:06 > 0:45:11that jive got everybody up from their sofa to celebrate!
0:45:11 > 0:45:12Happy Christmas!

0:45:56 > 0:46:00- We haven't been able to breathe! - We still haven't recovered yet!
0:46:00 > 0:46:01So nice to see a smile.
