Week 3 Strictly Come Dancing

Last weekend, our Strictly staff lived life to the full. It was

party politics in the ballroom. There was dancing on the top table.

You couldn't wipe the smile off their faces. You put the boy in

flamboyant. But one was driven to the exit. Ahmed Qureia and Vincent.

Tonight, hail a yellow cab to the Strictly Broadway Spectacular. Our

13 stars are giving their regards, and then some. # It's time to play

the music # It's time to light the light. # Why do we come back here

week after week? We'll never know. You would be a Muppet to miss it,

this, is Strictly Come Dancing on APPLAUSE APPLAUSE This is Strictly

Come Dancing! It's a Broadway Special. Please, welcome our

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

O in e Live, from television centre,

please, welcome your hosts. Oh! Can we go any further? Is that

it? I was going to put it right up there, somewhere. Do, sit down. It

really is embarrassing! In a way! Right, good evening, ladies and

gentlemen, and children. Welcome to Strictly Come Dancing, it's nice to

you, to see you, nice! And it is nice to see you tuerbgs b rrbg uci

-- it is nice to see you, too, Bruce, nice to see you tue.

And we have Broadway this week. There is Robbie Savage, he could

star in Hairspray! And Dell, Mamma Mia!! Tonight, we will be having

lots of razzle and dazzle in the ballroom.

We have our 13 remaining performers meeting to give it their all to be

the top of the bill. We wish them all the best luck, we

wish them all to break a leg. It is time to meet the stars of our

show. Yes! Astrologer to the stars, Russ

and his partner, Flavia Cacace. Lulu and her partner, Cole.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

Marvellous! Well, there they all are. In the mix you will find a

talented Australian, a very popular senior citizen, a gorgeous young

pop star and a steamy man-eating Italian. Hang on, a minute, that

sounded more like the judges. Well, tonight, our critics, the

judges are to score the Broadway routines and the celebrities ranked

on the leaderboard. The scores are combined with your votes, one

couple must exit, of course, stage left.

If you are a digital viewer press the red button for live commentary.

Up in the Gods, there is Karen Hardy and Henry Winkler.

He is cool. I've never been so hot in my life.

Our first couple is Holly Valance and her partner, Artem Chigvintsev.

Now, I was chatting to Holly earlier, she was telling me about

the big three sports in Australia. I said which? She said team sport,

individual sport and Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport sport! You

promised you would laugh at that. Any way, here they are in training.

Just before last week's show I got a nice feeling of calm, rather than

sheer terror. So I felt like I got to have a bit more fun with it on

stage. He is like a formula car, with all of the top of the range

equipment, but there are a few gremlins to tune out.

My job is to sell my performance. I could use Jason as inspiration,

last week he was amazing to watch. So I have to put my game face on a

little more. This week it is Broadway week, we are doing a song

from the musical Chicago. I open up in this lovely cage. Go to prison!

I'm meant to be in a jail cell for killing my husband! Working in

Moscow, life is very hard! I was excited to put my student into the

cage. I quite a many teacher. Not eight, seven! Keep moving the hands

away, thank you. If she doesn't do the step right, she has to stay in

the cell. Artem is tough in the training room,

he pushes me very hard. Watch out this week, I may just get

my revenge on the dancefloor. Dancing the tango, Holly Valance

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

You liked that?! Holly, it is over! I didn't recognise you first of all.

I tell you. That was great, well done.

Now, whilst you two get your breath back, it's a good time to welcome

our fabulous singers, Dave Arch and his wonderful Orchestra! And of

course, a welcome to our judges! How could we have a night of

theatre without them? And when I look at them, they remind me of

some great musicals. Bruno is Footloose and probably

fancy free! Alesha, is, of course, a Dream Girl. Len, eats Spamalot!

And right at the end we have got There we are, Len, what did you

think of that opener? Be still, my beating heart! Full of smouldering

intensity. As you cut him from the jail, I saw the blood swelling in

your bosom. I saw when you caught your heel in the prop, you didn't

let that phase you, on with the dance. It was a great start and a

great dance! Well done. You are getting into it now! You

Alesha? Chicago is one of my favourite musicals, sexy, feisty,

dangerous. You were definitely sexy and I could see the actress

emerging in you, especially when you were behind the bar, fantastic.

I was hoping it would be a little more feisty and I don't know if it

was when your skirt got caught in your heel, but it lost a little bit

of intent for me. Just at that section, but you picked it up.

right then. Bruno? Don't worry, Holly Smoke, you got me going!

Tantalising. I want to be a criminal! Everybody can queue up to

join you in jail. You are a gorgeous girl and I love the way

you approach your dance. Of course, there was an incident, and because

of that, after a turn, you lost a bit of balance, but God you've got

promises. Plenty! Tell you one thing, Bruno, I don't

think you'll be on a promise! Craig? I really like the bold,

strong story-telling, thought it was full of drama and drive. I

would have liked to have seen a lot more tension however throughout the

entire body. Also, cleaner and sharper, finishing lines. That's

what makes a tango interesting. But what I think is fantastic is

getting out of the costume scenario, it was a bit messy but you got out

of that beautifully. And I very much enjoyed it so thank you.

Wonderful, Holly, be proud about that. Well done Holly and Artem.

Come on Hols, what a smouldering first act! Good job Artem

remembered the key though, so relieved! Kicking off the Broadway

special in front of ten million viewers, a standing ovation in a

packed house. Not bad is it? It's a great start. Wonderful. Holly or

Roxie should I call you? Roxie for today. Roxie for today. Artem

sometimes gives you a hard time in training. Was it quite satisfying

No, he's a delight! Have you seen the terminator in action. Was it

satisfying to wipe him out at the end? I did enjoy killing him.

Revenge is sweet. Let's hope the Great score. Very strong start for

Holly and Artem. Jot down the number and call later in the show

if you think Holly should get a repeat performance next week. Don't

call until we tell you lines are open. The couple with the lowest

combined judges' scores and fewer votes will be Leighing the

competition. We are running on with the show. Back to Bruce.

The next couple, Dan Lobb and his partner Katya Vishilas. Dan was

telling me all about being a breakfast presenter. He said, all

you have to do is get yourself in front of a camera and read all the

words on the autocue. I said, really, I said, that's so simple,

any idiot could do it. He said yes, Bruce, you do.

If he was 12 inches shorter, I'd belt him one. Anyway, here they are

in training. I was super happy with the

performance. We didn't mess up any tricks or lifts and I tried to give

it as much as I could. You were swinging her round like a bag of

cement. It was lumcesuous. Craig's going to continue making up

words, he's going to lose some credibility. He doesn't have any

credibility, so he should just carry on. What we are doing now is

called the fleckerl. No, you are like Craig, making this up. It's

been another hard week. The hours on day break have caught up with me

a little bit. My hip flexer. I should be taking more care of my

body than I am. I'm not getting any younger. A twing. This week, the

music is uplifting. -- twinge. Katya's an actress so I'll take a

lot of tips from her. Yes, I can act. Look at this!

Then back to that! I've got some tall ens there... I think.

Dancing the vee niece waltz, Dan Lobb and Katya Vishilas -- vee

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

Lovely, lovely. You needed a rest. That's a

strenuous dance, that. The Viennese waltz is a killer, really is.

Beautiful. Even loved it. Alesha? Dan, you have so much potential in

your ballroom dancing and certainly look so much more comfortable in

hold. To be honest, generally, you move well around the floor, but I

would have liked to have seen a bit more fluidity overall in your

movement, it just gets a little bit stop-starty. But generally you move

well and I think you will get better.

A bit stop-starty. Bruno? Damn, this is Somebody To Love, Queen,

the emotional musical little, this song should carry you into another

world and you look like a casual acquaintance of Katya. You should

be on her tighter and maybe it's because I had the privilege of

working with Freddie Mercury, for me, you didn't really capture this

at all, the spirit of the song. It was adequate, but for me, I wanted

a much more love and intensity into it. It's not terrible, but a

personal thing. Now then, Craig? You have an awkward nature about

you, generally. The first hold, in that first arm thing, something

went wrong there, I don't know what that was meant to be. You don't

dance between steps and I mean, when you're in the in hold and when

you're out of hold, you stop dancing, you stop dead, you've got

to continue the dance all the way through the movement. Hand shapes,

you need to look at. Your shoulders half way through started rising

further until you had no neck at the end.

And the standing spin was also very flat. You needed to get up on your

toes. Len, control yourself?! come to praise Dan, not to bury

him! Oh, yes! I thought your frame was

good, footwork overall was good. You're a very tall chap and it's

difficult. You're not an actor, you know, some of these judges want too

much. It's Broadway Week. You are supposed to interpret a character.

OK, hold your horses old sausage, will ya! OK, you are not the

greatest actor of a dance, but you're all trying to get through

the dance as best you can and I think that's what you did. So well

done. Thanks, listen. And it's only week

two. Off you go. We thought it was great, Dan.

Off you go, up those stairs. APPLAUSE

Go, Dan! Star turn tonight. You are a leading man on Broadway. How did

it feel? Felt good. This one felt like we were actually dancing.

the drama and the romance, we don't get to see that on Daybreak, do

you? If you look closely, there's something between me and my

colleague on a daily basis. He's not showbiz but he's getting there.

Give it your best and see what happens. The scores are in!

24. Happy with that? Yeah. number to call is on the screen:

If you're desperate for Dan to grace the dance floor next week,

ring. You would like that, Dan, wouldn't you? Of course, who

wouldn't?! Back to Bruce. For our next couple, Anita Dobson and her

partner, Robin. Lovely Anita. Gorgeous.

Let's find out how a West End star's been getting on with a

Broadway Jive. Here they are in training.

Last week, I felt disappointed in myself because I felt I could have

done better. I looked like a little doll on acid.

It was like Bonnie Langford being chased by a dalmatian. It's good to

be having that stuff pointed out. We are doing a jive to a song from

hair spray. You are going to so be in hair spri. As a cleaner...

help her get in the mood, who help better to help her than Leanne

Jones from Hair spray, the movie. She was adorable and brought us a

goody bag. We need a blue bow as well. Getting into the hair spray

spirit. Leanne being here I think is what I personally needed. She

actually could explain what it felt like to perform that number. This

is the chorus, motion on the ocean or the sun in the sky. Leanne's

given an extra charge that we needed. You can't stop the beat...

Can't wait to see how they do on Saturday, hopefully tens all round.

I hope we do OK and whatever happens, we are going to sell to it

the hilt! Dancing the jive, Anita Dobson and

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Look at these people, look! Anita,

look at these people. Well done, Anita. Why didn't you

have a jive night at the Queen Vic, you would brighten them all up, so

miserable there. You have brightened it all up. Your

performance level and character essentially is always great. The

thing though, on the jive, you have to be a little sharper and your

timing sometimes wasn't quite there. Maybe you were taken by his quiff,

looks like dancing with a cockatoo. A bit more precise and cleaner on

the kicks and flicks, yes. For me I thought it was messy. On

the kicks and the flicks you have to straight.your legs, point your

toes. Pick up your feet a little more, but I loved the

characterisation, I thought that was brilliant! APPLAUSE

Now, then, Len? Three words, fun, energy ic, tern takening! APPLAUSE

And, we'll finish up with you, Alesha? I don't think the people at

home will give two hoots that you didn't point you toes. You came out,

performed it, it was entertaining and you lit up the room and you

should be proud! You're a dramatic actress, I'm so proud of you, the

way you had a go. Thank you again, off you go, the pair of you, lovely.

Off you go! APPLAUSE Come on, you two! Just tell me

where you have hidden robin? It is his alter e gorbgs o.

Our leading lady, -- It is his alter ego.

Our leading lady, did it help? did help, but I need to work more

on my technique. Well, the jive is the quickest

dance so far, how did you find it? He dances so fast on his feet.

You didn't break a sweat, Anita! 27 out of 40, happy with that?

bad. Now, remember, one celebrity must

leave the competition, they all have to put in show-stopping

performances tonight. No pressure, guys.

No-one wants to flop on Broadway, isn't that right, Bruce? That is so

right, Tess, well, I can't hear, can I? There is another famous

Jones here tonight, my famous singer Jack Jones! APPLAUSE

He is over here for a few weeks. Welcome, Jack, it is always lovely

to see you in this country. Now, for our next couple, Alex Jones and

her partner, James. APPLAUSE

Now, during her routine last week, Alex sat on John Prescott's lap! I

told Alex that John had to go to the hospital after the show. She

asked if she had hurt him, but I said no, no, he needed a plastic

surgeon to get the smile off his face. We don't see him smile much,

do we? No! Here they are in training.

After her left and right problems, Alex is finally heading in the

right direction. Alex, you can dance, you just have

to believe it. Nobody has said that to me. I'm not convinced yet. No,

you are not. Controlling the nerves is an issue.

We have having fun in the studio and she gets into here and it is

like... Skapgs scream! ALEX NEVER SPEAKS ABOUT BEING Alex never

speaks about being nervous in the training room. I have been going to

skpreem tactics. I really don't want to go in here.

Are you nervous? Jirbgs if I go wrong, try leaving! Don't you do it.

I will kill you. I was terrified, standing in the wings, but I really

enjoyed it. Not many people can say that they have danced on the West

End stage. They all started standing up. I thought they were

leaving, but they stood up and clapped. I'm so pleased that is

over. Maybe we can do it every week, well, not every week.

-- dancing the Viennese waltz, Alex MUSIC: Memory

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That was great! Look, leek here,

look behind. It was great. When you did that at the end, I thought that

AnneWiddecombe was coming out! Craig? That was clever, James, that

was simple, uncomplicated, she is in hold, it gives her ever

advantage. The only thing I would say is I would like to see it be a

little more daring, that is the only thing, but I have to say I

loved it. I really loved it. Craig loved it! Settle for that.

Don't go any further. Len? It was simple, but it was simply

beautiful! Thank you. I know the rugby, the Welsh rugby

team didn't win, but I tell you, tonight you're a winner. That was

great. Beautiful. I saw a tear in Len's eye, there,

Alesha? Absolutely beautiful, Alex. For me, you are the most improved

tanser. You looked elegant. Dreamy, you kept your composure, you told a

story, it was wonderful. Lovely.

Bruno? Alex, those open figures, it was like watching a magical bird,

stretching its wings for the first time, ready to take flight and

taking us all into a wonderful, wonderful ride. It was, as Len said,

absolutely beautiful in its simplicity.

Thank you. I would settle for that. You can't

ask for more. Get off quick before they change their mind! Off you go!

APPLAUSE Come on, Alex! Wow! Unforgettable!

Thank you, Tess. Alesha says most improved. Do you

remember where you were a couple of weeks ago? Well, Bambi! James is a

great teacher. What do you think, James? I agree!

About Alex's progress? She has improved immensely. When she said

she had never danced, I thought everyone has danced before, but I

realised she had not. She has come a long way.

Come a long way in a short time! The scores are in! Ladies and

gentlemen the judges have their Yes! What about that, then? 32. You

have to start believing now. You are a dancer. Well done, Alex and

James. Come on!

Now, don't go dialling yet as the lines are not open.

Right, next up. Next up we have Rory Bremner and his partner Erin.

Do you know, Rory even does great impressions of sportsmen. I said

what about Wayne Rooney? Can you do an impression of him? He said yes,

he kicked me in the shins! Come on, that was a good joke! I'm waiting

here! That's it, now the applause should have stopped... Then! Right!

Here they are, in training Rory Rory left a lasting impression on

the judges but for all of the wrong reasons.

You were wrong. It was like a sticky strip.

He was right. Shall we go again! The thing about me, is I am a bit

of a chameleon, I like to adapt and look the part, but I will have to

learn to have to be a slightly calmer chameleon.

No! What is that? Erin wants me to have a top hat and a cane. I get

frustrated. I can't do it at this stage.

I have to say to him to calm down and put all of that energy into his

feet. I know I shouldn't beat myself up, that is Craig's job.

This show is getting madder and madder. Last week it was John

Prescott, this week it is blier blier blier, thank God it was him

and not Tony. -- Lionel Blair, thank God it was

him and not Tony. He knows what he is doing,

hopefully on the night so will I! Dancing the quickstep, Rory Bremner

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Rory Bremner! Rory, don't miss this

moment. I tell you, well done. I loved the Charleston bit. Well, I

tell you what, Fred Astaire did not turn in his grave, but I think he

may have fidgeted a bit! Len, start us off.

You, on Broadway, that was it. The right song, the right style, the

right routine. Your best dance, well done, Rory! Thank you.

Don't leave Erin out there. Alesha? You really enjoyed that,

didn't you, Rory? You held the character of the dance from

beginning to end. The timing was great, the framing was great. The

quickstep is your dance. That is your dance.

Erin is the best, but that was fantastic.

Bruno? All of the razzle and dazzle of the great white way, Mr Showbiz,

but just be care wfl the trout pout! -- but just be care wfl the

trout pout! Craig? Talking about trout pout! Now, I didn't mean

that! I didn't even read it, it came out of my head! I'm sorry to

put a dampner on this, but the hands, you are leaning over,

Redcarin and the posture is not great, but, it was full of style,

it was full of panache, it was full of confidence, I think you did a

brilliant job. A brilliant job, how about that! Go

on, Rory, go on, Erin. Go on up those stairs! APPLAUSE

Here comes the quick sterp! We tip our hat, Rory.

Well, I owe it all to Erin, she is the Queen of ballroom. I owe it all

to her. Did you like it up there? I loved

it. It is a classic look. You inhabit the suit.

It suited you. Lionel Blair helped you out. He know as little bit

about Broadway, did he give you any tips? He was wonderful. He said he

was more nervous than I was. Thank you very much.

The number to call later: Till co-come, our ballroom guys,

Robbie, Harry, Audley, Jason and Russell. And, girls, Chelsee and

Nancy. It's razzamatazz time! Razzamatazz Tess! Our next couple

is Lulu and her partner, Brendan Cole! Yes, now, Lulu, last week,

she danced in front of a massive big mirror, nine feet tall by four

feet wide. I said to her, she said to me rather, I wonder where it

came from, I said my bathroom, I use it when I shave my chin!

Now that's not funny. That is NOT funny. See, the good jokes you miss

and that joke you have a go at me. Right, I'm getting angry now. Her

they are in training. -- theer they are in training.

Last week, I was nervous. Absolutely beautiful. I breathed

deeply. Focused. I think it really helped me. You played it with the

emotional fragility of a teenager in love whose heart was just about

to be broken. What an improvement on last week. Well done. Great

improvement. I'm like a cluts. week we are doing the most

beautiful track of music from the Phantom Of The Opera. I can't do

this, I can't. I'm not anywhere near elegant. No-one's expecting

you to be Braille yant at the moment. -- brilliant. I need to

change her mindset. You need to go, boom, boom, boom. Bren Brendan

decided to bring in some masks today. Do you think this will give

me inspiration to dance. Oh, Andrew, you've never been better. Whether

she gets it on the night is another story.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

Dancing the rumba, Lulu and Brendan CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yeah, you did it, baby! Lovely, Lulu. Well done, my darling, well

done. Look at them here! Oh! And the music and the singing, it was

all so beautiful. Magical, thank you so much, guys, just amazing.

And the singing was gorgeous. Absolutely. All right, we are going

to start off with you, Alesha? felt really nervous for you, but

you did it again, a great story and you told it brilliantly. It was

romantic and you played it with sensitivity and you are elegant.

Don't let me hear you say that again! You are very elegant.

can't believe how good you are playing that person being seduced

by the dark, is she going to give in and deliver at the end of the

story. I was expecting a rock chick and you are so lyrical and fluid.

You missed a few passes because the choreography was very, very

difficult, but otherwise, very well done. Thank you. Thank you.

about you, huh?! Craig? Illegal lifts will not be tolerated, I'm

afraid, and will be penalised and I think you are playing with fire. I

think you're doing your celebrity a disservice by putting them in.

Otherwise everyone can do it. are, from your point of view with

that music, would you have done anything other than that? Yes, I

would have stuck to the rules. Actually, you know what happened,

Craig... They're the rules of ball rooment -- ballroom. We talked

about it and discussed it and that was the best thing for the dance.

My granddaughter wanted it in, she watched us when we did it and went

"yeah", so we wanted it in. Len? You have to break eggs to make an

omelette and sometimes you have to break rules to make a routine

complete and that's what you did. Thanks, Len. Every week you've got

better and better. Well done. are getting better and better.

Emotion and story-telling. Hello, Broadway! Here I come...

A Phantom-inspired rumba, the dance of love. Who thought you two would

be doing that a few weeks ago? Patrick Swayze. I feel like

Jennifer Gray. That's where we went wrong, she was in the wrong

blooming musical. It didn't go wrong, that's the point. It's so

inspiring, Phantom Of The Opera, the choreography and to teach Lulu

it, I had a great time, thank you very much. You said you couldn't do

it, you did it Lulu, you go, girl, the scores are in! The judges have

It's a decent score. Call when the phone lines open later if you want

Lulu to come back for an encore next week. How does that sound?

granddaughter would love it. Ready for more star turns, ladies and

gents? They're off. Ready, Brucie? Next tonight is Nancy Dell'Olio and

her partner, Anton. Now, Nancy came to my dressing room

earlier today and said, I'm very upset, Bruce, everyone thinks I

fancy you. It isn't fair. I said, can't we talk about this later,

Nancy, there isn't enough room for us in this wardrobe. She was all

over me. I hate to be hunted. Anyway... I love to be hunted

really. But here they are in training.

Everybody will see what happen tonight. Last week, I felt very

proud. Not because it was perfect, it was not perfect. I didn't look

down at any stage, but I could feel there was a bit of kicking and

smuttering going on. I loved it, for the judges it was another story.

Absolutely no idea where you went. What counts is the people loved it.

Pull me up... This week, we are doing tango from a musical. If you

try to resist, I'm going to use this. I'm trying to take control.

No, we do this first... No, we do this first. You can go your own way.

At the end, because he's very smart, he knows that my ideas are better.

I'm going to invite the Italian ambassador to come to see the show.

You get your guest list sorted out, I'll do the choreography. I haven't

gone with her ideas because they're rubbish. Don't get me wrong, I

don't mind her way. Your feet near my head? Are you mad?! She's not

the right one. It's impossible. Dancing the tango, Nancy Dell'Olio

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Come to Brucie! May I say something.

You invite me to come to your dressing, I do not remember?! I

mean, unbelievable, just for my reputation. There's another show

going on over there! Come here, you naughty boy. I know I did invite

you and you came to my dressing room No, you invite me... I know I

did. We've done that! I think... You were really the tempestuous

tempt res, I love the bit on the chair, peekaboo, you see me, you

see me not. It actually looked like a tango and you actually looked

like you can dance. Carry on this way, much, much improved! OK, OK,

OK?! Gracia! Craig? I don't know what Bruno was

watching. She was better. Darling, it was like a plodding mule

trudging through mud. The only accents were when you threw her

into her position. That is plod ck accents, they're in the music which

we try to accentuate. You have to recognise an improvement when it's

visible for us all to see. Len, Len, I'm sure... It was so terrible last

week, anything would have been a blooming improvement. There was

lots of style, but no substance. I'm so disappointed. I'm not giving

him a putt again. Never ever after this. Alesha? I liked the intro,

the drama, you were totally in character, I loved the story-

telling, so I applaud you on that, but you knead to strengthen your

body from head-to-toe but it was an improvement from last week.

improvement. Don't listen to them! I'm going to make you my favourite.

Thank you, Bruce. Off you go, my Come on! Come up here, you two.

Magnifico, Nancy. At least there was great story telling.

Yes, but he tried to finish the story.

They kept talking! I tried to finish it off at the end there. I

was trying to steal a kiss! Were you really? I didn't mean to

interrupt that stkhrap Wow, goodness me! You were not supposed

to kiss me back, what's the matter with you! I think we'll go to the

20 out of 40. Which bits of the dancing worked

best, then? Yours or Nancy's? Nancy's! Call later if you want

Nancy to be flying around the Thank you, Tess. Time for our next

couple, Audley Harrison and his partner, Natalie.

Good. Now, after being in the bottom two last week can Audley,

with his size subpoena shoes, impress with the quickstep? Let's

find out. Here they are in training. Despite being up on the judges'

scorecards... You look like you have a bit of groove going, and a

bit of hip rotation. Audley just about managed to save

himself from the knock-out row. Keep dancing, Edwina, keep dancing!

It is Broadway, we are doing the quickstep.

Our song is called Too Darn Hot. I think that Audley will be

definitely feeling the heat. You know how intense your boxing

training can get? Yep. I thought I would step things up a little bit

this week, are you ready to sweat? Yeah, let's do it. Mr Harrisons

what are you doing? We're not here to relax, we are here to dance!

This is about 100 degrees, this crazy girls has me running, I'm A

Celebrity Dancer and dancing in 100 degrees. You can see how hot it is

here. I am working really hard. This week we don't want to be in

the bottom two. No pain no, gain! Dancing the quickstep, Audley

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

Audley! Well done. Thank you.

You did a great job there. You are right, it is too darn hot

in here as well. Craig, start us off? The timing was out in the

beginning. All of the Charleston sections you have to put a lot more

energy in to. It let the side down. I thought it was much, much lighter

than I had anticipated. I thought you would come out heavy,

but I really loved all of the acting through it. Well done.

Great. Great. Len? This was a little dangerous,

that little slide through, you could have ruined your prospects

there! Now, listen, it is a dance to, which, from up the top you are

joyful and full of verve, but it is from the waist down you have to get

better in the footwork, but I have to say, I agree with Craig, ha-ha!

I do agree with him. Alesha? There was a lot of great

footwork, I clearly commend you for that. You have the right attitude

for the competition, you are a hard worker, but work on the feet and

get a bit of spring in your step, but for a big guy, you didn't do

too bad. Come on, I think he did incredible

serve boards and he has to navigate one of the most difficult dances in

the ballroom show. He did remarkably well.

Audley, you did very well. You are my favourite. You are my favourite

too! Come on, then. Yes, Audley. Come on, my love. Too darn hot it

looked darn quick! Well done. You are a huge heavyweight boxer, you

are not used to moving your feet that quick? Not at all. I did say

at some point I would trip over my feet. That was today.

Is it true, you are now back to your fighting weight? I am coming

close. I have lost a stone. It is getting Strictly Fit. The

Bottom two last week, Audley, you don't want to thereby again, do

you? No. We don't. We tried to work really hard this week. I feel good

about the dance. Go on, Audley, give it some.

Now, our next couple is Robbie Savage and his partner, Ola Jordan.

Now last week Robbie got a standing ovation. He was over the moon. I

said to him when was the last time you saw a crowd stand up and cheer

like that, he said when he got sent off! He told me he used to carry a

red card in his pocket, in case the referee forgot his. I thought I

would say that, I don't know why. It is like working in one of those

rotten clubs. Any way, here they are in training.

# Today this could be # The greatest day much our lives...

# I have to say that was one of the best nights of my life. You little

beauty! I'm telling you! I thought Robbie was going to start crying.

It was really lovely for him. was showbiz and I loved it.

judges' scores have given me the belief I can get up to 29. Can I

continue that? I will have to wait and see.

We had Robbie's kids coming into training. They were so sweet.

Seeing the kids gave me a massive lift. This week we're dancing the

tango. One, two! I cannot spin. That is horrible. Even one spin, I

don't know where I am. This could turn into Sickly Come Dancing! I am

a bit of a big girl's blouse! never heard anyone mooning so much.

It is hard this week. Seriously. Hard, mate. Knackered! Is he

telling you how hard it is? That's all I hear all day! This is

incredibly hard! Dancing the trangow, Robbie Savage and Ola

Jordan. -- dancing the tango, Robbie Savage

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

Robbie! Look, two weeks running! You did it again, son! Ola, what

are you doing to this man?! Right, Len, start us off, please? Robbie

the Savage attacks the tango. You did. You came out with great intent

it was full of attack and aggression, which is basically what

the tango is about. You were saying it is hard, it is hard. No-one said

it is easy, this process. It is hard. You have to work and get

through it, but I tell you what, that was a great effort. Well done.

Thank you. Alesha? Yes, Robbie, you should be

proud. This dance suits you, bundles of attitude and passion.

You came out and strode around the floor with intent and determination,

you are fast becoming one of the strongest contenders in this

competition. Bruno? Robbie, what can I say?

Mamma Mia! Here you go again! How can I resist you?! Stronger and

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Do you know the rest of that?

now! I can carry on if you want though. I could have done without

all that singing, darling. Full of aggression, Len's absolutely right,

it was full of purpose, had attack, it was assertive. Well done. Robbie,

You're a contender now! Strictly Come Dancing here we come! Was it

hard? Yes, but as Len said, I've got to get better. These are great

people here. You are Robbie Savage's hard man from football and

here you are dancing to Abba. Better than last week. Pick up the

phone later and call to keep them in and you want Robbie to dance

again. Show us your teeth, Robbie. There

they are! Still to come, Russell and Jason

and Harry give their regards to Broadway, yes!

But will they get critical acclaim from the judges? We'll find out.

Back to Bruce. Thank you, Tess. Our next couple is

Russell Grant and his partner, Flavia!

Now, after two weeks of impressing the judges with his moves, can

Russell shine with the foxtrot? I wouldn't be at all surprised. Here

they are in training. Last week, Russell embraced his

role as high Queen of the dance floor and I think he enjoyed

himself! Oh, was I in my element, it was like having porridge with

maple syrup. It was that delicious! You put the boy in flamboyant.

I'll take boy! I'll take flamboyant!

Absolutely loved it. Fantastic. A standing ovation again. Amazing.

When you are doing a number like Don't Rain On My Parade, you

shouldn't be in a place like this. Don't stay there, come with us. How

are you, darlings? The Savoy. I played this one. We can't even go

shopping now without breaking into a cha-cha-cha. It's it divine!

Welcome to my world, Flavia, darling. Give me a theatre and I'm

so happy. Oh! It's just so fantastic. How have I lived without

all this for so many years? Just makes you want to go into a number,

doesn't it?! Dancing the foxtrot, Russell Grant

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE What about him?! You've done it

again, Russell, look! Look at them. A superstar is born! Oh absolutely,

can't stop smiling, oh, what can I say? Do you sell ice-creams?!

Alesha? Showbiz, Broadway, ballroom, what can't Russell do?! You are my

guilty pleasure, I absolutely adore you and I just want to say, it's so

refreshing to have a celebrity contestant who's so positive and

grateful to be in this competition. No, I love that. He never moans

ever! He's a sweetheart. You are right? Russell, you have the

uplifting quality of blazing sunshine. It was a very good

foxtrot. You went from funny girl to gypsy Rosie Lee. You did it

beautifully. I tell you, I've enjoyed it so much. Thank you!

then, Craig. Don't look so severe? I would advise a more masculine

Excuse me... Pot and the kettle! little less Barbie and a little

more Rambo. You were like a little white cloud drifting across the

floor and your little yellow dicky was the sun! Last week you put the

boy in flamboyant and this week you put the show in show business.

Len, thank you, thank you, very kind, thank you. Go on, everybody

APPLAUSE I don't think anyone could rain on

your parade right now, Russell, I really don't. No, no, I just love

it. I just love everyone out there! I love everyone in here. It just

gets better and better doesn't it, musical theatre, right up your 4

2nd Street? It was. I had a funny do in the middle, I wanted to

become Barbara Streisand and sing the number, you I thought to myself,

no, I'm just going to play in butch but it never worked! Never mind.

Better luck next time. The scores are in.

Ladies and gentlemen, the judges Well done, Russell and Flavia.

The number to call when lines open Remember, if you want to see our

celebrities face the music and dance again next Saturday, they'll

all need your votes. Back to you, Brucie.

Now, time for our next couple, Jason Donovan and his partner,

Kristina. For tonight's dance, Jason is

taking his inspiration from Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert. He

starred in this West End show as a female impersonator. I said, what's

it like having to put women's clothes on every night, he said, it

can be a bit of a drag! I love it! Love it!

You're getting better! You can't get worse... Here they

are in training. I have to say, I didn't expect it

to go as well last Saturday, if I'm really honest. Can you be top of

the leaderboard two weeks running? I think so. Getting the nine from

Alesha last week was a very special moment. Well done, babe. Give me

five. It's Broadway Week. We are visiting a musical in which I spent

18 months in. Hello. Hello. I'm going to take Kristina to somewhere

special. Kristina, I don't have to say too much. You know, welcome to

Priscilla. Let's go. This week is a wonderful opportunity for Kristina

to come into my world. Kristina, I'm ready. I can't believe my eyes.

Dressed for the occasion, to tango. I just looked at him... There's

someone I want you to meet. Priscilla. Never seen anything as

camp as that.: she'll get fun, feathers, frocks and tango.

I hope she has fun. Dancing the tango, Jason Donovan

MUSIC: I Will Survive APPLAUSE

Well, there they are! Standing ovation. Oh, I tell you, that was

wonderful. Come here! Come here! Absolutely great. Wonderful. Thank

you. Oh! I was trying to remember, I saw you in that show dressed up

as a woman. Did you, Bruce? Yes, I thought it was Dame Edna! Bruno?

Jason, you will more than survive, you will thrive. Look at you,

strong, powerful, aggressive, driving and then camp as Christmas,

brilliantly back into character, takesing us to a fantastic ending.

Fan-tas-tic! What about that? Yes, I think I can

follow that with three sill billions stu-pen-dous.

I'll call you the midwife because you keep delivering!

Good one! That's a great one. Alesha? Incredible tango with a

twist. Kristina, so clever, Jason keep blowing me away, well done.

Kristina was spot on, spot on. you go. Be proud! Thank you so much.

Thank you. Wow! That was fantastic. Amazing.

Audley's left his high heels over there on stage!

About a size 70! Strictly leading man, Strictly

Broadway special, this is home from home for you, isn't it? Look, the

audience just drive you every night and people at home, for all their

support, has been absolutely amazing, but I have to say,

Kristina's choreography tonight was spot on in terms of the change of

character, you know, it's trying to find the theme in the song, but I'm

amazed. Thank you. Thank you so much. Top of the leaderboard for

two weeks, do you think you did enough to do it again? I don't know.

The scores are in! Time to get the 36 out of 40! It's looking like it

might be a hat trick! Call when the lines open later in the show if you

want the boy from oz to survive into next week and dance again! In

tomorrow's result shows, we'll see the second couple leave the

competition. Don't worry yet, still two star turns to come, Chelsee and

Harry, but will they bring the house down? Let's find out, brutey.

We'll find out, Tess. Don't worry. Next up, it's Chelsee Healey and

Now, Chelsee is very young and trendy. She told me she went to see

that wonderful mblgal, Wicked! I said how was it? She said Wicked!

She just kept on. Wicked! Now, I can't stop myself! Here they are in

training. Before the show I was feeling very

nervous and my legs like jelly. came out and it was full on. Calm

down, dear! I think that I do get excited and it make most me lose

control. So I do agree. I put my all into it, so I felt on a high

after. This week it is Broadway Week, so we are doing the ch-cha.

My gran loves the show and loves Pasha, so I thought I would invite

her to training. I do quite like him. 7 I'm going

for it. It was great to find out that her grandmother loves to dance.

Now I need to keep up with the grandmothers! She is better than me.

I have never, ever not once seen my gran dance properly, but she pulled

it off. She was fabulous. Now I can't wait it show her the dance on

Saturday night. You're my favourite! Dancing the

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

khaHcha -cha it is Chelsee Healey What happened? That was wonderful!

Magnificent. There you are, Chelsee. Lovely,

darling. Look at them, they adore you, that was Wicked! I can't stop

myself! Right, Craig? Your timing, energy and spirit of that is

absolutely fantastic! However... Oh,? It is very haphazard, very hit

and miss and just too disco, sadly. She said that was OK! Len? I've

just written down you need to take more attention to the details of

the dance, but what I love, you come out and you give it some welly.

You don't mess about. You come out and go for it. Just work on some,

you know, you have a step called the Cuban greats and lovely strong

footwork and Pasha, she is fidingling about. You know what I'm

saying? Yes. Chelsee so close to being a great

cha-cha-cha, no-one can deny that you come out and sell the dance,

but the guys are right, you have to tighten up a few little things and

you are a joy to dance. I love watching you! Bruno? Chelsee focus

on the positive, the cha-cha-cha is cheeky, saucey and playful. You

have all of that, you little tease! Right, get off quick! Pasha, you

are doing a marvellous job. Up you go, there.

It was tricky! Come on, my little darling. What a night, Chelsee.

Alesha said you sold it and you are a joy to watch. Do you reckon that

your gran is proud? I hope so. Is she watching? She is there.

Pasha, you turneded in another stunning front of house performance.

What do you think of her? I think Yes! 30 out of 40. A great score.

Look at those legs going. I guess that means you're happy with that.

The phone lines are opening later, you will get to have your say

shortly. Back to you, Bruce. Finally, it is Harry Judd and his

partner, Aliona. Come on, Harry. Let's have it, Harry. Now, Harry

said to me earlier, he was dancing to a song from the musical, Grease.

I said oh, Tell Me More, Tell Me More! Yes? Right! Oh, the last one.

Here they are in training. When we came down the stairs at the

beginning of the show, I saw Tom and Dudley at the front of the

seating. I had to concentrate on Aliona and really concentrate.

You could be fantastic. If you swing the camera around that

way, you will see why it is hard for me to be interviewed.

Everyone wanted to be a T-Bird once in their life. When I was 16 I

auditioned to be a T-Bird but I didn't get that, so now is my

chance I tri that Daniel Gimeno- Traver is a big -- I think that

John Travolta is a big Strictly fan! I left Harry a note to help

him come with mow and get in character.

, "Come prepared, Aliona .". I never thought I would be doing a

jie pretending to be Danny Zuko, but I'm doing Grease and now I know

how John Travolta felt. Dancing the jive, Harry Judd and

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 180 seconds

There they go again! Look at them. Harry, look! Did you get that after

a drum solo? Never! The last four routines have been incredible. Len,

what did you think of Harry? Larry, I'm impressed. Lovely sharp kicks

and flicks. I would have liked a little less messing about, if I'm

honest, but overall, I tell you what, I'm very impressed, and

that's your best dance. Well done. Aliona, what you are doing with

this guy is marvellous. Alesha? Yes, there was a lot of

messing about, but I liked it. Harry, it is so good to see you

letting go and having fun. When you were driving you were right on the

money. I have nothing bad it say. Now we know at that Alesha like as

bit of messing about. Bruno? All growsed up, leather

pants, rippling muscles and action- packed expressions, I almost hate

you! But... A very good performance! Thank you! Be careful

of Bruno in the bar, darling! Harry, you have finaly arrived.

What about that ?! Was that it? That's enough. From him that is

great praise. Off you go, it was wonderful. Wonderful! APPLAUSE

Well done. Harry, that was hot! Thank you.

Do you reckon you might get that part of Danny Zuko if you audition

for it now? Well, I had so much fun and that is the most important

thing to me. It is really scary, but if you can go out there and

enjoy it is the most important thing.

And do you think that the jive suited you? I hope so. I had so

much fun. I think it suited him, did you,

ladies and gentlemen? APPLAUSE We love it, Harry, the scores are

Ladies and gentlemen, the judges' 33 out of 40, happy with that? It's

a great score. What do you reckon your band mates

made of that routine? I think they are at home watching and hopefully

cheering. Maybe a Grease covering in the

future, perhaps? With me singing and dancing! Yes, do it all, Harry.

Call this number if you don't want this T-Bird to fly the nest.

What about you, guys? Do you want to be here next week? Yes! Right,

that's it. All of our couples have given everything in our Broadway

spectacular. Let's have a look the at the leaderboard. Up there in the

have your say because the phone Line es close at 8.45 tonight. What

time's that everyone? Yes, quarter to nine there, you go. Voting

reminder of the show stoppers and Wow! Wow! Thank you all. What a

show. Thank you. What a night. We have had a

Broadway smash delivered. Sadly though, the celebrity with the

lowest votes from the viewers, combined with the celebrity judges

will make the final curtain call. Pick up the phone. It could all

change. Nobody is safe. It could be you. Tess and Claudia will bid a

fond farewell to another couple tomorrow and I'll be back at 6.25
