Episode 10 Strictly - It Takes Two

I$$NEWLINE Hello, and welcome to Friday night's It Takes Two. It's

nearly the premiere of Hollywood week. I'm going to grab some of the

stars to join me on the sofa tonight. It's Kimberly and Pasha. I

love what you're wearing. You look gorgeous, darling. Also tonight,

Lisa and Robin ready to take on Tinsel Town - you look gorgeous,

beautiful, lovely, and ladies and gentlemen, showbiz royalty, ladies

and gentlemen - it's Dionne Warwick. APPLAUSE

Welcome. And I think I recognise the feather boa - Nancy Dell'olio

is back. APPLAUSE

Ciao, bella. Muah! Beautiful. What's a red carpet event without

you! And later I'll be popping in to see Colin and his partner in an

exclusive peek at the Argentine tango. This is Strictly Come

Dancing: It Takes Two - oh, the # There is no business like show

business - # Hello, and welcome to It Takes Two.

This weekend our A-listers will be starring in their very own block

burst on the dancefloor but for one couple it won't be feel-good. Oh,

no. It will be more of a Hollywood tear jerker as 13 become one sad

face. He's very sad. I'll be chatting to them in a moment, but

first, here's a recap of how they fared in their foxtrot. I like it.

Obviously, I loved the routine. The only thing that did bother me,

however, was your jaw. It was really protruding forward.

beautiful mood you created, Kimberly. I loved the style. I

loved the performance - very, very pretty. I thought it was limp. I

didn't feel there was enough conviction in the dance. Six.

Loads of things that didn't feel like as good as they should have

been, so - it's fine. I can take that. Oh, don't cry, little

Kimberly. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Kimberly and Pasha.

Oh, bless you. We're going to talk about the tears in Joe first, this

week you have been poorly. No, I had some sort of virus. Yeah, it

was a little bit annoying, but we still managed to rehearse lots.

she soldier on, Pasha? Absolutely. Yeah, we got the hours in, and I

feel much better today. Good. Thank goodness for that. 26 last week for

your foxtrot. Most people think that's a really good score, but you

were a little bit sad. I wasn't sad about the score, actually. It was a

really good mark. It's just that I messed up a few things, and I

didn't feel like I did my best. That's why I got a little bit upset.

It's silly. It's terrible because you train all week. You get it

perfect in the dress run and then a little thing... Exactly. It just

felt like it fell apart a little bit to me. That's why it was

disappointing. How did you feel - Len - I think he was trying to

encourage you but he was quite harsh with you. He said you've got

to do better than that. Did that hurt? You know what? I can't

remember really taking the comments on at the time. All I was thinking

is I can't believe I missed a step. That's all I could think, but yeah,

when I watched it back, obviously the comments were a little bit

harsh, so I could have done better. I think I've just got to take it

and improve this week. Which I know you will. On the positive side,

Craig said it was gorgeous, and he loved I, and that from Craig...

They have sort of reversed... reversal. I thought it was a good

dance. Yeah, we loved the routine, didn't we? We really enjoyed

rehearsing it. How did your girl do on the night? She did great, but

she's so self-critical. Really? Yeah. She keeps drilling herself. I

don't know. It's a girl thing. How do you get her out of that? How do

you get her straight and focused? He's good at that. He makes me

laugh all the time. Get over it, come on! All the cakes! I had a

cake for you, but I it a it, sorry. Chocolate helps. Chocolate helps -

remember that. Now, Craig did mention your jaw. Yes. Didn't he?

Pasha, what did you make of that? was inspecting that issue from all

the different sides, I didn't find anything wrong. I was like, I

really don't need to starve - my jaw - a I've got enough things to

worry about. You know, I was really nervous, and I could see that on my

face, and I was, like, clenched. It's like locked? Yeah, it was more

that, and obviously, we're still working on our position in ballroom

and stuff. So yeah, I can improve that. That can be dealt with. It

hasn't gone unnoticed to our It Takes Two voles that Kimberly is a

fan of this - here is an Audrey Hepburn classic. It Takes Two's

Funny Face starring Kimberley Walsh as the girl with the showbiz smile.

So cheesy! Kimberley Walsh as the girl who looks a little bit

confused. What was that face? Kimberley Walsh as the girl who

pouts a lot. The pout goes out straight away. Kimberley Walsh as

the girl who is quite dramatic - sometimes.

We need to work on that. Also starring Pasha Kovalev as the

professional dance instructor. You'll love Funny Face - not coming

to a movie theatre near you soon. Ah, I love that. That's so cute.

This week let's move on from last week - Hollywood, you're dancing to

a Judy Garland classic from MGM. Yes. We've all seen it -

# Come on, get happy # - I love this song. I love there

song. I am so excited about our dance this week. It's a quickstep.

How quick is it? Pretty quick. not that quick. Is she good.

keeps saying it's not that quick. Of course it's quick. It's a

quickstep! But the song is so slow. He's pretty good at quicksteps -

remember you and Chelsea last year? He's got a really great routine.

Are you going to make Len proud this week? You know what? I really

will try, but mostly I want to enjoy the dance this week. It's

such a fun song, and I just want to be in the moment. Is Cheryl coming?

When is she going to come? She's going to come soon. She keeps

saying, "When can I come?" You're back on tour soon. Thank you,

Kimberly and Pasha. So on Saturday cinder Ella got to go to the ball

as Lisa and her very own Prince in a vest, Robin, impressed the judges

with their Viennese waltz. Here's a reminder of what happened. Adam, I

thought you were fabulous. In hold, you've got to work on - come and

see me after the show. Oh! What I love about you - we're always

getting full-on entertainment. It's like a mini-series. It was graceful,

and the man should lead, darling. You give a beautiful energy.

APPLAUSE Six. Seven. See? He's leading me.

I'm not leading him. I've got to be a girl and not a boy. You were a

lady, a leading lady, shall we say? Please welcome Lisa and Robin.

APPLAUSE I'm disappointed that you're not in

a vest - slightly cut out at the sides but... It's Hollywood for you.

You have to scrub up a bit. Did you enjoy playing a Princess last week?

Oh, I loved it. We did tell a story in what we were doing in the dance.

It was great. I had to be very lady-like, which I tried my hardest,

but we enjoyed it. It was good fun, wasn't it? Yeah. A few judges'

comments about you leading Robin but then when Karen came in from

Choreography corner, she said she was pleased with you because you

made a little mistake and caught up with yourself. Yeah, that there

when I went around, I missed the grab of his hand. I know what it is

now. When I get nervous on a Saturday night, my arms go solid,

and they completely lock up, and that's what it looks like. I am

just dragging him with me. "Come with me, boy!" Your cha-cha-cha

will go down in Strictly Come Dancing folklore for incredible

choreography. How are you going to top that now? You know what? My

brain has been working overtime working on something clever. I

think tomorrow I might actually go one further. Really? Watch this

space. That is a huge build-up. It is Hollywood week this week, and we

notice you two have been very busy getting into the mood. Check out

your very own lo-fi production of Batman and Robin.

# Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah nah, # Batman! And Robin!

# Batman! # Batman #

Ah! Huh! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Oh. I thought you were going to

kill me at one point. I was. Hah!

# Batman! # That is so good. That's a keeper.

So this week it's not Batman. It's Dick Tracy for you two. This is

their music. It's Imagine - the hanky-panky, so good - are you good

at finding your inner imagine? girl doesn't want to dress up like

Madonna on a Saturday night? It's great. I am loving it. We have a

mock photo alert. This is what we think you might look like Saturday

night. I have lost more weight than I thought. Tell me a bit about your

jive. Are you loving it? How fast is it? It's insanely fast. This has

nothing on the cha-cha. There is a step on every move and yeah, we're

definitely breathing very heavily at the end. Last week I think we

kind of saw that, you know, with Denise and James, then with Michael

and Natalie the jive is really good when it's kind of in sync. Are you

managing to stay in sync, the two of you? So far, so good, but I have

to say if one of us misses one step, it's all over. That's it.

fingers crossed it all goes well tomorrow. It's so in sync. It has

to be that way. Otherwise it's all over. I think it will be glorious.

Also we saw from Denise it's quite dangerous, the jive. Have you had

any injuries? It's a sore subject, but yes, I have three corns. My

professional dancer... I didn't want to know that! No, I have. I am

a young girl, and I have. Robin keeps whingeing... Does he tend

to... No. You don't go near them. That surely must be a dancer's

worst nightmare? I have spent most of my life with corns. I think

you're going to be great on Saturday, my little jive bunnies,

Lisa and Robin - with corns. Oh, dear. Last week, Jimmy was just a

bit off with his productions and Sid Owen didn't top the leader

board. Let's see if he can redeem himself and if his animal instincts

have improved. (Playing the theme to The Pink

There you have it. He thinks Kimberly and Pasha will be top

scorers on Saturday night, but will he be right? Who knows. If he gets

it wrong, three weeks. If you missed it, the otters were very

Hooray, the otters. Now it's time to welcome a panel - this is going

to be special - who between them know more than a thing or two about

song and dance. Let's hope so. Please welcome Nancy Dell'olio,

Rufus Hound and singing legend Dionne Warwick. Holy Moses! Holy

Moses! Look at you sandwiched between these two. Honestly, if I

have to work with these two one more time! Every week, week in,

week out... Bless you. Welcome to the show. Dionne Warwick, welcome

to the show. Thank you. Celebrating Well done. You've got a

commemorative album out at the moment. Does it have all our

favourites? I certainly hope so. Any new special little numbers?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, there are four. Really? Yeah, two written

by Burt without Hal... Bacharach? No, just Burt. Because he's just

some bloke called Burt then. Songs I'd never sung before, but

wonderful songs. We'll check that out. Rufus, you're to take to the

stage I believe. I am. I am doing a tour of One Man Two Governors.

you playing the James Gordon Pub? If you want to make it more

crippled with fear, yes, I am. Nancy, panto for you? No. Just

kidding. I've just been missing you so much. I know. Thank you for

coming back. We shall talk more. Let's talk more about the dancers.

That's why we're here, after all. Lewis and Flavia will salsa. Do you

think the two have what it takes to top the leader board again? Could

be. I met, actually, Louis. We were on TV together a few weeks ago.

Flavia is great in salsa. She is a great teacher. Their music will be

this - # I had the time of my life #

The question is are they going to do the lift? Yes, they are. It was

in the paper. Have you seen Dirty Dancing? I have. Do you think

anyone can recreate the magic of Swayze and Jennifer Grey? No.

only saying what we were all thinking. Let's talk about Richard

and Aaron and their quick-step. This is what they're going to be

dancing to. # Working 9.00am to 5.00pm. This is

a bit camp! You were doing the red button last week with Karen, so

you're very well aware of Dicky's work. What do you think? Is he

going to be able to stay out of the bottom? This suits him more than

the jie. As long as they don't dress imin his nan's blind curtain,

he'll be fine. Right. Let's talk about Vernon and Artem. They're

doing the Charleston. Vernon exited on this dance last year, Chelsea.

Do you think looking at the practise, will he avoid a similar

fate? I think she's definitely looking good. Is he looking good? I

don't know. I can just listen to you all night. Definitely. I am

sure they'll do very good. And Artem is a great teacher. She's

looking very good. We like that the music is spectacular, possibly the

song of the night. # It's

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious I have always felt the warmth of

Britain maternally through the screen, and that's what you want

from a Poppins. It is a sort of slight cuddly mother character.

Yeah. You know, the dance... Dionne's gone. She loved that.

had me practise it in rehearsals. It's - 90% of dancing is from the

neck up. That's the thing with Fern. When you look at her, you think,

you're loving this so much. I found that was true of Jonny and Lisa

last week as well. I think those who bring it from there are going

to get more votes. They enjoy it. Nancy, how can we forget, you

actually left the show after your rumba. It was very, very special.

It was. Will Victoria have more luck, do you think, looking at

this? I'll take that as a no - maybe a yes? Possibly a thought...

I loved my rumba last year, but it's so - too little to say, so

we'll see - we'll see tomorrow. Leave it open. If she can bring

that to the live show, she'll be fine, but last week, I don't know.

It just looked like somebody found a wounded bird... Carrying her

around. And were trying to drip feed her Weetabix. No, but he has

done dancing. But he hasn't danced... Dancing prowess,

Addalia... You two discuss this in the bar. Jerry and Anton will be

doing a quickstep to this music. # Here's to you, Mrs Robinson #

Dionne, Jerry Hall here, used to be married to Mick Jagger, she played

Mrs Robinson on the stage. Do you think she'll be able to bring out

the best in this dance? Um, she certainly has the legs for it, you

know? She has great legs, good pins. Do you think her acting ability

will help her on the stage? It will need to be. I think Anton is the

only dancer on the show that is actually older than... Benjamin is

older than Mrs Robinson - this is going to work! I like the twist

you're putting on it. Sid and - she loves you! Sid and Ola are going to

be doing the tango. They got in trouble for their timing. Do you

think it will be any better this week? Here's the music

# Going down the only road I have ever known #

If you've got that music, it could be electric. The thing is it is

going to be on him. He can pull it off, though. You have to remember,

he's 40 years old. Is he? I thought he was 32 or something. Age again?

Let's not good ageist. How many 40- year-old men have you seen dancing?

A few. I realised as I looked into you're eyes a flicker of "Don't ask

me that question." I'm so, so sorry. Gavin, calling in the Argentine

tango. This is the snippette. What do you reckon? Is that going to be

a Dionne Warwick? What do you think? He's hot. He is! I'll tell

him you said that. Um, I'll tell him too.

LAUGHTER So good! So good. Right. OK. And

Nicky and Karen will be doing the quickstep this week. He's had two

dodgy weeks. Can he bring it back, Rufus? What do you think? What is

it we need from Nicky we're not seeing so far? I like him. Is it

that he's got a Venezuelan partner, and she's like, "I care nothing for

these rules, vivala revolution." You want a lift, throw her in a

lift. You want a boy band? Go for it. Don't give her a hard time.

am sure she's lovely, but that is going to be the problem. In the

early weeks, you try to separate the wheat from the chaff. Len will

praise him... You're so good. How do you know so much about this

show? I have watched this since the beginning. Really? Yes. Very

impressive. Very quickly, he's dancing to this music -

# Hey, hey! # Do you think it will bring out the Jim Carrey

performance? You have to watch the show tomorrow. I am really looking

forward to it. I am assuming you'll be taking these two ladies out this

evening for a drink? Oh, more than a drink. Oh, my goodness me. Yes. I

hope you like hamburgers! Dionne is performing on the results show on

Sunday night. Good luck with that. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Possibly the best panel we're ever going to have - Dionne Warwick,

Rufus Hound, Nancy Dell'olio. So all of those three weeks, and it

seems the bond between our couples are growing stronger and stronger

and stronger. Take a look. I love you all. I really do. When you sign

up to something like this, you know you're going to have to work

closely with your dance partner. You have to trust them and be

patient with each other. She has been all of that. It hasn't

surprised me how close I am to Vincent because he's such a lovely

man and absolutely hilarious. The only thing I want out of Saturday

nights is to do Vincent proud. Kristina, everybody keeps telling

me she's a task master. I don't see that at all. She's kind. She's

gentle. She's brilliant at what she does, and I think she's the

greatest teacher going. The thing I love about James is James really

cares. He's a bit of a maucho man - he thinks he is. He's actually

really, really lovely. Flavia has been amazing. She has been working

me hard. She has been trying to mould me into this dancer. Anton

and I get on very well. He's very charismatic. He's a wonderful

dancer. When you see people take to the

floor and do it, you think, I wish, and she's given me the chance to do

that. I have never met anyone quite like her who is so nurturing and

gracious. She's an extraordinary woman. Yeah, I love her. She's

wonderful. Pasha is such an amazing partner. He's very kind, very

patient. I feel really grateful that I've got a partner like that.

How often do you walk into a room, meet somebody who is pretty

gorgeous and a quarter of a century younger and within a flash you have

your arms around each other? He has so much faith and hope and trust in

me. I'd hate to disappoint him: We're getting on great. We feel

completely comfortable with each other. It is a little bit like

brother and sister. I really couldn't wish for a better partner.

It's definitely surprised me how quickly I have bonded with Brendan.

We get on really well. From the minute we met we had a laugh. I

think we're going to be mates no matter what these feet do. I would

be nothing without Robin Windsor. He has flipped me upside down with

his complete brilliance. He makes me laugh so much. For me, someone

who makes me laugh is a friend for life. I couldn't imagine my life

without her now. I wouldn't swap him for the world. I wouldn't

choose anyone else. Kristina is my girl. I couldn't imagine being with

anyone else. He's my bloke. As it's Friday, OK, big nose into the big

studio - had a little peek because in 24 hours' time this little

corner of Shepherds Bush will be transferred into a Hollywood

wonderland to dance for your votes again, and look who I found - it's

Colin and Kristina. Hello, lovelies. First, can I say you have stolen

the hearts of many of my female friends - not naming any names -

Laura and Tracy. They love you. How much did you enjoy your veenez

waltz last weekend? Oh, I loved it. It's one of the reasons I wanted to

do ball room I can throw down, but that was something else. I hope we

get to see you throw down before the end of the series. The judges

awarded sixes. You were a little bit disappointed. Yeah, I thought

he deserved higher, but it's early days. Hopefully, they'll warm up to

us a little more and be a little generous. Darcey raved about the

fact that you're good in the ballroom and in the Latin - clever,

Colin. I mean, have you developed a preference for either yet? I like

Latin. The hips. Yeah, I like the hips a bit. But the ballroom, like

I say, is very romantic. I like that. So liking a bit of both. He

has also been commended for dancing to his height - we now understand

what that means. As you two are developing a friendship and a

dancing relationship, is that still an issue or is it getting easier?

It's getting easier. We have kind of adjusted how we need to to work

with each other and what choreography I can do for him. I'm

sorry I can't grow a foot. We can have you stretched! Let's do that

you know. I sort of believe they - people marry. They fall in love.

Yeah, all different heights. It's feign. You're performing

consistently well each time. Would you like to see yourself pushed up

that leader board? Yeah, I am competitive, so yeah, I am working

hard. You have to be. It's a competition. Now, Hollywood week -

surely, as an actor, this is your time to shine, Colin. As an actor I

am sure it's my time to shine, but the Argentine tango is definitely

new territory. I know. It's the first Argentine tango, and it's

always really popular on the show. We're really excited about it.

You're dancing to a Bond theme because you have been in Bond films.

Is it going to be 00-heaven? I hope so. If not, it's going to be 00-

hell. Which doesn't work as well for a pun. You have been in Canada

as well filming... The Airro. Yeah, it comes out Monday night here. We

had to go for two days - I had to cram it all in. I was working

8.00am to 11.00pm. When did you do your training? A little bit

Thursday. So you have been back and forth to Canada this week -

incredible. When you see the standard of the dance, you will be

amazed. Robin has lent you a hand this week as well? Yeah, he's a

very good friend. He knew it was going to be a tough week for both

of us. He came in to show the lifts. Obviously, that was great for Colin.

How are the lifts? You'll have to wait and see. They are what they

are. She gets very high up in the air. You're pretty tall. You're

going to get vertigo up there. Listen. Good luck this week. Thank

you. You have agreed to give us a tiny teaser of the Argentine tango,

so if you would like to go prepare yourselves on the floor - Colin and

Kristina - shall we? Indeed. I can tell you on the show this week

there will be tap dancing. As I teeter dangerously on the stage in

these heels I would like to introduce a little bit of the

Argentine tango - it's Colin and That's your lot, folks. Look away.

If you want more, you'll have to watch our Hollywood epic, Strictly

Come Dancing: It Takes Two, 6.30pm tomorrow night. It is going to be
