:00:23. > :00:29.APPLAUSE Here to have a go at the Pro Challenge, Mr Brendan Cole.
:00:29. > :00:34.APPLAUSE If you are all very well behaved, we will sneak next door
:00:34. > :00:38.and have a look at some of our celebs practising. Now, I must
:00:38. > :00:47.introduce you to our Friday Panel. All the way from California, from
:00:47. > :00:53.Dancing With The Stars, it is Mark Ballas. APPLAUSE Katherine Jenkins
:00:53. > :01:03.is here. APPLAUSE Everybody's favourite teacher, Matthew

:01:31. > :01:35.Morrison! APPLAUSE This is It Takes Live from Television Centre, this
:01:35. > :01:43.is Strictly: It Takes Two. Please welcome your host, Zoe Ball.
:01:43. > :01:48.APPLAUSE Hello! Welcome to It Takes Two. In
:01:48. > :01:54.just 24 hours 18 minutes and 18 seconds our six couple also be
:01:54. > :02:00.dancing like they have never danced before. It is finally upon us - yes,
:02:00. > :02:04.the dance fusion weekend! APPLAUSE It is crazy. In a minute, I will be
:02:04. > :02:13.chatting to Dani and Vincent who will be tackling a
:02:13. > :02:20.quickstep/Charleston. Let's have a reminder of their Viennese waltz.
:02:20. > :02:26.A Viennese waltz with Italian flair. It was enchanting. Thank you.
:02:26. > :02:36.was sweet, but, for me, it didn't blow me away, sadly. The whole
:02:36. > :02:38.
:02:38. > :02:43.thing had a charm about it. I can only say one bit of Italian - Bon
:02:43. > :02:51.Jovi! LAUGHTER I thought it went well. I loved it. It was beautiful.
:02:51. > :03:01.I loved it. I didn't stare at you the whole time, which was good!
:03:01. > :03:05.
:03:05. > :03:10.did you do that?! Please welcome Dani and Vincent. APPLAUSE You
:03:10. > :03:14.clever Viennese waltzers. Were you pleased with Saturday? I thought I
:03:14. > :03:21.was in Venice for a bit. Then I realised I was in Shepherd's Bush.
:03:21. > :03:25.I loved it so much. The gondola and the image, did it help bring the
:03:25. > :03:32.romance to the dance? You fell in love for a little bit? We are in
:03:32. > :03:36.love, aren't we? Are you? LAUGHTER You are friends for the life in the
:03:36. > :03:43.love! Angela sent a message, "I think you are a fabulous dancer,
:03:43. > :03:48.Dani. You look lovely every week. Bellissimo." Well done. "You are
:03:48. > :03:54.not a bad dancer either, Vincent." Craig said at the end of saying
:03:54. > :03:57.lots of nice things, "It didn't blow me away." How do you feel?
:03:57. > :04:01.Craig's been really nice every single week. It was bound to happen
:04:02. > :04:05.at some point. We have been lucky with him. I'm a bit gutted that it
:04:05. > :04:08.didn't blow him away. I loved that dance so much. It's been one of my
:04:08. > :04:12.favourites. Never mind. confident did you feel in the
:04:12. > :04:16.results show that you were going to be going through? Not confident at
:04:16. > :04:21.all. Really? I'm never confident. You don't know. With Kimberley
:04:21. > :04:26.being in the bottom two and Nicky, it could be any of us. It is
:04:26. > :04:34.terrifying. We are now in the quarterfinals. I can't believe
:04:34. > :04:39.that! How important is it... there? It is all about YOU! How
:04:39. > :04:44.important is it now for you to get those steps perfect at this point?
:04:44. > :04:50.That is it. We have to do everything it takes to be there. I
:04:50. > :04:54.will. You will! LAUGHTER That is good. How critical do you reckon
:04:54. > :05:00.the judges will be? They will be quite severe and serious about it.
:05:00. > :05:06.At this stage of the competition, the best dancers should get through.
:05:06. > :05:12.That's my little Dani! Good. Listen, Darcey does keep going on about
:05:13. > :05:19.your line, your top line. I know. About showing off an expensive
:05:19. > :05:23.necklace. We have splashed out on this little number. I love it!
:05:24. > :05:28.is something I knocked up earlier on. That is for you. Thank you so
:05:28. > :05:33.much. I love it. Understand if you can't wear it on the show. Can I
:05:33. > :05:37.have one? If you are a good boy! When we were watching your training
:05:37. > :05:42.footage, we thought that might be more suited to you. I will nick it!
:05:42. > :05:50.Have a look at this. I think Vincent thinks himself as a bit of
:05:50. > :05:57.a gangster! Vincent's always trying to be a bit rap starrish. Vincent
:05:57. > :06:07.is King! Always trying to be Cockney. What's happening?! What is
:06:07. > :06:12.
:06:12. > :06:22.the craic? Sorted! He is constantly saying innit! Innit! Let's go for
:06:22. > :06:27.
:06:27. > :06:34.it. Let's eat it. Eat it? No, heat it! Hello! It is so funny! I'm
:06:34. > :06:39.hilarious! LAUGHTER He is hilarious! APPLAUSE You know we
:06:39. > :06:47.love you. We got you this. Three for �1 in Shepherd's Bush market.
:06:47. > :06:51.Wow! This weekend... My head doesn't fit in it let alone my ego!
:06:51. > :06:56.Dance fusion this weekend, I like that. You two have the quickstep
:06:56. > :06:59.and the Charleston. How goes it? is actually good. I wasn't, I
:06:59. > :07:03.didn't think the quickstep and the Charleston would go together. But
:07:03. > :07:09.they do. They go together really nicely. We are learning quite a
:07:09. > :07:15.lot! It is the teaching. You did a quickstep at Wembley. Has it all
:07:15. > :07:20.come back to you? No, it is all different. It's not really helped
:07:20. > :07:24.doing it before. OK. Other than, it is fine. It is challenging. First
:07:24. > :07:29.time you have done a Charleston on this show. I know. Can you believe
:07:29. > :07:35.it? Are you any good at it? I don't know. I'm better! I have been
:07:35. > :07:40.helping him! LAUGHTER He is great. I have potential! All right. Let's
:07:40. > :07:47.listen to the music. # Happy feet
:07:47. > :07:55.# I've got those happy feet. # We have two two fronting it. This
:07:55. > :08:00.must be the perfect match? I hope so. I hope we blow Craig away.
:08:00. > :08:04.are so close now. Next week is the semifinals. How much do you want to
:08:04. > :08:08.be there? We want to be there so much. It would mean the world to me.
:08:08. > :08:12.I have enjoyed this experience so much. There's only two weeks left.
:08:12. > :08:17.If I could stay in for the next two weeks, I will be very happy. Not to
:08:17. > :08:23.influence the votes, but what would you do in the semifinal if you
:08:23. > :08:31.survived? Prepare yourself! Hold me! Hold me! Hold him back. You say
:08:31. > :08:40.it. We will be doing the Argentine tango! So please I would love to do
:08:40. > :08:44.it. Good luck, Dani and Vincent. Thank you. Thank you. APPLAUSE Now,
:08:44. > :08:47.last week, our lemur friend incorrectly predicted Kimberley and
:08:47. > :08:57.Pasha would be top of the leaderboard. This week, we decided
:08:57. > :09:25.
:09:25. > :09:29.So Peanut thinks Lisa and Robin will top the leaderboard. Time for
:09:29. > :09:33.another Pro Challenge result. This week we launched our 2012 World
:09:33. > :09:38.Record Pro Challenge. At the moment, Erin Boag is top of the leaderboard.
:09:38. > :09:48.Can her fellow Kiwi knock her off the top spot? He hopes so! Please
:09:48. > :09:55.welcome Brendan Cole. APPLAUSE Come on, Champ! Nice to have you back.
:09:55. > :09:59.So nice to be here. We can lounge. OK, kickball changes. How many had
:09:59. > :10:04.you done in a row before you attempted this? Five-and-a-half!
:10:04. > :10:12.Well done(!) Last year, you came second. I think it was rigged.
:10:12. > :10:16.much would you like to win it this year? It would be nice to crowned
:10:16. > :10:20.Kickball Change Champion of Strictly 2012. It was tough. I went
:10:20. > :10:25.in all arrogant... How unlike you(!) Now I have had time to
:10:25. > :10:31.reflect, I lem less confident. I will win! -- I am less confident. I
:10:31. > :10:37.will win! Here we go. This is how you got on. Quite an easy challenge
:10:37. > :10:41.for me. I like a kickball change. Looking forward to it. I am better
:10:41. > :10:46.than everybody else at this challenge. I will be victorious!
:10:46. > :10:50.Hello, Brendan. Hello, judges. do you think you will do? Very,
:10:50. > :10:59.very well. We know you are fast, your footwork is efficient. Looking
:10:59. > :11:09.forward to it. Ready? Ready. you ready? I am. Three, two, one,
:11:09. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:42.Fantastic! That was impressive. Richard? It was strong, steady. You
:11:42. > :11:46.did a good job. Well done, you may leave the floor. The hardest thing
:11:46. > :11:50.is keeping the rhythm. You start to lose your mind as to where you are.
:11:50. > :11:56.Are you on the kick, the ball or on the change? In the middle, I
:11:56. > :12:01.started to go funny in the rhythm. I still think I was victorious.
:12:01. > :12:06.APPLAUSE You see, I hate it when you get confused between the ball
:12:06. > :12:12.and the change! Shocking. It can happen to the best of us. How do
:12:12. > :12:16.you think you did? Maybe managed 60 or so. Not really sure. It was a
:12:16. > :12:22.weird one. I didn't watch that properly. I was too concerned about
:12:22. > :12:32.the fact I had a spray tan and I looked very orange. I know! Don't
:12:32. > :12:38.
:12:38. > :12:47.adjust your set! Let's see. I can reveal that you performed...
:12:47. > :12:52.Dramatic! You performed 65 kickball changes in 30 seconds. I love it!
:12:52. > :12:59.APPLAUSE Is that a win? Do you want to look at the leaderboard?
:12:59. > :13:03.really. Let's see the leaderboard. Did I lose? Look, you have beaten
:13:03. > :13:08.Robin Windsor. Arrogance does not pay. It doesn't! Erin Boag at the
:13:08. > :13:13.top. Could the girls win this year? Come on! Yes, now that I'm top boy
:13:13. > :13:20.out of two... You want the girls to win. I do. It is all about centre
:13:20. > :13:28.of gravity and girls are much more... You have a baby on the way.
:13:28. > :13:33.We got you these. Ah! A blue and a pink because we don't know if it is
:13:33. > :13:38.going to be a boy or a girl. Thank you so much. We love you. Lots of
:13:38. > :13:42.love to Zoe. Thank you. Brendan Cole, everybody! APPLAUSE So
:13:42. > :13:46.exciting! Now, in a moment, I will be chatting to our phenomenal
:13:46. > :13:50.Friday Panel. But before I do, let's take a look at two of them in
:13:50. > :14:00.action. Here are Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas performing on
:14:00. > :14:16.
:14:16. > :14:25.How good were they?! Please welcome tonight Katherine Jenkins, Mark
:14:25. > :14:32.Ballas and Matthew Morrison! APPLAUSE Have a seat. Have a seat.
:14:32. > :14:36.Hello! Katherine, you are a massive Strictly fan. How was Dancing With
:14:36. > :14:43.The Stars? It was amazing. I had the best time. I made amazing
:14:43. > :14:46.friends. I loved every minute. it nice to be back together? It is.
:14:47. > :14:52.It's lovely to be reunited and we get to dance tomorrow. It will go
:14:52. > :14:56.out on the show next weekend. On the results show. And you are
:14:56. > :15:06.going to be performing one of your singles from your Christmas album?
:15:06. > :15:10.
:15:10. > :15:16.Yes. Shall we have a look? # Hark the herald angels sing... #
:15:16. > :15:21.Katherine Jenkins! Gorgeous. Mark Ballas, hello? How are you?
:15:21. > :15:26.doing well. My Mum fell off her chair when you walked in! Is it
:15:27. > :15:34.lovely to be dancing again with Katherine? We had a great time
:15:34. > :15:39.dancing together. She has still got it. She has! You never forget it I
:15:39. > :15:44.suppose. What was her best dance? She had a lot of good ones. The
:15:44. > :15:49.paso was good. The jive was really good. She had a lot of good ones.
:15:49. > :15:52.love that! I did have duds! I didn't like the rumba. It is a
:15:52. > :15:58.funny dance. That was for a different reason! I will leave you
:15:58. > :16:03.two to chat. I have to speak to Matthew Morrison. Hello. Matthew
:16:03. > :16:13.Morrison! APPLAUSE A new series of Glee is about to start in January.
:16:13. > :16:17.At the end of the last episode, Rachel is going to New York, Kurt
:16:17. > :16:22.didn't get into New York, Mercedes has a record deal and you are going
:16:22. > :16:26.to marry Emma. What do you want me to say?! Surely, all of that - can
:16:27. > :16:35.you tell us anything about the new series? It's a complete departure
:16:35. > :16:39.of where we were before. I call it Glee 2.0. We see them in New York.
:16:39. > :16:44.We get a new crop of kids in the choir room. It's going to be a lot
:16:44. > :16:48.of fun. We are taking the show outside of the high school.
:16:48. > :16:51.Exciting times! Let's have a look at our couples and what they are
:16:51. > :16:55.dancing this weekend. Denise and James, it is the combination, they
:16:55. > :17:00.are doing the fusion dances. They are dancing jive and quickstep.
:17:00. > :17:05.Katherine, I remember you had a bit of trouble because you had to do a
:17:05. > :17:09.sexy wriggly bits. I was freaked out by Mark trying to get me to be
:17:09. > :17:13.sexy. The thing about the jive is it takes so much energy. Mark used
:17:13. > :17:21.to make us do it three times back- to-back. So by the time we did the
:17:21. > :17:28.real one, we were ready for it. What do you think of Denise' jive?
:17:28. > :17:31.I think it's looking great. It's animated. It's so hard to fuse two
:17:31. > :17:35.kinds of dance together. Mark, you have done this fusion dance style
:17:35. > :17:38.which is still confusing us. We will see it tomorrow and love it.
:17:38. > :17:42.You have done it on Dancing With The Stars. How easy is it to put
:17:42. > :17:47.two dances like that together? Fortunately, they have two good
:17:47. > :17:52.ones. Jive and quickstep work together. Sometimes you can get two
:17:52. > :17:56.random ones, like rumba and Samba, or something... OK. We may have
:17:56. > :18:00.some of those to discuss in a moment. There is one in there.
:18:00. > :18:07.might be Nicky. We will talk about that in a minute. This is what they
:18:07. > :18:13.are dancing to. Reet Petite! You have sung along to some marvellous
:18:13. > :18:17.songs. Jackie Wilson. Paint for Morrison! I love Jackie Wilson. It
:18:17. > :18:24.is a great song for this. Let's discuss Louis and Flavia. They have
:18:24. > :18:28.a tango and a rumba. That is the weird combo. Why? Because rumba is
:18:28. > :18:34.really slow. It is one of the slowest Latin dances and tango, for
:18:34. > :18:37.the most part, has pace. It is not a slow dance. So it will be
:18:37. > :18:45.interesting how they get in-and-out of the figures being sexual and
:18:45. > :18:51.like connecting like that and then being dramatic. They are dancing to
:18:51. > :18:57.# With or without you. # Do you immediately think
:18:58. > :19:01.rumba/tango? Yes, I do! It is a great rumba. It is not a great
:19:01. > :19:06.tango. This doesn't sound good. He got two tens last week. Can our
:19:06. > :19:10.Olympian be a champion? I like watching these two dance. They are
:19:10. > :19:15.interesting together. The rumba is hard for getting the expression
:19:15. > :19:20.across and I know he struggles with that. After last week, I hope he
:19:20. > :19:25.will feel more confident. Kimberley and Pasha are doing a cha-cha-cha
:19:25. > :19:32.and a tango. Matthew, they have scored 34 for the last four weeks.
:19:32. > :19:38.34 out of 40. How can they get those scores up? Wow, she is great!
:19:38. > :19:42.She is amazing. Wow. I think the thing is, listening to the judges'
:19:42. > :19:47.criticism and taking what they say and incorporating it into the next
:19:47. > :19:50.dance. I could listen to you talk all day! Let's listen to their
:19:50. > :19:55.music. # It's raining men! #
:19:55. > :20:03.Is this like a gem of a song to dance to? Yeah. You would hear this
:20:03. > :20:07.song out. My Mum likes this song. love this song. It's a girl's song.
:20:07. > :20:12.Nicky and Karen, they are dancing a Samba and an American Smooth.
:20:12. > :20:15.Katherine, a lot of the males have struggled with the Samba. How did
:20:15. > :20:19.you get on with it? What do you think of Nicky? I think the Samba
:20:19. > :20:23.is really difficult. It is the one that, for me, I didn't realise it
:20:23. > :20:28.was so technical. It really is. I don't think this is going to be
:20:28. > :20:33.easy. I love Nicky. I think he's lovely to watch. I'm hoping he will
:20:33. > :20:39.do well. He has been in the dance- off, he was in the dance-off last
:20:40. > :20:44.week and the week before. How can he come out of that? I think
:20:44. > :20:54.rehearsal is the best thing. She's wearing boots. What is that?! Would
:20:54. > :20:57.you wear boots in rehearsal?! Sorry. Say what you want! This is the
:20:57. > :21:02.music. # You are giving me a heart attack.
:21:02. > :21:06.It is number one in the hit parade. It is Olly Murs. Could it be number
:21:06. > :21:12.one on the leaderboard? It is great they are dancing to such a popular
:21:12. > :21:17.song. The young vote will love that. Who knows. I hope they do well.
:21:17. > :21:27.love him. Lisa and Robin are doing a tango and a cha-cha-cha. How well
:21:27. > :21:31.do these combine, Mark? These two go together quite well. The counts
:21:31. > :21:35.can still work. I love her. She has so much personality. She is cute.
:21:35. > :21:41.She is. She is really popular. Do you think she could get to the
:21:41. > :21:48.final on that brief clip? Yes. She's got the personality for it.
:21:48. > :21:58.But it is a dance competition. I think she needs to... Come on. The
:21:58. > :22:01.
:22:01. > :22:06.music? # Voulez Vous... #
:22:07. > :22:12.Lisa hung out next door just to see you. We love you! Dani and Vincent
:22:12. > :22:15.are doing a Charleston and a quickstep. Dani has never been top
:22:15. > :22:22.of the leaderboard. Lots of people are saying she is the dark pony. Do
:22:22. > :22:27.you think, what are you thinking of this? I think she's a lovely frame.
:22:27. > :22:32.I enjoy watching her. I think that she's - she is a dark horse. She
:22:32. > :22:37.could do well. It is about progression. She's on the journey
:22:37. > :22:45.of getting better. Happy Feet is what they are dancing to.
:22:45. > :22:51.# I've got those happy feet. # I want to do a... Go on! What do
:22:51. > :22:54.you think? Happy scores? That is a great song for that combination.
:22:54. > :23:00.The Charleston and quickstep go well together. She is moving quite
:23:00. > :23:04.well. Her frame looks good. That is a good piece of music and two
:23:04. > :23:10.dances. Do you think being an actress will be an advantage?
:23:10. > :23:15.Absolutely. I think a lot of it is about passing on the emotion.
:23:15. > :23:19.Having gone all that way and you got to the final and that Donald
:23:19. > :23:22.guy won! How tough is it at this point in the competition? It is all
:23:22. > :23:27.about keeping your head in check and that is why I think sports
:23:27. > :23:34.people do well. I lost my head! LAUGHTER Stop laughing! I have an
:23:34. > :23:44.important question. Who do you want to see win? Katherine Jenkins!
:23:44. > :23:52.Thank you for that. Kimberley. or Lisa. Mark? Kimberley. You have
:23:52. > :23:56.been glorious. Thank you so much for coming. APPLAUSE Over the last
:23:56. > :23:59.11 weeks our couples have been giving their all to the dancefloor.
:23:59. > :24:07.We would all agree they wouldn't want to change a thing because they
:24:07. > :24:14.have fallen in love with dancing. The last few months have been like
:24:14. > :24:20.living the dream. The moment I fell in love with dance is when I got to
:24:20. > :24:25.catch Robin at the end of my cha- cha. That moment has changed my
:24:26. > :24:33.life forever! To stand and hear the roar from the audience, that is
:24:33. > :24:38.something that will live me forever. I have loved every minute of
:24:38. > :24:42.learning every different dance. My turning point was the week of our
:24:42. > :24:47.Viennese waltz. Me and Pasha felt like we had connected. That was a
:24:47. > :24:54.milestone for me. Kimberley loves to dance. Week after week, she
:24:54. > :24:58.really works hard and I'm proud of her. The last few months have meant
:24:58. > :25:03.everything to me. I am having the best time of my life. I think our
:25:03. > :25:13.turning point would probably be the tango and also the quickstep at
:25:13. > :25:16.Wembley because that was pretty mega! I realised that Dani was
:25:16. > :25:22.getting in love with dancing after the second week. We had the salsa
:25:22. > :25:26.and she started believing that she could do this. I fell in love with
:25:26. > :25:33.dancing on Strictly the first time I stepped on to the studio floor.
:25:33. > :25:36.Instantly! I just loved it! I can't say one dance that I would like to
:25:37. > :25:43.do again with Denise because there's so many. She is brilliant.
:25:43. > :25:47.Amazing! Very proud of her. last few months has been emotional.
:25:47. > :25:52.I think when I really started to enjoy the dancing is when I started
:25:52. > :25:57.learning the Viennese waltz. It made me feel like a gentleman.
:25:57. > :26:04.so proud that Louis went for it with the Charleston. The reaction
:26:04. > :26:09.was brilliant. I have a few personal highlights. My foxtrot at
:26:09. > :26:14.The Mask. The Charleston was epic. The Argentine tango, that was the
:26:14. > :26:18.moment where I actually really felt that I could dance. I have never
:26:18. > :26:24.met someone with so much fight in them. When he gets on that
:26:24. > :26:34.dancefloor, he completely turns into a dancer. Proud is too little
:26:34. > :26:36.
:26:36. > :26:45.of a word. He's brilliant. It's me. I'm up here. I have snuck in. Look,
:26:45. > :26:49.it is only Shimmy Jordan! I'm so tired. You having a lie down? Well,
:26:49. > :26:53.I think the fusion of a quickstep and a jive is going to take it out
:26:53. > :26:57.of you? Yes. Has he managed to remember it all? We will see. We
:26:57. > :27:02.have had a couple of runs today and it's gone well. Fingers crossed,
:27:02. > :27:09.Zoe. Otherwise you will get so slapped! You did the jive before
:27:09. > :27:13.and it was one of the dances of the series. Has that helped? I loved
:27:13. > :27:16.the jive. Some of the steps are similar - well they are the same.
:27:16. > :27:20.It does help a little bit. Because it went well before, I feel more
:27:20. > :27:24.pressure. You are so good. It will be brilliant. Anything you are
:27:24. > :27:32.worried about? Remembering the steps! OK. People keep reminding me
:27:32. > :27:39.about it all the time! Do they?! Forget it now! Don't worry about it.
:27:39. > :27:49.Will you show us a bit? Why not. on. Give it up for James and Denise.
:27:49. > :27:59.
:27:59. > :28:09.Help me up. And their crazy dance MUSIC: "Reet Petite"
:28:09. > :28:21.
:28:21. > :28:25.Are you sure?! I cannot believe that, ladies and gentlemen. You
:28:25. > :28:31.witnessed that. James Jordan has forgotten the routine! That is your
:28:31. > :28:34.lot from us for this week. Tune in to the big show tomorrow from
:28:34. > :28:39.6.50pm on BBC One. Join us on Monday when we will be talking to
