Episode 55 Strictly - It Takes Two

This is Strictly It Takes Two, the finale woifl. -- 2012. Please

welcome your host, Zoe Ball! Hello and welcome to a knockout

supersized edition of It Takes Two! It's 23 hours, 59 minutes and 9

seconds until our couples come out fighting for the big one, the

Strictly Come Dancing final 2012, yes!

Over the next hour, I'll be chatting to the judges, the

eliminated couples and your finalists. In a moment, Denise and

James will be here, but before that, here is the story of how James

brought the dancer out in Denise. James... I think finally I might

have met my match. If you always dance you say dance, if I'm

chilling, say chilling. I enjoy coming to rehearse with James.

be trying to get her elegant. I'll turn around and she's raving. No,

Denise, no. Denise, so expressive. You extended your lines beautifully.

I really enjoyed it. Denise smashed it. It was brilliant. Jive is

extremely fast. All I seem to be doing is spinning. I'm constantly

dizzy. I'm literally like this. I can't spin any more. I feel sick.

Fabulous. I've been dog the show for serven years and never had a

fab-u-lous from Craig. The foxtrot. We are looking at the technical

side. Posture, poise. I want to dance it well. The pivots and turns

were so well done. Top of the leaderboard. I'm completely over

the moon. Everything could change next Saturday. The fun and games

are over. I get frustrated. I want to know the routine so I can start

working on the technique. stressing about the choreography

and what it's going to look like. I'm freaked about Saturday.

It was jolty. You need to work on that. Not as crisp as I would have

liked. It was justified and put fire many my belly. Something to

work on. We work really, really hard. Lovely, thank you. The thing

I love about James is that he really cares and makes my

experience on Strictly the best. Flowing, flowing, the rotation was

exquisite. Absolutely spectacular. I've really hurt my ankle so Ian

Waite's dancing with Denise for me at the moment. A nice tight bum.

I'm a little bit jealous. I haven't finished yet. I'm listening to Ian.

The paso doble is aggressive. It will come easily when I'm dancing

with James. The turns are absolutely aiz making, out of this

world -- amazing. I'm going to Wembley. Get in there! That's a

dance of the series. The best charleston I've ever seen. Ten.

was like living in a dream. It was amazing. This week, we are dancing

the American smooth. I'm nervous about it because it could go really

horribly wrong. My arm was about to hit James's face. He ducked to get

out of the way. I did panic and thought I'd really hurt myself but

actually I'm all right. Hopefully it's knocked some sense into me.

That was graceful. You are a pleasure to watch. Shimmy. To watch

James shimmy is the funniest thing ever. We'll be all right because

your shimmy will save us. I was absolutely loving it and then

suddenly, there was a look in his eyes, he'd just gone blank.

Literally nothing. It's not if you go wrong, it's how you recover. You

recovered well, well done. It's given us the drive to prove

ourselves so we are going to come out fighting. The precision and

accuracy was outstanding! Only one couple will dance again next week.

Judges? Denise and James. You have to pick yourself up, brush yourself

off and start all over again. There's definitely a lot of

pressure on us this week because we've been in the dance-off. We

have to go out there and dance our socks off. I think the final

wouldn't be the proper final if you are not there. The last few months

on Strictly have been the best ever. I wake up in the morning and I want

to run into rehearsal and learn a new dance. I would say if you get

the chance to do Strictly, grab it with both hands because it's

literally the best thing I've ever done.

Awesome. Please welcome Denise and James! It's going to be emotional

today. How have rehearsals been going today? We have really enjoyed

it all this week. It's been really good fun. We feel quite relaxed

because there is a buzz about the final so we are looking forward to

it. There is a big thrill at the BBC tonight. On Monday you got

emotional. How have you held up in the week, doing the three dances as

well? Fine actually. We were emotional because seeing Robin and

Lisa leave in particular. This week's been good fun revisiting

dances which we love doing. That we can remember! Jive two took a bit

of remembering, like the charleston as well which you absolutely loved.

Then the show dance. The show dance, we've had issues because you

dislocated a rib but it's been... Dislocated a rib, oh no! They

popped it back in. Did you bite on his arm? No, Kimberley was looking

after me. Craig loved the jive so much last time you gave him a kiss.

I know! Have you been able to improve on it? It was pretty

awesome when we saw it first? Definitely. There's quite a few

things in there that weren't right so we have been working on them.

Hopefully the judges will notice the change. We changed the

beginning, something in the middle. So it's the energy level because

obviously Denise's technique and everything is much stronger now,

her legs and feet are much better, hopefully people will see a

difference. It will be mind-blowing. Also you've got your injury. Is

that from the show dance? How is the show dance going? We have seen

some spectacular lifts in it. throws me all over the place. I'm

in a bit of pain but it's been going well and hopefully because

I'm a bit sore today because obviously I've had somebody treat

it but it should be fine tomorrow. With the adrenaline and everything.

We didn't get to play your music. Every little girl always wanted to

dance to this. Let's hear it. What a feeling

# Being's believing... # I loved seeing your outfit. It's mine!

You have incorporated in your show dance apparently some salsa moves,

tango moves and moves, the one you forgot, is that right? I put the

salsa step in which I forgot when we did the salsa that week. Is that

wise? I've never seen it before, that's why!

I put that in for myself really to get rid of that thing that I've

been worrying about for the last four to five weeks. You want to

prove a point? To myself, yes, so it's back in there. Does that make

you anxious that that's come back in there, Denise? Only a tiny bit

but it's only a small bit. decided to put the small bit back

in. You're not the only celebrity on the show with a performance

background but you've taken quite a bit of grief for it. Has that been

pressure? At times. I'm in the final now and I want to enjoy it

and it actually doesn't matter. Actually, I have got a confession,

me and Lee are Latin ballroom dancers and we've had competitions

in the past. She does the choreography. James, your second

final. You came third with Pamela Stevenson. How much do you want to

go up a notch? It would be amazing, but do you know what, to be in the

final, we are all really good friends and that's what people

maybe don't see but we are genuinely good friends and whoever

wins, second, third, everybody in the final deserves their place and

they're all amazing. Everyone's a winner. That's how we see it.

is something special from your biggest supporters. When we first

learnt Denise was going to be on Strictly, we were happy for her,

she's absolutely loved it. It's the most important thing to Denise, her

family and her friends, she's at her happiest when she's in Kent

with her husband Lee and her little girl Betsy. It's been hard not

seeing each other. She's brilliant. Very loyal to her friends and an

amazing mother as well. She's missed Betsy a lot. She's only two

and has missed her mummy. She'll wave to her on the telly and say

"Pretty mummy". We met when we were 16, 17, she's so bossy. We sit

round and watch her. Brilliant. wanted to really make to it the

final and she's really enjoyed it. I'm just happy for her. I can see

she's had a very good time dancing with James. Denise's dancing comes

from the heart and you can see that. She's had her ups and downs but I

know that she genuinely sincerely would love James to win because she

knows how much work he puts in. favourite dance for me the the

charleston. I hope she wins because she'll get the trophy! Good luck

for Saturday Dee, we are right behind you and wishing you all the

luck in the world. Best of luck for the final. We've all missed you the

past few weeks and been behind you. Go out and enjoy it. Keep dancing.

Keep dancing! Tissues at the ready. Thank you. I love you all! Thank

you for coming on the show and you have been so entertaining. Good

luck tomorrow night. Can we just say thank you to you and the team

as well, you have been absolutely amazing.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Let's hear it for Denise and skinny

dimy shimmy Jimmy Jordan! Time for more finalists now. Lewis

and Flavia in a moment but first the story of how the bronze and

silver medallist found himself going for gold.

Lewis, the dancer that you will be bending over backwards to pleased

will be Flavia. I'm loving this. Having a wicked time. Flavia's

great. You have got to sell it. You can do pretty much anything.

Literally for a woman that can't dance at a party. I've never had to

be sexy and flamboyant. This is going to be tough. I think you are

going to go far in this show. happy with the way the routine went.

It's going well so far. This week we are going the Viennese waltz.

are supposed to be in love like puppies. I struggle to be romantic

and smile. It's really difficult for him but he's got to believe in

it. Like a Valentine's Day postcard brought to life. Best dance so far.

Top of the leaderboard. Fantastic. The routine's tricky. There will be

a couple of lifts. One of them is particularly difficult. If we don't

pull it off on the night, it could be disastrous. It was fantastic!

You can stretch those legs. Like Concorde taking off! Patrick Swayze

- yes, I guess so. Tan go is serious and angry. It's a bit like

having a fight on the dance floor. Do you want a fight? Yes. Come on.

I think he's go to be quite good at it. I loved it. The judges in the

Samba are looking for lots of energy. It's party time. You've got

to go for it. You've got to really sell it. I feel like an idiot when

I don't do it right. I was a bit disappointed. It was a bit Scaife.

I want it to be more free. Six. bit harsh. Anyone else agree? No.

Well, I thought it was harsh. A bit more oomph. I haven't got any

more. There's no such thing as an easy week in Strictly. I can't do

that! I don't want to let Flavia down. That's part of the reason why

you try extra hard on the night. didn't like that. It was very

pedestrian. They started having a little war. What a load of

bolognese! You have no idea how to dance... It was up in the air, but

we got through it and survived to Wembley. I'm bewildered because I

didn't get the smooth part. It wasn't bad, but you can do better.

The main thing is the public kept us in and we have another chance.

Do you want to do the paso doble? This week I've got the step it up

and get the wow factor across. Dancing is how you feel, about

emotion. Don't make it pretty, do it in a macho way. You have to

learn to act. You can go no further with us unless you give yourself up.

I haven't had a good few weeks. It's frustrating. The technique has

always been there, but the performance is so vital. I'll have

to give it everything in training and do the performance side as well

which is something I've never done before. You've got a personality

and you've come out and performed. The making of a true contender!

Unbelievable. Yeah! Oh, my... I'm so, so proud of Louis, I know

how difficult it's been. I'm on a roll and don't want to slow down so

I need to keep the performance side going. Those arms were delicious,

very expressive. Loved it. One of your best. It was. Ten. Tens again!

Now, I feel leek a sense of responsibility to try and step it

up for the guys. I'm the only one left. Is it making sense?

Stressful. The final's in sight and we have to do that little bit extra.

Thank goodness. You've got it. are back on top where you belong.

The last few months have been emotional. I've had ups and downs.

It's been excruciating, so hard. It's been brilliant. Please welcome

Louis and Flavia. Well, here we are, the night before,

24 hours to go. Louis, how are the nerves? They're God, yes. I'm

chilled. Flavia? Ask me tomorrow. How does this compare to the night

before the last round of the pommel horse in the Olympics? I can

honestly say I was more nervous for the Olympic Games. I haven't

trained 19 years for Strictly but it's still up there, still pressure.

I'm liking this calm, this can only be good. Have you been hard on

Louis this week? It's a tough week for everybody. We have done two

routines last week, so that was probably the hardest week. This

week you are recapping two, we've made changes in both, plus the show

dance. Thing is, you are so tired that I've tried to push as much as

possible but I can only go on how much his back will take before it

breaks. Exactly, I know! That's a bit extreme! Let's hope that

doesn't happen. The salsa last time. We all thought it was amazing. Len,

he only gave it a six. From what I'm hearing, it's undergone the

most changes from before to please Len? We like pleasing Len so we've

added more salsa. It's still very true to the movie but we have put

more arm movement in there. Also, Flavia told us on Tuesday

that you were allowing Louis to contribute a bit of choreography to

the show dance. Has she been true to her word? She has. It got to do

my own piece at the start and then I kind of added some input to the

ending as bell. -- as well. Take note. With an acrobatic partner

like Louis, you must be tempted to throw everything into it? Have you

been had to hold back? So far, I think we've used his skills to the

best that we could have done during the competition, but I think it's

going to be very special in the show dance, yes. We have saved the

best to last. I know - I know things - I'm not telling anything!

You have got a bad back. Has it affected your training, rehearsing

for lifts and stuff like that? been really hard trying to train.

It's the reason why we didn't do many big lifts during the show

because if my back goes, I'm out of the competition for sure so it's

been hard getting an even balance to do enough training so we are

ready. Goodness me! Getting tense. The series has already seen you

crowned the It Takes Two challenge champion, Flavia. Surely tomorrow

it's just a walk in the park after that? I wish! The others are

absolutely amazing. It's incredible, the standard this year. It really

is awesome. It could go either way. We love you.

How much do you want to win gold on the dance floor tomorrow night?

would be really nice to win. Hike you said, got pipped. I'm not one

of those people that win things, I'm a runner-up type of guy so it

would be nice to finally actually win something, I'm not going to lie.

How much have friends and family helped you during your run on

Strictly? They've been brilliant. My friends have been so patient

with me because I haven't seen them pretty much since before the

Olympic Games, then briefly afterwards. My mum's an angel.

She's been there from day one. do love your mum. They are all

incredibly proud of you, Louis, take a look at this. He's very

thoughtful, very loving. She's considerate. He's a very nice

gentleman. We all look up to him. He's a good role model for us all.

He was very active when he was little. He was what you call

hyperactive and so his mam took him to the gym. I first realised he was

a bit special at about 14. He went to the European Championships and

came back with a gold. When he told us he was going to be on Strictly,

I thought it was a complete wind-up. Seeing him now on the television

dancing, I mean it's wonderful. Watching him each week, he's grown

and he's beginning to like what he's doing. It's been great to see

him open up, starting to act and be dramatic. He looks good, I love

watching him dance. I wouldn't miss Saturday night for nothing. We are

not surprised Louis is in the final. Whenever he does something, he puts

110% in. He's an incredible athlete and performer. Some of the dancing

I thought was so good. The highlight for me is his charleston.

I thought it brought out the cheeky side of him. I'm very pleased he's

made it. Nobody wants to talk to him about the Olympics any more,

it's all Strictly wherever he goes. I'm so proud of him. I do so want

him to win. I love you so much and I've really enjoyed watching you

every Saturday. Good luck. Aw. I can see he's welling up. Good

luck for tomorrow night. Do it for your auntie, she's amazing. Louis

and Flavia, everybody. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over the course of the series, we have seen the predictions of some

very gifted animals. Actually, most got it wrong. But just for none, a

chance to redeem themselves for the big one, who does Dasha the meerkat

So cute! He thinks Flavia and Louis will lift the trophy. A few people

here who might have something to say about that! Please welcome the

judges. Well, hello.

Thank you for coming on the last show. Get off his coat! Cosy.

seem obvious there's one person missing, we will be hooking up with

Craig later on. We'll be able to fit one on. We'll make him sit on

the floor. Ladies first, Darcey, what a year to join the show?

Aren't I a lucky girl. Joined a very, very nice show. I would never

imagine the standard would be this high and my boys would be so lovely.

We have had fun haven't we, such fun? They all hate each other off

air, promise you. Going into the final, there is a clear winner. Has

there ever been such an open final? We normally make it a little bit

woo by saying well, we don't know, but honestly I have no clue. It's

the best final ever because any one of them could win and any one of

them could be going away. It's true. For the first time we have four.

Anything can happen. It's going to be absolutely a thriller. Your

scores tomorrow night, Bruno, for guidance, what would you say to the

people at home watching and thinking if they are torn, who

shall I vote for? The margin is so small, as Len said, it's down to

taste. I think technically, everybody has improved enormously,

there is hardly a whisker between them. It's all to do with

interpretation, power and taste really. Somebody will come out with

the wow factor. They are. I've seen some of the rehearsals of the show

dance. The show dances, that's the one. Craig is in panto tonight.

ALL: Oh, no, he isn't. Too good, but we have got him on the blower.

This is like Live and Kicking all over again. Hello, darling, how are

you? Fantastic, I have false eye lashes, a lovely red wig and high

heels. A typical night at home really. This will be the tenth

Grand Final. Do you still get really excited, Craig? Yes, I do,

and the reason why is because the dancing is going to be spectacular.

We have lots of fierce competitors out there who can really dance and

it's going to be so entertaining. I'm delighted and thrilled...

worry, the judges aren't going anything naughty while you are on

the other end of the phone, promise. Kimberley is the only one to score

40, she's done it twice. Are the ten paddles coming out tomorrow?

We'll see. I'll be judging and will be Azhar, as I normally am. If

something goes wrong, it will be marked down -- as I normally am --

as hard as I normally am. Leave the evil Queen at home tomorrow. Give

it up for Craig Revel Horwood, thank you! Who can get their leg

the highest? She's got the best high leg!

I will cock it up quite as high... You've got an injury. I won't go

into the details. Sympathy vote! You have chosen a dance for all the

cup ms to do. For Denise, you have chosen the jive. Darcey, you wanted

to see improvements in her shoulders from the time before?

gets ver excited. Her energy levels get worked up by the style. -- very

excited. If she can watch that and keep her shoulder blades down when

she moves her arms like this, because it can get a little wild

looking. You will know she will have worked on that. A salsa again.

You weren't mad keen on this last time because there wasn't enough

salsa? I want him to get more content in there. It's one of the

iconic dances from Dirty Dancing which is great, but I don't want

just a paradiof that number, I want to see a real bit of salsa. This

guy can dance and let's see it, come on! They have been working on

it especially for you. Bruno, Dani got a 34 for her tango. You want to

see it again. How could she make it a 40? The thing about Dani, she's

always very, very precise. Technically, she never ever makes a

mistake. Now, after having seen the Argentine, she has to put much more

power into it and interpretation and extend the line even more. She

always does it right. We want it special. The unexpected you said.

More surprises? Up until now, good has been good enough to. Win this

now you have got to be great. Excellent. Kimberley has got the

Viennese waltz and you said last her top line's got her into trouble.

Can she crack that for the final do you think? I think so. With the

amount she's improved, especially in the last two weeks, is

extraordinary and she knows what to do now. Yes. She just has to fix it

from the core into the shoulders and keeping that clean line and not

getting this wobble. Also the confidence of the last couple of

weeks surely? It's not easy. Gouf got tissue hanging out of your

armpit by the way -- youth got. Wardrobe! Your highlight of the

series, your special moment? special moment - when they first

revealed who was dancing and as each one came out I know him, I

know her, and I knew them all and I loved that opening when they all

got paired up and I thought, this is going to be great. Bruno, your

highlight? Obviously, for me, it was Halloween, the concept, the

ideas that came out with the make- up and costume. It was all relevant

to ballroom and Latin, but the interpretation was so different and

inspiring. It was wonderful. It was such a fun night. If you thought

that was fun, wait until tomorrow. Len, a double dose of you over

Christmas? We have the Christmas special on Christmas Day BBC One

and on the 27th, the day after Boxing Day, BBC Four, 9 o'clock,

the History of Ballroom Dancing, me, Erin, it's all going on! Love it.

Give it up for the judges, we want to see the tens tomorrow night, you

lovely lot, Len, Darcey and Bruno! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

The sofa's getting some wear tonight. Dani and Vincent next, but

pause for thought first and let's see the pony and her Italian

stallion. Vincent Simone... I was over the moon. I wanted Vince from

day one. So excited. She's a fire cracker. We look perfect together.

Let go of me Bella. We are like a pair of Polly Pockets, but we are

not to be messed with. The talent is there, you have got it all, you

just have to use it correctly. Thought it was nice, lovely

movement. Well done to you. Can't stop shaking. So glad it's over,

now I goat salsa, bring it on. all about Dani really. Full of

energy, it's going to be her dance. It's a fast salsa. Mamma Mia!.

lovely clean finish. The energy was fantastic. The foxtrot is one of

the most difficult ballroom dances. Slow ain't it? That means you have

to work harder. My little Dorothy, I've got some magic Ruby sllli...

Oops. Take those red shoes, walk down

that yellow brick road straight into next week because that was

great! This week we are doing the cha-cha-

cha. It's so fast. My feet just won't keep up with it. Oi, stop

checking yourself out in the mirrorment The mirror love me!

That was amazing. Vincent is such a lovely man and he's absolutely

hilarious. I'm seeing stars. mean me?! The only thing I ever

want out of Saturday nights is to do Vincent proud. That really was a

cutey pie of a jive. Lovely. minute I got paired with him it was

like, I have to do the tango with this man. Takes two to tango.

That's passion! Yes. Never seen anyone get into such a strop about

getting into a phone box. I thought you did a terrific job. I'm so

excited to be going to Wembley because I've always wanted to go,

"Hello Wembley". There's Wembley. Ola. I couldn't wait to perform in

Wembley Arena with my little Dani. You really are my gorgeous little

smurf. Look at this. Look at this!

Everybody's on their feet. I didn't just get two nines, I got

four. This week we are going to be doing the Samba. I didn't realise

it was so technical. You don't make anything easy. You are one hot

little dancer. A very, very tidy Samba dance. Thank you. I think

this is going to be a good week for us. I lo ballroom and love being in

hold with Vincent. -- I love ballroom. It was a absolutely

enchanting. It was. Bum, bum... It's the first time on Strictly

that dance fusion has been done. It can either work beautifully or it

can be a dance disaster. Dani, that was extraordinary! Yum, yum, pig's

bum. That was fun! Ten. Ten. can't believe that I'm now here in

the semi-finals. We are dancing the American smooth and the Argentine

tango. It's hard enough learning one dance in four days but trying

to do two dances! Hopefully we'll make it possible. I do just miss a

little bit of sparkle. For me, you stole my heart. It was beautiful.

Thank you so much. Ten. Ten. This whole experience has just been

absolutely brilliant and I've loved every second of it and it's all

down to Vincent. The thing that I'm going to miss the most is my lotle

Dani, the bubblely way that she is. I've had the time of my life.

It's an emotional day isn't it. How has it been rehearsing for the

Strictly Come Dancing final, Dani Harmer? It's been so good, we have

had such a fun week. We know it's the last week so we are making the

most of it and enjoying ourselves. It will be the last time. Don't

start me off again, I'm a woman on the edge. How hard have you been

pushing Dani this week, Vincent? Quite hard because it's the final,

of course, but at the same time, again, yet again, we are having so

much fun and I had the best time of my life with you, thank you so much.

Take the glitter box, go on. He's gone. Hold tight, everyone, we can

get through this together. You told us on Wednesday your tango was

going to be ten times better than the last time we saw it. It was

pretty darn good. How are you getting on with that? We have just

been working really, really hard and I want to do him proud because

it's his dance and he's worked really hard and the choreography's

always been amazing. I want to do him proud, I'll go out there and

give it everything I've got and hope that it's loads better than

the first time. How is the show dance? Can I ask? Come on? Actually,

Vincent doesn't do anything easy so we've literally chucked everything

at it but I love it, it's my favourite song and I can't wait to

do it. Bohemian Rhapsody show dance. It will be awesome? Pretty epic.

You are bound to be very nervous with the big final. Have you learnt

a little skill or knack for calming those nerves on a Saturday night?

Nope. Every week I think I'll be minister nervous than the week

before but getting cuddles off this man helps. You need to couple him

now. What are you going to say to Dani tomorrow night? Ie jiem going

to say, come on, Bella, let's do this, come on, it's the last time

we are going to dance together. We are going to be so happy. I think

we were part tkwroi a very special moment there, ladies and gentlemen.

You have survived this far without ever being in the dance-off. You

clever, clever monkeys, that's brilliant. It must feel good that

you are getting a lot of public support? It's the best feeling

knowing that the public have been voting for ever every week. That's

what's kept us in and it's been absolutely amazing. Is it strange

to think that after tomorrow you won't be dancing with each other

any more, no more training. How does that feel? It's horrible.

going to keep going. Sunday I'm going to choreograph, record myself

and send it to you, I promise you. I'll do the same and send it back.

Next weekend in his living room, we'll all be there to vote. Will

you be hanging up the magic Ruby slippers that have seen you through

so many dances or are you going to keep dancing? I'll keep dancing

because I've got so passionate about it and completely fallen in

love with ballroom and it's all thanks to him and I'm going to

knock at his door and beg him to dance with me constantly every week.

I think he might say yes. Earlier in the series, we saw you

make Dani a bit jealous of Rachel Stevens who you were in the final

with, you came second with. Can Dani finally win your heart do you

think tomorrow night? I think definitely. Every week has been so

different from each other. We have been playing different characters

every week. I've got a little sausage, my little boy, Luca and he

loves watching, he's my little biggest star and has watched every

single performance every single night and every week it's been so

different, different characters, yes, she's - what was the question

again?! I lost myself. Was there a question in there?

loving you. Anyway, I just adore this man. It's not just Vincent

though who wants you to win tomorrow night, Dani, of course.

You have a whole legion of supporters rooting for you.

When I knew Dani was serious ability performing, it was when she

was about five and she said to me, "Mummy, when I'm a Hollywood

actress, I'm going to buy you that yacht over there" and I said "Can I

have the house and car please first, darling". She would always make me

put on a show with her. The first week I saw her dance, I was sick

with nerves, my knees were knocking but I was very impressed and her

and Vincent dancing together, they were fantastic. They work well

together. It was great. As an uncle, within I watch Dani, it makes me

feel very proud, especially when you see the standing ovations.

Everybody on their feet. When she dances, it brings a tear to my eyes.

I like the Argentine tango and the American smooth. I'm say I'm one

very proud mummy Harmer. I'm so proud of you, I know you can make

it into the final, everybody's rooting for you and, as a big

sister, you are a great role model for me. Love you lots. Good luck

Dani, lts of luck. Best of luck to you and Vincent at the final. I'm

so proud of you and supporting you all the way and there's two people

up there who I know will be looking down on you. Nanny Betty and

grandad Jim and they'll be blowing you kisses. Love you, babe.

Good luck to you both tomorrow. Thank you. Dani and Vincent,

everybody. This is getting ridiculous. One

couple left. Kimberley and Pasha will be here in a minute. First,

the story of how the pop Princess became a Tansing Queen. Lordy.

will be making skweet music with Pasha Kovalev.. He's very kind,

very patient. I feel really grateful that I've got him. This

girl has character for sure. I think I'm ready to dance. Please

can you bring back the wow factor next week? Nimble Kimble!

Saturday night was amazing and it made me feel really excited about

the weeks to come. I thought it was lich. I didn't feel there was

enough conviction in the dance -- limp. You've got to do better than

that, girl. It was really good. wasn't.

I am a little bit hard on myself. think it doesn't actually help me.

We'll get lost in the dance and just enjoy it.

I liked it a lot. Such an improvement. Well done. We improved

and we are making progress. This week is Halloween week so I have to

get scared. Who's not afraid of the big bad wolf. I feel so happy that

we are moving up. Our highest score so far. Woooo...

Argh... I've been having problems with my knee for just over a week.

I kind of scraped it Saturday night, but obviously that's done more harm

than good. She's a real trooper and she'll never give up. The show mist

go on. You are such a natural performer. That was brilliant.

was. It's flown by. I don't know where the weeks have gone, but I'm

so happy I'm still here. That was such an emoitive performance, you

really moved me -- emotive. delicious Viennese. In the bottom

two tonight, it's Kimberley and Pasha. When we found out we were in

the bottom two, I was absolutely gutted. Being in the dance-off has

knocked my confidence a little bit but I'm going to come back stronger

and we are going to Wembley! If you are in the dance-off

tomorrow night, I'll pickle me walnuts! Fabulous. Kimberley, look

at this! Wembley was absolutely incredible. She's too sweet for

this dance. It's trying to keep serious all the time. It's not

meant to be funny. You are a moody pouting lady. Brilliant, I loved it.

We are stuck on our favourite number, 34. Mighty God of jive.

I'll pull out all the stops and hopefully shake that 34. Great

energy, great timing, almost perfect. Thank you. Very solid.

Very solid. We are not going to stop fighting now. The semi-final's

only a week away. I think we are going to love the tango. It's

really hard, smiling while pouting. Not that, but that. Hmm... I've got

to shmout! That is dancing! We were really hoping to push it up to 35,

you know, and then there it was, full house! The final feels like a

breath away and I want to be there so much. You weren't flying economy,

you were flying first class! last few months have meant a lot to

me. I've just loved every minute of learning every different dance. The

whole experience is just unforgettable. Please welcome

Kimberley and Pasha. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's emotional isn't it watching all those memories. You've done so

many dances. I knth believe how many dances we've done. -- can't

believe. We are all a bit emotional. How are the nerves today the day

before? Do you know what, I feel better after actually running it in

the studio today, but still just that constant childrening.

Childrening tummy? All the time. Shaky little hands. How did it go

today with the three dances? went well. Pretty well most of it.

A few little hitches here and there. How is she doing? She's doing great.

Absolutely great. No, we actually, it always feels different when you

go to the studio because it's a completely different place. You

kind of get used to it. When you bring the new dance to the studio,

it's disorientating, so we need to find where the cameras are and

stuff like that. But it's good. quite like it when he goes silent,

I think that thinks he he is thinking you are doing good. The

tango and waltz. Having a good Chortle there about 346789 what can

you help for tomorrow for those two? You have been working hard on

them? We have been working really hard on the comments we got from

the judges and I hope we can go out there, enjoy it and dance it better

than the first time. I think you are much more ready for them now.

You feel much more solid. Definitely 34 or better! Please can

we have more than 34. We don't want 28 thank you! The judges wanted to

see an improvement in your top line. How's that gone? We have been

working really hard. Top line! "Oh, I forgot"... Again! It pains me!

have three dances and judges would want to see an improvement in them

all, so we... We had to do that and get tough. A lot of pain there. The

show dance too. We are very excited about that. A show dance to Crazy

in Love and we have seen some spectacular dancing from you both.

What can we expect from the show dance without giving too much away?

There's a little bit more shaky- shaky in there. Obviously it's

Beyonce, it has to be done. Quite a few ambitious lifts too. Hopefully

they are going to be great. And do you know what, it's a really good

chance for us both to just go out there and enjoy it. And go for it?

We love dancing it. Has Pasha been pushing you because this is the

ultimate isn't it, this dance? Definitely. We've all pushed

ourselves this week, all the lifts are quite scary. She was afraid of

doing them at first. I forced her. Now she's like that, yeah... With

one little finger. You are used to performing at big occasions with

Girls Aloud. Is that going to help you tomorrow night? Do you know

what, I'm really not used to performing under this pressure.

Can't explain how different it feels. It's really strange. So I

don't know. I hope I can just go out there and do my best, you know,

for myself, for Pasha, but that is all I can do really. You will be

amazing! You have been so brilliant. How much does it help Pasha that

you have been in the final before with Chelsey? Does that help?

Experience helps and I was lucky enough to get two girls in the

final. He's good isn't he?! Bless you. Has Kimberley surprised you

with her talent? I knew she could move right from the start, but I

didn't know how much she can put into it and how dedicated she is

and this is what it's all about. If you are ready to go into ballroom

and give your all. She never said no to anything. Brilliant. She's

been incredible. Incredible. Ready for this? Tissues at the ready.

Brace yourselves for the messages Brace yourselves for the messages

from your loved ones. Kim brly's quite laid back -- Kimberley's laid

back, reliable and caring. She's a couple of years older than me and

growing up she took on the role of, I'm going to look after you and

your little sister. That's her natural instinct. It wasn't a

surprise that she wanted to do Strictly. From early on, she's been

obsessed with singing, dancing and performing. When I saw her step out

the first week and do her dance, I was thrilled to see her dance like

that. It was unbelievable. Watching her out there on her own doing

something that's completely new to her but excelling in it is amazing.

I've cried every single time whether good or bad comments, but

the pride is completely overwhelming. She's in Scaife hands

with Pasha because he's a lovely gentle man and brings the best side

out of her. The whole family have become a Pasha fan club.

When she puts her mind to something, she won't stop trying until he gets

things right, so I knew she would give it her all but I never thought

she would get to this standard she's at now. For her to get to the

final is just incredible. Makes me feel so proud and I think she

deserves it. If she were to win, I think I would probably burst into a

million pieces with pride. Kimberley, I just want to wish you

all the luck in the world for tomorrow. We are so proud of you

for getting to the final and we know you can do it.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Incredible. Good luck for the final.

You have been amazing, thank you so much for coming on. Give it up for

Kimberley and Pasha. In a second, I'll be catching up with some

familiar faces. It's our final show tonight, so it seems only fair to

show you our best bits. Hi-de-hi campers... Please welcome your host,

think the right people have made the final? This will be the bestest,

tightest final ever. Hello, lovely Lis. Nicky Byrne, how much do you

wish you were in the final? would have been great, but nice to
