:02:09. > :02:16.will be dancing a samba. I will be talking to them in a moment. First a
:02:16. > :02:21.recap of how they faired last week. I think you couldn't be smoother if
:02:21. > :02:28.you tried. You put the oo in smooth, I mean T you came out with it. It
:02:28. > :02:34.had lovely flow. -- I mean it. You have some problems. Are you wrist is
:02:34. > :02:38.broken like this. It should be flat. -- your wrist. But fantastic
:02:38. > :02:44.showman. The whole thing was incredible. So impressive. You are
:02:44. > :02:49.going to go far. 7 9. 8.
:02:49. > :02:54.Wow. It was a good score. I was surprised by the score. So buzzing.

:02:58. > :03:04.Please welcome our American smoothies, Ashley and Ola.
:03:04. > :03:08.Oh, do you know what, it was an absolute stunner. Well worth the
:03:08. > :03:14.wait until the end of the show. Like old Hollywood razzmatazz. Did you
:03:15. > :03:18.enjoy that? I did. The music as well. You felt like you were dancing
:03:18. > :03:21.with the music. It was a bit like Fred Astaire and you felt like -
:03:22. > :03:25.wow, I can'ted believe I'm doing this. -- I can't believe. First week
:03:25. > :03:29.of the show you were on first. Last week they made you wait to the end.
:03:29. > :03:34.How hideous was that wait? It was horrible. It went from one extreme
:03:34. > :03:37.to the other. This week I have nothing to worry about. It doesn't
:03:37. > :03:42.matter where I dance now. You were very nervous. Very. Talking of the
:03:42. > :03:48.nerves, you had that thing like Len mentioned when you get your lip
:03:48. > :03:53.stuck. Has anyone given you tips? This week I'm going to put a whole
:03:53. > :03:58.tub of Vaseline on my mouth. That's what I have been tweeted about.
:03:58. > :04:01.You will probably see me frothing instead. Ola, the fist thing you
:04:01. > :04:04.You will probably see me frothing finished mid-week and last week
:04:04. > :04:08.Ashley goes right up here. Do you think the judges were pleasantly
:04:08. > :04:13.surprised? I think so. It was really good. I mean, we upped our game. We
:04:13. > :04:18.were better. Hopefully we can keep that up there. So, fingers crossed.
:04:18. > :04:22.You know, that we will get better every week. She is never going to be
:04:22. > :04:27.satisfied until you are right at the top. Just remember that. The thing
:04:27. > :04:30.is you have a crazy schedule. An explosive week next week in
:04:30. > :04:35.Hollyoaks. It is not a wonder you were getting a dry mouth. Your
:04:35. > :04:40.energy levels are up here and down here. Have a look at this.
:04:40. > :04:50.# I like to move it, move it... # Good, much better. I came in with
:04:50. > :04:56.energy. And then when it came to doing it, I didn't know what I was
:04:56. > :05:00.doing, I was like a zm by. -- zombie. I can't remember T My head
:05:00. > :05:13.has gone. He is done. He can't take it any more. I need to get a drink.
:05:13. > :05:20.Five, six, seven, eight. Good. Better.
:05:20. > :05:32.Yeah! Bless you. I feel for you. It is
:05:32. > :05:37.samba this week. You had a great week last week. You come in and it
:05:37. > :05:41.is like - samba. Tricky dance. Is it your friend? It has not been my
:05:41. > :05:45.friend. If it was, we fell out straight awane we didn't get on --
:05:45. > :05:48.and we didn't get on. We should have gone for a date to smooth it over. I
:05:49. > :05:52.love the dance now. I did enjoy it. We missed a day of training. You
:05:52. > :05:56.have not been really well? I have been ill. We had to miss a day of
:05:56. > :06:01.training. I haven't been very good. I have to go the to doctors. How are
:06:01. > :06:07.you feeling? I'm alive. I'm OK, I will go for it tomorrow. Don't get
:06:07. > :06:11.too close, will you? It is a hard dance. Is it difficult
:06:11. > :06:15.when you are a pro answer you do a dance that you love and when you
:06:15. > :06:19.come back in on the Monday, they don't like it, is it hard for you It
:06:19. > :06:23.is hard. To convince your partner it is going to be amazing, you have to
:06:23. > :06:28.believe T but I think we are going to be OK. Believe it. But you have a
:06:28. > :06:37.good tune. This is one that gets the kids up and Auntie she willia.
:06:37. > :06:40.-- Andy Sheila. With the last dance they were
:06:40. > :06:46.talking about your hips. Are they loose now They are so loose these
:06:46. > :06:54.days. They have been well-oiled. You are making an entrance. Tell me it
:06:54. > :06:58.is on a pogo stick. I'm jumping off a helicopter on to the floor. And
:06:58. > :07:03.doing flips on the way down. She is winding me up. Not really. I must
:07:03. > :07:09.say happy tenth wedding anniversary to Ola and James for tomorrow. Ten
:07:09. > :07:16.years, married to James Jordan, incredible. Thank you.
:07:16. > :07:23.Good luck. On Saturday night, Ben tackled the
:07:23. > :07:29.waltz. While it was his suave persona that attracted Bruno, Craig
:07:29. > :07:33.waltz. While it was his suave was more attracted by his butt. You
:07:33. > :07:37.are like Stonehenge, you look magnificent but don't move much. But
:07:37. > :07:42.better than loost week. Simple, effective. You had natural charm.
:07:42. > :07:45.You need to inject more personality into it, really. You have a suave,
:07:45. > :07:48.gentlemen coming through, which is great. I would just like to see a
:07:48. > :08:01.little bit more connection between you. A little bit more romance but a
:08:01. > :08:05.great improvement, really. 6. 7. 6. Thank you so much. You are a good
:08:05. > :08:10.teacher. It was much better than last week. Improvement. I'm happy
:08:10. > :08:17.with that. Please welcome Ben and Kristina.
:08:17. > :08:21.! Lovely to have you here.
:08:21. > :08:26.Well done last week. It was beautiful. How was it for you? Is
:08:26. > :08:29.your confidence building? Is it getting easier? The first two weeks
:08:29. > :08:33.have been the most nerve-wrecking things I have ever done. Really?
:08:33. > :08:37.They have been so hard. It is different when you play rugby. I
:08:37. > :08:42.have never danced before. To go out and dance in front of 10 million
:08:42. > :08:46.people and get judged. I have come from the drunken stumble, you know.
:08:46. > :08:50.You have come a long way. Thank you very much. You are very kind.
:08:50. > :08:52.Getting confidence up. It is getting there. We have to mention it. Your
:08:52. > :08:57.bottom, caused quite a stir on the there. We have to mention it. Your
:08:57. > :09:02.show. Oh, yeah. My bottom. Katherine, from Port Talbot has
:09:02. > :09:08.thrown in her two penneth. "Ben, I didn't take my eyes off your bottom,
:09:08. > :09:18.you get a 10 for that" Did you have any idea that one's derriere could
:09:18. > :09:24.become such a stir? Like J-Lo's? My bottom, bless it, has come in for
:09:24. > :09:29.criticism. All I've had is - tuck your bottom under and frame and one,
:09:29. > :09:33.two, three. It is such a lovely bottom, as well. It has done me good
:09:33. > :09:38.so far. In my sporting days. Probably not in the dancing arena
:09:38. > :09:42.but maybe I can nip it under a little bit. Tuck it. Tuck it. It is
:09:42. > :09:49.hard, though, it is difficult to do that. Kristina, you must be pleased.
:09:49. > :09:54.19, this week, 25, slowly, slowly, catchy monkey. Up the leaderboard
:09:54. > :09:58.you go. I think he is one of those examples for the show when he starts
:09:58. > :10:01.slowly and learns and gets better. He works so hard. It is
:10:01. > :10:06.unbelievable. So many hours, you know. I'm so proud of him. Craig
:10:06. > :10:12.says he wants you to smile a bit more out on the dancefloor. It is a
:10:12. > :10:16.lovely smile. You are feeling pulled apart by everybody. You know what,
:10:16. > :10:20.you put yourself out there to be criticised, you know. I want to
:10:20. > :10:24.learn. I genuinely want to do really well but it is hard. You are
:10:24. > :10:28.concentrating on your frame, the next step and looking at cameras.
:10:28. > :10:35.The next minute I think - I've got to smile. Oh, a nice natural, oh,
:10:35. > :10:41.don't forget the smile. As each week comes, it comes naturally. I'm
:10:41. > :10:45.waiting for that to happen. So am I. And Len talking about your frame
:10:45. > :10:53.being like Stonehenge. Kristina is it hard working - it must be a night
:10:53. > :10:57.mayor for you. - a nightmare. My life is so hard. What was the
:10:57. > :11:01.question again. I don't know. Katherine obsessed with your bottom.
:11:01. > :11:07.Craig talking about your smile and Kristina, you are obsessed with his
:11:07. > :11:12.muscles. Have a look. Oh, no. Ben is a strong and big guy. He has
:11:12. > :11:17.massive muscles. He has very strong arms.
:11:17. > :11:23.He is a great shape and he has very strong legs.
:11:23. > :11:26.# He's go the to be so mash yoe. -- macho.
:11:26. > :11:32.He has beautiful arms and shoulders. He has great frame, great muscles.
:11:32. > :11:38.Great body and big muscles, muscles, muscles. He is so strong and
:11:38. > :11:43.powerful. He literally throws me off my feet
:11:43. > :11:50.and I'm losing my balance. That was too much for me.
:11:50. > :11:56.I'm too masculine. -- am I too masculine? A little bit.
:11:56. > :12:01.It's just a bit of fun, Kristina. How you couldn't mention it, as
:12:01. > :12:06.well? Exactly. It is the rumba this week. It is often a very tough dance
:12:06. > :12:10.for the man. How is it going, Ben? We think you look good in the
:12:10. > :12:14.training room. That's kind of you. I think he is great. He has worked
:12:14. > :12:18.loads of hours and worked hard. We are hear what you are dancing to.
:12:18. > :12:23.Here we go, the dance of love. Does that make your palms calmy? It makes
:12:23. > :12:29.my heart drop. My nerves are racing.
:12:29. > :12:35.Act it out tomorrow. Good luck. Ben and Kristina.
:12:35. > :12:40.Thank you. Earlier on today I took my weekly trip to Elstree for a roam
:12:40. > :12:43.around the studio and a catch up with the couples as they cram in
:12:43. > :12:50.last-minute rehearsals. Here is what happened. Over to you, Zoe.
:12:50. > :12:58.Oh, getting myself in the mood. Here we are, it is rehearsal day. Love
:12:58. > :13:05.hearts everywhere. Why don't we have a sneaky peek of Patrick and Anya.
:13:05. > :13:09.Let there be Foxtrot. # Let there be oysters
:13:09. > :13:22.# Under the sea # Let there be wind
:13:22. > :13:27.# an occasional rain # Chilli concarne... #
:13:27. > :13:35.Oh, glorious, Patrick, Anya. Come and join me. Looking good.
:13:35. > :13:42.So graceful. Such a lovely pace. So exciting. Welcome to It Takes Two. I
:13:42. > :13:46.hope you have had an exciting week. Tango-tastic. So powerful. Did you
:13:46. > :13:51.enjoy your performance? Yeah, all the way through and right at the end
:13:51. > :13:56.it was like, yeah. Talking to Anya, I hear, is it true, that just before
:13:56. > :14:02.you went on stage you heard the words that no pro dancer wants it
:14:02. > :14:09.hear from Patrick, "I've forgotten my steps." No he said "I don't
:14:09. > :14:14.remember how it starts." I said, "What?" I said, "Just breathe." The
:14:14. > :14:18.remember how it starts." I said, thing is, it is all in there. It is
:14:18. > :14:22.the fear. It grips you. Also, Len was saying last week that he thought
:14:22. > :14:32.it could have been more exact. Karen Hardy on core grovy corner was cross
:14:32. > :14:36.-- on Choreography Corner. What did you think? Were you pleased? It was
:14:36. > :14:40.the first ballroom. I didn't break the hold. I was challenging him. I
:14:40. > :14:45.did ballroom dance throughout from the beat in to the end. I thought he
:14:46. > :14:50.did amazing, a superb job. It could have been, of course, tighter but
:14:50. > :14:55.for the first ballroom dance... Exactly. Thank you Karen Hardy. You
:14:55. > :15:00.need her support. It is good. Craig last week obsessed with bottoms, he
:15:00. > :15:02.was talking with Ben's bottom and your bottom. He was saying it sticks
:15:02. > :15:08.out and he wasn't happy about that. your bottom. He was saying it sticks
:15:08. > :15:11.Were you aware of this? Well, you know, it is probably just a West
:15:11. > :15:17.Indian trait that we have for buttocks that I can't say anything
:15:17. > :15:21.about. It could have been in a bit more. Who knows. I'm quite pleased
:15:21. > :15:26.with that. A lot of people think you have a fine bottom. We have been
:15:26. > :15:31.working on that. You have foxtrot. We saw a bit. It looks glorious. Has
:15:31. > :15:35.Patrick taken to it well? Yes, it has been a very, very challenging
:15:35. > :15:42.week. That's right. Very challenging. Why? What in
:15:42. > :15:48.particular? For me, it's the slow-controlled rise and fall. And
:15:48. > :15:54.that, for me, and holding your frame, your core. So I have to
:15:54. > :15:59.work... Doubly hard. Trebly hard. It is a really complicated dance, with
:15:59. > :16:05.the slow, quick, quick, slow, something like that. The song is
:16:05. > :16:10.very meaningful on an emotional level. Tell me why? My dad used to
:16:10. > :16:15.play Nat King Cole on a Sunday. It would remind of me of my mother who
:16:15. > :16:18.was in America at the time. For me as a young boy it was always very
:16:18. > :16:22.special. It could be an emotional night on Saturday. I think it is
:16:22. > :16:25.going to be a mighty fine foxtrot. Good luck. Thank you for talking to
:16:25. > :16:30.us. Now, a sneaky beganeder across the
:16:30. > :16:34.floor she goes like a delicate elephant. Fiona and Anton. I hope
:16:34. > :16:39.you have had a glorious week. Let's touch on it briefly and we will move
:16:39. > :16:43.on and never speak of it again. On Saturday night, that tiny little
:16:43. > :16:48.incident, what happened? Talk me through it? Um, well at that point,
:16:48. > :16:53.my brain stopped sending messages to my feet. I don't know what was going
:16:53. > :16:59.on. I stepped off on the wrong foot. Then chaos broke out. Only briefly.
:16:59. > :17:03.Only for a second. It was right at the end. I was so cross because it
:17:03. > :17:07.was going swimmingly until then. Anton, it is the true test of a
:17:07. > :17:11.dancer, how you recover from a mistake. Did she do well?
:17:11. > :17:17.Magnificently. I thought the rest of the dance, up until that very
:17:17. > :17:21.slight, slight - I mean I barely even saw it. I thought maybe I'd
:17:21. > :17:25.gone wrong? It was a major car crash. Up to that point it was
:17:25. > :17:30.tremendous. It is the skill - I mean, to go slightly wrong and not
:17:30. > :17:34.be thrown off completely, is incredible, really. Seeing as we
:17:34. > :17:38.only get such a short period of time to work on it. That's the real test,
:17:38. > :17:42.to be able to get back into it quickly. The judges were really
:17:42. > :17:45.impressed. Len was saying how amazing you are out of hold, out
:17:45. > :17:50.there on your own. You are really good. You must be pleased. I was
:17:50. > :17:56.really, pleased with the comments. Craig was also very generous. I was
:17:56. > :18:03.stunned. This week it is the waltz. As the King of waltz, King Anton, I
:18:03. > :18:07.bow to you, how is Fiona doing? Actually, really, really lovely. It
:18:07. > :18:12.is a dance that suits Fiona down to the ground. Really? She's elegant
:18:12. > :18:16.and sophisticated and lovely and moves across the floor so
:18:16. > :18:21.beautifully. And I'm looking forward to it enormously. I'm going to have
:18:21. > :18:28.a lovely time. I prefer Latin, actually. You have broken his little
:18:28. > :18:30.heart. It is like a dagger. There is a High Society theme. This is your
:18:30. > :18:45.music. This is a beautiful thing.
:18:45. > :18:51.It is from High Society the Pat boon version. Will you channelling Bing
:18:51. > :18:55.Crosby or Frank Sinatra tomorrow night? Binge.
:18:55. > :18:59.Crosby or Frank Sinatra tomorrow -- Bing. We are Grace Kelly and Bing
:19:00. > :19:05.Crosby-light. How are you finding the waltz? Are you loving it it? It
:19:05. > :19:09.is harder than it perhaps looks. It is, isn't it? I thought it was going
:19:09. > :19:13.to be relatively, easy. But actually it is more complicated than the
:19:13. > :19:19.cha-cha. I am finding it difficult because of the position of the upper
:19:20. > :19:22.body and everything. That natural position of having your head up
:19:23. > :19:28.there. I wake up in the morning and think - help me. I think it will be
:19:28. > :19:34.glorious. We must say happy birthday to Fiona for yesterday. Good luck. I
:19:34. > :19:38.know it will be fabulous. Thank you, Zoe. Time for us to leave these
:19:38. > :19:44.lovely people in their rehearsals, which is very important, and go back
:19:44. > :19:49.to the glitter dome. Thanks Blondie, she is good. After wowing the
:19:49. > :19:53.audience on Sunday night we wanted Matt Goss action of our own. He is
:19:53. > :19:59.on our Friday panel in a moment but for all of you die-hard Brossettes,
