:00:00. > :00:09.Hello, dance fans. Welcome to Friday's Strictly Come Dancing. On
:00:10. > :00:14.the show, Ashley and Ola tell me about their saucy Samba. Last week,
:00:15. > :00:19.the audience were on their feet, Deborah and Robin are here. I am
:00:20. > :00:24.getting the gossip in Elstree with Natalie and Artem. And if that is
:00:25. > :00:33.not enough, I am joined by a fabulous Friday panel, McFly's Tom
:00:34. > :00:37.Fletcher, the presenter, Jenni Falconer and the one and only
:00:38. > :01:22.Biggins! It is It Takes Two! Fro London, this is Strictly: It
:01:23. > :01:35.Takes Two. Please, welcome your host, Zoe Ball! Hello and welcome to
:01:36. > :01:40.Friday's It Takes Two. In 23 hours, 58 minute, our couples are taking to
:01:41. > :01:46.the floor again. I will be talking to Ashley and Ola and also Craig,
:01:47. > :01:51.but first, let's remember how they Sambaed their way to success.
:01:52. > :01:59.You are going to get plenty of love after this dance. You dream boat
:02:00. > :02:05.from Brazil! Very nice. Just do up the shirt next week. Then I will not
:02:06. > :02:12.be distracted! The bottom line is you have coped well with a very
:02:13. > :02:25.difficult dance! Well done. The hip rolls were filth! I loved
:02:26. > :02:38.it! That Samba was hot, baby. With the chest out, come on! Filth!
:02:39. > :02:44.Ashley and Ola, everybody! Shirtless shimmy, a great sam bar. It was a
:02:45. > :02:48.fantastic score. A top score for you. That is becoming a bit of a
:02:49. > :02:53.habit with you now? I hope it will be. It would be nice.
:02:54. > :03:00.Do you walk out and think, that is me? Yeah, as when you are doing it
:03:01. > :03:06.does not feel like that. It is a massive relief. And when the votes
:03:07. > :03:10.go well... And Ola, stat alert, the Samba has never been done this early
:03:11. > :03:17.in the competition. When they pulled it from the dance top hat, were you
:03:18. > :03:20.scared? I was very scared. I was thinking of begging the producers to
:03:21. > :03:24.change it, but then I thought it would be better to get it over and
:03:25. > :03:29.done with. Then we can forget about the Samba! I know you are loving the
:03:30. > :03:35.faith in you, aren't you? Just get it over and done with.
:03:36. > :03:40.Now they tell me! You wernt out there and you wowed the judges and
:03:41. > :03:44.audience, but apparently you were not 100% happy about it? I think it
:03:45. > :03:50.is just when you are rehearsing the dance. You get to a point you think
:03:51. > :03:55.you can do it. If you don't do it on the night how you think you can, it
:03:56. > :04:00.is disappointing, but with the scores, it was OK. I felt like I was
:04:01. > :04:04.chasing myself all the way through! Did you think it had gone wrong? I
:04:05. > :04:10.thought it was terrible. Thinking it was awful. Then I got the scores, I
:04:11. > :04:15.realised I had don OK. We don't really know, if you have
:04:16. > :04:20.gone wrong, we would never know. We know ourselves what the routine
:04:21. > :04:24.is. What we worked on. If it doesn't happen on the night, then Ashley
:04:25. > :04:30.gets upset. That is a good thing as he pushes himself to do well, but it
:04:31. > :04:35.is never going to be as good as the studio.
:04:36. > :04:38.Yes it is! Yes it is! It will be! I like that.
:04:39. > :04:42.That is hard for people to understand how different it is, from
:04:43. > :04:48.when you are doing it the two of you in the training room? It is. Four
:04:49. > :04:51.walls. It is comfortable doing it in the studio. Then you are dancing in
:04:52. > :04:56.front of millions of people. There is the band, the singing and people
:04:57. > :05:01.clapping. He is without his shirt on. He is thinking... I'm getting
:05:02. > :05:06.nervous now. We have to talk about the fact you
:05:07. > :05:12.are a new dad, but we have worked out that you, your baby son is not
:05:13. > :05:15.the only baby around. This is worrying.
:05:16. > :05:20.Men are like children. You have to do their shoes.
:05:21. > :05:29.Yes, mummy! # Baby love. Mummy! Dancing with
:05:30. > :05:33.Ola! Dancing with Ola! I will pretend what you did there. You did
:05:34. > :05:42.something silly there. I can't do this. How old are you?
:05:43. > :05:45.31? That is good. That is a good boy.
:05:46. > :05:55.I'm being really good. Thank you, Miss, can I go home now? You can go
:05:56. > :06:00.home - to bed! Oh! We to have a laugh. This week it is the Viennese
:06:01. > :06:06.Waltz. The last time you did the American Smooth. Do you like this
:06:07. > :06:10.one? I think for me with the slower dances like the waltz and the
:06:11. > :06:16.American Smooth. It is the music. It is easier to dance to. This song is
:06:17. > :06:23.emotional. It will is romantic. Let's listen. I will cry now.
:06:24. > :06:32.I know! Will there be tears? I am dancing with an angel. I've always
:06:33. > :06:41.wanted one. Now Len loves a feckle. He loves it.
:06:42. > :06:48.He call it is a feckle? How do you say it? A feckle? I love the way
:06:49. > :06:52.that Ola says it. You can do it? Yes! Of course he can. He is
:06:53. > :06:59.amazing. And can I say that me and Mr Z have
:07:00. > :07:04.been very much enjoying watching. Good luck tomorrow, I'm sure it will
:07:05. > :07:11.be beautiful, your Viennese Waltz. Ashley and Ola. Next up, Deborah and
:07:12. > :07:15.Robin's Quickstep lifted them "Higher and Higher" up the
:07:16. > :07:19.leaderboard, but let's remind ourselves of the weekend story.
:07:20. > :07:25.I love the pleasure you get from the dancing. It is fabulous. She loves
:07:26. > :07:31.it. You put a smile on my face, darling. I really enjoyed that.
:07:32. > :07:53.Your best dance to date, my lovely! I got a seven! I didn't even dream I
:07:54. > :08:00.would get that. Look what you did! We are a team, we did that together!
:08:01. > :08:08.And what a team. Please, welcome Deborah and Robin! Get you, lady.
:08:09. > :08:15.Seven all around and a personal best. How much fun did you have out
:08:16. > :08:20.there? A bit. Did it look like it? It did. It was so infeck shoes. The
:08:21. > :08:26.whole nation are egging you on. I did say it was my favourite dance.
:08:27. > :08:29.I thought I would go out and enjoy myself.
:08:30. > :08:35.I think that the music, the outfit was stunning and the dancing was
:08:36. > :08:39.second to none. Fantastic. Robin, you had to wait until the end. I
:08:40. > :08:46.know that must be a long night. How was it really for you? Were you
:08:47. > :08:51.terrified? It is hor ible, are seeing who is good, who is not. You
:08:52. > :08:57.start to zone out. It is a nearly two-hour show. You are waiting, the
:08:58. > :09:05.adrenaline starts to run down, but when you step on to the dance floor,
:09:06. > :09:10.you step up again. It es but then I caught sight of my husband, I
:09:11. > :09:17.thought, go home! Eyes on the job. Praise from the people. Nicola loved
:09:18. > :09:21.it saying it was brilliant, Deborah. Although there should have been at
:09:22. > :09:26.least one eight in the score! I like her.
:09:27. > :09:32.And shock, horror, you made Craig smile! There was a lovely comment.
:09:33. > :09:37.They were all lovely comments. I was concloud nine at the time. You were
:09:38. > :09:42.the first to make that happen! Get used to that. We know you get on
:09:43. > :09:51.well. That is apparent, but in training, sometimes Deborah does not
:09:52. > :09:56.want you to get too close! Swivel, swivel, tap step. You have issues
:09:57. > :10:01.when I get too close. I love Robin but he does get close
:10:02. > :10:06.into my face. You are sitting in there. So you want to be... Very
:10:07. > :10:16.close! # She's too close for comfort
:10:17. > :10:22.# Too close, too close... She gets a little shy, bless.
:10:23. > :10:32.Until we get to here. That is very close! I have made
:10:33. > :10:39.Deborah blush. We go. You just wait until we get to the
:10:40. > :10:47.rumba! That is closer than I get to most people at any time! I like it,
:10:48. > :10:51.you are a proper lady. You do have to get intimate in some smelly
:10:52. > :10:56.places. There is nothing smelly about Robin.
:10:57. > :11:01.You had the Quickstep last week, this week it is the Jive? Exactly.
:11:02. > :11:07.Four really, really fast dances on the trot. Is that fair? Why are we
:11:08. > :11:10.doing this? You are great at the fast dances.
:11:11. > :11:16.You must be getting so fit. I am not measuring it, but I am
:11:17. > :11:18.feeling fit. And I'm bruised. Look at that.
:11:19. > :11:23.I know, all of you. Let's hear the music. We are excited
:11:24. > :11:32.about this weekend... # We got to speed it up. Ready for
:11:33. > :11:38.the reveal. How did you feel when Robin told you you were dancing to
:11:39. > :11:45.Bucks Fizz? Well, to be honest, I thought no way. He said we would do
:11:46. > :11:50.the whole skirt. I thought it is not happening. Now, there is a moment.
:11:51. > :11:55.How did he persuade you? I never said yes to anything. Then I find
:11:56. > :12:00.myself a week later doing Bucks Fizz with the skirt hanging off.
:12:01. > :12:06.Have you decided what is going under knead r neath? A bigger skirt!
:12:07. > :12:11.Robin, I have heard there may be some kind of Barnet? If you are
:12:12. > :12:16.doing Bucks Fizz, you have to do it properly. That is all I will say.
:12:17. > :12:23.Watch this space to see it tomorrow. I am excited. You said to some of
:12:24. > :12:28.our lovely viewers filming you, you were worried that the jive looked
:12:29. > :12:33.like a Morris dance in places. Without the bells in fairness, but
:12:34. > :12:40.it did look a bit like a Morris dance. How is it now? Brilliant.
:12:41. > :12:45.Great. Good luck with the big reveal. We can't wait to see your
:12:46. > :12:50.Barnet. Deborah and Robin. It will be glorious. Earlier I went to
:12:51. > :12:56.Elstree to catch up with the latest goes yib. Over to you, Zoe.
:12:57. > :13:02.This is me having a sneaky look around. I have seen Dave limbering
:13:03. > :13:11.up. And as you have been so good dance lover, you can have a peek at
:13:12. > :13:16.Fiona and Anton's rumba. # You make me feel happy,
:13:17. > :13:22.# When I leave you behind, # It plays on my mind, now, hundred
:13:23. > :13:38., What will I do without you? # Took for granted, everything I
:13:39. > :13:42.had. Oh! Go on, Fiona. Looking good. We will see more of that tomorrow
:13:43. > :13:47.night. Look who we found it is Natalie and Artem. Hello. You have
:13:48. > :13:52.had, shall we say an interesting week this week? It has not been
:13:53. > :13:58.great. Tell me about your back, what is going on? Well, I m a an actress,
:13:59. > :14:05.I like to bring the drama to Strictly. It has been a scary week.
:14:06. > :14:10.On Tuesday my leg was going numb. I was feeling faint. I had throbbing.
:14:11. > :14:14.I could not lift the leg. It was a frightening few days.
:14:15. > :14:21.Is this an injury you have had for a while? Is it an existing injury? It
:14:22. > :14:27.is a weak area. I have had problems in my lower back, but it did feel
:14:28. > :14:33.different. I tried not to panic too much, but lots of pain killers and
:14:34. > :14:41.epidurals. So what have the doctors said? I
:14:42. > :14:47.have had fantastic care. I have been passed from er post. I have a disc
:14:48. > :14:54.with a tear in the fluid. That is nasty. Then the facet joints are
:14:55. > :14:59.inflamed, whatever that means. That is never good. That is causing
:15:00. > :15:07.horrible nerve pain down the legs, but I have had an epidural.
:15:08. > :15:15.And I am shortly to give birth to a Quickstep on Saturday! Now to all of
:15:16. > :15:20.your lovely fan, will you be able to dance? Will we see you on the dance
:15:21. > :15:27.floor tomorrow? I can dance! Thank goodness for that! Artem, have you
:15:28. > :15:34.you coped with it all? I have had some time off. He has been enjoying
:15:35. > :15:40.himself! Obviously you love the dance. So it is one of your
:15:41. > :15:44.favourite routines so far. It would be a shame if something like this
:15:45. > :15:47.stops her from competing in the competition.
:15:48. > :15:51.This is the Quickstep. It would be awful.
:15:52. > :15:54.How much training have you missed? Two-and-a-half days.
:15:55. > :15:59.How confident are you to give it your best tomorrow night? To be
:16:00. > :16:04.honest after what I have been through, I am so glad to be here,
:16:05. > :16:08.not that I don't care how it goes but I'm not worrying too much. I
:16:09. > :16:12.know it will not be what it should be, but I'm happy to be here. I'm
:16:13. > :16:18.happy to get to enjoy the dance on Saturday. We will go for it.
:16:19. > :16:24.You will be amazing. You are dancing to Usher, a jazzy number. Let's have
:16:25. > :16:28.a listen... There are props as well. Tell me more.
:16:29. > :16:35.Come on. Prop drop! Don't do that! Don't jinx
:16:36. > :16:44.yourself! What sort of props are they? We have canes in the routine.
:16:45. > :16:48.They are named? Sir Michael Cane! I was supposed to take him everywhere
:16:49. > :16:54.with me to guarantee that nothing would go wrong but obviously we have
:16:55. > :16:59.had a diversion. You can't take it with you to the MRI! That is
:17:00. > :17:05.understandable. Really glad you are able to dance. Obviously if you were
:17:06. > :17:11.not allowed to by the doctors, we would forgive you. Good luck with
:17:12. > :17:16.the canes. Living to dance another day. Now,
:17:17. > :17:23.that is the peak around Elstree. Now back to her in the studio! I think
:17:24. > :17:31.she is OK. Last year, I am talking about me, obviously! Last year we
:17:32. > :17:36.brought in a menagerie of animals to dictate which celebrities would be
:17:37. > :17:41.on the leaderboard, but this year we have some magical fun, this is our
:17:42. > :18:22.predictive pup. Ridiculous! Oh! Indeed. Look forward to finding
:18:23. > :18:27.out how good his choice is. Now, what do my in connection guests
:18:28. > :18:34.think? Here to give us their views on the week's action, it is McFly's
:18:35. > :18:40.Tom Fletcher, the presenter, Jenni Falconer and the fantastic Mr
:18:41. > :18:47.Biggins! Beautiful! Hello you lovely people.
:18:48. > :18:54.Hello, Zoe! Welcome to the glitz. I will start with the ladies first.
:18:55. > :18:59.How mystical do you think that Lucky the Mutt may be? I like the process.
:19:00. > :19:02.I think that Deborah is improving. She does the fast dances so well. I
:19:03. > :19:13.would like to see heroine. She will be chuffed.
:19:14. > :19:18.Christopher, who are you Bigging Up! ? You have thought about that. I
:19:19. > :19:25.love Sophie. I think she is fantastic. I saw an interview early
:19:26. > :19:27.on. She was nervous. I think she is doing so well. She could surprise
:19:28. > :19:34.us. Tom, we have to say happy
:19:35. > :19:38.anniversary to McFly, ten years. Fantastic. I watched your wedding
:19:39. > :19:43.speech on the internet. I was sobbing. If you have not seen it,
:19:44. > :19:46.watch it, it is amazing. And Harry doing the wedding dance was
:19:47. > :19:51.beautiful. Trying to sneak in with the YouTube
:19:52. > :19:56.success. As if Strictly is not enough! Now, let's talk about the
:19:57. > :20:03.couples. Julien and Janette are doing a salsa to the Spice Girls.
:20:04. > :20:11.Jenni, do you think that Julien can avoid the dance-off? He has been in
:20:12. > :20:16.the bottom two twice now? Julien is having fun. I wonder if he is having
:20:17. > :20:24.fun like you do on a Saturday night with a couple of drinks? What is he
:20:25. > :20:28.wearing? Little boy shorts? He is a designer, he knows what people
:20:29. > :20:34.should bewaring! Will I have to wear that? ! He could make it for you!
:20:35. > :20:41.All of the girls are benefitting from Julien gowns. Abbey... Have you
:20:42. > :20:46.had one yet? I don't think I could squeeze into one. It is not ideal at
:20:47. > :20:52.my age! What about the song, Tom. What about the Spice Girls, is it a
:20:53. > :20:57.winner? I love the Spice Girls. It is great. A great song. A bit of
:20:58. > :21:03.smoke and mirrors to hide some of his dancing... Very diplomatic of
:21:04. > :21:09.you. Dave and Karen are doing a waltz to the Eagles. Here they are
:21:10. > :21:13.in the training room. Christopher, Craig gave him a two. The
:21:14. > :21:18.journallings are harsh on him. What do you make of him -- judges.
:21:19. > :21:22.Dave is brilliant. He is funny. This is what I love about the programme.
:21:23. > :21:28.You have to have a laugh. He gives you a laugh. And his face. He is so
:21:29. > :21:34.serious, so intent! He really wants to well but he can't! But he is
:21:35. > :21:38.wonderful. Wonderful. I hope that he goes on for weeks and
:21:39. > :21:45.weeks. He may well do. Jenni, Len calling
:21:46. > :21:50.the people's champion, Dave, what do you think is the future? He is
:21:51. > :21:53.always someone we love and the judges don't, but I think he is good
:21:54. > :21:58.value. We want someone like that. There are so many brilliant dancers.
:21:59. > :22:01.He is putting in a good effort. He is.
:22:02. > :22:06.Doing the same training hours. And it is nice to see him not be as
:22:07. > :22:13.good as everyone else. Now, Rachel and Pasha. I love this
:22:14. > :22:19.song, the Boom, Boom. Tom, what do you think? It is very
:22:20. > :22:25.fast. Look at their feet! Being dragged around slightly there, but a
:22:26. > :22:28.great song. It will be very quick, energetic. Interesting if they can
:22:29. > :22:33.keep up. Do you think that Rachel can keep
:22:34. > :22:37.up? I think she has been amazing. Obviously they get better each week.
:22:38. > :22:42.It is a good test. Her confidence is growing. Her
:22:43. > :22:46.second Latin was better than the salsa? I think it is better when she
:22:47. > :22:52.is taken around the room by her partner. That helps her a lot. It
:22:53. > :22:55.helps anybody! Deborah says it is easier in hold, you feel more
:22:56. > :23:01.confident. You feel like they are holding on to
:23:02. > :23:06.you, you are being lifted together. Can they lift you then? I will do
:23:07. > :23:14.the programme one year. Is that official? ! Biggins is in!
:23:15. > :23:21.My partner will be a JC B digger. It will be lovely. Yellow is in! Let's
:23:22. > :23:29.talk about Sophie and Brendon. She is doing a foxtrot. She has got
:23:30. > :23:36.Cheek To Cheek. Have you danced to this? No, I haven't, but she is
:23:37. > :23:42.Ginger Rogers and he is Little Fred. What do you think of this? I think,
:23:43. > :23:49.oh, that was not so good, but I think she will do it brilliantly.
:23:50. > :23:55.They got two nines from Darcey and Len, hang on, that is Susanna and
:23:56. > :24:02.Kevin. It's been a long week! Let's talk about Susanna, she is doing a
:24:03. > :24:06.Samba, apparently there is an Indiana Jones theme to this.
:24:07. > :24:13.She is hot. Would you expect so much from a news
:24:14. > :24:21.girl? I train with her, we have run a marathon together. She is amazing.
:24:22. > :24:27.She is the Angela Ripon of the day! She kicks off the legs.
:24:28. > :24:35.Angela did all of that dancing. She has shut you up.
:24:36. > :24:41.Let's talk about Ali and Aljaz. They were doing a tango to Florence and
:24:42. > :24:50.the Machine. Tom, will this work? It is ng. It is a passionate song.
:24:51. > :24:57.It is fierce. Do you like Abbey? They are a great
:24:58. > :25:04.couple. Very ugly, though? I can hardly bare to watch it! Craig says
:25:05. > :25:08.she needs more attack. Jenni, is there enough attack in the tango.
:25:09. > :25:14.I think she will. If they listen to the judges, they will take it on
:25:15. > :25:19.board. I'm sure she will. She looked good there.
:25:20. > :25:27.And Anya and Patrick. The judges say he is Mr Style. He styling this one
:25:28. > :25:32.out for you? He looks great there. With those shoes too. I saw him
