:00:00. > :00:09.Tonight we have the Thriller zombies of Halloween, Jeremy and Karen.
:00:10. > :00:14.The corpse bride herself, Natalie Lowe.
:00:15. > :00:16.And the ghosts of Strictly past, Kirsty and Brendan.
:00:17. > :01:26.Live from London, this is Strictly: It Takes Two. Please welcome your
:01:27. > :01:27.post, Zoe Ball. Hello and welcome to It Takes Two.
:01:28. > :01:30.Our Halloween weekend came to a frosty finish last night as the grim
:01:31. > :01:33.reaper swooped in and stole away our beloved Kirsty and Brendan.
:01:34. > :01:38.Luckily, their afterlife begins right here.
:01:39. > :01:45.Plus the enchanting Natalie Lowe is here and ready to scrutinise
:01:46. > :01:53.Now, unfortunately Kirsty and Brendan are unable to join us
:01:54. > :01:56.live this evening but I did catch up with them earlier today to discuss
:01:57. > :02:09.# This place is coming like a ghost town.
:02:10. > :02:38.# Bands won't play no more. I know, it's like a you're here, but
:02:39. > :02:45.boo. How are feeling? I feel really sad. I kind of wasn't ready to go,
:02:46. > :02:52.to be honest. But I do feel that Jamelia was better in the dance-off.
:02:53. > :02:56.So I didn't want to send anyone else out but it's sad. You feel quite
:02:57. > :03:01.deflated. For three months now, we have been hard at it, training,
:03:02. > :03:06.trying to be the best we can, and then it comes to your time and as
:03:07. > :03:11.much as you think, philosophically, it's our time, you still go, oh!
:03:12. > :03:15.Disappointing, but throughout the run, I think a great job and
:03:16. > :03:22.something to be really proud of. It is not an easy show to do. Did you
:03:23. > :03:28.enjoy the Charleston? It was a cheeky number. I loved it. I thought
:03:29. > :03:31.it was fun. I enjoyed all cheeky number. I loved it. I thought
:03:32. > :03:33.components of the left and cheeky number. I loved it. I thought
:03:34. > :03:39.music. But we did make cheeky number. I loved it. I thought
:03:40. > :03:44.the first run. I made a mistake because I crossed my hands over. I
:03:45. > :03:48.have never done that ever before. Don't ask me what went on, I just
:03:49. > :03:54.won't like that and he could clearly not pick me up. So I did that, and
:03:55. > :03:57.we made the best of it, I did get back into it. Lots of praise from
:03:58. > :04:04.the judges about how you recovered. A lot of people would have just
:04:05. > :04:08.gone, I'm out of here. Well, I was used to the thought process because
:04:09. > :04:12.Brendan had said to me with the Charleston you have got to keep the
:04:13. > :04:17.energy high, because you start to lose it a little bit because it is a
:04:18. > :04:21.tiring dance. So I just thought, you have to get back into it and get on
:04:22. > :04:27.with it, just like you would as if you were feeling like you were
:04:28. > :04:31.flaking out a bit. The judges give you criticism and you always took it
:04:32. > :04:35.on board. I think you were hard on yourself during your training. I
:04:36. > :04:41.know how hard you have tried. Have you enjoyed your experience? I have
:04:42. > :04:46.loved it. The thing with me, I put everything into everything I do.
:04:47. > :04:49.That is... And also, I have never danced before so I knew I had to
:04:50. > :04:53.work hard. And I have enjoyed every minute. Brendan is amazing, such a
:04:54. > :05:00.great friend, I knew, lovely friend. And all of the people, all the
:05:01. > :05:03.dancers on the other contestants, it has just been such a lovely family
:05:04. > :05:09.and that is the bit I am going to mess. The camaraderie is amazing. On
:05:10. > :05:13.Friday, I get really excited in the morning. I'm going to miss that,
:05:14. > :05:19.that is making me quite sad to think about. What was your favourite
:05:20. > :05:23.dance? Because there have been some beautiful ones. The Viennese waltz
:05:24. > :05:27.was stunning and I loved the Lady and the Tramp. I loved the Viennese
:05:28. > :05:35.waltz, but I actually loved doing the salsa. I love that dance. Just
:05:36. > :05:43.letting rip. It was an early dance and it was not the best but I loved
:05:44. > :05:46.it. It was quite a good memory. Also, because the week before had
:05:47. > :05:50.been the first week and I was so nervous about the dance, and I
:05:51. > :05:57.thought sort of thought, you have to really do something. And we did go
:05:58. > :06:04.scary lefts and things. I nearly knocked him off his feet. I loved
:06:05. > :06:09.it. Brendan, what was your personal favourite? Probably the American
:06:10. > :06:13.smooth. I loved the train. We had limited training, so we threw
:06:14. > :06:17.everything at it. And I think that is the thing, with a process like
:06:18. > :06:25.this. You get respect for somebody when you see how they work. Kirsty
:06:26. > :06:30.was not afraid to get stuck in and that made me happy. The way you
:06:31. > :06:35.turned the process, when we started I was not hopeful because she had
:06:36. > :06:41.not danced before and she was very stiff and scared. She was scared of
:06:42. > :06:48.it. But once we turned the corner, some of the fear disappearing, she
:06:49. > :06:51.started to become a dancer and that is exciting, that is as good as
:06:52. > :06:56.someone like Jay getting a ten that week. The step from here to here is
:06:57. > :07:03.fantastic and I was really proud of that. That particular dance, in
:07:04. > :07:09.particular, the was a smoothness, a softening. It was not quite there
:07:10. > :07:14.for the show but there was some. And that is the live show. So many
:07:15. > :07:17.people are really sad to leave the competition. Including Harry Judd,
:07:18. > :07:21.who said, well done, you were awesome. We have a little present
:07:22. > :07:29.for you to take away, your Strictly story. Who would you like to see
:07:30. > :07:33.take the trophy? If you had to choose? I couldn't possibly say.
:07:34. > :07:42.There are so many great dancers and people are moving all the time. Tell
:07:43. > :07:46.me about it. Thank you for being so much fun. You have been amazing.
:07:47. > :07:55.Kirsty and Brenton. Thank you to everybody who supported us. And here
:07:56. > :08:02.is the Strictly story. The man giving you a sporting chance...
:08:03. > :08:06.Brendan. Brendan's and was fabulous. I am nervous but I don't want to let
:08:07. > :08:16.the nerves take over. Your feet were all over the place. She does this...
:08:17. > :08:26.I just want to have fun and show everybody I have got confidence. The
:08:27. > :08:31.lifts were terrific. Well done. I am a dancing dog tonight. Great
:08:32. > :08:38.improvement. I got a little tangled up with my tale. Tales are going to
:08:39. > :08:42.do that. I don't like this step, I don't like it. I don't care. I'm not
:08:43. > :08:47.sure we have worked out who is the boss yet. It was like my ally, tasty
:08:48. > :08:55.and places but there are always funny bits floating about. -- it was
:08:56. > :08:59.like paella. I think he's going to have to start shouting at me. Do you
:09:00. > :09:05.really want that from Brendan? Lovely, I think we are quite good.
:09:06. > :09:14.You are amazing. Actually, you were dancing tonight. I can do it. I'm
:09:15. > :09:20.just not ready to go. That was scary. It's not going wrong or
:09:21. > :09:31.making mistakes, it is how you cope with them and I thought you coped
:09:32. > :09:41.very well. Three... Five. Five. Four. I would like to save Jamelia
:09:42. > :09:45.and Tristan. Jamelia and Tristan. It has been a wonderful experience
:09:46. > :09:49.but I want to say thank you to Brendan, who has been incredible. I
:09:50. > :09:51.have seen somebody who has had no dance experience become quite the
:09:52. > :10:01.performer. I am so proud of you. Well done. Always sad to see people
:10:02. > :10:03.go. Now, the armchair critics were out
:10:04. > :10:05.in force on social media over the weekend
:10:06. > :10:08.and obviously if it's a famous Dragon's Den star Deborah Meaden
:10:09. > :10:22.shared this. Much love and respect for Jason.
:10:23. > :10:27.Check this out. Googlebox favourites, the adoreable
:10:28. > :10:42.couple Leon and June shared I feel like I should curtsy for
:10:43. > :10:44.them. I feel like they should be knighted.
:10:45. > :10:46.It was indeed a spooky show with some people getting more
:10:47. > :11:04.And quite a few of you were shocked by the strange looking bride who was
:11:05. > :11:06.unveiled during the opening group dance on Saturday night.
:11:07. > :11:25.Craig Revel Horwood there in all his glory as the blushing bride.
:11:26. > :11:30.It's safe to say that this weekend's Halloween shows were a triumph
:11:31. > :11:33.of creepy creativity, and naturally we were right there
:11:34. > :11:49.# Darkness falls across the land. # And though you fight to stay
:11:50. > :12:06.alive. # Your body starts to shake.
:12:07. > :12:22.I have many phobias. I am scared of horses, polystyrene... Spiders. This
:12:23. > :12:31.person here. I am scared of dancing in front of millions of people. When
:12:32. > :12:42.I am standing next to Glenn and I see his muscles ripple, that scares
:12:43. > :12:50.me. It is Halloween week, and I am going to scare someone. Let's go. I
:12:51. > :13:01.am arachnid phobic. That's not very nice! It must be the most
:13:02. > :13:09.challenging of all the Strictlys for the make-up team. I am Christian. I
:13:10. > :13:12.did that for Charles II. Halloween is an opportunity for everyone to
:13:13. > :13:20.look out they would like to look every day. I am a beast. I look
:13:21. > :13:26.ridiculous but I am a ghost. I am a money but sort of Egyptian. Excuse
:13:27. > :13:36.me, I have something stuck to my neck... I look a little scary. This
:13:37. > :13:50.is the biggest show so far. That is my heart.
:13:51. > :14:00.I just wanted to give you a hug. We're about to go live to the nation
:14:01. > :14:10.for stroke we come dancing's Halloween special. -- Strictly Come
:14:11. > :14:11.Dancing. Did anyone else think that Pasha looked a bit like Simon
:14:12. > :14:13.Cowell? Now, while Karen Hardy is absent
:14:14. > :14:16.from ballroom duty, the ever radiant Natalie Lowe is here to share her
:14:17. > :14:27.expertise on the weekend's dances. Welcome to our little
:14:28. > :14:36.Choreography Corner. You were an amazing corpse bride at
:14:37. > :14:42.the weekend. You were an amazing corpse bride at
:14:43. > :14:57.show. I didn't recognise myself. Where you surprised by the results?
:14:58. > :15:03.I am surprised every week. Shock exit. I am sorry to see Kirsty go,
:15:04. > :15:11.she is amazing. Jamelia, I didn't expect to see in the bottom two. She
:15:12. > :15:16.is working hard, she gets there. She comes out firing each week. I don't
:15:17. > :15:19.want to see her in the bottom. True friendships do develop in the
:15:20. > :15:25.training room. You haven't been dancing with Ainsley for about a
:15:26. > :15:33.week, what impact did he have on your life? Ainsley, if you are
:15:34. > :15:37.watching, love you. He is amazing, inspiring and worldly. Has taught me
:15:38. > :15:38.about life experience and things like that, we became really good
:15:39. > :15:45.mates. I miss him. like that, we became really good
:15:46. > :15:53.and his energy. But we're going out on Thursday for a day trip. Which is
:15:54. > :15:58.good to hear. The judge's leader board is changing from week to week.
:15:59. > :16:05.Ex-different couples have been in the top in the last few weeks. Does
:16:06. > :16:12.it make it an open game? I cannot call it. Helen, Anita, Georgia,
:16:13. > :16:24.everyone. The two boys who were left, Peter Andre, Jeremy, I love.
:16:25. > :16:28.He is one of my favourites. He is watching you always. Let's talk
:16:29. > :16:37.about Helen and Aljaz. watching you always. Let's talk
:16:38. > :16:42.anyone look so good dressed as a mummy rushed to my creativity for
:16:43. > :16:45.this routine? I love this, I saw it in the dress
:16:46. > :16:51.this routine? I love this, I saw it shining, enjoying it, she was
:16:52. > :16:57.enjoying it. Bit of a mishap, and I think it might have thrown her
:16:58. > :17:05.confidence. It is one of the hardest things. Demonstration time. Here we
:17:06. > :17:09.go. With a samba role, you have to knees, but you have to go with
:17:10. > :17:15.straight legs and you bend forward with straight legs. Then forward and
:17:16. > :17:27.then a rotation. She has lovely straight legs. How is it at full
:17:28. > :17:37.speed. Done with a partner behind you. Kellie and Kevin and their paso
:17:38. > :17:42.doble a. Harry Potter. It is really ambitious this routine, so much fun.
:17:43. > :17:50.Great scores and they are doing brilliantly. Len said he thought the
:17:51. > :17:53.dancing on the table was a distraction, what do you think? I
:17:54. > :18:02.don't agree. The choreography and Kevin is doing a genius job. Kellie
:18:03. > :18:08.can do it, she can handle it. She is firing, attacking across the floor
:18:09. > :18:12.and she came out owning it. The table... Given anyone else, probably
:18:13. > :18:22.would have struggled. She coped with it regularly. She has brought her
:18:23. > :18:28.own skirt. Kellie, instead of grabbing it from here, it you need a
:18:29. > :18:35.bit of articulation through the hands. It wasn't as flamenco as it
:18:36. > :18:41.could have been, but when you do this, you get in here and it just
:18:42. > :18:48.give the skirt more movement. If you don't have the skirt that long...
:18:49. > :18:56.You could try with a tablecloth. Jamelia and Tristan and the jive.
:18:57. > :19:01.Ended up middle of the table. Then they criticised her footwork a bit.
:19:02. > :19:05.What can you tell us about her footwork and what should she be
:19:06. > :19:11.doing? It is a shame she is in the dance off. She gives it more in the
:19:12. > :19:15.dance off and that is what I want to see next week, I want her to come
:19:16. > :19:19.out and treat her first performance like it is the dance. Little bit
:19:20. > :19:24.flat-footed, but she needs to believe in herself, bit more
:19:25. > :19:28.confidence, straighten those legs a bit more in the jive and she will be
:19:29. > :19:32.flying. Georgia and Giovanni, giving us an awesome T. Top of the
:19:33. > :19:42.leaderboard. Why us an awesome T. Top of the
:19:43. > :19:47.impressive? She came out beaming, top of the leaderboard, she had no
:19:48. > :19:53.heel leads in the leg, her frame was gorgeous. In these pivots, we have
:19:54. > :20:02.slowed them down. You can see there is no distorting in the neck. Pivots
:20:03. > :20:08.are very difficult for the female. Some people come in, but she stayed
:20:09. > :20:15.out. She is coming out of her shell and she found her place on the
:20:16. > :20:21.floor. Jeremy and Karen and their salsa, which was epic. Everybody on
:20:22. > :20:27.their feet. The judges still gave him a bit of a hard time, is there
:20:28. > :20:31.anything else Jeremy needs to do? No, he just needs to be Jeremy, he
:20:32. > :20:36.is fantastic. The best thing about Jeremy is he commits to everything.
:20:37. > :20:43.The choreography, the steps, he gives it his all. I love it. His
:20:44. > :20:50.timing is impeccable. His timing is perfect, isn't it? Karen feels
:20:51. > :20:56.confident. Just smaller steps in the south to keep it more compact but, I
:20:57. > :21:09.love you, Jeremy. We will see more of Natalie Lowe in the coming weeks.
:21:10. > :21:13.It seems it is even spread across the pond, he is the Kansas City
:21:14. > :21:17.Chiefs cheerleaders giving it a go at Wembley over the weekend. We are
:21:18. > :21:46.excited to do the Strictly. Remember to keep sending
:21:47. > :21:49.in your entries of 'The Strictly' to be in with a chance to win those
:21:50. > :21:53.coveted Blackpool tickets. For more information head over
:21:54. > :21:56.to the Strictly website. Now, they may have danced as the
:21:57. > :22:00.undead on Saturday night, but they always bring the life and soul to
:22:01. > :22:27.our sofas, it's Jeremy and Karen! We are absolutely loving it. Even
:22:28. > :22:31.your dancing on the intro, how fantastic you were at the weekend.
:22:32. > :22:34.For a few moments on Saturday night you were top
:22:35. > :22:53.I remember calling for Claudia to stop the show. Also, there is a
:22:54. > :22:59.Karen that exists in the normal world and then there is Alcan knee
:23:00. > :23:11.Karen. She had Claudia in a headlock. I thought the show might
:23:12. > :23:23.be stopped at that point. Your reaction to the four from Craig.
:23:24. > :23:32.Scores are in. Craig Revel Horwood, four. Goodness me, how amazing was
:23:33. > :23:38.that moment for both of you? It was radiant, we know we are not
:23:39. > :23:43.improving fast enough to win, but there is a bit of forward motion and
:23:44. > :23:53.I think we can really build now. We have gone to a four. A four from
:23:54. > :23:58.Craig! Karen, your face. We are absolutely thrilled to get a four.
:23:59. > :24:03.She has lost her voice from shouting so much. It was the best moment
:24:04. > :24:10.because that is what we have been aiming for. Next week, hopefully a
:24:11. > :24:15.5? I am going to pass out. She will have to be carried away on a
:24:16. > :24:23.stretcher. Listening to curse the early on, less her, I love her. The
:24:24. > :24:27.camaraderie between us, we're not competing against each other, we are
:24:28. > :24:32.competing against ourselves. It is a battle against yourself as the
:24:33. > :24:41.celebrity dancer. You are trying to improve on what you did last week.
:24:42. > :24:46.22, your joint highest score. Darcey said your timing is improving and
:24:47. > :24:49.she called you nimble. Karen, you must be thrilled, how was training
:24:50. > :25:00.last week, you must be pleased with him? The whole Thriller section was
:25:01. > :25:07.great, he is improving. He is listening even more, constantly
:25:08. > :25:12.practising. I have never seen anybody practice so much as this
:25:13. > :25:16.young man over here. He practices in his sleep, in the bathtub, in the
:25:17. > :25:21.bathroom, everywhere I see him. Actually, I don't see him in the
:25:22. > :25:26.bathroom. I found a little spot in the lobby on the first floor in
:25:27. > :25:30.Elstree Studios where we broadcast from and I had headphones on and I
:25:31. > :25:37.was just going round and round. People were just walking past. Craig
:25:38. > :25:41.Walker passed and didn't even give me a second glance. It is the worry
:25:42. > :25:46.of going into the absence on the dance floor and not knowing the next
:25:47. > :25:51.move. Amazingly your body does work it out. Memory, muscle memory.
:25:52. > :25:57.move. Amazingly your body does work Despite the fund, you do take your
:25:58. > :26:03.dance training seriously. You posted a wonderful video online this week
:26:04. > :26:08.in answer to your critics. Until I am voted out I will always work at
:26:09. > :26:12.getting better, I will always try. I will always be back in the gym. I am
:26:13. > :26:16.going back to see Karen again now. will always be back in the gym. I am
:26:17. > :26:20.Eight or nine hours a day, I will always walk. The fact I'm not the
:26:21. > :26:25.best is not a always walk. The fact I'm not the
:26:26. > :26:33.That is true at live, just because you cannot win, doesn't mean you
:26:34. > :26:37.don't work. Such a good point. There was a slight troll person, it was a
:26:38. > :26:43.gentle reply to was a slight troll person, it was a
:26:44. > :26:50.who are eight and 11, I don't want them to think that I worked out I
:26:51. > :26:56.couldn't win so I stopped trying. I put it on Facebook and then
:26:57. > :26:56.couldn't win so I stopped trying. I later it had a
:26:57. > :26:58.couldn't win so I stopped trying. I there is a message to the
:26:59. > :27:16.non-winners. there is a message to the
:27:17. > :27:25.T? Do the head bit. Do it again. We are practising like crazy. It is the
:27:26. > :27:33.whole dance. Len mentioned Jeremy's awkward charm. For a Tango, what
:27:34. > :27:40.character does he have to take on? Give me the face. Something like
:27:41. > :27:49.that. It is a bit like that. Our Tango will be proud. It is unused
:27:50. > :27:59.space. Journalists do that face a lot. It will be OK. The Tango
:28:00. > :28:07.action? The frame and the heel leads! It is so good. We had two
:28:08. > :28:16.hours today and I was impressed. I said, Jeremy, have you dance before?
:28:17. > :28:21.Looking at this village spot from the balcony watching the show, some
:28:22. > :28:30.of my favourite dancers have been the Tango. Katie on the first week
