Episode 30 Strictly - It Takes Two

It's Friday and we've all the big names coming into our

And our Friday Panel: Alexander Armstrong,

I'm on the list. Alan Ball, Johnny Ball, your name isn't on the list.

Let's not kick off, where you go. This is outrageous! Not in those

trainers, and all right, love. Please welcome your host, Zoe Ball.

CHEERING Hello and welcome to

Friday's It Takes Two. We may be half way through

the series, Have a look at our VIP area,

it's crammed. I'll be speaking to that lot in a

bit so don't tire yourselves out. There's definitely

a party atmosphere here tonight, but how are things over at the

Strictly Studios in Elstree? Hi, it's Vanessa. I am back here for

the first time since 2013, I can't believe it. Peter Andre dancing in a

You will see Jeremy and Karen rehearsing.

Tomorrow night they're dancing the Tango to Go West

Stick with me, baby. I will be talking tango with Jeremy and Karen

tanning with Ali Ash and tailoring with the lovely Vicky Gill. Lovely

to have her back. Right, first up tonight they gave

their Harry Potter-themed paso everything they had on Saturday

night, Hogwarts and all. Welcome Kellie and Kevin. Princess

Leya, Hermione, you are having far too much fun. I am. Unbelievable,

how was your paso? I loved it, we had the best time. We had a blast. I

was pleased we managed to negotiate fireworks and a table and we had an

explosion. You couldn't have had any more in there. Was dancing on top of

the scary? It was narrow. The first time we rehearsed with the table was

the day before on Friday and they set it up in a tent, next door to

the studio. It was that table, but we have two benches that were quite

narrow on two legs either end. The first time we went through it, I

stepped off onto the bench and the bench went from under me and broke

and I landed on my bottom. Have we got it on video? No! Sadly it was

only Kevin and I in the win but I have never seen Kevin Clifton look

so worried in my life -- in the room. I was expecting tens for that

dance. LAUGHTER I don't mean to cry laughing but did

you hurt yourself? Luckily my bottom cushion the blow. There is nothing

on that bottom. So skilled, how was last week, perfecting the paso? I

will be we honest, I wish I had more time. To practice. I really felt, I

loved it, we had a great time but I feel like if I had a bit more time

to actually get to grips with the dance itself, I probably could have

done a better job. You need to stop sleeping! LAUGHTER

Honestly, she is not taking it seriously enough. Kevin, Star Wars,

Harry Potter. We are working our way through your favourite films, what

is your next fancy dress up? We are excited. I am lucky that Kellie goes

along with my crazy ideas. I have told him I will not be a wrestler.

She said no to that. Star Wars and Harry Potter. I have always dream of

dressing up as the fresh Prince. The Carlton dance. Can you work that

into musical week? 28 points, 7 from the judges, were you disappointed,

it is not a terrible score but after working, did you think he is? It is

a difficult one. For me, I felt disappointed, slightly disappointed,

for Kevin more than myself. I felt like because he is the paso king and

all of that. I thought, I have let you down. Did she let you down? That

is ridiculous, she was amazing. You were absolutely amazing. He is

loving dancing with you. CHEERING Let's talk about this, we absolutely

loved it, this week you are slowing it down, two very fast dancers, paso

and the jive. As it been quite nice it down, two very fast dancers, paso

to do a waltz and take down the pace, not that it is easy because it

is not? It is not easy, it is difficult. I have really enjoyed it

until last night. O no. Classic Take That. Hang on. What do we think, it

looks good. What happened last night? I struggle. I had a run of

training sessions where I felt like... Everything went wrong. You

know when you feel you have learned it and then it all goes out the

window and you have forgotten everything. I did not get in the

right position, my pivots was awful. I felt frustrated and really sad.

But that's good because it is out I felt frustrated and really sad.

the way. I'm all good, today. We are not -- we love a story with a happy

ending. Is it a tear-jerker, I am already on the edge? I hope so. I

hope people won't cry because it is bad. It is lovely. I don't want to

go down the really sad root of IR Megyn Kellie sad apparently. We

tried to put a Megyn Kellie sad apparently. We

than love, hate, we are breaking up. We are moving house. Love Ain't Here

Anymore. Just going down the road. We are still together. You obviously

thought about me. We noticed how you deal with Kellie's training room

frustrations very well, he showered her with smiles and happiness.

Enjoy. LAUGHTER I don't think I should be on the

television, any more. Gosh! Let me see that happy face. I want to get

it right. Don't give me that grumpy face. LAUGHTER

And again. LAUGHTER APPLAUSE

He is amazing I have to tell you, last night, when I really felt like

it was all going wrong, the song is Take That Love Ain't Here Anymore.

Kevin sang to me, Take That Love Ain't Here Anymore.

dance, Kellie is awesome at the How can you not smile when that is

happening? We cannot wait. Good luck tomorrow night, Kellie and Kevin.

APPLAUSE APPLAUSE

Sorry, Kellie. Norman, I hope you don't mind. LAUGHTER

Thank you. I'm getting quite hot. Now, so far our couples have

performed six routines, but there's no rest for

the wicked as Georgia and Jeremy are This week, Samba. Bouncy. Hips.

There are quite a few part I am struggling with because it is so

fast. That was really throwing me, the direction. It is about having

the energy on the night to keep it until the end. I am 24 and I feel

50. I have bruises on my arm, wounds. My legs are killing, but it

will be worth it, I am sure. This week we are dancing the tango.

God. Karen has got a really nasty, lost her voice, thing. She has given

me a film of my part. Does this look bizarre? I bet it is really funny.

It is quite hard to dance while holding a phone. There is a lot of

work that needs to go into the technical aspects of the tango. You

look a bit frail, you need to be rock solid. I am pushing for Jeremy

to keep that frame absolutely impeccable. Look up. There is a lot

of responsibility. If I started to sag here, there is nothing she can

do. Let's head back to the Strictly

studios to see what mischief Vanessa Here I am in make up work right a

lot of the magic of strictly happens. I am with Jeremy and Karen.

Hello, how are you? I am doing fine. I have watched you rehearse. I had

been sworn to secrecy. You are halfway through Strictly, did you

think this would happen? No, I didn't and it is down to my

teacher. Making small improvements and I am loving it so much, I am

loving learning. This dance that we are doing is a tango, hard to show

joy in a tango. I wonder what that facial expression was, maybe you can

edit files, what were you trying to convey with that face? Stern. You

don't want to brood in a couple of times. He has to be proud. Give me

proud. That's right. Proud. We saw you attempt at the tango face. It

was a bit... Slightly misfired last time. Could you show us how it has

improved. Last time I was trying to do a news face and this time it is

like that, is that working? Did me a smile with the tango face. We want

to bring that smile in. But then a stern face. LAUGHTER

It doesn't work if you laugh. We will do it together. I'm impressed.

That is completely different on a level from last time. Normally, we

are supposed to be serious journalists. If you are interviewing

yourself at this point in your journey because this is an epic

odyssey you are making, what would you ask yourself? You are wearing a

cowboy costume and I famously did a graphic some years back when I was

in a cowboy hat and I got panned for it in an election. I was thinking

this is awkward for me and Karen said to me I will give you something

to do, I guarantee you had never done it before, where a cowboy hat

on TV and I'm afraid I had. This is bringing back that graphic. It is

wonderful to see the set and the lights and everything working

together, in service of the dance. It is stuff I have never done

before. Has he got the true grit to make something magical out of the

tango? He is an absolute legend. Everything I choreographed he always

brings out the best of it. Every time it is a home run for me. With

Jeremy. When I did Strictly, you could feel fine until you are right

for the Jets rehearsal and see what the people rehearsing, have you seen

anyone else rehearse? Karen has advised me not to look too closely.

I saw Peter Andre rehearsing and I could tell it was going well and I

looked away. This dance doesn't have a lift and one of the things that I

find the scariest and you are probably the same, is when you get

lifted all you have to lift the person. We had a death drop last

time and I said to Karen, why is it called that and she said if you drop

me I am dead. No lift, this time. Reassurance in that. I had some

quickfire questions because a bonfire night, Jeremy, who is the

loudest celebrity this year? Iwan always talking in a lovely way. Who

is the most competitive couple? Oh! That's hard. They hide it well. Not

sure. Too diplomatic. If you could listen to just one album for the

rest of your life, would you Peter Andre The Platinum Collection

or Daniel O'Donnell The Inspiration choose Green you don't even mention

the wanted. Peter, because he is still in. That was so diplomatic.

Now, we're halfway through the series, and with some classic

routines already in the Strictly history books, it's time to preview

what is coming your way this weekend with my Friday Panel.

Please welcome, Alexander Armstrong, Lisa Faulkner and Rufus Hound.

Calmed down. The exciting thing this year, Alexander, and you looked

delightful. I am hosting a snooker tournament! Is that they are taking

turns at the top. Does it make it more exciting that there is no clear

favourite? Do you look at trends. Anita, having a fantastic time. It

is hard to call. It is. We have the Argentine tango. The first. Do you

Argentine tango? No? What a shame. I imagine you and Richard doing an

Argentine tango. He would rose. What has been your highlight? One of my

highlights was Helen being Marilyn Monroe. She was beautiful. She

danced to I want to be loved by you. She was beautiful. I sat there

and... She is one to watch. She is very good. At the top a lot. We have

a trained dancer among us. APPLAUSE. Cheryl Cole is now a thing

of legend. Brilliant. As a professional dancer, Rufus, who has

impressed you this series? The God's honest truth, we are at that

stage when we know the rubbish ones and we know the good ones and I have

not decided which of the good ones is my favourite but there are

rubbish ones I was fond of who bit the dust early. He went to soon? I

quite fancy to seeing more of Ainsley Harriott. I would like

somebody you can see the joy of dancing in their eyes. Coming

through in their performances. Technically it was all over the

place. Dancing is the vertical expression of horizontal desire and

you felt that with Ainsley Harriott. Kellie and Kevin, feast your eyes.

They are doing a waltz to Take That. Beautiful frame. Lovely. Waltz.

Katie had a brilliant week with hers. It can sometimes awaken the

Viennese in people. If anybody has seen my fear -- Viennese. With a

bite mark edit, I will have it later! It could be a good week for

them. I love Kellie and Kevin. Last week and they were amazing. Believe

my daughter was watching because it was all Harry Potter and she was

excited. -- Billy. What do you was all Harry Potter and she was

of Katie, this is her quickstep? 42nd Street. If you cannot excel

with Anton du Beke in a quickstep, get off the show. If you are doing a

Latin dance with Anton du Beke, you are not necessarily entirely

responsible for the outcome. But in the hands of Anton du Beke, a

quickstep... And you can tell it is all the things a quickstep should be

to be pleasing. That will be smashing. You have not got to worry

to be pleasing. That will be about that. Top

to be pleasing. That will be will go as far as saying probably

top two. Remember that, ladies and gentlemen. Jamelia and Tristan

having an interesting time. Viennese waltz. Will she stay out of the

bottom two? Do you think it will be a repeat performance? I feel for

Jamelia. She is doing well, she looks beautiful. Being in the bottom

two for two weeks must knock your confidence and I do not know how on

Monday you think, I must start again. I feel sorry for her because

she is doing well. People love a waltz. The viewers at home love a

waltz. Will you be voting? Yes! They say that now... What would it

do to your confidence, Alexander? I don't know what you do to get around

that because it is about boys, is it there, or there, I forget -- poise.

Helen and Aljaz. A rumba, this week, which can be a bit weird. They are

dancing to Adele and she is pretty amazing. I think it will be

special. Are you moved? I am moved. Helen dances so well. Look at this.

This I think is a Helen dances so well. Look at this.

The rumba, you can get good points for the rumba. Yes, it is hard to

remember a good rumba. That looks like a gold standard. They might be

looking at top marks. like a gold standard. They might be

the bottom of the leaderboard, but like a gold standard. They might be

why. Why is she so high up in the people'shearts? Because she goes for

it. I saw her earlier and said, do you feel sick on a Friday night,

thinking about Saturday? She said yes, but I love it. It is so nice to

see how everybody is excited by it and she goes for it. Go, Carol. If

you like the music the couples are dancing to, go to the website for

these Strictly playlist. The panel will be back later. And singing, as

well. Finally. The BBC received my letters. In green pen! When, oh when

well. Finally. The BBC received my Strictly It Takes Two? I pay my

licence fee! Now, our pros have been working

on something very special to mark I am at group dance training and we

are taking a trip into the 1940s. It is a jive, really fast, feet going

at 1 million mph. What you will see is flicks and kicks and to do that

you have to lift your thigh and flicked back foot. A lot of basic

step. Once it starts, it is full on. They really go for it in this

number. They are at home with this dance. They know this dance. I have

no idea what is happening. Kick and drunken sailor.

In this dance me and my friends have been flown in to entertain the

troops and I am actually going to sing. That is it for group dance

training. Make sure you tune in on Sunday I cannot wait for you to see

it. Thank you very much and well done to kneel the choreographer with

the red hair, he is the world professional American show dance

champion. APPLAUSE. Nice work.

Next up, Craig said their rumba was more like

Hello, my darlings. Welcome, welcome. Can I say top marks on your

outfits on Saturday, they were incredible. You were smiling

throughout the dance. How much fun was it? You've got a bit shy with

the rumba. It was brilliant doing the dance. The costumes were

awesome, as always, but particularly during Halloween. How heavy was that

how? Very heavy. The judges were less than kind. Two from Craig.

Naughty Craig. Carol, it does not matter what, you smile throughout.

Is there a little bit of you inside thinking, oh, no? Sometimes I wish

it was a 12 rather than a two. 12! That would be nice. It is good fun.

Learning to dance with Pasha, what a privilege. I love it. You can feel

it. All the ladies in the front row saying yes, also. The judges were

harsh on Carol, do you feel protective? Yes, she is doing so

well and improving so much and when somebody says otherwise, they had

better deal with me. I like the idea may be in the bar later it is Len

Goodman, could you step outside? If you make it to the bar! Len was

harsh on you, as well. Pasha, have you ever mention to

Carol you must not step forward on the heels during the time you have

been trading her this week? It is my fault. It is totally forbidden. You

cannot walk on your heels. It is ball flat. That was in the coffin,

the footwork, for me. You do teach about the footwork. I thought it was

gracious of you to say it was your fault. People have to realise that

as Carol said, when she came to Strictly she had two left feet. Now

she has left and right. A great improvement. Now we start learning

and using the fact there is a heel and toe. It is so good to see you.

This week we move onto the American smooth. Shania Twain. Shall we

hear... How much fun are you having this week? It is such good fun.

There are ups and downs. There is plenty of this. Show us, Carol. That

is your best move. Do it the whole routine. Could this be Carol's

dance? Absolutely, yes, it is a strong character. Carol gets into

it. No one can stop her. I am excited. Christmas is only 48 days

away. You have given a new meaning to the term Carol singing. Grab your

copy of Carol's hotly anticipated Warm Front. Groove on down to

Carol's tunes. SHE SINGS. Whatever the forecast, this will

brighten up your day. Carol Kirkwood's Warm Front.

Twerky with Kirkie! Can you sign this? Even though you are at the

bottom of the leaderboard, the public love you. That must fill your

heart with pride. Thank you so much to everyone voting for us. It is

brilliant. Anybody in the audience voting?

Yes! They say that now... Can you give us

a weather run down for the weekend. Tomorrow during the day, wet and

windy, but by the time the bonfires are unlit and fireworks displays, it

should be clear. Maybe a breeze in the North and Scotland, but beyond

that, it should be fine. But nobody will be going to these, they will be

watching Strictly. How are you feeling at the halfway point, are

you pleased with Carol's progress? The progress is amazing stop if it

is only halfway I cannot wait. Good luck tomorrow with your American

smooth. Gorgeous, as always, Carol and Pasha.

Now, let's see how preparations are going for tomorrow's show back

Vanessa, are you there, hallow my darling. There is one thing

everybody involved in struggling Mac is used to.

That smell of biscuits can only mean one thing, fake tan!

I'm here in the Strictly tanning room with our

Michaella, how does someone become a tanning expert?

I trained as a beauty therapist and then did some training in tanning

and here I am, four years on. It is almost a religious obligation, you

cannot not get one. Not really. We are here for body confidence. What

does that mean? They get a second skin so they look healthy and with a

globe. Do you have to persuade some celebrities, it is a bit shy, you

have to take off pretty much all your clothes. Yes, the pros do a

good job, they persuade the celebs it is OK and it makes them feel

safe. Rumour has it, some celebs and pros have one dip, some double-dip

and some go even further. In my year, Susanna Reid went for the

quadruple dip. It is about skin tones, we go with what they look

like naturally and enhance the natural colour. There are different

towns with different names including O'Reilly? Yes, Ecuador and result.

Light, medium and dark. Brazil is pretty dark to have a tan.

Absolutely. You get to see virtually everyone in the nude.

Unfortunately, I have the miserable job of seeing Aljaz show... Show us

what you will do. Brazil and I want to smell like cookies. Let me move

back while she does this a little bit. This view

back while she does this a little am enjoying it. It is cold. Are you

suffering or enjoying it? I tend to love it now. INTERFERENCE when Streb

is not on, I don't do it normally. -- when Strictly. You feel pampered

and lovely? Yeah. You look pampered and lovely. I can't wait to smell

like cookie. Give me your arm. He does!

It's freezing! What do you think? You look like burnished mahogany in

the best possible way. INAUDIBLE I love it. Even the camera was

melting down during that. At the sight of Aljaz half naked. I hate

you. Craig liked the story telling.

my next guests Maleficent-themed Darcey thought it was

incredibly enjoyable. It's like a wedding! Anita and Gleb,

Wellcome. It's like a wedding! Anita and Gleb,

astounding, your performance. Flying down in your wings. How difficult is

astounding, your performance. Flying it to dance with little horns on

your head? It is hard enough to learn the waltz and then the amazing

make-up and costume people stitched them into my hair. They are made out

of chicken wire, with fake hair. Georgia stitched them into my hair,

they were Georgia stitched them into my hair,

my head and there was one move I had to do that and the horns just took

my head and there was one move I had me around. Like a demented

fairground ride. You had to go on your tip toes to get your arms. The

homes kept the posture. Horns every week. Stapled onto the head. Len

aside, he gave you a good score even though he said he didn't understand

the story, the judges were entranced by the character and theme, that

must help in getting into a performance? Halloween is a real

moment in Strictly, everybody is excited weeks before it has even

started. I will always have that Maleficent moment, I will always be

Ryder on Strictly and coming down in those wings was brilliant -- the

Maleficent. The Prince with the hair extensions. At first I wasn't sure

and in the end, I said yes, I like that. Anything. 29, great scores but

six from Craig, what do you need to get more from Craig? What did he not

see, what did he want? I liked the fact that he liked the character and

that Anita stayed in the character, that was the most important thing

for Halloween. When Len said we did a beautiful waltz, she did a

beautiful waltz are combining those two opinions together makes a

perfect score. That's great. I have this weird, kind of, positive filter

in my year. I don't mind the critique. I am learning. It is a new

thing for me, I will never turn up and be perfect. You will. You will!

Positive. I remember Craig saying you are capable. I thought, yes, OK.

Take that! Len said your footwork was fabulous, that is the best

condiment apart from a tan from Len, which I think you will get. -- best

complements. The Lord God of ballroom said that my footwork was

great in the waltz. That will be on his card, Lord God, Len Goodman.

This week, Gleb onto the fast and the furious. Tell me how she is

doing in the jive. She is doing great. We need a bit more speed. And

her knees, lift them all and keep the bounce throughout the whole

routine. It is a character, we are playing a character. We are both

Strictly cleaners. Very glamorous. Cleaning service. I get it, washing

up. The Boy Does Nothing. It will be fun. How is the jive, it is

brilliant, but exhausting? You need to do it again and again. Just when

you thought you knew what payment, the jive comes along. Really? It is

really difficult -- pain meant. This will be Maestri Ki experience every

week. Gleb gets a lump of clay and turns it into something together and

we moulded into a performance on Saturday night. The jive is super

difficult, knees up. I love it. I love the energy and the music. Good

energy in training. Alesha Dixon. What is Gleb's training technique

question might yes sir. How honest should I be? Seriously honest. He is

Russian, he is strict. He is a strict teacher, but we work well

together, we have good energy. When we are in the training room, we both

train hard together, we have too. I don't have the option of resting,

their week... We have to. I reward you with water sometimes. She is

allowed to use the bathroom. And I can get coffee. I love rewards like

that. We will now see exactly how much you have retained your dance

knowledge, Anita with a little quiz. You have to sit over here next to

me, Gleb, just there. I arranged this is especially. How are you? It

is quite simple. It is gratuitous now.

You have to person some headphones on and she will do some dancing and

you will have headphones on with music and you have to guess what

dance that she is doing. That you have done. Do you remember them?

Let's see. S Club seven. Here is your first dance. The music is

coming. Charleston. He has taught her so

well. We got it. Waltz. I can never tire of that

move. Here's another one. Keep your headphones on. Cha-cha. So good.

Love this game. One more is that it? The last one.

Not bad at all. How impressed? My girl! I was taught by the best. I

give you a ten. Good luck tomorrow, you are amazing. Anita and Gleb!

CHEERING Now, time for Robin Windsor to

continue his jaunt through the Hi, history fans, I will show you

some of the best moments from strictly. We have already seen great

moments from the show with letters A-I. Let's get cracking with the J.

J is for the judges' entrances, and they know how to make an entrance.

They have stormed into the Strictly ballroom, strutting their stuff for

a few years now. Just showing us they still have the moves in their

lockers. K is for Casey Casey. There has been a lot of love shared

on the strictly dance for and a lot offered. Who can forget the cheeky

passions between Gavin Henson and Bruno? And then Ben Cohen and Craig.

Who also got to kiss Mark Wright. Of course, husband and wife, Kevin

and Karen. They are so loved up. Get a room!

L is for Len, he's the king of the one-liners. I haven't seen movement

like that since the film sea biscuit. It had more polished than

another ten front door. Shut up, close the door and call me Mary!

Here's what he looks like on the very first show. He hasn't aged a

day. You have the right attitude, bit of fun, marvellous.

M is the malfunction. Wardrobe malfunction. Do you ever when Alison

Hammond's dress covered Ali Ash's face in last year's special? She

could not stop laughing. LAUGHTER

Nor could I. N is for Natasha Kaplinsky. She was

our very first winner of Stricker, dancing.

The house. You are crying. There is no way I thought I was going to cry,

but I blew it so much. You are honestly amazing.

Mark, you got me totes emosh. I'm having a moment. Back to you, Zoe.

Don't set me off. Alexander Armstrong,

Lisa Faulkner and Rufus Hound. We must discuss the rest of the

couples, let's have a look at Anita and Gleb. They are doing rather

marvellously, they are doing a jive, Strictly cleaners they have

exclusively revealed, how is this looking? Alexander? That looks just

beautiful, look at Anita, fabulous, having fun. The jive you need the

technique. Once you have mastered that, which incidentally I think she

has, you can then really just throw your weight into it and have fun. A

deep intake of breath. The jive sued the small people. They always excel.

And she is diddy. She can get that speed. Flicks and tricks and kicks

and twirls. She is built for it. Speroni legs. Do you like Gleb?

and twirls. She is built for it. was told on the way in that these

women would rip me limb from limb if I said he was of the most handsome

man on earth. He is the most handsome man on earth. APPLAUSE

Let's talk about Jeremy Vine and Karen Clifton. Dancing at tango to

The Village People. It does not get more camp than this. Look at his

face. I love him! I love him. Are you feeling the love for Jeremy,

like the nation? I love Jeremy. He is a real trier. I can't believe

that he is doing it. is a real trier. I can't believe

you hear Jeremy Vine will be in Strictly and I want to listen to him

every day and I was like, my God, really because I could not imagine

him dancing and he is That is what you have to love. Every

time he dances, it is extraordinary. It is like Gujarat giving birth.

Part of you thinks It is like Gujarat giving birth.

away but the other half is fascinating, to see what those limbs

end up becoming -- giraffe. And now, Volare, Georgia and Giovanni.

Here is the pocket rocket. She is bouncy, up and down.

Here is the pocket rocket. She is rehearsal, let alone the bells and

Here is the pocket rocket. She is tend to go out,

Here is the pocket rocket. She is what dance you get and some

Here is the pocket rocket. She is are not your dance and

Here is the pocket rocket. She is that is her dance. They are smiling

all the way through. Do you like the samba? I know lots about the samba

all the way through. Do you like the and I fancy doing it. Only last week

I spotted Georgia and thought, and I fancy doing it. Only last week

she is a real contender. Suddenly, and I fancy doing it. Only last week

it is the time for people to pop out and I am looking forward to her

dance. She looks ace. Let's move on to Jay and Aliona. The first

Argentine tango. They hold back a to Jay and Aliona. The first

for Jay. We remember Simon and Kristina last year and there is, it

was excellent. Looking at this footage, has he got what it takes?

Look at the smoulder. It is very restrained. I am in furthering

something from this. I think a lot of footwork will be going on, I am

guessing. I think they are deliberately not unleashing

something. Do you know what I mean? That has been edited because

something very special is going to happen tomorrow. I do hope you are

right. We will be so disappointed! Those are the actual outfits they

will be wearing! Are you impressed with Jay? I probably should not say

this but to be honest, hairdressers up and down the country should be

grateful to Jay. You looked at him on week one and thought, you are

finished. He had the haircut and you thought, why are you so handsome?

Where have these beautiful arms come from? He has incredible poise, and

it comes from the core. The movement is driven by the heart. He is

exquisite to watch. With that hair, previously, all you were doing was

looking at the hair and going, no. I think he is getting more handsome

every week. I feel we are watching him become a man. I think I am

watching a woman who wants to watch him becoming a man. You do not even

know! Peter and Janette doing the Charleston to Basement Jaxx, Do Your

Thing. Lovely Peter Andre. You are a huge fan of beta, Lisa. I love

Peter. I think he is brilliant. He has only been top of the leaderboard

once. Week one. I think the judges know he is really very good and so

they are saving him. Last week I think Len said you have this street

dance thing. Not everything is a street dance. And suddenly you have

the popping a locking cupboard this is his dance. Chop, chop. You need

to give me a name. We have got to the stage when you cannot separate

the front runners. I hope it is not Jeremy, but... I hope it is not

going to be Jamelia. I hope for her she will not be at the bottom two.

You have to go with form. You have knocked on the door twice, the third

time, they are going to open it! Haven't they been wonderful? Find

out how our couples do tomorrow 6:30pm, with Tess and Claudio. Let's

hear it for Lisa, Alexander and Rufus.

Right, for the final time, let's head back to the Strictly studios

I am back in the Strictly bubble and do not want to leave. Earlier I

watched Jamelia and Tristan rehearsing.

How gorgeous. I am in wardrobe with Vicky Gill. How you? What is that

beautiful dress? We had sketches of this last night and so in the flesh.

Georgia was the first fitting and we were jumping for joy because it fit

perfectly and she liked it and the executives passed it. We are really

happy. This is for the samba. This is it in the flesh. They can see how

tiny it is, just like her. She is tiny. Gorgeous. What is this

peculiar looking thing? We have been busy. We ran out of time on Gleb and

we just had to buy a boiler suit and that hat to do! I do not believe

you, that never happens on Strictly. Their concept requires this kind of

look. I am not sure I am allowed to say. That is why we have a boiler

suit. I think the clue is The Boy Does Nothing, isn't that the clue?

There is something that says men's pants. May I? I have led a sheltered

life. Use those? They are huge! , I take those own? They are quite

remarkable. There are little ones. And socks. It has been great hanging

out. And Q for having me. Lovely to see you, also. Zoe Ball, I have had

a ball. Big kiss. Now, dance plays a major part

in many people's lives, In a special film for Remembrance

Day, our very own Natalie Lowe took a trip to meet a special couple who

have kept dancing through Remembrance Day marks a sacrifice

that service men and women all over the Commonwealth has made since the

First World War and subsequent conflicts. I am in Coventry, which

was one of the most heavily bombed cities in Britain and today I will

introduce you to a wonderful couple who have been married for 71 years,

Ron and Gladys, who have lived through it all. You were in Coventry

in the 1940s. How was that? It was horrible. Everywhere you went,

devastation. People gathered what they could and got a trolley,

bicycle, that is about all they had. What a state they were in. In the

years following the bombings, Ron volunteered for the RAF as a Eric

Garner for the coastal guard. Our mission was to keep German

submarines under the water, or shoot any on the top, if you could see

them. Tell me about your brothers, who were part of the war. One was in

the Army, the other in the Davie, another in the Marines -- in the

Navy. It was a sad time for his mother. Ron was away six months?

Yes. That was the hardest part. Wondering if he would come back. It

was during his time in the RAF that Ron met Gladys. Tell me how you met.

I was home on leave and went to the pub with my friend and I said look

at that blonde, fantastic! I got up and asked her to come out with me

and she came and that was it. It was love at first sight. We have been

together ever since. You like to dance? We do like dancing. The dance

halls in those days used to be full. I bet! Live bands. Do you like slow

dancing? The quickstep. We did it years ago. I cannot move as fast as

I used to. After 71 years, the couple are still dancing every week

at their tea dance, when they meet old friends, learn new moves and

reignite their lifelong passion for dance and each other.

What is the key to 71 years of marriage? Looking up to each other.

And going out dancing. Willing to accept your differences, that is the

most important. Gladys, what does Remembrance Day

mean? The end of the war, all the people we knew coming back all

right, that was the main thing. Ron and Gladys are an amazing couple and

an inspiration to us all. Through love and war.

A special thanks to Ron and Gladys for being part of that film

Now, to play us out with the wartime favourite,

A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square is Alexander Armstrong.

# When two lovers meet in Mayfair So the legends tell

# Songbirds sing And winter turns to spring

# Every winding street in Mayfair Falls beneath the spell

# I know such enchantment can be Cos it happened one evening to me

# That certain night The night we met

# There were angels dining at the Ritz

# And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

# That when you turned and smiled at me

# A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

# The moon that lingered over London town

# How could he know We two were so in love

# The whole darn world seemed upside down

# Homewood step was just a slight. # And like an echo far-away # A

nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

# I know because I was there. # That night in Berkeley Square.
