On tonight's show, we've got the gorgeous Georgia and Giovanni.

:00:00.:00:00.

We've also got Strictly's newest cleaning team.

:00:00.:00:12.

Gleb, did you get to keep those blue overalls?

:00:13.:00:18.

Well, I wanted to, but they disappeared from

:00:19.:00:20.

Live from London, this is Strictly - It Takes Two. Please welcome Zoe

:00:21.:01:21.

Ball! I don't know about you,

:01:22.:01:25.

but there's nothing I love more than starting the show with a bit

:01:26.:01:33.

of viewer interaction. So, what we'd like to know, for none

:01:34.:01:35.

other reason than it's a bit of fun is, who has been your favourite ever

:01:36.:01:43.

male celebrity winner of Strictly? There's only been six of them,

:01:44.:01:45.

so who's your number one? Let us know what you think

:01:46.:01:48.

by heading online to: The vote closes at 6.45 tonight,

:01:49.:02:10.

so you've only got 15 minutes. We'll reveal the results

:02:11.:02:17.

at the end of the show. Our couples can almost smell that

:02:18.:02:21.

Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. The only thing standing in their way

:02:22.:02:25.

is the show this weekend, darn it. So, let's see how

:02:26.:02:29.

their routines are shaping up. The foxtrot is pretty technical. I

:02:30.:02:42.

want to nail the technique. Forward. Side. That is it.

:02:43.:02:47.

I also want to make sure I am bringing out the emotion I am trying

:02:48.:02:50.

to get from the song. Amazing.

:02:51.:02:55.

Aliona has been nothing but encouraging.

:02:56.:02:59.

A lot of things are ticking for the first time after weeks.

:03:00.:03:06.

The theme of this amber is 19th hip-hop.

:03:07.:03:09.

Last week we were in the dance off. Next week is that Paul.

:03:10.:03:14.

This is our most important week yet. Kevin Clifton thinks about the music

:03:15.:03:20.

and concept really carefully. This is another routine which will

:03:21.:03:22.

kill me. We are really going for it. We are

:03:23.:03:29.

switching gears, go harder. So excited.

:03:30.:03:31.

Somebody stop me! Come on!

:03:32.:03:39.

I like his hair, it has been in a wind tunnel!

:03:40.:03:40.

Whilst our couples are locked away in rehearsals, it looks like one

:03:41.:03:42.

of our Strictly judges has been moonlighting elsewhere.

:03:43.:03:45.

Come here, boy. His name is Craig. Who calls a Kat Craig?

:03:46.:03:54.

I love my Strictly. Craig. You have to say Craig Revel

:03:55.:04:01.

Horwood! There is no way that is happening.

:04:02.:04:06.

Please? Craig Revel Horwood!

:04:07.:04:10.

Brilliant. Right, hope you're ready

:04:11.:04:13.

for my first couple. The last time they were here,

:04:14.:04:17.

my O level Italian let me down. E la samba piu veloce

:04:18.:04:20.

che ho mai visto. I love your Italian accent. If you

:04:21.:04:57.

make it to the final at Christmas, I may have perfected it.

:04:58.:05:02.

Well done. Let us remind ourselves how

:05:03.:05:03.

brilliant you work on the floor. Could that samba have

:05:04.:05:05.

been any faster? It was really hard. I enjoyed it and

:05:06.:05:16.

you learn it more easily. It was a nice week. And that dress.

:05:17.:05:25.

I loved it. We need to talk about this.

:05:26.:05:32.

Can you explain that outfit? It is so cute. What were you dressed as?

:05:33.:05:38.

Actually, I don't have any idea. You don't remember.

:05:39.:05:43.

I can't. I need to call my mum and ask.

:05:44.:05:49.

An Italian telly tubby! You looked very cute.

:05:50.:05:51.

I don't think I've seen a male pro's hips move so fast.

:05:52.:05:54.

How difficult was that routine for a learner like Georgia?

:05:55.:06:06.

That routine was really, really hard, to be honest. We started with

:06:07.:06:14.

zigzag, and a lot of difficult stuff.

:06:15.:06:19.

The finish was really good. Really good. Every week she is

:06:20.:06:23.

getting better. Yes!

:06:24.:06:27.

That is what we want to hear. The judges loved it, and even Craig

:06:28.:06:29.

said it was incredible. However, he is the only judge

:06:30.:06:32.

not to give you a 9 yet. How are you going to get a 9 out

:06:33.:06:35.

of him? The vote was amazing. And I still

:06:36.:06:47.

made a mistake. I was over the moon. What will it take to get a higher

:06:48.:06:56.

mark from Craig? From Craig? I was thinking to take off my top!

:06:57.:07:03.

But I realised we are doing the charleston so I can't. You have to

:07:04.:07:07.

be fully digest for a charleston. Good to know.

:07:08.:07:09.

For the past two weeks, you've either been top or second

:07:10.:07:11.

You must see yourself as a contender now?

:07:12.:07:16.

Yes, I feel like an actual dancer, it is amazing. I don't know how this

:07:17.:07:23.

has happened. I was feeling sick to six weeks.

:07:24.:07:29.

I love the way he underplays it. Yeah, you are doing all right.

:07:30.:07:37.

Solid. Giovanni is confident how far you can make it.

:07:38.:07:42.

It says, Nato per sincere, which means, born to win.

:07:43.:07:52.

I like that faith. Are you going to get a matching tattoo?

:07:53.:08:02.

We had a T-shirt with, born to win, on the back.

:08:03.:08:03.

This week, you've got the Charleston and you're dancing to this.

:08:04.:08:08.

You've been looking forward to this one.

:08:09.:08:18.

I don't know, I have always been obsessed by it. It is good fun.

:08:19.:08:28.

Chicago is my favourite musical, so the song is amazing to dance to.

:08:29.:08:34.

Here you are in training, look at that swivel, ladies and gentlemen,

:08:35.:08:39.

looking good. Last week, at the weekend, Peter and

:08:40.:08:45.

Janette got the highest score. How much pressure are you

:08:46.:08:47.

feeling to top them? They did a great job but we need to

:08:48.:08:57.

do better. We have been trying. My legs are broken.

:08:58.:09:01.

From doing the charleston. Aches and pains.

:09:02.:09:08.

We have an amazing list. They wouldn't even let us watch. In

:09:09.:09:14.

case we gave anything away. I have a big mouth.

:09:15.:09:14.

If you get through this weekend, then you'll be dancing at the

:09:15.:09:17.

What would it mean to you to dance there?

:09:18.:09:24.

That is the most amazing thing ever, as a northerner, that Paul is

:09:25.:09:32.

amazing. To be able to dance in an iconic place would be a dream come

:09:33.:09:35.

true. Have you been to the Tower Ballroom?

:09:36.:09:40.

Yes, as a kid, I went to Blackpool a lot.

:09:41.:09:46.

And last time I went, was to Blackpool rocks.

:09:47.:09:52.

A lot of dancing, still. We have this lovely little picture.

:09:53.:09:54.

Now, our backstage beavers have been busy this week.

:09:55.:09:56.

They stumbled upon this little beauty which proves, Georgia,

:09:57.:09:58.

That lasted about a week because I was a bit too naughty for ballet.

:09:59.:10:07.

I hear it wasn't long before you ditched the dancing

:10:08.:10:10.

I didn't even get my white belt because I was so bad. I was in my

:10:11.:10:23.

Aladdin pyjama top. Would you like to change how they

:10:24.:10:30.

remember you? Psych yourself up, don't damage your

:10:31.:10:34.

hands. Brush on, brush off.

:10:35.:10:37.

We should probably do the old wax on, wax off from

:10:38.:10:39.

Sounding good, that was quite impressive. I am really scared.

:10:40.:10:53.

Now, Giovanni is definitely in my top three favourite new pros

:10:54.:11:03.

Diplomatic! I love you too.

:11:04.:11:13.

But these pros aren't just dancing machines, as we found out when Pasha

:11:14.:11:16.

Hey, neighbour. How are you? Good to see you.

:11:17.:11:33.

I did not grow up in England. What was it like in Siberia?

:11:34.:11:42.

Much colder. Here, a lot of rain. There, a lot of snow. Snowing

:11:43.:11:47.

everywhere, beautiful and white, -20.

:11:48.:11:51.

Do you still have family there? My mum and brother. I am from

:11:52.:11:55.

Wicklow, south of Dublin. Seaside resort. Yes.

:11:56.:12:02.

But there is not too much sun, not too many people dance. I don't know

:12:03.:12:09.

what it is like in Siberia. Who did dancing? My grandparents,

:12:10.:12:14.

social dancers, starting late in their life, competing. They got my

:12:15.:12:18.

sister and me into it and it developed. How did you get into

:12:19.:12:21.

dancing? My mum took me to a dancing cop

:12:22.:12:26.

edition. Was she a dancer? I am the only one.

:12:27.:12:32.

In Siberia? Not in Siberia. When I was eight, I did dancing, martial

:12:33.:12:38.

arts, swimming, music stuff. One by one, everything fell off and

:12:39.:12:42.

disappeared and I ended up in a sparkly shirt.

:12:43.:12:50.

Impressive. 18, I moved to Moscow, 20 mood to

:12:51.:12:54.

New York. To dance. Everything was different,

:12:55.:13:00.

everything. For example, food. For dessert, they said, cheesecake.

:13:01.:13:05.

I like cheese but not that much that I have to eat the whole cake. You

:13:06.:13:09.

know. I had never seen or heard of things

:13:10.:13:14.

like that growing up in Russia. My experience of dancing I suppose

:13:15.:13:18.

is quite different to yours, I never thought about it before.

:13:19.:13:23.

I left dancing for a couple of years and tried everything. I worked in a

:13:24.:13:27.

bag. Yes. Landscape gardening. Worked on

:13:28.:13:33.

building sites, as an electrician. A bunch of stuff. I started getting

:13:34.:13:38.

into dancing a bit more. I was older and started

:13:39.:13:43.

understanding it more. There is something I need to ask you

:13:44.:13:48.

about. Any time you are not talking to me or dancing, I see you playing

:13:49.:13:54.

computer games. White, what is it? When I was a little kid, the first

:13:55.:13:59.

time I saw computers, it was so amazing. I was writing programmes

:14:00.:14:03.

for computers when I was 12. I don't remember what I was doing at

:14:04.:14:10.

12. I was properly figuring how to put my child is not back to front

:14:11.:14:16.

anymore! Last question. All the guys on

:14:17.:14:22.

Strictly quite close, we chat and support each other. If you had to be

:14:23.:14:27.

on a deserted island, who would you take?

:14:28.:14:29.

Everyone is cool. And support each other. If you had to be on a

:14:30.:14:32.

deserted island, who would you take? Everyone is cool.

:14:33.:14:38.

You are strong, you could take the coconuts from the tree.

:14:39.:14:49.

I would definitely take Tristan fifs on a deserted eye tanned. And -- I

:14:50.:14:59.

would definitely take Tristan if I was on a deserted island. And my

:15:00.:15:01.

husband, and Ian Waite. And there'll be more pro

:15:02.:15:04.

tete-a-tetes to come Now, speaking of ex-computer

:15:05.:15:06.

programmers turned electricians All that cleaning I have been doing.

:15:07.:15:23.

So shiny. Gleb wants his outfit back. He looked much better than me

:15:24.:15:39.

in it. I can tell you. This weekend, if they get through, the couples go

:15:40.:15:45.

to Blackpool. Do you know why? Why? Because of the wrap party

:15:46.:15:48.

afterwards. I can understand. My dad was the last one to leave. Let's get

:15:49.:15:53.

on with our couples. In training, Jeremy and Karen, who knows how they

:15:54.:15:57.

are going to get over that horse business. This week it is a

:15:58.:16:01.

quickstep for them. What do we think? Yes, well, he is quite light

:16:02.:16:07.

on his feet. Do you think? Is it a good thing? It is a good thing in

:16:08.:16:12.

quickstep. There are places where he is doing kind of this pick-up where

:16:13.:16:16.

he picks his leg up and sticking his legs out, which is wrong. On a

:16:17.:16:21.

Charleston sort of step like that, which he just z it is OK. But I will

:16:22.:16:32.

say - if I just get this out... AUDIENCE: OHHHH As you can see his

:16:33.:16:38.

elbow is higher than his shoulder and his hand. Not good? No. He needs

:16:39.:16:44.

to drop it. I will demonstrate it with you. I'm here. He is like that

:16:45.:16:50.

at the moment, amount. He gets to that stage and his elbows are behind

:16:51.:16:54.

his back. He needs to take them in front and drop them down a bit. So

:16:55.:17:01.

more of a... Perfection. More of a rounded shape. Not too round but

:17:02.:17:05.

there, rather than there. Other than that, looking fine. Jamelia and

:17:06.:17:11.

Tristan. A break from the bottom two. This week, it is a samba for

:17:12.:17:15.

them. How are they looking? Not great at the moment. Lots of

:17:16.:17:20.

promenade runs. Really? Not this particular step She needs to pick

:17:21.:17:27.

her body up here, underneath. If I just do this, the tall. It is the

:17:28.:17:33.

whole thing, she needs to pick up her body underneath, bend into the

:17:34.:17:37.

knee and stretch the back foot so she has all her weight forward. She

:17:38.:17:41.

can only do that if she brings her chest forward and takes her arms

:17:42.:17:45.

forward. She tends to let the arms flop back. I mean it is looking a

:17:46.:17:50.

little bit. As she does it quickly and goes around how does it look?

:17:51.:17:55.

Like that. And how should it look? Like that. And a binge, and a bang.

:17:56.:18:01.

Like Georgia did it last week. She needs to be in control. You have the

:18:02.:18:07.

ladies in the audience giggling. Katy and Anton do a romantic rumba.

:18:08.:18:13.

Notoriously this dance can be difficult. These two are looking

:18:14.:18:18.

good. She has nice legs and feet. That helps for a rum BA they look

:18:19.:18:23.

gorgeous. What she needs to do, she needs to settle her weight into the

:18:24.:18:27.

hip. What do you mean? That's the problem. Sometimes when you have

:18:28.:18:31.

done a lot of ballet, to keeps you up and out of the floor. What we

:18:32.:18:36.

need to do, as she passes the foot through, she needs to release. Like

:18:37.:18:43.

you do in the supermarket queue? Yeah, settle into the hips Here they

:18:44.:18:50.

do an opening out. # the hand is like - urgh. How should it be? Show

:18:51.:18:58.

her. Finishing off the lines. Open out. Palm down to the floor and then

:18:59.:19:04.

the other way. Like that. Palm down to the floor. In the hips.

:19:05.:19:09.

Let's move on to Georgia and Giovanni. They are so excited about

:19:10.:19:14.

their Charleston. I think this is going to be truly epic. I think it

:19:15.:19:19.

is really going to suit them. They are light, they are fun. All the

:19:20.:19:25.

things that Charleston are. It'll suit their cheeky sort of character.

:19:26.:19:30.

Lovely swivels there from Georgia and a great, great lovely step. I

:19:31.:19:35.

think that's called a winding up the aeroplane or something like that.

:19:36.:19:40.

They go slightly out of sync at the end but I do think it is going to be

:19:41.:19:45.

a really good dance for them. They have lots of energy. They are at

:19:46.:19:49.

that stage in the competition, it'll definitely get them through to

:19:50.:19:52.

Blackpool. So exciting. We will see Ian Waite next week for a Blackpool

:19:53.:19:54.

ex-graph began zoo. Thank you. I know what you're thinking,

:19:55.:20:02.

we haven't had an update on The Strictly dance for a matter of

:20:03.:20:05.

days! Don't worry, the competition may

:20:06.:20:07.

have closed but, whilst the judges choose their winners,

:20:08.:20:09.

there's no reason why we can't Show us how it is done. I'm waiting

:20:10.:20:18.

for the music. Is there any music? Here it comes.

:20:19.:20:22.

Go. STRICTLY THEME TUNE PLAYS

:20:23.:21:04.

APPLAUSE Well done to them. The nurses, the

:21:05.:21:10.

lovely people in orange. Those ladies in the hats and that little

:21:11.:21:13.

old lady walking across. Remember the competition is closed. We'll be

:21:14.:21:18.

revealing the winners of those Strictly Blackpool tickets here on

:21:19.:21:21.

Monday. Don't miss it, it could be you.

:21:22.:21:28.

OK, it's nearly Friday which means two things.

:21:29.:21:29.

And, secondly, it's Children In Need which means this fella might make

:21:30.:21:34.

Hey Pudsey. We are going Pudsey for Pudsey at

:21:35.:21:44.

the Children In Need Call The Midwife special. And we are

:21:45.:21:50.

backstage with the East Ender's cast as they rehearse for the evening and

:21:51.:21:59.

ill Divo will be here to sing us a song from their new album.

:22:00.:22:01.

They cleaned up on the dance floor on Saturday night.

:22:02.:22:05.

I tell you what, that ballroom has been calling for

:22:06.:22:07.

Well done, I have never seen cleaners so glamorous in my whole

:22:08.:22:29.

life. Blimey that was good Anita. So good. Brilliant performance. Will

:22:30.:22:37.

you ever look at mop in the same way again? No, talk about Wonder Woman.

:22:38.:22:43.

. I did think Wonder Woman. I thought you were going to fly On

:22:44.:22:49.

Saturday night, when I got home, the first thing I z I got my mop, it was

:22:50.:22:54.

there, I had been practising, and put it in the cupboard. It was great

:22:55.:22:58.

fun. The speed of the dance was something else. The kicks and

:22:59.:23:02.

flicks. Your stamina is incredible. I know how many times you have to do

:23:03.:23:07.

that, to practise. You must be the fittest you have ever been. Yes. .

:23:08.:23:14.

Some abes going on. I have abes. Have you counted. We have a

:23:15.:23:19.

competition every morning when we look at each other's abes. I just

:23:20.:23:25.

look at his. It is a hard job. A nightmare. And well done, your

:23:26.:23:32.

scores, finally 9s. So deserved. Was it worth the wait? We are working so

:23:33.:23:36.

hardful every week, Monday morning we start and whatever I perform on

:23:37.:23:41.

Saturday. It is graft, you know. I often say - these are my feet on a

:23:42.:23:48.

Monday and Gleb has to prise out every toe until we are dancing on a

:23:49.:23:55.

Saturday. Not like that. Look even now he is instructing are you. We

:23:56.:23:59.

must talk about one specific move that we now call the Flying Gleb.

:24:00.:24:01.

Let's remind ourself. Firstly, where did the move come

:24:02.:24:17.

from? I don't know. You know what t just happened on Monday. I came in

:24:18.:24:23.

avens like - Anita I have something special for you this week. That's

:24:24.:24:26.

something you could call it! . I said, you know what, stand there,

:24:27.:24:31.

I'm going to jump at you. She goes - how are you going to jump? And I was

:24:32.:24:37.

like - I'm going to jump right here. She was asking what would she do. I

:24:38.:24:42.

said - just catch me. It looks terrifying. Did you not lose

:24:43.:24:51.

anything teeth? Get a faceful of... Was it not quite scary? I don't

:24:52.:24:57.

know. You just have to go for T I can't explain how it happens. It is

:24:58.:25:00.

terrifying watching it. When you do it, you have to have faith. I just

:25:01.:25:06.

trust him. You want to do it now. In the heels could you do it now? Um...

:25:07.:25:14.

Do you want to try it? Oh my goodness me This is live TV. I'm in

:25:15.:25:18.

epic heels. Are you ready? Incredible. It is fantastic.

:25:19.:25:35.

Incredible. The Flying Gleb is one of many memorable move that is Gleb

:25:36.:25:40.

has rated. I thought I was actually going to have a heart attack there.

:25:41.:25:44.

That was incredible. Welcome to the countdown of Gleb's

:25:45.:25:49.

famous moves. At six, it is the Boiler suit bounce.

:25:50.:25:56.

At five, the one-handed heart wheel. At four - is that the karate kid? No

:25:57.:26:06.

it is Gleb with the kick. At three, the floor has never looked so fast.

:26:07.:26:13.

The floor sweep. At two, gravity, it is easy does T at number one and a
