:00:00. > :00:00.For weeks you've been sending your routines of the Strictly
:00:07. > :00:09.dance, hoping to win a pair of tickets to this weekend's
:00:10. > :00:11.We'll be announcing the winners tonight.
:00:12. > :00:24.I know you're gutted not to be going to Blackpool,
:00:25. > :00:27.but you can't enter the competition, it just isn't allowed.
:00:28. > :01:28.Live from London, this is Strictly: It Takes Two, with Zoe Ball!
:01:29. > :01:32.It's Monday, we are live, and here at It Takes Two we're starting
:01:33. > :01:38.the week as we mean to go on, having a good old Strictly gossip!
:01:39. > :01:41.And my, oh my, have we got a lot to talk about!
:01:42. > :01:44.Jeremy and Karen are here as we say so long, farewell,
:01:45. > :02:01.I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
:02:02. > :02:05.Anyway, also tonight, we go from the bottom
:02:06. > :02:10.Plus, Peter and Janette reveal what we can
:02:11. > :02:15.Now, they went underground for a spot of
:02:16. > :02:18.mining on Saturday night, but sadly they didn't strike gold and were
:02:19. > :02:52.Before we say goodbye to Jeremy and Karen, here's their last dance.
:02:53. > :03:07.So sad to see you go, and during your last dance everyone
:03:08. > :03:18.Today is the first Monday morning in a long time that I have not thought,
:03:19. > :03:24.call Karen and see what we are doing. It is a common experience
:03:25. > :03:30.when you exit and you miss your partner the most. But I have my day
:03:31. > :03:32.job, there is lots of news around at the moment, so I was back on that,
:03:33. > :03:34.back to the real world. You went all out with the quickstep,
:03:35. > :03:50.and as always, Beverley said, please tell Jeremy
:03:51. > :03:51.how good his footwork was, he was not praised enough.
:03:52. > :03:57.Is there any more you could have done to stay in the competition?
:03:58. > :04:03.We had not been in a dance off before, an extraordinary act of
:04:04. > :04:10.levitation, I was not ready. There is a delay between the dance and the
:04:11. > :04:15.dance off, so when I realised it was happening, I do not remember the
:04:16. > :04:21.dance at all! I did not know if we started on the right or left, but it
:04:22. > :04:27.came back. I had this temptation to just do it in a completely wild way,
:04:28. > :04:33.because I thought we were sunk. You think I did that anyway! With
:04:34. > :04:37.respect to my partner, I thought, I want to dance it right and to have
:04:38. > :04:42.her say, we have had eight weeks and I did not miss a step, so I wanted
:04:43. > :04:45.her to know I had taken my time. This was your first time
:04:46. > :04:59.in the dance off with Jeremy. Did you feel there was a chance, or
:05:00. > :05:02.that that was it? Especially now, the competition is so fierce, it
:05:03. > :05:08.could have been anyone. But that was as! When the red light went on, we
:05:09. > :05:15.looked at each other and we were like, I don't want to do this! But
:05:16. > :05:25.we have been having the best time. The last dance meant the world to
:05:26. > :05:29.me. He did me so proud. So many people were upset, the Kaler said
:05:30. > :05:37.she cried, lots of people theory is they will not see you doing Peter
:05:38. > :05:48.Andre! I are not serious about that! How much have the public meant
:05:49. > :05:52.to you? I so much appreciate what they did, keeping us in, because it
:05:53. > :05:59.was the anti-gravity force. The messages we have had, I wanted to
:06:00. > :06:04.take it seriously and to work at it, so if they think ie improved, we
:06:05. > :06:13.went up one point in eight weeks,... But it is the right
:06:14. > :06:20.direction. Exactly! You have got to be positive! My wife said, will you
:06:21. > :06:26.be able to do a bolts at a wedding? I said, I will be able to do a T! I
:06:27. > :06:32.will have a fibreglass horse! They will clear the floor! The bride and
:06:33. > :06:36.groom will say, it is our wedding! Rachel has got so much in store, you
:06:37. > :06:44.will never forget that, it is wonderful. I have always been afraid
:06:45. > :06:50.of the waltz, the box step, I will not forget it. I did a hail lead as
:06:51. > :07:01.we came out of the left. Nobody was looking. I thought, Len would be
:07:02. > :07:03.proud! It will never leave you. People disappointed they would not
:07:04. > :07:09.see the guitar dams and the fireworks. Diane said, could you do
:07:10. > :07:14.it at Children in Need next year? Have a think about it. You have been
:07:15. > :07:17.such an amazing partnership, so much love for you, we are going to miss
:07:18. > :07:33.you. Have a look at your story. Your partner is Karen. You will be
:07:34. > :07:40.dancing the cha-cha. Wiggle, wiggle. Strangely fabulous. One, two, three.
:07:41. > :07:51.You would not get that from John Snow! In the bucket. The sound of a
:07:52. > :07:58.mistake. That is what I call making a dance your own. Get in! It is time
:07:59. > :08:04.for Jeremy the journalist to stay at home and Jeremy did answer to strut
:08:05. > :08:12.his stuff. A bit of Hollywood and a touch of Borehamwood, genius. It was
:08:13. > :08:24.like watching a stork that had been struck by lightning. This stork is
:08:25. > :08:29.about to deliver! I thought it was charming, I have never seen somebody
:08:30. > :08:34.smile all the way through. Next, the salsa, I am trying to find out what
:08:35. > :08:41.it is. Six, seven, give it to the girls.
:08:42. > :09:01.It is dead and buried. T. I am back, because I want to dance with you! It
:09:02. > :09:07.is like playing for lottery, we never know where the Lynn will land.
:09:08. > :09:17.But I enjoyed your bottom going chunk, chunk. We are dancing a quick
:09:18. > :09:21.step. I don't know who will not make it to Blackpool, but if you are not
:09:22. > :09:28.there, there will be a lot of fun and a lot of entertainment missing.
:09:29. > :09:35.The couple I would like to save, Jim Neilly and Tristan. Jim Neilly and
:09:36. > :09:42.Tristan. Your dedication, passion and love for what we love to do has
:09:43. > :09:43.been absolutely amazing. Karen is the best dancer, teacher, friend,
:09:44. > :09:57.thank you. I almost can't handle it! The
:09:58. > :09:59.tissues are there! You have moved all of us.
:10:00. > :10:02.And, so you can keep the memories forever, here's your
:10:03. > :10:04.very own Strictly Story, called Jeremy Vine, He's Strictly Vine.
:10:05. > :10:07.Looking through that book, what are you going to miss most?
:10:08. > :10:18.There are so many, every time I see Karen, I go, I am back because I
:10:19. > :10:22.want to dance with you! The whole it weeks, there was a bit where we
:10:23. > :10:28.split and went round the side, and we could not get it right, in the
:10:29. > :10:34.end, OK, you can do whatever you want for two beats. I went crazy.
:10:35. > :10:40.She said, I will run past the judges and distract them. I am doing some
:10:41. > :10:48.kind of craziness and she goes, hello! It worked! I had forgotten a
:10:49. > :10:56.lot of that, it is amazing to see it. It is all you. It is you! You
:10:57. > :11:05.are so amazing. I will miss everything. It has been absolutely
:11:06. > :11:14.amazing. Our copies, chats, we talked about stillness in movement.
:11:15. > :11:17.Who does that? Just the magic that you brought onto the dance floor and
:11:18. > :11:24.the happiness that you brought to me. Which we have all felt. I did
:11:25. > :11:29.think of my kids, because they told me to take part, they are eight and
:11:30. > :11:34.11, I said no a few times, they found out I had said no, and they
:11:35. > :11:39.said, you have got to do it. I was worried they would be disappointed,
:11:40. > :11:46.I saw this card from my daughter, thank you, dad, I am so proud of
:11:47. > :11:50.you. You were great! They love Karen, and I thought, yes, it has
:11:51. > :11:55.been fantastic, so thank you, everybody. You have been an amazing
:11:56. > :12:05.partnership, we will not forget you. Jeremy and Karen! Goodness me!
:12:06. > :12:06.Now, every week our celebrities perform
:12:07. > :12:09.standout routines, and to get this far takes a lot of hard work.
:12:10. > :12:23.But behind every great celebrity, there's a great pro dancer.
:12:24. > :12:27.Week on week it has been about the contestants, this week it is about
:12:28. > :12:38.the professionals. We would be nothing without them. We take care
:12:39. > :12:40.of everything, we make sure the choreography is done, we need to
:12:41. > :12:44.teach the celebrities how to dance, and mass get when it goes wrong and
:12:45. > :12:58.make it look like there was no mistake. Follow me. Hi, mate. Get in
:12:59. > :13:02.in the morning, we go through the costumes of four or five times,
:13:03. > :13:09.change back into rehearsal gear, rehearsed twice with the band, with
:13:10. > :13:19.our partners. Change out of that, go back into the fitting, go into care,
:13:20. > :13:26.get the hair done. The best thing about my professional would be her
:13:27. > :13:34.great patience in her teaching. I cannot talk about Kevin! I need to
:13:35. > :13:41.talk about you, not to you! My pro dancer is my world, absolutely, he
:13:42. > :13:49.is amazing. You rely on your pro, because otherwise you would not do
:13:50. > :13:57.it! My pro is the best human I have ever met! How important? I cannot do
:13:58. > :14:04.it without him. I cannot do it really. Most people start with a
:14:05. > :14:09.cake and they just have to I sit, but he started with flour, eggs, he
:14:10. > :14:18.had to make the cake, and then start. What I am trying to say is...
:14:19. > :14:22.It is great being a pro, these beautiful girls but hair and make-up
:14:23. > :14:29.on us, what more do want? The last thing I say to Peter is, have fun.
:14:30. > :14:35.What do I say? Don't mess it up. Have fun, yes! When we come down and
:14:36. > :14:44.the music is playing, right at the end of the dance, the end of the
:14:45. > :14:49.music, and Kevin does this. That is why I am not a professional!
:14:50. > :14:52.After coming top of the leader board last week, my next couple had to
:14:53. > :14:57.And as Bruno said, it was like the ballroom scene from Cinderella.
:14:58. > :15:22.Let's relive the fairy tale, it's Prince Peter and Princess Janette.
:15:23. > :15:50.Can I just say, I was so sad, Saturday night, because Jeremy Vine
:15:51. > :15:55.is one of the nicest, kindest people, and made all of us so happy,
:15:56. > :15:58.and you and Karen backstage, always making him laugh! I'm going to miss
:15:59. > :16:03.them so much. One more time! APPLAUSE
:16:04. > :16:06.Magical moment for the two of you, dancing. Look at that address.
:16:07. > :16:11.Beautiful dress, a few people said that we should get married!
:16:12. > :16:13.After doing so well with your Charleston last
:16:14. > :16:16.week, how confident were you going into this week's rehearsals?
:16:17. > :16:25.We were so happy that we got the ten, never expected it to come, and
:16:26. > :16:29.I thought, if nothing else happens, I'm going to remember this forever.
:16:30. > :16:34.Going in with that attitude, it helped me to relax a bit of and
:16:35. > :16:39.enjoy the experience even more. It was great, and I really relaxed in
:16:40. > :16:43.that stance, I loved it. You could really see that, how impressed were
:16:44. > :16:47.you with the performance? Very impressed, it is difficult to go
:16:48. > :16:51.from such a high, like the Charleston, you go for lists and
:16:52. > :16:57.tricks and synchronisation, and all of a sudden, back into a technical,
:16:58. > :17:01.ballroom, trying to keep mistakes minimum. He did brilliant, I watched
:17:02. > :17:10.it back and thought, I'm so happy with that! I really loved it. Joint
:17:11. > :17:14.second on the leaderboard... It is a lovely thing. You even double date
:17:15. > :17:20.on the leaderboard! You two are unbelievable! Cannot escape it.
:17:21. > :17:26.Bruno said you were flawless, isn't that lovely, how difficult is it in
:17:27. > :17:32.the training room? As time has gone on, she has become like... I have
:17:33. > :17:36.always loved her as one of my best mates, but I have got to say, it has
:17:37. > :17:41.got even better, she knows me, she knows the first... She knows what my
:17:42. > :17:45.face looks like, that I'm never going to get it but she allows me to
:17:46. > :17:56.do my own thing until I get the moves. She is very patient. Len did
:17:57. > :18:06.say that it was a bit American smooth.
:18:07. > :18:10.as well as calling you his little peanut.
:18:11. > :18:19.She calls me the same, Fifi, and a few friends back home, and so, I may
:18:20. > :18:25.as well change my name, a lot of people call me that! It was a bit of
:18:26. > :18:31.an American smooth version, but for me, the song was so beautiful, and
:18:32. > :18:36.so big. That voice, as well... Such a big song, I could not... I did not
:18:37. > :18:42.want to stay at home the whole time, I wanted to throw my arms around.
:18:43. > :18:47.Are you all right there, Peter (!) LAUGHTER
:18:48. > :18:51.It was only because the song... You got away with it. And Len was nice
:18:52. > :18:55.to me, need has been quite tough this year, especially with the boys.
:18:56. > :19:00.But I was happy that he was all right with me. Very special day
:19:01. > :19:06.today, Manchester United, Paul Scholes, legend's birthday. We have
:19:07. > :19:12.somebody very special here to bring new York cake, it is your brother!
:19:13. > :19:26.-- hairy special here to bring you your cake. -- very special. One,
:19:27. > :19:33.two, three... ! APPLAUSE Welcome to the experience, how proud
:19:34. > :19:37.are you as a family? I have never been so proud of anybody in my life,
:19:38. > :19:43.for the past 15 years, this girl has worked so hard, and has made it into
:19:44. > :19:56.something so beautiful. Every weekend, everything she does in
:19:57. > :20:00.life, she amazes me. Do you dance? Salsa and party dancing! My kind of
:20:01. > :20:07.man! LAUGHTER Thank you very much! I cannot
:20:08. > :20:12.believe that she has not told me that she is five years old (!) all
:20:13. > :20:16.this time! You have made it through to black ball as well, as if your
:20:17. > :20:25.birthday was not exciting enough! Your hands... Stick of rock... Your
:20:26. > :20:31.hat... How exciting are you to have made it to such a milestone? I have
:20:32. > :20:34.heard about Blackpool being the place for the ballroom... Everything
:20:35. > :20:46.about Strictly I'm so excited. You could not ask
:20:47. > :20:52.for a better dance to be doing. I wanted to feel like that we are at a
:20:53. > :20:57.proper rock concert. Big, explosive, 60s feel, so it is going
:20:58. > :21:03.to be feel-good, celebration, of being at Blackpool, I cannot wait.
:21:04. > :21:08.Thank you so much to your lovely brother, we will share that cake any
:21:09. > :21:13.minute now. But first of all, I need your help, because, we have a little
:21:14. > :21:15.job for you. Over the last three weeks we have seen your amazing
:21:16. > :21:28.attempts to dance, people at home. All in all over 3,800 people
:21:29. > :21:30.took part! Well, it's time to announce

:22:21. > :22:23.Milton Keynes University Hospital. and a huge congratulations
:22:24. > :22:33.to all the winners. And good luck for Saturday,
:22:34. > :22:42.Peter and Janette. Their Charleston really brought out
:22:43. > :22:54.the flapper in all of us It got us into the mood of the
:22:55. > :22:55.dance... I think that there is something stuck on the screen there!
:22:56. > :22:56.LAUGHTER Even Craig got into the mood
:22:57. > :22:59.of the dance and gave them a nine. I wondered how you were going to
:23:00. > :23:14.top your samba, and then you pulled this Charleston
:23:15. > :23:24.out of the bag! Incredible! This was truly
:23:25. > :23:26.fantastic, it made me cry, it was so good.
:23:27. > :23:28.How did it feel on that dance floor compared to
:23:29. > :23:37.Chicago is my favourite film ever, I had been waiting to do the
:23:38. > :23:43.Charleston, I found a character I never knew existed and I went with
:23:44. > :23:48.it! One of those dances where the music... The whole history...
:23:49. > :23:55.Obviously, the choreography... We need to say thank you to Janet, the
:23:56. > :23:58.choreographer... Thank you. I love the way that you still say
:23:59. > :24:13.Charleston in the way that you say it. Charlie... LAUGHTER
:24:14. > :24:17.The 1920s, that was when the Charleston began.
:24:18. > :24:19.Now, as you know, flappers were girls who danced
:24:20. > :24:23.But did you know they were called flappers because they look
:24:24. > :24:25.like birds flapping their wings when they danced?
:24:26. > :24:27.How much did you enjoy getting into the flapper character,
:24:28. > :24:32.Being able to do it in public, fantastic, because I have been
:24:33. > :24:36.dancing like the film all of this time. Last week, a lot of your
:24:37. > :24:38.lifts, we did not want to show them, we did not want to give anything
:24:39. > :24:50.away, but they were incredible. Were they quite scary? Well... They were
:24:51. > :24:59.scary. He just threw me over his shoulder! A little bit scary, seeing
:25:00. > :25:03.the floor! Going over his shoulder. The speed of them as well. Do you
:25:04. > :25:14.watch them back together? Yes, after the show. We find a mistake... I
:25:15. > :25:19.have got to say that she was good, because I have got to be nice!
:25:20. > :25:30.LAUGHTER It was good for the Charleston. I
:25:31. > :25:36.suppose he's just trying to get the best out of you. And also, you did
:25:37. > :25:39.say, you wanted to better Peter and Janette's Charleston, from the week
:25:40. > :25:48.before, which you did, highest score of the series! APPLAUSE
:25:49. > :25:54.How does that feel? There are Charleston was amazing, last, yes, I
:25:55. > :26:01.feel really excited. I want to do my best here, on Strictly, so, week
:26:02. > :26:06.eight, 39 point dream come true. I will not say that I'm really lucky
:26:07. > :26:14.because... She is pretty amazing! She is lucky as well. Saying it with
:26:15. > :26:17.slight reluctance. Bruno, in particular, was saying how much you
:26:18. > :26:23.have grown as a dancer and as a performer. That is what is coming
:26:24. > :26:27.across, can you feel that? Meant so much, as an actress you just want to
:26:28. > :26:30.get better. This show has brought out a site to me as a performer
:26:31. > :26:35.which I did not know about, perhaps I was hiding a little bit. If that
:26:36. > :26:40.can help me in the future with my acting, then, thank you, Strictly.
:26:41. > :26:47.We thank you! Another interesting fact for all of you:
:26:48. > :26:50.Since week two, you've never got a lower score than the previous week.
:26:51. > :27:10.It is difficult, but we need to show improvement every week, so, staying
:27:11. > :27:14.on 39, that is tough enough, but we will just focus on the competition.
:27:15. > :27:26.It is nice that we are getting better. Getting better, every week!
:27:27. > :27:31.getting to Blackpool was for you, and guess what, you're going!
:27:32. > :27:39.I did love your celebration. He has never been to Blackpool, how will he
:27:40. > :27:44.find it? He is going to be freezing! If you think the wind is bad in
:27:45. > :27:50.Manchester, wait until Blackpool, it is freezing! Wait a minute! How
:27:51. > :27:55.about I stay in Manchester and you can go to Blackpool! LAUGHTER
:27:56. > :28:02.Make sure to wear a vest. You are doing the Viennese waltz. American
:28:03. > :28:11.smooth Viennese waltz. That means you can be quite showy. Lifts. How
:28:12. > :28:16.excited are you about this weekend? Very excited, I always thought that
:28:17. > :28:20.if I got the black ball, I would like to do a ballroom number, you
:28:21. > :28:26.cannot get any more ballroom than Blackpool. Ten seconds, how good is
