:00:00. > :00:00.Listen, if you ever end up in the dance off,
:00:00. > :00:20.And if all else fails, the biggest piece of advice I could
:00:21. > :01:26.What a weekend of fun, frills and drama in Blackpool!
:01:27. > :01:32.But unfortunately for Jamelia and Tristan, they were set adrift
:01:33. > :01:38.from the Strictly pier after a staggering five dance offs.
:01:39. > :01:42.We will be chatting to them in a mere moment.
:01:43. > :01:47.Jay and Aliona are here, toasting their Cuban Salsa success story.
:01:48. > :01:49.Plus, the enthralling Karen Hardy will be
:01:50. > :01:56.joining Tristan and Aliona in a very special edition of Ask The Pros.
:01:57. > :01:57.But first...they made Strictly history
:01:58. > :01:59.by being the most saved couple of all time.
:02:00. > :02:02.They may have bowed out last night, but their legend will live on.
:02:03. > :02:23.# So come on and do # What you gotta do
:02:24. > :02:40.# You started... # It is time to show some serious love
:02:41. > :02:45.to Jamelia and Tristan. Hello. Absolutely beauties. What a
:02:46. > :02:53.frock. I thought I would make an effort. Last one. Your last one. You
:02:54. > :02:58.could have made an effort Tristan! What a series for you guys, you
:02:59. > :03:04.played an absolute blinder. I have been so impressed at you two, week
:03:05. > :03:09.after week. And are you sad it is over or is a bit of you relieved you
:03:10. > :03:14.will never have to do a dance off ever again Jamelia? I have begun to
:03:15. > :03:19.enjoy the dance offs. I am obviously sad we are out of the competition,
:03:20. > :03:24.and you know, but I am over the moon that we made it to Blackpool. I
:03:25. > :03:28.thought week three, you know, that was going to be my limit. That is
:03:29. > :03:35.week nine, and not only that, I was so pleased with our dance, I enjoyed
:03:36. > :03:41.it so much. I feel like I went out on a highing you. Very much. It was
:03:42. > :03:45.brilliant that quickstep. In the beginning you were like, you were
:03:46. > :03:50.like that be the ballroom. Darcey said it was your best ballroom? Did
:03:51. > :03:54.you enjoy it? I enjoyed it so much. Had a blast. What was going through
:03:55. > :03:59.your mind in the dance off? Are you still think there's is hope we could
:04:00. > :04:05.do this? I definitely thought there was hope. I thought we did a great
:04:06. > :04:08.last dance. I think it was until they re-recorded Pete's standing
:04:09. > :04:14.ovation. I would say that was the moment I realised we are going home.
:04:15. > :04:18.Really. Tristan, there has been a lot of chat on social media,
:04:19. > :04:21.Jamelia, obviously scored higher than Peter on Saturday night. Len
:04:22. > :04:25.said if it had been a tie he would have saved you. Do you think the
:04:26. > :04:30.judges should have saved Jamelia last night? Well I do. The thing
:04:31. > :04:32.about it is, the show is based on opinions, you know, and there was
:04:33. > :04:36.four opinions who got to decide which way the show went. They gave
:04:37. > :04:40.their opinion, so that is up to them. If it was my opinion I would
:04:41. > :04:46.have saved us. That is the way the show goes. I think that we done the
:04:47. > :04:50.best we could have done. I told Jamelia before we went down, we were
:04:51. > :04:55.resigned to it before the show started. That is the way I think.
:04:56. > :04:59.The way I looked a at it. We can go that is what is going to happen and
:05:00. > :05:04.sit down for the whole week or we can put as much work as we can into
:05:05. > :05:11.making it a much more difficult decision to do. That is what we did.
:05:12. > :05:15.Before went out, said look, your dance at its best is better than his
:05:16. > :05:20.tonight. That was the attitude we needed to pick us up. So, it is not
:05:21. > :05:24.really a silver lining for me. We went out, but, I am very happy about
:05:25. > :05:28.the effort that we put in, and I think we done a great job. I said it
:05:29. > :05:33.on the night. Think it was our best dance overall of the full season. I
:05:34. > :05:36.am very happy with it. But I don't want to take away from the work
:05:37. > :05:41.Janette and Peter put in. That is what is getting lost. It is a tricky
:05:42. > :05:43.situation. This is the thing. You have to understand everyone is
:05:44. > :05:48.working incredibly hard. I would never want to take away from anyone
:05:49. > :05:52.else's efforts. They definitely have put just as much effort as everyone
:05:53. > :05:57.else in and I love them to bits. No hard feelings whatsoever. You know,
:05:58. > :06:03.I am really happy for them. I salute you both. You are so gracious in a
:06:04. > :06:08.tricky situation. And I am glad you enjoyed your experience. How is that
:06:09. > :06:13.floor to dance on by the way? The spring and the crowd? I forgot about
:06:14. > :06:17.it. It was brilliant. It was my most enjoyable dance, and as I said, if I
:06:18. > :06:21.could have scripted my exit, it would have been that, it would have
:06:22. > :06:26.been on Blackpool Tower ballroom against one of the best dancers in
:06:27. > :06:31.the competition, inner a blaze of controversy. -- in a blaze of
:06:32. > :06:35.controversy. Hashtag that everybody. I tell you what, one of the many
:06:36. > :06:54.things we love about you you have never been shy with your emotions.
:06:55. > :07:02.I love it when you cry. How did you find it? I made a big mistake. I am
:07:03. > :07:07.always crying. Are you going to cry? You can have a cry. We are in
:07:08. > :07:10.Blackpool, it is windy. We salute the Queen of crying.
:07:11. > :07:14.I wish you the Queen of crying.
:07:15. > :07:14.it. You do it so beautifully. Do you feel a
:07:15. > :07:21.it. You do it so beautifully. Do you you have done? As I said, I never
:07:22. > :07:26.expected to make it to Blackpool. I 100% believe it is down to this man
:07:27. > :07:32.here, why I was able to make it all the way to show nine, me. I mean, in
:07:33. > :07:37.week one, I genuinely, from, when we had to rehearse that very first
:07:38. > :07:43.group dance, I was a mess, I was like, oh my gosh, I can't dance.
:07:44. > :07:47.Tristan has made me feel, you know what, I have done nine routines.
:07:48. > :07:53.Nine routine, that is crazy. Nine routines. 18 times! You danced more
:07:54. > :07:59.than anyone else ever on this show. Even finalist. Let us remind you of
:08:00. > :08:04.your story. The man who will be holding you tight is Tristan. When I
:08:05. > :08:10.heard Tristan's name... We have waltz. When I think of the waltz. I
:08:11. > :08:14.think of grace and elegance, none of which apply to me. It started off
:08:15. > :08:20.fantastic. It lost a little bit near the end. This week I am doing the
:08:21. > :08:25.cha-cha. The concept is you being a pop star. He wants a diva, he will
:08:26. > :08:29.get one. Are you having a laugh today or what?
:08:30. > :08:34.I like to see the wild animal in you. The couple in the dance off
:08:35. > :08:40.is... Jamelia and Tristan. I am going to do everything I possibly
:08:41. > :08:42.can to ensure that I don't end up in the dance off. You ooze fabulous
:08:43. > :08:49.rhythm. A much better performance. the dance off. You ooze fabulous
:08:50. > :08:55.You were confident. My fingers got caught in her hair. I am so excited
:08:56. > :09:00.about the Charleston. Loved it. You have come into your own, this is
:09:01. > :09:04.your dance. All the single ladies... You had a
:09:05. > :09:11.style about you which I enjoyed watching. It is not all bad. In the
:09:12. > :09:14.dance off is Jamelia and Tristan. You have been on a roller-coaster,
:09:15. > :09:20.it is hard to take a knock? It isn't. I have the world's best
:09:21. > :09:25.cheerleader. He is like, you're grand, you will be all right. I love
:09:26. > :09:28.it when you let yourself go. You have a sense of fun. In the dance
:09:29. > :09:32.off is Jamelia and Tristan. I think I have come to the cob
:09:33. > :09:37.collusion that maybe the public don't like me, and I
:09:38. > :09:42.collusion that maybe the public conclusion. No, they love you!
:09:43. > :09:45.If you're in the dance off this week I am going to pickle my walnuts.
:09:46. > :09:51.Safely through to next week I am going to pickle my walnuts.
:09:52. > :09:57.Jamelia and Tristan. No dance off for you at the weekend. Who ho!
:09:58. > :10:03.Quickstep training has gone surprisingly well. I am loving it.
:10:04. > :10:12.One, two, three u four. I want to beat it again. Over and over and
:10:13. > :10:15.over again at Blackpool! A combination of steps. It was very
:10:16. > :10:22.difficult. It is your best ballroom. Very impressive.
:10:23. > :10:26.I would like to save Peter and Janette. Peter and Janette. Peter
:10:27. > :10:33.and Janette to stay on Strictly. Would you agree 11? No, I didn't. I
:10:34. > :10:39.thought Jamelia and Tristan did a very, very fine quickstep. I would
:10:40. > :10:43.have brought you back. I have had the most fantastic time. I have met
:10:44. > :10:48.the most amazing set of friends. I thought I with us going to get the
:10:49. > :10:52.week three and be gone. I am here at the Tower Ballroom. The improvement
:10:53. > :11:03.has been unbelievable. I couldn't be more proud. Thank you.
:11:04. > :11:07.Oh, you beauties. We got you a little book you can remember. Which
:11:08. > :11:12.was your favourite dance? If you had to pick? It was the quickstep, that
:11:13. > :11:15.was definitely my favourite. It was something I never thought I would be
:11:16. > :11:22.able to do, a great ballroom dance and I just enjoyed it and I looked a
:11:23. > :11:27.bit like Nicki Minaj. You did, the hair. Anything you would like to say
:11:28. > :11:31.to Tristan? I have said it to him over and over again. He is the best.
:11:32. > :11:35.I feel so fortunate to have been partnered with you. I feel I have
:11:36. > :11:43.learned so much. I know it wasn't easy. I love you to bits. Thank you
:11:44. > :11:46.so much for everything. Jamelia, you have been glorious to watch. Well
:11:47. > :11:48.done to you. You have been through so much. I feel. Jamelia and
:11:49. > :11:50.Tristan. Thank you.
:11:51. > :11:51.Tristan. Thank you.
:11:52. > :11:53.It certainly was a dramatic weekend, and with so much drama
:11:54. > :11:56.on the dance floor, heaven knows what was going on backstage.
:11:57. > :12:19.There is a place you go to dance. Take your chance. The second you
:12:20. > :12:24.walk through those doors... There's stunning girls and dashing men.
:12:25. > :12:31.Feather, sparkle. Magic. Glitz. They are used to putting on the Ritz.
:12:32. > :12:37.Toes are tapping. Fingers snapping. The lights are lit. The music is
:12:38. > :12:47.humming. Lady, fella, roll up quickly, the tower is open. The
:12:48. > :12:51.password? Strictly. Hello, It Takes Two. It is Jeremy
:12:52. > :12:56.Vine at a stave distance from the dance floor. I am here to find out
:12:57. > :13:02.what makes the Blackpool show so special.
:13:03. > :13:07.Aliona, this is Blackpool. Is it different, betters what is it? It is
:13:08. > :13:13.by far the most beautiful ballroom in the world. This week we are
:13:14. > :13:17.opening, I can sit back, watch the guys do their thing.
:13:18. > :13:21.My friend peed Pete e you have performed all over the world this is
:13:22. > :13:29.still special? It is special, it is scary, it's an honour. We are in the
:13:30. > :13:34.Vegas of the north. This experience is off the chart.
:13:35. > :13:39.The sense of occasion, just the scale of it all. What is it like on
:13:40. > :13:43.that floor? They say it is springy With Kevin I don't notice it so
:13:44. > :13:48.much. When we are doing the big group number it is like being on a
:13:49. > :13:52.trampoline. It changes the performance of your
:13:53. > :13:56.dance to be able to throw it out to all of the different layers of
:13:57. > :14:00.audience. I always love Blackpool. There is something special about it.
:14:01. > :14:05.The first time I was I was seven. I used to come for competition, but it
:14:06. > :14:13.was in May. This is in November so the tropical feel is gone.
:14:14. > :14:19.You get more as well. We have more prop, extra dancers so we try harder
:14:20. > :14:24.at Blackpool. Is it fair to say the audience is going to give it a bit
:14:25. > :14:31.more welly? Yes, definitely. We are more rowdy up north. Waiting to the
:14:32. > :14:34.last second to the put the shoes on. From behind the scenes our Strictly
:14:35. > :14:43.Come Dancing special in Blackpool. This is Jeremy Vine signing off.
:14:44. > :14:46.I heard that when that man came out of the nightclub, he went for a
:14:47. > :14:47.kebab! This weekend, the celebrity critics
:14:48. > :14:50.were out in force on social media. And we just love a celebrity
:14:51. > :14:58.opinion here on It Takes Two. Indeed she was, Alan,
:14:59. > :15:01.indeed she was. Take That's Gary
:15:02. > :15:11.Barlow shared this. And what a show-stopping performance
:15:12. > :15:26.from Take That last night. # don't want no trouble in the
:15:27. > :15:38.house. # hey, boy, what you got? # can't take take this any more. That
:15:39. > :15:42.was Paul, our floor manager, on voice-overs. His impression show is
:15:43. > :15:44.coming to a TV show near you soon. During all of the weekend's
:15:45. > :15:46.excitement, it seemed Kellie
:15:47. > :15:56.completely forgot about Kevin. Who could forget about
:15:57. > :15:58.Kevin Clifton, I ask you? Now, they opened the show
:15:59. > :16:00.on Saturday night with a Cuban
:16:01. > :16:29.Salsa street party and it delivered Jay and Aliona are here! You have
:16:30. > :16:33.been working on the show so long that you have started to dress
:16:34. > :16:41.alike. Black trousers, white tops. Have you got red soled shoes? Me and
:16:42. > :16:47.Karen Hardy as well. I didn't get the memo! Way to go, McGuinness,
:16:48. > :16:53.owning the show at Blackpool in that way. Incredible. House psyched were
:16:54. > :17:00.you before you went out? I was psyched! I like going near the start
:17:01. > :17:05.of the show so that you have done it and you can watch everyone do their
:17:06. > :17:11.thing and relax before the results. I like going first, and it was a fun
:17:12. > :17:19.dance. Your slinky salsa took us all to Cuba. Well done. Bruno said he
:17:20. > :17:24.could not spot the professional dancers, because you are that good
:17:25. > :17:28.now. How do you like to hear things like that? That is an awesome
:17:29. > :17:35.compliment, really nice of him. I don't feel very Cuban, so I was
:17:36. > :17:42.channelling Benidorm! 2010, ladders' holiday. Bruno loves
:17:43. > :17:48.Benidorm. Four nines, week nine. Aliona, how impressed were you with
:17:49. > :17:53.this boy? Actually, I enjoyed dancing so much with Jay, because
:17:54. > :17:57.poor the first time, it felt like we were dancing together. I could see
:17:58. > :18:03.that he was playing with the dance. He was really dancing with me and he
:18:04. > :18:07.was in the moment. And then the judges' comments were unbelievable,
:18:08. > :18:12.so complimentary. I know what you mean. It is like when your face
:18:13. > :18:22.relaxed. Craig was loving the emotion coming through. Did it feel
:18:23. > :18:33.different, Jay? Yeah, I said I was really looking at you. I was like,
:18:34. > :18:37.hi, Aliona, we are both on Strictly! Look at these moves! It
:18:38. > :18:42.felt good. And the mishap from the week before, you had put to the back
:18:43. > :18:47.of your mind. You just looked really determined. Did that take work,
:18:48. > :18:52.Aliona? No. With us, you never know which way it will go. Before we came
:18:53. > :18:54.on the floor, we went out first, and before the beginning of the show, we
:18:55. > :19:03.went over the routine ten or 15 went over the routine ten or 15
:19:04. > :19:08.mistakes. So we never know, but then when we came on the floor, it
:19:09. > :19:18.actually just happened and it was magic. It was magic. How does a
:19:19. > :19:22.typical training week ago in Miss Vilani's classroom? I hear that
:19:23. > :19:26.sometimes, there is no music on day one. There is no music on day one.
:19:27. > :19:39.It is all about technique on day one and day two. Silence. Then you start
:19:40. > :19:45.to get into character. In the beginning, IT can how to dance the
:19:46. > :19:50.dance. -- I teach him how to dance the dance. Then we start to feel the
:19:51. > :19:59.dance. It depends on the week, but I go with the flow. Sometimes, I have
:20:00. > :20:05.got nothing. I will hear feet scuffling around the floor while she
:20:06. > :20:10.working it out. By the way, the cells are you did on the spread of
:20:11. > :20:14.that feeling went everywhere -- the salsa are you did. It was
:20:15. > :20:29.contagious. One of your biggest fans could not contain himself.
:20:30. > :20:39.That is little Ray from London. His mum Lyndsey sent that message in. In
:20:40. > :20:55.years to come, he is going to love you, Lyndsey. You want to squeeze
:20:56. > :20:59.him! Kuyt. -- Kuyt. On Friday, you said how Aliona and her husband
:21:00. > :21:00.Vincent had given you a lift up to Blackpool. What
:21:01. > :21:05.Vincent had given you a lift up to the music like? It was almost the
:21:06. > :21:12.peak of my week. A road trip. I lay down in the back, Cardigan as a
:21:13. > :21:17.pillow. They put Avatar on the TV in the car. We had a pub dinner. It was
:21:18. > :21:22.awesome. How did you get back? We got into a van. We took the same
:21:23. > :21:32.route back. got into a van. We took the same
:21:33. > :21:35.love, it is like a family. Onto this week, week ten. We have to remember
:21:36. > :21:37.that everybody is getting to know each other well now, so much so that
:21:38. > :22:02.you don't need words. How lovely! A calm moment. What were
:22:03. > :22:07.you playing, counting crows? Yeah, I learned that from my ex when I was
:22:08. > :22:14.17. It was the only thing I can play on piano. Impressive. Onto the
:22:15. > :22:20.tango. You showed Claudia your panko face. I hear there will be fire and
:22:21. > :22:23.ice and all sorts of stuff. There was going to be fire and ice, and
:22:24. > :22:29.then today I started to choreograph. After ten minutes, I
:22:30. > :22:34.had nothing. Then I realised there will probably be no fire and ice.
:22:35. > :22:41.The production doesn't know it yet! They know now. There is a producer
:22:42. > :22:46.called Jack who probably has a board of ice pictures and fire, and he
:22:47. > :22:52.will be watching now. Ripping them all up. Let's start again! Well
:22:53. > :22:59.done, day and Aliona! Good luck with the tango. No fire, no ice. Next, we
:23:00. > :23:12.have Ask The Pros, the Deluxe Edition.
:23:13. > :23:22.Please welcome Karen Hardy, Tristan and Aliona! What a good-looking
:23:23. > :23:26.sofa. Karen, we are going to discuss all the dance is at great length
:23:27. > :23:30.tomorrow. But what did you think over all of the standard at
:23:31. > :23:37.Blackpool and the show? Zoe, I'm really sorry. I'm going to
:23:38. > :23:45.officially strop like a diva. I know this is live TV and you are probably
:23:46. > :23:54.panicking. No, I am calm. I have had enough of Blackpool. It is all about
:23:55. > :24:02.your birthday! Happy birthday, Zoe! Happy birthday, Zoe, 21 again! Have
:24:03. > :24:10.a wonderful day. We are going to have a big party, just for you.
:24:11. > :24:14.Remember that time? It is Claude. I know I look disgusting, but I love
:24:15. > :24:23.you and this Jaffa cake is yours. Happy birthday. Zoe Ball, one of the
:24:24. > :24:28.nicest girls in the world, it's your birthday and I am sending you lots
:24:29. > :24:41.of love down the camera. I can't believe you are 89! You look so hot.
:24:42. > :24:54.Oh, I love you all! That is amazing. Thank you, Jay! I might never let
:24:55. > :24:59.you go. I can't believe Gleb gave the game away. I didn't know where
:25:00. > :25:03.you were going with that, Karen! I was quite scared. I have similar
:25:04. > :25:06.questions for you. We are going to start with a lovely little video
:25:07. > :25:14.from Daniel and Joshua from Southampton. How old were you when

:26:11. > :26:18.can get away with murder if you perform well. Karen, would you
:26:19. > :26:22.agree? Definitely. It comes a bit later in the show, when they have

:27:42. > :27:53.Norina. What is the best thing about Jay? O! Everything. He is a good
