Episode 55 Strictly - It Takes Two

We've got Brian Adams on the show tonight. I've got some mistletoe and

I'm just waiting for him to get a kiss under the mistletoe. It's going

to be perfect. Hi, Zoe. Don't mind if I do. Oh, Giovanni! Hi, thanks.

Oh, hi, Adam Garcia. Zoe. Scott Mills. Do you know where the toilet

is? Just down there on the left. Thanks very much. He'll be along any

minute now. Where is he? Live from London, this is Strictly

It Takes Two. Please welcome your host, Zoe Ball.

Hello and welcome to It Takes Two. CHEERING

. They are likely tonight. It is Friday so you get a whole hour. More

importantly, it is the semifinals. Do the whole song. I feel like

Gareth Malone. In about 24 hours, our couples will be back in the

Strictly ballroom with not one but two dances. It is very exciting. We

will be chatting to more of our semifinalists but that is just the

tip of the iceberg. It wouldn't be Friday without a Friday panel,

starting with the only man on Strictly to look good dressed as a

crab. He is back, Scott Mills. I love him. She is no stranger to our

panel and she's got a right loose lipped. Andrea McClane is here. He

has done everything from dancing on stage to dancing on table tops in

bars in a film. It is Adam Garcia. Nice beard. Seeing as out at the end

of the show, you might have heard of him, it's only Brian Adams.

We will do that again later. I sent a familiar face to get the backstage

gossip at the Strictly Studios. Hopefully he won't have any problems

with people trying to touch his tomatoes. Welcome to the semifinal

of Strictly Come Dancing. Behind me Kevin and Kellie are going through

their routine to prepare for the semifinal, but what is coming up? I

will be chatting with professional dancers. I will be talking to Anita

and Katie. For desert, the delicious Natalie Lowe. I can't wait. It is

lovely to have Ainsley back. Let's chat to my first guest. At the

weekend we saw them as beauty and the beast, and I'm not talking about

Len and Craig. It is Georgia and Giovanni.

Welcome. Congratulations on being in the semifinal. Exciting. That is an

amazing frock. Thank you. You have been a bit poorly but how are you

feeling? I've had pharyngitis. Mike pharynx has been completely broken.

I'm still feeling a bit under the weather. Are you feeling all right,

Giovanni? You haven't got that? A little bit, to be honest. You stay

over there. I may have something to help you later but first of all,

have you recovered from last week and's dance-off? It was a shocker to

see you there. That is probably what brought this on. I was kind of

expecting it that week because it wasn't as good. I was expecting it

to happen. Were you? But you got such great comments. But everybody

is so good. Nobody is safe. The competition is amazing. Everybody

can win. Did you have a little cry? Yeah. I'm not surprised. I think a

lot of people watching were crying. Giovanni? No. He is so hard. How was

it to dance against your mates, Helen and Aljaz? It is a big

problem. It is a competition but when you dance, especially with my

best mate, Aljaz, it is really difficult when somebody has to go

home. As much as you want to stay, I didn't want Helen to go. She

deserves to be in the final. All of them deserve to be in the final. But

you are in the semifinal. I am a bit overexcited tonight. I haven't even

had a sherry yet! The judges saved you unanimously. That must have

been, I know it was upsetting, but that must have felt nice to know

they were behind you. It was amazing but they got upset. Darcey was

crying with us both being there. The studio audience were so quiet. It

was weird. That first week when you just didn't know who was going to be

there. I don't know if I can handle this week. That is wonderful. Craig

said that your fossil that track -- usage of foxtrot was spectacular.

You look so beautiful. How much did you enjoy the dance? It was like a

dream come true. It was a gorgeous dance. It was a dream. Did you enjoy

it, ladies and gentlemen? They loved it. Also in your dance, we were

enjoying the human props. Especially when they got in the way of Bruno

and so he couldn't see. That was hilarious. It might have

been ten if he could see. I assume that wasn't part of the plan? It

wasn't part of the plan. Have you got human props tomorrow? No. You

might be a bit rocked by being in the bottom two but other people have

been in the bottom two and gone on to do well. In 2013, Abby and Aljaz

were in the bottom two but they went on to win. Last year, Caroline and

Pasha were in the dance-off and they walked away with the trophy. You

see? Don't lose heart. Two dances this week. It is an emotional one.

Two dances this week, the Viennese waltz and the cha-cha-cha. You have

been poorly. You had a dance change last minute. Two days' rehearsal.

Wednesday and Thursday. Should we be worried? I am! We are! Monday and

Tuesday were a write-off. I couldn't speak. I was a bit worried. But we

only finished our cha-cha-cha yesterday. It was kind of a bit of a

mix-up. We had to do it the quickest, best way. Giovanni,

considering she has had two days, is it looking good? Yes, I am hoping.

We have some problems with the cha-cha-cha but we have 24 hours. We

are going to try and... It is a lifetime. Do it here now! Georgia

char! Let's have a little look at you doing your Viennese bolts. How

is it going? It is fine. -- your Viennese waltz. We did that in

Blackpool. Looking beautiful. You look so good doing that. That is

very encouraging. Onto the cha-cha-cha. What are the little

bits you need to iron out? It is a difficult dance, very fast. Usually

you spent a week learning cha-cha-cha. But we had just one

day. So that is different. I've got such a face on the! At first you

need to learn the choreography and techniques. -- face on me. He has

got total confidence. We knew you weren't very well so we decided to

get together some tissues. These are remedies for a sore throat. First,

we have, apparently if you suck on a clove of garlic... It will kill all

the bacteria. A legend has it also that liquorice root works a treat

when you mix it with water and gargle it. I got you some liquorice

allsorts. I've eaten most of them. Finally, slippery elm leaves, native

to America, Native Americans believe they heal sore throats. They are all

thinking, don't touch that! That is especially for you. They all sound a

bit weird. I really wouldn't touch them. How do you break up the two

days when you have got two dances? It was really difficult. Usually, we

start with the steps and after that we go to the technique and all of

the rest, like the arms, timing, character. But we need to rush this

week. One dance per day. We just need to give everything in one

moment, like a magician. Remember this. You need Jedi powers. Normally

on a Friday you add the details in the studio. Today, I was still

thinking about the steps. It was a bit strange. Tomorrow is

concentration. I have no doubt that you two will be brilliant tomorrow.

He is giving you the power. Giovanni, your first year on the

show, how special would it be to take Georgia to the final? Oh... It

would be amazing. First year, like, it would be absolutely a dream come

true. It is special this year, it is hard. What does your tattoo on your

arms say? Born to women. Remember that. -- born to win. Believe in

yourself. Fantastic. Georgia and Giovanni! It has been a busy week

for our couples. They have had to start the Christmas shopping, get

the decorations up and squeeze in learning two dances, so let's see

how Anita and Katie are getting on. The Charleston is a show stopper. It

requires message of energy. -- buses of energy. -- masses of energy.

Developing nicely. Very much looking forward to Saturday night. You have

just got to get your timing. A lot of the dance is side-by-side so I

can't be copying Anton. I can't be on hold. I have to go over it again

and again to make sure it is really solid. It is almost there. Myself

that is fast and upbeat. It is crazy with a lot of content. It will be

cool. I feel like he has left the most insane choreography yet for the

salsa. I am with it but I am not. I am up and down and in between his

legs and running and doing the salsa. I'm doing hip-hop. There is

so much going on. I've just got to keep my head in gear and get through

it. That's a good move. I like it. Looking good. On Monday, Bruno

Tonioli will be here to answer your questions. We have waited all series

to see him. You can submit your questions on social media. Let's

head over to the Strictly Studios. This is a very special booth. Each

week, celebrities, dances and even the judges, darling, come in here

and put rather strange faces on this screen here. Do you want to see how

it works? Check this out. I'm going to do a groove for you. Here you go,

yeah, spinning round and round we go. I want to tell you something

about Strictly, don't you know. Grooving, moving... Exciting! If you

want to check it out, go to be strictly Macromedia page because all

sorts of information is on there. For now, I have an important

reservation in the style bar. Follow me. This is one of those places

where we all want to congregate, dancers, celebrities and the judges

block in. This is where the social thing takes off. How are you guys?

Doing well? This is back door security. Everybody would want to

flock in and see the show. So nice to see you. How are you? Lovely to

see you. This is your first year in the competition. It is. Has it been

fabulous? It's been amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better

experience. Getting together with professional dancers. A bit earlier

for Anthony and you. You wanted to show those skills. We really wanted

to show that but we didn't get it. I love coming here every Friday and

Saturday will stop I know about you girls. Look at this. It is Zoe

partying. What do you talk about when you go out? Lots of everything,

lots of girl chat. Shoes, handbags? Cocktails... You were with Peter and

you went through a lot of stress. Each week, being so focused on what

you are doing... Each week, for me, I think, what is the most important

part of a dance question you have to win the judges over. For me, it is

the performance. If you really enjoy yourself and really let yourself get

lost in what you are doing, everybody at home will as well. You

know what, maybe the technique wasn't great but he had so much fun.

That is the most important thing. Out of all you professional dancers,

who would make the perfect Scrooge, the perfect centre and, more

importantly, which one of you would like to be the fairy on top of the

Christmas tree? -- the perfect Santa. The BlackBerry or the whack

fairy? -- the black fairy. There is really no Scrooge. We become a bit

Scrooge like on Monday morning at 7am. Everybody does. Santer and the

fairy? I think Anton. In terms of the fairy, may need. I am the

smallest. She is the easiest to put up a tree. The perfect fairy.

Throughout history, there have been iconic trios, the three Musketeers,

the three little pigs and the BLT. Nothing compares to this 30, my

Friday panel. Welcome, my darling. Scott, so lovely to see you back. So

lovely -- such good memory. I don't think people are using their hands

right. I feel they could use some tips. Are you missing it this year?

I was there to witness it myself. Jeremy Vine's plastic horse. It was

so good. It really was. I am looking forward to seeing him back in the

final. Asda what he has which I wish I had had last year is, even though

not amazing at dancing, he has confidence. Nobody will ever do that

again. Andrea, are you happy with the semifinal line-up? The standard

is incredible. It is so sad that people are starting to get poorly as

people are getting near the finish. They are continuing to fight on.

Rocca is always great. You are an amazing dancer yourself, Adam. You

have been a judge on Strictly in Australia. Can you spot immediately

if a dancer is what it takes or not? I hope so, or they have been paying

me for the wrong job. But, more often than not, I can. The people

who are left. The standard last week as well... Even when Peter left...

That group, you can't pick who will win it. I really can't. Lets get

involved in the nitty-gritty and take a closer look at everybody in

training. First of all, Anita and Gleb, the foxtrot to New York, New

York. Scott, you did a foxtrot. It was genius. Was that a foxtrot?

Difficult to tell! I think it was. What do you think of them?

Brilliant, but somebody excellent is going to leave this weekend. Even

last year, obviously I knew I wasn't going to be in the final, but I

think it was easier to predict last year. I don't know who is going to

win. I get it wrong every year. Let's have a look at George and

Giovanni and their cha-cha-cha. They've only had two days of

training. -- Georgia. They are still stepping it through a bit. What does

she have to do for the cha-cha-cha? Will she survive? At the moment, her

head is down a bit. She is starting to feel a bit poorly. It is quite

overwhelming to get this far. Keep looking up. She is beautiful and

awesome and I think she can do it. She is an incredible dancer. I had

her down for the final. What do you think? I was surprised they were in

the dance-off last week. I was surprised Alan was there as well. I

think she is marking through it. -- Helen. There are a lot of steps and

she seems to have them already. I think she will surprise everyone.

She will be worried about it but it will come through. On to Jay and

Aliona. Their first dance is the Viennese waltz. Brian Adams is in

the building. They are dancing to Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman.

What you think of them? It is hard to pick a favourite but, if I had

to, I think it is Jay. It is incredible with a man coming into a

competition with his beard and his hair and learning to refine all of

that. I think it looks so beautiful. He is doing really well. With his

first dance, he was so terrified he couldn't speak afterwards. He is

also my favourite. He is my most improved. He improves more than

anyone each week. Although he always gets told he needs to show more

face, he is remarkably charismatic. Every dance, there is something

special. Do you find yourself falling in love with him every time?

Yes. I don't know if this is a stalker thing... Let's have a look

at Katie and Anton, who are doing the Charleston to Too Darn Hot.

Everybody loves a Charleston. This could work for me. I am about on a

par with Scott. I could possibly crab walk through a Charleston. I

did a Charleston as well. It wasn't a Charleston. We should pack up!

That could go on tour. What do you think? I find Anton really funny. He

is such a ballroom man. What do I know? Here on the expert panel. I

love them. I think she is incredible. OK, let's look at Kellie

and Kevin's rumba. They are dancing to Songbird by Eva Cassidy. She is a

wonderful dancer but what she has done, week in, week out, is she

manages to find the character of the dance with every dance. There is

something about how she moves and gets into the tone of the dance. I

think the rumba will suit her and she will have lots of sense you will

fund. People can be one way or the other about the rumba. Last week, it

was all about... She can all show edge she can now show her sultry

side. She will be amazing. Thank you, Friday panel! As crisp as edges

closer, I am sure our professional dancers have a festive treat in

store. -- Christmas edges closer. They are doing a tropical Latin

theme? Naturally, of course... This week's Group Dance is a Latin

number. This dance is well-suited for Janette and I because we love to

dance salsa, we are both Latino... It will be shot with one camera.

Everything you see in the shot would be created by dancers moving in and

out. We have a moving wall which creates a transition between

different scenes. It is a Latin nightclub, basically. I am the

bouncer. Everybody is getting to do their own party piece. There quite a

few optical illusions. There is a bit where the boys dance with their

legs. And they wear skirts. You have to be perfect because, one step out,

it will all go wrong. We will have a sofa, a moving ball... And don't

forget the glitter bomb. It is a hard routine but we have faith. It

will be amazing. Having a little boogie, getting on down. You look

familiar. We have been waiting all series but Craig is yet to pull out

his tend paddle. Earlier this week, we launched the find Craig's ten

paddle appeal. We have had a huge response. There have even been some

fresh sightings, including these suspicious looking ladies. He was

spotted trying to make a quick getaway in their boat. If you see

them, approach with caution! And anonymous whistle-blower believes

her son James has been harbouring the paddle for the last few days.

The most disturbing sighting of all came from Hannah in Essex. That is

so cute! If you have any information or new sightings, send them into us.

At the weekend, she was put to her acting limits when she had to become

an East End barmaid. Kellie and Kevin.

Welcome and congratulations getting to the semifinals. Kellie and Kevin,

that was ace work. Well done. Nowhere near the dance-off last

weekend. Triumphant. How were you feeling after the show? I couldn't

believe how well it had gone. I loved it! We had such a good time

doing that routine. It sort of just felt so lovely and such a joy to

dance. I don't know, it was kind of... In a way, I felt a bit

worried. I should be more worried! It was brilliant, I loved it. Had a

great weekend. Your little face! Kevin, it was such... The judges

loved it. Len wanted to watch it again. Craig said, it was common,

but I loved it! Wind did you know it was going to be a corker? -- when

did you know. Quite early. People have been saying how Kellie finds

the character. Adam said that. He is right, she really gets into the

character. There was something about this number, as soon as we started,

we were having loads of fun. I thought, this could be brilliant.

Every time we danced in rehearsal, Kevin would just be like this... We

were singing along in rehearsal. Did you get face ache from smiling? We

did see it on Len lens. Really getting into the spirit of the

dance. Let's see it one more time. Here is Kellie having a singalong.

I could hear you singing. An interesting key change! Oh, dear.

Your reaction also when your names were read out to say you were not

going to the dance-off and you were going through, that was beautiful.

We were so shocked. Because we have been in the dance-off twice before

and we were the only couple left that had been in the dance-off, I

just thought... We just expected it. When we were called out first... We

were not ready. Even on the off chance that we have got through

without the dance-off, we thought they would leave it till the end

because people would expect it. We were not ready for it. We called out

-- they called out our names and we went not! If you get through to the

final, it means Vue -- it means that you would be the only care to have

made it through after being in the dance-off three weeks in a row.

Low-pressure! No pressure at all. One of them is the American Smooth

to New York, New York. I am absolutely in love with this

routine. I wanted to do a Fred and Ginger, the ball gown. The sparkling

rain falling from the ceiling. And Kevin Clifton has just made my

dreams come true. It is a gorgeous routine. It makes me smile. It.

We both love it. Yes. I tried on my costume today.

Vicky brought it in, it is the full she bang. I was like a child,

jumping up and down. Never taking it off.

All three layers of feathers. Kevin, now in the American smooth.

There are about six. That is a lot. And also, the number.

He is bursting out of his jacket. The rumba, Adam was saying how you

get into the character of the dance. I am loving the rumba. More than ii

properly loved any of the other dancers. It is a dance, but probably

the hardest I have done. We have had to do two routines as well as

filming everyday. This is not an easy dance.

It has nearly been the straw that has broken the Camel's back.

I love it. It is really romantic, a beautiful dance. We have talked a

lot about what it symbolises funny. I am really loving it. The song

means a lot to me. It has been interesting watching you

in training. Occasionally you struggle to get in the Romantic

mood. This is the next level stuff we're

not faking a rumba. Do a bit of a caress. And then... I emotionally

turn you around. Come back here. Oh, dear.

Oh, sugar lumps. OK. That really made us laugh. You can tell she is a

mum, sugar lumps. Kellie, we need to do something

about this whole not being attracted to Kev situation, so we thought we'd

help you both by giving Kev the necessary tools to get the ball

rolling on this rumba romance. Kev is going to try and seduce you,

and all you have to do is keep a straight face for

as long as possible. He means business. She is doing

really well... . Kellie.

Are you a parking ticket, because you've got FINE written

You're looking a bit pale, maybe you're missing some

Who writes all of this stuff, quickly, one more.

If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.

Well, it is going to be amazing. Well done.

We can't wait to see you perform tomorrow.

OK, let's see what corner of the Strictly studios Ainsley has

I absolutely love being back in this ballroom. There is a real buzz.

I love being here. We have Jay and Aliona on the dance floor.

They are dancing to Brian Adam, a great song.

It is very emotional. He can show a lot of feeling within this. It is

beautiful, actually. The Viennese waltz is one of the highest scoring

dancers on strictly come this might be a good one for them, hopefully.

Have you been watching the other rehearsals?

I have been doing my own rehearsals, we have a full on group dance with

lots of props. I haven't actually been able to focus on anybody.

You talk about props. Walking around the back, let us look at the props

department. Some inside knowledge. It is a bit dark in here.

Come on down here. We don't normally see this part, it is like going

through the tradesman is entrance. It is not glamorous. Not at all.

Some sparkly steps. I think that is for Anita and Gleb,

walking down those tomorrow night. And we have a Tardis, check this

out. Look at this. Kids, Dr Who, Tardis.

How wonderful is that? I have to say, the props team turn around

things like this within three or four days, to get our performance to

life. They really are important to the

dance routine. Think about the tomatoes in your

routine, it wouldn't have been so special.

What is she like! Getting the perfect score

from the judges is no easy feat, especially when it comes

to everyone's favourite party Unbelievably, no couple has managed

to secure a 40 in all of Strictly history, but why and what do

they need to do? Luckily, Kevin and Karen Clifton

have all the answers. Last time, we spoke about the rumba.

The other dance is the samba. There were only Dawlat dancers, who

scored 39, Abbey Clancy, and Frankie Bridge, who danced with Kevin.

The samba is tricky because of the changes of rhythm, the bounce and

hip action. The judges are very critical on

scoring. Such a hard technique for that

double bounce. It needs to look like you are having

the time of your life. You need to be on the balls of your

feet. The perfect samba needs that gorgeous action, bounce action, lots

of rhythm changes. The samba is fast paced and can look

messy, they want it clean and technical.

It seems to be a stumbling block for many who had taken to the studio.

Let us find out why. The first thing is the bounce

action. This is a samba whisk, side, behind, the place.

We are going up and down and bouncing as we are dancing.

Bounce and bounce. Unlike the other Latin dancers, we are soft in the

knees which enables us to keep dancing.

The samba is not a stationary dance so to travel down the dance floor,

the use promenade barns. -- runs. We are still using our knees, arms,

there is still rhythm in the body, stepping on the balls of your feet.

Think about softening your knees, finishing your arms, looking at your

partner and having fun. The next step if you're feeling

really confident is this one. These are all about fast feet and

fast hips, here we go. 123. All in the hips. We go as fast

as we can. A very difficult one for the

celebrities. Keep it going.

Combine the three and you should have something like this.

There you go, followed these steps and you could get a perfect 40 for

your samba. It is not that easy.

You haven't done it! Neither have you. What did you say!

It is like that every night down the Pistons.

-- Cliftons. Right, it's time for some more

highbrow choreography analysis So, let's hear it for

Adam, Andrea and Scott. They are the only couple left

who haven't had a 10 What does she need to do

to take her performance She is really graceful and there is

something really sweet. They are a lovely couple. I don't

know what it will take to get a ten. Does it matter in the competition

now? I think there might be a few people

who could get plenty of high schools. It could be close. They

will all be grouped around the same amount.

And if Anton makes it to the final? Can you imagine, he will never stop

talking about it. Jay and Aliona are

doing the Charleston. They are dancing to Doctor Jazz.

Apparently like no other in the series. It looks like he is just

saving it! Andrea Poli you love him, with a mum crush, how is he doing?

He is doing well. He did look like he was stepping it out. I am sure he

will be grand. What do you think? I love him, he is

brilliant to watch. I admire how far he has come. He was absolutely

terrified. I know how it feels. It never gets

less terrifying. Kellie and Kevin are dancing to Nat

King Cole, an American Smooth. What do you think, Adam, look at

that footwork and position? This is looking good, this is a very

hard dance. Why is it so hard? Because it is so slow, it is about

balance, how you hold yourself, your poise, it is like slow motion. Very

hard to control and keep as a couple together, perfectly in hold with

everything in the right position. But they look really good.

Scott, what can you add to doing this kind of dance? Jo Clifton

worked for hours on technique with you, what do you remember about the

hold and the feet? Joanne used to whisper, on the show

and in training, left! Right! By week six, the

ventriloquism was great. You could see her lips move.

I don't know my left from right, I would be in trouble.

We could make use special shoes. Such a clever idea.

That is how I dance! Anita and Gleb have got the salsa

to this lively number. Are you seeing what's required

for a showstopping salsa? This is so fast, imagine the speed,

can they do it? How does it look to you, Adam?

Anita is so unbelievably capable, she seems to be able to do every

step. She learns and pretends choreography will stop Gleb throws

everything in his dancing, so much content. She keeps up. She dancers

brilliantly, I am excited to watch that.

Andrea? I think the same, everything he throws up her, she takes it on

board and does it. Quite under Mark last week by Craig.

Six, a shocker. What should it have been? Eight.

They might have turned it upside down.

What would you have given? Gleb had a truncheon.

Adam, what would you have scored? Eight, nine.

And finally, Georgia and Giovanni are doing the Viennese waltz

She is so good at ballroom? She is so beautiful. I really hope she can

up herself. She looked poorly in the programme. She is going to be so

beautiful. I love her. She doesn't need to be

in the dance off again. I don't think she well. It is tough.

What do you think? She really suits ballroom. She is an event.

Excellent. A difficult question to ask.

You've seen all our couples, so who do you think will be getting

You have been a judge, you can be tough, who will go home?

I really don't know. I have a feeling...

I had to push you. Katie.

I agree, actually. Who do you think?

Not Katie. I need an answer.

An easier question, who will lift the trophy? I will pick Jay.

I agree with you again. Scott, you have been there, who do you want to

see with the Treasury? I would really like it to be Jay.

A Let's hear it for our Friday Panel,

Adam, Andrea and Scott. Right, let's head back

to the Strictly Towers for the final Tomorrow night, this is where our

couples will stand, before they head out onto the ballroom floor.

It is exciting for me. Further, it will be, wow.

This is very special. I have brought you here because normally we have

the cameras on the floor. Nobody gets up here. This is an

exclusive. Have a look down here. We have the

pit where the orchestra are. The singers. As you can notice, there is

glitter everywhere. Week 11, everywhere, little bits of

glitter. And look at that, what a surprise,

talk about semifinalists. Katie and Anita, let us go down and meet them.

I am thrilled! Girls! Welcome! It is so lovely to

see you. Anita and Katie.

I could kiss you forever. You have done so well.

We have done all right. I know you are in the middle of

rehearsals. How is it going, how much more intense is it?

A tough week. Everyone is in the same boat. Whose idea was it to do

two dancers in one week. Intense but fun.

I do think all of us, regardless of our backgrounds, we are getting

better at learning choreography which has helped.

What are you missing from your normal lifestyle?

Everything. Family? Everything. We are in a bubble, having the best

time. But real life has been on pause.

Christmas is coming. We will be in the thick of it. I

have to make-up for a lot of meals I haven't cooked.

I will cook you one! And used to.

My husband, I said, you have been cooking and cleaning. He said, don't

get used to it. Do you have a favourite dance?

You are doing salsa? We have a slow and a fast, Charlton and waltz.

Foxtrot and a salsa. Completely contrasting. Beautiful songs. New

York, Frank Sinatra. The salsa is Feel This Moment.

Gleb loves throwing you around in the air.

Every week, his career but he has been insane. I think he has left the

most mental to the semifinal, the salsa, will be something.

And Anton? I am getting chucked around a lot in the Charleston. Too

Darn Hot from Kiss me Kate. And a nice little bit of Opera for our

waltz. Puccini. Ladies, the costumes you wear,

people are constantly writing in. People are mad about your costumes.

Is it like walking into a fantastic shop and trying on wonderful

outfits. One of the most brilliant things

about strict Lee. The icing is when you get transformed. The make-up and

hair. With the costume on, you have to dance. When else would you wear

that? Going into wardrobe is like walking

into a jewellery box. Finally, have you ever been in a

final of everything before? A school music competition, a piano

duet competition. I don't know. An egg racing

condition which I won! One of these girls will win, I know

it, the brilliant. I love you all. Thank you, ladies.

Trivia fans, grab your hankies because it's time for the final

instalment of Robin Windsor's guide to all things Strictly.

Hi, there, welcome back to our rundown of highlights.

We are almost at the end of our compilation of everything.

We have saved the best till last. Walnuts. Pickled, of course.

Pickled walnuts, you say? If you are not back next week, I

will pickled by walnuts. Tickle my walnuts. If you don't get

top marks, I will go home and pickled by walnuts.

If you are in the dance-off, I will pickled by walnuts.

I have pickled them if you times. X rated. Look away now if you are

nervous disposition. Last year, Jake Wood was shaking his

hips. And gyrating that booty. The girls have been getting in on

the act. Nice cat suit! And another thing.

What is under the kilt? A pickled walnuts, anyone?

You, the strictly super fans, take it away.

Why does the Charleston often school high points compared to the other

ones? Charlotte gives you guys a ten.

John gives you guys a ten as well. Zoo. Strictly has a history of

encouraging our celebs to bring out their wild sides.

Signing Steve back sure with his performance last year. He got a bit

crabby, didn't he. That is the end of our a to Z.

Back to you, Zoe. Oh, wait, I forgot one very important thing. Said is

also for Zoe! -- Z. Can I sit down yet, I look

ridiculous. We love you, Zoe.

Love you too. Thank you to all of my guests

and Ainsley at the Strictly studios. Make sure you watch the semifinal

tomorrow at 6.50pm on BBC One. I'll be back on Monday

with the unlucky couple To play us out, it's the legendary
