Tonight we have a stupendous show for you, my pretties.

:00:00.:00:00.

We wave arrivederci to Anita and Gleb.

:00:07.:00:11.

Live from London, this is Strictly: It Takes Two.

:00:12.:01:12.

Hello and welcome to the final week of It Takes Two.

:01:13.:01:23.

Tonight we raise a toast to Anita and Gleb, who sadly left

:01:24.:01:25.

That leaves four couples reaching for the stars this weekend,

:01:26.:01:34.

and a little later on some of their famous supporters

:01:35.:01:37.

Plus, he may be the last judge to grace us with his presence,

:01:38.:01:44.

But first, who can forget their fiery paso doble in Blackpool

:01:45.:01:53.

# We come to the end of the road... #

:01:54.:02:25.

I'm standing up! We love you so much. I'm so sorry that you got so

:02:26.:02:39.

close and just missed out at the last hurdle. You have been

:02:40.:02:43.

incredible. I think you should celebrate because you have been

:02:44.:02:46.

magnificent. How much have you enjoyed it? I have loved it. Yeah.

:02:47.:02:52.

Loved it. I have thrown myself into the experience from day one. I just

:02:53.:02:58.

thought if you are going to do this, let's go for it. Hopefully, that

:02:59.:03:02.

came across. I think so. No expectations of what it would be,

:03:03.:03:05.

really, and thought I fancy learning how to dance. Then, I don't know, we

:03:06.:03:11.

had a ball. It was amazing. I loved it. In the beginning, when you think

:03:12.:03:16.

way back, it seems like years ago, did you have any expectations of

:03:17.:03:20.

what the competition would be like or how far you would get? And when

:03:21.:03:24.

you first started dancing with Gleb, did you think, I could get good at

:03:25.:03:29.

this? Or this will be a matter of weeks? I have always loved dancing

:03:30.:03:32.

and I have loved the programme. Like anybody, I used to dance in front of

:03:33.:03:38.

Top of the Pops as a kid. This, like learning to dance is so hard. I have

:03:39.:03:43.

so much respect for Gleb and all the other pros and the amount of

:03:44.:03:46.

dedication and just how physically demanding it is. And mentally

:03:47.:03:50.

challenging. So, no, nothing prepares you for just how difficult

:03:51.:03:56.

it is, to learn and not only that, perform live every Saturday, my

:03:57.:04:03.

goodness have I had a good time! Gleb, we know you have worked Anita

:04:04.:04:08.

so very, very hard. She's not disappointed you. She has been

:04:09.:04:12.

incredible. How proud are you? How impressed are you with her? I'm so

:04:13.:04:18.

proud of you. I said it already, many, many times that a person who

:04:19.:04:23.

had no dance experience coming in and giving your all, 100%, working

:04:24.:04:27.

so hard, wanting to learn how to dance, trusting me, and just jumping

:04:28.:04:34.

me into this journey with me and it's been just super. Oh... I heard

:04:35.:04:40.

somebody gasping in the audience. Somebody is weeping! I don't know

:04:41.:04:44.

that is because Gleb has his shirt undone! Your salsa, what an amazing

:04:45.:04:51.

performance. Craig said it was like the Olympics! It really was. All of

:04:52.:04:56.

that, and in a wedge, Anita! So, impressed. Really complex

:04:57.:05:01.

choreography there as well. And then you had to do it again in the

:05:02.:05:04.

Dance-Off. You must have been exhausted? I just feel, like, when

:05:05.:05:08.

we watched it back, we watched it back after we done the show, and

:05:09.:05:12.

Gleb was laughing, how you are pulling this off! Now, you are

:05:13.:05:18.

saying that! It is what Gleb said after working together for so many

:05:19.:05:23.

weeks, you become one and I have trusted him. Everything he says, he

:05:24.:05:27.

says don't worry, do it, I will catch you. I trust him. I knew if he

:05:28.:05:32.

says I can do it, I will be able to do it. It is fine. That was the most

:05:33.:05:37.

complicated routine ever. You made the show! Ahh! First time in the

:05:38.:05:43.

bottom two as well, when you heard you were in the bottom two, what

:05:44.:05:47.

went through your mind when you had to dance against Katie and Anton? I

:05:48.:05:53.

thought let's give it our all. Honestly, we felt that the public

:05:54.:05:57.

have our back, in such a huge way and the last two days, I have been

:05:58.:06:00.

so fine about the fact we are out. It is a wonderful show. And that was

:06:01.:06:06.

it. Our time was then. What sort of really overwhelmed me is the

:06:07.:06:09.

reaction we have had from the public who have been so devastated on my

:06:10.:06:14.

behalf because they know how hard we have worked and so I felt when we

:06:15.:06:18.

were in the Dance-Off, OK, I don't know, I don't know whether we are

:06:19.:06:22.

going to be the ones saved here. The public have supported me, I guess,

:06:23.:06:26.

more than anything. There are people incensed at what's happened. Sam and

:06:27.:06:37.

Katie, they were both very upset. So many lovely messages. SaiR Ra said,

:06:38.:06:43.

"You may not have made the Final, but you will always be my winners."

:06:44.:06:47.

Adil Ray from sitcom Citizen Khan shared this.

:06:48.:06:48.

"Well done Anita Rani, a true star who went

:06:49.:06:50.

Looking forward to you showing me a move or two soon.

:06:51.:06:54.

And the legend that is Russell Grant shared this.

:06:55.:06:59.

"To Lose Anita and Gleb from Strictly is to lose vitality,

:07:00.:07:01.

That is really - it is overwhelming. Originality, that comes down to

:07:02.:07:19.

Gleb. Ahead of your time, mate! Genius. Brilliant. Let's enjoy some

:07:20.:07:23.

of those incredible moments that you two have given us throughout this

:07:24.:07:28.

series. The one showing you what to do,

:07:29.:07:37.

Anita is Gleb. We are doing cha cha cha, super-fast, super-fun... And

:07:38.:07:41.

super-difficult. This is the most embarrassing thing ever. The sexy...

:07:42.:07:49.

Great energy, you threw yourself into the dance. Fantastic to see.

:07:50.:07:56.

This week, I'm doing an American Smooth and I know nothing about this

:07:57.:08:00.

dance! It is really hard. Just feel it. Open up. You flew across the

:08:01.:08:10.

floor like a rampant crab! What was that move when you crawled across

:08:11.:08:19.

her? A Gleb special! This week, I'm doing the Samba. The only thing Gleb

:08:20.:08:23.

has said to me about this dance is, it is very difficult. You want

:08:24.:08:29.

something more dramatic than paper cups to throw at the floor!

:08:30.:08:34.

That was one of the most dramatic waltzes I have ever seen. You never

:08:35.:09:08.

fail to give your all. Just as I suspected, the jive is

:09:09.:09:16.

super-difficult and very, very fast. Nine! Bruno Tonioli? Nine!

:09:17.:09:27.

It will be amazing. You turned the ballroom into a bull ring! Nine.

:09:28.:09:45.

Ten! Nine! I'm sorry, that is the best paso doble I have ever, ever

:09:46.:09:50.

seen on Strictly Come Dancing! The rumba is the hottest dance of all

:09:51.:09:59.

the dances. First of all, you did a lift and you are not supposed to.

:10:00.:10:03.

There you go... I felt elegant doing it. I know we broke the law a little

:10:04.:10:09.

bit. This week I have the Argentine tango, the choreography is insane!

:10:10.:10:19.

bit. This week I have the Argentine You have got to go like that! Six! I

:10:20.:10:27.

thought I done it alright. Until Craig absolutely slated it! It is a

:10:28.:10:33.

semifinal. My foxtrot is hopefully going to be a timeless

:10:34.:10:41.

Hollywoodesque classic dance. You have got it right tonight. You

:10:42.:10:46.

understood what this dance required. I feel like he's left the most

:10:47.:10:49.

insane choreography yet for the salsa.

:10:50.:10:54.

# We used to have it all... # I really enjoyed that. Craig, who

:10:55.:11:01.

would you like to send through to the Final and why? Anita and Gleb.

:11:02.:11:08.

Katie and Anton. Katie and Anton. Katie and Anton. This man is a slave

:11:09.:11:14.

driver, yes, he is beautiful, but he's also got the most creative mind

:11:15.:11:20.

and the choreography and I have just had the best time. Gleb, thank you.

:11:21.:11:27.

My goodness me. You have done all that. It is quite incredible. The

:11:28.:11:30.

ultimate moment for you, do you think? I guess it would have to be

:11:31.:11:40.

the paso in Blackpool. It was other worldly. What a magical moment. In

:11:41.:11:48.

the Tower Ballroom - oh yeah, I can't believe it is me. I want to

:11:49.:11:49.

say thank you to Gleb. honestly, I have always wanted to

:11:50.:11:56.

learn how to dance and... You did. You will always be the man that

:11:57.:11:59.

taught me and you know what? Gleb is going to have a fantastic career

:12:00.:12:01.

taught me and you know what? Gleb is Strictly, but I will always be his

:12:02.:12:06.

first! You have been a joy. Gleb, you know what I think about you!

:12:07.:12:11.

With our finalists now revealed and the grand final fast

:12:12.:12:18.

approaching, have you ever wondered what our celebrities think

:12:19.:12:21.

From the BBC, this is Strictly Come Dancing: The Semifinal.

:12:22.:12:37.

Please welcome our Strictly stars... Kellie Bright, Katie Derham, Jay

:12:38.:12:52.

McGuiness and Georgia May Foote. Being in the semifinal is the

:12:53.:12:55.

toughest. I have never danced like this before in my life. I thought I

:12:56.:13:04.

would enjoy it. I have loved it. There is no rivalry this year. We

:13:05.:13:11.

are all willing each other on. Georgia is so diddy, she is the

:13:12.:13:15.

sweetest girl. One of the most genuine girls ever. It is the

:13:16.:13:19.

semifinals. I love watching Georgia and Giovanni dance. She has

:13:20.:13:26.

blossomed. Throughout this, Kellie has been my Strictly mum. It is in

:13:27.:13:30.

her bones, whatever she does, she wants to look after people. Final

:13:31.:13:36.

prep, trying to stay calm. Beautiful dancing, and she can turn her hand

:13:37.:13:41.

and feet to anything. Nothing fazes her at all. When I first met Jay, I

:13:42.:13:47.

thought he needs a haircut! Modest, kind, funny. He is a beautiful

:13:48.:13:54.

dancer. And for me, he has always been a beautiful dancer. Katie

:13:55.:14:02.

Derham is such a gorgeous lady and lady is the word. We are all jealous

:14:03.:14:07.

of Katie's legs, they are just phenomenal. Down and turn around.

:14:08.:14:15.

She has the most beautiful smile on her face. She is like a swan with a

:14:16.:14:27.

bit of hotness! Your finalists are Katie and Anton... Jay and Aliona...

:14:28.:14:35.

Georgia and Giovanni... Kellie and Kevin!

:14:36.:14:39.

Now, as the last four celebrities sweat it out in the training room

:14:40.:14:40.

ahead of this Saturday's final, we are joined by some

:14:41.:14:42.

of their closest friends, here to convince you who should win.

:14:43.:14:46.

Please welcome Luisa Bradshaw-White, Hayley Tamaddon, Tom Parker

:14:47.:14:49.

The campaign starts now. Bonnie, how proud are you? We are so into

:14:50.:15:11.

Strictly that my character, her cat is called Craig Revel Horwood. This

:15:12.:15:15.

is serious. We are part of the storyline now. Kellie has done the

:15:16.:15:27.

most amazing job. Everybody says that you work so hard and everybody

:15:28.:15:32.

works hard but Kellie is doing these amazing storylines and dancing as

:15:33.:15:35.

well. I saw heard this morning and she said she wobbled on the Rumba

:15:36.:15:42.

but she was phenomenal and she is just so authentic and genuine and

:15:43.:15:47.

her and Kevin together, just a wonderful team, on the same page.

:15:48.:15:53.

Beautiful. What did you think of the Fred and Ginger routine? Gorgeous,

:15:54.:15:57.

enchanting and they were having such a great time. They have fantastic

:15:58.:16:03.

stuff for the final. I am very excited. I cannot say a word! What

:16:04.:16:09.

do you think about Kellie and Kevin? Kellie is amazing and I think the

:16:10.:16:13.

fact she has been in the bottom two and took Kevin to the bottom two for

:16:14.:16:19.

the first time! She felt so responsible. I wanted to weep

:16:20.:16:23.

because she'd tell that on board. She felt guilty and made me love her

:16:24.:16:30.

a bit more, she is gutsy and I enjoyed watching her. Haley, you are

:16:31.:16:36.

a good friend of Georgia and she had a tough week with the two dances,

:16:37.:16:41.

she was poorly and she wrote it, how impressed? She stormed it. There is

:16:42.:16:46.

nothing worse than feeling poorly. You have got to perform and put a

:16:47.:16:50.

face on. I would not have known, nobody would. She smashed that

:16:51.:16:57.

routine. I was so proud of her. What do you think about their

:16:58.:17:02.

partnership, her and Giovanni? It is his first year, he was lucky. What

:17:03.:17:08.

an amazing first year for him, that partnership is special and she is a

:17:09.:17:11.

great little actors. You can see the emotion in it. No embarrassment

:17:12.:17:15.

between them and they do it. They know what to do to look perfect and

:17:16.:17:21.

romantic. She goes for it every time and I love that. As she given you

:17:22.:17:26.

any secrets about her showdowns? I have heard rumours. My favourite bit

:17:27.:17:34.

was when she did Chicago. It was all to Matt. It was mental. Fingers

:17:35.:17:40.

crossed we see that in the final. She has to do that. What do you

:17:41.:17:44.

think about Georgia? She is a light for, enchanting. She is very good at

:17:45.:17:56.

doing the Latin and the traditional, she was enchanting as Belle. She is

:17:57.:17:59.

good at everything and does not have a favourite. She said the other day

:18:00.:18:04.

she prefers the ballroom. From a young person, you would not think

:18:05.:18:09.

that. Her ballroom is so romantic. Very lyrical. Her frame and her

:18:10.:18:16.

little hand, she is so tiny. She is tiny. Our floor manager was loving

:18:17.:18:25.

it! As is everybody. You were in The Wanted with Jay and he was so shy at

:18:26.:18:30.

the beginning and terrified, has he surprised you? Yes, he has. He has

:18:31.:18:37.

come a long way. When I first saw him, I was like, do something,

:18:38.:18:43.

anything! What are you doing? But I think he has. The hairstyle

:18:44.:18:48.

transformation, he has come a long way. It is mainly the dancing! Have

:18:49.:18:54.

you been nagging him to cut that hair? Yes, I kept saying, have you

:18:55.:19:00.

cut your hair? He said, no, I love it. He has come a long way and

:19:01.:19:04.

become a lot more confident because of the show which is nice because he

:19:05.:19:09.

was quite introverted in the band. It is nice to come out of his Shell.

:19:10.:19:14.

You notice he takes on board what the judges say and he takes it

:19:15.:19:18.

seriously and personally. He has cried a couple of times and I said,

:19:19.:19:23.

it you are crying on TV! But he does take things very hard. That is good.

:19:24.:19:30.

It means so much to him and so he works really hard in training. I

:19:31.:19:34.

disagree with the judges went they say he does not show enough

:19:35.:19:37.

expression, the emotion comes through. And the jibe so early, that

:19:38.:19:47.

we me away. -- Jive. It is the most watched we have seen on Strictly.

:19:48.:19:52.

When you are not used to being soap close to a woman all the time, it is

:19:53.:19:56.

hard to show your emotion and he does it well. He is the last man

:19:57.:20:01.

standing. And he is a gentleman about it. You are a friend of Katie.

:20:02.:20:08.

DG think she would get to the final? No! -- digital thing. No, but I said

:20:09.:20:17.

on Twitter she would be in the final because she had a strong start but

:20:18.:20:23.

99% of that was being a friend! But big grew together. She is such a

:20:24.:20:32.

clever girl, Katie. She is one of my clever friends and she is so

:20:33.:20:36.

musical. She has this background in classical music and you can see that

:20:37.:20:40.

she hears the music. I knew she could throw shapes because she is

:20:41.:20:44.

the girl at the party on the Dons for first and last and I thought

:20:45.:20:47.

that, Katie will know how to perform. -- dance floor. She has a

:20:48.:20:52.

secret performer inside her and that is not a secret any more. I cannot

:20:53.:20:57.

wait to see her at the final party. What about the relationship

:20:58.:21:01.

wait to see her at the final party. her and Anton, she is the First Lady

:21:02.:21:05.

to take Anton du Beke to the final! You can put people on is it quiet

:21:06.:21:11.

but it is Katie who got him there in the end! -- is the wire. When I saw

:21:12.:21:22.

she had him, I was ecstatic. The make-up artist said, what is wrong

:21:23.:21:27.

with you? I said, my friend has the best partnership! Very exciting. I

:21:28.:21:30.

knew they could go a long way together because they are very

:21:31.:21:34.

similar. I love Anton and it has been delightful watching them. What

:21:35.:21:36.

a final it will be! Now, he is the Strictly

:21:37.:21:39.

jack-in-the-box judge who could really do

:21:40.:21:44.

with a seat belt. He is here! Bruno Tonioli. So nice

:21:45.:22:11.

to see you. I have had to wait for you so long. So busy! You are a

:22:12.:22:18.

wanted man. Finally, we have you come how are you? Very, very well.

:22:19.:22:21.

You happy with come how are you? Very, very well.

:22:22.:22:26.

Yes, they worked very hard. There has been a lot of ups and downs this

:22:27.:22:31.

season, incredible. You could never predict what would happen. I could

:22:32.:22:35.

have a heart attack! It is so involving for that reason. They

:22:36.:22:40.

worked extremely hard, they have given great performances. Sometimes

:22:41.:22:45.

they have done incredible mistakes. We did not expect. And then it turns

:22:46.:22:50.

they have done incredible mistakes. around the next week. That is why

:22:51.:22:52.

this season has been so exciting and unpredictable. Ups and downs all the

:22:53.:22:57.

way, you never knew who would take it. I feel we have in on The Edge of

:22:58.:23:04.

our seats. A roller-coaster of one! Is that the final four you would

:23:05.:23:09.

have predicted? Personally, I have done this for a very long time and I

:23:10.:23:14.

can never do that, it you have two do it a show at a time, anything can

:23:15.:23:16.

happen. -- you have to do it a show at a time, anything can

:23:17.:23:21.

mistake can change everything. You can never give it away. Especially

:23:22.:23:24.

the season. Every can never give it away. Especially

:23:25.:23:31.

important. That is why the public has been so involved as well. You

:23:32.:23:36.

important. That is why the public to happen. Remember that spectacular

:23:37.:23:42.

Jive in the season, from Jay? Incredible. The following week,

:23:43.:23:46.

Jive in the season, from Jay? messed it up. What is going on? It

:23:47.:23:49.

Jive in the season, from Jay? has been like this all the weight

:23:50.:23:52.

which is fantastic, so involving. has been like this all the weight

:23:53.:23:55.

anybody left the competition, we have had 11 eliminations including

:23:56.:24:00.

Anita and Gleb this week. Did any good too soon? Pioli from an

:24:01.:24:10.

entertainment point of view, Jeremy. -- Pioli. He gave us so much

:24:11.:24:15.

pleasure, so funny. A great dancer. Really good dancer. If you end up in

:24:16.:24:22.

the bottom two, it is one of those things you cannot predict again. We

:24:23.:24:26.

can only play with what we are given. I thought she could have made

:24:27.:24:35.

another. Questions from our viewers. Georgie wants to know what is your

:24:36.:24:39.

favourite style of dance to watch the contestants do and judge?

:24:40.:24:46.

Honestly, the reason, there is not a particular style, it is to do with

:24:47.:24:50.

what they put into it. Doing a series of steps, anybody can do so.

:24:51.:24:57.

What is behind it? What gets me excited is the interpretation.

:24:58.:25:01.

Something I have not seen before and that

:25:02.:25:04.

Something I have not seen before and astonishing. The next level. It can

:25:05.:25:11.

happen on a Paso, on a f. It tells me, this is wonderful. -- f. I

:25:12.:25:20.

become part of it and get completely involved. I ends apprised you are

:25:21.:25:26.

not on the floor sometimes. It is getting close! If you have the

:25:27.:25:31.

chance to dance on the show, say Charlotte, who would your

:25:32.:25:34.

professional partner be? Who would you choose? That is a very hard

question. I do not know if I should do it but it would be nice to do and

:25:41.:25:45.

Argentine Tango with two list because that is how it started. They

:25:46.:25:50.

did it originally in Argentina with the girls -- with two men. It has

:25:51.:25:57.

been done only once in a film. Rudolf Norio did it. That would be

:25:58.:26:03.

fantastic -- pulled off new Riyadh. All of them great and to pick one

:26:04.:26:10.

would be, it would not be fair because they all do a fantastic job.

:26:11.:26:15.

Very diplomatic. It has been a series to remember and special

:26:16.:26:20.

spectacular Bruneau moments along the way. Enjoy. Oh, dear! Listen, I

:26:21.:26:26.

am Italian. It has the flavour of the Dolce Vita and the acceleration

:26:27.:26:33.

of a foreign! It needs more passion and aggression, I want it and I am

:26:34.:26:37.

going to get it! He went for the attack! It was a

:26:38.:26:43.

glorious disaster! Op and down and shake it all about!

:26:44.:26:48.

Loins of fire. You have even but Naomi Campbell in. That takes some

:26:49.:26:52.

doing! Do you make yourself laugh seeing

:26:53.:27:00.

that back? I never watch it back. During the series, I have to fly

:27:01.:27:03.

back to the United States. I never watch a show back. I feel that the

:27:04.:27:10.

worst thing as a performer is becomes of conscious. Being aware of

:27:11.:27:15.

what you do. You have to be honest -- becomes self-conscious. What I

:27:16.:27:20.

say, is from the heart. You start looking back at things and you look

:27:21.:27:27.

in a different way and you become, maybe I should stand back, or what

:27:28.:27:33.

have I done? You cannot do that, in a live show comic you have to be

:27:34.:27:37.

100% in the moment. Give everything you have got. If you analyse

:27:38.:27:42.

yourself, EB comes self aware and self-awareness does not work in any

:27:43.:27:45.

kind of performance -- you become. Then you go insane. More than I am

:27:46.:27:52.

already. Is that even possible? On Saturday in the final, the four

:27:53.:27:56.

finalists do their favourite dance, a show dance. And the judges choose

:27:57.:28:02.

the favourite dance, what are you looking for? We have chosen our

:28:03.:28:09.

favourite because it has been a long series and they have done those

:28:10.:28:13.

dances earlier. There has been a process over the following weeks and

:28:14.:28:16.

they have improved and learned so many things I can apply to that

:28:17.:28:21.

stance and see how much they have progressed and improved. It is

:28:22.:28:26.

almost like saying, this is how they started. Look at what they can do

:28:27.:28:31.

now. That is the reason we have chosen those dances. I cannot say

:28:32.:28:35.

what they are, it would spoil the surprise. It is going to be an

:28:36.:28:43.

incredible season. We adore you! Bruno Tonioli! He is wonderful!

:28:44.:28:48.

That's all we have time for tonight, my lovelies.

:28:49.:28:50.

On tomorrow's show we are joined by dance-off survivors

:28:51.:28:52.

Joanne Clifton returns to Choreography Corner to analyse

:28:53.:28:55.

Plus, we reveal what songs our final four couples will be dancing

:28:56.:28:59.

to in their highly-anticipated showdances.
