:00:08. > :00:12.Do you remember that time when I was a cowboy?
:00:13. > :00:22.This holiday season is going to be mild and quite sunny.
:00:23. > :00:30.Stop daydreaming, Zoe, you've got a show to do.
:00:31. > :01:26.Please welcome your host, Zoe Ball. APPLAUSE
:01:27. > :01:31.Hello and welcome to the penultimate It Takes Two.
:01:32. > :01:36.What an astonishing line-up we have for you tonight.
:01:37. > :01:38.Georgia and Giovanni are here to reveal their plans
:01:39. > :01:45.Jay and Aliona will also be showing us what they've got
:01:46. > :01:50.Vicky Gill will be unveiling her costume designs
:01:51. > :02:01.Plus, we're joined by three of the absolute greats,
:02:02. > :02:03.Peter Andre, Carol Kirkwood and Jeremy Vine are back!
:02:04. > :02:15.But first, from the cobbles of Weatherfield and
:02:16. > :02:17.the olives of Sicily, to the dizzying heights
:02:18. > :02:40.Congratulations. You made it to the final, I love that place. So
:02:41. > :02:46.excited. Can you believe it, Georgia? Not at all, the only thing
:02:47. > :02:51.I wanted to do was get to the end, so I did the full experience and
:02:52. > :02:58.I've done it. It's amazing, it doesn't matter who wins. No. You've
:02:59. > :02:59.got to the final. Nice get up by the way, Giovanni. You were poorly last
:03:00. > :03:00.week. You were feeling poorly last week
:03:01. > :03:03.and had limited time to rehearse, but you attacked that dance floor
:03:04. > :03:13.on Saturday night with full force. I've no idea whatsoever. It was so
:03:14. > :03:17.difficult and I knew it wasn't my best dance, I was really nervous. We
:03:18. > :03:22.had be Viennese Waltz, which saved a bit. If you are saying that, it
:03:23. > :03:27.wasn't your best dance, you hadn't had loads of time... Two days.
:03:28. > :03:33.Incredible, what you created. He is a good teacher. He's all right.
:03:34. > :03:36.Congratulations to you, first year on the show and you are in the
:03:37. > :03:42.final. APPLAUSE Thank you. Nice work, my darling.
:03:43. > :03:49.The judges loved your dances, Craig said he could have watched you all
:03:50. > :03:55.night. How does it feel when you get that's praise from the judges? It is
:03:56. > :03:59.tough it means a lot, a lot, a lot. All of the comments were really good
:04:00. > :04:06.from the judges. I am really proud of my partner. The final is fine,
:04:07. > :04:13.but I am really proud of my partner. It is really good. I'm getting...
:04:14. > :04:15.LAUGHTER Showdance this weekend, so exciting.
:04:16. > :04:21.You're dancing to Fix You by Coldplay.
:04:22. > :04:29.I think this could be a bit of a tear-jerker. What can you tell us
:04:30. > :04:33.about what you are doing? Nothing. I've been quite emotional practising
:04:34. > :04:37.their stance. It is so lovely and it has quite a lot of stuff in it which
:04:38. > :04:42.reminds me of my journey -- this dance. It is something different
:04:43. > :04:49.between the normal ballroom or Latin. Something interesting in the
:04:50. > :04:56.beginning, a surprise. I hope so. Fingers crossed. If you make the top
:04:57. > :05:00.three, which dance have you chosen to do again?
:05:01. > :05:09.The Charleston! Which I think is one of the best dancers of the series!
:05:10. > :05:15.Thank you. You owned that dance, can't wait to see it again. I loved
:05:16. > :05:18.it so much, I was waiting to do that dance the entire series, can't wait
:05:19. > :05:23.to do it again, we loved practising it again. You have worked so hard,
:05:24. > :05:27.the two view the series, we have loved every single minute.
:05:28. > :05:30.Let's take a look at why you deserve your place
:05:31. > :05:38.You will be putting your best foot forward with Giovanni!
:05:39. > :05:47.I couldn't be happier! Georgia May Foote! The first dance will be the
:05:48. > :05:55.jive. You are moving faster than lightning
:05:56. > :06:04.around that dance floor, brilliant first dance. The name is Giovanni
:06:05. > :06:10.Pernice. Are you having me on? This week we are dancing the Rumba to the
:06:11. > :06:17.James Bond theme Choon. All that shaking your head gets on my wick, I
:06:18. > :06:23.will tell you the truth. One forward basic and two opening out does not
:06:24. > :06:28.constitute a Rumba in my world. What?! My mum bringing my family to
:06:29. > :06:36.training, bringing the party to the salsa reminds me of how much fun it
:06:37. > :06:40.is. Your shoulder, again? That sound!
:06:41. > :06:44.You are a gorgeous little scrum pits, aren't you?
:06:45. > :06:55.This week we are going to do the tango. I'm not scared of ghosts. I
:06:56. > :07:04.will W the Queen of Halloween! -- I will call you. Sharp, staccato,
:07:05. > :07:11.feisty, incandescent! We were top of the leaderboard! Yes! That's your
:07:12. > :07:19.family! That is my sister, my mother, my God! It is the flavour of
:07:20. > :07:25.lab Dolce Vita and exhilaration of a Ferrari. APPLAUSE
:07:26. > :07:29.This week we will dance the Charleston.
:07:30. > :07:45.Georgia and Giovanni are at the top with a magnificent 39. Are you sure
:07:46. > :07:54.this is the quickest way to Tower ballroom? Yes! Really? Screening Mac
:07:55. > :08:00.ballroom bliss. I will have to call you graceful Georgia, you are
:08:01. > :08:08.gliding through this competition. Ten, from Len. Ten! I am excited
:08:09. > :08:17.about the paso doble. George and Giovanni, hello! -- Georgia. It got
:08:18. > :08:20.too aggressive on occasion. What a dynamic routine!
:08:21. > :08:29.From the top. OK! Foxtrot is difficult, it demanded control and
:08:30. > :08:36.you did that with ease. Absolutely delightful. The couple in the bottom
:08:37. > :08:43.two tonight on a Georgia and Giovanni. The couple I will save is
:08:44. > :08:52.Georgia and Giovanni. Georgia May and Giovanni. It's the semifinal. I
:08:53. > :08:57.was shaken and stirred and ready for action, you sexy little thing. I
:08:58. > :09:03.have to be honest, I could watch you dance all night. Georgia and
:09:04. > :09:11.Giovanni, congratulations, you are through to the grand final. STUDIO:
:09:12. > :09:16.I told you, you might need those. Are you all right? It's fine. Very
:09:17. > :09:24.quickly, which was your favourite? All of them! Lack ball was amazing,
:09:25. > :09:28.wasn't it? So good, start to finish -- blackball. It is unbelievable.
:09:29. > :09:33.The whole experience. I have grown so much and I have learnt so much, I
:09:34. > :09:39.can't thank you enough. You are both incredible. Good luck in the final.
:09:40. > :09:42.We will see you on the show tomorrow. Never leave us.
:09:43. > :09:47.Over the series, she's been the seamless seamstress who never
:09:48. > :09:49.breaks a sweat and always has a cheeky giggle.
:09:50. > :10:11.APPLAUSE Gorgeous girl, how are you? I'm all
:10:12. > :10:12.right. Almost! Not quite there, yet. How
:10:13. > :10:33.has this week been for you? This week we have everybody back.
:10:34. > :10:37.The pressure of the showdance is intense but we are good. We have
:10:38. > :10:43.tissues. There will be tears probably from me. We can't see the
:10:44. > :10:50.dresses, they are still being worked on but you have sketches. Katie
:10:51. > :10:56.dancing to O Fortuna, big song and big number. The costume needs to be
:10:57. > :11:02.strong in colour and the lines and silhouettes. I haven't had sapphire,
:11:03. > :11:07.cobalt blue on Katie yet, that is what we have gone for, powerful. Two
:11:08. > :11:13.Mayers to the dress itself, simple, not lots of underskirt -- two
:11:14. > :11:21.layers. Belief petals running through the dress. Godets! I have
:11:22. > :11:26.been burning them. But the effect should be good. Working to Katie's
:11:27. > :11:29.strengths, shape and silhouettes and hope she feels comfortable and
:11:30. > :11:36.strong on Saturday night. This looks glorious. Kellie. Her and Kevin are
:11:37. > :11:43.doing a Lindy Hop. Lots of leaping about. Have you had to bear that in
:11:44. > :11:47.mind? Yes, but originally she requested gold. I couldn't grant her
:11:48. > :11:51.a complete gold costume because of the colour palette through the show.
:11:52. > :11:54.She said she wanted a flapper dress. Lindy Hop, flapper, not the same
:11:55. > :12:02.thing but you can have what you want. It is the show dance! Both
:12:03. > :12:06.styles, glamorous after last week, she can't go back. She looked
:12:07. > :12:14.stunning, that entire dance and that dress. You are in an amazing dress,
:12:15. > :12:25.you dance even better. Georgia? They are dancing to Fix You. Because it
:12:26. > :12:30.is showdance lyrical in parts and then ballroom hold, mixing lots of
:12:31. > :12:35.different styles. We are trying to keep it soft and delicate, this lace
:12:36. > :12:40.detail ones across the top. Crop shape, attached to this top part of
:12:41. > :12:44.the dress. Connecting it with fringing and strings. The skirt has
:12:45. > :12:51.single panels of pleating, lots of gaps when she moves. Sometimes we
:12:52. > :12:55.will see a lot of her body. In ballroom hold it will feel wrong and
:12:56. > :12:59.elegant, hopefully it will work. Glorious group you have dressed this
:13:00. > :13:08.series, Aliona's, her and Jay are doing a mixture of lots of different
:13:09. > :13:10.dances. I Can't Feel My Face By I Can't The Weeknd. We will build this
:13:11. > :13:19.tomorrow. He has always been relaxed. It
:13:20. > :13:23.reflects the person and he is comfortable, but we need to be
:13:24. > :13:29.careful in the final, it needs to be showtime. If Jay is in a skinny jean
:13:30. > :13:35.and open Shad Khan Aliona can't very well be in something super sparkly.
:13:36. > :13:39.-- jeans and open shirt, Aliona can't. Blonde gold rather than
:13:40. > :13:46.bright gold. Beautiful, that looks great. This is the base, we will see
:13:47. > :13:51.what happens. On behalf of everybody watching you and your guys are
:13:52. > :13:56.incredible. The costumes have been amazing. Have a very long lie down
:13:57. > :13:58.at Christmas. Vicky Gill! Now, the last time she was in
:13:59. > :14:01.a Strictly final with a pop Could it be a case of
:14:02. > :14:32.history repeating itself? Hello! It's the doctor. You are in
:14:33. > :14:36.the final, Jay McGuiness, how do you feel? I feel grateful, optimistic,
:14:37. > :14:44.joyful, nervous and other things like that. How are you feeling,
:14:45. > :14:50.Aliona? I feel good. It is so exciting. Can you believe you have
:14:51. > :14:58.never been in a dance-off? You're the only couple not to have been in
:14:59. > :15:03.a dance-off. How proud are you? I'm extremely proud from day one, and
:15:04. > :15:10.I've always said I enjoy every second of our experience together.
:15:11. > :15:17.This has been my favourite Strictly ever. And he is absolutely my
:15:18. > :15:20.favourite dance partner. Harry Judd will have something to say about
:15:21. > :15:24.that. He won't mind at all, he is backing you, he is! The judges have
:15:25. > :15:28.pleaded with you for more expression. Are you going to go
:15:29. > :15:34.crazy with expression on Saturday night? It's quite funny actually.
:15:35. > :15:39.When we have quite expressive dunces I give every expression I feel I can
:15:40. > :15:42.give. And some of them, I know I go into myself and they don't always
:15:43. > :15:47.love that. Some of them do, sometimes they don't. I'm OK with
:15:48. > :15:53.it. That has been me on Strictly and that is what I've been. When I
:15:54. > :16:00.Showdance I can't feel my face, but I'm OK with that. It is quite funny.
:16:01. > :16:04.It is very, very funny. There was a tiny moment in the Charleston, did
:16:05. > :16:10.you drop her? What was supposed to happen? You say it. It was supposed
:16:11. > :16:15.to happen. There are different ways of doing that move. We just decided
:16:16. > :16:23.to do it that way. It was nice, smooth, on the back. That was one
:16:24. > :16:28.way of doing it. That is one way of doing it! Showdance you are dancing
:16:29. > :16:35.to at the weekend I Can't Feel My Face by The Weeknd. It is right and
:16:36. > :16:39.Match Choice, I love it. What can you tell me about the Showdance
:16:40. > :16:47.without giving too much away? What is the concept. It is lots of
:16:48. > :16:54.different pieces from our dances we have done. As we do it we go through
:16:55. > :16:58.a little memory lane, this is from rumba, this is from foxtrot... Even
:16:59. > :17:04.if people don't love it, which we are ready for, we love it. Every
:17:05. > :17:08.time we do it think it's the perfect end. Like a little round-up of
:17:09. > :17:12.everything. I just chose our favourite moments from our favourite
:17:13. > :17:19.dances. And also I chose each move to make it more intricate. And
:17:20. > :17:23.difficult. And difficult to show how Jay has improved over the course of
:17:24. > :17:28.Strictly. It is like a trip down memory lane for us. As we are
:17:29. > :17:33.dancing it we absolutely love it because we remember all the dances
:17:34. > :17:38.we have done. OK, let's look back down that little trip down memory
:17:39. > :17:43.lane. You might get emotional. We keep crying at these stories. Here
:17:44. > :17:51.is your Strictly storage so far. Jay, your partner is Aliona!
:17:52. > :17:57.She's incredible. The cha-cha is hard. I can't do it. Yes you can. To
:17:58. > :18:01.say I'm nervous is an understatement at this point.
:18:02. > :18:08.You have the potential of being a great hit on the dance floor. The
:18:09. > :18:15.waltz is a very slow, elegant, poised. Not words that have been
:18:16. > :18:21.applied to meet in the past. Ready? Boom. It takes a lot to get me
:18:22. > :18:27.excited, you got me excited. Your thumb was sticking up. Are you
:18:28. > :18:34.feeling more aerodynamic on the dance floor? It has definitely
:18:35. > :18:48.helped with speed. This week you are doing pulp fiction and you are doing
:18:49. > :18:51.a jive. Best dance ever! Ten! The first ten of the series, everybody!
:18:52. > :18:57.This week we are dancing the quickstep. You just crash landed a
:18:58. > :19:02.lot of times. Don't worry about this, I know that you can come back
:19:03. > :19:05.stronger next week. You are the opposite to Samson, you had your
:19:06. > :19:14.haircut and gone from strength to strength. This is the first time Jay
:19:15. > :19:18.and I are doing lifts. There was no stressing, there was no messing. I
:19:19. > :19:24.would like to have seen a bit more character but I loved it. So, today
:19:25. > :19:28.we started learning the Argentine tango. I think this one is
:19:29. > :19:34.particularly challenging. You want to see a little bit of emotion come
:19:35. > :19:39.out through your face. I want to see this fire come out. It's just
:19:40. > :19:44.missing only that. The face goes dead. You've got to do something
:19:45. > :19:50.about that. I really am feeling it, and I do want to show it. It's
:19:51. > :19:56.just... We will see if I can engage the face muscles a bit more.
:19:57. > :20:03.This is incredible. Finally we are seeing some facial
:20:04. > :20:09.expression. You were flirting with Aliona from the beginning. It was a
:20:10. > :20:28.fantastic performance. Training has been so much fun so far. Oh my! I...
:20:29. > :20:34.That was a mango of a tango. A fabulous ten.
:20:35. > :20:39.Ten! You have both brought tears to my
:20:40. > :20:44.eyes. It was fabulous. Tonight, you've convinced me you are
:20:45. > :20:55.a terrific dancer. Ten!
:20:56. > :21:01.From Len, ten! You made Darcey cry! No, she'll be all right. The
:21:02. > :21:18.doctored danced a storm across the universe -- the doctor. We are in
:21:19. > :21:21.the final. Officially stamped. There are watery eyes. Amazing story. We
:21:22. > :21:25.will see how it ends at the weekend and we will see you on the show
:21:26. > :21:31.tomorrow. We love you both, Jay and Aliona! It is going to be such a
:21:32. > :21:36.great final. On tomorrow's show we are joined
:21:37. > :21:38.by Darcey, Len and Bruno. So, if you want to ask a question,
:21:39. > :21:41.send them in using #AskITT. Now, as our finalists
:21:42. > :21:43.prepare, the other stars So, let's join them in a trip
:21:44. > :22:09.down Strictly lane. Look who it is! It is Peter Andre,
:22:10. > :22:13.Carol Kirkwood and Jeremy Vine. It is so lovely to have you all back.
:22:14. > :22:18.Peter, what are you missing most about Strictly? When we all meet up
:22:19. > :22:24.again together that is what we miss the most. Seeing everybody again,
:22:25. > :22:29.seeing all of the crew, even coming back to this studio and hanging out
:22:30. > :22:33.here it is a really nice vibe. Everyone got really, really close
:22:34. > :22:38.this year. Carol, what do you miss most about dancing with Pasha?
:22:39. > :22:42.Everything, I just miss Pasha, he such a sweetheart. As Pete said, it
:22:43. > :22:45.is all of these guys as well and when we are back together it is
:22:46. > :22:49.really nice to see everybody and we cannot wait until tomorrow when we
:22:50. > :22:51.will all be reunited. That will be a magical moment.
:22:52. > :22:59.It has been such an amazing series with so many
:23:00. > :23:08.He's not really large, he's taller. Jeremy, how much fun did you have
:23:09. > :23:16.doing this? Will it stay with you for ever? So much and I have
:23:17. > :23:20.promised to stop dad dancing. I was talking to Jay and Aliona earlier
:23:21. > :23:24.and the privilege of being 15 feet from that jive on the balcony was
:23:25. > :23:28.incredible for all of us. We were supporting each other. And to echo
:23:29. > :23:34.what they have both said, I thought that was unbelievable for me to be
:23:35. > :23:42.able to see that. I really thought that was amazing. What a gent. Was
:23:43. > :23:49.that your favourite dance? More than my dance! We thought we would look
:23:50. > :23:56.at one more moment from this year. You said if you made it to the final
:23:57. > :23:59.you would recreate Peter Andre's Mysterious Girl and here we are in
:24:00. > :24:13.the final week and Peter is here. Here is the music. MUSIC: Mysterious
:24:14. > :24:19.Girl. Look at those amazing abs. He didn't
:24:20. > :24:24.take his shirt off, I'm disappointed. I would have had to do
:24:25. > :24:30.a week's rehearsal to do that. I thought it was fabulous. It was
:24:31. > :24:32.probably a three to be honest. Maybe on Saturday night. You are all
:24:33. > :24:39.dancing together again, you and the whole gang, Anthony, how is it to be
:24:40. > :24:42.back together and rehearsing? Great. I saw the guys yesterday and we were
:24:43. > :24:47.talking. We cannot forget people like Anthony and Euan, Ainsley,
:24:48. > :24:53.Daniel, and all of them yesterday it was great. What have you got in
:24:54. > :25:00.store for us in your Group Dance? Everybody out there on the floor.
:25:01. > :25:04.Carol. A masterpiece. It is a jive, I saw Pasha yesterday and he said we
:25:05. > :25:08.still have the same problem, you still don't know you're left from
:25:09. > :25:12.your right! But it is so much fun and fast and furious. Has everyone
:25:13. > :25:17.been good in training, or is anyone being naughty? Was great hooking up
:25:18. > :25:22.with Carol again. I'm losing my voice. As soon as the music started
:25:23. > :25:29.they gave us some moves and I ran onto the stage. He said that is not
:25:30. > :25:32.the danced and don't do that again! I have missed your impressions. Have
:25:33. > :25:37.you done any dancing since you finished? Have you been at a wedding
:25:38. > :25:41.or anything? I haven't but we are ready to clear the floor if it
:25:42. > :25:45.happens. I have said to my wife I would like to get this simple box
:25:46. > :25:52.step together. Everyone says, are you going to keep dancing? I said,
:25:53. > :25:55.I'm not aware I had started! Brilliant. Let's talk about the
:25:56. > :26:00.final and the finalists. Haven't they done brilliantly? You can see
:26:01. > :26:04.them getting emotional looking back at those incredible stories and
:26:05. > :26:10.we're going to get to see their Showdances. They deserve to be
:26:11. > :26:13.there. What is amazing, when you start seeing back and they start
:26:14. > :26:16.seeing that their performances you realise what a journey it has been.
:26:17. > :26:19.For all of us it has been an incredible journey. For them they
:26:20. > :26:24.have had this extra time and it must be overwhelming for them. I think it
:26:25. > :26:29.is and there will be tears and I've been crying already. Carol, one last
:26:30. > :26:33.time, could you give us a little weather forecast, because we love
:26:34. > :26:38.them so, for Christmas. It is going to be wet at times, it will be
:26:39. > :26:41.unseasonably mild as well, although there might be a dip in the
:26:42. > :26:44.temperature in northern Scotland. If there is it will be transient and
:26:45. > :26:48.there will be rain at times, and if you want to see snow you will have
:26:49. > :26:52.to be a reindeer on the top of the Grampians.
:26:53. > :26:59.Carol, thank you. Peter and Jeremy. I've got to say something. Will
:27:00. > :27:02.there be rain, dear? CHEERING
:27:03. > :27:06.It may be a fun return to the ballroom for these three
:27:07. > :27:09.on Saturday, but for our finalists the pressure is well and truly on.
:27:10. > :27:19.I love you. Our Showdance is a Lindy hop. I'm
:27:20. > :27:23.exhausted watching you do it! It is a really full en route team and I'm
:27:24. > :27:27.really pushing her. It's the opposite of everything that I've
:27:28. > :27:32.been taught. Its wide, it's ugly, its flat-footed. It's still got to
:27:33. > :27:39.look clean and precise, so that's the big challenge. It is our most
:27:40. > :27:48.excellent sting routine yet. If we pull this off it will be amazing.
:27:49. > :27:52.If! Here we are. The Showdance is going to be just huge, very
:27:53. > :27:55.dramatic. I think it's going to be unforgettable.
:27:56. > :28:01.dramatic. I think it's going to be a big one, it is a tango -based
:28:02. > :28:06.aunts. It's got a lot in it. Limey. There is a lot of steps and they are
:28:07. > :28:12.all quite fast. Three, four, five, six. -- blimey. Could be good. It is
:28:13. > :28:14.fantastic to be in the final and to have the smallest chance of winning
:28:15. > :28:16.the trophy is just amazing. As it's nearly Christmas,
:28:17. > :28:18.what better way to get us MUSIC: All I Want For Christmas
:28:19. > :28:36.- Mariah Carey. While they're all getting
:28:37. > :28:39.into the swing of things, let me tell you what we have
:28:40. > :28:41.in store tomorrow. First and foremost,
:28:42. > :28:43.it's our very last show. Fear not, we are going
