:00:09. > :00:35.Right ? as we know it's Lesley's birthday today.
:00:36. > :02:10.Kevin! Put Petty down, bless her! Kevin and Betty for next year's
:02:11. > :02:12.Strictly. It's Friday Night and I can
:02:13. > :02:21.confirm we are only 24 hours away from the next
:02:22. > :02:23.live Strictly show! A week between shows is far
:02:24. > :02:27.too long - am I right?! So, sit back, relax and melt
:02:28. > :02:31.into the weekend because Now, this show might be
:02:32. > :02:35.called It Takes Two, but we can't be in two
:02:36. > :02:37.places at once! Luckily, we've got a man
:02:38. > :02:41.on the ground or should that be Yes, our Welsh rare-bit
:02:42. > :02:59.of all right, Gethin Jones, spent Hello from the Strictly ballroom
:03:00. > :03:04.where rehearsals are underway. At the moment it is aired and Katya
:03:05. > :03:15.doing their paso doble. Let's see how Ed is getting on with his cape.
:03:16. > :03:21.He is definitely taking it seriously. He is so big on attention
:03:22. > :03:25.to detail. He chats to the floor manager, he wants the set to be
:03:26. > :03:30.perfect and now he has got his Passover face on. I will be chatting
:03:31. > :03:31.to some others to see how they are feeling ahead of tomorrow night's
:03:32. > :03:37.show. -- his paso face on. There'll be more exclusives
:03:38. > :03:39.from Gethin later on. Time now to welcome
:03:40. > :03:41.our first couple. They quickstepped into the judges'
:03:42. > :03:54.hearts last weekend and we think I love all the role-playing. I love
:03:55. > :04:03.all the quirky character you put in. It was wonderful. It was erected,
:04:04. > :04:08.fabulously cheeky, plenty of dance content all the way through. You
:04:09. > :04:26.were a golden oldie from the silver screen and I thought you were great!
:04:27. > :04:31.# happy birthday, happy birthday! Hello, you gorgeous ones. It is a
:04:32. > :04:36.delight to see you in your gladrags. I'm glad your tooth has grown back.
:04:37. > :04:43.There were some children who said why has Lesley lost out to the? The
:04:44. > :04:48.make up is so clever. How did it feel to recreate that wonderful Fred
:04:49. > :04:53.and Judy moment? It is the first time I have seen it. It was
:04:54. > :04:58.absolutely glorious. It is an iconic number. You were thrilled, won't
:04:59. > :05:04.you? You were busy looking at yourself. Stop talking, played
:05:05. > :05:10.again! The judges could not get over the speed in which you cover the
:05:11. > :05:15.floor, Lesley. Where'd you get this energy from? We thought we did not
:05:16. > :05:20.have a big enough floor. We wanted a slightly big enough law to slide
:05:21. > :05:27.across. What can I say? My mother played tennis at 96. It is in the
:05:28. > :05:34.genes. Anton, Len was so pleased with the fishtail. I am not sure
:05:35. > :05:40.what a fishtail is. Could you demonstrate?
:05:41. > :06:29.It's a fabulous old step. The first step is on the slow. Forward on the
:06:30. > :06:38.right foot here like this. From there, we do a couple of lock steps,
:06:39. > :06:52.check, two, The costume and make up, they did
:06:53. > :06:56.such a brilliant job. It is one of my favourite numbers from all of the
:06:57. > :07:00.series. Every week I think this is my favourite dance, now that is my
:07:01. > :07:09.favourite dance and this week we have the charleston. It is such fun
:07:10. > :07:15.to learn all these different dances. And your gorgeous friends Linda and
:07:16. > :07:20.Pauline were there. They get so emotional and I get so emotional
:07:21. > :07:24.knowing they are there. They have been glorious. Literally, every day
:07:25. > :07:29.all we discuss is Strictly Come Dancing. We have just been in Malta
:07:30. > :07:35.filming the Christmas National for Birds Of A Feather. He had to come
:07:36. > :07:42.out. You had to go to Malta, what a nightmare! I imagine you capturing
:07:43. > :07:48.some raise in your budgie smugglers! Will he make a cameo appearance? He
:07:49. > :07:58.might find a swimming pool. He will be cut out! The cutting room floor!
:07:59. > :08:04.So it is the charleston for you two tomorrow. Have you had any time to
:08:05. > :08:09.do any training? We have. We had a wonderful dance studio out there.
:08:10. > :08:14.People are complaining that I am always training in the same trousers
:08:15. > :08:19.but I do wash them at night. We have managed to get on top of it. Let me
:08:20. > :08:24.just say this very quickly about Lesley. She is incredible to work
:08:25. > :08:27.with. She is up at five o'clock filming Birds in the morning and we
:08:28. > :08:33.are still training at eight o'clock in the evening. It is 1415 hour days
:08:34. > :08:37.and then she is up at five o'clock the next day. She has incredible
:08:38. > :08:45.enthusiasm and energy and she is wonderful to work with, such good
:08:46. > :08:52.fun. Luckily it is your birthday! It is a joy. She is a joy and
:08:53. > :09:00.wonderful! I have to instruct this broadcast for a very important
:09:01. > :09:09.message. Lesley, happy 71st birthday today. We love you very much. We
:09:10. > :09:15.know you will do well. Week -- we know you will do well. Could not be
:09:16. > :09:20.a proper birthday without a sweet treat. We could not get Paul and
:09:21. > :09:38.Mary. Lesley, what more could you want? Blow out the candles, Lesley!
:09:39. > :09:43.It is all about Anton! We wish you a huge happy birthday, have a
:09:44. > :09:50.wonderful night celebrating. Don't cut through my face, cut through the
:09:51. > :09:58.edges! Happy birthday! Anton and that balloon! While we tuck into the
:09:59. > :10:05.cake, it is important to remember that plenty of calories are learned
:10:06. > :10:11.in the training. The charleston is a fast dance. It
:10:12. > :10:15.requires a lot of stamina and precise arm and leg movements. I
:10:16. > :10:24.have to coordinate both ends of my body which sounds easier than it is,
:10:25. > :10:34.trust me. One and two. No. It is very, very fast but I love it.
:10:35. > :10:40.Jive is one of my favourite dances, but I have quickly realised that
:10:41. > :10:46.this is not for the faint-hearted. I am going to lose three stone this
:10:47. > :10:51.week. You are going to need a lot of stamina to do this jive. It is 90
:10:52. > :10:58.seconds of full on energy. The more you suffer, the bigger the smile. It
:10:59. > :11:05.is mad, it is crazy but it is brilliant. When it all comes
:11:06. > :11:06.together, it will look so good! Looking pretty good. Now it is time
:11:07. > :11:16.to get some bums on seats. Strictly super-fans,
:11:17. > :11:36.Jodie Prenger, Jeremy Hello, my darlings! Welcome, ladies.
:11:37. > :11:40.Jeremy, welcome back! You are now the most qualified person on that
:11:41. > :11:46.sofa to comment, having gone through this process. How is it to watch the
:11:47. > :11:51.show without you win it? I must say I was all set to support Will and
:11:52. > :11:58.Karen so I am feeling the pain of that. My kids back home are big
:11:59. > :12:05.Karen fans will stop Karen, we love you! She is coming on the show next
:12:06. > :12:10.week. When the probe goes out like that, it is very hard. But I am
:12:11. > :12:14.amazed that the standard of dancing. I find it terrifying! It is
:12:15. > :12:22.ridiculous. Marian, what have you been up to since we last saw you? I
:12:23. > :12:28.have a book out. It is not a novel, it is a collection of humorous
:12:29. > :12:36.anecdotes and articles. It is called Making it up as I go along. Shall I
:12:37. > :12:50.send you one? And Jodie, welcome back, looking gorgeous in perfect
:12:51. > :12:55.velvet! Ribena, Ribena, Ribena! Other blackcurrant drinks are
:12:56. > :13:00.available. What you think? The talent is really strong this year.
:13:01. > :13:05.Really enjoying it. We are going to start with Laura and Giovanni. They
:13:06. > :13:10.found themselves in the bottom two but they survived. They are doing a
:13:11. > :13:17.quick step this week to Ballroom Blitz by sweet. Are you supporting
:13:18. > :13:22.your fellow Irish lass? Of course, it is the Irish Mafia! It does help
:13:23. > :13:28.that she is a brilliant dancer and really amazing and this looks really
:13:29. > :13:36.good. Headrest looks quite modern as well. Will they come out guns
:13:37. > :13:43.blazing do you think? I think so because it is really quick on the
:13:44. > :13:49.feet. She is a great dancer. And she is a bonny girl. When you have been
:13:50. > :13:56.in the dance-off panic sets in. That is the problem. You know you are
:13:57. > :14:03.hanging by a thread. Does it affect your confidence? It really does. We
:14:04. > :14:09.are going to talk about nag and passion now. It is no secret,
:14:10. > :14:18.Marian, you are partial's biggest fan? -- Naga and Pasha. He is
:14:19. > :14:23.marvellous. I am a bit cross with Naga. She is dancing with the most
:14:24. > :14:27.beautiful man on earth and every day she is looking at his little face
:14:28. > :14:35.and she is living the dream, she is living my dream! So be happy, Naga!
:14:36. > :14:47.You want her to be happy. They will be dancing the tango. Is she looking
:14:48. > :14:53.happy enough for you, Marian? Yes! Is that all right? Jeremy, what you
:14:54. > :14:58.thinking? I think the charleston is the hardest dance of the lot and it
:14:59. > :15:03.takes more than a week to learn. She looks really good there. She did a
:15:04. > :15:06.thing on breakfast News this morning where she introduced Nicola
:15:07. > :15:11.Sturgeon, did you see it and a picture of a gorilla came up
:15:12. > :15:19.instead! She did this most beautiful Naga smile and that is what we want
:15:20. > :15:26.to see. To see the joy. If someone holds a photo of a gorilla up. Or
:15:27. > :15:35.Nicola Sturgeon. She did not look that happy. Eyes and teeth.
:15:36. > :15:55.This can be an infamously famous dance. I think you were saying you
:15:56. > :16:21.weren't keen. It's my worst dance. It brings me out in a full body
:16:22. > :16:59.sweat. The song is lovely and I think she's great. The rumba is
:17:00. > :17:09.This song is fabulous. Joanne Clifton is a brilliant teacher. She
:17:10. > :17:17.is very good at working out what you need. Great choreography. Onto
:17:18. > :17:24.Claudia and AJ. Onto the foxtrot. Did you love it last week? Yes! Glad
:17:25. > :17:31.to hear it. Here they are in training. A potential ten pattern
:17:32. > :17:37.here? It is slower than I expected but I never did a foxtrot. She did
:17:38. > :17:42.an amazing move in the charleston, she'd jump vertically and then went
:17:43. > :17:51.backwards. I have never seen that before. I get out of bed like that!
:17:52. > :18:01.I just met AJ. He is a sweet, sweet guy. He is only 21, amazing. They
:18:02. > :18:08.are getting stronger every week? These are the weeks when they really
:18:09. > :18:12.start to come out of their shells. The dance-off is so unpredictable
:18:13. > :18:20.now. Any one of the people we have seen could end up with a red light.
:18:21. > :18:26.One of your favourites, Jeremy, Ed now. He and Katya have been doing a
:18:27. > :18:30.paso doble. You have been showing a lots of support? I am big into Ed
:18:31. > :18:38.Balls! LAUGHTER
:18:39. > :18:43.I said learn the charleston early and then the judges watch your feet
:18:44. > :18:51.but the audience watch your face. His first dance, the waltz, I said,
:18:52. > :18:58.get out of the suit, Ed, because he did not look comfortable. And that
:18:59. > :19:04.charleston, it was unbelievable. So paso, is this good? He is so into
:19:05. > :19:10.it. I have never met her but she is clearly an amazing teacher. She is
:19:11. > :19:14.really enjoying the experience as a first-time Strictly person as well.
:19:15. > :19:22.I am going to make a prediction here, they will get to the final! We
:19:23. > :19:25.will talk about the rest of our couples later on. Thank you our
:19:26. > :19:46.Friday panel! The competition is heating up on the
:19:47. > :19:51.floor. Have you ever wanted to experience the glamour of the
:19:52. > :19:55.Strictly ballroom first hand? We have the opportunity for you to win
:19:56. > :20:03.two tickets for the Strictly Grand Final. You have to answer the
:20:04. > :20:10.following question correctly. In week three last year, Jay and Aliona
:20:11. > :20:14.performed a pulp fiction jive but what was the score they receive from
:20:15. > :20:36.the judges? Good luck and remember... Keep
:20:37. > :20:44.dancing! The voice of the balls, Alan Dedicoat.
:20:45. > :20:54.Now our next guest transformed her living room for Flashdance. It is
:20:55. > :20:59.safe to say she got the part. It is Kevin and Louise. I loved it. Every
:21:00. > :21:06.time you are given a style you make the most of it and I loved this. You
:21:07. > :21:25.passed the audition and you were great! # Shiny happy people...
:21:26. > :21:33.Kevin said you should end up on the safer in that position. He did it
:21:34. > :21:40.for you. And happy birthday for yesterday, Kevin! We have got you a
:21:41. > :21:43.cake with Anton's face on it! How did you celebrate yesterday?
:21:44. > :21:48.Actually, Louise and Jamie took me out for dinner and also Frankie who
:21:49. > :21:55.I danced with two years ago. And also Karen and a couple of my mates.
:21:56. > :22:02.What presence did you get? I got a shirt from Louise and some boots
:22:03. > :22:10.from Karen. What did Joe get you? The new Fifa game. OK, other games
:22:11. > :22:16.are available. Let's cast your mind back, how was Flashdance? It was
:22:17. > :22:23.great. For me it was a bit of a childhood dream. The cha-cha was
:22:24. > :22:33.hard. I have loved that film since I was about 12. You looked incredible
:22:34. > :22:43.in that outfit. Were you happy with the judges' comments and scores? The
:22:44. > :22:50.seven came out and she turned around and said, I am really sorry. That is
:22:51. > :23:00.because she is so lovely. But I loved it. She did an amazing job.
:23:01. > :23:06.She looked amazing. You are a brilliant couple to watch. I don't
:23:07. > :23:14.know if Darcey was talking about the curly perm or the steps! I think it
:23:15. > :23:19.suits me more than the cha-cha. You have got to bend your legs to dance.
:23:20. > :23:23.You are not allowed to bend them, you have to keep them straight and
:23:24. > :23:27.keeping time. When you are in the training room you think I know what
:23:28. > :23:32.I have to do, I have got this but when you go out there it goes pear
:23:33. > :23:36.shaped. Kevin said I just want you to enjoy this, this week is just
:23:37. > :23:47.about giving it all you can and do your best. The first foxtrot is of
:23:48. > :23:56.the series, what is the most important thing and what are we
:23:57. > :24:00.looking for? A nice shape out of the side, strengthen the feet and all
:24:01. > :24:05.the technique has to be in place while looking like it is really
:24:06. > :24:11.easy. Apart from that, just enjoy yourself! He is very good on
:24:12. > :24:14.technique and detail, what do you think has been the most important
:24:15. > :24:24.thing he has told you about the foxtrot? The heel. Go with the heel
:24:25. > :24:30.and slide the leg back from the toe. And not step on his foot! Our little
:24:31. > :24:52.spies did catch this moment this week. Have a look.
:24:53. > :25:04.That looked really painful! Those ballroom shoes, the heels are
:25:05. > :25:10.vicious. I couldn't stop doing it! The more he told me what not to do,
:25:11. > :25:16.I was doing it more! Maybe some padding in your shoes. Last week you
:25:17. > :25:22.were re-dancing welder from Flashdance. What character do you
:25:23. > :25:28.have to be for a foxtrot? This week it is likely 60s inspired. It is a
:25:29. > :25:35.nod to the 60s rather than actual character but I am changing my
:25:36. > :25:47.apparently long-term husband into the perfect man. Jamie is on the
:25:48. > :25:56.phone! I have a remote control. A transformation. Good luck tomorrow,
:25:57. > :26:05.Louise and Kevin! Time now to head over to getting Jones at Elstree.
:26:06. > :26:11.I have found some princesses of the ballroom. Anastacia and Daisy will
:26:12. > :26:18.also be the rumba Queens tomorrow. Princesses to Queens in a matter of
:26:19. > :26:27.15 seconds. Thank you! Have you been comparing notes? More panic notes.
:26:28. > :26:30.There has been some panic. The rumba is so romantic and smooth it has
:26:31. > :26:36.forced me to do the complete opposite, be really jumpy and
:26:37. > :26:42.nervous. Every step is seen and it freaks us out because if it was fast
:26:43. > :26:47.we would get through the one step that was not great to give you a
:26:48. > :26:55.step which was awesome. And to add to the pressure, some might say it
:26:56. > :27:03.is harder for the ladies because you have to finish. They are the ones
:27:04. > :27:06.who are displaying. And I have always loved watching the rumba, it
:27:07. > :27:15.is such a beautiful expression of dance. It is so special. I watch it
:27:16. > :27:22.and I think, how odd a sing together? You say that every week
:27:23. > :27:27.and you still pull it off. You have come straight from wardrobe. How was
:27:28. > :27:33.the outfit? I very much care for the outfit. We appreciate the sparkles.
:27:34. > :27:41.No Mary Poppins for you for the rumba? No Mary Poppins! Nope nuns. I
:27:42. > :27:49.have not seen mine yet but I have heard it is floaty. They do not want
:27:50. > :27:54.me to look too sexy. I have a feeling her dance is completely
:27:55. > :28:00.sexy. She will give it all to you. What are you like 24 hours before
:28:01. > :28:06.the actual night? Do the nerves kicking or IU quite calm? I am a
:28:07. > :28:11.nervous wreck! You are a nervous wreck before the dance-off? The
:28:12. > :28:18.lights make you very sweaty. I am just a nervous wreck. Aljaz gave me
:28:19. > :28:23.a talk yesterday and he said we would be where we are now without
:28:24. > :28:27.your panic all week so maybe I don't need to panic. This is the most
:28:28. > :28:31.amazing experience of my whole life and I am loving it but I love it so
:28:32. > :28:39.much I just don't want to mess it up. What about you? You are used to
:28:40. > :28:45.this? No, this is so out of my comfort zone. I keep grounded most
:28:46. > :28:49.of the time. I have had a lot of things in my life that are far worse
:28:50. > :28:53.than dancing in the show so I look at the positive of possibly getting
:28:54. > :28:56.through and enjoying the dance instead of concentrating on the fear
:28:57. > :29:03.because I have learned to block fear out of it. Embrace the good. The
:29:04. > :29:12.rumba tomorrow night, shall I give you some tips? You dipped a bit like
:29:13. > :29:21.this. If you could comment on this. It is a lot of hands going on. There
:29:22. > :29:30.are too many heels. You have to do to to heels. We call it at to lead.
:29:31. > :29:34.Our next guest has a reputation for stealing from the rich and giving to
:29:35. > :29:42.the poor but the judges were happy to turn a blind eye to that
:29:43. > :29:50.behaviour. It is Greg and Natalie. Your storytelling was absolutely
:29:51. > :29:57.gorgeous. The connection between you two tonight was absolutely wonderful
:29:58. > :30:18.to watch. Greg, it was bull's-eye, well done!
:30:19. > :30:27.You have been through so much. Last weekend it was a box office smash.
:30:28. > :30:31.So good. How much did you enjoy the story you told out on the floor?
:30:32. > :30:38.Loved it. It was our favourite dance. So many things we had been
:30:39. > :30:42.working on, the lifts in particular finally came together. I kept
:30:43. > :30:46.finishing them in the wrong position so I would be facing the wrong way
:30:47. > :30:54.but on this one it all came together. It is funny how it
:30:55. > :31:01.happens. It often happens. For you to be leading me round the floor on
:31:02. > :31:09.week three is unbelievable. She is so happy! I am so happy. The judges
:31:10. > :31:25.are so full of praise for you two. All ats. I still think I am a bit of
:31:26. > :31:32.a wally doing this. No way! Sub when we got a good response it was nice.
:31:33. > :31:37.You have to believe in yourself. Doing what you are doing is amazing.
:31:38. > :31:41.For someone who has never danced before, you are doing everything to
:31:42. > :31:53.shine and on a Saturday night you always do your best performance and
:31:54. > :32:00.that is all I can ask for. Darcey and Len said they could not see your
:32:01. > :32:04.bottom. Was it a conscious decision? We have been working on it. We have
:32:05. > :32:10.been working on the position which is rarely alien to me. It is
:32:11. > :32:14.shifting all your weight forwards. To feel like your headway is going
:32:15. > :32:18.backwards instead of forwards is a foreign feeling. We are working on
:32:19. > :32:26.it and it is definitely getting better. A lot of the viewers and
:32:27. > :32:31.judges were so great chemistry between you two. How important is
:32:32. > :32:37.that? I think it is everything, dancing is about storytelling, the
:32:38. > :32:41.partnership and the music. If that is believable then you get good
:32:42. > :32:45.scores. We kind of knew each other before the show and we hit it off
:32:46. > :32:53.straightaway so it is really important to keep that going. We
:32:54. > :32:59.have so much fun in rehearsals. This week, salsa to Olly Murs but that
:33:00. > :33:08.has been a bit of an injury, tell us more. I don't want to harp on about
:33:09. > :33:17.these but this week it went very wrong. Annoyingly, while performing
:33:18. > :33:25.one of the lifts I managed to test something in my wrist. That was not
:33:26. > :33:30.fun. We went for a scam. There was fluid pouring out of the area. I had
:33:31. > :33:38.hydrocortisone injection in it to deal with that. I feel like it is my
:33:39. > :33:43.fault because we were doing the most epic lifts that anyone has ever seen
:33:44. > :33:53.in a South because I have got someone I can do it with and you are
:33:54. > :33:59.strong and amazing -- salsa. We had three epic lifts and I really pushed
:34:00. > :34:08.you this week and an injury has happened. I feel gutted. Can you do
:34:09. > :34:13.a lift now? We have removed it and there was one that we nailed so well
:34:14. > :34:18.and it was so epic. I was so excited by it as well. I am not the greatest
:34:19. > :34:22.dancer in the world that I am probably strong enough to do the
:34:23. > :34:28.things that are quite cool. We have now had to chop them entirely, but
:34:29. > :34:34.the final image you see of this dance I am hoping... Fingers
:34:35. > :34:44.crossed! If your hand is OK we might be able to. Rest it, don't do
:34:45. > :34:45.anything dangerous. Good luck, tomorrow, the gorgeous Greg and
:34:46. > :34:49.latterly! Now, Gethin was once again let loose
:34:50. > :35:00.in Elstree's corridors earlier, Backstage at Strictly towers, there
:35:01. > :35:09.are clothes everywhere. What do you reckon? It is good, isn't it! This
:35:10. > :35:17.is the quick-change area. It is very busy on a Friday getting the
:35:18. > :35:24.costumes ready. How was it going, or a? You are half dressed. Is not
:35:25. > :35:32.complete? I am just going out for a Friday night! What are you doing in
:35:33. > :35:37.here? The girls get changed here as well stop I like the fact he is
:35:38. > :35:43.wearing his khaki pants with a glitzy number. I know you love your
:35:44. > :35:58.fashion, talk me through this outfit. Your toes get so sore. They
:35:59. > :36:06.get cut up. Your whole body is struggling? I bruise easily but I
:36:07. > :36:11.heal easily. And also my mum came over with a supplement of iron
:36:12. > :36:23.tablets and magnesium. I just needed my mother. What is it like preparing
:36:24. > :36:31.for a live show? It is so scary stop I cannot talk. Normally I would do
:36:32. > :36:35.your job. Good luck for tomorrow. I love the outfit.
:36:36. > :36:39.Now, our final couple of the night rocketed to the top of the leader
:36:40. > :36:42.board with their cheeky Charleston last weekend -
:36:43. > :36:48.in fact, they made it look easy as pie.
:36:49. > :37:04.That was absolutely brilliant. It was made for you. Absolutely
:37:05. > :37:08.outstanding! It was an amazing dance and you act beautifully. You really
:37:09. > :37:23.are a double threat, my darling! I love it. Hello, you gorgeous two!
:37:24. > :37:29.Lovely to see you. I cannot stop watching your charleston. It was
:37:30. > :37:34.epic. I absolutely loved it. Just being there and soaking up the
:37:35. > :37:41.atmosphere was incredible. I was smiling, I was so happy. How many
:37:42. > :37:47.times have you watched it back? I only watch my performances once. I
:37:48. > :37:57.watch it a million times. I was so happy. Well done. A whopping four
:37:58. > :38:04.nines from the judges. You are joint top of the Leader Board. How does it
:38:05. > :38:10.feel? Absolutely incredible! And to get a nine from Craig I was amazed
:38:11. > :38:15.because before he gave us a sixth. A bit of an increase so we were just
:38:16. > :38:26.ecstatic! He was screaming the whole time! Calm down! Craig was rendered
:38:27. > :38:32.almost speechless. He said you were technically brilliant. You could not
:38:33. > :38:37.have done it any better? I just went out there ended my best. I loved it.
:38:38. > :38:48.What was the trickiest of the tricks? For her to trust me. She
:38:49. > :38:54.does her flips on her own but to trust me is a complete different
:38:55. > :38:56.thing. I never dropped her. Some controlled lowers with some heart
:38:57. > :39:05.attacks. That was the way this thing. For her to trust me and for
:39:06. > :39:11.me not to drop her. Is the trust growing? A little bit. There was a
:39:12. > :39:17.little pause there! Bruno said you were the double threat. He is loving
:39:18. > :39:25.all the acting. Did you realise you were such an actress? Not at all. AJ
:39:26. > :39:30.said before happy face, happy face. He kept drilling it into me. Dancing
:39:31. > :39:34.was one thing, we have worked on the acting, especially for tomorrow.
:39:35. > :39:44.First we have to talk about this little moment. Look at your face!
:39:45. > :39:54.Did you nearly part I Len Goodman in the face? Yes! I said to AJ
:39:55. > :39:59.beforehand, make sure you go on the top step and pie him in the face. It
:40:00. > :40:04.went all over the judges and I thought they would under Mark me.
:40:05. > :40:10.And I knocked all the props over. Youthful on knocked me -- youthful
:40:11. > :40:19.on knocked me. I was all over the place! We could see Len cleaning up
:40:20. > :40:25.the desk. The foxtrot, how has the training on this week? Not too bad.
:40:26. > :40:38.I am finding it harder than the charleston. It is the footwork. It
:40:39. > :40:42.is lots of heel turns. It is complicated choreography. I don't
:40:43. > :40:47.want to make it simple. Simple is boring so go full out and make it
:40:48. > :40:53.good. She does work well under pressure. That is being a
:40:54. > :41:00.competitor, surely? What has been the toughest thing with the foxtrot?
:41:01. > :41:05.I would say the footwork. Because I don't know what I am doing yet, he
:41:06. > :41:17.has literally dragged me across the floor. Then I fall over. Good luck,
:41:18. > :41:20.you are so brilliant the two of you. Claudia and AJ!
:41:21. > :41:24.Now, we want you lot at home to get involved in the making of the show.
:41:25. > :41:27.If you've got a question for our pro dancers,
:41:28. > :41:32.All you have to do is video yourself asking the question and send it
:41:33. > :41:44.So get filming - in portrait - so your video fits
:41:45. > :41:54.You can tag us on Twitter using #ItTakesTwo or send them
:41:55. > :42:03.Time for another training update now.
:42:04. > :42:14.Here's Laura and Giovanni and Lesley and Anton in action.
:42:15. > :42:25.In my head, a quick step is a darts with steps that are really quick! It
:42:26. > :42:30.will be quick, quick, quick step. There are lots of things to think
:42:31. > :42:39.about. I don't know why you are doing this. My head wants to do
:42:40. > :42:48.this! Shoulder, look where you are going. I feel it is a work-out this
:42:49. > :43:05.week. The charleston is going fine. It is very exhausting. What are
:43:06. > :43:07.they? I am loving the charleston. I cannot wait to charleston my way
:43:08. > :43:10.through the show. Getting there. Time to welcome back
:43:11. > :43:15.my Friday Panel! First up are Greg and Natalie who
:43:16. > :43:29.are doing the salsa this weekend. Greg has an injury in his wrist
:43:30. > :43:38.which is such a shame. Can they make a salsa work without the lists? They
:43:39. > :43:44.are dancing to Olly Murs. As long limbed man, you impressed, Jeremy? I
:43:45. > :43:51.have just been talking to him. I said you are doing so well. I knew
:43:52. > :43:56.he had not done any dancing before and just the power of the first
:43:57. > :44:02.routine. He has a great partner, Natalie, who is such a brilliant
:44:03. > :44:11.Strictly personality and veteran. But looked great to me. Marian, do
:44:12. > :44:16.you think he will be all right? Is a grower. He was wonderful the first
:44:17. > :44:26.week, not so good the second week and quite good the third week. But
:44:27. > :44:34.what about his hand? Lifting Natalie will be a big part of what they do?
:44:35. > :44:38.Maybe injections. Or save it to the last one. It is the point where you
:44:39. > :44:49.do need to do things like that to save yourself and make sure you get
:44:50. > :44:57.through to the next week. Now Daisy and Aljaz and the rumba? This is so
:44:58. > :45:04.steamy and amazing. She is a blood test. My husband is a little bit too
:45:05. > :45:07.fond of her. That is all right because I have Mike Pasha will stop
:45:08. > :45:14.they are a really lovely partnership and I love the song. Jeremy, you
:45:15. > :45:21.never got to do a rumba, is that a blessing or a curse? She is
:45:22. > :45:30.reminding me of Helen George from last year. She was dancing a waltz
:45:31. > :45:32.and Karen Carol Kirkwood and I won the balcony and we said, we are in
:45:33. > :45:37.trouble now. Judge Rinder and Oksana are dancing
:45:38. > :45:49.the Viennese Waltz tomorrow. I love the way you all start smiling
:45:50. > :45:59.when you hear his name. I just love him! And his hands. Why hasn't he
:46:00. > :46:05.been doing this for years? Why doesn't he do a dance before his
:46:06. > :46:14.programme starts? He is dancing with his mouth as well. I know it is
:46:15. > :46:16.annoying Craig but don't stop! Will he hold it back for the Viennese
:46:17. > :46:21.waltz? Please don't! Moving onto Louise and Kevin
:46:22. > :46:23.who are dancing the foxtrot. From an angelic Viennese waltz
:46:24. > :46:26.in week two to the wild haired cha cha cha last Saturday ? what
:46:27. > :46:40.style do you think I think her confidence is going she
:46:41. > :46:44.came in quite nervous and you can even see it in the evolution of what
:46:45. > :46:49.she is wearing. She was all quite Victorian lady in the beginning and
:46:50. > :46:53.now she is therein leotards and thigh boots, it is brilliant. What
:46:54. > :46:54.an amazing outfit that was last week.
:46:55. > :47:00.Consistently good marks each week ? can they maintain that standard?
:47:01. > :47:10.I hope so because she is a beautiful dancer. That was my leotard she was
:47:11. > :47:17.wearing last week! Has she washed it? She stretched it a bit! She's so
:47:18. > :47:19.beautiful and she dances gorgeous. Next up it's Lesley and Anton who
:47:20. > :47:33.are dancing the Charleston. Her energy is just something else?
:47:34. > :47:41.Marian, what are you thinking? I love her with all my heart. She is
:47:42. > :47:50.fearless and confident. She is wonderful. In her head she is 19 and
:47:51. > :47:57.she dances like it. Just amazing. Jeremy, what do you think? I am
:47:58. > :48:02.really inspired. We were celebrating her 71st birthday. It is so
:48:03. > :48:07.inspiring for everyone watching TV. We come back to the thing that
:48:08. > :48:12.everybody should be staying in that somebody is going to go and I will
:48:13. > :48:19.be crushed if it is her. And the heavy workload she has an in the
:48:20. > :48:33.vibrant energy, she is brilliant. And she has got Anton as well, not a
:48:34. > :48:37.disadvantage! Danny and Oti are joint top of the Leader Board. They
:48:38. > :48:43.are doing a quick step this week. Can they keep up the high standard?
:48:44. > :48:48.I would really hope that they don't. Controversial. He is too good. The
:48:49. > :48:54.first week I had to have the smelling salts. It was so fabulous.
:48:55. > :48:58.The second week was equally fabulous and the third week was equally
:48:59. > :49:03.fabulous and then, you know, I get bored with fabulous all the time.
:49:04. > :49:10.This is the thing, the audience think they are safe and they don't
:49:11. > :49:14.vote for them. I am now rethinking because I reckoned they were going
:49:15. > :49:24.to win it but now I am thinking... But you said Ed Balls. No, you said
:49:25. > :49:39.him for the final. The Mask was astonishing. Mess up a few of the
:49:40. > :49:47.old fleckerls. I am going to speak up for Oti. She is having fun with a
:49:48. > :49:54.guy who can really dance. Who do you think will go? Jodie? I am going to
:49:55. > :50:08.say Danny because the audience think he is safe. Anastacia. I might go
:50:09. > :50:10.Anastacia as well. You have said it. You have been absolutely glorious.
:50:11. > :50:16.Our Friday panel! And a special shout out
:50:17. > :50:18.to Jenny Lorigan who's having a little Strictly get together this
:50:19. > :50:20.weekend with her family. Now, there's only one man who can
:50:21. > :50:24.read this next link. Our dancing stars have fallen
:50:25. > :50:28.hook, line and sinker for ballroom and latin -
:50:29. > :50:30.as did I! Here they tell us how much the
:50:31. > :50:45.Strictly experience means to them. You know what, secretly, I am
:50:46. > :50:55.enjoying dancing more than I ever thought I would. I think a small
:50:56. > :50:59.part of me has fully fallen in love with dancing. It is absolutely
:51:00. > :51:05.incredible. I love coming in every week. I am loving every minute of
:51:06. > :51:10.this. It doesn't matter how tired you are and what is going on in the
:51:11. > :51:14.background, it all becomes white noise. I have definitely fallen in
:51:15. > :51:21.love with dancing. I always wanted to be a dancer. When you watch
:51:22. > :51:27.someone dance to a song it really brings it alive. I am loving every
:51:28. > :51:32.single second of it. I don't want to pre-empt it but I think I am turning
:51:33. > :51:40.into a sewer. I didn't think I could fall in love with dancing any more
:51:41. > :51:43.but I have! Learning to dance has been physically exhausting. I can
:51:44. > :51:58.move in a way I have never been able to before. I love the training.
:51:59. > :52:04.Every day is a revelation. I had no idea ballroom dancing could be so
:52:05. > :52:09.difficult and also so exciting. Is just the most beautiful expression
:52:10. > :52:16.of creativity that I think there is. I am having the greatest experience
:52:17. > :52:19.of my life. Daisy, you are making us all emotional!
:52:20. > :52:22.Now, it's time to check in with Gethin for one last time.
:52:23. > :52:25.Earlier today he nipped into the Star Bar on the hunt for
:52:26. > :52:37.I am with Strictly's newest boy band, it is GAG, that is what I am
:52:38. > :52:43.calling you. How are you doing? How is Tameka? Sarah-macro she left, she
:52:44. > :52:56.was disappointed because she wanted to be longer in the programme.
:52:57. > :53:03.Everything has changed so... How are you making him feel welcome? We love
:53:04. > :53:16.Gorka, we love all the new prose. There are six of them this year. So
:53:17. > :53:21.much love to give. We love Gorka. How has your week been? How has
:53:22. > :53:29.Laura been from the dance-off? It is good. You then just fight again. It
:53:30. > :53:39.is quite early for a Group Dance rehearsal, isn't it? It is early. I
:53:40. > :53:46.want to sleep. It is always early. This week is supposed to be
:53:47. > :53:54.fantastic. What can you tell us? Surprise. You don't know! It is a
:53:55. > :54:01.tribute to James Brown and Motown. We have some cool people coming to
:54:02. > :54:06.dance of us. We sit on a chair, wiggle around, do a couple of steps
:54:07. > :54:12.and smile. That is what boy bands do. Are you guys having a bit of a
:54:13. > :54:20.break from your partner now or will you chat to her or speak to her
:54:21. > :54:26.tonight? How will Daisy be feeling? We are on the phone all the time.
:54:27. > :54:31.Actually, she is right there! We do spend a lot of time together but
:54:32. > :54:39.actually, last night we went to watch the dance competition to get
:54:40. > :54:45.some inspiration and tips. It is good if they come and watch. This
:54:46. > :54:51.year is completely different. They come, some on the tapes, quick step
:54:52. > :54:59.tapes and then after two hours she left because she was so bored! We
:55:00. > :55:05.get so inspired watching the dancers we have changed all the steps! You
:55:06. > :55:18.have your group pro rehearsal. I will let you go. Can I have just
:55:19. > :55:25.cameo? I have still got it! He has still got it. If Marian did
:55:26. > :55:33.the show she would be dancing with Pasha. Who would be your partner?
:55:34. > :55:36.Anton! It could happen! That is all we have time for tonight.
:55:37. > :55:38.Sadly that's all we have time for tonight.
:55:39. > :55:39.Don't miss tomorrow's Strictly Come Dancing
:55:40. > :55:41.with Tess and Claud at 6:30 on BBC One.
:55:42. > :55:44.I'll be back here Monday with the next couple to be
