:00:48.:00:55.

host, Zoe Ball! Saturday's show is still fresh

:00:56.:00:58.

in our minds, but we've got And we're excited to announce that

:00:59.:01:04.

Ask the Pros is back! We could be asking your

:01:05.:01:09.

very question later Also on the show tonight,

:01:10.:01:11.

we've got the Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire of Strictly -

:01:12.:01:18.

they're great rivals, maestro is back for another

:01:19.:01:20.

warm-up, it's Ian Waite! we must ExTENd our congratulations

:01:21.:01:32.

to this conTENder. His dance won't be forgotTEN

:01:33.:01:39.

in a hurry, let me tell you! Well, Ed Balls show stopping,

:01:40.:02:01.

jaw-dropping, eye-popping jive. A star is born. You are the one to

:02:02.:02:13.

beat in this competition. -- it was show stopping. Man alive, it's the

:02:14.:02:17.

king of jive. Ore and Joanne, welcome! APPLAUSE

:02:18.:02:24.

I still cannot get over your ace nurse at the weekend. You were

:02:25.:02:28.

overwhelmed. Did you see it on the face? That was one of the best

:02:29.:02:34.

nights of my life. I'm still in a state of shock at just what

:02:35.:02:38.

happened. It's just all a blur. I don't know what's going on. The

:02:39.:02:43.

greatest thing I think about it is that there were some in a great

:02:44.:02:45.

dancers throughout the show, and we were like, yes, here comes Ore,

:02:46.:02:53.

she's quite good, and then bang, it our minds.

:02:54.:02:57.

Claudia said it was better than her own wedding.

:02:58.:03:00.

Why would you ask that? I haven't cried as much since my own wedding.

:03:01.:03:11.

I thought I cried a lot last week, singing in the rain, but I cried

:03:12.:03:18.

even there. So no tears this week? You know what I'm like! Don't start

:03:19.:03:24.

him off again! Jo, you must have known in training this is a little

:03:25.:03:28.

bit good, but could you have ever imagined he would have been echoed

:03:29.:03:32.

on a night? The thing about Ore is that in practice he is always good

:03:33.:03:37.

and I can see he is enjoying it, but when we get to Elstree, it is a

:03:38.:03:40.

little bit better and get to the performance every week and he just

:03:41.:03:44.

steps up a gear, and I can see it in his eyes. Before the dance starts,

:03:45.:03:50.

and they say" dancing the jive..." I can see it in his eyes, he really

:03:51.:03:54.

wanted it. At one point in the routine, he shouts "Come on!". And

:03:55.:04:02.

it's like, all right! I'm trying to keep up, love, but that's what you

:04:03.:04:07.

need, that spirit inside you. You need something. We tried to do it

:04:08.:04:10.

through watching it, and the shattered. Obviously a feud tears,

:04:11.:04:13.

as mentioned. Ore, you couldn't hold back

:04:14.:04:17.

the tears - though we've noticed a little habit you have to stop

:04:18.:04:19.

yourself from completely losing it. The old thumb between

:04:20.:04:22.

the teeth technique... Look at your little face! Oh no,

:04:23.:04:27.

that's terrible. And look at his bendy some! It is called something

:04:28.:04:32.

in particular and Icardi member we will look it up.

:04:33.:04:35.

The online response was amazing.

:04:36.:04:38.

Former Strictly star and tennis pro Andrew Castle

:04:39.:04:40.

#Murray has another three or four years on the court...please take

:04:41.:04:49.

ACE, what is he on about? The thing is, it does lead to the question,

:04:50.:05:02.

how did you manage to do those flicks and kicks so quick? And have

:05:03.:05:10.

you picked up a racket? I am never far away from a racket, obviously.

:05:11.:05:15.

Now, do you know what I have dreamt of doing that night, I said it on

:05:16.:05:21.

Saturday, I have dreamt of doing the jive on Strictly. But I never dreamt

:05:22.:05:24.

it as good as I did it last Saturday. It was beyond my wildest

:05:25.:05:30.

dreams, not to get all cliche, but I could not have imagined it. I am

:05:31.:05:34.

still a little bit like, did that happen? I'm with you there.

:05:35.:05:42.

are you sure you haven't danced before this competition?

:05:43.:05:46.

You've never been to a barn dance anything? I'm trying to get it out

:05:47.:05:54.

of him as well. It is the nicest compliment, people have been asking

:05:55.:05:57.

on social media as well. I have never trained to dance before. Thank

:05:58.:06:01.

goodness we are seeing it all come out of you.

:06:02.:06:04.

Bruno said you're now in the "holy trinity of Jives".

:06:05.:06:08.

With Jay and Jill (McGuinness and Halfpenny of course).

:06:09.:06:11.

He has put you with those three. That's amazing. When they mentioned

:06:12.:06:19.

these two, that's when I went. I said before the show started that

:06:20.:06:23.

the two people I have always looked up to our Gill and Jay. I just

:06:24.:06:28.

wanted to try, and then to put me in the same sentence as them, it is

:06:29.:06:33.

when things started to break down in here. He'll go again! Strictly stats

:06:34.:06:39.

speak for themselves, you have broken all the records for Weekley.

:06:40.:06:45.

Prior to your Jive, the highest ever Week 4 score

:06:46.:06:49.

I love you, Chelsea, we miss you! Look at that, 39, ladies and

:06:50.:07:10.

gentlemen! Worth noting that the Royal ballroom, except for Ore's.

:07:11.:07:14.

Moving on to this weekend and you're slowing things down with a Waltz.

:07:15.:07:16.

A very different feeling, I saw you having a practice with Paul, our

:07:17.:07:23.

floor manager. How is it going? It's going right. It is so different from

:07:24.:07:26.

what we did last week and we have had a couple of days to learn it.

:07:27.:07:32.

I'm making the same mistakes all the time. And that's just frustrating. I

:07:33.:07:37.

then think there's real pressure after we did last week, but all I

:07:38.:07:41.

wanted to do on this show is just improved and not get the steps right

:07:42.:07:46.

at this stage. She is trying to keep the positivity. Because I'm a

:07:47.:07:50.

northern girl at heart, so I really drill you on the technique, don't I

:07:51.:07:54.

rushed and not so I'm drooling him a little bit, it is a little bit hard.

:07:55.:08:00.

If it was easy, it would be boring. You have got to really try and it

:08:01.:08:05.

has been hard, I'll be honest. But hopefully we will have something to

:08:06.:08:10.

show on Saturday. We can't wait now. We are all like that, my goodness

:08:11.:08:14.

me. Jo, you have been complimented on your choreography because it is

:08:15.:08:17.

beautiful to watch, week after week after week. What does he need to

:08:18.:08:24.

watch with the belts? Said today, didn't we? Frame, mainly. We have

:08:25.:08:28.

done a lot of footwork. Otherwise happy with this boy? Very. Good luck

:08:29.:08:36.

this weekend. I think you are incredible, the two of you, aren't

:08:37.:08:40.

they gorgeous? For now, Ore and Joanne.

:08:41.:08:45.

Now, Strictly has made the long list for a National Television Award,

:08:46.:08:48.

so if you love it as much as these two, head to the Strictly website

:08:49.:08:51.

Now, as the nights grow colder we need a warm-up more than ever.

:08:52.:08:57.

Please welcome the human hot water bottle that is Ian Waite!

:08:58.:09:16.

Ian Waite, everybody! APPLAUSE Now let there be one the! Or you

:09:17.:09:27.

want me to get it out. Oh! Lovely. Last week we had a lovely tribute

:09:28.:09:32.

the key to the great Peggy Spencer, and you might recognise this very

:09:33.:09:39.

useful dancer who made a cameo. We had to show it! I look like Crystal

:09:40.:09:44.

Carrington with those shoulder pads! With the hair as well. So different,

:09:45.:09:50.

you look absolutely bonkers. I was in the moment. Melanie Walker, I

:09:51.:09:54.

danced with her the ten years, we were European champions together.

:09:55.:09:59.

Please tell me you still have that outfit at home. Now, I bent it! It

:10:00.:10:02.

is a shame. would have taken their foot off

:10:03.:10:04.

the pedal after movie week but no. How much did you enjoy

:10:05.:10:09.

the weekend's dances? Danny just blew me away, and Ore,

:10:10.:10:16.

just the icing on the cake. Unbelievable, so good. This weekend,

:10:17.:10:26.

Daisy and Aljaz follow with a charleston. How is she looking? It

:10:27.:10:32.

is about good side-by-side movements and character., and as you can see,

:10:33.:10:37.

she has got the swivel, inside and outside. There's some funny quirky

:10:38.:10:41.

looking steps, the bird thing that you do, flying out with the arms. I

:10:42.:10:46.

notice here that they have got this ice skating step. I think Aljaz

:10:47.:10:51.

needs to step up a bit because he's not quite as hard as her. The arms

:10:52.:10:57.

not quite matching there, that a thing for this early stage, she

:10:58.:11:01.

looks really good. She is turning into a dancer. I would not have said

:11:02.:11:05.

that at the beginning necessarily. She's surprisingly. I love the way

:11:06.:11:11.

she is matching her outfit with the surroundings. I have heard about the

:11:12.:11:15.

conflict -- the concept of what they are doing, it is amazing. Danny and

:11:16.:11:31.

Oti, a rumba. At the moment he is just testing it out. What he needs

:11:32.:11:36.

to do is have a lot more resistant in the body and in the arms. He is

:11:37.:11:42.

kind of doing arm movements but there is no actual resistance in the

:11:43.:11:45.

arm. You know when you finish something off, you have to finish it

:11:46.:11:48.

off right to the end with resistance. Sometimes he uses his

:11:49.:11:55.

arms and they flail around a bit. It is a very small thing because he is

:11:56.:11:59.

so good in other places as well. And also the rumba, I would like to see

:12:00.:12:05.

him a little bit more, oh, actually... What have you done with

:12:06.:12:13.

your tools? This one, OK, he is into a line, but when he is doing his

:12:14.:12:17.

strong rumba belts, he needs to have a bit more pressure, I can't do it

:12:18.:12:22.

in these trousers, they are a bit tight. No one is complaining about

:12:23.:12:29.

the trousers! Laura and Giovanni impressed with the very quick

:12:30.:12:32.

quickstep, giving up the pace, a jive this week, can they keep the

:12:33.:12:37.

points up? She has a nice little action and there is lots of jive

:12:38.:12:41.

content in there, basic jive content, which will please learn.

:12:42.:12:47.

He'll be happy. And American spin, and then they did a lovely whip.

:12:48.:12:54.

Here she does a backward place. Like a war one, obviously. You should

:12:55.:13:01.

make sure that effort, the ball of that foot, stays on the floor. If

:13:02.:13:06.

you are doing jive kicks, then I would say you can get them off the

:13:07.:13:09.

floor, but other than that keep them on. Balls of the feet on the floor

:13:10.:13:14.

of the time. Balls on the floor. Girls, all the time. As Greg and

:13:15.:13:20.

Natalie are dancing a cha-cha-cha, the judges were so impressed with

:13:21.:13:24.

his energy. Bruno was a bit worried that he lost a bit of time with

:13:25.:13:28.

that. How has it been? As you can see from this footage, Natalie is

:13:29.:13:33.

really working on his action. Straightening his legs nicely, but I

:13:34.:13:36.

would say the back total needs to push off a little bit more. And when

:13:37.:13:40.

I say push off a little bit more, I've started here, because as you

:13:41.:13:44.

can see from Natalie, she's using the inside edge of the toe. Whereas,

:13:45.:13:50.

actually, oh, that's the wrong one, whereas actually great is pushing

:13:51.:13:54.

from the outside of his toe rather than the inside like Natalie, and

:13:55.:13:58.

then the front foot needs to be turned out a little bit more. Just a

:13:59.:14:03.

little bit more. Small degrees, but they can make you look not quite so

:14:04.:14:09.

natural. Ed and Katya, we love aired so much, and Katya 's genius -- we

:14:10.:14:22.

love aired. American Smooth. Who probably would have done a good

:14:23.:14:25.

dance last week he just went wrong and could not pick it up again. He

:14:26.:14:29.

was trying to match her and he was trying -- she was time to pull him

:14:30.:14:33.

back on but it wasn't happening. In this, as you can see, a lovely bit

:14:34.:14:38.

of foxtrot. Not a lot of foxtrot in ballroom hold, but when he gets hold

:14:39.:14:43.

of her in shadow, he needs to keep the others up. My elbow? Your elbow.

:14:44.:14:51.

He needs to keep them up so she has a shelf to hold onto. You always

:14:52.:14:57.

need a shelf to hold onto. You know what I mean. Lesley and Anton, she

:14:58.:15:05.

is just a joy. Every week she blows me away this lady, tango for them

:15:06.:15:11.

this week, it will be good. Do you know what, he is throwing so much

:15:12.:15:19.

content at her. Because it's fast, obviously, there's lots of intricate

:15:20.:15:22.

choreography, it's amazing that she's actually picking it up. I did

:15:23.:15:28.

here that if you look here, she's doing a bit of a tell lead.

:15:29.:15:30.

Everywhere she has done heels. The only thing I want her to do is

:15:31.:15:44.

show her neck and have a longer neck, the only way to do that is

:15:45.:15:48.

bring their chest up and push it forward because she tends to lose

:15:49.:15:52.

the chest and then she loses the Mac. Push the chest up and you will

:15:53.:15:58.

get a long back. See that? Very nice too. Until tomorrow give it up for

:15:59.:16:04.

this gorgeous man, Ian Wade! Will of the trousers.

:16:05.:16:14.

quickstepped to the Sinatra classic "I Won't Dance".

:16:15.:16:17.

They're a class act, it's Danny and Oti!

:16:18.:16:25.

One of the best quick steps I have ever seen. You are on fire darling.

:16:26.:16:33.

You look good, you dance good and by golly you did me good, well done!

:16:34.:16:37.

Danny, you are such a superstar, that was one of my favourite quick

:16:38.:16:47.

steps ever, it was incredible. How much are you in love with strictly

:16:48.:16:53.

now? I can't explain how much I am enjoying it! That was the most fun I

:16:54.:17:00.

have ever had. To get through that, it is the most enjoyable dance we

:17:01.:17:06.

have done so far. It was just stunning. Oti, you looked so

:17:07.:17:10.

beautiful. And you were compared to Fred Astaire. The don of dance. How

:17:11.:17:16.

does that feel? The most amazing compliment but I let it go over my

:17:17.:17:22.

head because you can't really... It's incredible. Absolutely

:17:23.:17:26.

incredible. And you said you had always wanted to dress and dance

:17:27.:17:31.

like that but had been scared to perhaps not having the opportunity

:17:32.:17:37.

to. Any fear on Saturday before this one? No. He was excited! I was

:17:38.:17:44.

excited. We had messed a vision muck things up in the dress rehearsal but

:17:45.:17:48.

I knew I had enjoyed it and when you go out there what can you do but

:17:49.:17:52.

your best? What ever happened was going to happen, it was the best I

:17:53.:17:56.

had ever done it. I was so pleased with that at the end. He won't stop

:17:57.:18:04.

talking about it! Everyday! The quickstep! Next week 's coming

:18:05.:18:13.

years, but what about the quickstep! You should do that every week, we

:18:14.:18:17.

would all be happy. Expectations were so high because you had scored

:18:18.:18:27.

49s the week before. At home we were going, tens! Oti, I thought it

:18:28.:18:33.

deserved and ten. Every week when we go out we tried to do the best dance

:18:34.:18:37.

we can. We don't really do it for the marks, we just try to do an

:18:38.:18:42.

amazing dance. The points are like, you did well, you did well but what

:18:43.:18:47.

we want to do is a really good stance. But they know what they are

:18:48.:18:51.

looking for and it is beyond what we can really comprehend. You do your

:18:52.:18:56.

best and it is up to them what they see. 49s are amazing, I'm not

:18:57.:19:00.

complaining! Len said you had

:19:01.:19:03.

"a bit of sway going, How impressed we you with it? How

:19:04.:19:05.

difficult was it? I always say, on Monday it is the

:19:06.:19:24.

worst day but Danny works really, really hard. We put in a lot of

:19:25.:19:32.

hours. We really work hard and every little step we do with repeated like

:19:33.:19:37.

50 times, and we make sure it is really, really good, we put in a lot

:19:38.:19:42.

of hard work so everything you see is 100% hard work. It is nice

:19:43.:19:47.

because I think they make those comments towards Oti, because all

:19:48.:19:51.

the professionals choreograph the routines, so I just go where I am

:19:52.:19:55.

told to go. When Len says, you put in that and you put in this and it

:19:56.:20:05.

was lovely... Good impression! I am oblivious but Oti... You were making

:20:06.:20:06.

it look pretty good. Bruno asked if you missed something

:20:07.:20:08.

and quickly said "Forget it". What might he have

:20:09.:20:11.

been referring to? I did the choreography a little bit

:20:12.:20:26.

differently than it was meant to be! You did it differently? Just like my

:20:27.:20:29.

partner did another downside indifferently! We both did is

:20:30.:20:35.

different choreography. We will leave it there, ladies and

:20:36.:20:40.

gentlemen! I love that, Oti has just admitted she went wrong!

:20:41.:20:43.

Well, as you know we love a stat here at It

:20:44.:20:46.

And Strictly loves its Hollyoaks stars.

:20:47.:20:48.

But how do you measure up against them?

:20:49.:20:51.

We've taken all your scores for the first four weeks

:20:52.:20:56.

and added them together, so let's look at the individual totals...

:20:57.:21:08.

Ali Bastian had scored 124 by this stage.

:21:09.:21:13.

Ricky was very good. This is what Ashley scored but how do you

:21:14.:21:19.

compare? Look at your! That's all right, isn't it!

:21:20.:21:26.

Everyone says, a tricky dance, how are you finding it? I am actually

:21:27.:21:39.

really enjoying it. It is very hard not to look like a girl doing it.

:21:40.:21:44.

Apparently I have got wide hips, they like to go off on their own! --

:21:45.:21:52.

wild hips. You feel that if you are moving them you're doing the right

:21:53.:21:56.

thing, and Oti will look at me and say, no. Don't take my job, that is

:21:57.:22:02.

my role! You have to use your hips in a masculine way in the stands.

:22:03.:22:08.

And it is slow so it is exposed in terms of technicalities so I get

:22:09.:22:11.

hung up on where does this needs to be exactly and why. When you are

:22:12.:22:16.

moving arms, head, hips, head, that slowly and gets a bit much. We are

:22:17.:22:21.

working with that. I am enjoying it much more than I thought I would. No

:22:22.:22:27.

we had a moment when I thought, that was really good. If anyone can dance

:22:28.:22:33.

the rumba, this man can. Good luck, we are enjoying the work. Danny and

:22:34.:22:35.

Oti! Now it's not just luck

:22:36.:22:41.

that gets you top Here's how Judge Rinder

:22:42.:22:43.

Oksana, Louise Kevin and As it is a foxtrot American smooth

:22:44.:22:52.

it will be important to get the gliding right across the floor. I've

:22:53.:22:57.

never glided in my life. Casio has been trying to get me to dance like

:22:58.:23:05.

Fred Astaire. As much as the technical side is important the

:23:06.:23:07.

storytelling and performance will bring it all together.

:23:08.:23:14.

The Rumba definitely would have been a dance I looked forward to doing

:23:15.:23:22.

but know it is here I wish I had a few more weeks before I did it. The

:23:23.:23:28.

Rumba is known as the dance of doom. The judges are going to be really

:23:29.:23:33.

particular so I have to push Louise as hard as possible. I know it is

:23:34.:23:37.

tough, I don't want this to be the week that I don't pull it off. I am

:23:38.:23:47.

really scared of the Rumba! I am doing and jive this week, I'm not

:23:48.:23:51.

struggling with the steps, it is remembering them. The faster you go,

:23:52.:23:57.

the more steps, but we will get there. It is a challenge to dance

:23:58.:24:05.

such an active dance around a busy work schedule and often when you get

:24:06.:24:10.

tired you tend to be frustrated and I have been more frustrated this

:24:11.:24:11.

week than I have ever been. Don't lose heart, Judge Rinder, we

:24:12.:24:21.

love you. Now, like crop-tops,

:24:22.:24:24.

scrunchies and everything else you wore in the nineties, Ask

:24:25.:24:26.

the Pros is back for another outing, Please welcome back

:24:27.:24:29.

our pros Joanne, Oti Less of the old! I am still younger

:24:30.:24:37.

than some of them out there! Our lovely viewers

:24:38.:24:54.

have been tweeting and e-mailing all week

:24:55.:24:55.

so let's see what probing questions they have

:24:56.:24:57.

for you tonight... High, professional dancers. I am

:24:58.:25:10.

Leora and I would like to know what is your favourite meal to have

:25:11.:25:15.

before dancing. I like a peppered slice but I don't dance. I like good

:25:16.:25:22.

old sausage and mash, a bit heavy but I still like it. Has soon before

:25:23.:25:29.

you dance? A couple of hours. I cannot eat for at least three hours

:25:30.:25:33.

before I dance. I would have something like fish, something

:25:34.:25:38.

light. Having fish before you are dancing close to someone? Not

:25:39.:25:47.

McEnroe! Nothing strong. Oti? I get so nervous, to calm me down before,

:25:48.:25:56.

I have loads of chocolate. It gives the sugar. How close to the

:25:57.:26:02.

performance? Really close. Just before, I go into a corner. No

:26:03.:26:09.

wonder you are always liked... It's all the chocolate! The next question

:26:10.:26:14.

is from Vanessa Adams, and she asks, do the couples rehearse their last

:26:15.:26:24.

dance will is not planned? We did a dance, we needed all the time we had

:26:25.:26:29.

to practice the dance so we did not realise that. You never want to go

:26:30.:26:33.

into any assertion and say, in case we go out, this is the song. So I

:26:34.:26:40.

don't tell Danny. Last week I did by mistake. I said, this is our last

:26:41.:26:45.

dance. He asked, what do you mean? You don't tell them because you want

:26:46.:26:48.

them to do the best they can without this thing hanging over them. I have

:26:49.:26:54.

done quite a view last dance is! And I think sometimes you do lifts that

:26:55.:26:59.

you plan to do the week after or in a couple of weeks, we think, will

:27:00.:27:04.

try that out when we do the American smooth, so they say, this is our

:27:05.:27:10.

last chance to do it. Show off what they missed! Time another question.

:27:11.:27:14.

Time for another question, and this one is

:27:15.:27:16.

from mother and daughter combo, Eva and Megan.

:27:17.:27:18.

How do you teach your pupils to dance in a week?

:27:19.:27:23.

Well done, they are a great double act, Jo, how do you do it? We all

:27:24.:27:32.

have our different ways, I try to get through all the steps on the

:27:33.:27:36.

first days they have an idea of the routine and the second day going to

:27:37.:27:39.

the technique and keep going over and over it. On Wednesday and

:27:40.:27:45.

Thursday I will do ten a row. That is why everyone is so good. Oti? I

:27:46.:27:51.

always start with walking. It is important to start with that... That

:27:52.:28:01.

they can walk? You do the legs! The heels, the steps, so they are used

:28:02.:28:05.

to it already and then I do basic training. Also two different songs

:28:06.:28:10.

so that they learn how to count. Then on Tuesday are going into the

:28:11.:28:15.

choreography... Amazing, and that is how you do it in a week. I used to

:28:16.:28:22.

have you walking up and down for hours. Four hours.

:28:23.:28:26.
