:02:22. > :02:27.Give it up for Kevin and Anton - there'll be more from those cheeky

:02:28. > :02:44.I can confirm that we are only four hours, 22 minutes and 30 seconds

:02:45. > :02:49.away from the next live show. Brendan has been poorly with a chest

:02:50. > :02:57.infection. It is now confirmed, he is not well enough to dance this

:02:58. > :03:03.weekend with Anastacia. I know! Gorka will stand in for the

:03:04. > :03:05.quickstep. Brendan, we wish you a speedy recovery, and good luck to

:03:06. > :03:14.Anastacia and Gorka tomorrow night. No doubt tensions will be running

:03:15. > :03:17.high for our couples at Elstree as they make last minute

:03:18. > :03:19.preparations for the big night. If only we had someone reporting

:03:20. > :03:22.all the latest gossip behind Let's see what Gethin got

:03:23. > :03:31.up to earlier today. Welcome to the Strictly ballroom.

:03:32. > :03:34.Tomorrow night is the night, and Ore and Joe are now putting the

:03:35. > :03:40.finishing touches to their dance. From the highs of the jive, to the

:03:41. > :03:49.dips of the waltzer, let's see how they are getting on. Dancing to

:03:50. > :03:53.Whitney Houston, it is going to be powerful, sparkly, and emotional.

:03:54. > :03:57.And he's definitely going to cry! I will catch up with some of the other

:03:58. > :04:00.couples later, but for now, I wish you joy, I wish you happiness, but

:04:01. > :04:04.above all this, I wish you love! They'll be more from

:04:05. > :04:06.Gethin later in the show! But first, she may have played

:04:07. > :04:09.a desperate housewife on the dance floor last Saturday,

:04:10. > :04:11.but there was nothing desperate about her Foxtrot -

:04:12. > :04:27.in fact it she earned her You had a fantastic sense of rhythm

:04:28. > :04:33.and musicality. It was gorgeous. The footwork, you nailed. You execute

:04:34. > :04:56.every move with such grace, and you play the part stunningly.

:04:57. > :05:10.Hello, you delightful duo, you foxy fox trotters. And your highest score

:05:11. > :05:15.on the series so far. Did you skip home, Louise? Yeah, I had a really

:05:16. > :05:22.good night. I went home relaxed and happy. Ready for Monday and the

:05:23. > :05:25.Rumba. And another dance, of course. So many lovely comments.

:05:26. > :05:28.Bruno said it was a 'delicious soap opera to music" and that

:05:29. > :05:31.you "executed every move with grace and ease" - how much

:05:32. > :05:42.You must be thrilled when you hear that. I was walking around the

:05:43. > :05:49.studio thinking I was never going to get it. It was clamped, clump,

:05:50. > :05:53.clump, and we put so much time and effort into trying to do it right,

:05:54. > :05:57.so when they say that they enjoyed it, you are sort of pleased with the

:05:58. > :06:07.comments, because you think, I worked so hard on it. How are your

:06:08. > :06:15.feet, Kevin? Have you recovered? I will have to put spikes on my shoes.

:06:16. > :06:17.That will keep her away! I don't go anywhere near his feet now!

:06:18. > :06:19.But Len said you "nailed it" on the night.

:06:20. > :06:24.How difficult did you make the routine?

:06:25. > :06:32.There was a point in the week, on the Tuesday, where it wasn't quite

:06:33. > :06:35.there, and I thought, have I gone to technical on this? But then I

:06:36. > :06:39.thought, it's an amazing series, everyone is so good, you have to

:06:40. > :06:44.push the boundaries and go for it. We must have done that thing with

:06:45. > :06:49.the heel turn about 50 times. We worked and worked on it. Len picked

:06:50. > :06:55.up on it and talked about how she dragged her heels and did the

:06:56. > :07:01.perfect heel turn. I could've cried. You like it was one of my proudest

:07:02. > :07:02.moments. You did it! It pays off, it's so does.

:07:03. > :07:06.She wrote online saying Louise "doesn't know how good she is!

:07:07. > :07:16.I do agree, ladies and gentlemen. There are a lot of Louise and Kevin

:07:17. > :07:20.fans in tonight. Shout out, fans! Do you feel like you're starting

:07:21. > :07:29.to "own it" a bit more? Obviously, everyone is so good, and

:07:30. > :07:33.it does put you on the back foot and makes you nervous. You watch them

:07:34. > :07:36.and think, now I have to go out there. It is about losing

:07:37. > :07:40.inhibitions and throwing myself into it, making the most of it and not

:07:41. > :07:45.being too scared all the time. I do get really nervous on a Saturday.

:07:46. > :07:50.The heart gets going, and I think, I don't think I can remember any of

:07:51. > :07:55.what I'm doing. Now, I have to try and embrace it, love it and enjoy

:07:56. > :07:56.dancing. You should be proud of yourself, because...

:07:57. > :08:00.We're going to take a look at the highest scoring female celebs

:08:01. > :08:04.Here are their total points for the first four weeks.

:08:05. > :08:33.Really surprised, actually. I had no idea. The boys are so good as well.

:08:34. > :08:40.She can't take a compliment. I'm chuffed, though. Your top Dolly.

:08:41. > :08:41.You're just one point behind Ore and Joanne.

:08:42. > :08:44.They smashed their Jive last week - has sibling rivalry

:08:45. > :08:58.No pressure on me, here! He's like, come on! This is my favourite week!

:08:59. > :09:07.I was really proud of them. I never say this to Joe because I don't like

:09:08. > :09:12.to, but when it happened, when they were smashing it, halfway through

:09:13. > :09:15.the dance, I started screaming. When the score came out, I lost my voice

:09:16. > :09:20.because I was really proud. Ore is doing such a great job. He's

:09:21. > :09:29.amazing. It has made me really emotional. Don't tell anyone! Do you

:09:30. > :09:33.have a trophy cabinet at home where there are Kevin's and Jo's? I have

:09:34. > :09:38.just a little corner of Jo's! Moving on to tomorrow night,

:09:39. > :09:40.Darcey said she wants you to push Louise further -

:09:41. > :09:54.have you done that with the Rumba? Has he pushed you to the limit? It

:09:55. > :09:59.is really hard, the Rumba, actually. It is slow, controlled, the hips and

:10:00. > :10:07.the straight leg. It is so weird. You have to keep your legs still but

:10:08. > :10:12.you still have to walk. And then he says, now you come here. And I'm

:10:13. > :10:16.like, with straight legs bent? He's like, you can bend that one. It is

:10:17. > :10:21.tough. The last day or so I've enjoyed it more. It's one of those

:10:22. > :10:29.dancers wear rate is quite romantic, and I need to just really enjoyed

:10:30. > :10:37.it. -- one of those dances where it is quite romantic. I was trying to

:10:38. > :10:40.set the scene, saying, this is what the dance is about. I'm taking you

:10:41. > :10:45.on an expensive dinner date on a rooftop in Paris, the kind of night

:10:46. > :10:50.where I might propose, Valentine's Day. That kind of vibe? She looked

:10:51. > :11:07.at me and said, sorry, I've just worked bananas in your face! --

:11:08. > :11:12.Katya. -- burped bananas in your face.

:11:13. > :11:14.You're dancing to the classic Elvis track "Always on My Mind" -

:11:15. > :11:21.what else can you tell us about the routine?

:11:22. > :11:33.I try to keep up with everyone else. And I asked for a triple dip.

:11:34. > :11:35.Well, a certain fan of yours, Brendan Cole, was appreciating

:11:36. > :11:38.He wrote online "OK, Kevin Clifton, this triple

:11:39. > :11:45.From what I've seen, it looks amazing.

:11:46. > :11:47.Good luck tomorrow night, Louise and Kevin!

:11:48. > :11:50.Now, I think we can all agree, our dancers have excelled

:11:51. > :11:53.We've all been wowed by their group numbers,

:11:54. > :11:56.but what have they got in store for us this week?

:11:57. > :12:12.This week, I'm in heaven, we are shopping at Strictly's very own

:12:13. > :12:16.department store. Must dash! This week, we will be taking the public

:12:17. > :12:21.back to the Roaring 20s, set in Strictly's very own department

:12:22. > :12:26.store. This routine has a lot of mixture of styles - charleston,

:12:27. > :12:31.musical theatre, jazz style, and a bit of tap in there. Who knew in

:12:32. > :12:42.Anton and Kevin we had our very own Fred and Ginger? Modern Millie is a

:12:43. > :12:45.musical, and I'm playing Millie. There are so many different

:12:46. > :12:52.characters being played. Kevin is a shoe shine, Karen is the manager,

:12:53. > :12:55.Giovanni is the Taylor. We have a few extra surprises, a few extra

:12:56. > :13:06.cast members this week as well. We're getting ready for the

:13:07. > :13:10.charleston. The timing is nice. There was one part of the routine

:13:11. > :13:14.where I have to literally jump between three boxes. I only have one

:13:15. > :13:18.counts to get into each box, and on the last one, Giovanni has to catch

:13:19. > :13:27.me, so it has to be very precise in order for it to work. Who wouldn't

:13:28. > :13:35.want to shop in the Strictly department store? Is just amazing.

:13:36. > :13:38.The story is close. Out, out! -- the store is closed.

:13:39. > :13:40.Time now to meet three Strictly superfans, who just

:13:41. > :13:44.Here to voice their opinions on all things Strictly,

:13:45. > :13:53.please welcome Su Pollard, Aled Jones and Helen Skelton!

:13:54. > :14:17.Welcome, my lovelies. I'm loving the feathers, Sue. I had about another

:14:18. > :14:19.3000, but they've all come off! It is like a Christmas turkey.

:14:20. > :14:20.We're approaching week five this weekend -

:14:21. > :14:24.are you all enjoying the series so far?

:14:25. > :14:33.Personally, sometimes, if I'm with Hilda, my mum - hello, darling, 94 -

:14:34. > :14:40.whenever I'm with her in her little village, it is a must. The standard,

:14:41. > :14:47.we were just saying, of everybody is absolutely tremendous this year. The

:14:48. > :14:51.many specially. The best ever. Helen, do you agree? Green I do,

:14:52. > :14:55.actually. Each week, you don't want anyone to go. There is no wonder you

:14:56. > :15:05.can see leaving. Just let it keep running. We will talk about Danny

:15:06. > :15:07.and Oti first. They are doing a Rumba.

:15:08. > :15:12.Excited to see what they pull out the bag?

:15:13. > :15:18.I reckon he is the one man who can make the Rumba looked brilliant. So

:15:19. > :15:25.technical. Can I put it out there that he should have got a ten last

:15:26. > :15:26.week. I agree with you. He is so fantastic to watch and I want to be

:15:27. > :15:40.him. In your dreams! I saw your cha cha

:15:41. > :15:44.cha. He should have had a ten last week we thought because he was so

:15:45. > :15:50.good. I did think it was a bad thing he didn't get ten. I think people

:15:51. > :15:54.who thought he was perfect, now those people are probably thinking

:15:55. > :16:09.actually he deserves a bit of a backing. You kind of want to go like

:16:10. > :16:14.that... Ore and Joanne with a waltz. Here they are in training. How do

:16:15. > :16:28.they follow that jive? Is it even possible? I call Ore the biscuit.

:16:29. > :16:36.Because of "?Oreo. I shall bite him without the T! I just absolutely

:16:37. > :16:41.think, you're either born with natural rhythm or some kind of

:16:42. > :16:49.semblance. He is so good. I do honestly think he's got a very good

:16:50. > :16:55.chance. He takes on board what the panel say. He improves himself every

:16:56. > :17:04.week. I just really, really... I think ill smash it. Good, I love

:17:05. > :17:10.that Su! Claudia and AJ are doing a samba. We think she might be holding

:17:11. > :17:17.back a bit here and just walking through it. Although the wiggly

:17:18. > :17:23.balm, that's good... That's what you need for the samba, she's got that

:17:24. > :17:28.move! I think that really suits her because she's full of energy

:17:29. > :17:34.usually. A real live wire, ball of energy. That's what you need for

:17:35. > :17:39.that. Are you a fan of them? I feel like they real-life high school

:17:40. > :17:46.musical. I want to bump into them in a milkshake bar. LAUGHTER Cabrera

:17:47. > :17:54.Bello are endearing. -- they are endearing. You actually got your

:17:55. > :18:03.highest score doing a jive in series two. It was still a rubbish score!

:18:04. > :18:07.My highest score was an eight. It was the only week I forgot the dance

:18:08. > :18:16.for 30 seconds so I went like this... And I got an eight! Ed

:18:17. > :18:23.Balls, take note! Here is Laura jiving. What do we think of this?

:18:24. > :18:30.She's got a lovely skirt. I think you've really got to go for it in

:18:31. > :18:41.the jive. Where trainers, Laura. You can put somewhere leak into it.

:18:42. > :18:55.Those heels are so uncomfortable. You danced with Artem. The most

:18:56. > :19:01.serious man in showbiz! Daisy and Al is, they are doing a charleston.

:19:02. > :19:09.They are dancing to happy feet by Bing Crosby. Do we like this

:19:10. > :19:14.partnership? She is very regal, she mirrors everything she is given.

:19:15. > :19:25.She's just got the best smile of any woman I've ever seen life! LAUGHTER

:19:26. > :19:37.She's just there like that. Should be a fantastic toothpaste advert.

:19:38. > :19:45.She's tall as well. She looks great. And to Louise and Kevin and it's a

:19:46. > :19:51.rumba. Darcey has asked for Kevin to push harder. Let's see if the

:19:52. > :19:55.emotion is there. I don't think that the gets how good she is. I think

:19:56. > :20:01.are most endearing thing and her hindrance as well is that she's not

:20:02. > :20:09.as confident as she should be. Did everyone agree? I don't think they

:20:10. > :20:12.did actually! LAUGHTER She's not like, other people would come out

:20:13. > :20:20.and think they were smashing it but she is the opposite. That was really

:20:21. > :20:23.sensual but looked. She was talking about how your confidence grows on

:20:24. > :20:32.the show. How many weeks did it take to kick in? The tenth week and then

:20:33. > :20:37.I was out! LAUGHTER I hit myself behind a Russian for ten weeks and

:20:38. > :20:40.then I got found out! Some people are quietly confident and it doesn't

:20:41. > :20:46.matter how many people they feel they are telling. Some people keep

:20:47. > :20:52.it in them. They just think they'll do their best and go out there and

:20:53. > :20:58.do the best I can. I think Louise is like that. We'll discuss the other

:20:59. > :21:01.couples in a little bit. Our Friday panel!

:21:02. > :21:04.Right, time now for some more backstage Strictly action

:21:05. > :21:12.from TV's sexiest Welsh hunk, Mr Jones.

:21:13. > :21:28.LAUGHTER The other Mr James! -- Mr Jones. Here is a gold medallist,

:21:29. > :21:34.Greg Rutherford. Do you mind if I have a quick chat? What are you

:21:35. > :21:40.doing, laughing at the costumes? Look at this! It's a thing of

:21:41. > :21:48.beauty. I think it is AJ's I wonder if I could squeeze into this one? Is

:21:49. > :21:55.that like a gold colour underneath or a skin tone? It's nice, isn't it?

:21:56. > :22:00.For a man who spent his adult life in a sand pit, you are living be

:22:01. > :22:04.Strictly experience. We go through these costumes and you have the time

:22:05. > :22:08.of your life. You train hard all week, get to go out and perform.

:22:09. > :22:16.It's not terrifying in the slightest. Some people call you

:22:17. > :22:21.peachy. Bruno called you Tiger last week. You've got the cha cha cha

:22:22. > :22:25.tomorrow, you're a bit nervous. I am, we've worked incredibly hard on

:22:26. > :22:31.this one. Annoyingly this thing up here won't retain the steps. We had

:22:32. > :22:35.a bit of a moment in rehearsal where I ended up watching Natalie do the

:22:36. > :22:39.dance and I'm sure I was meant to be moving to. So we will try and

:22:40. > :22:43.rehearse it more and smash it up tomorrow night. You're an athlete,

:22:44. > :22:48.you always perform when it matters. As soon as the music starts,

:22:49. > :22:55.generally I get into the mode. Good luck.

:22:56. > :23:01.Craig was not "amoosed" with their Viennese Waltz -

:23:02. > :23:03.but we thought it was "udderly" brilliant.

:23:04. > :23:23.You did it quite well overall. Lots of proper Viennese waltz content.

:23:24. > :23:28.Your facial expressions are on the up. You've got a great balance

:23:29. > :23:48.between good dancing, a bit of fun and I enjoyed it. APPLAUSE

:23:49. > :24:07.Welcome. They were loving it! There so kind! They adore you. I loved the

:24:08. > :24:13.lederhosen. Not many people can pull off that look! It did get a bit

:24:14. > :24:19.surreal when I was standing there and Boris Becker arrived! He said, I

:24:20. > :24:24.was wearing the same thing two weeks ago. That's a very strange

:24:25. > :24:29.conversation! Complimented for their great high energy as well, did you

:24:30. > :24:33.have a good night? I terrified myself so much because we were right

:24:34. > :24:38.at the end up by the time we started I was so exhausted by being nervous

:24:39. > :24:46.that there's not very much gas there. There was some gas...

:24:47. > :24:56.LAUGHTER A mixture of comments from the Judges. Darcey was really

:24:57. > :25:03.impressed with the amount of content you had in there. Did it all go

:25:04. > :25:06.according to plan? Did it go according to plan? Pretty much,

:25:07. > :25:16.there was a bit of a dizzy situation. The dizziness situation!

:25:17. > :25:20.By the end we got a bit dizzy. She means me! I've taught her to speak

:25:21. > :25:27.like the Queen! We didn't have a good night! We had a good night!

:25:28. > :25:37.Obviously the one thing you are very much apart from being divine, is

:25:38. > :25:43.consistent. Consistently average! Imagine that at a parents evening,

:25:44. > :25:51.he's marvellously consistent! Oksana, did you think the Judge's

:25:52. > :25:56.scores were fair? Is working so hard. The amount of work he puts

:25:57. > :26:07.into it, underscored. We got dizzy, so, you know. Hopefully this week

:26:08. > :26:11.they will go up. Craig did say that there is a delicious dancer hidden

:26:12. > :26:16.in there. Will you be revealing this delicious dancer for us all in the

:26:17. > :26:21.jive? I'll have to ask the boss, I hope so. He's a master of the

:26:22. > :26:26.backhanded compliment. If you dig really really deeply somewhere

:26:27. > :26:29.there's a delicious dancer! We've all seen the delicious dancer,

:26:30. > :26:39.haven't we? APPLAUSE Week after week! It's lovely to be

:26:40. > :26:44.here on Friday. There's wine and snacks and lovely people! So far

:26:45. > :26:50.you've been a Judge, a caveman, a milk farmer. What character will you

:26:51. > :26:57.be this weekend? This weekend he's the Army. That's going down well.

:26:58. > :27:05.It's certainly my favourite outfit, what there is of it. Is it skimpy

:27:06. > :27:10.army? You've got a new series that's started, have you got a really

:27:11. > :27:14.hellish schedule? It's challenging. We don't get to rehearse on a

:27:15. > :27:19.Tuesday or a Wednesday so we only have Monday. The thing is, it's not

:27:20. > :27:27.a job. People keep coming to tell me, you must be so tired. You've

:27:28. > :27:30.done it, it's not work. Nurses and doctors and people who do real jobs

:27:31. > :27:37.work really hard. I arrive in the morning, I get to learn a new dance,

:27:38. > :27:43.she's gratuitously strict, it's heaven! Does he respond well to the

:27:44. > :27:53.strictness? The further we go the better his response is! I like that!

:27:54. > :27:57.The Judges are a bit divided on their love of your comedy. The thing

:27:58. > :28:02.is you can only be you when you're out on the floor and we love that.

:28:03. > :28:07.What's your take on that? Believe it or not, I'm trying to be myself and

:28:08. > :28:13.have fun. The thing is, you probably remember this as well. During

:28:14. > :28:16.rehearsals it's heaven. Not only am I loving the dances, I love the

:28:17. > :28:21.music this week. The frustrating thing is you want to dance to it but

:28:22. > :28:25.you're so nervous that sometimes you forget to hear the music. The last

:28:26. > :28:33.thing I'm thinking about is my facial range. LAUGHTER If that

:28:34. > :28:37.happens it's an authentic reaction to me having the best possible time

:28:38. > :28:44.I can possibly have and sharing in my enjoyment of the dance and what

:28:45. > :28:48.Oksana has taught me. It is infectious, I watch people's faces

:28:49. > :28:53.and they are so happy, you bring such joy. We are also loving you

:28:54. > :29:00.guys in the fashion stakes. Oksana, look at your lovely leggings. Do the

:29:01. > :29:06.leggings reflect your mood when you're training? Yes, probably you

:29:07. > :29:11.can see that. The ones in the middle are more reflective! Because she is

:29:12. > :29:20.so strict. I've tried those ones and... What did you say? Give it

:29:21. > :29:27.back! It's all coming out to night! I tried them on for the Flintstones

:29:28. > :29:35.and I'm yet to return them. Do wash them dear, especially with your gas

:29:36. > :29:42.problem! You bring us such joy. Judge Rinder and Oksana! APPLAUSE

:29:43. > :29:49.We do think you're going to make an amazing soldier but I think you

:29:50. > :30:05.might need a bit more training. Judge Rinder, drop and give me 20!

:30:06. > :30:29.Amazing, amazing! It's not just him training hard for tomorrow. Let's

:30:30. > :30:43.find out how the others are getting on in the training room. I'm in

:30:44. > :30:48.love, I tell you! The waltz is slow, sensual and romantic. Somehow I have

:30:49. > :30:54.to channel that into this dance. It is about precision in the feet, rise

:30:55. > :31:00.and fall, swing and suede. Any mistakes are going to be really

:31:01. > :31:11.highlighted. So, I've got to be bang- on with this routine. How you

:31:12. > :31:16.did that, I do not know. We are dancing the charleston. There's lots

:31:17. > :31:24.of hopping involved, lots of ankle swivelling, and it is about having a

:31:25. > :31:31.good time. It needs to be loose, fun. At every point, we need to look

:31:32. > :31:47.like we are enjoying ourselves 100%. We did it all right? We did! I'm

:31:48. > :31:51.still getting over Judge Rinder. Not only are we here to entertain but to

:31:52. > :32:01.educate. Let's find out how Janette got on.

:32:02. > :32:05.There are so many exciting forms of dance from around the world, and I

:32:06. > :32:09.thought it was time we learned a little more about them. During my

:32:10. > :32:13.career as a professional dancer, I have tried different styles, and one

:32:14. > :32:20.that has always fascinated me is flamenco. I am here to learn the

:32:21. > :32:25.basics. Wish me luck! Flamenco isn't just a dance style but an entire

:32:26. > :32:32.artform that developed from traditional songs and dances

:32:33. > :32:36.performed in southern Spain. Flamenco is characterised by

:32:37. > :32:45.rhythmic handclapping and footwork, which is contrasted with fluid hand

:32:46. > :32:51.and arm movements. Good, good! That is warm up? That's incredible. What

:32:52. > :33:02.is the first thing we are going to do? We will do some footwork.

:33:03. > :33:08.Allegria, 12 beats in the bar, which is particular to flamenco. Allegria

:33:09. > :33:22.means happy, doesn't it? We should be happy! Stayed flat. Quicker!

:33:23. > :33:34.I think you've got the feet. OK, I'm getting there. We will do arms and

:33:35. > :33:40.hands. It is specific to flamenco. For me, it is the elegance of

:33:41. > :33:46.flamenco. Flamenco is highly expressive and impassioned, often

:33:47. > :33:50.expressing the hope, pride and struggle experienced by the Spanish

:33:51. > :33:57.working classes. And relax. So, we lift up, we turn from the elbow.

:33:58. > :34:04.Bring it down so that the shape of the arm, no matter where you move,

:34:05. > :34:12.remains the same. Again, we join the two together. Out, in... Stretch the

:34:13. > :34:17.arm here. So why are the arm is so important in flamenco? Your arms are

:34:18. > :34:26.giving you the strength that your body feels. Like the arms are coming

:34:27. > :34:33.from the soul. From the soul. We have done footwork and arms... Now,

:34:34. > :34:38.some movement. Feet together. Unlike many types of dance, when it comes

:34:39. > :34:43.to flamenco, older is better. The traditional view is that it takes an

:34:44. > :34:46.older person to have the emotional maturity to deliver an honest

:34:47. > :34:49.representation of flamenco. Brilliant, good. We will put it all

:34:50. > :35:34.together. Altogether now. Thank you so much. Your incredible

:35:35. > :35:40.teacher, and you are incredible dancers. You did so well. That was

:35:41. > :35:43.so much fun, I loved it. But keeping up with the rhythms was harder than

:35:44. > :35:53.I thought, so I am going to lie down. Odelay! We're trying to do our

:35:54. > :35:57.hands. Not quite natural. That was her birthday last week, but the

:35:58. > :36:00.party has not stopped for our next couple. The charleston had everyone

:36:01. > :36:10.up on their feet and they are still going strong. Party on, it is Leslie

:36:11. > :36:17.and Anton. You really shocked me each time. It was strong, vibrant, I

:36:18. > :36:22.loved it. You bring such a cheeky, fun, naughty little girl to this.

:36:23. > :36:42.You look like a 20-year-old. You did a fantastic job, my darling.

:36:43. > :36:53.Leslie and Anton, everyone. Lovely. A brilliant charleston last week,

:36:54. > :36:57.Leslie. I am looking forward to watching you. I love the charleston,

:36:58. > :37:02.I absolutely love it. My mother, who only died this year at nearly 104,

:37:03. > :37:07.she was a flapper in the 20s, so she would have been a teenager in the

:37:08. > :37:13.20s. Oh my goodness, it was just... I loved it. Look at my face, I'm in

:37:14. > :37:18.seventh heaven. Our floor manager, the one with the red hair who is

:37:19. > :37:24.popular, he was saying he was so excited. I had gone wrong in the

:37:25. > :37:29.quick step, so I was disappointed. And that week, everything went

:37:30. > :37:32.right. You don't have a chance to do it again, so it's frustrating if you

:37:33. > :37:39.don't get it right first time, but I did. You did, and it was marvellous.

:37:40. > :37:53.As ever, a huge responsibility review online.

:37:54. > :38:00.It has been a bit mental, because I am filming the Christmas edition of

:38:01. > :38:05.Birds Of A Feather. We have been up at 5am every day, and we trained at

:38:06. > :38:21.Pinewood Studios at 7am on Wednesday morning. I've been up since 4:30am.

:38:22. > :38:29.He had been out on the rack as -- on the Rand and! It was incredible. It

:38:30. > :38:37.is not only that dance, I feel them all up with content. Leslie hasn't

:38:38. > :38:41.wanted me to take it easy. Every dance we have done has been a dance

:38:42. > :38:45.full of content. We have tried to underpin everything we've done

:38:46. > :38:50.together with content. Anything, like the quickstep, the dance was

:38:51. > :38:54.full of content and everything we did was layered on top of that. The

:38:55. > :38:59.charleston, exactly the same. When we got together, we went,

:39:00. > :39:10.charlestoning all the way to the end. There was no time for larking

:39:11. > :39:21.about... No, oh, oh, oh, we didn't do any of that. The tango this week,

:39:22. > :39:26.how have you found it? Every week we go one, I say, this is my new

:39:27. > :39:30.favourite dance. I'm loving the tango now. Lastly, it was the

:39:31. > :39:34.charleston about that is so yesterday. Now it is the tango and I

:39:35. > :39:38.am loving it because it is passionate, feisty, I haven't quite

:39:39. > :39:44.got it yet, but I will by tomorrow evening. And I'm a fortune-teller

:39:45. > :39:50.and it's all a bit mystical. So, it's right up my street. He walks

:39:51. > :39:59.into my world, God help him! And I try to get him into my web. Has she

:40:00. > :40:05.managed to get you in the web yet? I'm frightened all the way, but I'm

:40:06. > :40:12.not sure how much longer I can keep up. Has she managed to bring this

:40:13. > :40:16.fibre, passionate character to this tango? I am always ecstatic with

:40:17. > :40:20.Leslie because she is such a joy to work with, which makes my job

:40:21. > :40:28.easier. The dance is just full of tango. Which helps, because it is

:40:29. > :40:37.the tango. If it was the quickstep, I be worried! I haven't made it

:40:38. > :40:42.easy. You got it from start to finish. It's great. He said, put

:40:43. > :40:53.your head up, Lena, look over there, where I am looking? Witch and? It is

:40:54. > :40:57.like being a contortionist. We have a statistic for you. You guys are

:40:58. > :41:05.the only couple in the series this year to have improved every single

:41:06. > :41:11.week. Yes, the scores have crept up. Does that feel good, Leslie? Yes, it

:41:12. > :41:18.does. But it has to keep going, that is the only thing. Keep going. In

:41:19. > :41:24.four weeks, we will have 52 points! I have to say, it's not just Leslie

:41:25. > :41:27.causing a commotion dancing. The James Brown group number last week,

:41:28. > :41:42.oh my god. The phone was off the hook! Won the said, Anton is my

:41:43. > :41:49.hero. Amanda said, go, Anton, you funk demon. Have you always been

:41:50. > :42:00.able to do that? I've always been able to do that. I had great fun

:42:01. > :42:04.doing that. The guy who put it together, Chris Scott, an American

:42:05. > :42:10.guy, he is that sort of dancer, he was lovely and encouraging. The boys

:42:11. > :42:17.and all the other professionals were great. They were brilliant. I sound

:42:18. > :42:25.like I'm 900 years old, but it looked like a midlife crisis on

:42:26. > :42:34.national TV. I stole it, I looked kind of call. I couldn't believe

:42:35. > :42:38.what I was seeing. -- kind of cool. Give it up for Leslie and Anton will

:42:39. > :42:45.stop actually, do you know what? Before you go, could you just spring

:42:46. > :43:07.funk demon Anton, bring it on to the floor? Here we go!

:43:08. > :43:13.While we are getting down, let's go back to the training room and find

:43:14. > :43:20.out how Greg, Natalie, cloudier and AJ got on. Yellow that we are doing

:43:21. > :43:27.the cha-cha-cha, and I want to be good at this, to be able to do some

:43:28. > :43:32.moves that are really impressive. It is important to execute the flair

:43:33. > :43:39.and the feel of the Cuban cha-cha-cha, so it needs to be very

:43:40. > :43:45.flirtatious and quite cheeky. I've got to get it right, nail it, and

:43:46. > :43:51.shall I have good footwork. And three and four, and point. The Samba

:43:52. > :43:58.is so fast, I feel like my brain is going to explode. This is not like

:43:59. > :44:03.any other dance, it's insanely fast. I can't remember anything at the

:44:04. > :44:08.moment. We've been working on getting the steps right so far. The

:44:09. > :44:16.next part is the hardest. Stop doing this to me. We're having to do it

:44:17. > :44:23.again and again. Till I am like, I can do it any time. Try not to get

:44:24. > :44:33.angry. Time now to talk about the rest of our couples. Please welcome

:44:34. > :44:42.back Sue, Aled, and Helen. Anastacia is now dancing with Gorka I know!

:44:43. > :44:49.It's fascinating. Here she is in training with Gorka. How difficult

:44:50. > :44:52.will it be to have changed partners? If you are an actress, and you have

:44:53. > :44:59.got used to the director, it is almost like she has a certain body

:45:00. > :45:02.language. He is obviously as good as Brendan, because he has gone through

:45:03. > :45:07.the same sort of steps, but equally, he must hold himself in a different

:45:08. > :45:11.way, so I guess you then have to say, oh, yes, this is what you're

:45:12. > :45:17.after. I wouldn't be surprised if, as soon as she gets ensconced in the

:45:18. > :45:23.framework of his body... Ensconced in Gorka! And everyone thinks

:45:24. > :45:30.because she's a pop star that she can dance, but it is a different

:45:31. > :45:32.kind of dancing. Emotionally, she has had to deal with so much, put

:45:33. > :45:55.itself up there again. And goodness Brendan is a lie. Ed

:45:56. > :46:06.and Katya, can they get it back this week with an American Smooth? I love

:46:07. > :46:11.Ed. I think he is what Strictly is about. He's entertaining. I think he

:46:12. > :46:15.is the guy who's going to inspire people to take up dancing. He's not

:46:16. > :46:31.shy, he goes for it every week which is lovely. Is that an American

:46:32. > :46:35.Smooth?! I'm sure it is. I think Ed is so nice. He's really going for

:46:36. > :46:39.it. He's entertaining people every single week, what is wrong with

:46:40. > :46:49.that? He could drop dead but he's had a lovely legacy! LAUGHTER I love

:46:50. > :46:56.that a competition would be his legacy, though! Greg and Natalie and

:46:57. > :47:05.the cha cha cha. Does this look like it's under control? Helen, what do

:47:06. > :47:10.you think? I can't take my eyes off Natalie's stomach! I really like

:47:11. > :47:13.Greg, he's really competitive. This is a completely different world for

:47:14. > :47:20.him. He's used to doing his own thing. The costume and make-up is

:47:21. > :47:25.full on. He's not used any of this. He's another one who is embracing

:47:26. > :47:29.it, a bit like Ed. I'd love to see him in the final because I know he'd

:47:30. > :47:43.put on a real show stopper. That's because he's your mate! She's mates

:47:44. > :47:53.with Ore as well! Its Oreo now! Let's talk about Judge Rinder and

:47:54. > :47:57.Oksana. Craig says he is hiding a delicious dancer, I think we can see

:47:58. > :48:01.the delicious dancer. We saw half the delicious dancer in week one

:48:02. > :48:08.when he took his top off! He said he'd get the bottom half off if he

:48:09. > :48:13.gets to the final! LAUGHTER I think he's got really good energy. They do

:48:14. > :48:21.good numbers, numbers you see in the West End. What do you think about

:48:22. > :48:25.the comedy level? For me, I like it. It's Saturday night entertainment. I

:48:26. > :48:29.want to feel good, I want to have a fun time and he ticks those boxes.

:48:30. > :48:36.You always have a smile on your face. If Radio 1 says male or

:48:37. > :48:39.female, the contestant, it doesn't matter if you go wrong. The people

:48:40. > :48:46.at home don't know the choreography. As long as they are smiling, even

:48:47. > :48:50.though I'm on the wrong foot now... You get your highest marks! LAUGHTER

:48:51. > :48:58.Lesley and Anton are dimming the tango. You danced with Anton in

:48:59. > :49:03.2011, what do you think? I think he's probably quite strict with her.

:49:04. > :49:08.I think Lesley will probably be sometimes and he's not going to give

:49:09. > :49:12.her any kind of leeway. I think she quite likes that because she will

:49:13. > :49:17.rise to the challenge. He wants to win. And he hasn't yet. I think it

:49:18. > :49:24.would be fabulous if Lesley could say, don't you worry, this is the

:49:25. > :49:29.big one for you now! People get behind Anton as much as they get

:49:30. > :49:34.behind the celebrity. She is phenomenal, though. Her energy is so

:49:35. > :49:38.infectious. She is an example to us all. Someone has to go home this

:49:39. > :49:50.weekend so let's see if we can guess who it might be. Who is it curtain

:49:51. > :49:57.time for, Su? This is really dismal. It's so difficult. I don't want it

:49:58. > :50:06.to be Ed. Not Ed. That's an answer. Alex? This is a good game, I don't

:50:07. > :50:11.want it to be Ed either! LAUGHTER I don't want it to be Ed. We thought

:50:12. > :50:16.Lesley for the final but you might have jinxed them. Let's hear it for

:50:17. > :50:27.our Friday panel! No one wants to leave the

:50:28. > :50:43.competition at the weekend. We don't want anyone to go! It's so hard to

:50:44. > :50:46.say goodbye. Take a look at this. The hardest thing about saying

:50:47. > :50:50.goodbye to someone each week is you really get to know and love that

:50:51. > :50:55.person, and really enjoy watching their journey alongside yours. When

:50:56. > :50:59.you put so much effort into something, then to have that

:51:00. > :51:04.stripped away from you and out of your control is really difficult.

:51:05. > :51:11.When somebody who's supported you and you've been close to then

:51:12. > :51:18.suddenly leaves, it's tough. It's horrible, it's a horrible sensation.

:51:19. > :51:23.Somebody you chat, you hug, we hate that side of it. When you get really

:51:24. > :51:26.close to people and you can see their journey to, it's hard because

:51:27. > :51:32.you get emotionally attached everyone. It has to happen each

:51:33. > :51:38.week, it's not going to be nice and we go through it together. It's

:51:39. > :51:44.really sad to see someone though, because we are such a big family.

:51:45. > :51:47.Once you're in this, and you've given it to everything, the last

:51:48. > :51:53.thing you want is for that not to be good enough on the night. That last

:51:54. > :52:02.dance represents the end of their journey which feels pretty sad. It's

:52:03. > :52:05.horrible to see people go. We are a really close group. You know how

:52:06. > :52:09.much they've enjoyed their experience, you know how much

:52:10. > :52:14.everyone wants to stay. We all started this journey together, we've

:52:15. > :52:17.become so close. You never want to see anybody go and it is just so

:52:18. > :52:24.devastating. It's too much for me! Let's head back over

:52:25. > :52:26.to Strictly Towers for our final Gethin update -

:52:27. > :52:35.I hope he's behaving himself. It's getting busy as they prepare

:52:36. > :52:40.for tomorrow night and the big show. This is a good place to find people

:52:41. > :52:45.when they are eating and drinking, watching the others as well. Hello

:52:46. > :52:51.guys! Chilling out, having a biscuit. My goodness. She puts it

:52:52. > :52:59.away, how does she keep that body? She's just genetically superior. Her

:53:00. > :53:03.metabolism is not normal. It's so unfair! What have you been doing

:53:04. > :53:10.since week one? I've been catching up with my old partners. I saw Jake

:53:11. > :53:14.Wood, I saw Melvin. Peter and Emily. It's been really nice. Then we do

:53:15. > :53:22.all the pro-numbers, we're here for the rehearsals on Monday. Still

:53:23. > :53:28.keeping pretty busy. I'm going to ask you about everybody in a

:53:29. > :53:33.session. We haven't seen you since Will decided to leave the show, how

:53:34. > :53:40.have you been? I've been fine, it's been tough but I miss him very much.

:53:41. > :53:43.As long as we have each other and everybody around has been very

:53:44. > :53:48.supportive. I want to support everybody as much as possible.

:53:49. > :53:54.Everyone is saying it such a high standard, do you agree? I wouldn't

:53:55. > :54:00.say anyone is a professional amongst the celebrities. As professionals,

:54:01. > :54:03.has the standard been high? Extremely high. I think we noticed

:54:04. > :54:08.it straightaway in the first rehearsal, we could tell it was

:54:09. > :54:14.going to be an incredible season of dancing. I genuinely cannot call it

:54:15. > :54:18.any week, who's coming to go or stay because every week it feels like

:54:19. > :54:22.they are going up and up and up, with the scores and the dancing.

:54:23. > :54:30.It's an amazing season. What about tomorrow night? Everyone is doing

:54:31. > :54:40.great. I've never seen so many eight and nines in weeks. I don't know. I

:54:41. > :54:45.can't pick. I have my husband in there, my sister-in-law in there. I

:54:46. > :54:49.mean, everybody is in there. And it's really hard because they are

:54:50. > :54:53.doing great. I was having a chat with someone the other day about

:54:54. > :55:07.this, what is the hardest move for a male celeb on Strictly? The Rambus.

:55:08. > :55:12.-- the rumba. Show me this one. It's easier said than done. I might be a
