We've got a show to be getting one with! | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
Live, from London, this is Strictly It Takes Two. | :01:09. | :02:15. | |
Hi-de-hi, and welcome to It Takes Two! | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Give it up for Kevin and Anton - there'll be more from those cheeky | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
I can confirm that we are only four hours, 22 minutes and 30 seconds | :02:28. | :02:44. | |
away from the next live show. Brendan has been poorly with a chest | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
infection. It is now confirmed, he is not well enough to dance this | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
weekend with Anastacia. I know! Gorka will stand in for the | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
quickstep. Brendan, we wish you a speedy recovery, and good luck to | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
Anastacia and Gorka tomorrow night. No doubt tensions will be running | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
high for our couples at Elstree as they make last minute | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
preparations for the big night. If only we had someone reporting | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
all the latest gossip behind Let's see what Gethin got | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
up to earlier today. Welcome to the Strictly ballroom. | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
Tomorrow night is the night, and Ore and Joe are now putting the | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
finishing touches to their dance. From the highs of the jive, to the | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
dips of the waltzer, let's see how they are getting on. Dancing to | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
Whitney Houston, it is going to be powerful, sparkly, and emotional. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
And he's definitely going to cry! I will catch up with some of the other | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
couples later, but for now, I wish you joy, I wish you happiness, but | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
above all this, I wish you love! They'll be more from | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Gethin later in the show! But first, she may have played | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
a desperate housewife on the dance floor last Saturday, | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
but there was nothing desperate about her Foxtrot - | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
in fact it she earned her You had a fantastic sense of rhythm | :04:12. | :04:27. | |
and musicality. It was gorgeous. The footwork, you nailed. You execute | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
every move with such grace, and you play the part stunningly. | :04:34. | :04:56. | |
Hello, you delightful duo, you foxy fox trotters. And your highest score | :04:57. | :05:10. | |
on the series so far. Did you skip home, Louise? Yeah, I had a really | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
good night. I went home relaxed and happy. Ready for Monday and the | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
Rumba. And another dance, of course. So many lovely comments. | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Bruno said it was a 'delicious soap opera to music" and that | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
you "executed every move with grace and ease" - how much | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
You must be thrilled when you hear that. I was walking around the | :05:32. | :05:42. | |
studio thinking I was never going to get it. It was clamped, clump, | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
clump, and we put so much time and effort into trying to do it right, | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
so when they say that they enjoyed it, you are sort of pleased with the | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
comments, because you think, I worked so hard on it. How are your | :05:58. | :06:07. | |
feet, Kevin? Have you recovered? I will have to put spikes on my shoes. | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
That will keep her away! I don't go anywhere near his feet now! | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
But Len said you "nailed it" on the night. | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
How difficult did you make the routine? | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
There was a point in the week, on the Tuesday, where it wasn't quite | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
there, and I thought, have I gone to technical on this? But then I | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
thought, it's an amazing series, everyone is so good, you have to | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
push the boundaries and go for it. We must have done that thing with | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the heel turn about 50 times. We worked and worked on it. Len picked | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
up on it and talked about how she dragged her heels and did the | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
perfect heel turn. I could've cried. You like it was one of my proudest | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
moments. You did it! It pays off, it's so does. | :07:02. | :07:02. | |
She wrote online saying Louise "doesn't know how good she is! | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
I do agree, ladies and gentlemen. There are a lot of Louise and Kevin | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
fans in tonight. Shout out, fans! Do you feel like you're starting | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
to "own it" a bit more? Obviously, everyone is so good, and | :07:21. | :07:29. | |
it does put you on the back foot and makes you nervous. You watch them | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
and think, now I have to go out there. It is about losing | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
inhibitions and throwing myself into it, making the most of it and not | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
being too scared all the time. I do get really nervous on a Saturday. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
The heart gets going, and I think, I don't think I can remember any of | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
what I'm doing. Now, I have to try and embrace it, love it and enjoy | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
dancing. You should be proud of yourself, because... | :07:56. | :07:56. | |
We're going to take a look at the highest scoring female celebs | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Here are their total points for the first four weeks. | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
Really surprised, actually. I had no idea. The boys are so good as well. | :08:05. | :08:33. | |
She can't take a compliment. I'm chuffed, though. Your top Dolly. | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
You're just one point behind Ore and Joanne. | :08:41. | :08:41. | |
They smashed their Jive last week - has sibling rivalry | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
No pressure on me, here! He's like, come on! This is my favourite week! | :08:45. | :08:58. | |
I was really proud of them. I never say this to Joe because I don't like | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
to, but when it happened, when they were smashing it, halfway through | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
the dance, I started screaming. When the score came out, I lost my voice | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
because I was really proud. Ore is doing such a great job. He's | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
amazing. It has made me really emotional. Don't tell anyone! Do you | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
have a trophy cabinet at home where there are Kevin's and Jo's? I have | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
just a little corner of Jo's! Moving on to tomorrow night, | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Darcey said she wants you to push Louise further - | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
have you done that with the Rumba? Has he pushed you to the limit? It | :09:41. | :09:54. | |
is really hard, the Rumba, actually. It is slow, controlled, the hips and | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
the straight leg. It is so weird. You have to keep your legs still but | :10:00. | :10:07. | |
you still have to walk. And then he says, now you come here. And I'm | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
like, with straight legs bent? He's like, you can bend that one. It is | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
tough. The last day or so I've enjoyed it more. It's one of those | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
dancers wear rate is quite romantic, and I need to just really enjoyed | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
it. -- one of those dances where it is quite romantic. I was trying to | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
set the scene, saying, this is what the dance is about. I'm taking you | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
on an expensive dinner date on a rooftop in Paris, the kind of night | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
where I might propose, Valentine's Day. That kind of vibe? She looked | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
at me and said, sorry, I've just worked bananas in your face! -- | :10:51. | :11:07. | |
Katya. -- burped bananas in your face. | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
You're dancing to the classic Elvis track "Always on My Mind" - | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
what else can you tell us about the routine? | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
I try to keep up with everyone else. And I asked for a triple dip. | :11:22. | :11:33. | |
Well, a certain fan of yours, Brendan Cole, was appreciating | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
He wrote online "OK, Kevin Clifton, this triple | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
From what I've seen, it looks amazing. | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
Good luck tomorrow night, Louise and Kevin! | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
Now, I think we can all agree, our dancers have excelled | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
We've all been wowed by their group numbers, | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
but what have they got in store for us this week? | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
This week, I'm in heaven, we are shopping at Strictly's very own | :11:57. | :12:12. | |
department store. Must dash! This week, we will be taking the public | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
back to the Roaring 20s, set in Strictly's very own department | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
store. This routine has a lot of mixture of styles - charleston, | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
musical theatre, jazz style, and a bit of tap in there. Who knew in | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
Anton and Kevin we had our very own Fred and Ginger? Modern Millie is a | :12:32. | :12:42. | |
musical, and I'm playing Millie. There are so many different | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
characters being played. Kevin is a shoe shine, Karen is the manager, | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
Giovanni is the Taylor. We have a few extra surprises, a few extra | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
cast members this week as well. We're getting ready for the | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
charleston. The timing is nice. There was one part of the routine | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
where I have to literally jump between three boxes. I only have one | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
counts to get into each box, and on the last one, Giovanni has to catch | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
me, so it has to be very precise in order for it to work. Who wouldn't | :13:19. | :13:27. | |
want to shop in the Strictly department store? Is just amazing. | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
The story is close. Out, out! -- the store is closed. | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Time now to meet three Strictly superfans, who just | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
Here to voice their opinions on all things Strictly, | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
please welcome Su Pollard, Aled Jones and Helen Skelton! | :13:45. | :13:53. | |
Welcome, my lovelies. I'm loving the feathers, Sue. I had about another | :13:54. | :14:17. | |
3000, but they've all come off! It is like a Christmas turkey. | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
We're approaching week five this weekend - | :14:20. | :14:20. | |
are you all enjoying the series so far? | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Personally, sometimes, if I'm with Hilda, my mum - hello, darling, 94 - | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
whenever I'm with her in her little village, it is a must. The standard, | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
we were just saying, of everybody is absolutely tremendous this year. The | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
many specially. The best ever. Helen, do you agree? Green I do, | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
actually. Each week, you don't want anyone to go. There is no wonder you | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
can see leaving. Just let it keep running. We will talk about Danny | :14:56. | :15:05. | |
and Oti first. They are doing a Rumba. | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
Excited to see what they pull out the bag? | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
I reckon he is the one man who can make the Rumba looked brilliant. So | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
technical. Can I put it out there that he should have got a ten last | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
week. I agree with you. He is so fantastic to watch and I want to be | :15:26. | :15:26. | |
him. In your dreams! I saw your cha cha | :15:27. | :15:40. | |
cha. He should have had a ten last week we thought because he was so | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
good. I did think it was a bad thing he didn't get ten. I think people | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
who thought he was perfect, now those people are probably thinking | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
actually he deserves a bit of a backing. You kind of want to go like | :15:55. | :16:09. | |
that... Ore and Joanne with a waltz. Here they are in training. How do | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
they follow that jive? Is it even possible? I call Ore the biscuit. | :16:15. | :16:28. | |
Because of "?Oreo. I shall bite him without the T! I just absolutely | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
think, you're either born with natural rhythm or some kind of | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
semblance. He is so good. I do honestly think he's got a very good | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
chance. He takes on board what the panel say. He improves himself every | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
week. I just really, really... I think ill smash it. Good, I love | :16:56. | :17:04. | |
that Su! Claudia and AJ are doing a samba. We think she might be holding | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
back a bit here and just walking through it. Although the wiggly | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
balm, that's good... That's what you need for the samba, she's got that | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
move! I think that really suits her because she's full of energy | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
usually. A real live wire, ball of energy. That's what you need for | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
that. Are you a fan of them? I feel like they real-life high school | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
musical. I want to bump into them in a milkshake bar. LAUGHTER Cabrera | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
Bello are endearing. -- they are endearing. You actually got your | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
highest score doing a jive in series two. It was still a rubbish score! | :17:55. | :18:03. | |
My highest score was an eight. It was the only week I forgot the dance | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
for 30 seconds so I went like this... And I got an eight! Ed | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
Balls, take note! Here is Laura jiving. What do we think of this? | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
She's got a lovely skirt. I think you've really got to go for it in | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
the jive. Where trainers, Laura. You can put somewhere leak into it. | :18:31. | :18:41. | |
Those heels are so uncomfortable. You danced with Artem. The most | :18:42. | :18:55. | |
serious man in showbiz! Daisy and Al is, they are doing a charleston. | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
They are dancing to happy feet by Bing Crosby. Do we like this | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
partnership? She is very regal, she mirrors everything she is given. | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
She's just got the best smile of any woman I've ever seen life! LAUGHTER | :19:15. | :19:25. | |
She's just there like that. Should be a fantastic toothpaste advert. | :19:26. | :19:37. | |
She's tall as well. She looks great. And to Louise and Kevin and it's a | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
rumba. Darcey has asked for Kevin to push harder. Let's see if the | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
emotion is there. I don't think that the gets how good she is. I think | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
are most endearing thing and her hindrance as well is that she's not | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
as confident as she should be. Did everyone agree? I don't think they | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
did actually! LAUGHTER She's not like, other people would come out | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
and think they were smashing it but she is the opposite. That was really | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
sensual but looked. She was talking about how your confidence grows on | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
the show. How many weeks did it take to kick in? The tenth week and then | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
I was out! LAUGHTER I hit myself behind a Russian for ten weeks and | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
then I got found out! Some people are quietly confident and it doesn't | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
matter how many people they feel they are telling. Some people keep | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
it in them. They just think they'll do their best and go out there and | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
do the best I can. I think Louise is like that. We'll discuss the other | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
couples in a little bit. Our Friday panel! | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
Right, time now for some more backstage Strictly action | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
from TV's sexiest Welsh hunk, Mr Jones. | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
LAUGHTER The other Mr James! -- Mr Jones. Here is a gold medallist, | :21:13. | :21:28. | |
Greg Rutherford. Do you mind if I have a quick chat? What are you | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
doing, laughing at the costumes? Look at this! It's a thing of | :21:35. | :21:40. | |
beauty. I think it is AJ's I wonder if I could squeeze into this one? Is | :21:41. | :21:48. | |
that like a gold colour underneath or a skin tone? It's nice, isn't it? | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
For a man who spent his adult life in a sand pit, you are living be | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Strictly experience. We go through these costumes and you have the time | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
of your life. You train hard all week, get to go out and perform. | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
It's not terrifying in the slightest. Some people call you | :22:09. | :22:16. | |
peachy. Bruno called you Tiger last week. You've got the cha cha cha | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
tomorrow, you're a bit nervous. I am, we've worked incredibly hard on | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
this one. Annoyingly this thing up here won't retain the steps. We had | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
a bit of a moment in rehearsal where I ended up watching Natalie do the | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
dance and I'm sure I was meant to be moving to. So we will try and | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
rehearse it more and smash it up tomorrow night. You're an athlete, | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
you always perform when it matters. As soon as the music starts, | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
generally I get into the mode. Good luck. | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
Craig was not "amoosed" with their Viennese Waltz - | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
but we thought it was "udderly" brilliant. | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
You did it quite well overall. Lots of proper Viennese waltz content. | :23:04. | :23:23. | |
Your facial expressions are on the up. You've got a great balance | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
between good dancing, a bit of fun and I enjoyed it. APPLAUSE | :23:29. | :23:48. | |
Welcome. They were loving it! There so kind! They adore you. I loved the | :23:49. | :24:07. | |
lederhosen. Not many people can pull off that look! It did get a bit | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
surreal when I was standing there and Boris Becker arrived! He said, I | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
was wearing the same thing two weeks ago. That's a very strange | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
conversation! Complimented for their great high energy as well, did you | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
have a good night? I terrified myself so much because we were right | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
at the end up by the time we started I was so exhausted by being nervous | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
that there's not very much gas there. There was some gas... | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
LAUGHTER A mixture of comments from the Judges. Darcey was really | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
impressed with the amount of content you had in there. Did it all go | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
according to plan? Did it go according to plan? Pretty much, | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
there was a bit of a dizzy situation. The dizziness situation! | :25:07. | :25:16. | |
By the end we got a bit dizzy. She means me! I've taught her to speak | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
like the Queen! We didn't have a good night! We had a good night! | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
Obviously the one thing you are very much apart from being divine, is | :25:28. | :25:37. | |
consistent. Consistently average! Imagine that at a parents evening, | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
he's marvellously consistent! Oksana, did you think the Judge's | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
scores were fair? Is working so hard. The amount of work he puts | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
into it, underscored. We got dizzy, so, you know. Hopefully this week | :25:57. | :26:07. | |
they will go up. Craig did say that there is a delicious dancer hidden | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
in there. Will you be revealing this delicious dancer for us all in the | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
jive? I'll have to ask the boss, I hope so. He's a master of the | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
backhanded compliment. If you dig really really deeply somewhere | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
there's a delicious dancer! We've all seen the delicious dancer, | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
haven't we? APPLAUSE Week after week! It's lovely to be | :26:30. | :26:39. | |
here on Friday. There's wine and snacks and lovely people! So far | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
you've been a Judge, a caveman, a milk farmer. What character will you | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
be this weekend? This weekend he's the Army. That's going down well. | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
It's certainly my favourite outfit, what there is of it. Is it skimpy | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
army? You've got a new series that's started, have you got a really | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
hellish schedule? It's challenging. We don't get to rehearse on a | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Tuesday or a Wednesday so we only have Monday. The thing is, it's not | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
a job. People keep coming to tell me, you must be so tired. You've | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
done it, it's not work. Nurses and doctors and people who do real jobs | :27:28. | :27:30. | |
work really hard. I arrive in the morning, I get to learn a new dance, | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
she's gratuitously strict, it's heaven! Does he respond well to the | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
strictness? The further we go the better his response is! I like that! | :27:44. | :27:53. | |
The Judges are a bit divided on their love of your comedy. The thing | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
is you can only be you when you're out on the floor and we love that. | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
What's your take on that? Believe it or not, I'm trying to be myself and | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
have fun. The thing is, you probably remember this as well. During | :28:08. | :28:13. | |
rehearsals it's heaven. Not only am I loving the dances, I love the | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
music this week. The frustrating thing is you want to dance to it but | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
you're so nervous that sometimes you forget to hear the music. The last | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
thing I'm thinking about is my facial range. LAUGHTER If that | :28:26. | :28:33. | |
happens it's an authentic reaction to me having the best possible time | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
I can possibly have and sharing in my enjoyment of the dance and what | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
Oksana has taught me. It is infectious, I watch people's faces | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
and they are so happy, you bring such joy. We are also loving you | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
guys in the fashion stakes. Oksana, look at your lovely leggings. Do the | :28:54. | :29:00. | |
leggings reflect your mood when you're training? Yes, probably you | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
can see that. The ones in the middle are more reflective! Because she is | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
so strict. I've tried those ones and... What did you say? Give it | :29:12. | :29:20. | |
back! It's all coming out to night! I tried them on for the Flintstones | :29:21. | :29:27. | |
and I'm yet to return them. Do wash them dear, especially with your gas | :29:28. | :29:35. | |
problem! You bring us such joy. Judge Rinder and Oksana! APPLAUSE | :29:36. | :29:42. | |
We do think you're going to make an amazing soldier but I think you | :29:43. | :29:49. | |
might need a bit more training. Judge Rinder, drop and give me 20! | :29:50. | :30:05. | |
Amazing, amazing! It's not just him training hard for tomorrow. Let's | :30:06. | :30:29. | |
find out how the others are getting on in the training room. I'm in | :30:30. | :30:43. | |
love, I tell you! The waltz is slow, sensual and romantic. Somehow I have | :30:44. | :30:48. | |
to channel that into this dance. It is about precision in the feet, rise | :30:49. | :30:54. | |
and fall, swing and suede. Any mistakes are going to be really | :30:55. | :31:00. | |
highlighted. So, I've got to be bang- on with this routine. How you | :31:01. | :31:11. | |
did that, I do not know. We are dancing the charleston. There's lots | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
of hopping involved, lots of ankle swivelling, and it is about having a | :31:17. | :31:24. | |
good time. It needs to be loose, fun. At every point, we need to look | :31:25. | :31:31. | |
like we are enjoying ourselves 100%. We did it all right? We did! I'm | :31:32. | :31:47. | |
still getting over Judge Rinder. Not only are we here to entertain but to | :31:48. | :31:51. | |
educate. Let's find out how Janette got on. | :31:52. | :32:01. | |
There are so many exciting forms of dance from around the world, and I | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
thought it was time we learned a little more about them. During my | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
career as a professional dancer, I have tried different styles, and one | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
that has always fascinated me is flamenco. I am here to learn the | :32:14. | :32:20. | |
basics. Wish me luck! Flamenco isn't just a dance style but an entire | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
artform that developed from traditional songs and dances | :32:26. | :32:32. | |
performed in southern Spain. Flamenco is characterised by | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
rhythmic handclapping and footwork, which is contrasted with fluid hand | :32:37. | :32:45. | |
and arm movements. Good, good! That is warm up? That's incredible. What | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
is the first thing we are going to do? We will do some footwork. | :32:52. | :33:02. | |
Allegria, 12 beats in the bar, which is particular to flamenco. Allegria | :33:03. | :33:08. | |
means happy, doesn't it? We should be happy! Stayed flat. Quicker! | :33:09. | :33:22. | |
I think you've got the feet. OK, I'm getting there. We will do arms and | :33:23. | :33:34. | |
hands. It is specific to flamenco. For me, it is the elegance of | :33:35. | :33:40. | |
flamenco. Flamenco is highly expressive and impassioned, often | :33:41. | :33:46. | |
expressing the hope, pride and struggle experienced by the Spanish | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
working classes. And relax. So, we lift up, we turn from the elbow. | :33:51. | :33:57. | |
Bring it down so that the shape of the arm, no matter where you move, | :33:58. | :34:04. | |
remains the same. Again, we join the two together. Out, in... Stretch the | :34:05. | :34:12. | |
arm here. So why are the arm is so important in flamenco? Your arms are | :34:13. | :34:17. | |
giving you the strength that your body feels. Like the arms are coming | :34:18. | :34:26. | |
from the soul. From the soul. We have done footwork and arms... Now, | :34:27. | :34:33. | |
some movement. Feet together. Unlike many types of dance, when it comes | :34:34. | :34:38. | |
to flamenco, older is better. The traditional view is that it takes an | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
older person to have the emotional maturity to deliver an honest | :34:44. | :34:46. | |
representation of flamenco. Brilliant, good. We will put it all | :34:47. | :34:49. | |
together. Altogether now. Thank you so much. Your incredible | :34:50. | :35:34. | |
teacher, and you are incredible dancers. You did so well. That was | :35:35. | :35:40. | |
so much fun, I loved it. But keeping up with the rhythms was harder than | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
I thought, so I am going to lie down. Odelay! We're trying to do our | :35:44. | :35:53. | |
hands. Not quite natural. That was her birthday last week, but the | :35:54. | :35:57. | |
party has not stopped for our next couple. The charleston had everyone | :35:58. | :36:00. | |
up on their feet and they are still going strong. Party on, it is Leslie | :36:01. | :36:10. | |
and Anton. You really shocked me each time. It was strong, vibrant, I | :36:11. | :36:17. | |
loved it. You bring such a cheeky, fun, naughty little girl to this. | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
You look like a 20-year-old. You did a fantastic job, my darling. | :36:23. | :36:42. | |
Leslie and Anton, everyone. Lovely. A brilliant charleston last week, | :36:43. | :36:53. | |
Leslie. I am looking forward to watching you. I love the charleston, | :36:54. | :36:57. | |
I absolutely love it. My mother, who only died this year at nearly 104, | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
she was a flapper in the 20s, so she would have been a teenager in the | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
20s. Oh my goodness, it was just... I loved it. Look at my face, I'm in | :37:08. | :37:13. | |
seventh heaven. Our floor manager, the one with the red hair who is | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
popular, he was saying he was so excited. I had gone wrong in the | :37:19. | :37:24. | |
quick step, so I was disappointed. And that week, everything went | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
right. You don't have a chance to do it again, so it's frustrating if you | :37:30. | :37:32. | |
don't get it right first time, but I did. You did, and it was marvellous. | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
As ever, a huge responsibility review online. | :37:40. | :37:53. | |
It has been a bit mental, because I am filming the Christmas edition of | :37:54. | :38:00. | |
Birds Of A Feather. We have been up at 5am every day, and we trained at | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
Pinewood Studios at 7am on Wednesday morning. I've been up since 4:30am. | :38:06. | :38:21. | |
He had been out on the rack as -- on the Rand and! It was incredible. It | :38:22. | :38:29. | |
is not only that dance, I feel them all up with content. Leslie hasn't | :38:30. | :38:37. | |
wanted me to take it easy. Every dance we have done has been a dance | :38:38. | :38:41. | |
full of content. We have tried to underpin everything we've done | :38:42. | :38:45. | |
together with content. Anything, like the quickstep, the dance was | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
full of content and everything we did was layered on top of that. The | :38:51. | :38:54. | |
charleston, exactly the same. When we got together, we went, | :38:55. | :38:59. | |
charlestoning all the way to the end. There was no time for larking | :39:00. | :39:10. | |
about... No, oh, oh, oh, we didn't do any of that. The tango this week, | :39:11. | :39:21. | |
how have you found it? Every week we go one, I say, this is my new | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
favourite dance. I'm loving the tango now. Lastly, it was the | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
charleston about that is so yesterday. Now it is the tango and I | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
am loving it because it is passionate, feisty, I haven't quite | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
got it yet, but I will by tomorrow evening. And I'm a fortune-teller | :39:39. | :39:44. | |
and it's all a bit mystical. So, it's right up my street. He walks | :39:45. | :39:50. | |
into my world, God help him! And I try to get him into my web. Has she | :39:51. | :39:59. | |
managed to get you in the web yet? I'm frightened all the way, but I'm | :40:00. | :40:05. | |
not sure how much longer I can keep up. Has she managed to bring this | :40:06. | :40:12. | |
fibre, passionate character to this tango? I am always ecstatic with | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
Leslie because she is such a joy to work with, which makes my job | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
easier. The dance is just full of tango. Which helps, because it is | :40:21. | :40:28. | |
the tango. If it was the quickstep, I be worried! I haven't made it | :40:29. | :40:37. | |
easy. You got it from start to finish. It's great. He said, put | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
your head up, Lena, look over there, where I am looking? Witch and? It is | :40:43. | :40:53. | |
like being a contortionist. We have a statistic for you. You guys are | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
the only couple in the series this year to have improved every single | :40:58. | :41:05. | |
week. Yes, the scores have crept up. Does that feel good, Leslie? Yes, it | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
does. But it has to keep going, that is the only thing. Keep going. In | :41:12. | :41:18. | |
four weeks, we will have 52 points! I have to say, it's not just Leslie | :41:19. | :41:24. | |
causing a commotion dancing. The James Brown group number last week, | :41:25. | :41:27. | |
oh my god. The phone was off the hook! Won the said, Anton is my | :41:28. | :41:42. | |
hero. Amanda said, go, Anton, you funk demon. Have you always been | :41:43. | :41:49. | |
able to do that? I've always been able to do that. I had great fun | :41:50. | :42:00. | |
doing that. The guy who put it together, Chris Scott, an American | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
guy, he is that sort of dancer, he was lovely and encouraging. The boys | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
and all the other professionals were great. They were brilliant. I sound | :42:11. | :42:17. | |
like I'm 900 years old, but it looked like a midlife crisis on | :42:18. | :42:25. | |
national TV. I stole it, I looked kind of call. I couldn't believe | :42:26. | :42:34. | |
what I was seeing. -- kind of cool. Give it up for Leslie and Anton will | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
stop actually, do you know what? Before you go, could you just spring | :42:39. | :42:45. | |
funk demon Anton, bring it on to the floor? Here we go! | :42:46. | :43:07. | |
While we are getting down, let's go back to the training room and find | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
out how Greg, Natalie, cloudier and AJ got on. Yellow that we are doing | :43:14. | :43:20. | |
the cha-cha-cha, and I want to be good at this, to be able to do some | :43:21. | :43:27. | |
moves that are really impressive. It is important to execute the flair | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
and the feel of the Cuban cha-cha-cha, so it needs to be very | :43:33. | :43:39. | |
flirtatious and quite cheeky. I've got to get it right, nail it, and | :43:40. | :43:45. | |
shall I have good footwork. And three and four, and point. The Samba | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
is so fast, I feel like my brain is going to explode. This is not like | :43:52. | :43:58. | |
any other dance, it's insanely fast. I can't remember anything at the | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
moment. We've been working on getting the steps right so far. The | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
next part is the hardest. Stop doing this to me. We're having to do it | :44:09. | :44:16. | |
again and again. Till I am like, I can do it any time. Try not to get | :44:17. | :44:23. | |
angry. Time now to talk about the rest of our couples. Please welcome | :44:24. | :44:33. | |
back Sue, Aled, and Helen. Anastacia is now dancing with Gorka I know! | :44:34. | :44:42. | |
It's fascinating. Here she is in training with Gorka. How difficult | :44:43. | :44:49. | |
will it be to have changed partners? If you are an actress, and you have | :44:50. | :44:52. | |
got used to the director, it is almost like she has a certain body | :44:53. | :44:59. | |
language. He is obviously as good as Brendan, because he has gone through | :45:00. | :45:02. | |
the same sort of steps, but equally, he must hold himself in a different | :45:03. | :45:07. | |
way, so I guess you then have to say, oh, yes, this is what you're | :45:08. | :45:11. | |
after. I wouldn't be surprised if, as soon as she gets ensconced in the | :45:12. | :45:17. | |
framework of his body... Ensconced in Gorka! And everyone thinks | :45:18. | :45:23. | |
because she's a pop star that she can dance, but it is a different | :45:24. | :45:30. | |
kind of dancing. Emotionally, she has had to deal with so much, put | :45:31. | :45:32. | |
itself up there again. And goodness Brendan is a lie. Ed | :45:33. | :45:55. | |
and Katya, can they get it back this week with an American Smooth? I love | :45:56. | :46:06. | |
Ed. I think he is what Strictly is about. He's entertaining. I think he | :46:07. | :46:11. | |
is the guy who's going to inspire people to take up dancing. He's not | :46:12. | :46:15. | |
shy, he goes for it every week which is lovely. Is that an American | :46:16. | :46:31. | |
Smooth?! I'm sure it is. I think Ed is so nice. He's really going for | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
it. He's entertaining people every single week, what is wrong with | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
that? He could drop dead but he's had a lovely legacy! LAUGHTER I love | :46:40. | :46:49. | |
that a competition would be his legacy, though! Greg and Natalie and | :46:50. | :46:56. | |
the cha cha cha. Does this look like it's under control? Helen, what do | :46:57. | :47:05. | |
you think? I can't take my eyes off Natalie's stomach! I really like | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
Greg, he's really competitive. This is a completely different world for | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
him. He's used to doing his own thing. The costume and make-up is | :47:14. | :47:20. | |
full on. He's not used any of this. He's another one who is embracing | :47:21. | :47:25. | |
it, a bit like Ed. I'd love to see him in the final because I know he'd | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
put on a real show stopper. That's because he's your mate! She's mates | :47:30. | :47:43. | |
with Ore as well! Its Oreo now! Let's talk about Judge Rinder and | :47:44. | :47:53. | |
Oksana. Craig says he is hiding a delicious dancer, I think we can see | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
the delicious dancer. We saw half the delicious dancer in week one | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
when he took his top off! He said he'd get the bottom half off if he | :48:02. | :48:08. | |
gets to the final! LAUGHTER I think he's got really good energy. They do | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
good numbers, numbers you see in the West End. What do you think about | :48:14. | :48:21. | |
the comedy level? For me, I like it. It's Saturday night entertainment. I | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
want to feel good, I want to have a fun time and he ticks those boxes. | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
You always have a smile on your face. If Radio 1 says male or | :48:30. | :48:36. | |
female, the contestant, it doesn't matter if you go wrong. The people | :48:37. | :48:39. | |
at home don't know the choreography. As long as they are smiling, even | :48:40. | :48:46. | |
though I'm on the wrong foot now... You get your highest marks! LAUGHTER | :48:47. | :48:50. | |
Lesley and Anton are dimming the tango. You danced with Anton in | :48:51. | :48:58. | |
2011, what do you think? I think he's probably quite strict with her. | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
I think Lesley will probably be sometimes and he's not going to give | :49:04. | :49:08. | |
her any kind of leeway. I think she quite likes that because she will | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
rise to the challenge. He wants to win. And he hasn't yet. I think it | :49:13. | :49:17. | |
would be fabulous if Lesley could say, don't you worry, this is the | :49:18. | :49:24. | |
big one for you now! People get behind Anton as much as they get | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
behind the celebrity. She is phenomenal, though. Her energy is so | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
infectious. She is an example to us all. Someone has to go home this | :49:35. | :49:38. | |
weekend so let's see if we can guess who it might be. Who is it curtain | :49:39. | :49:50. | |
time for, Su? This is really dismal. It's so difficult. I don't want it | :49:51. | :49:57. | |
to be Ed. Not Ed. That's an answer. Alex? This is a good game, I don't | :49:58. | :50:06. | |
want it to be Ed either! LAUGHTER I don't want it to be Ed. We thought | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
Lesley for the final but you might have jinxed them. Let's hear it for | :50:12. | :50:16. | |
our Friday panel! No one wants to leave the | :50:17. | :50:27. | |
competition at the weekend. We don't want anyone to go! It's so hard to | :50:28. | :50:43. | |
say goodbye. Take a look at this. The hardest thing about saying | :50:44. | :50:46. | |
goodbye to someone each week is you really get to know and love that | :50:47. | :50:50. | |
person, and really enjoy watching their journey alongside yours. When | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
you put so much effort into something, then to have that | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
stripped away from you and out of your control is really difficult. | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
When somebody who's supported you and you've been close to then | :51:05. | :51:11. | |
suddenly leaves, it's tough. It's horrible, it's a horrible sensation. | :51:12. | :51:18. | |
Somebody you chat, you hug, we hate that side of it. When you get really | :51:19. | :51:23. | |
close to people and you can see their journey to, it's hard because | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
you get emotionally attached everyone. It has to happen each | :51:27. | :51:32. | |
week, it's not going to be nice and we go through it together. It's | :51:33. | :51:38. | |
really sad to see someone though, because we are such a big family. | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
Once you're in this, and you've given it to everything, the last | :51:45. | :51:47. | |
thing you want is for that not to be good enough on the night. That last | :51:48. | :51:53. | |
dance represents the end of their journey which feels pretty sad. It's | :51:54. | :52:02. | |
horrible to see people go. We are a really close group. You know how | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
much they've enjoyed their experience, you know how much | :52:06. | :52:09. | |
everyone wants to stay. We all started this journey together, we've | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
become so close. You never want to see anybody go and it is just so | :52:15. | :52:17. | |
devastating. It's too much for me! Let's head back over | :52:18. | :52:24. | |
to Strictly Towers for our final Gethin update - | :52:25. | :52:26. | |
I hope he's behaving himself. It's getting busy as they prepare | :52:27. | :52:35. | |
for tomorrow night and the big show. This is a good place to find people | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
when they are eating and drinking, watching the others as well. Hello | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
guys! Chilling out, having a biscuit. My goodness. She puts it | :52:46. | :52:51. | |
away, how does she keep that body? She's just genetically superior. Her | :52:52. | :52:59. | |
metabolism is not normal. It's so unfair! What have you been doing | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
since week one? I've been catching up with my old partners. I saw Jake | :53:04. | :53:10. | |
Wood, I saw Melvin. Peter and Emily. It's been really nice. Then we do | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
all the pro-numbers, we're here for the rehearsals on Monday. Still | :53:15. | :53:22. | |
keeping pretty busy. I'm going to ask you about everybody in a | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
session. We haven't seen you since Will decided to leave the show, how | :53:29. | :53:33. | |
have you been? I've been fine, it's been tough but I miss him very much. | :53:34. | :53:40. | |
As long as we have each other and everybody around has been very | :53:41. | :53:43. | |
supportive. I want to support everybody as much as possible. | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
Everyone is saying it such a high standard, do you agree? I wouldn't | :53:49. | :53:54. | |
say anyone is a professional amongst the celebrities. As professionals, | :53:55. | :54:00. | |
has the standard been high? Extremely high. I think we noticed | :54:01. | :54:03. | |
it straightaway in the first rehearsal, we could tell it was | :54:04. | :54:08. | |
going to be an incredible season of dancing. I genuinely cannot call it | :54:09. | :54:14. | |
any week, who's coming to go or stay because every week it feels like | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
they are going up and up and up, with the scores and the dancing. | :54:19. | :54:22. | |
It's an amazing season. What about tomorrow night? Everyone is doing | :54:23. | :54:30. | |
great. I've never seen so many eight and nines in weeks. I don't know. I | :54:31. | :54:40. | |
can't pick. I have my husband in there, my sister-in-law in there. I | :54:41. | :54:45. | |
mean, everybody is in there. And it's really hard because they are | :54:46. | :54:49. | |
doing great. I was having a chat with someone the other day about | :54:50. | :54:53. | |
this, what is the hardest move for a male celeb on Strictly? The Rambus. | :54:54. | :55:07. | |
-- the rumba. Show me this one. It's easier said than done. I might be a | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
while. I might get this by Christmas. See you later. | :55:13. | :55:17. | |
Thanks to my guests and make sure you catch all the action with Tess | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
and Claud as it happens on Strictly tomorrow night at 6.35pm on BBC One. | :55:23. | :55:25. | |
I'll be back on Monday with the next couple to leave the competition, | :55:26. | :55:28. | |
and former Strictly champ Camilla Dellerup will be joining us | :55:29. | :55:30. | |
But now, singing us out with his new single - | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
Wildfire, please give it up for winner of The Voice - | :55:35. | :55:37. | |
# And you expect me darling to talk it out | :55:38. | :55:48. | |
# Holding yesterday cos I'm sick of now | :55:49. | :56:00. | |
# Oh I've been running around for you | :56:01. | :56:07. | |
# I've been screaming like a child for you | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
# That you've been sleeping together now | :56:14. | :56:34. | |
# All you have to do was tell me you'd had enough | :56:35. | :56:51. | |
# Instead of making me feel like I was losing touch | :56:52. | :56:56. | |
# That you've been sleeping together now | :56:57. | :57:33. | |
# You hit me like a cold Monday morning | :57:34. | :57:49. | |
# And kiss me like an old sledgehammer | :57:50. | :57:56. | |
# That you've been sleeping together now | :57:57. | :58:19. | |
# That you've been sleeping together now | :58:20. | :58:43. |
