:05:53. > :05:55.But now he makes snooping around Elstree look as easy
:05:56. > :05:58.as one, two three, it's Gethin - here he was earlier today.
:05:59. > :06:01.I'm behind the scenes at the Strictly ballroom, the pro dancers
:06:02. > :06:06.are about to rehearse their number for tomorrow night, look at them
:06:07. > :06:11.stretching. How are you doing? Are you fresh? Fresh and so clean. Ready
:06:12. > :06:16.to go. Can you tell us about the group jabs? We warm up at the
:06:17. > :06:21.beginning of the routine. It sports day. In the 1920s vintage style, we
:06:22. > :06:30.have Jackie Sacks, wheelbarrow, piggyback. Don't give too much away.
:06:31. > :06:37.It's fine. Who is on the trampoline? Anton. He's a gold medallist in
:06:38. > :06:41.trampoline. I realised where your leg was. That's amazing! Good luck
:06:42. > :06:45.with the Group Dance, catch you later. It's the
:06:46. > :06:51.there are six couples left in the competition. I'll be speaking to
:06:52. > :06:52.them later on. And I'll be taking you to the Strictly Come Dancing
:06:53. > :06:56.headquarters. APPLAUSE It's time now to introduce
:06:57. > :06:58.our Friday panel. Please welcome Strictly
:06:59. > :07:09.super fans Katy APPLAUSE
:07:10. > :07:17.Welcome, my darlings, it's lovely to see you. Katy are you happy with the
:07:18. > :07:24.final six? I'm pretty pleased with the final six. One thing I would say
:07:25. > :07:29.is I Miss Daisy. She was so good. I loved watching Daisy, I had a
:07:30. > :07:33.megawatt smile. It was infectious. Dan, love anew in the mornings. --
:07:34. > :07:42.Agro loving you in the mornings. Do you all support the same people
:07:43. > :07:46.in Strictly in your family? It's changed, at the start we were all
:07:47. > :07:56.for Tameka. Then we switched to Greg and they are both gone now. Last
:07:57. > :08:03.weekend 's... We were firmly in the Louise camp. Does it mean she's
:08:04. > :08:09.going this week? It was the dress, that It Takes Two dress. Eranga, I
:08:10. > :08:15.know you are a super fan but you've had time to watch and write a book.
:08:16. > :08:18.Thank goodness. I have, thank you for mentioning, that's very kind,
:08:19. > :08:25.this is meant to be about Strictly. I didn't know you had a book out.
:08:26. > :08:29.We've all got a book out! It's in all good retailers. It isn't about
:08:30. > :08:35.me, it's about Strictly. Are you enjoying this series? Levelling the
:08:36. > :08:42.series, again, a series... Tameka. Then about whale. Falling in love
:08:43. > :08:48.with Judge Rinder, I want him to be my friend. Falling in love with Ore
:08:49. > :08:50.dance wise. I can't begin to express my love for Ed Balls. He's here
:08:51. > :09:04.tonight. It's as political as I get. Danny
:09:05. > :09:09.and Oti top of the leader board with their charleston last weekend. Can
:09:10. > :09:17.the samba live up to the show stopper from last week? Dancing to a
:09:18. > :09:24.Brazilian classic. I can't pronounce it. Miranda, what are you thinking?
:09:25. > :09:30.As a professional dancer, it looks a little bit manic to me. A bit sort
:09:31. > :09:37.of, what's going on there? The speed of it. I love him, he's amazing, but
:09:38. > :09:40.I'm convinced and I rewind the dancers a lot, I think they were a
:09:41. > :09:50.little bit out of time on their charleston. What?! I would have gone
:09:51. > :09:54.nine. Have you met Oti? She'll be here in a minute. I'm going to have
:09:55. > :10:04.a beady eye this week. Nothing gets under your nose. Katy, who is his
:10:05. > :10:07.biggest threat this weekend? I love watching Danny, he's a very good
:10:08. > :10:13.dancer. His issue in a way is that he's too good. Some people enjoy
:10:14. > :10:16.seeing big improvements week to week. Just to enjoy watching him,
:10:17. > :10:21.it's like watching old Hollywood musicals. The choreography is always
:10:22. > :10:25.amazing, I'm obsessed with Oti's choreography. His biggest threat
:10:26. > :10:33.dance wise is Ore. From a public entertainment point of view, maybe
:10:34. > :10:38.Ed. You're a proper pundit, you are. This, can I talk? City tell test. If
:10:39. > :10:42.you put a tea towel over the top third of the screen. -- for tea
:10:43. > :10:49.towel test. You can't tell he's not professional dancer. We'll be doing
:10:50. > :10:54.that later on. It'll ruin it for everyone else watching. I would
:10:55. > :11:01.prefer a sequin shawl. A tea towel... It's quite drab. A Ghribi
:11:02. > :11:04.one. Is it white and gold or blue and black.
:11:05. > :11:07.Next up is Louise and Kevin, who impressed with their
:11:08. > :11:10.Paso in Blackpool ? tomorrow they're Waltzing.
:11:11. > :11:16.In this dance she has to fall in love with Kevin permits making her
:11:17. > :11:20.giggle. Can you see she's fallen in love with him in this dance? I
:11:21. > :11:24.watched earlier in the week he said she was looking down too much. Every
:11:25. > :11:29.single week she sells the dance, really gets into it. With Louise,
:11:30. > :11:34.not only is she great, looks great, brilliant dancer, she has the
:11:35. > :11:38.Clifton factor. The Clifton factor. Through all that together, they are
:11:39. > :11:43.formidable. You can use that, the Clifton factor. It's a book or a
:11:44. > :11:47.tour. And we have a spin off of a spin off? I don't think she knows
:11:48. > :11:53.how good she is, that's my thing with Louise. Is that good or bad?
:11:54. > :12:06.Very sweet and very quotable. If she knew how good she was, she would
:12:07. > :12:14.fly. -- very good and very Dubai. -- very votable. Ed and Katya, a tango
:12:15. > :12:22.to the Rolling Stones. We can hear it. There it is. Look at him go.
:12:23. > :12:27.Come on, Ed. I'm quite interested in his attire, he seems to be wearing a
:12:28. > :12:34.sleeveless ladies cardigan. It's a floaty... Can you ask him about that
:12:35. > :12:38.later? Ed, is that yours? I'm concerned. Will we be satisfied
:12:39. > :12:48.after this performance? I think we will. You are both in the Balls
:12:49. > :12:52.camp. If you look at TV moments it this year, forget planet Earth,
:12:53. > :12:56.Attenborough, forget you. When they did Gangnam Style, that's one of the
:12:57. > :13:00.TV highlights. If they can get anywhere near that they'll stay
:13:01. > :13:08.another week. I just, yeah... Don't cry. It's indescribable, it's made
:13:09. > :13:11.my year. I've howled, I've laughed, I've applauded. There's not much
:13:12. > :13:18.television that can do that. Not just him, but the choreography is
:13:19. > :13:27.genius. Qatar... That Gangnam Style move. -- Katya. You will be backed
:13:28. > :13:38.later, Friday panel. Now, in honour of Bruno, who turns
:13:39. > :13:41.61 this week, I'm going to read this next link standing up.
:13:42. > :13:43.It's time to introduce the first couple this
:13:44. > :13:46.Quite simply, they towered over the Ballroom
:13:47. > :13:49.like a magnificent Flock of Seagulls,
:13:50. > :13:51.creating waves of thunderous applause.
:13:52. > :14:11.That really was a tip topping show stopper. It's difficult to
:14:12. > :14:16.distinguish who is not the professional dancer now. One word,
:14:17. > :14:33.three syllables, darling, fab-u-lous.
:14:34. > :14:43.APPLAUSE . Hello! The wolf whistles,
:14:44. > :14:54.therefore Danny or Oti? Who knows. Hole. Mac man, the first 40 of the
:14:55. > :14:59.series! Such celebrations. Did you have a little cry later on? I would
:15:00. > :15:02.have done. You know, it really touched me because my Nan was in the
:15:03. > :15:07.audience and to have her there meant the world to me. It was a really
:15:08. > :15:11.special night for one or two other reasons. Wonderful. Oti, did you
:15:12. > :15:15.know you were onto a winner in the training room with this? Thinking,
:15:16. > :15:20.hang on a minute, he's good at this. I had no idea, we had like a moment
:15:21. > :15:25.in rehearsal where we were like, oh my this could be so amazing. But you
:15:26. > :15:30.never really know because you don't go in thinking, I want 40 points,
:15:31. > :15:34.you want to go out there, entertain people and have fun. Somebody who's
:15:35. > :15:39.never done the charleston before. I think we did it. I loved the red
:15:40. > :15:44.jacket. I wonder if anyone asked for a G and T and dry roasted peanuts.
:15:45. > :15:50.If they did I wouldn't have had time to get it. Back in a minute!
:15:51. > :15:59.Darcey said it was difficult to distinguish who was the professional
:16:00. > :16:03.dancer, that had to put a spring in your stuck? Especially sitting next
:16:04. > :16:11.to this professional dancer. What did you think, Oti? It means I did
:16:12. > :16:14.my job right. Such a complicated, intricate routine. What was the
:16:15. > :16:23.trickiest thing for you to master out of all of work? I don't know?
:16:24. > :16:30.What was the trickiest bit? We changed the lifts. It was the lifts.
:16:31. > :16:35.We used to stick to a certain lift all the way to the end and it was
:16:36. > :16:39.the final lift. We tried to stick with it, then the last thing you
:16:40. > :16:44.want a bus to get through the whole routine and their mess it up with
:16:45. > :16:48.the lift that the end. Oti will push me so far to the point where I am
:16:49. > :16:56.not getting something and then, if it is still not working on the last
:16:57. > :17:02.time, then she would change it. I always tell him there is a plan a
:17:03. > :17:10.comet it we have a plan B, it takes away from plan a. We have plan A, we
:17:11. > :17:17.do that and if it doesn't work at the last moment, we will change it.
:17:18. > :17:23.Reluctantly. Do you feel pressure now to maintain that or you can
:17:24. > :17:29.relax now, you have a ten from Craig and we can all go home? I wish.
:17:30. > :17:33.Every dance is an individual challenge, so when you can line it
:17:34. > :17:39.up at the end of your experience here, you can go, that is what I got
:17:40. > :17:44.for each of them. You cannot compete this week's dance with last week. We
:17:45. > :17:55.will do our best. I know you will. It is a samba. That is the music and
:17:56. > :18:03.Oti, that is your favourite dance. You are so good at it. Have you got
:18:04. > :18:07.your own vision on this? I do. Because it has never been done
:18:08. > :18:16.before, I love the tribal bill. Every samba is like Brazil, on the
:18:17. > :18:26.beach with feathers. So, our theme is like celebrating tribal dance in
:18:27. > :18:32.the forests of the Amazon. Sounds incredibly exotic. I saw your
:18:33. > :18:37.costume yesterday, we couldn't believe how small it was, we
:18:38. > :18:39.couldn't get it on the mannequin. It is her favourite comment she made a
:18:40. > :18:49.particularly tough for you this week? It is always tough, but in the
:18:50. > :18:55.best way. The samba has been so detailed and intricate. The meetings
:18:56. > :18:59.I can relate it to is the rumba and the chat chat, which have been
:19:00. > :19:04.evenly spread. There has been a break in between all of them. So
:19:05. > :19:09.when you come back to this one which is so technical, it is hard to pick
:19:10. > :19:15.it up. It feels like it has a tiny bit of everything we have done in
:19:16. > :19:21.it. I was so nervous. I looked at him and went, good luck. I am so
:19:22. > :19:34.sorry, but good luck. How is he doing? Is he getting there? Yes. Has
:19:35. > :19:40.it helped with the Cha Cha Cha. You have not done it since we won oh
:19:41. > :19:49.dear, Oti's has her head in her hands. We have two swap and change
:19:50. > :20:00.with the other partners. He was trying to lead me. I love it when
:20:01. > :20:08.you get mad. Then, after he stopped me he says, what do we do now? This
:20:09. > :20:11.is going to go well. None of you couples are going to hear the music
:20:12. > :20:23.until you are on the floor, so you have no idea of the speed of it. It
:20:24. > :20:27.is terrifying? It is really strange. I can't get it in my head what we
:20:28. > :20:37.have got to do, I don't understand what it is. Communicate. Help me! It
:20:38. > :20:42.is amazing how you can just smile and communicate whilst shouting at
:20:43. > :20:46.here. Good luck with both dances this weekend, you are incredible,
:20:47. > :20:51.Danny and Oti. APPLAUSE
:20:52. > :20:53.Where earlier today Gethin only went and
:20:54. > :20:55.nabbed an exclusive chat with Strictly's
:20:56. > :21:08.I have been given a special pass into the gallery to have a chat with
:21:09. > :21:11.the amazing director of Strictly Come Dancing, Nicky Parsons. Thank
:21:12. > :21:17.you for having us in here I know it is a special place, what do you do
:21:18. > :21:22.exactly? We are in the control room, so during the live show, I am based
:21:23. > :21:28.in here. So everybody feeds back into this room, I am kind of in
:21:29. > :21:32.charge, which makes me a bit scared. There are usually more people in
:21:33. > :21:37.here, but they are having a well-deserved break. Does it get
:21:38. > :21:41.easier throughout the series because otherwise you have 15 dances to
:21:42. > :21:46.direct? In the first few weeks so many dances to get through and the
:21:47. > :21:51.days are really long and the prep takes for ever. But as we lose a
:21:52. > :21:56.couple every week on a easier, but then we end up going to Blackpool,
:21:57. > :22:02.children in need special, Christmas Special. So it never really get
:22:03. > :22:07.easier. You are doing the Christmas Special, make sure I look nice. You
:22:08. > :22:15.also have a Group Dance, is that a challenge, so many things to see?
:22:16. > :22:18.The most challenging thing on the programme is the Greek dances. What
:22:19. > :22:22.you don't see is the most challenging part, so it is the
:22:23. > :22:26.choreography of the cameras and the choreography of the prop smoothing
:22:27. > :22:31.on and off the floor. People darting about out of shot. It would be
:22:32. > :22:35.brilliant to see a wide shot and all these people running in and out and
:22:36. > :22:40.it is my job to make sure you don't see that on television. A lot of it
:22:41. > :22:45.is shown to dance to its best, but hiding everything else at the same
:22:46. > :22:48.time. You have been doing this show 11 years, why do you love it so
:22:49. > :22:55.much? It is proper family entertainment. I love people going
:22:56. > :23:00.to me, what is going on on Strictly. The team have been here for such a
:23:01. > :23:05.long time, we are like a big family. It certainly is like a family. There
:23:06. > :23:14.are so many buttons to press on here, what happens if I press number
:23:15. > :23:23.nine. Put it on a low light, it will be ready when I get home. Sorry, my
:23:24. > :23:26.teenage son. If you thought Gangnam Style couldn't be top, you were
:23:27. > :23:28.wrong. How about being lowered
:23:29. > :23:30.into the Tower All in a night's work for this pair
:23:31. > :23:46.of firecrackers, it's You came down there and you made it
:23:47. > :24:13.rocked. It looked like a jive. You are committed.
:24:14. > :24:16.Ed Balls approaches and we bow before him. That was an amazing
:24:17. > :24:23.move. It was a Cha Cha. Great Balls of Fire -
:24:24. > :24:26.surely Jerry Lee Lewis sang that song
:24:27. > :24:36.with you in mind? It was an incredible performance,
:24:37. > :24:42.everything we hoped it could be. The whole team of dances as well as
:24:43. > :24:51.Katia, the dance really came to life. Up there on the piano on the
:24:52. > :25:04.ceiling, it was a special thing. And it caught fire. You are so hot.
:25:05. > :25:09.Smoking. I loved the quiff, by the way. We loved your frock. The piano
:25:10. > :25:11.is on fire, the dance is on fire. Sadly you didn't quite set
:25:12. > :25:14.the leaderboard alight. Why are the judges not rewarding
:25:15. > :25:24.Ed with higher marks? Every week we are at the bottom of
:25:25. > :25:29.the Leader Board. There was one week we were not just to be clear. We
:25:30. > :25:42.don't mind, as long as people love it. We loved doing that routine.
:25:43. > :25:50.We would like to get a seven from Craig and we would like to get to
:25:51. > :25:58.30. There is more to do in terms of the scores. You do work very hard.
:25:59. > :26:04.Craig did describe you as a city is. It means showing great care and
:26:05. > :26:22.perseverance. I guess that is positive. Yes Kyle Abbott he gave us
:26:23. > :26:28.four. How was it for you, Katya, winning championships? Lots of
:26:29. > :26:36.memories at Blackpool, but firstly we never came down on the piano. It
:26:37. > :26:40.was very different, totally different and it made my first year
:26:41. > :26:49.special to be able to get there. Wonderful. Thank you for that. You
:26:50. > :26:55.have been given a bit of a hard time this week, some people saying you
:26:56. > :27:00.should have gone. You have dealt with it so graciously, hats off to.
:27:01. > :27:03.How are you feeling about back? We are looking forward to the next
:27:04. > :27:07.dance and trying to do our best every week. I was not the best
:27:08. > :27:13.dancer in the beginning, I have never done it before. I wasn't the
:27:14. > :27:18.youngest, but we are trying very hard, trying to get better every
:27:19. > :27:22.week, trying to entertain. Katya's choreography is great. But every
:27:23. > :27:27.week, the public want me to come back.
:27:28. > :27:36.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE You are bringing us so much joy.
:27:37. > :27:44.This week is a T, I Can't Get No Satisfaction. How much satisfaction
:27:45. > :27:56.are we going to get? It is looking really good. It is a bit wild. To be
:27:57. > :28:03.clear, the thing I was wearing was Katya's cardigan. We did wonder
:28:04. > :28:10.about back. She had this big, fluffy coat. It is a jacket that will be
:28:11. > :28:20.throw off so it is quite a mix we are doing tomorrow. The Rolling
:28:21. > :28:32.Stones, I Can't Get No Satisfaction. I am also being a male model. It
:28:33. > :28:38.includes a catwalk challenge. It doesn't get any better. Something
:28:39. > :28:44.else rather brilliance, because we are spying on you at all times. We
:28:45. > :28:57.have noticed Katya is a bit bossy in training, just a little bit. One,
:28:58. > :29:05.two, down. Over, over. Six, seven. Six, open on six. You are cementing
:29:06. > :29:12.your reputation as the most bossy person on Strictly Come Dancing
:29:13. > :29:20.2016. Increase the arms. Look past my ear. Sometimes you are telling me
:29:21. > :29:22.things, doesn't necessarily mean I have heard them. The most bossy
:29:23. > :29:37.ever. Somebody said it's about getting
:29:38. > :29:39.results. It's working. Good luck with your dancers tomorrow night. We
:29:40. > :29:46.adore you, Ed and Katya! Right, time now to
:29:47. > :29:48.see how Ore Joanne and Louise Kevin
:29:49. > :29:58.have been getting on The Walt 's for me is a really tough
:29:59. > :30:03.dance for some reason, I think it's because you have to just stay in
:30:04. > :30:11.position. I think I like to go rogue and do my own thing sometimes. --
:30:12. > :30:14.the Waltz. It's not flashy, there are technical aspects we have to get
:30:15. > :30:19.right that will be very exposed. Trying to push things to as quickly
:30:20. > :30:22.as possible with Louise. I'm not running it till it feels
:30:23. > :30:25.comfortable, that I can feel I'm in the right position and feel I'm in
:30:26. > :30:30.the wrong position, because right now it's blurring into one.
:30:31. > :30:37.We are all about the paso and there's something about this dance
:30:38. > :30:44.that makes you get on the edge of your seat. This is going to be a
:30:45. > :30:51.little bit of a challenge, so we really, really need to work hard.
:30:52. > :30:57.There is pressure, I think, to make sure this paso stands out. How,
:30:58. > :30:59.we'll leave that up to Jo, I'm just here for the ride but I cannot wait.
:31:00. > :31:05.Amazing! Look at you! Now, like the long-awaited
:31:06. > :31:08.thawing of a great woolly mammoth
:31:09. > :31:10.in a Siberian ice tomb, my next guest
:31:11. > :31:12.finally got out his ten It was complete and absolute
:31:13. > :31:55.disaster, darling! Whatever! They are really nasty,
:31:56. > :32:00.then normally quite nice. As camp entrances go that was pretty
:32:01. > :32:08.spectacular. You've thought, ice maiden, he gave his first ten. Well
:32:09. > :32:11.done. I know, then I looked back at the Tate, darling, and saw something
:32:12. > :32:17.wrong. I didn't see it on the night. You know what even that was one
:32:18. > :32:24.small little hand action thing. It was so incredible. It had to be ten,
:32:25. > :32:28.there was no doubt. If I had 9.9 It Takes Two it probably would have
:32:29. > :32:32.been that. As I had to ten, it was so close, I had to do it, absolutely
:32:33. > :32:36.brilliant. Do you know which point in the dance it ten? When I stop
:32:37. > :32:43.writing, when I'm just involved in the dance completely and thinking,
:32:44. > :32:48.oh my goodness, that is amazing. I mean, the syncopation, the timing of
:32:49. > :32:52.everything was just exceptional. And totally on a professional level, I
:32:53. > :32:59.mean, really stunning. I feel quite emotional. I'm really scared for him
:33:00. > :33:04.tomorrow now. He has to follow that. I wouldn't like to. We have a fact
:33:05. > :33:09.involving Craig. It's only the second time is given a ten before
:33:10. > :33:21.week nine. Last time was in a series seven.
:33:22. > :33:32.It was stunning, so elegant as a couple. Gorgeous. They ended up in a
:33:33. > :33:37.relationship, didn't they? I don't think they are in it any more. Sadly
:33:38. > :33:48.that failed. Lot have worked out, though. They have! Moving on...
:33:49. > :33:55.Don't mention the war, darling. The other feel good news is you haven't
:33:56. > :34:04.shown your number one paddle. I know! Is there any chance you might
:34:05. > :34:08.be over marking? I did think that when the balls were coming out for
:34:09. > :34:15.Ed Balls. I gave him six, its getting up there. He would really
:34:16. > :34:20.love seven. I'm sure he would. It could happen. Miracles. We've seen
:34:21. > :34:23.lots of things. We've had We've had the Quicksteppathon,
:34:24. > :34:37.the Swingathon and the now all we have the
:34:38. > :34:40.cha-cha-challenge. The judges have to confer. Do you get testy with
:34:41. > :34:45.each other because it goes quickly? It does, it's quite alarming how
:34:46. > :34:48.quickly we have to do it. We are fighting over one couple, only
:34:49. > :34:52.because we put the couples there, then scoot them out. We have little
:34:53. > :34:58.cards, throwing them in because you can't hear a thing. Everyone is
:34:59. > :35:04.cheering. Complete chaos, and you're trying to watch the floor. And
:35:05. > :35:08.someone is over there. Len and I rarely see eye to eye but through
:35:09. > :35:13.that we really mucked in together and listen to Len and go for it. The
:35:14. > :35:20.majority rules. I quite like seeing the squabble. It is a democracy.
:35:21. > :35:23.It's done well for us this year. Last time you were here some of you
:35:24. > :35:30.well-known friends said questions in a special edition of Ask Craig. Now
:35:31. > :35:31.it's the turn of our lovely viewers. So many questions, let's scoot
:35:32. > :35:33.through. Darcie, age 10, wants to know:
:35:34. > :35:47.what are your three top tips Well, talent, darling. Number one.
:35:48. > :35:52.Getting the dance right, number two. And enjoying it, having fun and
:35:53. > :35:53.making the dance live, which is to the acting, that's essential and
:35:54. > :35:54.key. Liz Fox would like to know:
:35:55. > :35:57.does it annoy you that the other judges never score below
:35:58. > :36:11.a very occasional four? Yes. We have paddles, ranging 1-10.
:36:12. > :36:16.And I like using the ones below four. I know you do. There are much
:36:17. > :36:19.more interesting. Their reaction is always priced that. Sturridge
:36:20. > :36:22.priceless. Now, Emma AKA Little Miss Devon
:36:23. > :36:25.wants to know: if you could have partnered any celebrity
:36:26. > :36:31.from any series, That is a good question, I think I
:36:32. > :36:37.would like to do either the jive with Jill Halfpenny... So good.
:36:38. > :36:41.Anything really with Gethin Jones. I know you're listening, Gethin!
:36:42. > :36:48.Darling. My gym buddy from years ago. There's a lot actually. Maybe
:36:49. > :36:53.an Argentine tango, I think that would be fun. It's a shame you're
:36:54. > :36:59.going off because we could have got you and Gethin dancing. I know, we
:37:00. > :37:08.could have done an Argentine tango. I'm playing Hook, darling. You're
:37:09. > :37:13.playing Hook? Oh no you're not. Oh yes I am. It's taking up too much
:37:14. > :37:20.air time. Thank you so much for coming on. You've been a sensation
:37:21. > :37:29.this series. APPLAUSE Craig Revel Horwood! Thank you. You
:37:30. > :37:35.can't boo him, he's a goodie really. Time to catch up with Craig's new
:37:36. > :37:38.dance partner, Gethin in Elstree. Blackpool is so last week, we're at
:37:39. > :37:44.Elstree with some of the stars of the show. Can I ask you, Judge, it's
:37:45. > :37:46.week ten, bit of a landmark week. Let's go back, what were your
:37:47. > :37:50.expectations coming into the show, did you think you would get this
:37:51. > :37:56.far? I don't thing we thought of it like that, you kind of prepare each
:37:57. > :38:00.week. You don't think. There is not time or energy. I can't say what my
:38:01. > :38:05.expectations were but I'm glad to be here. I loved Blackpool, I did. We
:38:06. > :38:11.couldn't tell by your face at all. You couldn't, could you, it was
:38:12. > :38:15.overwhelming. Next week is, dare I say, a journey in respect of each
:38:16. > :38:18.dance. I don't think you have expectations beyond the dance at the
:38:19. > :38:22.end. Think about the next week. You've talked a lot about hip
:38:23. > :38:25.action, so important for the Rumble, how is it looking 24 hours before
:38:26. > :38:32.the show? The hips are there, moving, I'm trying to give
:38:33. > :38:42.directions to move where. We're working a lock on technique and the
:38:43. > :38:47.rumba will be great. It's my chest, I've been walking around all week.
:38:48. > :38:52.You were in the bottom two last week, have you come back fighting
:38:53. > :38:56.this week? When we went back to the training room I said to AJ, I want
:38:57. > :39:00.to just enjoy even more than what I was before, we've worked so hard on
:39:01. > :39:06.the technique and AJ has been like, technique, technique all the time.
:39:07. > :39:09.The footwork has been so critical. Sounds like you've been giving him a
:39:10. > :39:11.hard time you posted a picture with you on the floor shattered. It's
:39:12. > :39:17.your first Argentine tango. That's mad. First time I've done the
:39:18. > :39:20.Argentine tango and the lifts are crazy so we've been doing it again
:39:21. > :39:26.and again until I literally can't stand, as the photo showed. It is
:39:27. > :39:31.difficult. You're an athlete, how is the fitness? Does it start feeling,
:39:32. > :39:34.do you start feeling tired? I do feel really tired at this point, the
:39:35. > :39:38.lifts are getting harder. Even though I've got a strong core, one
:39:39. > :39:43.of the lifts I'm struggling to keep my legs up. It's really hard. I love
:39:44. > :39:50.how you're walking funny, you're walking stranger. Best of luck with
:39:51. > :39:53.the rumba and the Argentine tango. Some big fans of Claudia in from
:39:54. > :40:01.Bristol to Mai. They've gone quiet now. If you tuned in yesterday you
:40:02. > :40:04.would have seen the launch of the Strictly pro challenge 2016. If you
:40:05. > :40:09.didn't come here is everything you need to know.
:40:10. > :40:15.The Strictly Pro Challenge is back, and bigger than ever. This year our
:40:16. > :40:19.pros are going to attempt to set a Guinness world record for the most
:40:20. > :40:26.jive kicks and flicks in 30 seconds. Judging alongside me will be top
:40:27. > :40:32.choreographer Richard Marcel and Guinness world record adjudicator
:40:33. > :40:35.Emma Davies. The kick and click is a quintessential jive step that
:40:36. > :40:41.requires a lot of energy and conviction. We'll be looking for
:40:42. > :40:45.strong, pointed kicks with a fast retraction and the feet returning to
:40:46. > :40:48.the floor after the flick. If they don't bring the foot back to the
:40:49. > :40:53.resting position, the step will be disqualified. This is going to be a
:40:54. > :40:58.challenge of energy and endurance. There can only be one champion. So
:40:59. > :41:01.they need to make every step count. Welcome to the Strictly Pro
:41:02. > :41:08.Challenge 2016! That's welcome the next contender
:41:09. > :41:12.fresh from scoring the first 40 of the series with her partner Danny
:41:13. > :41:16.Mac, Coogee Beach on a roll? It's Oti Mabuse! Service could she be on
:41:17. > :41:28.a -- could she be on a roll? Ore, you
:41:29. > :41:32.are a Newby. When you heard the term Pro Challenge what did you think you
:41:33. > :41:35.are getting involved in? I was so excited, I always wanted to do
:41:36. > :41:41.Strictly. This is one of the things that would come up from It Takes
:41:42. > :41:47.Two, when I got to do it I was like, yes. I was excited. How did you feel
:41:48. > :41:51.when you found out it was jive kicks and flicks. Not so happy because
:41:52. > :41:57.that week we had the jive. Danny and Oti were doing ice bath is every
:41:58. > :41:59.single day because our legs were so heavy. Service Danny and I were
:42:00. > :42:03.doing. When you get in there you really
:42:04. > :42:17.bring it. Let's see how you got on. I've never attempted in my life to
:42:18. > :42:18.set any record, though so I'm really excited, because it's the first
:42:19. > :42:28.time, let's see how it goes, I'm hoping for the
:42:29. > :42:32.best. Hello, Oti, welcome to the Pro Challenge. You are one of the newest
:42:33. > :42:36.pros, do you have tactics? And going to stick to the rules, Titan Michael
:42:37. > :42:43.Hoare and go as fast as I can. Good luck and take your position on the
:42:44. > :42:45.floor. -- Titan might call. I'm going to count you in for the
:42:46. > :43:23.record. Three, two, one... Go. Stop. That's horrible! You did well.
:43:24. > :43:27.It was only 30 seconds, what's wrong with you, I thought dancers worth
:43:28. > :43:31.it. I thought I was fit, too, apparently not. You held your
:43:32. > :43:37.technique and went really fast with that. Really focused on it. I think
:43:38. > :43:41.you're going to get a good result. Thank you. Because you are going so
:43:42. > :43:45.fast and have to control it, it's quite difficult. I underestimated
:43:46. > :43:47.it. I even did it in my Latin shoes because I thought it would be so
:43:48. > :43:57.easy, but it was great fun. I love it, only halfway, you're
:43:58. > :44:03.like, we're only halfway? How do you think you did? I do not know, I'm so
:44:04. > :44:09.nervous. I think because I looked back and I complained to the whole
:44:10. > :44:15.thing. I couldn't stop moaning. It's OK. You focused on tightening your
:44:16. > :44:18.call. How important is that? Very important especially for girls and
:44:19. > :44:22.dancers, we have really long legs and arms so when you use your
:44:23. > :44:30.stomach muscles you can control everything. -- tightening the core.
:44:31. > :44:35.That is how we get the speed. I'm trying to hold in my tummy. I wish I
:44:36. > :44:39.could do that. I like cake. After each professional had made the
:44:40. > :44:41.attempt of footage was watched by adjudicator is in slow motion to
:44:42. > :44:45.verify every single want to make sure they were accurate. Looking
:44:46. > :44:51.back could you see mistakes? I would never admit it. LAUGHTER
:44:52. > :44:58.I love her! Let's look at the leader board. Aljaz at the top. 52. It's
:44:59. > :44:59.the score to beat. Let's put you out of your misery, time for the moment
:45:00. > :45:28.of truth. Oti, you managed... I can reveal you had eight
:45:29. > :45:36.disqualified. I am so sorry, giving you a total of 49. I hated doing
:45:37. > :45:51.that to you. Second on the Leader Board. Who is the biggest threat to
:45:52. > :46:03.Ali Jazz? Katya is a fireball. We love you. Oti, good luck tomorrow.
:46:04. > :46:21.So cruel, building her up and dragging her down.
:46:22. > :46:27.I think my toughest moment was at the beginning waiting to start my
:46:28. > :46:36.waltz and thinking, what are you doing? When we did our first dance,
:46:37. > :46:43.the judges' comments were about my choreography and I felt I had let
:46:44. > :46:47.Ore down. It felt 1 million miles away from any kind of dancing I had
:46:48. > :46:53.ever done before. To see Judge Rinder being disappointed at
:46:54. > :46:59.something, because I always want to be there for him. Being in the dance
:47:00. > :47:04.off was heartbreaking and going against one of your best friends,
:47:05. > :47:08.that was the worst thing. The Viennese waltz, I didn't think I
:47:09. > :47:14.could do it until the Friday. It just clicked and then became a
:47:15. > :47:28.really special dance. The toughest moments have always created the most
:47:29. > :47:39.amazing one. My best moment so far was I was able to dance with
:47:40. > :47:51.Claudia. It is like nothing I can describe.
:47:52. > :48:02.It felt like we were dancing as a couple.
:48:03. > :48:15.The Argentine tango, I think that is the week Luiz really came out of
:48:16. > :48:17.herself. show. I had no idea that she would give me such an incredible
:48:18. > :48:33.time. Time to talk about the rest of our
:48:34. > :48:40.couples. Welcome back Katy Brand, Dan and Miranda. Talking about Ore
:48:41. > :48:47.and Joanne. Not too far behind Danny and Oti last weekend. Have impressed
:48:48. > :48:51.where you with their Viennese waltz? I did really enjoy it. In times gone
:48:52. > :48:55.by when I did the Strictly Christmas Special I did the Viennese waltz,
:48:56. > :48:58.it's harder than it looks. That long spin they did in the middle I
:48:59. > :49:04.actually thought it was a live version of buffering. I thought
:49:05. > :49:11.Strictly was loading. And you heard Rian Joanne buffering. With a little
:49:12. > :49:18.kick. There you go, refresh. They are brilliant, amazing. You know Ore
:49:19. > :49:23.very well, you work with him, he's a bit of a softy. Is he going to be
:49:24. > :49:26.tough enough to be that Matador and owned the floor? Definitely, he's a
:49:27. > :49:32.brilliant actor. He's been spectacular. Everyone felt he'd be
:49:33. > :49:35.good but I don't think we thought he would be quite as good as he would
:49:36. > :49:45.be. I find it hard to talk to him without getting emotional, though.
:49:46. > :49:48.You're making me cry again! His Viennese waltz has had an effect on
:49:49. > :49:53.all of us. He's a guaranteed finalist isn't he, he's got to
:49:54. > :49:59.there. Hang on a bit, uncertainty in the crowd! Some polling this year...
:50:00. > :50:05.You cannot rely on polling. Strictly is the only electoral reality I will
:50:06. > :50:10.acknowledge, my entire reality now. What will happen? Cloudy and Ajay
:50:11. > :50:14.Argentine tango for this week. Last week pom-poms and ponytails. This
:50:15. > :50:26.week, cry me a River, Justin Timberlake. And the intricacy of the
:50:27. > :50:37.gun show. I do love a cultural marks. I minced score miss Vincent
:50:38. > :50:40.and flabby. We all do. I think it could be really good. They were
:50:41. > :50:46.talking about the different height thing, that they could kick each
:50:47. > :50:53.other. In unfortunate areas. I didn't go there. Took the words from
:50:54. > :51:07.your mouth. They are like Sylvania and families dancing. That's very
:51:08. > :51:15.Dubai. Judge Rinder and Oksana... -- that's very heightist. Can Judge
:51:16. > :51:22.Rinder handle a sensual dance? Saying it like I would on your show.
:51:23. > :51:36.He looks quite good here. I am a bit worried about him in the
:51:37. > :51:42.Rumba. He is quite British, quite embarrassed. I don't know. I love
:51:43. > :51:47.him. I am worried about him in the rumba and I thought he might be in a
:51:48. > :51:54.risky place. I think he will be all right, because if you ask the
:51:55. > :51:56.general public to name the six people who have left, he is
:51:57. > :52:22.definitely high up on the list. Who is going home this weekend? Much
:52:23. > :52:25.as I hate to say it, I worried that Claudia is in trouble. I think it
:52:26. > :52:53.will be Claudia as well. It is head Danny, heart balls. The
:52:54. > :53:08.Walker family are going to go team Redknapp. We need Ed Balls to win.
:53:09. > :53:17.Now to our final Gethin update. Natalie, Giovanni and Ali jazz score
:53:18. > :53:22.Janette. Let's start with you, your first week without competition on
:53:23. > :53:34.Saturday. How has it been? It is a bit sad. We have been in rehearsals
:53:35. > :53:39.all week for the Group Dance. Alijaz, how fast are your feet, you
:53:40. > :53:51.could win it. It is the hardest thing I have ever done, the most
:53:52. > :54:00.things I have done. What did you do, two? Six couples left, who do we
:54:01. > :54:04.support? All of them. All of them. Everyone has a chance, it comes down
:54:05. > :54:10.to the music and the choreography. Sitting on the fence as always.
:54:11. > :54:15.Everyone is looking for the coveted ten. I will give you ten seconds to
:54:16. > :54:26.answer as many questions as you can. Alijaz you have the stopwatch. Are
:54:27. > :54:35.you ready? Kickball change auto elite? Kickball change. Dancing
