:05:20. > :05:22.Congratulations on their Christmas number one album, amazing, and they
:05:23. > :05:27.will be back later in the show. Until then, help yourself to some
:05:28. > :05:31.men's prize to celebrate. Now it's time to introduce our first
:05:32. > :05:36.finalists. Topping the Leader Board more than anyone else, this couple
:05:37. > :05:41.has dazzled with breathtaking choreography. From old Hollywood to
:05:42. > :05:47.the Amazon jungle, we have loved every step. Take a look at Danny and
:05:48. > :05:53.Oti's Strictly story. Danny boy, ready to meet your new
:05:54. > :05:59.partner? I can't wait. It is Oti. She is brilliant, I'm ready, bring
:06:00. > :06:03.it on. It was packed full of everything and more. Last week went
:06:04. > :06:14.better than we could have have hoped so the pressure is on.
:06:15. > :06:21.It was a modern twist on a traditional dance which I enjoyed
:06:22. > :06:29.very much. I have got a cap, I come prepared.
:06:30. > :06:33.I'm really is road. The timing and the shaping, the lines, they were
:06:34. > :06:43.absolutely excellent. Four week three, this is amazing!
:06:44. > :06:48.I'm buzzing, I'm so happy. I really am enjoying dancing more
:06:49. > :06:55.than I ever thought. It is life changing. I love it, I love it, I
:06:56. > :07:01.love it! Danny Mac, you are on fire, darling!
:07:02. > :07:05.Since I was a kid, I wanted to dress like this and dance like that and I
:07:06. > :07:11.was skewed -- to try so that was the most amazing feeling.
:07:12. > :07:17.It was a masculine performance. You are consistently excellent, well
:07:18. > :07:20.done! This week has been quite a
:07:21. > :07:26.roller-coaster. I don't understand! It is really
:07:27. > :07:30.hard to accept that you can't do something when you no previous
:07:31. > :07:39.routines have gone so well. No?
:07:40. > :07:44.I thought it was great, it is a real shame it went horribly wrong.
:07:45. > :07:49.It was a good lesson to learn, things can go wrong but it is about
:07:50. > :07:55.how you deal with that that matters. Six, seven, eight... What are you
:07:56. > :08:02.laughing at? I knew it was that. You keep laughing at me!
:08:03. > :08:09.Baby, that was good! Full of content and speed and energy. Danny Mac, you
:08:10. > :08:19.are back! An amazing ten! We got ten! Yes!
:08:20. > :08:23.The clarity of movement throughout that dance, I thought it was
:08:24. > :08:31.brilliant! I'm so excited, the routine could be
:08:32. > :08:34.a show stopper if we get it right. It is actually difficult to
:08:35. > :08:43.distinguish who is not the professional dancer now.
:08:44. > :08:53.That is the most incredible feeling ever!
:08:54. > :08:59.Go, Danny! Go, Danny! Your hip action, we never get that
:09:00. > :09:08.Ten! Ten! That is the first 40 in
:09:09. > :09:12.Strictly history for a samba. Every moment of the dance was under
:09:13. > :09:19.your control. He with the leading man tonight. -- you were the leading
:09:20. > :09:25.man tonight. This incredibly talented girl took
:09:26. > :09:31.this guy on and believed she could teach him how to dance. Smile about
:09:32. > :09:36.it because you are on strip we Come Dancing! And what I have done
:09:37. > :09:39.because of her week after week, I still can't believe it is me doing
:09:40. > :09:47.that. Absolutely amazing! She is the most
:09:48. > :09:55.incredible person, the most amazing dancer and it would mean the world
:09:56. > :10:02.to me to be able to give her that. Danny and Oti.
:10:03. > :10:08.You've got through to the Grand Final! Strictly is everything I
:10:09. > :10:14.expected it to be and more, so much more.
:10:15. > :10:29.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Danny and Oti! Danny, welcome, it is
:10:30. > :10:33.going to be an emotional show today. The glitter box dishes at the ready!
:10:34. > :10:39.How does it feel watching that back? Nobody told me that was going to
:10:40. > :10:46.happen. It is just incredible to see. To see what we have gone
:10:47. > :10:50.through in the last three months. You can't explain this experience. I
:10:51. > :10:55.have always said it has got better and better, but it is the best
:10:56. > :11:01.experience of my life, I have loved every single second. And just to see
:11:02. > :11:04.it in the video, it is strange because it is so lovely like that.
:11:05. > :11:13.But you know what you have gone through. You know how many weeks. It
:11:14. > :11:17.is ours and ours. It has been enjoyed it even when it was hard, I
:11:18. > :11:23.have loved the difficulty and the challenges. The emotional times have
:11:24. > :11:27.been great, we have taken so much from it, for so many reasons. It
:11:28. > :11:34.gets to me. I will never forget it, I love it and I love you.
:11:35. > :11:37.It is just brilliant. Oti, Danny has been consistently good since the
:11:38. > :11:42.first week but he has got better and better. How much has he improved in
:11:43. > :11:50.your eyes over this time? We train so hard. We train all day long. We
:11:51. > :11:56.start at 9am and we believe the studio at ten p.m.. That is a lot of
:11:57. > :12:01.work. People do not get to see it. He just goes out and he puts it on.
:12:02. > :12:06.But from Monday to the Saturday is a lot of hard work. And he puts
:12:07. > :12:11.everything into it. And I could not have asked for a better partner, a
:12:12. > :12:14.better person to go through this experience with because you've been
:12:15. > :12:19.amazing. It is a beautiful thing! You've been
:12:20. > :12:24.with each other every day for the last three months, what will you
:12:25. > :12:30.miss most about those days together training? For me, I'm going to miss,
:12:31. > :12:34.Oti as a person is fantastic, great to be around and she has taught me
:12:35. > :12:38.so much and a lot of bout myself and I have realised a lot about myself
:12:39. > :12:43.which is great. I'm going to miss learning. I came to learn something.
:12:44. > :12:47.I haven't stopped learning every single day. Not just the dancing,
:12:48. > :12:52.that has been a big part of it, but learning about myself and her and
:12:53. > :12:57.her life and her family, everything. Oti is a remarkable person. She is
:12:58. > :13:01.an incredible dancer and everybody sees that. Even just as a person and
:13:02. > :13:07.human being. You would not believe the person she is and what she is
:13:08. > :13:12.capable of, it is amazing. I know, she is! You have your friends and
:13:13. > :13:18.family behind you all the way. On this journey, first use of that
:13:19. > :13:22.word! Look at this, Danny. Danny as my son was just the best
:13:23. > :13:28.and I'm not just saying that as his mum, he is a really good boy. He was
:13:29. > :13:34.always as good as Gold. Lively and full of life and lovely. When Danny
:13:35. > :13:37.said he was taking part in Strictly, I was really shocked, seeing him for
:13:38. > :13:43.who he is and not hiding behind a character, I thought it would be the
:13:44. > :13:47.biggest challenge for him. On his first stands, he absolutely nailed
:13:48. > :13:52.it! I never, never expected my Danny to
:13:53. > :13:57.go out and do that. My favourite dance was in Blackpool when he did
:13:58. > :14:01.the Charleston and he got a perfect 40. He is such a perfectionist and
:14:02. > :14:05.he always strives for that perfect score so to finally get it,
:14:06. > :14:10.everybody was over the moon. We are so proud of him, he is doing
:14:11. > :14:15.us proud. He don't realise how good he is. I'm just blown away, I can't
:14:16. > :14:19.believe what he is doing. Never in a million years did I
:14:20. > :14:24.thought my Danny was be on Strictly. You can't beat seeing your kids
:14:25. > :14:31.happy and he is really happy. We are so proud of you, do your best
:14:32. > :14:38.and we are all rooting for you! We love you, Danny! We hope you win
:14:39. > :14:43.Strictly and good luck! I love you! I love you to bits and you are the
:14:44. > :14:52.best song ever. And we are also proud of you.
:14:53. > :14:55.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Danny, what has the support from
:14:56. > :15:00.your lovely friends and family, how has that spurred you on? I'm so
:15:01. > :15:03.lucky to have the most amazing friends and family. All my life,
:15:04. > :15:07.they've been there through everything. And to share this
:15:08. > :15:11.experience with them, which is what I have tried to do as much as
:15:12. > :15:16.possible, it has been brilliant. I do not know how you got them to talk
:15:17. > :15:20.on camera, they hate it, my mum would have been scared stiff. What
:15:21. > :15:22.is so beautiful is I know which she means what she says and she was so
:15:23. > :15:37.relaxed talking about it. What would it mean for to you win
:15:38. > :15:41.Strictly tomorrow? I want to answer this one first. For me, I have had
:15:42. > :15:44.the best time getting through to this point now, to have the
:15:45. > :15:48.experiences more than I could have dreamed of but this was the full
:15:49. > :15:55.dream. This was T all of the dances all the way to the final show, it is
:15:56. > :15:59.done. I honest to God, would only want to win that glitterball for
:16:00. > :16:03.this girl next to me because to see her lift it, because of everything
:16:04. > :16:07.she has given me, that's all I can give her back. I think you have
:16:08. > :16:13.given her an awful lot. Good luck to. I say you have blown your minds
:16:14. > :16:16.week after week. Amazing choreography and brilliant dancing.
:16:17. > :16:21.Good luck tomorrow. Danny and Oti, everyone.
:16:22. > :16:24.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Now, it wouldn't be a Strictly final
:16:25. > :16:27.without a grand opening number. Here is how our pros plan on getting the
:16:28. > :16:37.party started. Hi, It Takes Two. Welcome to the
:16:38. > :16:42.final. Rehearsals. But it is not all tears, because
:16:43. > :16:49.this week we've got an absolutely explosive opening number.
:16:50. > :16:55.Today we have been creating the big opening number to open the show.
:16:56. > :17:03.High energy, high octane. Massive party. Hopefully we'll get the show
:17:04. > :17:08.off on the right track. You will find all kinds of styles. Jive,
:17:09. > :17:12.Latin, high energy. It is a massive celebration of the whole season. A
:17:13. > :17:15.great way to start the party. The song is When Love Takes Over. A
:17:16. > :17:22.party song. Everyone will get involved. The audience will be up on
:17:23. > :17:26.their feet clapping. It is absolutely amazing, lots of turns
:17:27. > :17:30.and lifts and a little surprise at the end. We are trying to make the
:17:31. > :17:35.number a showcase. Not only of lots of different styles but of ever
:17:36. > :17:40.every dancer. Perfect for the final of Strictly Come Dancing, 2016. We
:17:41. > :17:44.all love coming to Elstree when it is empty, no-one but us here and It
:17:45. > :17:49.Takes Two. I think we're all going to miss it. It is really bitter
:17:50. > :17:55.sweet today doing one of the last group numbers.
:17:56. > :18:03.Well done to all our professional dancers and the choreographers, we
:18:04. > :18:10.adore them all. Time to welcome my final Friday Panel of the series.
:18:11. > :18:11.Put your hands together for Alfie Boe, Chelsea Healy and Michael Ball.
:18:12. > :18:28.APPLAUSE. Are you all right there, Alfie. You
:18:29. > :18:31.look like you might fall off. Congratulations boys on your number
:18:32. > :18:38.1. How exciting. Unbelievable. Thank you. Where will you be watching the
:18:39. > :18:43.final tomorrow, Michael? I think you where I'm going to be, I think I
:18:44. > :18:53.might be with you. And perhaps with... With Miranda, we're having a
:18:54. > :18:58.party. . And Jeremy Vine. Are you happy with the final three, Alfie? I
:18:59. > :19:04.couldn't be happier. They have showed their amazing skills. It is
:19:05. > :19:14.fantastic. And my Kate is in it, Kev. Brother from another mother, of
:19:15. > :19:18.course. Tabb Chelsee, you have been in their shoes. How is the night
:19:19. > :19:23.before, do you sleep? Association, no, I think you are just in this
:19:24. > :19:26.zone. It's mad. It's the most scariest thing I have ever been
:19:27. > :19:30.through. I cannot imagine how they are feeling right now. I'm scared
:19:31. > :19:34.for them. But I think it's just so much pressure because this is what
:19:35. > :19:38.we have been leading up to, all that hard work and it's all down to
:19:39. > :19:46.tomorrow. Yes, it is a scary time. It is a scary time. Let's look at
:19:47. > :19:52.them all in deat the same time. Deat the same time. Louise and Kevin. The
:19:53. > :19:57.womb girl, Chelsee. She is the only girl in the final. Do you think this
:19:58. > :20:03.will mean half the nation will be behind her. I hope so. Girl power.
:20:04. > :20:08.The ladies are shouting for Louise. They'll do their Argentine tango. It
:20:09. > :20:13.was stunning and thought faultless. It got 39, though. Can they get a 10
:20:14. > :20:18.from Craig? I think, yes, of course they can. It was utterly beautiful.
:20:19. > :20:24.Brilliant. So powerful. So emotional. She's phenomenal, I
:20:25. > :20:28.think. Absolutely. I think there was a bit of a turning point for her.
:20:29. > :20:32.Her confidence. She suddenly came into her own and was there. Alfie,
:20:33. > :20:38.this is Kevin's fourth final. Will that give them an edge and can he do
:20:39. > :20:43.it this time? I really hope so. For Kevin being a mate but that dancing
:20:44. > :20:50.in itself - sorry, I have to say that. Loyalty to my friend. . But
:20:51. > :20:54.that was so sharp. He was so sharp and the passion in him, in himself
:20:55. > :21:01.was incredible and Louise, they are great partners. On to Ore and
:21:02. > :21:05.Joanne. The second Clifton in the final. Are you excited about the
:21:06. > :21:08.brother-sister rivalry. I think that's brilliant. There has never
:21:09. > :21:19.been a brother-sister rivalry before. A first for everything. And,
:21:20. > :21:24.it's great. I'm friends with Joanne as well. Joanne is lovely. Forget
:21:25. > :21:29.Kevin. Michael, their jive, they are doing their jive again from week 4.
:21:30. > :21:35.The first dance to get 10s Here is the thing, that was week 4. We are
:21:36. > :21:41.now week... 78. Whatever it is. 12. What he has learnt in that. How do
:21:42. > :21:47.deal with the nerves? He will be flying. This took a lot of energy.
:21:48. > :21:55.He has to do three dances. His energy levels will have picked up.
:21:56. > :21:59.As fit as a butcher's dog. They came top of the leaderboard last week,
:22:00. > :22:03.semifinal. Can they keep the momentum going for the showdance? I
:22:04. > :22:08.think it is amazing the pressure of a final can do. Their adrenaline
:22:09. > :22:13.will be punched. They will be focussed. . It is controlling. They
:22:14. > :22:17.are in great place to do that. I'm on the edge of my feet. Danny and
:22:18. > :22:21.Oti, our last potential champions, of course, just talking to them.
:22:22. > :22:26.Lovely seeing Danny get emotional. They found themselves in the
:22:27. > :22:31.dance-off last week. Can this motivate the supporters to vote? I
:22:32. > :22:34.really hope it does. I think Danny has definitely got so many
:22:35. > :22:37.supporters out there. If last week taught them anything it is that he
:22:38. > :22:42.is not safe. He needs them behind him. So if you do support Danny
:22:43. > :22:47.please vote for him because he needs it. Well-said. He will love you for
:22:48. > :22:51.that. Michael, they are revisiting their top-scoring samba. How can you
:22:52. > :22:57.improve on the perfect score? You cannot. It is consistent. To do it
:22:58. > :23:01.with the samba. It is notoriously a really, really hard dance. It is
:23:02. > :23:06.really brave of them to do it. He is awesome I mean from day - I have to
:23:07. > :23:09.say I've called this final right from... Did you? I went - those
:23:10. > :23:15.three are going to be in the final. I wrote it down. I swear to you.
:23:16. > :23:19.Show me the piece of paper I will. And Oti's incredible choreography
:23:20. > :23:23.has blown our minds. If anybody was coming into this competition and
:23:24. > :23:27.watching it for the first time they'd have a huge problem trying to
:23:28. > :23:32.discern between the professional and amateur dancer. That is just
:23:33. > :23:37.incredible. I need a name. Who would you like toy win, Michael? Only --
:23:38. > :23:45.to win. Only because he was in my fanclub when he was 12 years' old,
:23:46. > :23:51.Danny. Chelsee? Can I say my reason Y I think he has come a long way and
:23:52. > :23:59.not any dance training. And I think that would be brilliant. Ore. Alfie?
:24:00. > :24:06.If I don't say, I'm going to get belted in a minute. Louise.
:24:07. > :24:11.Demrorous. Five it up for our Friday Panel.
:24:12. > :24:18.And you will sing us out at the end. Our next guest - one has made
:24:19. > :24:24.Strictly history by becoming a finalist for a record-breaking
:24:25. > :24:30.fourth time with her natural mewsicality and all-time awesomeness
:24:31. > :24:36.much. Let's look at Kevin and Louise's story. Louise, you will be
:24:37. > :24:41.dancing with... Kevin. Louise thinks she has danced in the past. I have
:24:42. > :24:48.seen some of her videos. She hasn't. First dance. The jive. The jive, OK.
:24:49. > :24:59.I don't think I have moved that fast in about 25 years. That floated my
:25:00. > :25:04.boat First dance - outstanding. Is that really good? Incredible.
:25:05. > :25:09.There's so many elements to get right Make sure you close your feet.
:25:10. > :25:12.I couldn't be more out of my comfort zone. That was beautiful. Absolutely
:25:13. > :25:22.beautiful. You are a terrific dancer, well done. For all the
:25:23. > :25:30.Louise fans out there. Louise did a famous two-hand movement in her
:25:31. > :25:35.music video. Stir the pot. I'm sure we should add this bit 100%. You
:25:36. > :25:42.look so much more confident and in control of it. You passed the
:25:43. > :25:49.audition and you were great. That position there. Did you just
:25:50. > :25:53.make a face? You are such a natural dancer. I would love will Kevin
:25:54. > :25:57.could push you now. The competition is hotting up. Which means I have to
:25:58. > :26:03.push Louise as hard as I possibly can. You are on a plot tow. We have
:26:04. > :26:07.to come out now and dance with a little bit more wow. This is a
:26:08. > :26:12.massive opportunity now for us to go out and show them what we've got.
:26:13. > :26:19.I've just got to slow everything I've got at this. -- throw
:26:20. > :26:25.everything I've got. Flash, bang, wallop. You have pulled out the
:26:26. > :26:33.shots tonight. It was spot-on. I really and truly loved it.
:26:34. > :26:40.Come on Louise. This is a very camp number. I'm
:26:41. > :26:47.little bit in my element to tell you the truth. I can never live up to
:26:48. > :26:51.Kevin's campness. You've got a big fan over here.
:26:52. > :26:59.You have to look like you have a rage inside of you. I'm so not
:27:00. > :27:03.aggressive. I heard that Craig Revel Horwood thinks you are not as good
:27:04. > :27:07.as the boys. Now you are getting T It is a rumour. Beauty, artistry,
:27:08. > :27:21.power. Fabulous. You are madly in love with me.
:27:22. > :27:23.Standard for a Monday. Yep. It is effortless. I could watch you
:27:24. > :27:35.all night. 10. 10. It is time for the cha-cha-challenge
:27:36. > :27:44.to commence. Our winner is Louise and Kevin.
:27:45. > :27:53.Kevin wants me to shout in an American accent. Yee-ha.
:27:54. > :28:02.... Coming to town. You two whipped that number into perfect shape. What
:28:03. > :28:07.a vivacious performance. Incredible. I couldn't have done this show and
:28:08. > :28:12.enjoyed it the way I have without Jamie and my mum and my kids and my
:28:13. > :28:16.brothers and every week I know they go through every step with me.
:28:17. > :28:22.Having them all there, just loving every minute of it, gives you a
:28:23. > :28:26.little bit of extra oomph, to go out and do well on Saturday I think the
:28:27. > :28:31.world of Louise. I would love it if we made the final. I think she
:28:32. > :28:35.really deserves it. I know if I had the opportunity to be in the final,
:28:36. > :28:42.it would stay with me forever that I'd been able to do that. Sfoo
:28:43. > :28:45.Kevin's been an incredible partner. -- Kevin's been an incredible
:28:46. > :28:48.partner. He had given me the confidence to go out and dance. I
:28:49. > :28:51.never thought I'd ever get that again. I'm very grateful to him.
:28:52. > :29:08.It's been great. It's Louise and Kevin. Hello my
:29:09. > :29:13.darling. Two wide eyes, it stops the tears coming. What an incredible
:29:14. > :29:17.time the two of you have had. How did it feel to watch that cut
:29:18. > :29:24.together like that? Do you know, it was mad watching T I feel Liikanen I
:29:25. > :29:28.was in an outer body experience. I realised how much I've loved T how
:29:29. > :29:31.much it has all meant and what a great time we had. I can only ever
:29:32. > :29:36.be grateful that they even asked me to do it ache I got to come and do
:29:37. > :29:43.it. It is memories I'll never forget. It was amazing.
:29:44. > :29:50.Darren Gough came in this week and he thought out of all the
:29:51. > :29:55.contestants, Louise had gone on the longest journey, for a second time!
:29:56. > :30:01.I will say that the person I know now of Louise is different to the
:30:02. > :30:06.one from week one. She came in and she said, look, I Love Strictly and
:30:07. > :30:10.I love watching it and I have always fancied it but I don't know if I
:30:11. > :30:14.will have much confidence with this. Please don't expect too much, I will
:30:15. > :30:20.give you my best but don't expect too much. And she was very sort of,
:30:21. > :30:25.almost scared of the dances each week at the beginning. And to see
:30:26. > :30:31.her now just soaring and getting better every week. She says she
:30:32. > :30:35.wanted to do this for her because everything has gone into looking
:30:36. > :30:39.after her kids for the last how many years and I think she has done an
:30:40. > :30:45.incredible job, really proud. A lot of mothers will be in total
:30:46. > :30:51.agreement. Do you know the point it changed? Was there a point where you
:30:52. > :30:55.thought, handgun? I think I realised after a couple of weeks how good
:30:56. > :31:03.everybody was and Len said, do not plateau. That was when I thought,
:31:04. > :31:09.sink or swim. Go home or go out fighting. Something inside, Kev took
:31:10. > :31:13.that and said, right, I'm not letting this happen, you have to
:31:14. > :31:16.throw everything at best. That was the moment he kept saying,
:31:17. > :31:22.character, believe it, you can do it. We always joke around but on
:31:23. > :31:27.Monday morning, he would make me start being whoever I was that
:31:28. > :31:31.weekend. Every Monday morning. And he was so right because by the
:31:32. > :31:35.Saturday, I didn't feel embarrassed. I was so worried what people would
:31:36. > :31:41.think of me and whether I should throw everything at it and if you
:31:42. > :31:45.don't, you go home. Exactly. And you have mentioned your boys and Jamie.
:31:46. > :31:49.All your family have been behind you and they've got some messages for
:31:50. > :31:53.you. Louise is a very special daughter,
:31:54. > :31:57.she is great fun and she is full of personality. When I first met
:31:58. > :32:02.Louise, she was a famous pop star, we fell in love and we had kids. She
:32:03. > :32:07.has been a month for 12 years and she has enjoyed being back out
:32:08. > :32:11.there, it is like watching the old Louise. She is the best mum in the
:32:12. > :32:17.world, very kind and generous and she does a lot of things for us.
:32:18. > :32:20.We watch her dances every week. We are her biggest fans. When she
:32:21. > :32:25.walked down the steps, my heart missed a beat. To see her out there
:32:26. > :32:30.was amazing as a mum. The first time she did the Jive, it
:32:31. > :32:35.was a great way to go out, it was big and bold and amazing to watch.
:32:36. > :32:38.They've done so far was the Argentine tango, it was the first
:32:39. > :32:42.dance where she had to really get into character.
:32:43. > :32:47.What I have loved is how I have seen Louise grow in confidence. When
:32:48. > :32:50.Louise is confidence, she lights up the floor.
:32:51. > :32:55.I think my dad is very proud of my mum for getting this far and we hope
:32:56. > :32:59.she does very well on Saturday night.
:33:00. > :33:04.So proud of you, you've been amazing. You and Kevin together have
:33:05. > :33:09.been brilliant, I love you, Babe. Good luck, mum, we are so proud of
:33:10. > :33:13.you. You are doing really well and we can't wait to have you home. You
:33:14. > :33:17.have gone so far in this contention, you have made us all proud. Remember
:33:18. > :33:26.what I say to you, go out and dance like nobody is watching.
:33:27. > :33:32.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Let it out! It is good. It is emotional.
:33:33. > :33:36.Gorgeous family. Kev, you always tell Louise how awesome she is. Has
:33:37. > :33:41.somehow it got through and she is starting to believe it? I hope so,
:33:42. > :33:48.even if she gets a good score, she says, was all right? Louise, tell me
:33:49. > :33:53.something. You awesome? Are you asking me now? Tell me you are
:33:54. > :33:56.awesome, I want to hear it! We do this every Saturday!
:33:57. > :34:03.OK, I'm awesome! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
:34:04. > :34:08.Louise, what would it mean to win the Glitterball? I have always said
:34:09. > :34:13.I have come into this competition just loving it and every week has
:34:14. > :34:16.been a bonus and I have never looked at it as a competition. I knew it
:34:17. > :34:21.would disappoint me too much to go home. I almost would not let myself
:34:22. > :34:25.see it as a competition. To win it would of course be the icing on the
:34:26. > :34:30.cake. It would be the proudest moment for me. At the same time, I'm
:34:31. > :34:33.in the final with two amazing guys and there is nothing in me that
:34:34. > :34:39.would not be happy for them to win it as well. Gorgeous! And we have
:34:40. > :34:43.loved watching you grow in confidence week after week. You,
:34:44. > :34:49.sir, are amazing. Louise and Kevin! CHEERING AND
:34:50. > :34:56.APPLAUSE. My goodness me! Get a grip, woman!
:34:57. > :35:01.And from one pair of hopefuls another, let's welcome our last
:35:02. > :35:05.remaining finalist. He got everybody talking with his incredible Jive and
:35:06. > :35:08.he made the Darcey Bussell my head spin with the longest lasting cycle
:35:09. > :35:13.we have seen. In three months, he has gone from sports presenter the
:35:14. > :35:18.showman and he has made a friend for life, it is Ore and Joanne's
:35:19. > :35:26.Strictly story. You will be doing it with Joanne!
:35:27. > :35:36.Joanne Clifton! You will have a lot to learn! You have so much
:35:37. > :35:43.potential, I can't wait to see more! Come on! Oh, yes! It was forlorn, it
:35:44. > :35:48.was fierce, and better than last week, so well done!
:35:49. > :35:56.The American smooth is just effortless cool. And I don't do
:35:57. > :36:00.effortless and I don't do cool. I think Gene Kellie himself would be
:36:01. > :36:05.proud. I'm astounded how good that was.
:36:06. > :36:11.The moment I flipped that umbrella, the whole thing came alive. I had Jo
:36:12. > :36:14.in one arm and an umbrella in the other and he would have thought that
:36:15. > :36:18.combination could set our Strictly a light?
:36:19. > :36:22.Jive, one of my favourite dances, I had been so looking forward to doing
:36:23. > :36:24.this. You are the one to beat in this
:36:25. > :36:30.competition! A Star is born!
:36:31. > :36:34.Ten! Lets not speak, let's just cuddle.
:36:35. > :36:43.I'm loving every single second of it. And I think I'm turning into a
:36:44. > :36:48.dancer! There was rise and fall, a bit of
:36:49. > :36:54.swing and a bit of sway, you are just incredible.
:36:55. > :36:57.Yes, yes! The charleston, it is easily the most difficult, the most
:36:58. > :37:01.challenging dance that we have done so far. It does have a problem with
:37:02. > :37:08.the swivelling, which is quite worrying. We have the nail that.
:37:09. > :37:15.You attempted a lift which was a little bit dodgy. Your right foot
:37:16. > :37:21.never swivels. Without swivel, it is not a Charleston.
:37:22. > :37:27.Six! Oh, dear! It wasn't very nice to get a six. I really hope that is
:37:28. > :37:32.the last time we see that number. Right now, I look like a chicken
:37:33. > :37:35.about to lay an egg and that is not a good look!
:37:36. > :37:45.That looks like you are going to hold some ex-!
:37:46. > :37:48.-- eggs. The figure of eight is missing, it is just one little think
:37:49. > :37:56.you need to get to make it look like a proper salsa. Nothing can prepare
:37:57. > :38:00.you for when that red light goes on. I just thought, I don't want this to
:38:01. > :38:05.end right now. There was a lot of tender, romantic
:38:06. > :38:12.feeling between you. I loved it! Thank you! You did it,
:38:13. > :38:20.you are back! You are back! I have been looking forward to Blackpool
:38:21. > :38:24.because this is a big deal. Cool, sophisticated, slick. That is
:38:25. > :38:35.the longest lasting fleckle I have ever seen on Strictly, I loved it.
:38:36. > :38:42.Ten! It was a wonderful paso doble,
:38:43. > :38:48.issued a totally different side to your character and I congratulate
:38:49. > :38:56.you, well done. -- you showed. It was very stylish and very nice. It
:38:57. > :39:01.was elegant and class. It is just incredible to still be here.
:39:02. > :39:05.Strictly for me was always a dream and Jo was the one that made it come
:39:06. > :39:14.true. It was a fantastic dance.
:39:15. > :39:24.I had no idea that she would give me such an incredible time.
:39:25. > :39:28.He has made my Strictly experience so special. We are going to be
:39:29. > :39:36.really good friends. Forever. Ten!
:39:37. > :39:39.The first finalist is Ore and Joanne!
:39:40. > :39:46.This has been one of the best experiences of my entire life.
:39:47. > :39:54.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Ore and Joanne! I tell you... The
:39:55. > :40:02.accumulative emotion is getting to me! Where is the mop? A bucket!
:40:03. > :40:07.Looking back at that, what was the moment when you thought, hang on, I
:40:08. > :40:12.don't want this the end? I always knew I was going to fall in love
:40:13. > :40:16.with Strictly. I had no idea how much. And obviously, that is all
:40:17. > :40:20.down to Jo because like I said, she has made it true. You don't know
:40:21. > :40:25.when you meet somebody if you will get on and if you do, how well. In
:40:26. > :40:29.the first week of training, it was probably the first moment that we
:40:30. > :40:37.belly laughed. We really loved out loud. You had a belly! Look at him
:40:38. > :40:44.now! You try to say something nice and you get that! No, I just
:40:45. > :40:47.thought, I'm going to get the best time with this person regardless of
:40:48. > :40:52.how well we do and I knew I had found a friend. And I said it
:40:53. > :40:58.before, she is not going to be able to get rid of me after this. From
:40:59. > :41:02.minute one. Not only did you find the perfect dance partner, you did
:41:03. > :41:06.find a great friend. How soon in the meeting could Ore did you know this
:41:07. > :41:10.was a match made in Strictly heaven? I knew exactly the moment, we were
:41:11. > :41:15.partnered up and we came together and for some reason, we both did
:41:16. > :41:22.exactly the same move. I was like, that is weird! But I think
:41:23. > :41:26.obviously, Strictly and the dancing part has been amazing but even if we
:41:27. > :41:36.never danced together again, this will never ever end. We are best
:41:37. > :41:40.friends for life. Ore, how many tears have you shed this week? You
:41:41. > :41:44.are doing well, I thought more tears. That is a worry because it
:41:45. > :41:49.will come like a torrent on Saturday. We have kept it in. What
:41:50. > :41:55.was nice this week, because we've got so far and right in the end, you
:41:56. > :42:00.are able to really enjoyed this week and celebrate it. But we had our
:42:01. > :42:06.last training session yesterday and that got emotional, we watched our
:42:07. > :42:11.routines back. And even today, we did the Chris Evans show on Radio 2.
:42:12. > :42:16.You don't get days like this and after this week, you will not. So we
:42:17. > :42:19.are trying to soak up every single second. What are you going to miss
:42:20. > :42:24.the most about dancing with each other? Probably the laughter, I
:42:25. > :42:32.think. We laughed about rude stuff, toilet humour! I can vouch for that.
:42:33. > :42:37.So naughty! It is stupid. Like was shown on the clip, the fact he had
:42:38. > :42:41.his hand there and I said, you look like you are holding some ex-! It
:42:42. > :42:46.tickled us, something stupid that is not funny. You can't spend 50 hours
:42:47. > :42:51.with one of your best friends, you don't get to do that. To have that
:42:52. > :42:56.for four months. The hole in my heart after this is going to be, I
:42:57. > :43:01.can't even tell you. You have to fill it with something. Grown men
:43:02. > :43:05.weeping behind the cameras! And you might shed a tear after this, there
:43:06. > :43:09.are some people who love you very much indeed, Ore, they are here with
:43:10. > :43:14.some messages. I would describe Ore is just the
:43:15. > :43:19.nicest guy I know. Ore has not changed a bit, he is still the same,
:43:20. > :43:23.sweet, wonderful, caring son as he always was. The moment he walked out
:43:24. > :43:28.and did that drive, everyone took him seriously in the competition. I
:43:29. > :43:33.mean, my jaw was on the floor, I couldn't believe it. It reminded me
:43:34. > :43:40.of how people like me in my younger days did the drive. And he was doing
:43:41. > :43:45.it even better. It was marvellous! -- jive. I watch him and I can't
:43:46. > :43:52.believe that this is my son. I'm so proud. I think Ore has done really
:43:53. > :43:59.well to get to the final because he has tried hard and he has done lots
:44:00. > :44:03.and lots of training. It is just such a pleasure and an honour to see
:44:04. > :44:11.your sibling doing so incredibly well. Yes.
:44:12. > :44:14.He is amazing. Yes. Good luck, Ore. Whatever happens, I'm behind you and
:44:15. > :44:21.I'm very proud of you. Well done. I hope you get to lift
:44:22. > :44:25.the Glitterball Trophy. You have done well, my boy, and we
:44:26. > :44:31.are wishing you the best in your Strictly journey. I'm so proud of
:44:32. > :44:35.you. You are amazing and all you need to do is be yourself. And you
:44:36. > :44:38.have just got to go out there and enjoy it and do the best that you
:44:39. > :44:54.can do. And I love you. Well done! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
:44:55. > :44:57.Beautiful. Ore, I know! What would it mean to you to win the
:44:58. > :45:05.competition? For them, for all of them, they have
:45:06. > :45:09.been there every step of the way. They have been so supportive. I have
:45:10. > :45:14.neglected them for four months. They haven't seen me at all. My wife has
:45:15. > :45:23.barely seen me. But for her as well, because the gift she's given me, I
:45:24. > :45:27.can't repay you with anything. And she's a winner and she - and to be
:45:28. > :45:32.able to win this for her, I can't put it into words. I have to say we
:45:33. > :45:37.will never, ever forget your incredible jive and for me Singing
:45:38. > :45:47.In The Rain as well. The two of you are glorious, Ore and Joanne.
:45:48. > :45:54.Now, are you all all right at home? I know, please. Now, these guys have
:45:55. > :45:59.one more sleep until the final but it is nine more sleeps until the
:46:00. > :46:06.Strictly Christmas special. Here is an exclusive behind the scenes. Ho,
:46:07. > :46:12.ho, ho, it's me, Paddy Ashdownia. I have a present for you. A sneak peak
:46:13. > :46:18.into the opening number of the Strictly Christmas special. It is so
:46:19. > :46:22.exciting. Enjoy. This year's opening number is celebrating Christmas
:46:23. > :46:27.movies. Because it is based around films, we'll all be doing an opening
:46:28. > :46:34.title to introduce the stars of the movie. That's me. I have missed
:46:35. > :46:38.Strictly. I can't wait to get completely stribtlified. Look at me,
:46:39. > :46:44.I'm glittery. I have eyelashes on. I can't remember the last time I wore
:46:45. > :46:47.a pair of eyelashes? Lots of razzmatazz, polish and style. Why?
:46:48. > :46:58.It is Strictly. Lights, camera, action. We are in Knebworth House
:46:59. > :47:02.where we get an intro-Dukes to the celebrities and pros, with a nod to
:47:03. > :47:07.their Christmas movie. We travel to the drawing room, dining room and go
:47:08. > :47:12.outside for snowman action. It was something I love I was really
:47:13. > :47:15.nervous. I have only ever learnt from Kevin but Gorka has been
:47:16. > :47:22.equally as lovely I'm dancing with Gethin. He is doing incredibly well
:47:23. > :47:25.and we are having an awesome time. Ainslie and I are robbers, we are
:47:26. > :47:29.going to try to finds something to steal People say what is the
:47:30. > :47:38.difference between dancing with Natalie and Karen. I think about six
:47:39. > :47:42.inches, actually. It is great to be back with my dance partner, Janette.
:47:43. > :47:45.When you get together with the professional dancers, they bring
:47:46. > :47:50.something out in you that you never knew was there. In true Strictly
:47:51. > :47:57.fashion, everything looks great. The set is fantastic. The costumes are
:47:58. > :48:02.incredible. It looks absolutely beautiful. It is magic. This is
:48:03. > :48:07.going to look fabulous on Christmas day. I want a mince pie. Christmas
:48:08. > :48:12.equals Strictly. Strictly equals Christmas. It can't get any better
:48:13. > :48:17.than that. # All I want for Christmas is you...
:48:18. > :48:22.# I love everything about Christmas,
:48:23. > :48:27.family, food and so much fun. It's just a special time. Time to be at
:48:28. > :48:39.home and relax. I love Christmas. I love Christmas. She choose Buddy the
:48:40. > :48:44.Elf. I love Christmas. It is great to get everybody together. Sitting
:48:45. > :48:48.around together watching Strictly. That's all we can show you for now.
:48:49. > :48:57.Tune in on Christmas day and I Prom Makris you, it will be a creak.
:48:58. > :49:12.Thank you shall hot lips. -- Christmas day and I promise you.
:49:13. > :49:18.Now one of my next guests has faced Arctic conditions to bring you all
:49:19. > :49:24.the details from Elstree, like what is Karen eating now.
:49:25. > :49:29.And we have Iain Waite. You look like you have just got married I was
:49:30. > :49:34.practising. He is getting married Make him look good. You aring
:49:35. > :49:38.together, at last. I know. We must say, you two have met before.
:49:39. > :49:43.Obviously Gethin did the series. You might have helped him with a bit of
:49:44. > :49:47.dancing back in the day. We used to meet up, I used to help you behind
:49:48. > :49:56.the scenes. He is my protege. Camilla said - I can't teach you to
:49:57. > :50:01.be a man, so she took me to see Ian. I've been practising to be a man for
:50:02. > :50:05.a very long time. Darling, Iain, you have been keeping a very close eye
:50:06. > :50:10.on our celebrities. What have you made of their progress this series?
:50:11. > :50:15.All I can say is that the whole show - I know every year this has become
:50:16. > :50:18.a cliche but every year they say it is the best series ever but I have
:50:19. > :50:23.enjoyed watching it so much. Sometimes, you know, I watch it and
:50:24. > :50:28.sometimes I watch it later, but I've just been obsessed with watching it
:50:29. > :50:33.because there has been so many standout dances from so many people
:50:34. > :50:37.sort of iconic dances. Normally you might get one a season but this year
:50:38. > :50:46.we have had so many, haven't we? Such a treat. Who have you been
:50:47. > :50:50.enjoying watching? So many and they have all been so willing on a
:50:51. > :50:57.Friday, 24 hours before they have to perform. I wish I saw more of
:50:58. > :51:02.Melvin, and lawyeria. Claudia made a huge improvement. I loved watching
:51:03. > :51:06.Claudia and for someone who spent two years probably perfecting a
:51:07. > :51:12.routine, she had two or three days there on Strictly to do it. It is
:51:13. > :51:15.quite something. As the numbers dwindled, Gethin, whose departure
:51:16. > :51:21.affected the group? I think over the weeks there was a real difference
:51:22. > :51:25.when Ed left. There was a hoo-ha with it but after that it felt
:51:26. > :51:31.series. I remember chatting to the guys and I think Louise said - we
:51:32. > :51:35.all would like to win it. It is the first time I heard anyone saying
:51:36. > :51:41.win. And why not, you have come that far. Then you hear, quarterfinal,
:51:42. > :51:47.semifinal, final. It is a big deal. I'm obsessed with your facial hair,
:51:48. > :51:55.it is good. Stroke him. You can stop stroking.
:51:56. > :51:59.I can't help T Ian, you obviously oversaw the Pro Challenge. Who
:52:00. > :52:03.impressed you? They were all really keen. Sometimes they are not keen
:52:04. > :52:08.because you are taking them out of their practise and they have their
:52:09. > :52:13.heads set on the show but they were all really willing and keen to do
:52:14. > :52:17.it. Two of the one that is stood out were Oksana and Gorka. Their
:52:18. > :52:24.technique was so good... That's Gorka I'm imagining. That was Gorka.
:52:25. > :52:26.But, their technique was so good. They didn't get any
:52:27. > :52:30.disqualifications and they had really high scores. Unlike Neil.
:52:31. > :52:35.Yes, unlike Neil. That was hysterical. Favourite dance? I mean
:52:36. > :52:44.so many, but a particular favourite? ? It is really tough. As Ian said,
:52:45. > :52:49.so many brilliant dances. The finalists have done so many great
:52:50. > :52:53.dances I would go with Claudia, the Lien King. I have to have a word
:52:54. > :52:56.with the pros. The way they brougted out the celebrities, this is perfect
:52:57. > :53:02.for Claudia. She is having the time of her life. She is 19. Out of her
:53:03. > :53:06.comfort zone and what she could do physically, tremendous. I watched it
:53:07. > :53:15.in rehearsals. I was blown away. Ian for you? I know this is going to be
:53:16. > :53:22.controversial but Gangnan for me. Let's see T We can all do it. It was
:53:23. > :53:26.unbelievable. I had to rewind it about seven times. I missed the next
:53:27. > :53:31.show that was coming on BBC because it was so great. Saturday Night
:53:32. > :53:35.Entertainment. Very quickly, close contest
:53:36. > :53:39.tomorrow, Ian. It is going to be tight, isn't it, don't you think?
:53:40. > :53:46.Well, whoever wins deserves to win it, can I say that, firstly, because
:53:47. > :53:50.they are all so amazing. And Danny has been so outstanding and we have
:53:51. > :53:56.seen Louise grow nowhere and also Ore has come from nowhere. Yes,
:53:57. > :54:00.amazing. Can I say three of them. A massive thank you from the whole
:54:01. > :54:07.team. My left and right-hand men, Ian and Gethin.
:54:08. > :54:13.L thanks to Karen hardy and Vicky Gill as well. Now, if you want to
