:00:52. > :01:03.Live from London, this is Strictly It Takes Two!
:01:04. > :01:08.We're still catching our breath after the weekend.
:01:09. > :01:13.Ruth and Anton had their very own Bucks Fizz moment
:01:14. > :01:26.Brain and Amy were sadly eliminated from the competition.
:01:27. > :01:29.We're feeling "hi-de-low" about it - but not for much longer...
:01:30. > :01:31.Because they're in the green room tonight!
:01:32. > :01:44.Plus, taking charge of this week's Choreography Corner -
:01:45. > :01:52.But first - this couple have made us all very happy campers this series.
:01:53. > :02:21.Before we say goodbye, here's Brian and Amy's last dance.
:02:22. > :02:39.Thank you very much! That's what we wanted to hear! We were all rooting
:02:40. > :02:45.for you, we didn't want it to be this way! Well, it's a competition,
:02:46. > :02:52.isn't it? It is. How was Saturday night for you, that jive was
:02:53. > :03:01.brilliant? We really enjoyed it, didn't we? And as you know, Amy is
:03:02. > :03:07.from Wales... Never! The whole thing was Tom Jones was a lovely, fitting
:03:08. > :03:09.moment, and we really enjoyed it, and no animosity against Simon, I
:03:10. > :03:21.even got him a Christmas present! I bought him a hairdryer! I've still
:03:22. > :03:25.kept the receipt but... That jive as well, Amy, there was so much content
:03:26. > :03:37.in it, I believe? He definitely can't say he can't jive now - he
:03:38. > :03:42.knows everything about it! Even Shirley said you did everything in
:03:43. > :03:45.that jive. It was you who made me look good, lovely lady and double it
:03:46. > :03:48.was so close in the end, because you had four couples in the same
:03:49. > :03:53.position, so I guess it could have gone either way. So, going into the
:03:54. > :03:59.Results Show, how much were you thinking, this could be it had a wee
:04:00. > :04:03.we were nervous every week. We never took anything for granted, we were
:04:04. > :04:07.in the dance-off in the first week. Every week we were a bit nervous. We
:04:08. > :04:19.knew we were in the dance-off, and you're just a curse! I did get quite
:04:20. > :04:28.teary watching you last night. I don't want you worrying, I'm doing
:04:29. > :04:38.panto. Oh, no you're not! I am! It's 2020, but I'm very excited about
:04:39. > :04:47.that? Plenty of time, then! Here is your Strictly story. I woke up and I
:04:48. > :05:01.went... I'm on Strictly today! Your professional partner is the lovely
:05:02. > :05:07.Amy! Hello! We're doing the Tango. It's serious. The acting I
:05:08. > :05:14.absolutely loved... Your posture was very poor... Overall a very good
:05:15. > :05:21.performance... I'm going to put the strict into Strictly. I'm 13 years
:05:22. > :05:27.older than her and she goes, it's just a number, but I go, yeah, it's
:05:28. > :05:32.a big number! It's lively, bright, had attitude... The timing was out
:05:33. > :05:42.and I thought it was very stumpy, I'm afraid. The couple in the bottom
:05:43. > :05:53.two tonight is Brian and Amy! I'm going to save Brian. I feel quite
:05:54. > :05:59.tearful, it's so moving. We need to show them now why they saved us.
:06:00. > :06:04.It's about good timing and good balance, and you have that. You're
:06:05. > :06:14.extremely entertaining - you did yourself proud. This week we are
:06:15. > :06:24.dancing the paso doble... I know that you've got to be butch. Broke
:06:25. > :06:28.my ruler! That cost me a quid! Actually had some nice paso doble
:06:29. > :06:35.moves... Watching you always is a treat... It was really good. Amy
:06:36. > :06:42.nurtures me and makes me feel confident. What I love about dance
:06:43. > :06:47.is the connection between you and another person. The amount of energy
:06:48. > :06:50.you put in your face, it would be nice if we got that through the
:06:51. > :06:56.body... Did that put you in a holiday mood, Craig? No, not really,
:06:57. > :07:07.I'm afraid. What were you going to say? Simon and Karen. I want
:07:08. > :07:12.everyone out there to know how special this lady is, because she's
:07:13. > :07:19.a star. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
:07:20. > :07:36.Oh, you two! I know! And some more... Oh, god! I can't believe it!
:07:37. > :07:45.When I came off that last dancer! He said yes. I am going to tweet about
:07:46. > :07:49.you, I said, don't show me I'm doing my make up! So many of your fans are
:07:50. > :07:54.so gutted. Your talents are greater
:07:55. > :07:58.than Dangerous Brian." What would you like to say
:07:59. > :08:11.to all of your supporters? They've been brilliant? I would just
:08:12. > :08:16.like to thank them all, thank you for your support, hope we didn't let
:08:17. > :08:22.you down and I don't think we did, because we had a good laugh. To all
:08:23. > :08:28.the celebs - I will be watching! I shall be in a yacht just off the
:08:29. > :08:33.coast of Barbados, but I'll be keeping an eye undue! What would be
:08:34. > :08:42.your lasting memory of this gorgeous man, Amy? I have similar! Don't say
:08:43. > :08:48.anything, you will make me go! My jaw is still aching from laughing so
:08:49. > :08:53.much. So many, the ruler snapping has got to be one... This lady has
:08:54. > :08:59.got the most wonderful sense of humour, and she got it straightaway
:09:00. > :09:02.when I went to, she's my favourite - what's your name...? From that
:09:03. > :09:08.moment on we laughed and laughed. We have taken it seriously and worked
:09:09. > :09:15.hard but you know... The first week we were bottom of the leaderboard
:09:16. > :09:20.and halfway through we said, we're at the bottom. Don't worry, we won't
:09:21. > :09:26.be at the bottom! Couple more goes, where are we now? Still at the
:09:27. > :09:34.bottom. And where are we now? It hasn't changed! Don't worry, Aston
:09:35. > :09:43.has left, he's rubbished! You have a friend for life in Aston, do you
:09:44. > :09:46.secretly want him to win? Listen they're all friends, I've known them
:09:47. > :09:52.for a long time now intimately, because there's so much pressure in
:09:53. > :09:56.the show, everyone supports you, so I'm not going to say who I like and
:09:57. > :10:03.don't like. And I will watch the show. I don't think... I KNOW I
:10:04. > :10:08.haven't lost, and I haven't lost because I met Amy. That's so
:10:09. > :10:14.beautiful, and I know you wanted to mention your daughter as well? I do,
:10:15. > :10:19.and she watches this show and I just want to say we love you and thank
:10:20. > :10:31.you, Amy, thanks for looking after us. And thank you you two, Brian and
:10:32. > :10:34.Amy! Oh! Hold tight, everyone! Cuddle the person next to you! I
:10:35. > :10:39.don't want to go! Now, putting together
:10:40. > :10:41.a show like Strictly is a very serious operation -
:10:42. > :10:44.but what funny business I don't want to leave! I love it...!
:10:45. > :11:11.Come here, check it out, baby! The charleston is a dance which is
:11:12. > :11:16.full of character and facial expression - he's the king of that!
:11:17. > :11:25.Look at him in the face! He's just like a... In that rehearsal just now
:11:26. > :11:31.Anton couldn't get his trousers off, so I started without him! At one
:11:32. > :11:39.point I slide on my knees... And hopefully I'm going to stop before I
:11:40. > :11:44.hit the audience! I think I've lost my partner and my wife! In one fell
:11:45. > :12:10.swoop! No! Open up! Food, man! Debbie, you want
:12:11. > :12:20.some? Oh, it's lovely... You want anything? I would quite like a
:12:21. > :12:35.coffee, Aston! Second time performing on Strictly, it's great
:12:36. > :12:43.to be sharing a stage with Aljaz and Oti. What is a matador?! It's just
:12:44. > :12:51.never-ending in Strictly. I don't know what that is! It's just enough
:12:52. > :12:57.space for me, and this man over here. It was nine years ago now and
:12:58. > :13:17.he has been absolutely everywhere with me...
:13:18. > :13:32.It's very worrying, my partner's not dressed! I'm dressed!
:13:33. > :13:54.Guys, we're live in one-minute, folks! Yes! Lovely!
:13:55. > :14:01.Right, time now to welcome back a very special guest to the show.
:14:02. > :14:02.She's an 11-time Australian ballroom champion
:14:03. > :14:05.and was a professional dancer on Strictly for seven years.
:14:06. > :14:06.Taking over this week's Choreography Corner,
:14:07. > :14:28.Give it up for Legs herself - Natalie Lowe!
:14:29. > :14:40.I have missed you, gorgeous one. And since we had last seen you you have
:14:41. > :14:51.got engaged. I went wedding dress shopping this morning. I found the
:14:52. > :14:59.perfect dress. You're a boy! -- a lucky boy. I cannot believe the
:15:00. > :15:05.standard this year. It is just incredible. Let's get into detail.
:15:06. > :15:07.Let's start with this week's highest scorers -
:15:08. > :15:10.The judges loved their emotional rumba,
:15:11. > :15:16.we all know it's a tricky one - what stood out for you?
:15:17. > :15:27.It is difficult and especially for the female celebrity. She has
:15:28. > :15:31.amazing leg and ankle action, beautiful spin. Giovanni is
:15:32. > :15:37.partnering her beautifully. Then this lovely extension, absolutely so
:15:38. > :15:44.controlled. She is exquisite to watch. And the hip action, I have
:15:45. > :15:52.slowed this down. Normally you do not see a female celebrity looks so
:15:53. > :15:58.comfortable with the slow downs in a high heel. I really enjoyed this
:15:59. > :16:01.one. You look mesmerised. I love it. Rumba is my favourite dance.
:16:02. > :16:06.Jonnie has been working on his acting skills this week -
:16:07. > :16:20.Absolutely. The quick step is the perfect dance for him to feel as if
:16:21. > :16:24.he can express himself. It is a really nice theme, a great track and
:16:25. > :16:28.you can tell that he is trying to apply himself as well as thinking
:16:29. > :16:33.about technique. Look at that gorgeous smile. And Oti through
:16:34. > :16:40.everything into the routine. So it was quite challenging. But he had a
:16:41. > :16:47.lovely leg and kicking action. What I would like to see is for Johnny to
:16:48. > :16:57.fix his shoulder line, rolled the shoulders back. What is happening,
:16:58. > :17:04.he has a bit of a tango arm in the quickstep. War ballroom dancing to
:17:05. > :17:07.go so I would like to see him rolling his shoulders back and
:17:08. > :17:15.dropping the elbow. Then that would correct the forearm because at the
:17:16. > :17:18.moment it is square. So fix the elbow and the hand would be more at
:17:19. > :17:27.eye level as it should be for ballroom. That is the one.
:17:28. > :17:28.Moving onto Alexandra and Gorka's samba.
:17:29. > :17:32.Craig said Alexandra is a brilliant dancer, but her pigeon toes
:17:33. > :17:49.I do love you, Craig. I've heard this a lot, a lot of my former
:17:50. > :17:53.partners have had the same issue. It is difficult to change something
:17:54. > :17:59.like that overnight. There are things Alexandra could do. A little
:18:00. > :18:03.bit more put pressure, pressing the ankles together in more of a
:18:04. > :18:13.stationary position if she's doing that mice wriggle. Thinking about
:18:14. > :18:18.pointing the toes in a more straight direction as opposed to slightly
:18:19. > :18:26.turned out if anything. I think it is their most time. Yes!
:18:27. > :18:42.That first line at the top of her dance. Sorry! Instead of being
:18:43. > :18:47.flat-footed and just going forward I want to see this line through the
:18:48. > :18:54.foot to give her this lovely extension. Then you can do that kind
:18:55. > :18:58.of action. If her feet by swivelling a little bit I would like to see the
:18:59. > :19:11.ankles more together. Brushing the knees together and then she can
:19:12. > :19:13.really... There is no one like Legs! She is going for it but you need
:19:14. > :19:17.that mice control. -- nice. Davood and Nadiya avoided
:19:18. > :19:19.the dance off this week with their coffee shop Jive,
:19:20. > :19:32.what impressed you about this one? Nadiya has thrown everything into
:19:33. > :19:37.this again. I love the side by side action, he has good timing and he is
:19:38. > :19:41.partnering her well. I really enjoyed this, I was smiling
:19:42. > :19:46.throughout and wanted to watch it over and again. I have slowed down
:19:47. > :19:55.this section. I want to see him finish off those lines a bit more. I
:19:56. > :20:00.wanted to be a little more, punch up that arm or put it on the hip or
:20:01. > :20:06.throw it out to the side. More expression through the arms right to
:20:07. > :20:10.the end. And if he can get that? Yes, I just think he has so much
:20:11. > :20:15.potential. And there is so much content in that. It was a lot of
:20:16. > :20:17.fun. Maybe less content and more finesse.
:20:18. > :20:20.Less lucky were Simon and Karen, they were in the bottom two
:20:21. > :20:23.for the second time this series, what did you make
:20:24. > :20:35.The Charleston is one of my favourite dances to watch. I love
:20:36. > :20:41.the concept and Karen is so fantastic and what she does, so
:20:42. > :20:46.specific and so on it. Anything slightly out can look a bit obvious.
:20:47. > :20:52.So what I would like to see Simon doing is just get more energy and
:20:53. > :20:56.really concentrate on his peripheral vision with Karen so he does not
:20:57. > :21:03.feel so exposed on a side by side dance. He is enjoying her, getting
:21:04. > :21:09.the energy from there. So I want to see him just try a bit harder this
:21:10. > :21:11.week. Perfect. So lovely to have you back.
:21:12. > :21:22.For the first time this series it's time for our pros to play a little
:21:23. > :21:24.game of something I like to call 'Ballroom Bingo' -
:21:25. > :21:51.Good evening, strictly fans. Time for ballroom bingo!
:21:52. > :21:59.Droopy drawers, 44. Which pro has the worst fashion sense? Maybe
:22:00. > :22:09.Brendan. He is getting older and his fashion sense might be a bit...
:22:10. > :22:14.Sometimes he wears a tie that is not appropriate. Who turns up to
:22:15. > :22:28.rehearsals in a fool suit and tie and then starts to do a Rumba.
:22:29. > :22:37.Terrible shirts with awful plants and animals on it. I got this from
:22:38. > :22:43.Kevin. Jump jive, number 35. Which pro has the most energy question
:22:44. > :22:55.Mark catchier. She is loud. She is crackers. She never stops. She is
:22:56. > :23:07.like an energetic puppy. Relax! Relax. Everyone is telling me to
:23:08. > :23:10.stop but I cant stop! Just breathe. I think it is me. That's your lot,
:23:11. > :23:19.but remember, keep spinning! Now we're nearing the halfway point
:23:20. > :23:24.of this year's Strictly race - and according to Craig,
:23:25. > :23:49.the front runners better keep You are becoming so versatile. You
:23:50. > :23:56.stayed in character. And I was taken with you. Today you had romantic
:23:57. > :24:02.elements to the dance. The front runners in this competition need to
:24:03. > :24:11.start looking behind them. Hands in the air, everyone, it is Gemma and
:24:12. > :24:15.Aljaz! Congratulations. Another stunning performance. You just keep
:24:16. > :24:33.bringing it out. What is annoying is the dress run
:24:34. > :24:39.was so much better. And as soon as we finished that, I came up and said
:24:40. > :24:43.I'm so sorry. Because the dress rehearsal, I do not know what it
:24:44. > :24:51.was, I just got nervous. And I said straightaway that I was sorry. I
:24:52. > :24:55.genuinely am. I was disappointed with myself. I knew I could have
:24:56. > :25:05.done it better. You did perfect. You did. You know you did. Sometimes it
:25:06. > :25:09.can work the other way, was the terrible dress run. But when you've
:25:10. > :25:20.worked hard, it is sad. Still fantastic. Lorraine Kelly said you
:25:21. > :25:25.do not even know how good you are. You feel you're in with a chance? It
:25:26. > :25:32.depends on the dance. When it is the dance but I enjoy it is yes, I think
:25:33. > :25:38.I can do this. Then a few days into rehearsal... But was ballroom it is
:25:39. > :25:49.difficult for me. I think you secretly really love it. It is deep
:25:50. > :25:50.down somewhere! It is a long sentence and takes me forever to
:25:51. > :25:53.read it! We all know the Foxtrot
:25:54. > :26:07.is your favourite dance - It has always been my favourite. And
:26:08. > :26:13.this Saturday, I really loved the dance. When it is a slow dance you
:26:14. > :26:18.need to be in a little bubble and I felt that from the first second. The
:26:19. > :26:25.light behind Gemma was so bright I could not see her. It was so bright.
:26:26. > :26:31.And just the whole thing felt really smooth. Normally with the slow
:26:32. > :26:35.dances when there is a little bump you can feel it. But the one we did
:26:36. > :26:43.it felt really smooth to me. And even watching it back it looks
:26:44. > :26:52.lovely. Still my favourite. Joint third now. It is getting quite
:26:53. > :27:00.close. You feeling it getting a bit competitive now? Very, I forgot what
:27:01. > :27:07.they sound like because we do not speak to them! We want to just be on
:27:08. > :27:12.our own! Away from everyone. That is a good idea, we might film the whole
:27:13. > :27:19.show just for ourselves in Birmingham. It is one of those
:27:20. > :27:24.competitions, everyone is in the same boat and everyone wants to do
:27:25. > :27:28.well. But no one once anyone else to do badly or go out. Even from
:27:29. > :27:35.rehearsals it has been such a wonderful creative journey. But you
:27:36. > :27:39.want to do well you sell. So a strange feeling especially on the
:27:40. > :27:46.live shows. And even when you watch everyone, you want them to do well.
:27:47. > :27:53.The audiences happy, everyone is happy. It is a genuine love, this
:27:54. > :28:07.crazy, dysfunctional family. This weekend it is of course Halloween!
:28:08. > :28:16.Any excuse! You are dancing the jive. Have you started to get the
:28:17. > :28:21.feel of it yet? Yes. We have not trained yet, we're starting
:28:22. > :28:28.tomorrow. But it is quick. Upon the balls of feet. Long dress as well,
:28:29. > :28:36.you're going to love it. He is genuinely scared of Halloween.
:28:37. > :28:40.Scared to death. It is going to go well! Good luck this weekend, Gemma
:28:41. > :28:44.and Aljaz! Join us tomorrow at 6.30 where we'll
:28:45. > :28:50.chatting to Jonnie and Oti and dance All that plus Natalie Lowe
:28:51. > :28:54.returns and we find out what songs our couples will be
:28:55. > :28:58.dancing to this weekend. I don't think everyone
:28:59. > :29:12.should believe in magic, but I'm not sure
:29:13. > :29:15.I would trust anyone who doesn't
