0:00:08 > 0:00:15Once upon a time there were three beautiful girls who went
0:00:15 > 0:00:17to the Strictly academy, they were each assigned
0:00:17 > 0:00:22very hazardous dance routines.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43But tonight, I take them away from all that
0:00:43 > 0:00:45and now they work for me.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50My name is Zoe.
0:01:41 > 0:01:52Live from London this is No Such -- It Takes Two.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Zoe's Angels. I love those ladies.

0:02:31 > 0:02:38But back to business.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40It's Friday and I can confirm we are only...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43away from the next live Strictly show - so let's get cracking!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46First up, we sent our very own Welsh wonder Gethin for another trip
0:02:46 > 0:02:49to Elstree this morning to report on all the backstage gossip.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Let's see what he's been up to.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Welcome back to Elstree. Hallowe'en is over, it's still scary stuff for
0:02:53 > 0:02:55our couples as they take to the dance floor for their final
0:02:55 > 0:03:02rehearsals on a Friday. At the moment, it's the tango. Let's take a
0:03:02 > 0:03:06look.

0:03:26 > 0:03:31dashing tonight, Gethin. More from him later in the show.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Right, I think it's time to meet our first guests,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35and the beast was certainly unleashed during their
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Tango at the weekend.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39TIGER GROWL.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Steady, girl.

0:04:02 > 0:04:08truly loved it. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:10 > 0:04:15# I want to dance with somebody # I want to feel the heat with

0:04:18 > 0:04:22somebody # With somebody who loves me...

0:04:35 > 0:04:39hot tango. It was unbelievable. How much did you enjoy it?I loved. It I

0:04:48 > 0:04:55fit! I had the best time. It was so much fun. My nerves were a lot. It
0:04:55 > 0:04:59is like that every week. Have you toen Chael positivity and go out and
0:04:59 > 0:05:04have the best time.You don't look nervous. You -If only that was the
0:05:04 > 0:05:08case. The eyeball helped me hide that. The one eyeball. Then it
0:05:08 > 0:05:15starts to move around.Gorka you were hungry for top scores. The
0:05:15 > 0:05:21highest scoring tango of the series. APPLAUSE
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Were you a happy boy?Very happy boy. Not just for the scores. I was
0:05:25 > 0:05:29happy because of how she danced and performed the number, ittic hakes me
0:05:29 > 0:05:35happy. The only thing I wanted her was to be comfortable and feel good
0:05:35 > 0:05:39when she does the number. She was happy. So, I'm happy.Everyone is
0:05:39 > 0:05:45happy.I'm happy.We are all a bit more in love. Shirley said it was
0:05:45 > 0:05:55almost perfect. A tiny mistake. What happened?Yeah.She went on the
0:05:55 > 0:06:04left, not the right.Whatever Gorka says. I do what I'm told!Darren
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Bennett won Strictly Come Dancing, an old pro, in that moment when your
0:06:07 > 0:06:12foot went out, you did the grip and whip. We never heard of that before.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17He said it's very difficult to do, recover your partner. They have to
0:06:17 > 0:06:24have a good core and be good. Which Alexandra isIt's my job. We are a
0:06:24 > 0:06:28credit to each other and are connected and have our bodies
0:06:28 > 0:06:32connected it makes it easier. When you have a mistake something goes
0:06:32 > 0:06:36wrong you can help each other go in place. That is what happens. Her
0:06:36 > 0:06:41body was connected to mine.I knew where he was going.If he was sloppy
0:06:41 > 0:06:52it would be...Yes. Like a muppet. You were thrown under his legs,
0:06:52 > 0:07:02again.Again!She love it.I will put you through my legs I'm like -
0:07:02 > 0:07:07let's go, babes!I will put it in the Cha Cha Cha tomorrow.It's the
0:07:07 > 0:07:12arm bit tomorrow. Don't do that. Which arm?Whatever one he wants to
0:07:12 > 0:07:26do. I go with the flow. Flow. He always smells amazing. Trust me.
0:07:26 > 0:07:36Looks good, smells good - nightmare for you Alexandra! Your sister was
0:07:36 > 0:07:41in the audience last week.Yes.What did she make of it?It was her first
0:07:41 > 0:07:46show. She has been away and not available to come. She loved it and
0:07:46 > 0:07:50had the best time. She said as a family it's what they look forward
0:07:50 > 0:07:54to every Saturday night. We are focussing on it as a family. It's a
0:07:54 > 0:07:58dream for us as a family. I cannot thank the public enough for their
0:07:58 > 0:08:01support and keeping us in. We are having the best experience.I know.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04We are all having the best experience watching you, I have to
0:08:04 > 0:08:09say. Tomorrow you are dancing to a disco classic. One of of my
0:08:09 > 0:08:11favourite records ever.
0:08:13 > 0:08:23# I got the music in me #. That will be called The Gorka the
0:08:23 > 0:08:31Corker! What have you Donetsk to him. I like it?It's you, guys. Yes.
0:08:31 > 0:08:37APPLAUS So, so good. That is I Got The Music
0:08:37 > 0:08:43In Me. Has she the Cha Cha Cha in her?Cha Cha Cha Cha is one of the
0:08:43 > 0:08:47most difficult dances in the show for the girls because they wear
0:08:47 > 0:08:51heels. Have to have straight legs and it's fast. She impressed me on
0:08:51 > 0:08:56the first day. I think she's doing really well.Thank you.I'm quite
0:08:56 > 0:08:59excited for tomorrow.Here she is in the training room. Ladies and
0:08:59 > 0:09:03gentlemen are you excited by what you are seeing? Yes, you are. How
0:09:03 > 0:09:07are you feeling?I'm scared, I won't lie. I'm having the best time.
0:09:07 > 0:09:13Actually, it's one of the dances where I'm so comfortable. I feel
0:09:13 > 0:09:17really comfortable doing it. I said to Gorka yesterday in rehearsal, we
0:09:17 > 0:09:21were rehearsing late, if all fails I will go out with a smile on my face
0:09:21 > 0:09:25I want to have the best time. I feel it, we are at this point in the show
0:09:25 > 0:09:28where we have a great connection. We have built a wonderful friendship. I
0:09:28 > 0:09:32just want to do you proud and just have fun.I think he's quite proud.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37He seems quite happy. He's happy! That's good.I am.If there were
0:09:37 > 0:09:42worries about this dance what would it be? Some people have struggled
0:09:42 > 0:09:46this year. Alexandra says she like this is one.She likes it. It suits
0:09:46 > 0:09:55her and the music suits her. The music is cool cool. You need to like
0:09:55 > 0:09:59the theme. We in a jazz club.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07It's a role.He says - go out there and be yourself. Be the singer that
0:10:07 > 0:10:13you are. I said what are you then? He said - I'm just a piano player.
0:10:13 > 0:10:20He's playing himself! Good luck with it. Storm it, you beauties.
0:10:20 > 0:10:33Alexandra and Gorka. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Now, I think we can all agree, our Strictly pros have delivered
0:10:36 > 0:10:37some sensational group numbers this series.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39But what lies in store for tomorrow's Prince
0:10:39 > 0:10:40themed extravaganza?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Will there be Diamonds and Pearls?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Doves crying?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Little red corvettes?
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Purple Rain?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46I think it's time to find out!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Take a look at this.
0:10:48 > 0:10:55This week we are dancing like it's 1999.Is it new year's. I love new
0:10:55 > 0:11:00year's.No. This week's group dance is a tribute to pop legend Prince!
0:11:00 > 0:11:05Ah. Let's go.The style of dance is a fusion. I'm not from the ballroom
0:11:05 > 0:11:11world. I do hip-hop, animation and breaking, those type of dance moves.
0:11:11 > 0:11:17I love putting them together with the Cha Cha and the Jive. I fuse the
0:11:17 > 0:11:20styles together because I feel that's the perfect way to pay
0:11:20 > 0:11:24tribute to Prince. He was a style in his own.The choreography is
0:11:24 > 0:11:29amazing. Instead of our boys sometimes we've got this prop.A
0:11:29 > 0:11:33partner section with a third partner being the door frame. A lot of
0:11:33 > 0:11:37back-and-forth between the guy and the girl and the door frame. It's a
0:11:37 > 0:11:41little crazy. This is a great section. This is when Purple Rain
0:11:41 > 0:11:48kicks in. I get to dance with my wife - purple and rain. We are.
0:11:48 > 0:11:56Purple Rain.We have umbrellas as well which is tricky.We throw it up
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and we have to catch it.Flipping it, dancing on them. Everything
0:11:59 > 0:12:04could go wrong. We all love doing different styles, different steps.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07It's always good to learn. We all love Prince. We love dancing to it.
0:12:07 > 0:12:15I can't wait.Sadly, that is all the time we have. I'm going to get into
0:12:15 > 0:12:20my little red corvette and head home. Make sure you don't miss this
0:12:20 > 0:12:28performance this weekend.Opening umbrellas inside - naughty.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Now it wouldn't be a Friday without my next guests,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33once again we have scoured the nation to find three
0:12:33 > 0:12:34of Strictly's biggest super fans, who just

0:13:58 > 0:14:04with her legs in the air. I couldn't do that! She's really brought it. I
0:14:04 > 0:14:11didn't can't even do a sumba class. Susan Calman, a friend of mine -She

0:14:41 > 0:14:45leaderboard last week, can this Tango keep them?1 hurn %. I think
0:14:45 > 0:14:50she's just so naturally graceful. Some things you can't learn. She has
0:14:50 > 0:14:53those lines that we would all die for when you are dancing. She's just
0:14:53 > 0:14:57got it. I think she will deliver every week. I think they could win
0:14:57 > 0:15:02it.She said it, she said it!I do, I do.It could happen. Aston and
0:15:02 > 0:15:07Janette next. Viennese Waltz for them. They are dancing to the
0:15:07 > 0:15:13Jacksons.Famous for their Waltz of course!Thank you for Sayfulloing

0:15:18 > 0:15:22your lowest scoring dance -Week 2. How dare I. What do you make of
0:15:22 > 0:15:28these two?Brilliant. Once you have the spins together and you can cope

0:15:33 > 0:15:37see them. He is growing and growing, he loves abouting there. They will
0:15:37 > 0:15:44nail it. Everything they do turn it turns to gold.. Very excited. I'm
0:15:44 > 0:15:50quite sweaty. They have a 70s Barber Shop's theme. Does that excite you,
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Tom?No!
0:15:56 > 0:16:02LAUGHTER I love watching Debbie, and I know a
0:16:02 > 0:16:06little bit about ballroom dancing because I did go to lessons, above a
0:16:06 > 0:16:14supermarket...Oh, God, here we go, the expert...I am a bit of an
0:16:14 > 0:16:16expert. If you go to a ballroom dancing lesson you end up dancing
0:16:16 > 0:16:21with quite a lot of older women, who think they are Edith, which is fine,
0:16:21 > 0:16:27but every time I watch daddy I am blown away, how did she get those
0:16:27 > 0:16:33legs! And Bruno's face in the background! I think whatever the
0:16:33 > 0:16:36music is she will be fine.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41Ruth and Anton up next -
0:16:41 > 0:16:43how do you think they'll do dancing the paso doble?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46MUSIC: The Shady Dame From Seville by Robert Preston
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Ruth will be channelling the Shady Dame From Seville -
0:16:48 > 0:16:49are you looking forward to it?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53How do you think they will do with the paso doble, Martine?I just
0:16:53 > 0:16:59think Ruth is superwoman across the board. She has so many jobs, that
0:16:59 > 0:17:05woman, 18 jobs or so on the go! We know her. She still has time to go
0:17:05 > 0:17:11home and have a gin and make it all easy, doesn't she? She is absolutely
0:17:11 > 0:17:15brilliant and I just think that she loves Anton, loves her dancers, and
0:17:15 > 0:17:21the fact she enjoys it so much will make improved every week.So good!
0:17:21 > 0:17:26Moving onto Mollie and AJ's foxtrot - she loves ballroom.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32To Call Me Irresponsible. An old classic, Lisa.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36Are you loving the look of this?
0:17:36 > 0:17:43Yes, the was come across, and she always looks so safe in AJ's arms. I
0:17:43 > 0:17:50think she will bring it on the dance floor.The right dance to up her
0:17:50 > 0:17:53game, definitely.OK.
0:17:53 > 0:17:59Jonnie and Oti.
0:17:59 > 0:18:12Tong, they are doing a salsa.I always think of the sauce, you know,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Susan and Kevin doing a guacamole next week!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16LAUGHTER
0:18:16 > 0:18:18They dipped down the leaderboard this week with 20 points.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Do you think he can pull it back with the salsa?
0:18:22 > 0:18:25We all enjoyed watching him but I think it is difficult to do any kind
0:18:25 > 0:18:31of romantic dance, when you... It is hardly Buena Sarries, is it?
0:18:31 > 0:18:34LAUGHTER I am sure they will do a great job
0:18:34 > 0:18:35and we will all pretend it is lovely..
0:18:35 > 0:18:43LAUGHTER Martine, could this be the perfect
0:18:43 > 0:18:52moment?Of course it will be. I'm going to be positive, optimistic
0:18:52 > 0:18:56about it all, we all love trier, and I think they will come back this
0:18:56 > 0:19:00week.Please come back in about 15 minute s' time.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Brilliant stuff - give it up for our Friday panel!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Now, it's not all fun and games here at It Takes Two - oh, no!
0:19:07 > 0:19:09There's one thing we take very seriously...
0:19:09 > 0:19:17Eyes down, everyone - it's time for Ballroom Bingo!

0:19:21 > 0:19:35Ballroom Bingo! -- eyes down. Clickety click, 66. Which pro has
0:19:35 > 0:19:55the most... Attitude?I will say Karen.Karen is the queen of sass.I
0:19:55 > 0:20:06will say Oti.Oti, she will tell you right away.It's the dancing Queen,
0:20:06 > 0:20:16number 17. Which pro is the best dancer?Anton du Beke is the best.I
0:20:16 > 0:20:26really like Paschall's style. If I see myself, that just looks
0:20:26 > 0:20:33arrogant...What a silly question. Me!I am going to have to see
0:20:33 > 0:20:42myself.I would say that Neil is the best answer.That's your lot, folks!
0:20:42 > 0:20:56But remember, keep spinning! STUDIO: Thank you, Mr du Beke!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Right, let's go to the training room now
0:20:58 > 0:21:01and find out how Mollie and AJ and Ruth and Anton are getting along.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Oh, my goodness, I love the foxtrot, it feels so good, romantic, like you
0:21:05 > 0:21:10are in a film from the 40s something. It reminds me of my
0:21:10 > 0:21:14grandparents.I don't think it is very hard, but when you get it, you
0:21:14 > 0:21:19can slow read this room with this beautiful foxtrot.This week we have
0:21:19 > 0:21:24put in as many hours as always. Fantastic. Here to really an hour
0:21:24 > 0:21:36mark this week. You just stopped... LAUGHTER
0:21:36 > 0:21:41I am loving the paso doble, so passionate and fiery, so this week I
0:21:41 > 0:21:45have to stop being self-conscious and I have to give it.I love the
0:21:45 > 0:21:50paso doble, for the simple reason it is the closest of all the Latin
0:21:50 > 0:21:57dances the ballroom dancers, so for me it feels like a proper dance.I
0:21:57 > 0:22:02am a fierce and fearless woman in this, and my husband would say I can
0:22:02 > 0:22:07be quite fierce, so I will just think of him!
0:22:07 > 0:22:13Eamonn Holmes, grrr extract just joking, I love him.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Now considering Gethin gets an access all areas pass
0:22:15 > 0:22:17during his adventures around Elstree...
0:22:17 > 0:22:20It's funny really that he always ends in up wardrobe.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Let's see what he got up to.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Walking through the corridors, and it just feels a little more empty
0:22:25 > 0:22:32than usual. We are doing and Anton, but it feels a little different this
0:22:32 > 0:22:41week the usual?Yes, fewer people. Scary...I was going to say, does it
0:22:41 > 0:22:47add a little when you know the end is near? Blackpool, two weeks away?
0:22:47 > 0:22:52Is it two weeks?Like you didn't know!Do you know what, I must say
0:22:52 > 0:22:57even though it feels like we are halfway, there is still half left.
0:22:57 > 0:23:03It is not like we have done every possible.You would think there is a
0:23:03 > 0:23:09lot more to do.I recognise him! Years from Strictly Come Dancing.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13How's it going, AJ? I'm very well, thanks. Are you ready for tomorrow?
0:23:13 > 0:23:19And ready for the studio now.Can I get a selfie?I was just chatting to
0:23:19 > 0:23:26the boys about tomorrow night. Well you are doing that selfie... Both of
0:23:26 > 0:23:32your music tracks, a sensation. What a piece to dance to, Natalie Cole?I
0:23:32 > 0:23:35have trained next to Anton couple of times and have been hearing what he
0:23:35 > 0:23:40has as well so I think we will be having a bit of song-off, who has
0:23:40 > 0:23:44the coolest song this week.And Michael Jackson.I do really love
0:23:44 > 0:23:53that music.By the dancers looking good?Well, I have seen my dance and
0:23:53 > 0:23:56it is looking pretty amazing! LAUGHTER
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Just show me the first step, whilst we finish this... I know you have
0:24:00 > 0:24:09plenty to do before... Thank you, lovely stuff. Back to you. Not a bad
0:24:09 > 0:24:13lift!It takes a team to lift the... I love the fact they just did a
0:24:13 > 0:24:15selfie during the interview!
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Right, who would like to meet our next couple?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21They managed to tame a dragon with their fiery foxtrot,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23but unfortunately the same couldn't be said for the judges.
0:24:23 > 0:24:32Bow down - it's Susan and Kevin!
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Trying to maintain those shoulders, you were keeping it down, I could
0:24:35 > 0:24:40see you were working on that yet.It lacked grace and elegance, not your
0:24:40 > 0:24:48best dance for needed a -- working on that neck.Always fun to watch
0:24:48 > 0:24:59you. You always give it 110%.
0:25:02 > 0:25:12I love a fine entrance! Hello, you gorgeous two. I tell you what.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15You certainly lived up to the title of 'Queen of Dragons' -
0:25:15 > 0:25:17there was flying, fire and a fierce new look!
0:25:17 > 0:25:21He did it feel when it all came together out on the floor?It felt
0:25:21 > 0:25:25amazing, wonderful, Halloween night on Strictly, we did in a big
0:25:25 > 0:25:28performance, I was dancing with Kevin Clifton, it was unbelievable
0:25:28 > 0:25:32and I loved every second.Aw! We loved it, didn't we?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36APPLAUSE
0:25:36 > 0:25:43Strong wig game from you too - gave Ruth a run for her money!
0:25:43 > 0:25:47But how much did you enjoy it out there on the floor?You know I love
0:25:47 > 0:25:51dressing up! As soon as Halloween or any of the theme weeks come on I
0:25:51 > 0:25:55think, what can we dress up as, the first thought in my mind. When we
0:25:55 > 0:25:58first met, when all the pros and celebs meet each other, chatting
0:25:58 > 0:26:03away, it transpired we were both entered Game of Thrones and we
0:26:03 > 0:26:06thought, yeah, imagine if we partnered together, we can do a Game
0:26:06 > 0:26:09of Thrones theme!Dreams can come true!
0:26:09 > 0:26:16LAUGHTER
0:26:16 > 0:26:18But let's talk about your foxtrot - some rather harsh comments
0:26:18 > 0:26:19from the judges.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21What's your take on their critique?
0:26:21 > 0:26:27That hurts?The strange thing is they said it needed more grace, and
0:26:27 > 0:26:33it may surprise you to know that Grace is my middle name. No,
0:26:33 > 0:26:38literally, Grace is my middle name, which is a shame... But we are in
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Strictly Come Dancing, the judges are part of the competition. They
0:26:41 > 0:26:45didn't like what we did last week, but they will love what we do this
0:26:45 > 0:26:52week.They will!I like it.I love the fact you came to Susan's defence
0:26:52 > 0:26:55as well. So much support for you.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Lisa Mitchell wrote online:
0:26:58 > 0:27:01"Susan, you and Kevin are the definition of
0:27:01 > 0:27:04what we love about Strictly!
0:27:04 > 0:27:05You were amazing, joyful, perfection!"
0:27:05 > 0:27:08APPLAUSE
0:27:08 > 0:27:19I think it's clear how much Susan loves dancing on the show -
0:27:21 > 0:27:25that must be an utter joy a for you, Kevin, when creating routines?
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Yes, I think we clicked straightaway. Like I said, when we
0:27:29 > 0:27:34first met each other and met all the celebs, Susan and I clicked and were
0:27:34 > 0:27:38very chatty straightaway. We were the same sort of stuff, and started
0:27:38 > 0:27:44working off each other. We sort of go, oh, do you like this? We could
0:27:44 > 0:27:49do this, do that, we both get excited about it all. Then we both
0:27:49 > 0:27:53get excited about the number, then she throws herself into every single
0:27:53 > 0:27:58number, and every day is just an absolute joy working with Susan. I'm
0:27:58 > 0:28:02absolutely loving this series.And we can feel that and that is a
0:28:02 > 0:28:11joyful thing. I want to join in too!
0:28:11 > 0:28:14So just like the Bee Gees, let's get to some jive talking!
0:28:14 > 0:28:16You're dancing to this Shakin' Stevens classic...
0:28:16 > 0:28:18MUSIC: This Ole House by Shakin' Stevens
0:28:18 > 0:28:22The first single you ever bought? Yes, it reminds me of school discos,
0:28:22 > 0:28:31Panda pop.Well, who doesn't love a bit of Shakin; Stevens, lots of good
0:28:31 > 0:28:36memories for people, a brilliant track, a lovely fun jive for people
0:28:36 > 0:28:40to watch on a Saturday night.Kevin, are you happy with how things have
0:28:40 > 0:28:45gone this week?I'm really happy. I think training has gone brilliant.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49We have it two weeks whether judges have been quite hard on our dances.
0:28:49 > 0:28:55Look at those kicks, the bones and the slide?I am really happy with
0:28:55 > 0:28:57how it was going, but then I was really happy over the last two
0:28:57 > 0:29:04weeks...The main thing is on you know, I have done a lot of things in
0:29:04 > 0:29:07my life, but a lot of other people have liked it as well, although some
0:29:07 > 0:29:15haven't. It is personal taste. It is like coriander!It is, yes, I'm a
0:29:15 > 0:29:17huge fan! LAUGHTER
0:29:17 > 0:29:31Perfectly demonstrated. I believe there is a little theme... Some kind
0:29:31 > 0:29:37of DIY?Well, after last week's Game of Thrones we are downscaling it to
0:29:37 > 0:29:44a painter and decorator, painting a wall, then we do our wee jive.Of
0:29:44 > 0:29:51course you do! Those two things go together perfectly.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Now Kevin, we love your impressions, but from the looks of things you're
0:29:54 > 0:29:56not content with just impersonating the mighty Ballas -
0:29:56 > 0:30:02take a look at this...
0:30:02 > 0:30:08Susan Calman and Kevin Clifton... Kevin Clifton... Kevin Clifton.
0:30:08 > 0:30:16Dancing the Viennese waltz, the cha-cha-cha, foxtrot... Dancing the
0:30:16 > 0:30:32foxtrot! Dancing the Viennese waltz! LAUGHTERRolling her eyes when I
0:30:32 > 0:30:36turn my back. You said you were really enjoying dancing with me.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41What have we started? ! Good luck tomorrow. We adore the two of you.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Susan and Kevin.Thank you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:30:45 > 0:30:50That is a good eye roll.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52We've got something new for you all now!
0:30:52 > 0:30:56As we all know, our pros are some of the best in the business,
0:30:56 > 0:30:57but what have been their personal highlights while
0:30:57 > 0:30:59working on Strictly?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Let's find out as Pasha talks us through his Strictly CV.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for the new boy on the Strictly
0:31:04 > 0:31:10block, Pasha. Becoming a pro dancer on Strictly in 2011 was an amazing
0:31:10 > 0:31:14opportunity. When I walked on the Strictly stage for the first time, I
0:31:14 > 0:31:18was a little bit nervous, but dancing with all the pro girls, not
0:31:18 > 0:31:30a bad way to start, isn't it? ! My first partner was Chelsea, very
0:31:30 > 0:31:33bumibly and energetic, talented and capable in dance. The only thing I
0:31:33 > 0:31:45had to work on is to understand her accent.I'm knackerd now!Going into
0:31:45 > 0:31:49my first Strictly final felt amazing. It was the hardest week of
0:31:49 > 0:31:53our Strictly experience where you have to deliver no matter what your
0:31:53 > 0:31:57best performance.That was dramatically romantic. You have
0:31:57 > 0:32:03you've been a joy to watch this entire series.One of my favourite
0:32:03 > 0:32:09dances on Strictly came in 2012 when I was paired up with lovely Kimberly
0:32:09 > 0:32:16Walsh. For me as a choreographer the fusion
0:32:16 > 0:32:21of Cha Cha Cha and Tango it was technically demanding, but we got
0:32:21 > 0:32:2940!Dance of the season so far.We lost out in the final, but managed
0:32:29 > 0:32:33to stay great friend over the years. She still comes to watch me dance
0:32:33 > 0:32:39every year with her mum. In 2013 I was partnered up with beautiful
0:32:39 > 0:32:45Rachel Riley. I was really gutted when we left the competition, but
0:32:45 > 0:32:49our chemistry developed into something else and we're still
0:32:49 > 0:32:58together now and still dancing. Caroline Flack, Series 12, the
0:32:58 > 0:33:01golden year. From the first moment of meeting Caroline, I knew she had
0:33:01 > 0:33:08a lot of potential, but she lacked confidence. Starting from the Week 1
0:33:08 > 0:33:14she thought that everyone else was so much better than her. I think
0:33:14 > 0:33:19Jive in Blackpool finally made Caroline believe in herself as a
0:33:19 > 0:33:25dancer and from there on no-one could stop her.That was class, fast
0:33:25 > 0:33:30and you're built to last!The Show Dance in the Final will always stand
0:33:30 > 0:33:38out to me. It was quite a risky contemporary rumba and Caroline was
0:33:38 > 0:33:42going through a lot in her personal life and I thought it would be a
0:33:42 > 0:33:49great idea to transform what she felt into dance.Pasha, you are a
0:33:49 > 0:33:57brave man and that was full of risks, just gorgeous storytelling.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00We were the fist couple to receive all perfect scores in all the dances
0:34:00 > 0:34:04in the final. Unbelievable.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09When they announced our names, I think it took a split second for it
0:34:09 > 0:34:18to sink in.Caroline and Pasha! That's us - yes. That is us. We
0:34:18 > 0:34:23lifted that Glitterball up - it's quite heavy, by the way. Every
0:34:23 > 0:34:27celebrity is so different and figuring out how to unlock their
0:34:27 > 0:34:32dance potential, it's quite a tricky thing. When you leave the
0:34:32 > 0:34:38competition, you can't help but feel that you've let your partner down.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41It's never the case, but you start thinking - what could I have done
0:34:41 > 0:34:46better? That's just the nature of being a Strictly pro.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Being on Strictly, it's like being a part of a family. It's such a
0:35:00 > 0:35:05special part of my life.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14Gorgeous. That dance with Caroline, amazing.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Right, time now to get our teeth stuck into tonight's final couple.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19They had a lot at "stake" with their vampy jive
0:35:19 > 0:35:22at the weekend - luckily for them it was "fangtastic"!
0:35:22 > 0:35:28It's Gemma and Aljaz.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33There was so much content in that dance. Very, very difficult. Very,
0:35:33 > 0:35:37very fast.There were some mistakes at the beginning when you started
0:35:37 > 0:35:42off, you got on the wrong foot.I've got to congratulate you on the
0:35:42 > 0:35:49spins, good amount of retraction. It was great.
0:35:54 > 0:35:59# I want to know, if you'll be my girl
0:35:59 > 0:36:05#. Hello you naughty twosome. I can hear you being naughty at the back.
0:36:05 > 0:36:14Never!Always.That was not us.No that was Debbie... As the kids would
0:36:14 > 0:36:27say you slayed -It's my mum. Hold on.Mum!So sorry. Very funny. I'm
0:36:27 > 0:36:34not allowed it here any more. Very, very funny. As I was saying... You
0:36:34 > 0:36:38slayed that dance, it was amazing. Look at you go. So incredible. How
0:36:38 > 0:36:43was it for you, Gemma?It wasn't the best one for me. I did really enjoy.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47It I for got the beginning of the routine. Watching it back on TV you
0:36:47 > 0:36:52couldn't see that much. How it felt to how it looked was different. I
0:36:52 > 0:36:59was disa-appointed I was gutted, really.What happened? That moment
0:36:59 > 0:37:04where you forgot it?I was supposed to walk towards him and do four
0:37:04 > 0:37:10little steps I walked towards him and went - he just grabbed me. He
0:37:10 > 0:37:19just went - twist!Hallowe'en! Let's do hands.What do you learn from
0:37:19 > 0:37:23that? You were facing each other at the beginning. What do you do when
0:37:23 > 0:37:28it happens to your partner to help them recover?From now we will not
0:37:28 > 0:37:40turn away from each other - EVER. No!Just be normal!We will take all
0:37:40 > 0:37:44the turns out. Ballroom hold will be funny as we will be looking at each
0:37:44 > 0:37:54other. It was a split moment of... Panic.Panic actually. The Jive, I
0:37:54 > 0:37:58put every single step there was in there.There was a lot.There was.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03To go wrong at the beginning. Impressive to pick it up from making
0:38:03 > 0:38:07a mistake in the dance as fast as that to f forget about it and
0:38:07 > 0:38:15deliver a smashing, smashing Jive. Smashing Jive.BOOM!Bruno said it
0:38:15 > 0:38:19was proper full on jazz. Craig loved your retraction and your energy as
0:38:19 > 0:38:26well. He's constantly naughty.What are you doing?They are great
0:38:26 > 0:38:35things. Your best Jive score you've got.Was it?Yes.He has never got
0:38:35 > 0:38:45so high.The others must have been terrible then! If that was your best
0:38:45 > 0:38:50score!You were excited about going through, I love this reaction. So,
0:38:50 > 0:39:01so good. I think we might have slo-moed it.Is I get scared. Yes,
0:39:01 > 0:39:05yes.You are going in gently. Do you always get that excited about
0:39:05 > 0:39:09things?Yeah. No matter how good or bad you dance on the night, no
0:39:09 > 0:39:14matter what the comments are, it's people who vote. I would never say -
0:39:14 > 0:39:18we are safe, we are through. I would never do that. You genuinely never
0:39:18 > 0:39:22know. When you are stood waiting it's horrible. When you are called,
0:39:22 > 0:39:26you have been waiting so long you feel so grateful. It's literally I'm
0:39:26 > 0:39:37chuffed all the time. I'm squeezing him to death.She is so strong. Are
0:39:37 > 0:39:41you excited about your Salsa?Yes I like it. It's difficult. They all
0:39:41 > 0:39:45are. Every week is difficult. Everything you learnt the previous
0:39:45 > 0:39:49week you drilled into your head you have to forget about and start
0:39:49 > 0:39:56afresh. It's a great song, fun and we start facing each other.
0:39:58 > 0:40:04I hear there is a polynesian theme. This isn't actually your music that
0:40:04 > 0:40:08you are dancing to. This is the music you are dancing to. That's not
0:40:08 > 0:40:13the music they are dancing to.I like that song, by the way.How has
0:40:13 > 0:40:20training gone this week?Really good. I like the Salsa it's about
0:40:20 > 0:40:27fun. There is not much technique. First week, three lifts. We are
0:40:27 > 0:40:35going to say -Telling me you are lifting Aljaz.I feel #15i8 safer
0:40:35 > 0:40:37lifting him.How have you found them?OK. Difficult putting your
0:40:37 > 0:40:43trust in someone to throw you around. He's not dropped me, which
0:40:43 > 0:40:46is great. A bit bruised.You get used to it.Thank you for trusting
0:40:46 > 0:40:51me.A lot of women and men have dreamt about being thrown around by
0:40:51 > 0:40:58Aljaz. What is the reality of that? It's not all it's cracked up to be.
0:40:58 > 0:41:12It's quite of - do this. You are like, ah!Wow!Gemma has been be an
0:41:12 > 0:41:17inconspire situation ration.She is an inspiration every day. When we
0:41:17 > 0:41:29were paired up, what she can dance. There was that one video of Gemma
0:41:29 > 0:41:35Ibiza.The party island.Going for. It I got inspired.Can you show us
0:41:35 > 0:41:46the move? Come on, here's the music. That is the move. Honestly.
0:41:46 > 0:41:54Honestly, it was much better. I don't look good in a bikini. That
0:41:54 > 0:41:59made it into the routineAbsolutely. Yeah.We look forward to that. Good
0:41:59 > 0:42:03luck tomorrow. Good luck with the lifts and the juggle. Gemma and
0:42:03 > 0:42:09Aljaz. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:42:09 > 0:42:20It really does work! Love him.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Now, whilst I carry on trying to master this dance move,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27let's see if Aston and Jonnie have been mastering their routines
0:42:27 > 0:42:28in the training room...
0:42:28 > 0:42:31We are doing the Viennese Waltz. We are back in hold. I love being in
0:42:31 > 0:42:36hold.There are challenges, turns, change step, reverse turns and
0:42:36 > 0:42:43standing spin. There's a lot of shaping in the upper body. Making it
0:42:43 > 0:42:46look seamless when you are moving that fast. It's hard not to get
0:42:46 > 0:42:50dizzy. You are constantly spinning on the floor.Everything will have
0:42:50 > 0:42:56to be quicker and more disciplined. Good, see. It's getting there.This
0:42:56 > 0:43:00week have we have a Salsa, so hopefully this one we can have a lot
0:43:00 > 0:43:09more fun with.Heel, tap, one, slow. We are having fun and going with
0:43:09 > 0:43:12this nun number so it can be amazing.I feel like I've been
0:43:12 > 0:43:17thrown so much information and my brain has turned to mush.The Salsa
0:43:17 > 0:43:24is a party dance. We need to bring the party to the Strictly floor.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33Go for it Jonnie, believe!
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Right, time to head back to Gethin, and it's not all about the couples -
0:43:37 > 0:43:39earlier today he got cosy with some of the crew.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41Let's take a look at what happened.
0:43:41 > 0:43:44One man who does more steps on the Strictly dance floor than any of the
0:43:44 > 0:43:46guys behind me combined is Dom Jackson, the steadicam operator.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50Thank you for talking to us. What do you do on Strictly Come Dancing?I'm
0:43:50 > 0:43:56part of a ten camera, multi camera team, that work on the live shows. I
0:43:56 > 0:44:00run around the dance floor making the dancers look good.People don't
0:44:00 > 0:44:04see, it you tear around giving everyone a different perspective?
0:44:04 > 0:44:08The idea is you get shots on the dance floor to give you a
0:44:08 > 0:44:14perspective of what the dancer's face every week when they have the
0:44:14 > 0:44:20cam staring at them and the audience and 11 million viewers -- camera.If
0:44:20 > 0:44:24you are nervous going out there to dance. I remember you coming at me
0:44:24 > 0:44:28and I thought - who is this man with the camera, how do they react to
0:44:28 > 0:44:34you?You talk to them in rehearsals about the specifics of the shots.
0:44:34 > 0:44:39They have no idea. They are focused on getting the moves correct they
0:44:39 > 0:44:43don't see.What has been the hardest routine for you this year?The
0:44:43 > 0:44:48opening sequence on Hallowe'en last week I was strung up and swung down
0:44:48 > 0:44:53off the balcony behind us on the wire. Then was unhooked and carried
0:44:53 > 0:44:58on the shot for another 15 seconds Andre, yeah, I would have liked to
0:44:58 > 0:45:01have sat down afterwards, it was actually How much does painful.This
0:45:01 > 0:45:07weigh?It's about 22 kilos.It keeps you fit on a Saturday?Oh, yes. I
0:45:07 > 0:45:12don't need to go to the gym for the rest of the week. I will have a long
0:45:12 > 0:45:18lie down on Sunday this week.You will have your work cut out based on
0:45:18 > 0:45:21the pr dance behind us. Good luck with that. Thank you.
0:45:29 > 0:45:34I love this job! That was a nice jacket as well.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36Now, like Whitney Houston, I get "so emotional" every time
0:45:36 > 0:45:38I think of this year's Strictly.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40But it's not just me - our celebrities are
0:45:40 > 0:45:41feeling the love too.
0:45:41 > 0:45:42Take a look at this.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Come back here, you!
0:45:45 > 0:45:48If someone would have told me during the first week I would make it to
0:45:48 > 0:45:55the halfway point, then I would be extremely happy with that.
0:45:55 > 0:46:05Extremely.Every Sunday you just feel like it could be you. I'm just
0:46:05 > 0:46:12really happy I managed to make it this far.The fact that Gorka and I
0:46:12 > 0:46:18are at the halfway point is absolutely insane. Just for me, to
0:46:18 > 0:46:26still be a part of it, it is a dream come true.It's absolutely
0:46:26 > 0:46:35astonishing, and I never dream for a single second we would still be here
0:46:35 > 0:46:39in week seven.Making it the halfway is amazing, and we asked all here,
0:46:39 > 0:46:44still fighting.I'm absolutely loving learning a new dance each
0:46:44 > 0:46:49week. This is the most amazing experience.You don't really want it
0:46:49 > 0:46:55to end. When you are in this bubble, it is great, but just thinking,
0:46:55 > 0:47:00there is half gone, only half left. I hope we can push on to the very
0:47:00 > 0:47:06end, because that would just be... That would be amazing.Week seven,
0:47:06 > 0:47:10and I'm still here. I can't believe it. It is incredible, quite surreal
0:47:10 > 0:47:15actually. I have to keep pinching myself. I'm on Strictly Come
0:47:15 > 0:47:23Dancing! It's amazing. It feels fantastic because, you
0:47:23 > 0:47:26know, in the beginning I didn't know how it would go and I didn't want to
0:47:26 > 0:47:30be one of the first out, and to make it to this point, past Halloween, it
0:47:30 > 0:47:36is just phenomenal.When you start this competition you have no idea
0:47:36 > 0:47:43how many weeks you will be in it for, but to get halfway through, I
0:47:43 > 0:47:48feel really lucky and I am loving every minute of it.Oh, I know! It
0:47:48 > 0:47:50is getting emotional!
0:47:50 > 0:47:57Right, time now to talk about the rest of
0:47:57 > 0:47:59They're back - it's our glorious Friday Panel, everyone!
0:47:59 > 0:48:02Let's jump straight into things and talk about Joe
0:48:02 > 0:48:04and Katya and a Charleston.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07They're wooden soldiers - are you excited?
0:48:07 > 0:48:14Like a real by! Yes, I mean, I think he has definitely got the knees for
0:48:14 > 0:48:20it.A nice little bones they are. Great character in the stands, do
0:48:20 > 0:48:26you think, Lisa?Absolutely, the inner act, and the more he gets his
0:48:26 > 0:48:29face out, that is what the Charleston is about, and hopefully
0:48:29 > 0:48:33the feat will do the same.The Charleston is so much fun and I love
0:48:33 > 0:48:39it when they do the critic Rossi legs. -- the crisscrossed legs. All
0:48:39 > 0:48:45to play for, isn't it!If Bruno is ever off again we will just have, I
0:48:45 > 0:48:47think! LAUGHTER
0:48:47 > 0:48:50Next up it's Susan and Kevin - of last week's lowest scoring dances
0:48:50 > 0:48:53- is the jive going to save them from the same fate?
0:48:53 > 0:48:56Do you think it will go down better with the judges?They gave them such
0:48:56 > 0:48:59a hard time last week. I think they will really come into their own last
0:48:59 > 0:49:02week because she has the most amazing bounds. When she dances she
0:49:02 > 0:49:09gets up so high in these dances seemed to sit her so I think she
0:49:09 > 0:49:17will smash it. She has the most amazing bounce.I have known her for
0:49:17 > 0:49:2112 years, know very well, and when Craig said that to her, I just
0:49:21 > 0:49:33thought, who knew that Craig had... You know, maybe a balcony, maybe
0:49:33 > 0:49:39gravel chips, but never a lawn.I need you as my best friend!Susan
0:49:39 > 0:49:42works so hard. She is a comedian by trade and she is always funny. I
0:49:42 > 0:49:47know she cares about the dancing so much, so I am very supportive of her
0:49:47 > 0:49:53and I think she is doing a great job.I don't know her, but when I am
0:49:53 > 0:49:57watching her dancing I always forget I am watching a competition. She
0:49:57 > 0:50:06just oozes enjoyment.That is what you want to watch.Alex and Gorka,
0:50:06 > 0:50:10what are they doing? Cha-cha-cha! Tyre, you'll love this dance, I can
0:50:10 > 0:50:16tell! Let's look at them in training. Lisa, what do you make of
0:50:16 > 0:50:20these two?She is on a one-way motorway to the final, unbelievable.
0:50:20 > 0:50:26It is the way she owns every dance, it comes out from every pore in her.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29And I saw that in the rehearsal room, she just wants to get it
0:50:29 > 0:50:35right, get better week after week, and it is fantastic.Glorious stuff.
0:50:35 > 0:50:44I think she is ace.She is, and what about Davood and Nadiya? They have
0:50:44 > 0:50:47an American smooth this week. They have been stuck in the middle of the
0:50:47 > 0:50:50leaderboard and people have been saying they need a break-out dance,
0:50:50 > 0:50:56but could this be the one?Davood, I like very much, but I didn't enjoy
0:50:56 > 0:51:00his last dance very much because I thought it was a lot of standing
0:51:00 > 0:51:03still and walking forward which, to be honest, anyone could do at a bus
0:51:03 > 0:51:07queue. But I think they will be great... And where we are talking
0:51:07 > 0:51:12about Davood, can I just say again, how great is Debbie McGee? She is 98
0:51:12 > 0:51:17years old as well. How she does it, I just don't know!
0:51:17 > 0:51:23LAUGHTER He should be a judge on the shore!
0:51:23 > 0:51:32She is only 59! And just putting that... Gemma and Aljaz, very
0:51:32 > 0:51:42quickly, a salsa, Prince, what do you reckon?Let's have a little look
0:51:42 > 0:51:48-- Martine, what do you think? I think they could be the ones to
0:51:48 > 0:52:00watch.She is my winner, actually. Wow!Go, Gemma!Who is your winner?
0:52:00 > 0:52:12Debbie McGee, in every way.What about your best friend?Yes, Susan,
0:52:12 > 0:52:18oh, Susan! She's not here, is she? Who is your winner, Martine?I
0:52:18 > 0:52:23genuinely, at this point in time, I don't know, because Blackpool is
0:52:23 > 0:52:27coming up, and they were all pull out...Who doesn't want to go to
0:52:27 > 0:52:32Blackpool? LAUGHTER
0:52:32 > 0:52:40Very quickly, who is going home, Lisa?I think Davood and Nadiya.I
0:52:40 > 0:52:45think Debbie McGee will go because she will be poached by Hollywood!
0:52:45 > 0:52:48Martine?I don't know, really don't know, because they are all
0:52:48 > 0:52:56surprisingly. I thought I had it when it started, but now I just
0:52:56 > 0:53:01don't know, they are all surprisingly.What a glorious panel.
0:53:01 > 0:53:03Right, for the final time let's head back to
0:53:03 > 0:53:05the Strictly HQ to see what Gethin got
0:53:05 > 0:53:09up to earlier today.

0:53:28 > 0:53:34although you are missing your partners?Everyday something new,
0:53:34 > 0:53:37really exciting, it is brilliant.I feel like Brian has not quite got

0:54:00 > 0:54:09absolutely miss him so much, he still sends me the old WhatsApp
0:54:09 > 0:54:13message in there.Is he still talking about dancing?He has joined
0:54:13 > 0:54:19a dance class! He shows me little videos, and he says, Di, I still
0:54:19 > 0:54:24can't dance, but I say, you can, but he is watching the show, and he said
0:54:24 > 0:54:28every single person, he sends every individual good luck message every
0:54:28 > 0:54:32week, so that is really sweet.I know you guys are busy with the

0:54:51 > 0:55:00doing?Amazing, and we are doing a jive.I have Mr Tim Vincent. I'm
0:55:00 > 0:55:03sorry, but obviously being from Australia I never got the chance to
0:55:03 > 0:55:06watch Blue Peter, so I heard all about the badge and everything. I
0:55:06 > 0:55:11have looked it up, got all the details of it all.It is an amazing
0:55:11 > 0:55:14show under used to have some fantastic presenters. Some, more
