0:00:59 > 0:01:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hello, and welcome to It Takes Two!
0:01:03 > 0:01:04What a weekend!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Eight couples left in the competition,
0:01:06 > 0:01:07which means one thing - Blackpool week
0:01:07 > 0:01:08officially starts here!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11ORGAN MUSIC PLAYS.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13But sadly one couple have just missed out on that
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Tower Ballroom magic.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Yes, Ruth and Anton were eliminated from the competition.
0:01:19 > 0:01:25Sad times!
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Will be talking to them and giving them love in a moment.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Helping them go out with a bang tonight -
0:01:31 > 0:01:35it's Susan and Kevin!
0:01:35 > 0:01:36What a tango this weekend.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Plus, joining us to give an overview of the series so far -
0:01:39 > 0:01:42it's last year's champ, Ore!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But first, some things are just meant to go together,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49and from the start, Ruth and Anton were the perfect pairing.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Before we say goodbye, let's take a look at them having
0:01:52 > 0:02:02"heaps" of fun in their last dance.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10# I'm losing everything # It's like the sun going down on
0:02:10 > 0:02:16me.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Ruth and Anton, everyone!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27So joyous.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Recovered from that rugby scrum?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36We didn't plan any of that. We were walking to the dance floor saying,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39we haven't planned anything. And I thought, that's why I love you,
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Anton du Beke. I didn't know everybody else would pile on.Very
0:02:44 > 0:02:50cute with Debbie on to the top at the very end.I thought it might
0:02:50 > 0:02:56kill you. That wouldn't be good. Anton never moved again.I was
0:02:56 > 0:03:04clenching, don't worry.You have been one of our favourite pairings.
0:03:04 > 0:03:10One of?I have to remain impartial. I am fine, but very disappointed,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14mostly for this man because I would love to do a ballroom dance in the
0:03:14 > 0:03:21Tower Ballroom, but it wasn't to be. I didn't do a good foxtrot.I
0:03:21 > 0:03:25thought you did a good foxtrot. I don't think they understood it.
0:03:25 > 0:03:32Traditionally we have slows in the foxtrot and recovered that with the
0:03:32 > 0:03:38first step. And then we did a selection of weaving. Then the fall
0:03:38 > 0:03:46away, look at that. And then we have a little fall away, more fall away.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51And then a weave and then fall away. And you did they locked backwards as
0:03:51 > 0:04:01well.Are we going backwards now? Let's go that way instead. You did
0:04:01 > 0:04:05look beautiful. It was a special tune for you. If you are going to go
0:04:05 > 0:04:11out, go out in the arms of the King of ballroom.I did love the hats and
0:04:11 > 0:04:14canes at the top. Unfortunately the judges didn't talk about that much,
0:04:14 > 0:04:19apart from saying it was out of time.They don't know what they are
0:04:19 > 0:04:24talking about. Most of them can barely see.I noticed some jazz and
0:04:24 > 0:04:30the Keynes. You have done it all. It was a dance-off of foxtrot. It's
0:04:30 > 0:04:33proving to be as tricky as the judge etcher this year.The judges don't
0:04:33 > 0:04:45understand it. It is the hardest of all the ballroom dances because
0:04:45 > 0:04:49there is a simplicity of choreography. Or there should be. It
0:04:49 > 0:04:53is supposed to flow elegantly across the four. You don't want to
0:04:53 > 0:04:57overcomplicate it with intricate choreography. Then it becomes a bit
0:04:57 > 0:05:01like the warts. It's very difficult to get the smoothness and elegance
0:05:01 > 0:05:13of the dance. -- a bit like the
0:05:14 > 0:05:21waltz. It but it is very stupid. From the very beginning the whole
0:05:21 > 0:05:26nation was hoping you two would be paired up.I was the whole nation!
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Look at the magic that followed. Here is your strictly story.I have
0:05:31 > 0:05:34to keep pinching myself. I monster come dancing. I feel like a
0:05:34 > 0:05:43princess.You will be swapping Heymann with... Anton. I can't
0:05:43 > 0:05:48believe I could have been this lucky.We are doing the waltz first.
0:05:48 > 0:05:58Lovely.Look at me. Don't look at me. Look at me a bit.You have this
0:05:58 > 0:06:02wonderful aura about you. You had a lot of mistakes but you are very
0:06:02 > 0:06:09graceful.Ruth is amazing. She is a natural charleston dancer.The line
0:06:09 > 0:06:19is fast.Just a bit faster.We had no idea you were such a good
0:06:19 > 0:06:29flapper.You nailed it today!Left, right, close.I love the rumba. It's
0:06:29 > 0:06:32sensual, tents and sexy. I hope I can do all that and remember the
0:06:32 > 0:06:40steps.I thought the rumba was very stilted and it lacked action.It has
0:06:40 > 0:06:46to have heat, it's a Latin dance. And your timing went right off.I'm
0:06:46 > 0:06:49still loving my Strictly experience despite being towards the bottom of
0:06:49 > 0:06:56the Leaderboard. Tango is just walking very quickly to music, being
0:06:56 > 0:07:04a bit intense. I can walk. Can I be intense? I will give it a go.I felt
0:07:04 > 0:07:11you were in the moment. Great improvement.Well done, amazing.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16This is my happy tango face. Anton has told me he wants it to be like
0:07:16 > 0:07:22an old style samba. I don't really know what a new style samba is.Lots
0:07:22 > 0:07:26of content, you are on the wrong foot here and there, but who cares.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I loved the comedy, but I didn't love the technique.I can't believe
0:07:30 > 0:07:36I made it to Halloween week. Thrilled.The counting things seems
0:07:36 > 0:07:45to be foxing her somewhat.You have made a wonderful improvement, so be
0:07:45 > 0:07:49proud.It lacked any style and I thought it was too heavy and too
0:07:49 > 0:07:54sloppy.I can't please Craig.I didn't agree with everything he
0:07:54 > 0:08:00said.I love the paso doble. I am a fearless and fearless woman in this.
0:08:00 > 0:08:07My husband can say I can be quite fierce. I will just think of him.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Ruth, you represent absolute joy. I have never seen a paso doble so
0:08:12 > 0:08:15humorous. If you can hold onto a narrative like that, I want to watch
0:08:15 > 0:08:21it every time.Learning to dance is everything I thought it would be.
0:08:21 > 0:08:29This is nice.It's fantastic.I felt like you were trotting like a horse.
0:08:29 > 0:08:36Sadly you were slightly out of your depth.Who are you going to save?
0:08:36 > 0:08:46Jonnie and 20. -- Jonnie and Oti.He has made this so much fun and I hope
0:08:46 > 0:08:55we will be friends for a long time. You are amazing.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04We have never seen a couple laugh so much at the joy of it. Eight dances
0:09:04 > 0:09:08that you've learned.I'm so thrilled to have got this far. I didn't think
0:09:08 > 0:09:15I would make it past week two or three.That far?!He is the most
0:09:15 > 0:09:19wonderful teacher. We laughed a lot, he's so patient and he didn't tell
0:09:19 > 0:09:24me for once, even when I cried. He made me a cup of tea, and it got to
0:09:24 > 0:09:30the point where he just brought a hankie and I cooked it in my skirt.
0:09:30 > 0:09:36It has been wonderful watching your confidence grow. -- tucked it. Your
0:09:36 > 0:09:47biggest supporters, Eamonn and Jack have been there every week.They
0:09:47 > 0:09:54will get some decent dinners now I'm back. I said in my speech, and they
0:09:54 > 0:09:56can't put everything in, to have them there every single week is a
0:09:56 > 0:10:01big commitment from your family. Especially Jack, he's only 15, but
0:10:01 > 0:10:05he loved it. He was quite emotional on Saturday.You showed me a message
0:10:05 > 0:10:12she wrote you, which was beautiful. Only one can go on to win now. You
0:10:12 > 0:10:18have made some amazing friends. Who is getting your support?They will
0:10:18 > 0:10:24all get my support. I'm not going to say who I want to win because I love
0:10:24 > 0:10:27them all and think they all doing incredibly well.That's not what you
0:10:27 > 0:10:34said yesterday.I'm not saying it. I think Debbie has a very good chance.
0:10:34 > 0:10:42Flexi McGee. Please tell me you will continue experimenting with and
0:10:42 > 0:10:47wearing those wigs. And love to Eamonn
0:10:47 > 0:10:49wearing those wigs. And love to Eamonn, maybe next year he will
0:10:49 > 0:10:55follow in your footsteps!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Give it up for Ruth and Anton everyone!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Now, this year's series has already been full of surprises.
0:11:03 > 0:11:10We've had incredible performances, high scores and shock dance-offs.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13But it's still fair to say that this year's champ is too early to call.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16So, we've bringing in a man to help make sense of it all.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18It's time for Ore's Overview.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35It is the reigning champion.
0:11:35 > 0:11:36Ore, everyone!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44It is super smashing to see you. Lovely to be back on the air. It's
0:11:44 > 0:11:48weird without Joanne, but it's nice. We will make a little puppet.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Have you been enjoying the class of 2017?
0:11:51 > 0:11:55It's weird when you first watch and you are not involved.It's
0:11:55 > 0:11:59different, but I'm loving it, like a super fan all over again. All those
0:11:59 > 0:12:04emotions on the sofa on a Saturday night, curled up with my blanket and
0:12:04 > 0:12:09my tissues in hand. It never goes away.Still weeping.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13This time last year you and Jo had just danced a rumba and were placed
0:12:13 > 0:12:14fourth on the leaderboard.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Proof that things can still change - right?
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I remember that week so vividly because we had been in the dance of
0:12:22 > 0:12:27the week before. It was just a case of, get to Blackpool, no matter the
0:12:27 > 0:12:31score, just get to Blackpool. It was relief. And things can change after
0:12:31 > 0:12:37that. We are just past halfway. The journey is still there, the glass is
0:12:37 > 0:12:39half full. Loads still to come.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I know you've been following this series very closely -
0:12:42 > 0:12:45so let's talk about some of your findings.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Let's have a look at the overall Leaderboard. We have the remaining
0:12:48 > 0:12:54couples here. Even though Susan and Kevin and Jonnie and Oti are at the
0:12:54 > 0:12:57bottom, it is not very distant in points to the top considering we've
0:12:57 > 0:13:03had more than eight weeks of dances. But Alexander and Debbie have
0:13:03 > 0:13:10consistently been excellent and the scores relate to that. -- Alexandra.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Everybody has been awesome.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15So, only three boys left in the competition.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Let's start with the combined highest scorer of the three - Joe.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25What have you noticed?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Joe has been fantastic. Consistent all-rounder. He opened up with the
0:13:28 > 0:13:33drive, which was fantastic. He had to the rumba, which bizarrely was
0:13:33 > 0:13:40the same time last series last year as me, and he is mirroring me well.
0:13:40 > 0:13:47-- he opened up with the jive. Their charleston was really good, 36,
0:13:47 > 0:13:54really good. He has some tens as well. His last three weeks have been
0:13:54 > 0:13:58in the 30s. Consistency from Mr McFadden.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Shirley has called him the dark
0:13:59 > 0:14:01horse of the competition.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Do you agree with her?
0:14:03 > 0:14:08I say no. It's not a dark course, using the top three. He's a bright
0:14:08 > 0:14:15horse, he's a unicorn. He has been great.
0:14:15 > 0:14:21Moving onto the comeback kid - Davood.
0:14:21 > 0:14:28When he was in the bottom two I said not to worry because remember Ore.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33The high-scoring charleston, I get distracted by his pecs.He's a
0:14:33 > 0:14:39beautiful boy.I'm amazed by the soap actors because of the hours
0:14:39 > 0:14:44they spend doing their show. And then to pull this out, 38 on the
0:14:44 > 0:14:49charleston was fantastic. And part of the ten club as well. He's a bit
0:14:49 > 0:14:54more of a ballroom boy. I don't think he has had 30 in Latin. If
0:14:54 > 0:14:57anything is holding him back, it's probably that. But with his wingspan
0:14:57 > 0:15:03as broad as that, he can do anything.Wingspan, never heard that
0:15:03 > 0:15:04before. Like it.
0:15:06 > 0:15:12Let's move onto our final gentleman - Mr Jonnie Peacock.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17He's only 24. He is still so young, but so much work. He hasn't reached
0:15:17 > 0:15:21the heights of some of the others and has only been in the dirty club
0:15:21 > 0:15:25a couple of times, so at this point he has to start improving his
0:15:25 > 0:15:34scores. -- the 30 club. But that was a reminder of what that guy can do.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It was absolutely awesome. And you can see the thriller on his face. Do
0:15:38 > 0:15:43you think he has something to prove in Blackpool?He has two bounce back
0:15:43 > 0:15:46but if you're going to rise to the occasion, it is going to happen in
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Blackpool.OK, we will discuss the ladies in a moment.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52So we've hit half time mark in Ore's Overview,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56but there's plenty more to get through tonight.
0:15:56 > 0:16:06He's the champion! We have a big Friday coming up.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Before we do, let's take a look at all the
0:16:08 > 0:16:10behind the scenes action from Strictly at
0:16:10 > 0:16:11the weekend.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Medic!
0:16:16 > 0:16:24Another week, another dance.Made it halfway and no one is safe.Any one
0:16:24 > 0:16:30of us could be in that dance-off.I just got to make it to Blackpool.
0:16:30 > 0:16:38Let's do this!I was spun around like a rag doll this week, so
0:16:38 > 0:16:44hopefully I will survive.It would be a recipe for disaster if it
0:16:44 > 0:16:48doesn't go right. There was one where you through the hat at me and
0:16:48 > 0:16:54it was like a frisbee coming at me. Tango is passionate and intense and
0:16:54 > 0:16:58I didn't think I would get here, never mind Blackpool, so to get to
0:16:58 > 0:17:04Blackpool would be brilliant, wouldn't it?The make up always
0:17:04 > 0:17:15makes me feel confident.He's getting his body out.If he comes on
0:17:15 > 0:17:24with a teacher, I would be worried. Set the scene for Blackpool.White
0:17:24 > 0:17:31sandy beaches, endless sunshine. None of that.I think this is very
0:17:31 > 0:17:38Blackpool.If we get to Blackpool, we will get fish and chips on the
0:17:38 > 0:17:42pier and go on the rides on the pleasure Beach. We need to get to
0:17:42 > 0:17:50Blackpool. Come on!Seal is here and he has requested for me to dance,
0:17:50 > 0:17:55which is a lovely thing for him to do. It is lovely when singers can
0:17:55 > 0:18:06dance.It is the boss here, Al, who keeps a file in check. We have a big
0:18:06 > 0:18:10team of people who we work with.We have a big team who are with us all
0:18:10 > 0:18:15series.Greg is the one who gets all the limelight.Yes, it is a bit like
0:18:15 > 0:18:21having your own lap dog around the place.OK, here we go. Ladies and
0:18:21 > 0:18:34gentlemen, five-minute!Showtime. Who is going to make it through to
0:18:34 > 0:18:50Blackpool?I found the foxtrot very hard this week.This is Strictly
0:18:50 > 0:19:00Come Dancing.That was lovely. We were having a good old castle there.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'm back here with Ore!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05So we've talked about the boys, but let's face it, there's a lot
0:19:05 > 0:19:07of Girl Power going on this year - five ladies left.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Fans might be interested to know, at this stage last
0:19:10 > 0:19:16year, it was flipped - five boys and only two girls!
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Bringing the sass, girls!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19What can you tell us about our lovely
0:19:19 > 0:19:22ladies?
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Great to see the five of them still bringing the girl power. Debbie is
0:19:27 > 0:19:31at the top of the leaderboard and she has been awesome all series,
0:19:31 > 0:19:38along with Alexandra. Only six points between them so it is tied.
0:19:38 > 0:19:45Shall we play a little game? Ooh, we have spent the money.Debbie has
0:19:45 > 0:19:58managed to bag herself seven tens.
0:20:00 > 0:20:07And Alexander had eight. So even in the tens, it is really tight.So
0:20:07 > 0:20:13could lovely Flexi McGee do it?I loved that Ginger Rogers tribute
0:20:13 > 0:20:19with Giovanni. She has been top of the leaderboard three times in a row
0:20:19 > 0:20:22before she did this dance this weekend and I don't think anybody
0:20:22 > 0:20:26has done that before. No one has ever had a perfect 40 in week seven.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30So the girl has been breaking records.I know, she is smashing
0:20:30 > 0:20:36those records. Let's talk about Alexandra. She is the Queen. So
0:20:36 > 0:20:43incredible this weekend.I needed another cold shower after that. I
0:20:43 > 0:20:48have at least three a day.And she is going to be doing a Quickstep
0:20:48 > 0:20:51that Black broke. I think that will be awesome. What can you tell it
0:20:51 > 0:20:57about that?Believe it or not, last time they only had seven, so they
0:20:57 > 0:21:04had been top drawer every time. I think jive, cha-cha, Argentine
0:21:04 > 0:21:09Tango, consistently high. So you might say Baldry and you may need to
0:21:09 > 0:21:16bring it but I think she has ability, Alexandra. The Quickstep.
0:21:16 > 0:21:27With the bounce. It is going to be something else. So Susan has been
0:21:27 > 0:21:30incredible. She is working so hard and has a massive following. It is
0:21:30 > 0:21:39so exciting.Thanks for coining the I am going to do at Ore, Susan.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44People haven't given me enough jip for that! Everyone has loved Susan
0:21:44 > 0:21:49bringing the entertainment factor. She is all about jiving in a
0:21:49 > 0:21:53glittery overalls. That it was a serious moment. So even though they
0:21:53 > 0:21:57haven't necessarily scored as highly as the rest of them, they are
0:21:57 > 0:22:00obviously getting audience back into out and people really love seeing
0:22:00 > 0:22:06Kevin and Susan Susan and seeing them in Blackpool again, that guy is
0:22:06 > 0:22:12in love with that place.That is the BT started for the weekend. Let's
0:22:12 > 0:22:20talk about Mollie to. Her reaction said it all. Bless her. The judges
0:22:20 > 0:22:26differ quite a hard time at the weekend, so it is good to see.Yell,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and it is so hard to bounce back from being in the dance-off and I
0:22:29 > 0:22:32think she would have been crestfallen had that been three
0:22:32 > 0:22:36weeks in a row so this is the chance now, you have been given a reprieve
0:22:36 > 0:22:41so I want to see Mollie and AJ bring it in Blackpool as well. I notice
0:22:41 > 0:22:51the Charleston. That was the one where I was a weird werewolf...It
0:22:51 > 0:22:58was an amazing marriage of styles. It worked so well I nearly dropped.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Let's talk about Gemma. She had a hard time at the beginning. Can she
0:23:02 > 0:23:06get back into it?She absolutely can because if you remember when they
0:23:06 > 0:23:10did their paso doble and it is that channelling that they really need to
0:23:10 > 0:23:15bring in Blackpool because she was so fierce. They just need to
0:23:15 > 0:23:21remember.That face.Look at the intensity that you can see. I know
0:23:21 > 0:23:24that they are loving training in Manchester and you can see to that
0:23:24 > 0:23:31performance just how much chemistry that they have. Even though they
0:23:31 > 0:23:41have had seven times... 12 times. Forget that. So that is the
0:23:41 > 0:23:46statistic to remember.Before we go, I had to wish you good luck because
0:23:46 > 0:23:50this man, the champion, will be dancing again for your delegation,
0:23:50 > 0:23:56people. And he will be singing a Gene Kelly number four Children in
0:23:56 > 0:24:02Need.I can't wait, but it is all for Children in Need, and this is me
0:24:02 > 0:24:06getting behind it so whatever you can do to fundraisers, do it.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Hopefully see you for another surprise on Friday night.Good luck,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Ore. It is going to be incredible!
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Time now to meet my final guests.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Their emotional tango lit up the dance
0:24:17 > 0:24:19floor and ticked all the right boxes on
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Saturday night - it's our firecrackers, Susan
0:24:20 > 0:24:27and Kevin.
0:24:27 > 0:24:33MUSIC PLAYS: Firework by Katy Perry. You did every single step at
0:24:33 > 0:24:39precisely the right time.Your posture is the main thing that
0:24:39 > 0:24:43bothers me, and your face did look in pain.I think you'd asked
0:24:43 > 0:24:47everything right from your heart today. From week one to this one,
0:24:47 > 0:24:51you have made huge strides.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52It's Susan and Kevin!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Forget about fireworks - Baby, you're a
0:24:54 > 0:24:58tango dancer!
0:24:58 > 0:24:59That was amazing stuff.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04How was opening the show?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08It was so exciting. We've never opened the show before. I was in a
0:25:08 > 0:25:11beautiful dress and my make-up was extraordinary. Kevin was in his
0:25:11 > 0:25:16tales, which is my favourite look. And it was wonderful. Just opening
0:25:16 > 0:25:20the show with a tangle. You didn't ask for more from Strictly Come
0:25:20 > 0:25:20Dancing.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22We could see you getting teary - when
0:25:22 > 0:25:26did the emotion hit you?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29It was going really well and the audience were starting to go and buy
0:25:29 > 0:25:34the end of it, you could almost see the emotion bubble up.It is a
0:25:34 > 0:25:38strange thing because I haven't danced before it and so I did not
0:25:38 > 0:25:41expect to feel emotions dancing. I am a very emotional person. Kevin
0:25:41 > 0:25:44knows that. I don't think there is anything wrong with being emotional
0:25:44 > 0:25:48because that is what is dance is. We were watching the Remembrance Day
0:25:48 > 0:25:52dance and that was emotional and I have been taken aback by how it is
0:25:52 > 0:25:56affecting me, it is actually the act of dancing. It is a very emotional
0:25:56 > 0:26:02thing. I am not going to stop doing it because I think it is quite nice.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06It really is. I anti-ring up, watching it at home. Kevin, you
0:26:06 > 0:26:10promised us a proper tangle. You must have been so happy that Susan
0:26:10 > 0:26:15did so brilliantly.It was a real gamble for us because we have been
0:26:15 > 0:26:19doing light and fun and joy us where we can kind of smile our way through
0:26:19 > 0:26:24all the time and this was a real gamble, doing something serious. It
0:26:24 > 0:26:27was all content. There was no gimmick to it so the only thing the
0:26:27 > 0:26:30judges could look at and comment on was her dancing and techniques or I
0:26:30 > 0:26:35said last week that I was adamant that I want people to see Susan for
0:26:35 > 0:26:38the dancer that she is and not just somebody fun on the show and she
0:26:38 > 0:26:41went out and showed it to everybody and I am so proud of her. She is a
0:26:41 > 0:26:47dancer.She is a dancer! CHEERING
0:26:47 > 0:26:49And strong comments from the judges.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Bruno said he expected you to go off but you
0:26:51 > 0:26:53did every step at exactly the precise time.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56How did it feel to prove him wrong?
0:26:56 > 0:27:00I think Bruno was slightly confused by me for several weeks and I didn't
0:27:00 > 0:27:04feel like he was getting me. I don't think he was entirely sure. And
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Craig, every week I am chipping away at him. I think if the show was a
0:27:09 > 0:27:14year-long, I would get a ten. If I had another year with Craig, I would
0:27:14 > 0:27:23get there.So you're going to Blackpool. How excited are you about
0:27:23 > 0:27:27that?It is wonderful. It was difficult in the Results Show
0:27:27 > 0:27:31because we were second and when you're in that position and the red
0:27:31 > 0:27:33light goes on someone, you don't want to celebrate because somebody
0:27:33 > 0:27:38is going to the dance-off, so we were really pleased but it was quite
0:27:38 > 0:27:41difficult because Ruth and Anton have been so wonderful on the show.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46It is horrible when you see that happening. But, yeah, Blackpool,
0:27:46 > 0:27:59baby!I'm a sticky back in time. --
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, let me cast you're mind back to Tuesday
0:28:01 > 0:28:02the 19th of September at
0:28:02 > 0:28:10precisely 10.52am, when you tweeted this...
0:28:10 > 0:28:15I know you are a woman of your words. Which is funny because we
0:28:15 > 0:28:21have Carl year from the tattooed... Are you going to do this?Yes, I am
0:28:21 > 0:28:25going to get him to write I love green is the and put it on my best
0:28:25 > 0:28:31foot which is my right foot. I'm going to get it done after the show
0:28:31 > 0:28:41is over. I love Grimsby on my foot, as I promised.I promise that I
0:28:41 > 0:28:46would get this turned into I love Grimsby on my hand as well.It is
0:28:46 > 0:28:52amazing. Very quickly, you have waited five years to get this
0:28:52 > 0:28:56concept on the show.Yes, we are doing Strictly ballroom and I have
0:28:56 > 0:28:59wanted to do this. I have a very specific idea in my head and I have
0:28:59 > 0:29:03been pitching it for five years. I know it is risky to do it on TV and
0:29:03 > 0:29:08I am not sure about it and they said this year if we got to Blackpool we
0:29:08 > 0:29:10would be allowed to do it and we are doing it.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15CHEERING Good luck, Susan and Kevin, or
0:29:15 > 0:29:21should I say Fran and Scott. It is going to be amazing.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Join us tomorrow at 6.30, where we'll chatting
0:29:23 > 0:29:25to Joe & Katya and Gemma &
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Aljaz.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28All that, plus Boagy is back!
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Erin Boag will be casting her eye over our couples
0:29:30 > 0:29:31choreography.
