CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

0:02:010:02:12

Hello and welcome to It Takes Two!

0:02:120:02:14

It's Friday, or as the kids

like to call it Fri-yay.

0:02:140:02:17

Maybe they don't.

0:02:170:02:22

A big thank you to the gorgeous

Kevin and Aljaz, I'm not letting

0:02:220:02:25

go of them just yet -

they'll be back later on.

0:02:250:02:28

Also, joining us on the Friday

panel - Clare Balding,

0:02:280:02:30

Cherry Healey and Russell Grant!

0:02:300:02:32

We have a packed show

in store for you tonight,

0:02:320:02:35

so let's kick things off in style.

0:02:350:02:37

Here singing her smash hit,

'Say You Love Me' -

0:02:370:02:40

it's the brilliant Jessie Ware!

0:02:400:02:43

# Say you love me to my face

0:02:510:03:01

# Heart's getting torn

From your mistakes

0:03:070:03:12

# Just say you want me,

That's all it takes

0:03:120:03:16

# Heart's getting torn

From your mistakes

0:03:160:03:23

# 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love

0:03:230:03:26

# If you don't wanna try

0:03:260:03:31

# But all that I've been thinking of

0:03:310:03:35

# Is maybe that you might

0:03:350:03:41

# Babe, it looks as though we're

Running out of words to say

0:03:410:03:51

# And love's floating away

0:03:510:04:01

# Slowly, slowly you unfold me

0:04:050:04:07

# But do you know me at all?

0:04:070:04:15

# Someone told me love

Controls everything

0:04:150:04:23

# But only if you know

0:04:230:04:28

# 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love

0:04:280:04:35

# If you don't wanna try

0:04:350:04:40

# But all that I've been thinking of

0:04:400:04:43

# Is maybe that you might

0:04:430:04:50

# And, babe, it looks as though

We're running out of words to say

0:04:500:04:57

# And love's floating away

0:04:570:05:02

# Won't you stay?

0:05:020:05:12

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:05:130:05:19

What a stunning performance -

there'll be more from

0:05:190:05:22

Jessie later in the show!

0:05:220:05:24

But back to business.

0:05:240:05:27

It's Friday night and I can

confirm we are only...

0:05:270:05:34

24 hours from the next live Strictly

spectacular. So we must get

0:05:340:05:39

cracking.

0:05:390:05:41

First up, we sent my stunt double -

Mr Gethin Jones - for another trip

0:05:410:05:45

to Elstree this morning to report

on all the backstage gossip.

0:05:450:05:48

Let's see what he's been up to.

0:05:480:05:51

Yes we are back in Elstree, familiar

territory for all our couples.

0:05:580:06:03

Tomorrow night you will see two

quicksteps, an Argentine tango and

0:06:030:06:15

all the couples have to deal with

the paso doble. I am going to catch

0:06:150:06:23

up with as many people as I can.

0:06:230:06:26

Now, 'When you're alone,

and life is making you lonely,

0:06:260:06:28

you can always'...

0:06:280:06:29

Rely on my first guests

to lighten the mood.

0:06:290:06:31

Fresh off the tram to '10' town -

it's the illuminating

0:06:310:06:34

Gemma and Aljaz!

0:06:340:06:39

You must be a really great student.

You listen and you listen some more.

0:06:390:06:46

Kept your body strong in the lifts.

Beautiful finishes. I loved it.

0:06:460:06:52

You're getting better and better

every week. Fantastic.

0:06:520:06:59

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Feel the love

in this room!

Body ripple.

What an

0:07:010:07:15

entrance. People are still smiling

after your incredible performance

0:07:150:07:21

last weekend. Were you chuffed to

bits?

I was so chuffed. Literally.

0:07:210:07:27

I'm still smiling, the choreography

was amazing, the music, we were up

0:07:270:07:33

North, that ball room, he told me

about it and when I walked in, I was

0:07:330:07:40

oh, my gosh.

It is wonderland. You

need to go there. And after nine

0:07:400:07:46

weeks of such hard work you finally

got the 10! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

0:07:460:07:58

Well done.

High ten!

So well

deserved. How did that feel?

You

0:07:580:08:05

know what? It felt amazing and the

fact that Shirley stood up and

0:08:050:08:10

clapped as well. Yeah, it was weird,

because when the scores were coming

0:08:100:08:15

in, you could hear them, b I was

still, I didn't know what was

0:08:150:08:22

happening.

Aljaz at what point did

you think, hang on, this is quite

0:08:220:08:28

good?

From day one of training back

in September. Open the box in fronts

0:08:280:08:36

of you. OK. Tell me to do it. What

is it?

Let's have a look.

Moustache?

0:08:360:08:47

You have two. One each. You put

those on and I will carry on.

I need

0:08:470:08:53

to unglue it.

It is quite sweaty in

here, I can't guarantee they will

0:08:530:08:58

stay on.

Oh! I feel normal.

Your mum

was in the audience, it was your

0:08:580:09:09

birthday.

I know.

Sandra's waited

years to get here.

Bless her, look

0:09:090:09:16

at her.

How much did she enjoy her

experience and what a night to be

0:09:160:09:20

there.

She loved it. She has tried

to get tickets so long for Blackpool

0:09:200:09:26

and she came on the floor after and

she was so happy. She said, you

0:09:260:09:30

didn't have to prove anything to

anyone, but I'm so proud of you.

0:09:300:09:33

Goodness. As a mum, that gets me. I

have to say I can't take you

0:09:330:09:41

seriously wearing those moustaches.

I know you love the statistics,

0:09:410:09:46

you're the only couple to have

improved in scores over the last

0:09:460:09:49

three weeks.

Well, well, well!

If

you're smiling. Why does the

0:09:490:10:07

American Smooth suit Gemma?

We did a

foxtrot a couple of weeks ago and it

0:10:070:10:12

went really well. Incredibly well,

but on the night the nerves got the

0:10:120:10:18

better of us both. Because it was

such a slow and smooth dance. The

0:10:180:10:22

music was changing types all the

time. Down town... I can't do it.

0:10:220:10:31

But the down Town was a lovely

foxtrot and doing it up in that huge

0:10:310:10:38

ballroom, which doesn't make any

accepts, because Gemma gets nervous

0:10:380:10:43

in Elstree and Blackpool ballroom is

so huge, but as soon as the numbers

0:10:430:10:48

started, you could see love in your

face and you loved the whole thing.

0:10:480:10:52

Because it's Blackpool.

It lifts you

I think.

I have so many amazing

0:10:520:10:59

memories from Blackpool.

We are

doing the show again in Blackpool.

0:10:590:11:05

We are all coming down. This weekend

it is the Samba. How has it gone?

It

0:11:050:11:11

has been OK, but it is quite light

and it is the bounce. I don't think

0:11:110:11:20

I have enough hippage. I'm quite

surfboardy. Aljaz said, no matter

0:11:200:11:26

what, he said in four weeks this

journey is over for everyone. Four

0:11:260:11:32

weeks left, enjoy it. That is what

he says. Any bits I'm going to go

0:11:320:11:36

for it.

And great music.

Oh, yeah.

Ooh! It is a beautiful thing. Lexie

0:11:360:11:52

McGhee described her Samba rolls as

like sausage rolls.

I don't eat

0:11:520:11:58

meat, but I would rather have a

sausage roll. It is like playing

0:11:580:12:03

snooker.

We explain it is like a

snooker. It is nothing like that

0:12:030:12:10

really.

When they do it tomorrow, we

will. Good luck and paso doble you

0:12:100:12:19

were great.

Put your hands up. It is

fun.

Love you too. Aljaz we haven't

0:12:190:12:32

finished with you. Find out he got

on

0:12:320:12:39

But before that let's head

back to the training

0:12:470:12:50

room to see how Mollie,

Alexandra, Joe and Debbie

0:12:500:12:52

have been getting along.

0:12:520:12:54

It is like the other dances, but a

hundred miles an hour and I'm so

0:12:540:12:59

slow. The hardest part is

remembering the sequence.

You have

0:12:590:13:07

to remember it.

Hopefully it will

become muscle memory. At the moment

0:13:070:13:15

my mind is blown.

We are going to do

it again and again until Molly gets

0:13:150:13:25

it perfectly and we are

synchronised.

The rumba is the

0:13:250:13:29

slowest of the Latin dances and that

makes it more difficult. You're so

0:13:290:13:36

open to any mistake.

You have to be

precise in every step. One, two...

0:13:360:13:41

And you need to feel the music with

the movement of your body. I know

0:13:410:13:48

Shirley is going to pay a lot of

attention, as she loves the rumba.

0:13:480:13:52

What I need to do is relax and do

the movement and enjoy it. Because

0:13:520:13:56

this is going to be a special number

for us.

It has been tiring a

0:13:560:14:08

quickstep is energetic. It is quite

complicated. There is lots of

0:14:080:14:13

rhythms and steps.

The comply

Cailleted part is that the steps

0:14:130:14:19

repeat, but all in different order

and speeds.

I'm quite exhausted. The

0:14:190:14:25

hardest part is maintaining the

energy and remembering which rhythms

0:14:250:14:32

you're going into it. Oh!

I'm loving

learning the Argentine tango. It is

0:14:320:14:40

very leggy and pointed feet and I

just feel right in it.

Beautiful.

0:14:400:14:49

The technique is coming along really

well and the legs, beautiful legs.

0:14:490:14:53

My biggest problem is to make myself

relax so I can do the technique

0:14:530:14:58

properly and I'm just not very good

at relaxing.

Relax. We have the

0:14:580:15:03

legs. We have the passion. All we

need to do now is relax. And put it

0:15:030:15:12

on show a bit more.

0:15:120:15:14

Debbie is looking good!

0:15:190:15:22

Now our Friday's wouldn't be

the same without a panel and boy do

0:15:220:15:25

we have a lineup for you tonight!

0:15:250:15:26

Make some noise for Clare Balding,

Cherry Healey and Strictly Legend -

0:15:260:15:29

Mr Russell Grant!

0:15:290:15:30

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:15:300:15:35

Calm and! -- come on. I've never

seen Clare Balding dance. Moves!

0:15:390:15:55

Were you showing them what to do?

This new woman in my life, Cherry

0:15:550:15:59

Healey. She's on BBC Three, I have

to learn to go online.

You will be

0:15:590:16:09

friends for life! Welcome. What are

you making of the class of 2017?

I

0:16:090:16:15

love it, because I treat it like a

sporting event. Those that have

0:16:150:16:19

endurance and those that can perform

in front of a big crowd. I think is

0:16:190:16:24

the most brilliant shared

experience... I have conversations

0:16:240:16:26

with everyone all over the place

about it, just like the Olympic.

In

0:16:260:16:30

the queue at the garage, the

supermarket, the library... I'm in

0:16:300:16:34

the library all the time! You are a

massive fan of the show, have you

0:16:340:16:41

had any favourite moments?

Aston's

paso doble broke me. I thought

0:16:410:16:49

Kevin's, Kevin and Susan's dance

from the Strictly Ballroom, like

0:16:490:16:55

someone living their dream and

loving it. So many.

Russell so many

0:16:550:17:00

gorgeous memories. You were dancing

with. Welcome back. Let's talk about

0:17:000:17:09

Susan and Kevin. Tomorrow, an

American smooth, it has a nautical

0:17:090:17:13

theme. Could it be perfect smooth

sailing for you, Russell? Tell me

0:17:130:17:17

what you think.

I love Susan because

she is full of joy and I love the

0:17:170:17:23

joy. I really saw the joy come out

when they did the jive, the painting

0:17:230:17:28

on the wall. I love her because its

infectiousness. I think if I was a

0:17:280:17:34

woman, I'd be Susan.

You would be

Susan! LAUGHTER

0:17:340:17:39

OK, all right, fantastic.

I might be

in a cupboard.

Are you excited to

0:17:390:17:47

see this one?

Susan's my friend that

I can't believe how well she's taken

0:17:470:17:52

to it. And she's not a dancer. I

think she's embraced the whole

0:17:520:17:56

thing. She does bring joy to attend

entertainment and I'm really proud

0:17:560:18:00

of her.

She was in a dancer and now

she is!

And she can do serious as

0:18:000:18:08

well as funny.

Alexander and Gorka,

rumba time. People can go either way

0:18:080:18:14

on this. There has never been a

perfect score for a rumba.

Could

0:18:140:18:18

this be the one? I think if anyone

is going to bring it, it's hard.

0:18:180:18:22

Look at her. She nails every single

dance. She's got the intensity, the

0:18:220:18:28

strength, and she's got that Latin

fire in her. Her last dance was

0:18:280:18:33

absolutely insane. She's just...

Like they said... Is there anything

0:18:330:18:38

she can't do?

High jump.

Is there a

touch of Alesha Dixon is there? I

0:18:380:18:45

just loved that cha-cha-cha they did

a couple weeks ago, I loved it so

0:18:450:18:51

much, because the music matched. The

music has to match the dance, you

0:18:510:18:57

feel it. When you get that music,

you just can't stop!

You can't stop.

0:18:570:19:03

I'm lost in him! We are going on to

Davood and Nadiya. Great scores for

0:19:030:19:07

them last week. They are creeping up

here. They have a waltz this

0:19:070:19:11

weekend, a tricky one because it is

so slow, it can be exposing. If they

0:19:110:19:14

are in training, what do you think?

I think Davood has improved so much,

0:19:140:19:20

growing with the competition. He is

clearly very fit and sporty anyway.

0:19:200:19:24

He has a beautiful head carriage,

like a horse in dressage. I just

0:19:240:19:30

hope they wear a proper outfit.

Yes,

it's all proper.

What? No! Don't

0:19:300:19:35

take away the sheer tops.

Oh, no! I

love the live and let die number,

0:19:350:19:46

the passion and the fire! Didn't you

like the way he came down the union

0:19:460:19:52

Jack?

I thought, I wasn't watching

that!

0:19:520:19:58

But don't worry it's not the end -

these beauties will be

0:19:580:20:00

back later in the show!

0:20:000:20:02

Right time to check

back in with Gethin -

0:20:020:20:04

it's a tough life for our Welsh

wonder, earlier today he found

0:20:040:20:07

himself cosying up with Debbie,

Alexandra and Mollie.

0:20:070:20:09

Poor lad.

0:20:090:20:12

I stumbled across Debbie, Mollie and

Alexandra. Back home in Elstree

0:20:120:20:17

after almost a week in Blackpool,

nice to be back?

So lovely to be

0:20:170:20:23

back, so nice. Everyone's here, the

food is here, that's what we all

0:20:230:20:26

really love! Everyone is really

happy. I think everyone had a good

0:20:260:20:29

week this week.

Everyone talks about

food on strictly must stop I feel

0:20:290:20:34

like dancing is taken of your life.

All you do is dancing down the

0:20:340:20:39

street, down the aisle in the

supermarket, what's going on, you've

0:20:390:20:43

lost the plot?

I don't know if I had

the plot but I've lost it. Down the

0:20:430:20:50

street, flicking, hopping down the

street.

I don't think that's in the

0:20:500:20:53

quick step, but try and see what

happens. LAUGHTER

0:20:530:20:56

Debbie, an original Argentine Tango.

Is the extended leg...?

Lots of

0:20:560:21:08

extended legs in this. Like Mollie,

it's taken over my life. I was

0:21:080:21:12

sitting in the bath last night

watching a video of rehearsals and

0:21:120:21:16

thinking, I should be relaxing, what

on earth am I doing?

You are

0:21:160:21:21

cleaning most nights!

It's my Friday

and I already started this morning.

0:21:210:21:26

I started airing the rooms and then

took all the bed sheets this

0:21:260:21:31

morning.

Stop talking about

cleaning! Talk to me about rumba.

0:21:310:21:35

Are you doing as your cleaning?

Actually, no, but I'll let you know

0:21:350:21:40

tonight. What I was doing this

morning on the car on the way here,

0:21:400:21:43

I was doing the rumba and I think

the driver thought I was a bit crazy

0:21:430:21:48

because I was going four, 12... He

said, are you all right? I said, and

0:21:480:21:55

just practising in my head.

Driver

doing all we had things on the road.

0:21:550:22:00

Three completely different answers,

I know you will be brilliant

0:22:000:22:03

tomorrow, good luck!

Thank you.

0:22:030:22:06

But enough with all the fun

and games, it's time to get serious

0:22:060:22:09

in TV's toughest challenge.

0:22:090:22:11

Never have Swivels been

as terrifying as this.

0:22:110:22:15

This year's Strictly Pro Challenge

is going back in time to the roaring

0:22:150:22:23

1920s, where they will attempt to

set a world record title for the

0:22:230:22:27

most swivel steps in 30 seconds. In

order for the swivel step to qualify

0:22:270:22:32

our pros will have to complete on

Ford on one backward step. If there

0:22:320:22:35

is no swivel in the feet and ankles,

the step will be disqualified. This

0:22:350:22:40

year's challenge will be the hardest

our pros have ever faced, but only

0:22:400:22:45

one person can claim the title. It's

the Strictly Pro Challenge 2017.

0:22:450:22:51

Thank you!

0:22:510:22:52

Please welcome our next contender...

0:22:520:22:53

He loves opera music,

is desperate for a pet cat

0:22:530:22:56

and is named after a famous tower!

0:22:560:22:58

It's Aljaz!

0:22:580:22:59

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:22:590:23:08

I'm so sorry.

Second appearance of

the night, and to be the lucky ones!

0:23:080:23:17

This is your fourth Pro Challenge.

Does it make it any easier or more

0:23:170:23:21

nerve-racking.

Not easy, definitely

not easier. I've only been doing

0:23:210:23:29

Charleston for as many years as I've

been on Strictly. The Charleston

0:23:290:23:33

swivel, I'm always happy Craig

doesn't ever pick up my swivel!

0:23:330:23:38

LAUGHTER

Interesting seeing how you pros say

0:23:380:23:43

it's really hard. You won the 2014

challenge with Karen Clifton. Not so

0:23:430:23:51

much luck on your own with the Pro

Challenge.

Thank you!

Sorry to bring

0:23:510:23:57

that up!

I don't. It was all Karen

the first time.

She will love you

0:23:570:24:04

for that. How do you rate your

swivel action?

From 1-10?

Yes.

A

0:24:040:24:12

really strong three. It was 30

seconds... I think three.

OK, let's

0:24:120:24:17

see how this wonder got on. Hold

tight, darling, here we go!

0:24:170:24:24

I've been swivelling everywhere,

tube stations, shops, studio. I'm

0:24:240:24:29

really excited to do this challenge

so I can stop swivelling!

Hello

0:24:290:24:34

Aljaz and welcome to this year's

Strictly Pro Challenge.

Thank you

0:24:340:24:39

for having a.

How are you feeling?

A

bit nervous, actually.

Duke brought

0:24:390:24:45

came in with you.

Indeed I have,

I've been practising for this

0:24:450:24:49

challenge so I haven't let go of

this cane for a while. They goes

0:24:490:24:53

everywhere with me.

Good luck on

Aljaz. Please take your place on the

0:24:530:24:57

dance floor.

I'm so excited!

For

your official attempt beginning

0:24:570:25:05

three, two, one, though. -- go.

0:25:050:25:10

Up.

15 seconds.

0:25:180:25:23

Five, four, three, two, one. Stop!

Well done.

Two more seconds and I'd

0:25:330:25:43

be out of here.

You need to breathe

more, what did you think?

When you

0:25:430:25:50

are getting tired, you pulled up and

that's why you kept going.

Do you

0:25:500:25:54

think the cane helped?

It probably

did.

Well done, Aljaz, good luck.

0:25:540:26:01

We'll see how you get an.

Can't

wait!

You can Charleston off.

I'm

0:26:010:26:08

not sure how I did but I tried my

best, I have cramp in both of my

0:26:080:26:12

calves. Judging from that, I gave it

100%.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:120:26:18

You make me laugh so much! They were

all being really serious. How do you

0:26:180:26:24

think you got on?

I think incredibly

well, just judging by that video. I

0:26:240:26:31

did practice loads. Since I left

Slovenia about 9 years ago, that's

0:26:310:26:34

all I've been doing.

That's all

you've done. After each of the

0:26:340:26:38

professionals had made their

attempt, the footage was watched

0:26:380:26:41

back by adjudicators in slow motion

to verify every single swivel come

0:26:410:26:45

to make sure they were accurate. Are

you ready for this? Yes? The wait is

0:26:450:26:51

finally over. Aljaz, I can reveal

that in 30 seconds you completed...

0:26:510:26:57

DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:26:570:27:07

LAUGHTER

18 swivels!

0:27:090:27:16

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

I look all right there.

0:27:160:27:22

However... There were mistakes. No,

no, no!

I can reveal you had five

0:27:220:27:29

steps disqualified. Furious,

furious!

I'm never doing it again!

0:27:290:27:35

The most the series, giving you a

series total of 13... The bottom of

0:27:350:27:42

the leaderboard, I'm so sorry. What

do you say to that?

What do you say?

0:27:420:27:47

It's been such a lovely Friday, such

a lovely week, and now... You see, I

0:27:470:27:53

like the number, 13.

We must ask

Janette, lots of people saying she

0:27:530:27:58

could take this title stop here I

really hope so. I hope so. I am six

0:27:580:28:03

feet and... Yeah.

To do a fast

Charleston is always difficult.

0:28:030:28:08

Excuses!

I know, excuses. We still

love you Aljaz! Good luck tomorrow!

0:28:080:28:16

Thank you, Zoe.

0:28:160:28:19

Speaking of your missus,

let's find out what happened

0:28:190:28:23

when the Latin Sensation went

to Ireland to go behind the scenes

0:28:230:28:25

at their version of Strictly.

0:28:250:28:30

Love Janette.

0:28:300:28:31

Strictly Come Dancing features all

over the world and where are we off

0:28:360:28:40

to today? Ireland, of course, why

else would I be wearing a shamrock

0:28:400:28:43

my head?

Ireland's version of Strictly is

0:28:430:28:50

called dancing with the stars on the

first series aired in January of

0:28:500:28:54

this year.

Tonight, the world's most

popular dancing extravaganza has

0:28:540:28:59

reached Ireland. Welcome to Dancing

With The Stars.

Last week the series

0:28:590:29:05

proved to be a big hit and in June

it was announced it would be

0:29:050:29:09

returning for a second series. There

are a few familiar faces from the

0:29:090:29:13

Strictly family, including one of

the judges comment Nicky Byrne, who

0:29:130:29:17

got to the quarterfinals in 2000

while. I have come to meet him to

0:29:170:29:20

find out a little more about the

show. -- in 2012. So you were a

0:29:200:29:27

contestant on Strictly Come Dancing

but now you are hosting it?

Yes,

0:29:270:29:31

when I heard the rumours last year

dancing with the stars was coming to

0:29:310:29:35

Ireland I thought, I have to be part

of this and how.

Annualised it with

0:29:350:29:40

Amanda?

Amanda is from Ireland

originally. On the final show they

0:29:400:29:44

asked myself and Amanda to do part

of the group dance. We didn't have

0:29:440:29:48

much of a rehearsal, two hours. Do

you think I got it right?

No. Karen

0:29:480:29:53

would not be proud of you!

I

stopped, I thought, I messed it up.

0:29:530:29:59

I think I made a mistake but we

won't tell anybody.

Don't have

0:29:590:30:04

anyone!

No wonder I didn't win

Strictly.

What are the judges like

0:30:040:30:09

compared to here?

Pretty similar. We

have Lorraine, Brian and Julian.

0:30:090:30:16

Brian is the nasty one-stop Hebrew

0:30:160:30:18

Brian is the nasty one-stop

0:30:180:30:19

you always have the guys backs,

you've been there, you know how it

0:30:240:30:29

feels. I think it went well...

Tell

me about the most memorable moments?

0:30:290:30:35

This guy Hughie had been on Big

Brother and he decided to apply fake

0:30:350:30:39

tan himself, continuously. When they

were going to the ad break the

0:30:390:30:43

producers are saying, you have to

stop!

I want to start off by asking

0:30:430:30:48

how Tandy 's planned?

You can never

be too tanned!

He put the show on

0:30:480:30:56

such a high-profile, it appeared on

American chat show is on the UK

0:30:560:30:59

press. What is this guy doing with

his face on dancing with the stars?

0:30:590:31:03

What a lot of you probably don't

know is the pro dancers have to

0:31:060:31:10

start rehearsing the group dance is

months in advance, and luckily for

0:31:100:31:13

us, the prose in Dublin started

rehearsing this week so I thought

0:31:130:31:16

I'd go and take a look.

0:31:160:31:18

Strictly's AJ not so little proer

brother is a professional dancer.

0:31:240:31:30

Tell me about your partner last

season.

I had a partner.

How far did

0:31:300:31:36

you get.

We tipped. Hopefully we

will win it.

You're right tall, you

0:31:360:31:43

will need a tall one.

I don't know

where I came from.

AJ's different.

0:31:430:31:48

Fingers crossed then. There is more

familiar faces too. Strictly pros

0:31:480:31:54

and champion, darn Bennett and Lilia

Kopylova. I want to know what are

0:31:540:32:02

the biggest differences between the

Irish dancing with the stars and

0:32:020:32:05

Strictly.

We have some lovely

themes. Last year we had a beautiful

0:32:050:32:10

Valentine's vehicle. And we have the

Irish week, St Patrick's Day, the

0:32:100:32:15

Riverdance and the energy they

produce is unbelievable.

We have the

0:32:150:32:19

switch up, that means the couples

get to dance with another partner

0:32:190:32:24

during that episode eight creates

different stressesches

Jealousy.

If

0:32:240:32:31

you had to pick... Oh!

What have

been the most memorable moments.

0:32:310:32:41

Contemporary ballroom. Des doing his

paso doble and Austin Powers number.

0:32:410:32:49

We have had some stand out moment

and looking forward the season two

0:32:490:32:52

and there is a lot of work to do

between now and then.

It is so

0:32:520:33:00

exciting to see another series

starting, I was going to wish them

0:33:000:33:03

good luck, but as the Irish say, if

you're lucky enough to be Irish,

0:33:030:33:08

then you're lucky enough!

0:33:080:33:11

Time now to meet my next guests.

0:33:140:33:16

They stormed the Tower Ballroom

with their dramatic Paso Doble.

0:33:160:33:18

It's Susan and her partner Kevin.

0:33:180:33:24

I loved that flamenco. That was

fantastic.

At times it looked like a

0:33:280:33:35

paso doble that had shrank in the

wash.

You covered the floor well.

0:33:350:33:40

You had some nice styling. Well

done.

0:33:400:33:45

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. # Dance

boogie wonderland. That dance has

0:33:500:34:02

gripped the nation. It was a big

moment for you, did the weekend live

0:34:020:34:07

up to expectations?

Absolutely,

Blackpool was everything I thought

0:34:070:34:13

and more. Being in the Tower

ballroom doing the dance was one of

0:34:130:34:19

greatest moments of my life.

Ole to

that I say! Serious amount of love

0:34:190:34:24

there. I love Fridays, you both have

your tans.

I can see myself on the

0:34:240:34:31

screen.

You can get emotional in

these routines, what was going

0:34:310:34:36

through your mind?

Just pride that

we had made to it Blackpool from

0:34:360:34:42

starting off not knowing if we would

make week three or four. It was a in

0:34:420:34:49

a big flamenco dress and he had his

wee gold jacket. I felt proud we had

0:34:490:34:53

made it there to do the dance that

Kevin had wanted to do.

Kevin is

0:34:530:34:59

your dream dance. Did you think,

there is a lot of pressure to put on

0:34:590:35:04

two things.

I don't want to do it.

But she did do you proud.

She did

0:35:040:35:11

amazingly. I wanted to do this for

years and paso is supposed to be the

0:35:110:35:16

man's dance in general, but I had

the this vision of having Susan in

0:35:160:35:20

the middle of the floor and doing

the flamenco and I thought, what I

0:35:200:35:24

would love is if everyone starts

clapping along. But it only happen

0:35:240:35:29

if Susan's big enough with the

performance. Off she went... Look at

0:35:290:35:33

that.

And the whole crowd...

Started

straightaway. I got chills down my

0:35:330:35:39

spine. I went, they're doing it, it

is happening, the moment I have been

0:35:390:35:46

waiting for.

You made him so happy.

Such an iconic film. I wonder if

0:35:460:35:52

anyone from the film has been in

touch?

We have had the musical have

0:35:520:35:56

been in touch saying we did them

proud. Because Strictly is coming as

0:35:560:36:02

a musical to the west end.

We have a

little something for you. We could

0:36:020:36:06

do one for you. Have a look.

Hi it

is Tara here in Sydney. 25 years ago

0:36:060:36:15

I did the paso pob lay. Doble. A

life lived in fear is a life half

0:36:150:36:26

lived.

Love!

We have been so like

that.

That is unbelievable. I can't

0:36:260:36:32

believe it. That saying she said

from the end, that was written under

0:36:320:36:39

my collar on the suit I got married

in.

I can't take any more. Thank you

0:36:390:36:46

so much.

Oh wow!

You follow that

with an American Smooth this week.

0:36:460:36:56

You're getting emotional. Beyond the

sea, Bobby Darren, it is a classic.

0:36:560:37:01

This has been my favourite week in

Strictly. We are doing a beautiful

0:37:010:37:07

Fred and Ginger American Smooth and

it is gorgeous and fun and

0:37:070:37:11

romantic... He doesn't know it yet,

but it is. In every dance I'm going

0:37:110:37:23

to kiss you and he says, no, it's

not appropriate.

And the concept?

On

0:37:230:37:30

the deck of a ship and very Fred and

Ginger style and I'm a naval captain

0:37:300:37:38

and Susan's a passenger on the ship

and we are courting.

It is such a

0:37:380:37:43

good word.

We are in the early

stages of romance. We might kiss. We

0:37:430:37:48

are going to kiss, we are going to

kiss.

You haven't done a lift since

0:37:480:37:55

the Charleston, you have been

getting the giggles.

Yes it is

0:37:550:38:00

really high up and I'm very short

and anyone above five foot is

0:38:000:38:05

terrifying. We have been trying some

ambitious lifts and I kept

0:38:050:38:10

screaming, put me down, I'm

frightened. But it will be OK, won't

0:38:100:38:14

it?

I will do me best.

Before you

go, I have to ask you about a tweet

0:38:140:38:21

you sent to a fan. We do the rumba

in the training room to make

0:38:210:38:27

ourselves laugh. No one will ever

see it. No one. You then go on to

0:38:270:38:32

say, we rumba to another level's

Freak Me. I don't think anyone needs

0:38:320:38:42

to see that. Well, we disagree. We

think people need to see it. Kevin

0:38:420:38:46

off you go.

Starts off with a bit of

wiggling like this. And a bit of

0:38:460:38:53

that.

This is amazing.

Debbie

McGhee!

Oh, look at that! It is my

0:38:530:39:05

special birthday dance.

That is

about as far as it goes.

That is

0:39:050:39:11

amazing. And a rumba. Just for you

lot. You carry on. I like to get my

0:39:110:39:23

warm ups from Ian.

0:39:230:39:27

Now, as we all know I like to get my

warm ups from Ian Waite.

0:39:270:39:30

Gethin on the other hand,

likes to get his from someone else.

0:39:300:39:33

Take a look at this.

0:39:330:39:36

Stuart getting Edinburgh in the mood

for Strictly.

Have been waiting for

0:39:360:39:41

years for this.

Explain what you do.

I'm a come per, but I'm called a

0:39:410:39:49

warm up guy who entertains the

audience before the show. I have

0:39:490:39:55

been doing it for 12 years.

You do a

brilliant show.

I'm the best in my

0:39:550:40:01

price range.

Have you ever learned

to dance?

You know what? It is a

0:40:010:40:05

very good question, because, no, I

know all the dances of Latin and

0:40:050:40:10

ballroom, but never danced. It would

be a dream come true if I could

0:40:100:40:15

dance.

I'm sure one of pros will be

watching.

Only Giovanni has offered.

0:40:150:40:25

You're famous for your attire. I see

you brought a selection with you.

I

0:40:250:40:31

like a whacky suit. I have got about

25 suits. These are a small

0:40:310:40:36

selection of the ones I will wear on

a Saturday night. So you have got...

0:40:360:40:40

You are themed. You do movie nights

and Hallowe'en.

I have a couple

0:40:400:40:45

here. I will have a suit for the

special nights that we do here. So

0:40:450:40:50

we have got great, like a love heart

one, TV test card. Not sure whether

0:40:500:40:54

you can see that. But you have got a

confety, galaxy and for the

0:40:540:41:01

special... Kind of nights, very

light.

It makes the one you're

0:41:010:41:07

wearing look dull.

This has a trick

up its sleeve. You press a button

0:41:070:41:12

and... We have gone all neon. This

will be making an appearance on the

0:41:120:41:20

final.

You have fun with the judges.

Who is your favourite.

I would say

0:41:200:41:27

Craig. I have known him a long time.

Well about three faces ago. We go

0:41:270:41:32

back a long way. That guy's the

single reason why aliens refuse to

0:41:320:41:38

make contact us with.

He is looking

great these days.

I he is. Nice to

0:41:380:41:45

meet you.

I love that boy.

0:41:450:41:51

Time now to take things down a notch

- it's that part of the show

0:41:510:41:55

where we all try to hold

back the tears.

0:41:550:41:58

This series has been such

an emotional rollercoaster

0:41:580:42:00

for our celebrities,

and they really couldn't do it

0:42:000:42:02

without their partners.

0:42:020:42:03

Take a look at this.

0:42:030:42:07

I don't think I could have had a

better partner than Giovanni. We

0:42:070:42:12

have so much fun together. And he is

such a lovely human being.

We are

0:42:120:42:18

both on the same page. Debbie's such

an amazing person to work with.

0:42:180:42:25

Molly is the perfect partner for me.

I want affection and we are striving

0:42:250:42:29

for that.

He has taught me so much

about dancing and about life. I feel

0:42:290:42:34

like the luckiest girl ever are I

week.

I like Sandra she is always

0:42:340:42:39

someone who comes every day and

loves everything what she does. I'm

0:42:390:42:43

going to miss her when this finish.

He has taught me what real

0:42:430:42:49

partnership means. I hope he

realises that. Without him I

0:42:490:42:52

wouldn't have been able to get

through this at all. I'm very,

0:42:520:42:55

very... Thankful for his... Just for

him.

I've learned so much from

0:42:550:43:04

Aljaz. I have learned to believe in

myself.

She is pushing me as much as

0:43:040:43:10

I push her. She has so much talent.

To see her progress it is epic.

I'm

0:43:100:43:19

under no illusion that I'm still

here because of her. She has dragged

0:43:190:43:24

me through kicking and screaming

sometimes.

He wants to work really

0:43:240:43:27

hard. He wants to get it right. I

just want him to remember how far he

0:43:270:43:32

has come.

To see him changing

week-by-week, I couldn't be more

0:43:320:43:39

thankful.

She has taught me the

ultimate thing with this is to enjoy

0:43:390:43:45

it.

It has been really amazing. And

I know we are going to be friends

0:43:450:43:52

forever.

I would say thank you for

teaching me how to dance!

Stop

0:43:520:44:04

everyone.

0:44:040:44:08

That was beautiful -

just like this lot.

0:44:080:44:10

It's the return of our Friday Panel!

0:44:100:44:16

We are going to drive in with Molly

and AJ and their quickstep. A

0:44:160:44:21

different version. Here it is. Do

you like this one Clare.

They're a

0:44:210:44:28

great couple and I think they will

do well. She is light like a fairy

0:44:280:44:33

and you could pick her up and spin

her.

And he did.

I thought that was

0:44:330:44:40

the best dance of show. She has got

these amazing flippy anicals. --

0:44:400:44:49

flippy ankles.

The lift it was like

plate spinning.

The quickstep is a

0:44:490:44:56

tricky dance to master. Can she

crack it.

If anyone can, she can.

0:44:560:45:01

She has flippy feet and she is nippy

and moves around the floor quickly.

0:45:010:45:06

Like a little pony.

Oh, yes. Horse

references I love it. Russell,

0:45:060:45:12

Debbie and Giovanni are doing an an

general Tyne tango and a fan

0:45:120:45:17

favourite. Can Flexi McGhee rise to

the challenge?

I think so I spent

0:45:170:45:25

six weeks doing one in the west end

and I was dancing with a scarf and

0:45:250:45:38

it is the trickiest dance.

She is

precise and you think of the stuff

0:45:380:45:42

she did and it is about precision

and she gets it spot on and I think

0:45:420:45:46

she is a good athlete. Because she

takes training.

The things that

0:45:460:45:50

woman can do with with her legs.

Flexi McGhee, I'm all Team Flexi

0:45:500:45:55

McGhee.

0:45:550:46:03

I love Giovanni, who would do

anything to get to the final.

He's

0:46:030:46:06

been amazing this year. Gemma and

Aljaz, high scores at the weekend, a

0:46:060:46:11

couple of temporal macro. Can they

stay up the leaderboard with their

0:46:110:46:16

samba? Let's have a look and see

what you think of their action here.

0:46:160:46:21

I thought her American smooth was

one of the most beautiful dances I

0:46:210:46:26

have ever seen an Strictly, maybe

0:46:260:46:28

one of the most beautiful dances I

have ever seen an Strictly, maybe.

0:46:280:46:28

Those long lifts legs, the lift on

the gliding round. She gets better

0:46:280:46:34

every single week. Nobody improves

as quickly as her. She just absorbs

0:46:340:46:39

all the advice, it's incredible.

She's like a slimmer, the physique

0:46:390:46:42

of a slimmer.

What animal?

An

animal?

What animal? Ace on... A

0:46:420:46:54

seal?

I don't think you could

describe a woman is being a seal.

0:46:540:47:03

When I was Batman.

Which I loved.

One of the most difficult dances for

0:47:030:47:08

a woman is the samba.

That is what

Vincent said only this week. Gemma

0:47:080:47:13

doing very well. Joe and Katya,

another quick step this weekend.

0:47:130:47:18

Could it be a high scorer for Joe?

He is so perfectly formed, you could

0:47:180:47:24

put him in your pocket. Every single

dance he does, he does with panache.

0:47:240:47:28

I think this is incredibly

difficult. So many people, cropper

0:47:280:47:34

on this one.

Katya's choreography is

supreme. When with a little toy

0:47:340:47:41

soldiers in the Charleston, it was

my favourite Charleston, fun and

0:47:410:47:44

brilliant.

I liked about three's

versatility as well as endurance,

0:47:440:47:51

Joe. You have to be really fit for

it.

And they will be dressed as

0:47:510:47:56

construction workers.

Obviously!

I

was thinking more YMCA...

Me too,

0:47:560:48:04

why did we think that?

I don't know!

The paso doble group... Who do you

0:48:040:48:12

think will win that?

Susan and

Kevin.

Davood. How do you pronounce

0:48:120:48:18

his name?

Davood. A tricky

question... Who is going home this

0:48:180:48:24

weekend?

Whoever is second brought

on the leaderboard.

Nicely done!

0:48:240:48:31

Russell, the pressure of a name?

Come back to me later.

I think one

0:48:310:48:38

of the boys, the girls are smashing

it!

You have been divine, come back

0:48:380:48:43

and see us on! Give it up for our

gorgeous Friday Panel! CHEERING AND

0:48:430:48:47

APPLAUSE

0:48:470:48:49

But now the end is near,

and so we face our final trip

0:48:490:48:57

to Elstree with our dear friend

Gethin.

0:48:570:48:58

Let's see what he's been up to.

0:48:580:49:06

Shall we go now?

The much talked

about paso doble fun, how did you

0:49:060:49:12

get on? You have the most

competitive, the Russian, the

0:49:120:49:18

Italian, the English, fresh from

competition. AJ...

I was off. Two

0:49:180:49:25

minutes long, as soon as that music

starts, ... They stand still and I'm

0:49:250:49:30

go, go, go.

It's not a competition,

come on!

This is what your

0:49:300:49:39

bread-and-butter, you're used to

this. How do the celebs react?

0:49:390:49:44

Actually, they liked it.

Mollie just

smiled. I thought, this is not

0:49:440:49:50

happening!

I don't think they will

know what just happened. I said,

0:49:500:49:55

just follow me. You're not going to

win anyway.

It's fine.

7 couples on

0:49:550:50:01

the dance floor, quite crowded.

My

heel got caught in Giovanni's shoe.

0:50:010:50:07

Elbows. We just tell them to keep

the shape, keep the shape! I'm not

0:50:070:50:13

doing it! On the night it will be

fun?

It will be a fight.

Fight.

0:50:130:50:24

Fight or find... We'll find out

tomorrow. Good luck, you crazy

0:50:240:50:28

people!

Thank you!

Everyone has gone

crackers this week.

0:50:280:50:33

That's all we have time for tonight!

0:50:330:50:34

Thanks to my guests and make sure

you catch all the action with Tess

0:50:340:50:38

and Claud tomorrow night

at 6.50 on BBC1.

0:50:380:50:40

I'll be back on Monday with the next

couple to leave the competition.

0:50:400:50:44

Who will it be?

0:50:440:50:46

But now, singing us out

with her brand new single Alone,

0:50:460:50:49

it's the gorgeous Jessie Ware!
