0:00:56 > 0:00:58Zoe Ball.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00APPLAUSE
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Hello and welcome to It Takes Two!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05If you're missing the Razmataz of Strictly's
0:01:05 > 0:01:07musical special, don't worry - we've got your back.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Just take a look at the all-singing, all-dancing line-up
0:01:09 > 0:01:14in our Green Room.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Here to tell me more, tell me more about
0:01:16 > 0:01:20their rumba - it's Mollie and AJ!
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Little sandy and Danny.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24He may not know how to sing but he sure
0:01:24 > 0:01:26can wave a wand about theatrically - it's
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Ian Waite.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30He's not bad at singing actually.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33And look who we've got in the house -
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Hayley, Jamie, Andrea and Tommy -
0:01:35 > 0:01:37the Strictly Singers!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39At last, they are here.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Plus, hoping to put last year's Pro Challenge humiliation behind him -
0:01:42 > 0:01:45it's Neil Jones!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Warming up. Backstage, come on, you can do it.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50But first up tonight, with the semifinal
0:01:50 > 0:01:52fast approaching, never has a warm-up
0:01:52 > 0:01:53held so much importance.
0:01:53 > 0:01:59It's time for Ian Waite!
0:02:06 > 0:02:10It's Ian Waite, everyone!
0:02:10 > 0:02:21He is here, panic over. Do you know him? Not bad, not bad. Our couples
0:02:21 > 0:02:25have two dances this weekend and new, young man, have tend to get
0:02:25 > 0:02:32through so we must hasten on. So much to discuss. Alexandra and
0:02:32 > 0:02:37Gorka's first dance will be a salsa. She's dancing fantastic are great at
0:02:37 > 0:02:41the Latin dances, this is going to be hot.I think it is looking really
0:02:41 > 0:02:44good, it is really going to suit her, it's going to be a fantastic
0:02:44 > 0:02:48dance for her, it has lots of rhythm, she has lots of speed in
0:02:48 > 0:02:53there. As you saw, the zigzags she did beautifully, and I have slowed
0:02:53 > 0:03:04this down and I love the armography, over the arms twice and again onto a
0:03:04 > 0:03:08different arm hold, very complicated some of the armography but she's
0:03:08 > 0:03:12doing it brilliantly already. And is so smooth, that's the thing, at this
0:03:12 > 0:03:17stage on Tuesday, you would expect it to become a no, today's footage,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19sorry, you'd expect it to be a little rusty before Saturday but
0:03:19 > 0:03:26it's looking good.Good work. Jail and Katya are dancing and American
0:03:26 > 0:03:31smooth. How is our gorgeous boy, looking smooth enough for you? --
0:03:31 > 0:03:35joke and Katya.Yes, some very nice moves at the beginning, the way he
0:03:35 > 0:03:41rocks and sways, very Fred and Gingeresque and I like the win takes
0:03:41 > 0:03:45hold of her. I talked about him a few weeks ago of getting the chicken
0:03:45 > 0:03:49drumsticks underneath her armpit and got it under their nicely. The only
0:03:49 > 0:03:54thing is, hold on a second.I wondered where it was.The only
0:03:54 > 0:03:59thing is he has a lovely shoulder line, lovely long neck might like to
0:03:59 > 0:04:03see him get this arm up a little bit so it is on a bit more of a right
0:04:03 > 0:04:07angle, not a proper right angle but a bit more, get his arm a little bit
0:04:07 > 0:04:13straight.Just a simple tiny detail. Gemma and Aljaz are doing a tango.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18Has her girl got enough attack?She looks very good, her hand looks a
0:04:18 > 0:04:22bit like a spider on the back. She should get that underneath the
0:04:22 > 0:04:27armpit again, I know it's a bit smelly but don't worry about it. And
0:04:27 > 0:04:31also she's doing heel leads, which is good, but I'd like to see her
0:04:31 > 0:04:38work on this area at the bottom. Lovely bottom.What I'd like her to
0:04:38 > 0:04:46do is when she moves off to promenade there is a push from
0:04:46 > 0:04:49there, push drive, which would give her a more staccato feeling to the
0:04:49 > 0:04:54dance.I could watch you do that for hours.It will give that will be
0:04:54 > 0:04:59extra oomph she needs.Mollie and AJ, samba, how are Mollie's hips
0:04:59 > 0:05:06looking? I saw this early on. CHEERING
0:05:06 > 0:05:16Lovely body action. Very loose.Like a pro.Promenade runs, if you look,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19it is a different timing. What I'd like to see her do is on the
0:05:19 > 0:05:24promenade run, if I can just circled the back leg, if we do that for you
0:05:24 > 0:05:30we will show you how it is done. One, two, three. In that position,
0:05:30 > 0:05:34make sure you lunch into the front foot enough so that you can stretch
0:05:34 > 0:05:40out that tow.These trousers don't give much! Don't show these muffin
0:05:40 > 0:05:44tops. Don't be caught between the two legs. Just like that, I've got
0:05:44 > 0:05:53it! Debbie and Giovanni doing a jive to I'm so excited, by the Pointer
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Sisters, excited?I'm excited, upon the balls of her feet, like to do
0:05:57 > 0:06:01her about stepping action down into the ground rather than flicks out on
0:06:01 > 0:06:04the beginning peace. But if you notice here she does chicken walks
0:06:04 > 0:06:11and I think she's doing it too much with her legs apart. If from here...
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Keep them together, girls.If you see here I'd like her to get the top
0:06:16 > 0:06:25of her legs together almost like she has a tight skirt.How would you
0:06:25 > 0:06:38know that!?Legs to wide apart.Onto the second dances, halfway, are you
0:06:38 > 0:06:46OK? Alexandra and Gorka back for a Viennese waltz. Do you like what you
0:06:46 > 0:06:51see?The flow is really good, nice natural tones, her footwork is very
0:06:51 > 0:06:58good. They are not actually in hold -- natural Terence. Lovely running
0:06:58 > 0:07:03around, keeping it fluid, there was note trotting. When you run around
0:07:03 > 0:07:10there can be a little bit of bouncing -- natural turns.You don't
0:07:10 > 0:07:14hear that wide enough anymore, Nath. I love the fact she has this lovely
0:07:14 > 0:07:18the arm and details in the feet. Beautiful, Joe and Katya next in
0:07:18 > 0:07:27line the Argentine tango I'm excited about Halys Joe -- how is Joe
0:07:27 > 0:07:33looking?When they flip the foot and it goes right up the back, right up
0:07:33 > 0:07:37the codpiece, it's amazing. These interlinking steps when they
0:07:37 > 0:07:41ricocheted off each other. It looks really good. He just goes run a
0:07:41 > 0:07:45little bit there. I slowed it down. He's supposed to step through
0:07:45 > 0:07:48backwards instead of forwards and she's ordered held him and said, no,
0:07:48 > 0:07:53it's forwards, not backwards, deer, or the other way around. It is a
0:07:53 > 0:07:56nice dance, difficult to tell from just that short bit of footage but
0:07:56 > 0:08:01hopefully by Saturday it will be fantastic. Gemma and Aljaz also
0:08:01 > 0:08:06dancing a rumba, what do you make of it? She has a very nice hip action
0:08:06 > 0:08:12and very good straight leg. That is what you want from a rumba. And
0:08:12 > 0:08:16also, if you notice when she goes into this she has a lovely arched
0:08:16 > 0:08:23foot and lovely shape of foot. If I just spotlight this, OK, now, if you
0:08:23 > 0:08:28just watch this, she is going to do a close. As she closes her feet in
0:08:28 > 0:08:33the fan position, she is keeping that foot flat as she goes in. I
0:08:33 > 0:08:39would say articulate it before so you get a little bit of
0:08:39 > 0:08:42articulation.These are the details. You get the shape of the foot before
0:08:42 > 0:08:46you go there.These could make the extra points and make all the
0:08:46 > 0:08:52difference. Mollie and AJ and their waltz, but this see them pivot their
0:08:52 > 0:08:58way into the final?This is only Monday footage. So, I think it's
0:08:58 > 0:09:02probably much better by today, right, guys? Because it looks a
0:09:02 > 0:09:07little bid dropped in the body. But I would say, maybe because she
0:09:07 > 0:09:11hasn't got normal shoes on, give her a couple more inches.That's the
0:09:11 > 0:09:17problem!It will get you a little higher in the rib cage and get you a
0:09:17 > 0:09:22little bit more, do you know what I mean? That's when you should come
0:09:22 > 0:09:26through so you are a little bit late and also leaving your bum behind
0:09:26 > 0:09:35here.Take your bum with you, love. That's terrible!Debbie and Giovanni
0:09:35 > 0:09:39dancing a foxtrot, Kvist top the American smooth from last week,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43which was marvellous?Yes, it was and she is glued to her man, as you
0:09:43 > 0:09:48can see here, not a gap insight. Lovely position as well. She is
0:09:48 > 0:09:55clinging onto him a little bit that hand. You would! She needs to go on
0:09:55 > 0:09:58the top, not cling around and a bit too much rotation in the body to the
0:09:58 > 0:10:02left. If she keeps her body up to him a little more shapes at the
0:10:02 > 0:10:07back. Other than that, beautiful dancing, forward to it.How good was
0:10:07 > 0:10:12he? Ten dances!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Right now it's time to once again push our
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Strictly pros to their absolute limits
0:10:15 > 0:10:16and then some.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Charleston swivels really don't come any
0:10:17 > 0:10:19tougher than this.
0:10:19 > 0:10:26And he does feature. Lovely. This year's Strictly Pro Challenge is
0:10:26 > 0:10:30heading back in time to the Roaring 20s where our pros will attempt to
0:10:30 > 0:10:35set a Guinness World Record title for the most Charlton swivel steps
0:10:35 > 0:10:40in 30 seconds. In order for the swivel step to qualify our pros will
0:10:40 > 0:10:43have to complete one forward and one backwards step. If there is no
0:10:43 > 0:10:48swivel in the feet and ankles the step will be disqualified. This
0:10:48 > 0:10:52year's challenge will be the hardest our pros have ever faced, but only
0:10:52 > 0:10:57one person can claim the title. It's the Strictly Pro Challenge 2017.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01It's time to welcome our next contender.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04He was born in Germany and speaks fluent Dutch and splits his time
0:11:04 > 0:11:11between the UK and Hong Kong. What a jet setter. Go wild for our very own
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Ginger Rogers, Neil Jones!
0:11:15 > 0:11:16APPLAUSE
0:11:17 > 0:11:21What an entrance! And what they owe tie.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Firstly, I just wanted to say thank you for
0:11:23 > 0:11:25being here with us today.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29It can't have been easy after last year's incident.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Why, what happened last year? Just in case you had forgotten, last
0:11:32 > 0:11:39year, the lovely meal had all 104 jive flicks and kicks completely
0:11:39 > 0:11:47disqualified -- Neil had all 104. They were great. Recount! Recount!
0:11:47 > 0:11:52How do you feel one year on?I've recovered, I've been through a lot
0:11:52 > 0:11:58of therapy and it's helping.I'm glad! This is the Leader Board. Your
0:11:58 > 0:12:05gorgeous wife at the number one spot currently. Do you have the heart, or
0:12:05 > 0:12:09indeed the ability, to knock her off the top spot?I went in just before
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Katya and she said do you have any advice? I said, honey, use your
0:12:14 > 0:12:17arms. I personally think whatever happens to me I should get those
0:12:17 > 0:12:21points.Nice way of looking at it. The entire nation is waiting with
0:12:21 > 0:12:27bated breath. Let's see how Neil got on.I'm a bit worried about the
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Charleston, I haven't had as long as Anton, he's been doing it since he
0:12:30 > 0:12:34was born, that's a lot longer than the rest of us. But I'm going to try
0:12:34 > 0:12:43my hardest.Hello, Neil.Hello, everyone.Welcome to the Strictly
0:12:43 > 0:12:48Pro Challenge this year, be looking forward to you coming.So have I!
0:12:48 > 0:12:55Last year, obviously it was a bit disaster because... Yeah.You got
0:12:55 > 0:13:00every single step disqualified.I know.Learn from your mistakes?I've
0:13:00 > 0:13:03been working on both steps to find out that the Pro Challenge is
0:13:03 > 0:13:08different this year.Well, I hope you do a good job because we've got
0:13:08 > 0:13:12the wonderful judge here to scrutinise every little step you
0:13:12 > 0:13:20take.Keep that swivel going.I'm ready.No pressure.OK, for your
0:13:20 > 0:13:24official attempt beginning in three, two, one, go.
0:13:36 > 0:13:48Good.15 seconds.Keep it up, Neil, come on. Go from zero to hero. Don't
0:13:48 > 0:13:56lose it.Keep swivelling. Five, four, three, two, one. Stop.Well
0:13:56 > 0:14:00done.Well done. I think I might have lost it a bit in the middle,
0:14:00 > 0:14:04I'm not going to live.A little bit. You are giving us our thumbs in
0:14:04 > 0:14:11waistcoat.I liked that. The hands were swinging.I was trying
0:14:11 > 0:14:17everything.Lots of variation and entertaining, good to watch.Have I
0:14:17 > 0:14:20won?We don't know, we have to scrutinise it and let you know
0:14:20 > 0:14:26later. But well done, good attempt. Better than last year.Thank you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Yes! You know what, I think this could be my year, Giovanni is going
0:14:29 > 0:14:31down.
0:14:34 > 0:14:41Neil, taught me through the arms.I was trying everything. -- talk me
0:14:41 > 0:14:47through. I'm the original chicken, I thought thumbs in, let's try
0:14:47 > 0:14:51something different, try everything. It was your facial expression that
0:14:51 > 0:14:54was my favourite. After each of the professionals had made their
0:14:54 > 0:14:59attempts the footage was watched back by adjudicators in slow motion
0:14:59 > 0:15:04to verify every civil swivel to make sure they were all accurate. --
0:15:04 > 0:15:08every single swivel. And because it was knew they were obliged to check
0:15:08 > 0:15:13it twice. Only kidding! 19 is the score to beat to put you in front of
0:15:13 > 0:15:22Katya. Neil Jones, in 30 seconds, you are so excited. You completed...
0:15:22 > 0:15:32DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:15:32 > 0:15:4219 Charleston swivels. Exactly the same as Katya.19? I'm top of the
0:15:42 > 0:15:50Leader Board?Well, not all of those swivels were legal. Wait for it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:56Eight disqualified steps. Giving you a score of 11. It's better than last
0:15:56 > 0:16:00year, which puts you joint ninth on the Leader Board. Look, there you
0:16:00 > 0:16:13are. URL above Brendan Cole.I'm lower than Pasha.It's OK.And Amy.
0:16:13 > 0:16:19-- you are above Brendan Cole. I need to give him a cuddle.Higher
0:16:19 > 0:16:24than zero is OK.And higher than Brendan. Time to go to the training
0:16:24 > 0:16:27rooms to see how our couples are training for the second most
0:16:27 > 0:16:34important challenge of the week, the Strictly semi-finals. So sorry!
0:16:34 > 0:16:39Foxtrot, we have a priority on the position. And look where you are.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Head!I struggled with getting the feet and the head right. My feet are
0:16:44 > 0:16:48killing me, my back is killing me. Sometimes your body gives up on you
0:16:48 > 0:16:55and I feel that's what has happened to me today.Head! Three... Head!
0:16:55 > 0:17:00This is semifinal week. We can't make a mistake.It can't just be a
0:17:00 > 0:17:06good dance. It's got to be a great dance.Nice, go, go, go, beautiful!
0:17:06 > 0:17:12The Rumba has gone through stages of yeah I've got it, too I've not got
0:17:12 > 0:17:17it at all. So confused.Look at me, the Rumba is a very challenging
0:17:17 > 0:17:23dance.I keep trying to lead the dancers.OK, I'm coming back.But
0:17:23 > 0:17:28he's the guy, not me.He loves being the woman.I'm trying to make it
0:17:28 > 0:17:41look like it is extremely easy. Two, three, four. But it's not.I know.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44It's time now to welcome four of Strictly's unsung heroes - or should
0:17:44 > 0:17:47that be sung?!
0:17:47 > 0:17:50They've got some of the best pipes in the biz - please go wild
0:17:50 > 0:17:53for the wonderful Hayley, Jamie, Andrea and Tommy!
0:17:53 > 0:18:02CHEERING At last, you are here. Welcome,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06welcome. Lance could not be here because we could not fit him on the
0:18:06 > 0:18:14sofa but we are sending him some love. Tommy, you have been here
0:18:14 > 0:18:20since the show began, when televisions were black and white!
0:18:20 > 0:18:25How has the music changed?It was much more traditional in those days.
0:18:25 > 0:18:31Then when Dave Arch came in, the whole things changed. They are doing
0:18:31 > 0:18:38tangos to music that you would not expect.It is Dave's fault!Let's
0:18:38 > 0:18:44blame Dave for everything. Jamie, welcome, new kid on the block. You
0:18:44 > 0:18:50have stood in for Lance three times. How is it to join a show like this?
0:18:50 > 0:18:54And how have they treated you? Have they treated you like the new boy or
0:18:54 > 0:18:59have they been nice?You have been nice.It has been a wonderful thing.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04It is a departure from what I am used to doing so it has been good.
0:19:04 > 0:19:10Really, really good fun.Welcome. Hayley, you got married!
0:19:10 > 0:19:15CHEERING Sent him I love. You did a surprise
0:19:15 > 0:19:22wedding, amazing.Yes, it was ace prize!She didn't know, incredible.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Thank goodness she agreed! The audience don't realise you're
0:19:25 > 0:19:30singing everything live. Do you still get nervous?Yes, sometimes,
0:19:30 > 0:19:34luckily because the days so long, you are so tired so you're not
0:19:34 > 0:19:37nervous. But it doesn't matter how many years you have been doing it,
0:19:37 > 0:19:42you suddenly get the fear for no apparent reason. It could be on the
0:19:42 > 0:19:46song you have sung a million times. The panic sets in, but you get
0:19:46 > 0:19:52through it, because you have to. There is no choice.Andrea, you have
0:19:52 > 0:19:56the best seats in the house. I love it when they cut your cheeky face
0:19:56 > 0:20:01peeking over. Do you get distracted by the shenanigans on the floor?I
0:20:01 > 0:20:07don't. When I am singing, I don't. I try not to look because otherwise it
0:20:07 > 0:20:19puts me off my singing! You are a professional.I try.I
0:20:19 > 0:20:22like the way you say I don't which means the others do. Tommy, when do
0:20:22 > 0:20:25you know what songs you will be singing in the week?... Usually by
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Monday evening or Tuesday at the latest. It is not much time. We have
0:20:29 > 0:20:34three or four days to get the lead vocals ready and the backing vocals.
0:20:34 > 0:20:41They are often much tougher. That is not a long time. Jamie, your
0:20:41 > 0:20:46repertoire is often different to the others. What do they call you in
0:20:46 > 0:20:54for?Be called me in for anything that is remotely rocky or high.Like

0:21:14 > 0:21:26Anton's paso doble. Let's remind us of your brilliance.SHE SINGS VERY

0:21:38 > 0:21:42pressure performing with two iconic people.I knew it would be
0:21:42 > 0:21:49ridiculous. Anne Dunham said I am about to go into the routine --
0:21:49 > 0:21:55Anton said. They said we need something more dramatic, what can
0:21:55 > 0:22:01you do? And then they said, that is it!We could not get you here
0:22:01 > 0:22:05without asking you to sing for us. Make our dreams country. The
0:22:05 > 0:22:13Strictly sinners. -- sinners.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20# I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
0:22:20 > 0:22:21# Just like the ones I used to know
0:22:27 > 0:22:29# Where the tree tops glisten
0:22:29 > 0:22:31# And children listen
0:22:31 > 0:22:40# To hear sleigh bells in the snow
0:22:40 > 0:22:49# I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
0:22:49 > 0:22:55# With every Christmas card I write

0:23:55 > 0:23:57These two are...
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Automatic, systematic, hydromatic.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01It's Mollie and AJ!
0:24:08 > 0:24:13You have improved so much, I am stunned.Identity with Bruno at all.
0:24:13 > 0:24:21I thought you were dancing by numbers, I have to be honest.Your
0:24:21 > 0:24:25timing was impeccable today. I thought you got it just right.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Impeccable!
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Hello, Semi-Finalists!
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Let's talk about that Rumba.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38You've waited to be Sandra Dee your whole life -
0:24:38 > 0:24:42was Saturday night worth the wait?
0:24:42 > 0:24:46It was so worth the wait. I think literally that has been one of my
0:24:46 > 0:24:50favourite nights ever. I loved playing the part and dancing with
0:24:50 > 0:25:01AJ. And we got two nines!I love how excited you are with those! My
0:25:01 > 0:25:05little girl Nellie was watching and she said, look at the Hat! That was
0:25:05 > 0:25:15good with action going on there.It was -- look at that hair! I think
0:25:15 > 0:25:23you were born to play the role.You had to leap into his arms, Mollie.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27When he first said, you are going to run off a bridge and leap into my
0:25:27 > 0:25:35arms, how did you feel about that?I said OK, as long as you catch me.In
0:25:35 > 0:25:41slow motion.I love the slow motion! I said you had better catch me, you
0:25:41 > 0:25:50had better catch me! He was so calm about it.Would would have been
0:25:50 > 0:25:55quite embarrassing if he couldn't. You had your joint highest scores
0:25:55 > 0:26:03there, 31, your first nine from Shirley, it is never too early.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Latin Queen as well.But Craig was not happy about the lift. AJ, at
0:26:08 > 0:26:13this point in the game, you have to impress the dealers and do you throw
0:26:13 > 0:26:17the rule book out of the window a little bit?Mollie house to get off
0:26:17 > 0:26:21the prop and if she is jumping, I have to be there to catch my
0:26:21 > 0:26:31princess. So I thought I would spin around in place on the floor.Said
0:26:31 > 0:26:34effectively not a lift? I cannot jump off and land on the floor. And
0:26:34 > 0:26:38she cannot step because it is a big one.We are allowed to get off the
0:26:38 > 0:26:44prop anyway.I need to check the rule book again. It is so huge!
0:26:44 > 0:26:50Bruno loved the fireworks. Has it been hard to work on that storyline?
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Did hard to work on the storyline, there are so much technical ability
0:26:55 > 0:26:58and then obviously getting into character. We have to mould it
0:26:58 > 0:27:06together on the day.I love you two. We love you, Zoe!Two dances, you
0:27:06 > 0:27:13have waltz and Sam Byrne. You are dancing to Shakira, -- the Sam
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Byrne.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20You're dancing to Shakira's Whenever Wherever.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I'm legally required to play it.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23MUSIC: "Whenever,Wherever" by Shakira.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Shakira's hips famously don't lie - are your hips telling the whole
0:27:26 > 0:27:28truth and nothing but the truth?
0:27:28 > 0:27:33I hope they are. The honest truth is, I once said to AJ, let's avoid
0:27:33 > 0:27:39the samba, because I never thought we would get to this point that we
0:27:39 > 0:27:45would be doing all the routines, and now it has crept up on us. The samba
0:27:45 > 0:27:51is the one that is left. It has come back to get us in the semis. Where
0:27:51 > 0:27:55are throwing everything into it.We are working extra hard. Mollie has
0:27:55 > 0:28:00got to go out there and let her in going. She has got to have a great
0:28:00 > 0:28:07time and have a party dance.You're getting so good. And also the waltz,
0:28:07 > 0:28:15Sarah McLachlan, Angel. It is beautiful. As the ballroom girl,
0:28:15 > 0:28:21does it float your boat?I love this. It is such an emotional song.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25I even love it in the rehearsals, literally. There is so much to
0:28:25 > 0:28:29concentrate on, but the song is amazing. I love the waltz. I
0:28:29 > 0:28:34literally can't wait to do this one. It is a gorgeous night. It will be
0:28:34 > 0:28:38something special on the night. I cannot wait for this performance.If
0:28:38 > 0:28:46you get through this weekend, you will be in the final of Strictly
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Come Dancing 2017. I'm just saying that. Last year, you went out in the
0:28:49 > 0:28:54semifinal, how can you make that not happen?... You have got to give it
0:28:54 > 0:28:58everything.We will give it everything that we do every week.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Mollie works so hard. She puts herself under so much pressure. We
0:29:02 > 0:29:06go out there, we have the best time of our lives and we just have fun.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11Somebody said we have broken the Strictly record for the amount of
0:29:11 > 0:29:19hours trained.Well done! Good luck this weekend. I hope it works out.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Mollie and AJ!
0:29:22 > 0:29:24That's all we have time for tonight.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27We'll be back here tomorrow at 6:30 getting all the gossip
0:29:27 > 0:29:27from Joe and Katya.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Hot lips Karen Clifton takes on the Pro Challenge, and Vicky Gill
0:29:30 > 0:29:33will be letting me have a rummage through her clothes rails!
0:29:33 > 0:29:36People think that I'm incapable of working.
