0:00:52 > 0:00:55Please hook your host, Zoe Ball.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Hello and welcome to It Takes Two!

0:00:59 > 0:01:01I can't believe I'm saying this...

0:01:01 > 0:01:05But it's the last Tuesday of the series!

0:01:05 > 0:01:10But don't be sad - we've still got a few more shows left!

0:01:10 > 0:01:13And if that's still not enough to brighten your mood, then take

0:01:13 > 0:01:16a look at tonight's green room.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21Don't say we don't treat you.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23They survived their first dance-off to become Strictly finalists,

0:01:23 > 0:01:24it's Gemma and Aljaz!

0:01:24 > 0:01:31And they've been there, done that, and even won the Glitterball.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34It's a trio of former champs, Ore Oduba, Tom Chambers

0:01:34 > 0:01:36and Chris Hollins!

0:01:36 > 0:01:39But first, for the final time this series let's pay one last visit

0:01:39 > 0:01:45to my favourite corner.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Taking the reigns tonight, it's 2016 champion Joanne Clifton.

0:02:00 > 0:02:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Can you believe one year ago? We will start at the top of the

0:02:10 > 0:02:16Leaderboard. Alexandra and Gorka.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18After having six dances score 39, they finally achieved a perfect

0:02:18 > 0:02:1940 with their salsa.

0:02:19 > 0:02:28The judges loved it - what stood out for you?

0:02:28 > 0:02:37When everybody saw the Tina Turner thing, it was like, wow. I let out a

0:02:37 > 0:02:41wow to myself when she went in for those lifts. She is a force of

0:02:41 > 0:02:50nature. Absolutely fearless. Such a performer. If she has Latin in the

0:02:50 > 0:02:53final, do exactly the same thing in your performance and concentrate on

0:02:53 > 0:03:01the details of your Latin.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03On to their Viennese Waltz.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Words used by the judges included "graceful, soft,

0:03:05 > 0:03:07dreamy and exquisite" - did you agree?

0:03:07 > 0:03:15Absolutely. Alex is able to capture the essence and character of every

0:03:15 > 0:03:22dance. It was beautiful. Emotional to watch. I think if she gets

0:03:22 > 0:03:32ballroom in the final, she has to concentrate. She has to work on her

0:03:32 > 0:03:35right rib being hooked to Gorka's right rib. Imagine his morning

0:03:35 > 0:03:41breath. You can't just turn your head to get away from it, you have

0:03:41 > 0:03:45to move your rib cage. Not that I would know what Gorka's morning

0:03:45 > 0:03:53breath is like!We all know what goes on around here!

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Flexi McGee's jive now.

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Overall, the judges comments were positive.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Although Craig did compare her facial expressions to Judge Rinder.

0:03:58 > 0:04:04Did it get you excited?

0:04:04 > 0:04:11I got so excited I wanted to dance with them. He was just saying that

0:04:11 > 0:04:16because Judge Rinder was in the audience. But Debbie was really

0:04:16 > 0:04:20enjoying it, really going for it. If that's what comes out when you enjoy

0:04:20 > 0:04:28it, then so be it. For somebody of her age to pull it off with energy

0:04:28 > 0:04:37to the end was amazing. If she has Latin in the final bend sheet should

0:04:37 > 0:04:44be precise. Do her leg lines and arm lines. Everything she does so well,

0:04:44 > 0:04:49and get that performance on top of it.Quite a bit to cope with.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Moving onto their foxtrot, Darcey said it was incredibly technical.

0:04:52 > 0:04:57But Craig deducted a point for the time spent out of hold.

0:04:57 > 0:05:02Was Gio's choreography breaking the rules in your opinion?

0:05:02 > 0:05:13Well, no. They did the whole routine in hold and then broke cat the end.

0:05:13 > 0:05:21-- then broke at the end. They could have gone into a little entrance,

0:05:21 > 0:05:24then hold them finish, but they put it all at the end. It kind of

0:05:24 > 0:05:29balances out. I think Debbie's holds is one of the best ballroom holds

0:05:29 > 0:05:33I've ever seen on Strictly. She understands the two curves and the

0:05:33 > 0:05:44head position. In ballet... And demo time.Yes please. It's Christmas

0:05:44 > 0:05:51demo time. In ballet you hold everything together, your thighs and

0:05:51 > 0:05:55everything, it's great for Latin, but in ballroom you have to open

0:05:55 > 0:05:59your legs. My teacher used to put a handbag between my legs so I was

0:05:59 > 0:06:04used to swinging them open. Also driving across the floor. For every

0:06:04 > 0:06:10step forwards there are five actions you need to do. You have to lower,

0:06:10 > 0:06:19but your body Mike Ford, control the step. -- put your body weights

0:06:19 > 0:06:33forward. Slide back as far as you can. Bush and recover. -- push and

0:06:33 > 0:06:35recover.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Onto our dance-off survivors Gemma and Aljaz, they kicked

0:06:37 > 0:06:39things off with a rumba.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Shirley liked the advanced choreography in the second half,

0:06:41 > 0:06:42but felt it "lacked musicality".

0:06:42 > 0:06:46What's your take?

0:06:46 > 0:06:53I think Gemma in that rumba had one of the best leg and heat actions

0:06:53 > 0:06:59I've ever seen. It was so beautiful to watch. I think what surely meant

0:06:59 > 0:07:03was she needed to continue that music up into the upper part of her

0:07:03 > 0:07:08body. So if she has Latin in the final, keep that leg action, it's

0:07:08 > 0:07:12amazing, but feel like a snake slithering around every single organ

0:07:12 > 0:07:19in her body.It sounds scary, but it works.It will move you and fill out

0:07:19 > 0:07:23the music.Think of the snakes.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Let's switch it up and talk about their tango.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Craig said it needed more V-shaping but liked the attack.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Did it have enough attack for you?

0:07:29 > 0:07:38I agree with Craig for once. It had more than enough attack. She had the

0:07:38 > 0:07:42passion and character, that was great. A little bit more out to the

0:07:42 > 0:07:47left with the V shape. But going backwards, she has to do that. From

0:07:47 > 0:07:54underneath your bra down to your waist, should be as straight as

0:07:54 > 0:07:59possible, don't let yourself go, so fit perfectly with your partner.

0:07:59 > 0:08:05Imagine an invisible pole going through your back where the bra

0:08:05 > 0:08:12strap is, through the front and tip it up. You get more of a V shape.I

0:08:12 > 0:08:16will stand like that all the time in the supermarket looking strange.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Finally, it's Joe and Katya.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19They opened with their American Smooth.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22We all know you're a ballroom baby - was this a winner for you?

0:08:22 > 0:08:30I loved it. It was so suave. He's such a performer, so musical.We

0:08:30 > 0:08:36love that face.If he has ballroom in the final, I would like him to

0:08:36 > 0:08:41work on two things. The left elbow has to stay back and really angular,

0:08:41 > 0:08:47not forward and around it. The other thing, demo time...

0:08:52 > 0:08:57The thing he does well is swing through the music. And drive across

0:08:57 > 0:09:01the floor. Swing is free movement from a fixed point. We don't have a

0:09:01 > 0:09:06fixed point because we are moving around the dance floor, but to

0:09:06 > 0:09:11create the illusion of swing, it's through the knees and compression of

0:09:11 > 0:09:15them, so you can go down and create the swing, which he does well. You

0:09:15 > 0:09:22can also do it through swaying, and that creates the swing. I need him

0:09:22 > 0:09:30to improve his rotation. Cut the body in half. Redcar and blue car.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35Are you following, people? Keep up. When you get to the point of

0:09:35 > 0:09:39rotation, he puts the red car in reverse and the other goes forward.

0:09:39 > 0:09:46That stops the swing.I think we can follow that. But there is more.To

0:09:46 > 0:09:51carry on going forward, the blue car needs to go a little bit faster.

0:09:51 > 0:09:58It's incredible. I have the car and the snakes. It's all going on.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Let's talk about their Argentine tango now.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07It blew everyone's minds.That thing at the end, I don't even know what

0:10:07 > 0:10:15to call it. I think it's a Katya special or something. I bow down to

0:10:15 > 0:10:18them. The core strength they must have for that. I can't understand

0:10:18 > 0:10:26how they've done that. And it's gone viral, all over Twitter.My dad,

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Jonnie Ball, he was doing it in the kitchen at home. He has done himself

0:10:29 > 0:10:36for mischief.Point your toes sometimes.Always great to see you.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Joanne Clifton!

0:10:40 > 0:10:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Right, time now to meet my next guests.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45On Saturday night they let us see "beneath their beautiful"

0:10:45 > 0:10:48with their rumba, and went on to reveal themselves as two

0:10:48 > 0:10:49schmokin' hot tango dancers!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Surviving the dance-off and heading straight to the final -

0:10:51 > 0:10:55it's Gemma and Aljaz.

0:11:02 > 0:11:10You have a beautiful set of pins, particularly for this dance.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Correct, sensual but not smutty. Even grandma would approve. Very

0:11:13 > 0:11:27good.I loved it.The determination, the passion. Very nice work. Very

0:11:27 > 0:11:31happy.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Hands in the air everyone - it's Gemma and Aljaz!

0:11:34 > 0:11:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Congratulations on surviving the dance-off, and more

0:11:37 > 0:11:38importantly welcome to the final!

0:11:38 > 0:11:40How are you feeling today?

0:11:40 > 0:11:47I feel so happy and grateful, lucky to be given the chance to be in the

0:11:47 > 0:11:55final. It's crazy.You did the work, and it's so deserved.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56Two dances.

0:11:56 > 0:11:57A place in the final at stake.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01What was the atmosphere like in the studio on Saturday?

0:12:01 > 0:12:05The atmosphere is the same every week regardless. Everybody knows the

0:12:05 > 0:12:09stakes are high because you are working towards it. For us, it's a

0:12:09 > 0:12:13case of getting through each dance each week. On Saturday, it only sunk

0:12:13 > 0:12:18into my head it was the semifinals as we were about to dance. Then you

0:12:18 > 0:12:25think, help, oh my gosh, I've got to go for it. It's like that every

0:12:25 > 0:12:31week, for me every week anyway, I am nervous every week.It doesn't get

0:12:31 > 0:12:35any easier. You think it will, but it doesn't.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38You'd managed to avoid the dance-off up until this point -

0:12:38 > 0:12:42were you surprised to be in the bottom two?

0:12:42 > 0:12:49You always surprised if you are in the bottom two. As soon as we

0:12:49 > 0:12:57were...Give him a second.There is a big Christmas tree right there.

0:12:57 > 0:13:06Nothing is going to jump out, I promise!Looked at that!It's final

0:13:06 > 0:13:19one.Amazing. And it's easy to read as well.Simple things, everybody.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23You always surprised when you're in the bottom two. Especially in the

0:13:23 > 0:13:29semifinal when the stakes are that high. As soon as we heard our names,

0:13:29 > 0:13:35we went backstage and we really composed ourselves. Let's just go

0:13:35 > 0:13:39out there. I thought the tango on Saturday was so good.Amazing.I

0:13:39 > 0:13:44love the way it went. You say to go out there and do the same, but we

0:13:44 > 0:13:47had to push because it was the semifinal. To get to the final you

0:13:47 > 0:13:52have to do your absolute best. You're talking about it really

0:13:52 > 0:13:56seriously and we are giggling to ourselves.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59In the words of Julie Andrews, let's start at the very beginning,

0:13:59 > 0:14:00it's a very good place to start.

0:14:00 > 0:14:07Your semi-final started with a dance dreaded by many, the rumba.

0:14:07 > 0:14:13I thought on Saturday I did as best as I could. It's a very hard dance

0:14:13 > 0:14:17to do. Straight from the rehearsal room, I was struggling to get it.

0:14:17 > 0:14:23But I think it went OK on the night. It went incredible!Everything he

0:14:23 > 0:14:28told me to do, when we watched it back, I loved it. And it was a great

0:14:28 > 0:14:32song. It was weird is doing it with Aljaz because he's my mate!And you

0:14:32 > 0:14:41looked the part.We did crack it. It's one of those, I always try with

0:14:41 > 0:14:44the Rumba, you don't really practice the romance in rehearsal. You want

0:14:44 > 0:14:51to make it real. You don't want to act it. As soon as we heard we were

0:14:51 > 0:15:00dancing the Rumba, Jenna has that one particular person that it always

0:15:00 > 0:15:05switches her on when she hears the name. All I have to say it is Tom

0:15:05 > 0:15:14Hardy! As soon as I said that she just... You know.He said, for this

0:15:14 > 0:15:16dance I'm Tom Hardy. It was easy.

0:15:25 > 0:15:29The tango was absolutely epic. Normally you come off and relax, you

0:15:29 > 0:15:34had to change. Did you love that? Anything like that, for me, it is

0:15:34 > 0:15:38the same as the paso

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Anything like that, for me, it is the same as the paso, a chance to be

0:15:40 > 0:15:44yourself. The more dainty ones I find harder to do. The tango, being

0:15:44 > 0:15:49strong, you can use your physicality more, I feel more comfortable.You

0:15:49 > 0:15:56smashed it. The judges saved you unanimously. That is incredible.

0:15:56 > 0:16:02Onto the three dancers. The showdowns, the judge's choice, and

0:16:02 > 0:16:06your favourite. Was that a unanimous decision?We actually still

0:16:06 > 0:16:16fighting! Straightaway, yes. Did we? Yes, we did.I am not allowed to do

0:16:16 > 0:16:21what it is.Which one is it, actually?They will be cross with

0:16:21 > 0:16:39me! The judges have chosen a dance for you to do again, which one?Ole!

0:16:39 > 0:16:45With three we did the paso and got a high score. We got the high school

0:16:45 > 0:16:50for that week. It was physicality. I love Coldplay, I love the

0:16:50 > 0:16:59choreography.You got 35, can you get more than that?We have to! We

0:16:59 > 0:17:09have no choice.We are definitely going to push that number.We are

0:17:09 > 0:17:24going to reveal your show dance tune. This is when you shine as a

0:17:24 > 0:17:28choreographer. Is this going to be the showdowns to end all show

0:17:28 > 0:17:33dancers?It's going to be very good. It's going to be all right.Whether

0:17:33 > 0:17:38I do it good or not is another matter. How he has done it, the

0:17:38 > 0:17:42concept and everything, straightaway I thought that was going to be

0:17:42 > 0:17:48amazing. He showed me bits today.It is the first one she actually likes

0:17:48 > 0:17:57that I have choreographed. If you are lucky enough to get to the

0:17:57 > 0:18:00final, choreographing the showdowns is very special. It is paying

0:18:00 > 0:18:04tribute to Gemma, the best bits from the series, trying to make something

0:18:04 > 0:18:16special. Hopefully it works.I can't wait! Gemma and Aljaz!The last one!

0:18:21 > 0:18:22Now listen up.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24When I say "Tunes on", you say "Tuesday!"

0:18:24 > 0:18:25Tunes on...

0:18:25 > 0:18:26Tuesday!

0:18:26 > 0:18:27Tunes on...

0:18:27 > 0:18:28Tuesday!

0:18:28 > 0:18:30You guessed it - it's Tunes on Tuesday!

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Very good!

0:18:35 > 0:18:41It's a showdance special tonight - let's warm this baby up!

0:18:41 > 0:18:43Come on, some encouragement!

0:18:43 > 0:18:46It's One Day I'll Fly Away, by Vaults.

0:18:46 > 0:18:51This dreamy ditty was of course made famous by Randy Crawford.

0:18:53 > 0:18:56Now as you might have gathered - we really care about dissecting

0:18:56 > 0:18:59the true meaning behind each song.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01This one is apparently about the emotional bondage

0:19:01 > 0:19:04experienced in life and the longing to be free of it.

0:19:04 > 0:19:05Deep.

0:19:05 > 0:19:08Let's see who will be spreading their wings

0:19:08 > 0:19:10to this on Saturday.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18Here we go...

0:19:18 > 0:19:21It's Debbie and Giovanni!

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Right, let's see what's next on the showdance playlist.

0:19:34 > 0:19:44It's Show Me How You Burlesque, by pop princess Christina Aguilera!

0:19:44 > 0:19:46This fierce number featured, funnily enough, in the film

0:19:46 > 0:19:47Burlesque starring Christina alongside

0:19:47 > 0:19:51Tunes on Tuesday fave - Cher!

0:19:51 > 0:19:55She's here tonight... She's not!

0:19:55 > 0:19:57But despite such tour de force leading ladies -

0:19:57 > 0:20:00the filmed was panned universally by the critics.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01Who will hoping for better reviews this Saturday?

0:20:06 > 0:20:09It's Gemma and Aljaz!

0:20:13 > 0:20:15It's you!

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Right, let's see what's next on the showdance playlist.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Hello!

0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's only one of the greatest musical songs of all time -

0:20:31 > 0:20:33There's No Business Like Showbusiness!

0:20:38 > 0:20:41Three of the finest champions of Strictly Come Dancing of all time.

0:20:41 > 0:20:43Although some are questionable!

0:20:43 > 0:20:46This song is of course synonymous with the undisputed First Lady

0:20:46 > 0:20:47of the musical comedy Ethel Merman.

0:20:47 > 0:20:52But Ethel wasn't always in line to be a star -

0:20:52 > 0:20:54before hitting the big time she was a stenographer.

0:20:54 > 0:20:58Which is a person who transcribes speech in short hand - fascinating!

0:20:58 > 0:21:02But who will be dancing to this on Saturday?

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Help me, boys.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's Alexandra and Gorka!

0:21:13 > 0:21:20Thank you, champions. Thank you. Don't mind them.

0:21:20 > 0:21:30Right, that just leaves Joe and Katya's showdance song.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34You Make My Dreams by Hall and Oates!

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Dreamy stuff indeed!

0:21:36 > 0:21:37To find out more about this weekend's songs,

0:21:37 > 0:21:41head to the website.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43On Saturday, another member will join the exclusive club of strictly

0:21:43 > 0:21:46champions.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14dynamic, animated, all of those wonderful things.This is turning

0:22:14 > 0:22:17into the best final ever.

0:22:24 > 0:22:28You are one athlete, the stamina.A star is born.

0:22:38 > 0:22:46Look at them. Glory boys they are.

0:22:46 > 0:22:53Where do you display your Glitterballs?

0:22:53 > 0:23:00It has just this minute come out of the toilet.What was it doing there?

0:23:00 > 0:23:04It was safe and my two-year-old likes playing with it. So it has

0:23:04 > 0:23:09gone into the study.Practising speeches, I like it.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12You won series 6 with Camilla Dallerup.

0:23:12 > 0:23:19I still get goose bumps when I watch that, do you have fond memories?It

0:23:19 > 0:23:22is a dream that you would want to repeat, but you would be too scared

0:23:22 > 0:23:27to do it. It is the most humbling and wonderful experience. You look

0:23:27 > 0:23:33at it and it feels like someone else. Did we really do that?Ore,

0:23:33 > 0:23:36you know how our finalists are feeling. What is going through their

0:23:36 > 0:23:43minds?All of the clammy nervousness, compiled to the series.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46I told them when I was there at the weekend, make sure this week is the

0:23:46 > 0:23:51best fun you have had all series. They are in an exclusive club

0:23:51 > 0:23:56already, it is the best way to see it off. If you can remember, when

0:23:56 > 0:24:01you are trying to remember five, six, seven, eight, have fun.You

0:24:01 > 0:24:04might never get to do it again. Let's talk about the finalists. Joe

0:24:04 > 0:24:09and Katya.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Now Tom you're an actor, you've starred in Holby City,

0:24:11 > 0:24:12you've won Strictly.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14See where I'm going here.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Do you think Joe can follow in your footsteps?

0:24:17 > 0:24:22He was a dark horse that came through. The turning point, I loved

0:24:22 > 0:24:26him in his cabaret experience. He has found the essence, which is so

0:24:26 > 0:24:31important for the audience, the pure joy. It is so hard to contain the

0:24:31 > 0:24:36nerves and think about the judges marking that, I went wrong there or

0:24:36 > 0:24:43there. Just remember that dancing is a joyous expression and he has found

0:24:43 > 0:24:50out.I want to write that down! Essence. Ore, you described him as a

0:24:50 > 0:25:00unicorn. What are you calling him now?I think the unicorn is still

0:25:00 > 0:25:11sitting. They have gone everywhere. That cabaret number, that is where

0:25:11 > 0:25:14it all came together. You found a guy that was so comfortable in that

0:25:14 > 0:25:20space. They have been such an amazing partnership. I am going to

0:25:20 > 0:25:28buy that unicorn for Christmas. I think they are still in stock.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Now onto dance-off survivors Gemma and Aljaz.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32They had a tough ride at the weekend, do you think

0:25:32 > 0:25:33they can bounce back?

0:25:33 > 0:25:36Of course they can. I have just been speaking to her. She is so

0:25:36 > 0:25:42refreshing. She is the one that seems to enjoy it the most. Come on,

0:25:42 > 0:25:46give it some. That is what my old mate used to say, give it some of

0:25:46 > 0:25:49that and then you never know what happens. She has got through what

0:25:49 > 0:25:54can be the worst thing, the dance-off. Now there is nothing to

0:25:54 > 0:25:57lose, the final week, give it everything you've got. She looks

0:25:57 > 0:26:05fantastic and I like her music for the show dance.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08Let's talk about the comeback kid Alexandra and Gorka.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Consistently high scores from these two - are you excited to see

0:26:10 > 0:26:17what they'll deliver in the final?

0:26:17 > 0:26:20They have been so consistently high throughout. If you can't bring it to

0:26:20 > 0:26:24the final, when can you? The salsa, the scorpion kick, I don't know what

0:26:24 > 0:26:32that was but it was spicy. I've no experience whatsoever of that, I

0:26:32 > 0:26:35just made it up. They have so many tricks in their locker. Because of

0:26:35 > 0:26:41this, that they have done over the last few weeks, that has been low,

0:26:41 > 0:26:45and they know that they have nothing to lose. I think we are going to see

0:26:45 > 0:26:49a firecracker.It's going to be like that!

0:26:49 > 0:26:51They are performing their showdance to There's No Business

0:26:51 > 0:26:58Like Show Business - do you have high expectations?

0:26:58 > 0:27:03Is it a good number?I think the final will be won and nothing else

0:27:03 > 0:27:07but the Showdance. It's got to be good. The music has to be good, the

0:27:07 > 0:27:11crowd, the audience at home have got to embrace it. If you can't get

0:27:11 > 0:27:15going to There's No Business Like Show Business, don't switch on on

0:27:15 > 0:27:19Saturday night. For me, that is the number one track that will get

0:27:19 > 0:27:25everybody going. She is amazing, I love her. She has had terrible

0:27:25 > 0:27:28social media responses. I think the way she keeps coming back is just

0:27:28 > 0:27:32brilliant. I wish her the best of luck.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35Next up is Debbie and Giovanni - often found lurking around

0:27:35 > 0:27:39the top of the leaderboard.

0:27:39 > 0:27:46Are you a fan? Are you under her spell?In the words of dear Brucie,

0:27:46 > 0:27:52she is my favourite. I love the way that she looks at every single

0:27:52 > 0:28:02moment you can see how grateful she is to be there. Her aura is oozing

0:28:02 > 0:28:09out. Seeing her at the front, nobody putts Debbie in the corner.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11The judges have chosen Debbie and Giovanni

0:28:11 > 0:28:12to revisit their week 8 Salsa.

0:28:12 > 0:28:18They scored 35 points, do you think they can top it?

0:28:18 > 0:28:22I think they totally can. Giovanni has been in the final as well

0:28:22 > 0:28:27before. The two of them have such amazing chemistry. The salsa was

0:28:27 > 0:28:30phenomenal already. They are just going to bring it. I love the two

0:28:30 > 0:28:34them together. Like I say, they have amazing chemistry. Facial chemistry,

0:28:34 > 0:28:40they look into each other's eyes. There is a real connection, a real

0:28:40 > 0:28:41essence.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43The time has come.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Down the line - who do you think is going to win?

0:28:46 > 0:28:56We can do that.So cruel. Joe is hot favourite, but I'm going for young

0:28:56 > 0:29:03Deborah, Debbie McGee. I no longer want to be the oldest champion.Tom?

0:29:03 > 0:29:08I am going Debbie as well. But I do love Joe. It is about come on the

0:29:08 > 0:29:11night, anybody's game in the final. It's about the dancers and the

0:29:11 > 0:29:17music. The combination of those factors, anybody's game.Can I be

0:29:17 > 0:29:23diplomatic? You know I love them all. Last year, going into it, it

0:29:23 > 0:29:27was anyone's game. We had an amazing night. Like you said, it could be

0:29:27 > 0:29:34anyone that pulls it out of the bag. You are not getting anything out of

0:29:34 > 0:29:36me.Biggest night of the year!

0:29:36 > 0:29:39Thank you so much for joining us, give it up for our Strictly champs!

0:29:39 > 0:29:41That's all we have time for tonight!
