0:00:54 > 0:00:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hello, and welcome to It Takes Two!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Like I said just 24 hours ago, it's the last Tuesday of the series!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Except it's Wednesday.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And have we got a mid-week special for you!
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Back for one last warm-up, it's my telly husband, Ian Waite!
0:01:14 > 0:01:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Gorgeous man!
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Fine specimen of a gentleman!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Still celebrating their first 40 of the series, it's finalists
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Alexandra and Gorka!
0:01:26 > 0:01:31APPLAUSE Good work!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33And we've dug out our best china, because Lady Daly
0:01:33 > 0:01:35and Lady Winkleman are in the house.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36APPLAUSE
0:01:36 > 0:01:39But now, with temperatures dipping as low as -13 this week,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43we need him more than ever - it's time for Waite's Warm-Up!
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Ian Waite, everyone! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:02:02 > 0:02:08He is... I can't believe it! What a lovely audience, a lovely crowd. 12
0:02:08 > 0:02:11weeks together, what are you going to do without me?I'm going to
0:02:11 > 0:02:15struggle, but I'm sure I will carry on!Your fight on!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18This weekend, our finalists will perform not one, not two,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20but three dances: The Judges' Choice, their own favourite dance,
0:02:20 > 0:02:26and the ol' piece de resistance - the Show Dance.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Now, there's only so much we can show of the Show Dances,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32but what we can show is enough to get us nicely warmed up!
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Now, show us your wand!
0:02:36 > 0:02:42Then we can get things started... That's beautiful!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44First up, Gemma and Aljaz.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50They're dancing to Show Me How You Burlesque by Christina Aguilera.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Has this got enough razzle-dazzle for you?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58What a great tune. I was going to use this for my tour, and I probably
0:02:58 > 0:03:02won't be able to now. They will be doing a charleston inspired
0:03:02 > 0:03:08Showdance with touches of jive and Lindy, as you can see. And here,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12look, Zoe, they are just about to do a lift. Now, look at that lovely
0:03:12 > 0:03:19preparation from Gemma the.Bending in the knees.If we can just dry it
0:03:20 > 0:03:26this never goes well on this show! Guess the left, that a new show!
0:03:26 > 0:03:33Prepare, OK, and... Oh! APPLAUSE
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I did realise you are actually going to lift me.That was an easy one.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Better than the last one!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Next, Alexandra and Gorka are taking on one of the great show tunes:
0:03:42 > 0:03:44There's No Business Like Show Business.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49This could be a cracker.Phenomenal tune. There's a lot of side by side
0:03:49 > 0:03:57content here, Zoe. Doing brilliantly well, lots of energy. Galloping,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00trotting, skipping. Alex has improved so much in her feet and
0:04:00 > 0:04:04legs. I'm so proud of her, because we've been going on about it for so
0:04:04 > 0:04:13long, haven't we?She has done well. She is pointing and stretching that
0:04:13 > 0:04:17toe, lovely. That's what we want to see, especially in that final. Just
0:04:17 > 0:04:21a little note, keep your shoulders down. Emotional shoulders, I know,
0:04:21 > 0:04:26I've had it, it's been a curse all my life.You've had emotional
0:04:26 > 0:04:27shoulders!
0:04:27 > 0:04:28On to Debbie and Giovanni.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31They're dancing to One Day I'll Fly Away by Randy Crawford.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33What are you getting from this little snippet here?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Well, I love this piece of music in the long Roush, it was fantastic. I
0:04:37 > 0:04:44would be calling this a Diageo ballet number, lots of lines and
0:04:44 > 0:04:49lifts. I mean, look at her, absolutely beautiful. And it's a
0:04:49 > 0:04:54sort of slower take on a Showdance. More contemporary, but very
0:04:54 > 0:05:00emotional, as, you know, the likes of Caroline Flack, she won with a
0:05:00 > 0:05:02very emotional, contemporary dance. I'm going to point out a few things,
0:05:02 > 0:05:08and we can use as many things as we can.Last time.Very good shaping of
0:05:08 > 0:05:14the hands, good connection there. Also, look at that, lovely foot.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Nice foot action. Lovely. And she's got a lovely shaping in the body, as
0:05:18 > 0:05:25you can see. And then, look, he looks like a cat that got the cream.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Giovanni is a very happy boy.What else do I want to spotlight? Oh,
0:05:29 > 0:05:35yes, the hits are lovely.Is there anything bad in that? Nothing!No,
0:05:35 > 0:05:41is pretty good.Nice hands as well! -- nice tanning as well.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And finally, Joe and Katya.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46They'll be dancing to You Make My Dreams by Hall & Oates.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Can they top that move from the end of their Argentine Tango?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Well, again, as you can see, is there, he is supporting Katya every
0:05:51 > 0:05:56step of the way. I love the way that he leads her and she follows. It's a
0:05:56 > 0:06:00really difficult job as a man, but he really has got to this stage, and
0:06:00 > 0:06:05that's what's got them there. A few things that I'd really like them to
0:06:05 > 0:06:09work on, there and there. That hand is a little bit too far forward. And
0:06:09 > 0:06:18the shoulder is a little bit too far back. If he gets the shoulder up in
0:06:18 > 0:06:21a promenade, he can get the handbag. Let's hope he can get that right.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Useful. Lots of people all over the country have been recreating Joe and
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Katya's move from the end of last week's Argentine tango, and we
0:06:28 > 0:06:32thought we'd give it a go! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:32 > 0:06:38I am wearing pop socks, I apologise! I've been told this is very
0:06:38 > 0:06:39technical.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40I've been told this is very technical.I have two limb up!There
0:06:40 > 0:06:45and leave me hanging!Be careful what you do with those massive feet.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Get them round, boy! This is going to be beautiful, people! Are you
0:06:49 > 0:06:52ready for this?! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Tell me when you're ready, honey! Here we go, here we go, here we
0:06:55 > 0:07:00go... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Brilliant!
0:07:02 > 0:07:08CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Brilliant!We did and Anton...That
0:07:08 > 0:07:13was our tribute to Antoine and Rupert! Thank you, darling. We will
0:07:13 > 0:07:15see you on Friday. I love this boy!
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Give it up for Mr Toasty Toes himself - Ian Waite!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22APPLAUSE I think I've done myself an injury!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Now, if there's one thing we're going to miss,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26it's our frequent visits to the Strictly Bingo Hall.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Our numbers never came up, but at least all the pros
0:07:29 > 0:07:31had a lovely time - they don't get out much...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Love you!

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Thank you, Anton.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Time now to welcome a couple who finally scored
0:09:23 > 0:09:24top marks on Saturday.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25About time, Craig!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28All they had to do was serve up the hottest Salsa
0:09:28 > 0:09:29this side of Mexico.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31It's Alexandra and Gorka!
0:09:41 > 0:09:45It was reaching through space, and at the same time in motoring.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Brilliant!I love the way you held your little fingers as if you were
0:09:49 > 0:09:52holding a little porcelain egg, everything about it was stunning,
0:09:52 > 0:10:02you are stunning!Absolutely fabulous!I loved it! If you are not
0:10:02 > 0:10:05in that final, I'm going to get into his speedos!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08LAUGHTER
0:10:09 > 0:10:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Alexandra and Gorka everyone!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Finally, that elusive fourth ten made an appearance!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Well, you know what that means.
0:10:20 > 0:10:31Here we go... CHEERING
0:10:31 > 0:10:38Sometimes we get party poppers, sometimes we can't afford them! Oh,
0:10:38 > 0:10:40look, the baubles and literally throwing themselves off the tree!
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Just how satisfying was it?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49It was amazing, did not for a second expect it. Still to this day right
0:10:49 > 0:10:54now, a couple of days later, still can't believe it! I'm, like, so
0:10:54 > 0:10:54happy!
0:10:54 > 0:10:59Was it about time Craig got out his ten paddle?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Finally! Yes, it was perfect. I can't believe it, it was the
0:11:03 > 0:11:09semifinal. One minute we would get the 40 and help us to be in the
0:11:09 > 0:11:14final, not this week.If you were going to write the fairy story, that
0:11:14 > 0:11:16is definitely the semifinal.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17Craig didn't have any criticisms.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19In fact, for him it was absolutely fabulous!
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Your face said it all.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23But just how shocked were you to hear that?
0:11:23 > 0:11:27I'll tell you something, I just... It just felt so overwhelming that
0:11:27 > 0:11:33day. The semifinals was the one time that the whole Strictly experienced
0:11:33 > 0:11:38that I felt so relaxed. We will both just like, let's go out, have fun,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42dance and just do this. You have to end it that way, by having fun. To
0:11:42 > 0:11:47get that kind of school, it was so much, too much to deal with, and I
0:11:47 > 0:11:50didn't cry, I was so happy with myself!Well done!
0:11:50 > 0:11:53APPLAUSE
0:11:53 > 0:11:542014 champ Caroline Flack
0:11:54 > 0:11:55tweeted: "That was MEGA,
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Alexandra and Gorka".
0:11:56 > 0:11:58And the lovely Joe McElderry said: "Yes, Alexandra,
0:11:58 > 0:12:07shut them down with your talent!"
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Feel the love, my darling!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Darcey said if you didn't get through to the final,
0:12:11 > 0:12:12she would wear Bruno's Speedos!
0:12:12 > 0:12:18She must've had a lot of faith in you and the British public.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Which is nice! Go right that quite encouraging, isn't it? It's really
0:12:22 > 0:12:26encouraging. But if she had to put speedos on, I think the world would
0:12:26 > 0:12:32have loved it! The white I'm sure it can be arranged at the wrap party!
0:12:32 > 0:12:36--I'm sure it can be arranged at the wrap party! I'm not sure what
0:12:36 > 0:12:38size of speedos!
0:12:38 > 0:12:40You also danced the Viennese Waltz.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42A completely different routine in every way.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Did you have to get in a different mindset in between dances?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48You know what? This was the one where actually it just felt so
0:12:48 > 0:12:52beautiful. I felt like a Little Princess on that stage. You know,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56we'd taken that in during the hassle. We didn't know how it was
0:12:56 > 0:13:00going to go, because the song was making me emotional in rehearsal, I
0:13:00 > 0:13:04didn't want to show all of that on stage, but the emotion came through,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07hopefully people saw that in our dance and hopefully they enjoyed it.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I loved doing the Viennese waltz, if I had the opportunity to do that
0:13:10 > 0:13:15again, I would.I loved it.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Little fact for you - with a total of five,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20you have received the most 39s in Strictly history!
0:13:20 > 0:13:26CHEERING Rulli and! It's a fact, people! --
0:13:26 > 0:13:32brilliant.That's my lucky number! Is it?! And the! These other people
0:13:32 > 0:13:41who have scored 30 94 times. Chelsee and Pasha, Harry, Rachel and
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Vincent. There you go, well done, darling. I know just winning things
0:13:44 > 0:13:46all the time.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49After two weeks in a row in the bottom two, how did it feel
0:13:49 > 0:13:52to hear your name being called safe and through to the final?
0:13:52 > 0:13:58A very emotional couple of weeks? Your reaction was something else!
0:13:58 > 0:14:05Look at you! LAUGHTER
0:14:05 > 0:14:10I was over the moon, we both were! I leapt on Walker, as I always do. You
0:14:10 > 0:14:14know what, we definitely thought that if we were going to be in the
0:14:14 > 0:14:18bottom two again, let's just dance our lives away. But I think, that
0:14:18 > 0:14:22was just... I can't even put into words how it felt to get to the
0:14:22 > 0:14:26final with the public road. I'm so, so grateful to those who have
0:14:26 > 0:14:30supported us and voted for us, because we owe it all to each and
0:14:30 > 0:14:33every single person and we are dancing for them this weekend,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37absolutely dancing for them.I love that. Your face was an absolute
0:14:37 > 0:14:38picture!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40This is only your second series, but your first final.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43How determined were you to get there with Alexandra?
0:14:43 > 0:14:48It is incredible, I still cannot believe it. Thank you for her for
0:14:48 > 0:14:52helping us to this final. The way she danced on Saturday was
0:14:52 > 0:14:56incredible. For the last time...The last time, in inverted commas, is
0:14:56 > 0:15:00never the last time.I'm getting emotional!Three dances to do this
0:15:00 > 0:15:05weekend.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07In terms of preparation, what level of "beast mode"
0:15:07 > 0:15:09are you at at the moment?
0:15:09 > 0:15:14100%.To the point where I'm giggling too much in rehearsals
0:15:14 > 0:15:19right now.I couldn't cope with her today! In the break she was like...
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Come on!
0:15:22 > 0:15:24For your Showdance, you're dancing to this...
0:15:24 > 0:15:30MUSIC: There's No Business Like Showbusiness.
0:15:30 > 0:15:36Look at that! I love a classic Showdance Djoum, it's so good. -- a
0:15:36 > 0:15:37classic Showdance June.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Without giving anything away, what can you tell us?
0:15:40 > 0:15:45No business like show business!
0:15:45 > 0:15:48The judges have picked your American Smooth from Movie Week.
0:15:48 > 0:15:55I'm assuming it because of the celery, which we loved!
0:15:55 > 0:15:59You got a total of 33 the first time round.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Do you think you can approve on the scores this time around was yellow
0:16:03 > 0:16:10on Saturday, she got a very good comment her free arm.I try my best.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Put it into this one, it's a bit of a number, I love this knob at.We
0:16:14 > 0:16:20both loved it.Please tell me you kept the celery! -- I love this
0:16:20 > 0:16:24number. You get to choose your favourite dance. There's quite a few
0:16:24 > 0:16:28to choose from. You can't tell us. Will you be giving any tweaks or add
0:16:28 > 0:16:33anything extra to?We would like to polish it and make it better. It was
0:16:33 > 0:16:40a great number when we done it.I can always improve.Fingers crossed!
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Good luck this weekend. I'm so happy you made it so far. Alexandra and
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Gorka! For the last time...I know! We're going to see you on Friday.

0:18:26 > 0:18:33Viennese waltz and one by one, we reveal all the celebrities.Or just
0:18:33 > 0:18:36about to start. I am behind this pillar and Robbie Savage is just
0:18:36 > 0:18:44over there. He is counting us in. I'm finding the Viennese waltz quite
0:18:44 > 0:18:48difficult. I never did it on Strictly six years ago. At the end
0:18:48 > 0:19:00of it, I haven't got a clue where I am.You're not lying.Keep walking.
0:19:00 > 0:19:09Then we do a pivot and then we do a nice Christmassy grin. My actions
0:19:09 > 0:19:17speak for themselves.We are really lucky that we get to dance together
0:19:17 > 0:19:26again. Does that give us an unfair advantage?Some might say.It is
0:19:26 > 0:19:31three years since I did Strictly by haven't danced since, so it has
0:19:31 > 0:19:36taken me a while to remember the routines.It's very elegant and
0:19:36 > 0:19:42classy, perfect for a Christmas special.There are Christmas trees
0:19:42 > 0:19:46everywhere you look. There's big Ribbans. There really is a Christmas
0:19:46 > 0:19:52dream.I love Christmas. I'm already looking at what decorations I can
0:19:52 > 0:19:58steal. I shouldn't have said that on camera.Christmas and Strictly, it's
0:19:58 > 0:20:11like a fairy tale. I love it.Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!On Christmas
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Day, once the turkey is all eaten, sit down for some Strictly, it just
0:20:15 > 0:20:19cannot be beaten.Thank you, Pasha.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21And the Christmas Special will be on your screens
0:20:21 > 0:20:23at 6:30pm on Christmas Day.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Now, after countless diary clashes, we've finally
0:20:26 > 0:20:29managed to pin them down.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31And right before the final, what luck!
0:20:31 > 0:20:41Please give a royal welcome to Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman!
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Welcome to our humble abode.
0:20:46 > 0:20:54Are you having flashbacks coming in here?No, but this is much more...I
0:20:54 > 0:21:03watched you every week. Shirley and Darcey were on the show earlier this
0:21:03 > 0:21:07week. Do you feel that your position as Queen bees has been threatened?
0:21:07 > 0:21:18It's over. Let's say who is really in charge, which is Dave Arch. But
0:21:18 > 0:21:24we love Shirley and Darcey.Give Dave Arch my love. I love that man.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27We'll have our own Dance Debrief in just a mo.
0:21:27 > 0:21:34But while we're on the subject of our new Head Judge...
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Never too early to discuss Shirley.
0:21:35 > 0:21:41What do you think the mighty Ballas has brought to Strictly this series?
0:21:41 > 0:21:46She has just made an effortless transition. Big boots to fill, and
0:21:46 > 0:21:50she has been brilliant. I love her to bits. She is genuine. She feels
0:21:50 > 0:21:58like the real deal. She is warm.And she is really funny. She is the
0:21:58 > 0:22:01first person who will go up to someone and say, can I get you a cup
0:22:01 > 0:22:15of tea? She is amazing.We adore her.Good.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Shirley memorably gave you a bit of constructive
0:22:17 > 0:22:19criticism during Halloween, saying, "You need to pull in your
0:22:19 > 0:22:29fuse box and flatten your chest".
0:22:29 > 0:22:34I am properly in love with her, and she said to sit back. I have tried,
0:22:34 > 0:22:45but I'm not good at it.Tess, you are right there when the celebrities
0:22:45 > 0:22:52get all the criticism.I feel so protective towards them. They are
0:22:52 > 0:22:57still shaking when they come to me. Their hands are shaking and they
0:22:57 > 0:23:03can't speak because of the nerves. And I just feel for them. If there
0:23:03 > 0:23:09are mean comments involved, not mentioning anyone in particular...
0:23:09 > 0:23:21"Dull, dull, dull", that was nice. But the judges have to do their job.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25This year, the gag count has been off the charts. We picked out our
0:23:25 > 0:23:33favourite mega lol moment.Will argue for Susan's dance on a cruise
0:23:33 > 0:23:44ship.Where is she going?Alaska. When she tells you, let me know!
0:23:44 > 0:23:50Alaska, Claud!If it's not too much trouble. She has never been like
0:23:50 > 0:24:03this.How do you keep a straight face?I don't, she cracks me up.I
0:24:03 > 0:24:11love a crash mat.I want them to cut away to what is going on. It is too
0:24:11 > 0:24:21good.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23What's the secret to this winning combo?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25What's the secret to this winning combo?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35I love this one. I am not saying the presenting the show gets in the way,
0:24:35 > 0:24:41but we get there early and we talk like this. I get very nervous. If
0:24:41 > 0:24:49Tess is ever wearing long sleeves, it is because I have squeeze her arm
0:24:49 > 0:24:59off. They tell us how many people are watching, and I panic.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04Complementing outfits must also be key.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07At a glance, we counted 25 outfits each across the series.
0:25:07 > 0:25:12Well, Claudia, for you it was 24 plus one nightie.
0:25:12 > 0:25:18That was my favourite of your outfits. I think I was having a
0:25:18 > 0:25:27turn. I was in Blackpool and Sinead said, put that on, love. And I got
0:25:27 > 0:25:33this, which I think was for after.I love Sunday's as well with the
0:25:33 > 0:25:38raffle. -- the raffle.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Now, as one of television's strongest partnerships,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43we want to find out how in tune you really are.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45So it's time to play a game we've imaginatively
0:25:45 > 0:25:47titled: Tess Or Claudia!
0:25:47 > 0:25:54You both have a paddle.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Waived the right face at me.
0:25:56 > 0:26:02Let's see how many matches you can get.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07Are the prizes?There are no prizes, we have no budget left.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08No conferring.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Let's go.
0:26:09 > 0:26:15Who takes the longest in the tanning booth?
0:26:15 > 0:26:16It's a match.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18If Janette Manrara was busy, who would make
0:26:18 > 0:26:23the best Latin Sensation?
0:26:23 > 0:26:31Who would be the toughest judge?
0:26:31 > 0:26:40Are you cheating?, Not allowed to do that?Is this acceptable? We are
0:26:40 > 0:26:40moving on.
0:26:40 > 0:26:47Who could rival Debbie McGee in the flexi stakes?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I have heard about you.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Who's most likely to leave their Christmas shopping
0:26:51 > 0:26:56till the last minute?
0:26:56 > 0:27:03Both of us.
0:27:03 > 0:27:10Who's going to be first on the dance floor at the wrap party?
0:27:10 > 0:27:21Oh, both.You are matching! Which means you have won a crockery set
0:27:21 > 0:27:23and a meal for two in Shepherd's Bush tandoori.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Right, let's look ahead to the main event now.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32You've hosted your fair share of finals.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37Are you as excited as ever?
0:27:37 > 0:27:44I so am, because I can't call it. How many people have asked me this
0:27:44 > 0:27:48week, who is going to win, and I genuinely have no idea because they
0:27:48 > 0:27:55are so close. They could be won on the show dance.Talking of show
0:27:55 > 0:28:02dances, Claud, if the two of you did a show dance, talk me through
0:28:02 > 0:28:15concept, dance, costume, music.It might just be quiet. I would play
0:28:15 > 0:28:24the male. Tess would come down, suspended. It might be music- free.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28And then she would come down. It would be interpretive dance, where
0:28:28 > 0:28:34we reduce props. And there would be breathing, and there would be lifts.
0:28:34 > 0:28:41I love a lift. I would lift her a lot, weeping.We are going to make
0:28:41 > 0:28:41this happen.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Give it up for Tess and Claud, everyone!
0:28:45 > 0:28:49That's all we have time for tonight.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Join me again tomorrow, when I'll be chatting to Joe and Katya,
0:28:52 > 0:28:55our finalists' celebrity friends will be showing their support, Vicky
0:28:55 > 0:28:59Gill gives us one last preview, and Louise Redknapp sings live!
