:00:10. > :00:15.It's frequenty Friday, coming up on tonight - freaky Friday, coming up
:00:15. > :00:21.on the show we have what's in store for the Hallowe'en special. I drop
:00:21. > :00:27.into the spooky Strictly studio, plus the gorgeous Alesha Dixon is
:00:27. > :00:37.on the Friday panel. And East Ender, John Partridge. This will be a
:00:37. > :00:37.
:00:37. > :01:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:01:19. > :01:24.Hello, and welcome to Friday It Takes Two. We have been gearing up
:01:24. > :01:32.to the Friday special all week, and now it is only this much until the
:01:32. > :01:35.witching hour is spon us. This weekend, 11 will become ten,
:01:35. > :01:40.with the standard of the competition so high, we can't even
:01:40. > :01:46.begin to guess who will be leaving. In just a moment I will be talking
:01:46. > :01:53.terrifying Tangos to Chelsee and Pasha. First, here is a reminder of
:01:53. > :01:59.how they Qickstepped their way to success on Saturday. Chelsee, the
:01:59. > :02:03.pocket rocket is off! Higher than you can possibly reach. Pasha you
:02:03. > :02:08.checked in, Chelsee, tomorrow night you will not be checking out.
:02:08. > :02:18.did fans particular routine, the only criticism is it ended too soon.
:02:18. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:31.Wow. It's our best score so far. The best score, I'm over the moon.
:02:31. > :02:41.For the first time I actually really loved being out there.
:02:41. > :02:44.Please welcome Chelsee and Pasha. That was almost the beginnings of a
:02:44. > :02:49.Dirty Dancing lift at the end. Well done on Saturday, it was so good
:02:49. > :02:55.your quickstep, I was on the sofa, my little girl Nelly was going,
:02:55. > :02:59.come on! How was it to be top of the leaderboard, Chelsee? It was
:02:59. > :03:04.amazing, I was absolutely made up. I was over the moon. And I didn't
:03:04. > :03:08.expect it. You really didn't expect it, did you? No. The other amazing
:03:08. > :03:12.thing, you only had, I think it was just under 12 hours of training
:03:12. > :03:18.last week, because of Waterloo Road, that is all the time you had. She
:03:18. > :03:23.must be a really fast learner? I'm not. She is, but I think it is
:03:23. > :03:27.a lot to do with the stress. When you are in situation you have to
:03:27. > :03:32.perform, Chelsee is going for it. When I know the pressure on, that
:03:32. > :03:37.is when I think you have to knuckle down. You work better with pressure.
:03:37. > :03:41.I don't like it. She works better. Have you had any more training time
:03:41. > :03:47.this week? Not really. That is maybe a good thing? If anything, I
:03:47. > :03:50.think we have had less. You can't wait to see it then? No. If that's
:03:50. > :03:55.what you do after so little training. You are doing the Tango
:03:55. > :04:00.this week, a lot of passion in the Tango, loving watching your
:04:00. > :04:08.training, have you perfected your almost kiss yet? Pasha's loving it,
:04:08. > :04:17.I keep having to ease him off. off Pasha! She got it wrong, she
:04:17. > :04:23.keeps pulling me towards her. can't help myself. Your dancing -
:04:23. > :04:29.you are dance to go this: # Love position number nine
:04:29. > :04:33.See, desperate to kiss you. Alesha was talking about your chemistry,
:04:33. > :04:38.is that music going to help stir the chemistry up, give us a great
:04:38. > :04:43.performance on Saturday night? music definitely helps. I think
:04:43. > :04:49.chemistry starts building during the rehearsals. Every time we are
:04:49. > :04:57.together we kind of do it. bounce off each other. You are a
:04:57. > :05:07.little bit. Bopbg, bopbg. Don't ever do that again, P a s h.
:05:07. > :05:08.
:05:08. > :05:16.have noticed you are a bit like an old married couple.
:05:16. > :05:21.Can you change those papbts, I'm not keen on them. What's wrong?
:05:21. > :05:31.like you in jeans more, you look more manly. How nice for you.
:05:31. > :05:32.
:05:32. > :05:37.have changed your papbts. No I didn't. I have only just noticed. I
:05:37. > :05:47.have only just clocked on to that. It is not about the look, this
:05:47. > :05:47.
:05:47. > :05:51.thing didn't hold. Whatever! Whatever! You are quite embarrassed
:05:51. > :05:55.Pasha, aren't you. The all- important question, is what are you
:05:55. > :05:58.wearing tomorrow night for Hallowe'en? He's definitely not
:05:58. > :06:03.wearing them pants anywhere. I know what you mean about those
:06:03. > :06:11.pants. What are you going to be wearing? I have a lovely dress and
:06:11. > :06:17.I'm excited to wear it. Hallowe'en clorbgs and it has a big heart on -
:06:17. > :06:20.colours, and it has a big heart on it. What are you wearing, we will
:06:20. > :06:25.make her fall in love with you. What will you wearing? Matching
:06:25. > :06:29.stuff. I'm going to be a mad scientist. But stylish mad
:06:29. > :06:33.scientist. You can have bubbleing bottles and all that. You have set
:06:33. > :06:39.the bar for yourselves very, very high. How are you going to maintain
:06:39. > :06:43.that top spot tomorrow? To be honest, we are not looking at it
:06:43. > :06:47.like that, we are not saying we are going to stay at the top, we will
:06:47. > :06:52.go and try our best, hopefully put our all into it, and hopefully it
:06:52. > :06:57.will be good scores. We are looking forward to the almost kiss, Chelsee
:06:57. > :07:03.and Pasha. Thank you.
:07:03. > :07:13.I'm loving the way you say "manly"! Our professional dancers like to
:07:13. > :07:27.
:07:27. > :07:34.get dress up, can you guess which Who is the dancer in disguise? Find
:07:34. > :07:39.out later in the show. I will never forget that routine,
:07:39. > :07:43.elephants never forget. Earlier on today, I hopped on my broomstick to
:07:43. > :07:46.visit the Strictly studio to find out how the preparations were
:07:46. > :07:56.coming along, here is what happened. Look Holbrooke's frock, she's not
:07:56. > :07:57.
:07:57. > :08:02.in it, sadly, for you. Just being fixed. Jason Donovan is in there.
:08:02. > :08:06.If you come into the Strictly studio, you can see a complete
:08:06. > :08:11.makeover, we have spooky tree, gravestones, cobwebs, all ready for
:08:12. > :08:18.the Hallowe'en show. I have come down early to have a chat with this
:08:18. > :08:24.lady. Hello Alex, hello James. How are you both. How is the atmosphere
:08:24. > :08:28.in the studio today? Creepy, scary, spooky. Is that just hanging out
:08:28. > :08:32.with him! He does that to people. You are doing the paso doble this
:08:32. > :08:35.week, got a bit of a confidence knocking last weekend, have you
:08:35. > :08:39.picked yourself up how are you feeling? We have picked ourselves
:08:39. > :08:44.up, dusted ourselves out, and we are going to give it a bit of welly
:08:45. > :08:48.this week. That is what we like. Doing the paso doble, Alex is such
:08:48. > :08:52.a lovely girl, you have to be quite aggressive, how are you bringing
:08:52. > :08:57.the aggression out of her? Generally annoying me. That will do
:08:57. > :09:01.it every time. Joking. Are you finished. That's a scary look.
:09:01. > :09:05.is my scary face. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body, it has
:09:05. > :09:12.been really difficult, but we have been thinking about Craig a lot.
:09:12. > :09:20.And that's been helping a little bit. Where you are stamping the
:09:20. > :09:24.foot, we call it a Craig- 2- 3- 4. Any scary spooky moves on the
:09:24. > :09:31.floor? They are not in there, although they may appear on the
:09:31. > :09:35.night, I'm only joking. You can't wind him up this week? I'm in
:09:35. > :09:39.character for Hallowe'en. You two are such a brilliant partnership,
:09:39. > :09:49.we have noticed, once more, in the training room, there is often more
:09:49. > :09:52.
:09:52. > :10:00.It looks like a chicken wing. lots of impression of Alex, and I
:10:00. > :10:10.show her what she looks like. look like a goldfish. Very good
:10:10. > :10:14.
:10:14. > :10:24.without the donkey legs, step that way and that way and step. Me o w!
:10:24. > :10:28.
:10:28. > :10:32.You look like a crab, you are like a horse, troting! What can you say.
:10:32. > :10:39.It is like Doctor Doolittle. Did you know you could do an impression
:10:39. > :10:44.of so many animals? I thought we were in dance studio not Noah's Ark.
:10:44. > :10:49.We have managed to sneakly grab the judges paddles, they have
:10:49. > :10:55.Hallowe'en paddles, give us a glimpse of what you will score this
:10:55. > :11:00.weekend. It was a tough one, but I hope, fingers crossed, a six.
:11:00. > :11:04.on, you have to go higher than that. I'm more positive, I'm hoping.
:11:04. > :11:10.Because we haven't had a nine yet. You want a nine, even a ten. Will
:11:10. > :11:14.you do us all a favour? I'm not greedy, a nine would be fine. Don't
:11:14. > :11:21.be greedy. Will you give us a sneaky little look. OK. A little
:11:21. > :11:31.section of it. Oh the dance! Here you are, It Takes Two, this is
:11:31. > :11:31.
:11:31. > :12:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds
:12:12. > :12:16.Alex and James, and the pass dough Come on Alex, get him.
:12:16. > :12:22.We do like the illegal kick of the butt. I can't wait to see the whole
:12:22. > :12:31.routine tomorrow. Last Saturday Len described my next couple's Viennese
:12:32. > :12:39.Waltz as lovely / light and fluffy. Welcome Holly and Artem. Welcome
:12:39. > :12:44.you gorgeous twosome. Not sure if you were a fan of the Viennese
:12:44. > :12:48.Waltz before Saturday, how did it go? It was a tough week, it was not
:12:48. > :12:51.as, I wasn't into it as much. I wasn't into the song. I struggled a
:12:52. > :12:56.little bit. On the night I really actually enjoyed myself. And
:12:56. > :13:01.looking back now I think it was quite lovely. I'm glad you finally
:13:01. > :13:06.fell for it. Artem, you were tied fifth, fifth tied, however you say
:13:06. > :13:12.it, you went up to fourth last week, are you happy? It is a step up, so
:13:12. > :13:17.yes, I'm happy. Never satisfied enough, surely. Never. It is not
:13:17. > :13:23.going to happen. He wants more. We also saw on The One Show, that they
:13:23. > :13:26.sent you for lady training. And we wanted to know if it had actually
:13:26. > :13:36.worked. We have inspected your training footage this week to see
:13:36. > :13:43.
:13:43. > :13:53.This makes me want to v o m. I don't have lunch in my teeth do I.
:13:53. > :13:58.
:13:58. > :14:08.This b o g g e r came out of my nose. I just snoted on it. It's OK.
:14:08. > :14:13.
:14:13. > :14:21.Good morning. At a party, at home. At a party, at
:14:21. > :14:28.home. You are having a giraffe. doesn't make any sense. Cockney. I
:14:28. > :14:38.don't you don't want to go f u f f y people rainian. I'm lady, I do
:14:38. > :14:46.ladies' things! We love that so much. I'm really
:14:46. > :14:52.emparsed. Can you explain I don't want to go It was too razle dazzle.
:14:52. > :14:57.I'm going to pretend I understand. Is there anything that Artem could
:14:57. > :15:02.improve on it, with everything telling you about being ladylike?
:15:02. > :15:06.No, he's perfect in every way. No the only thing I'm better at,
:15:06. > :15:10.vaguely, is speaking English, even then I think he will be better at
:15:10. > :15:15.it than me at some point. Occasionally she corrects me.
:15:15. > :15:19.Sometimes. How does that go down? Really well, he loves it. You are
:15:19. > :15:28.going the American Smooth this week, and you are dancing to this music.
:15:28. > :15:33.So exciting. It is Swan Lake, American Smooth, Hollywood glamour,
:15:33. > :15:40.how are you bringing the Hallowe'en theme into that dance this weekend?
:15:40. > :15:46.Because we are doing the whole black swan theme. Like the movie,
:15:46. > :15:52.like Natalie Portman. Psychological thriller on the dance floor. She's
:15:52. > :15:56.the black swan and I'm the white swan. Please tell me you are in
:15:56. > :16:01.tights? He requested the tights, I thought the viewers would enjoy
:16:01. > :16:09.them. But he's not having it. can do lifts in the American Smooth,
:16:09. > :16:13.how are they going? They are really fun. At the start of the week, it
:16:13. > :16:18.was. Up she goes, down she goes, looking particularly ladylike in
:16:18. > :16:21.this shot. We're dragging it all up this week. When that happened, I
:16:21. > :16:27.begged the camera crew to lose the tape. I said this is going to be on
:16:27. > :16:32.YouTube for the rest of my life. is. And now, has he been any more
:16:32. > :16:37.scary in training this week? he's been a joy, we have had so
:16:37. > :16:43.much fun, I really love this dance. I really like the dramaticness, and
:16:43. > :16:47.the balletic stuff. You have some amazing lines. I think I might do
:16:47. > :16:51.some ballet classes after this. Look what we have done for you. You
:16:51. > :16:56.have scored 30 for the last three weeks can you break this week, can
:16:56. > :17:06.you go above the 30 mark? We shall wait and see. We're going to have a
:17:06. > :17:07.
:17:07. > :17:11.go. It is driving my O C D nuts, we have to go somewhere. Let's look at
:17:11. > :17:21.the clock. Holly you don't even flich, is there anything that
:17:21. > :17:24.
:17:24. > :17:29.scares you? Rats. Totally random, I love it. Holly and Artem.
:17:29. > :17:37.She is very strong Ozzy stock sfrpbt she. In a few moments -
:17:37. > :17:41.isn't she. In a few moments we will discuss our weekend with our panel.
:17:41. > :17:51.We have mentioned once or twice that tomorrow it is a Hallowe'en
:17:51. > :17:52.
:17:52. > :17:58.special. No expense spared, to get you into the mood of it, we have
:17:58. > :18:02.asked our couples what scares them most about Strictly. I think the
:18:02. > :18:07.biggest scare about strictly is the live show. It is the lead up that
:18:08. > :18:13.really is tough. I always get so nervous before the show, and
:18:13. > :18:21.absolutely I am petrified. You are ready to go and the voiceover says
:18:21. > :18:26."dancing the Cha Cha Cha", that split second before it goes boom,
:18:26. > :18:30.wow. It is the Saturday night show, it is all scary. It is not
:18:30. > :18:36.predictable, anything can happen. The thing that scares me most is
:18:36. > :18:42.makeing a fool of myself, letting Robin down, and not coming up with
:18:42. > :18:45.the goods. The part where Artem lifts me up and twirls me round, is
:18:45. > :18:50.fairly frightening, where I have to land neatly and have my balance.
:18:50. > :18:55.What scares me most about Strictly is Craig. When Craig gives
:18:55. > :19:03.criticism, he does it with such a straight face, and he looks so
:19:03. > :19:09.unimpressed. He just says it as if, it's like. Sexless, cold and stiff.
:19:09. > :19:14.The aim is to not appeal scared of him, even though I will probably be
:19:14. > :19:21.quakeing in my boots. What scares me most would be to go out there on
:19:21. > :19:25.Saturday night, and to hear, judges score, one. To stand there, to wait
:19:25. > :19:31.for the result is just frightening, you know that one of you is going
:19:31. > :19:41.to go, that is always very sad. What scares me about Strictly is I
:19:41. > :19:42.
:19:42. > :19:49.know one week I will be out. Clammy palms for all of them. It is now
:19:49. > :19:54.time to hear from three people, who between them, know how to conup the
:19:54. > :20:04.perfect performance, it is our Friday - conjure up the perfect
:20:04. > :20:06.
:20:06. > :20:10.performance, it is Alesha Dixon, Daniel O'Donnell and John Partridge.
:20:10. > :20:12.Welcome, welcome, you three beauties. First of all, Alesha,
:20:12. > :20:17.Hallowe'en special, last year it was fantastic, are you looking
:20:17. > :20:20.forward to it? Last year's show was incredible. It was so much better
:20:20. > :20:25.than I thought it would be. Everything about it worked. This
:20:25. > :20:30.year, what I have heard it will be better. There are amazing surprises
:20:30. > :20:33.in store. Daniel, who stood out for you in the competition so far?
:20:34. > :20:37.know there is so many, every week you think you have your favourite,
:20:37. > :20:44.and then the next week somebody else comes up. I think Jason is
:20:44. > :20:50.doing a great job, I love Russell. How can you not. He brings a smile
:20:50. > :20:55.to my face. They are all fantastic. I was sorry to see Rory go. There
:20:55. > :21:01.were tears, a lot of tears from him last week. A lot of tears. We know
:21:01. > :21:05.you are a massive fan? An uber fan. You are oozing it. How much are you
:21:05. > :21:08.the Hallowe'en props and costumes going to bring to the couples'
:21:08. > :21:12.performances? They are great, you can hide behind them, a long cape
:21:12. > :21:18.can cover up the foot workment they are a hindrance, because you have
:21:18. > :21:22.something else to think about, other than your steps. I wish they
:21:22. > :21:28.had props when they were doing it. I know, out there on your own. We
:21:28. > :21:32.are going to talk about Russell first. News just in, Russell's knee,
:21:32. > :21:36.he has hurt his knee, but it has been to see a specialist, he's fine
:21:36. > :21:41.to dance tomorrow, everybody, don't panic. He's going for a minor
:21:41. > :21:47.procedure on Sunday, no, no, no, it will all be fine. He will be right
:21:47. > :21:50.as rain for next week's show. Thank goodness. I will sleep tonight.
:21:50. > :21:58.is dance to go Kylie Minogue tonight, have a little listen.
:21:58. > :22:05.Better The Devil You Know. Come on. He is doing the samba. He really
:22:05. > :22:08.knows how to work a crowd, doesn't he. What about that shirt! The very
:22:08. > :22:14.minute you see him you smile, he just has that something, and he
:22:14. > :22:24.takes off as he knows where he's going, what he's doing, he just
:22:24. > :22:32.
:22:33. > :22:37.oozes that appeal, whatever it is that people need he has it. Can he
:22:37. > :22:44.bring it out on the samba? He can, he's just fantastic, that is what
:22:45. > :22:54.the samba is, it is a feel- good dance, he wants you to get up there
:22:55. > :22:58.
:22:58. > :23:03.with him. An neat at that and Robin dancing the Tango, dance - Antia
:23:03. > :23:09.dancing the Tango with Robin to Devil Woman? Are you a personal
:23:09. > :23:13.friend with cliff? I am, I think it is a fantastic song and she will be
:23:13. > :23:18.great. It is far from Antia's responsibility, how will she bring
:23:18. > :23:23.out that devilishness? Did you see her behind the Queen Vic, she can
:23:23. > :23:28.be devilish. From week to week, she is an actress, she adopts a
:23:28. > :23:32.character, whether hair spray, or the Waltz, she will come to it as
:23:32. > :23:36.an actress. What are you thinking of the training, any points for
:23:36. > :23:41.her? Technically I think Antia is very, very strong. The thing is, so
:23:41. > :23:45.far we have only seen the lovely side of her, come on, what we saw
:23:45. > :23:49.in EastEnders, if she can channel that spirit and put it into what
:23:49. > :23:57.she has mastered technique- wise, this could be a strong week.
:23:57. > :24:02.has improved week by week. Nancy and Anton, N a n t o n, as I like
:24:03. > :24:06.to call them. They are dancing the Rumba, the dance of love to Spooky
:24:06. > :24:12.by Dusty Springfield. There seems to be a wooden box in the
:24:12. > :24:15.background! Who is coming out, or who is ending up in it at the end.
:24:15. > :24:20.Craig says she has hidden talents are you a fan? I think she has,
:24:20. > :24:24.even last week when you saw her draped at the beginning, she make
