:00:11. > :00:17.It's Wednesday, coming up on tonight's show: Holly and Artem and
:00:17. > :00:23.Holly and Aliona to join us to chat cha-cha and the judges' comments
:00:23. > :00:27.and Ian Waite is here and a peak at this week's training and Nancy and
:00:27. > :00:37.Anton are here to tell me about the highs and lows of their first live
:00:37. > :01:08.
:01:08. > :01:14.performance. This is brand new Live from Television Centre, this
:01:14. > :01:20.is Strictly: It Takes Two. Please welcome your host, it's Zoe Ball.
:01:20. > :01:23.Hello, hello and welcome to It Takes Two. It is the middle of the
:01:23. > :01:26.week which means the new routines are well under way. The next live
:01:26. > :01:31.performance is looming and the excitement is building. Let's crack
:01:31. > :01:34.on. Holly and Artem were the first couple to hit the dance floor this
:01:34. > :01:39.series and they're the first guests on my sofa tonight. Here is a
:01:39. > :01:44.reminder of how they did at the weekend.
:01:44. > :01:49.A lot to work on but a lot of good, actually. Thank you. You look
:01:49. > :01:56.sensational and you have the sexiness down and you were
:01:56. > :02:06.convincing throughout. The footwork was good. The extension excellent.
:02:06. > :02:11.
:02:11. > :02:17.Our first one out. We got a 6. That's OK. Got to change that.
:02:17. > :02:24.will get that up next week with any luck. We will.
:02:24. > :02:29.Oh, at last, welcome holly and Artem. Before we go any further,
:02:29. > :02:33.Holly, can I point out your shoes. Look at those! I want them, they're
:02:33. > :02:41.amazing. They fit perfectly. How many inches is that? I think about
:02:41. > :02:45.eight. Definitely higher than a dancing shoe. I am glad I took the
:02:45. > :02:50.sticker off. The price tag. First out on a new series of Strictly.
:02:50. > :02:54.Was that an extra serving of nerves and excitement for you on Friday?
:02:54. > :02:59.It was a good thing. In hindsight I had a heart attack initially, and
:02:59. > :03:02.then I realised that the longer I left it, if I was on late or the
:03:02. > :03:06.Saturday I would have been a complete mess so I was happy to go
:03:06. > :03:11.first and enjoy the rest. Poor Jason, he had to wait until the end
:03:11. > :03:15.on Saturday night. I don't think it threw him somehow. He was still
:03:15. > :03:20.good, wasn't he? Were you disappointed in Craig giving Holly
:03:21. > :03:26.a 6 because she was very good. Actually I wasn't, it's an amazing
:03:26. > :03:31.score considering other couples. It's pretty wow. Good job. It means
:03:31. > :03:36.you have somewhere to go with Craig as well. Let's talk about the frock.
:03:36. > :03:41.What a dress, amazing. People's hearts were racing watching that,
:03:41. > :03:44.including my husband. I became a human Oscar. That's a perfect
:03:44. > :03:52.description. Did you feel confident going out in a dress like that?
:03:52. > :03:55.Bard robe -- wardrobe department is incredible, you are sewn in and
:03:55. > :03:58.feeling strong and good. You go out feeling confident and that's the
:03:58. > :04:04.last thing on your mind. It's different when you need to go to
:04:04. > :04:08.the loo. Then you need a friend. You need someone to unzip. Artem,
:04:08. > :04:13.you were champion last year but a task-master in the training room.
:04:13. > :04:20.It's a fair comment. Please tell me you have footage! We have noticed
:04:20. > :04:30.that there is a scary side of you making a comeback. Ha-ha! You are
:04:30. > :04:35.
:04:35. > :04:42.I'll be back. I decided my goal for this series
:04:42. > :04:52.was to never bring up the Terminater in me. One more time.
:04:52. > :04:54.
:04:54. > :05:02.But he just jump out of me and I Straight knees. That one didn't
:05:02. > :05:12.count. One more time. I have heard about the Terminater. Keep it on
:05:12. > :05:12.
:05:12. > :05:16.the ground! No, no, and no. Put your heel out. It's quite hard to
:05:16. > :05:25.handle him. I am going to lose it. He is part of me. I am going to
:05:25. > :05:28.lose it. Scary when he comes out. don't think this position is part
:05:28. > :05:34.of the dance. You should incorporate it.
:05:34. > :05:38.Oh! I am I am quaking in my reasonably priced shoes just at the
:05:38. > :05:43.sight. Is he scary like that? know what, I just go really quiet
:05:43. > :05:48.and try and get through it. He is actually such a sweet man and then
:05:48. > :05:52.when he gets on a little mission, like yesterday, then I keep my
:05:52. > :05:58.mouth closed and try and get on and do as I am told because he is as
:05:58. > :06:03.frustrated as I am, I am as frustrated as he is. Is she a good
:06:03. > :06:10.pupil, are you pleased with her and how is the salsa coming on? I am
:06:10. > :06:15.amazed she hasn't walked out of rehearsal yet. We all are! How is
:06:15. > :06:20.the salsa? It's good, getting there. What do you think? It's fun. It's
:06:20. > :06:24.less technical for me than the cha- cha. It's more relaxed on the knees.
:06:24. > :06:28.It's more groovy and hippie and I can get into it without feeling
:06:28. > :06:33.alien. The judges want more confidence from you and Karen Hardy
:06:33. > :06:39.said yesterday Holly, eyes up, that was her tip. I do look down a lot
:06:39. > :06:47.and he is always checking after we get off stage "was she looking
:06:47. > :06:51.down"? He's back, the Terminater! Good luck, Holly and Artem. So by
:06:51. > :06:55.now we should all know our professional dancer intimately,
:06:55. > :06:59.right? Could you identify them from their dance moves alone? Just for
:06:59. > :07:09.fun see if you can work out which one of our Strictly pros is
:07:09. > :07:20.
:07:20. > :07:26.monkeying around. This is Dancers # I can feel it coming in the air
:07:26. > :07:32.tonight # I've been waiting for this
:07:32. > :07:36.moment... Who is the Dancer in Disguise? Find out later in the
:07:37. > :07:41.show. Oh, yeah, who was that? Stay tuned
:07:41. > :07:45.and we will reveal all later. Now down to much more serious business.
:07:45. > :07:51.He was my dance partner and he's become my great friend and now he
:07:51. > :08:00.is joining me by popular demand as It Takes Two's dance expert. He is
:08:00. > :08:07.a man always worth the wait. With his Wednesday Warm Up, it's Mr
:08:07. > :08:11.Waite. Oh, darling! Let me be back in your
:08:11. > :08:15.arms. It's really lovely to see you again, Blondie. You are going to be
:08:15. > :08:20.here talking about the couples' training mid-week, and have a check
:08:20. > :08:26.on that. Before we do that, Zoe, I want to take a trip down memory
:08:26. > :08:35.lane and remind the viewers of how... Must we go back? Look at
:08:35. > :08:45.this. Will Zoe Ball please take to the floor. Drop dead gorgeous!
:08:45. > :08:53.
:08:53. > :08:57.Love, sex, passion, what more do you want?!
:08:57. > :09:02.Oh, we were so young before it all started to slide. I know, those
:09:02. > :09:07.were the days. Vintage years. Enough of our exploits. Let's talk
:09:07. > :09:10.about the couples. It's mid-week they have one dance to learn in one
:09:10. > :09:14.week. Let's start with with Lulu and Brendan. They didn't have the
:09:14. > :09:19.greatest weekend with the cha-cha. No, they didn't and they have a bit
:09:19. > :09:22.of a a height difference but Lulu is doing brilliantly well. Heel
:09:22. > :09:32.turns I want to talk about and that's why I have highlighted her
:09:32. > :09:36.
:09:36. > :09:40.Lulu did a bad heel turn at the beginning of this dance, but here
:09:40. > :09:44.she's doing a perfect heel turn. This is where she puts her heels
:09:44. > :09:49.together with her toes in the air and turns on her heels and on to
:09:49. > :09:54.the toes. Absolutely perfect. Lulu. I am loving the machinery, by
:09:54. > :09:59.the way. I have had a bit of practice. Let's not speak too soon.
:09:59. > :10:03.Let's look at Robbie and Ola. I am excited about seeing Robbie in
:10:03. > :10:07.tails. I hope Robbie doesn't lose heart with Craig's comments last
:10:07. > :10:12.week. I hope he keeps his confidence high because he could be
:10:12. > :10:16.really good. His foxtrot technique is excellent. That's only on Monday.
:10:16. > :10:22.Here the only thing I have a concern about is he is dropping his
:10:22. > :10:26.arms back behind his back. I would like him to see more of a T-shape
:10:26. > :10:33.through the body and he drops his arms behind that shape and I would
:10:33. > :10:38.like to keep the arms up. Taking notes, Robbie? Apart from that his
:10:38. > :10:44.footwork is impeccable. Let's look at Edwina and Vincent. She had a
:10:44. > :10:47.cheeky cha-cha last week. She's really loving it. You can see it
:10:47. > :10:53.through her face. She keeps eye contact with Vincent all the way
:10:53. > :10:59.through this. How could you not? you can see. She's looking at him
:10:59. > :11:05.in the eyes and he is looking at her. He is looking at her barnet.
:11:05. > :11:08.It's beautiful. Vincent's done that purposefully because it keeps her
:11:08. > :11:12.focus. She keeps her head up by looking at him. It stops her
:11:12. > :11:17.looking down. It's a very good thing to do in early stages of a
:11:17. > :11:21.partnership. Very, very good. a romantic dance the foxtrot, if I
:11:21. > :11:27.remember rightly. This is all lyrical at the beginning, telling a
:11:27. > :11:30.story. Alex and James. I was a little bit disappointed with her
:11:31. > :11:34.last week. Really? She has a fabulous body but she was a bit
:11:34. > :11:39.stiff. That's what the judges said. In the foxtrot she looks more at
:11:39. > :11:44.home, more relaxed. The only thing I have a concern about is if I show
:11:44. > :11:50.you here she's actually got her left shoulder far too far forward.
:11:50. > :11:56.She looks cramped. How should the hold be? Any excuse to get back in
:11:56. > :12:01.his arms! Right foot. I am standing there, if she can get that shoulder
:12:01. > :12:05.back and she will have more room for that hand. Where is this hand?
:12:06. > :12:13.Shoulder back and more room for that hand. See, I am happy now.
:12:13. > :12:16.That's all I wanted. I can't do the rest. You look gorgeous. You do
:12:16. > :12:22.strike reu and -- Strictly and your partner leaves and you can't do any
:12:22. > :12:26.of it. Weddings are an embarrassment. Jason and Kristina.
:12:26. > :12:32.The golden boy on Saturday. Kristina has been berating Jason
:12:32. > :12:38.about his neck. She has had him in a a -- braise and everything. --
:12:38. > :12:41.brace and everything. He has a gorgeous long neck now. Also his
:12:41. > :12:46.quality of movement, he is going to have another great week this week.
:12:46. > :12:51.His quality of movement, he strides across the floor as you can see
:12:51. > :12:57.there. Lovely big strides creating space. Beautiful. Looks amazing.
:12:57. > :13:02.am impressed with your machinery. Ian Waite! We will cover the salsas
:13:02. > :13:07.in a little bit. In a minute I will be talking to Nancy and Anton about
:13:07. > :13:13.their unexpected contime drama on - - costume drama on Saturday. Let's
:13:13. > :13:19.have a recap. A word of advice, darling, forget props altogether.
:13:19. > :13:26.It was too long messing abouten the set -- about on the settee thing
:13:26. > :13:31.but the bit of dancing is good. are the glamour puss of Strictly
:13:31. > :13:41.this year. I am sure you will be back doing better. It all went
:13:41. > :13:42.
:13:42. > :13:52.him. We never got a chance to do the dance, if we had it would have
:13:52. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :14:00.I think an extra huge cheer for Nancy and Anton! APPLAUSE AND
:14:00. > :14:03.CHEERING. Thank you. Nancy, lovely to have you here. Lovely to be here.
:14:03. > :14:09.Wardrobe malfunctions, they're part and parcel of Strictly. Would you
:14:09. > :14:15.like this removed? We will have it burnt. They're dangerous. You want
:14:15. > :14:18.to keep it? Is that wise? What happened on Saturday, Nancy? What
:14:19. > :14:25.happened, do you remember? I don't remember what happened. Saturday,
:14:25. > :14:31.what's that! Well, it was not supposed to come with me afterwards,
:14:31. > :14:38.it was supposed to stay and then, of course, it's a live show.
:14:38. > :14:44.followed you. Yes, it was between me and Anton in one way. Already.
:14:44. > :14:49.Already, yeah, it's unpredictable, like live, that happens. So, yeah,
:14:49. > :14:54.disappointing. What can you do? Anton, when did you realise it was
:14:54. > :15:02.all going a bit wrong? Thursday before. I thought this is not going
:15:02. > :15:07.how I would like. It was fantastic in rehearsal. A shame you weren't
:15:07. > :15:11.there for that, it was remarkable. We should talk about that. It Takes
:15:11. > :15:15.Two, as you know, we always have our ears to the ground and this was
:15:15. > :15:19.no exception. We had our ears close to the ground and this is genius,
:15:19. > :15:22.this is why Anton is such a pro. When it all started to go wrong he
:15:22. > :15:32.supported Nancy all the way. He got her through the dance. Look and a
:15:32. > :15:43.
:15:43. > :15:53.Keep going, keep going. Good, it's going well.
:15:53. > :16:07.
:16:07. > :16:16.APPLAUSE AND CHEERING. It was so funny. We have been crying with
:16:16. > :16:20.laughter. It's when you said "Anton, what are you doing"? Dancing. He
:16:20. > :16:24.was your knight in shining armour? Yes is the answer to that question.
:16:24. > :16:29.Of course, yes. Were you disappointed with the scores? It's
:16:29. > :16:33.the first time Craig has awarded a one for a waltz. It was
:16:33. > :16:36.disappointing, to be honest I couldn't have cared less really. I
:16:36. > :16:41.was disappointed we never got a chance to show the dance because it
:16:41. > :16:44.was lovely. Nancy had been dancing it really well in rehearsal and
:16:44. > :16:51.sweeping across the floor and the musicality actually was rather good
:16:51. > :16:54.so I was looking forward to doing it. The boa, the feather boa
:16:55. > :17:00.constrictor messed it all up a bit and once you go off, it's difficult
:17:00. > :17:03.to get back on. Especially on the first week. But there you are. I
:17:03. > :17:07.thought you did well not to completely fall apart. You did well
:17:07. > :17:17.to pick it up, you got going, I thought you looked lovely by the
:17:17. > :17:21.way. That's important. Len said you had potential. That's encouraged.
:17:21. > :17:25.Dismissive there as she was, but encouraged. First of all, I am not
:17:25. > :17:30.here to show that I am the best dancer, probably I won't be.
:17:30. > :17:34.not, I think you are. Definitely it's fantastic, probably was great
:17:34. > :17:40.television. It was great telly, we all agreed. That for me was more
:17:40. > :17:44.important than probably for Anton. Disappointed because we could have
:17:44. > :17:51.really danced away we wanted to and I loved the choreography. It was
:17:51. > :17:57.very good. It was great choreography. Let's leave it behind.
:17:57. > :18:03.At the beginning, it was really... Good luck with trying to stop.
:18:03. > :18:09.I speak? Salsa this week. A lot of Latin passions. Nancy is going to
:18:09. > :18:17.be good at this? A beauty. Go on, girl. Look at that, a natural.
:18:17. > :18:22.I point out the shoes, how high are your heels there? They're seriously
:18:22. > :18:26.high to be doing that. They're not high, what are you talking about?
:18:27. > :18:30.Definitely after Strictly I am going to design new shoes dancing
:18:30. > :18:34.because it's only thing that's completely unglamorous are the
:18:34. > :18:39.shoes. I was showing to you today that a little bit higher,
:18:39. > :18:44.especially for salsa, immediately you are more glamorous, the posture
:18:44. > :18:49.is right. I have no balance with no high heels. I tell you, I am not
:18:49. > :18:53.alone in saying that we can not wait for your scorching salsa at
:18:53. > :18:57.the weekend. It's going to be incredible, heels and all. Good
:18:57. > :19:01.luck to both of you. Nancy and Anton.
:19:01. > :19:05.APPLAUSE. She's gorgeous. On Monday we
:19:05. > :19:09.launched our brand new phoneline and asked you to call in with your
:19:10. > :19:18.thoughts and opinions on all things Strictly. As if by magic, you did.
:19:18. > :19:23.We love you. It's Points of You. I thought Anton should have stopped
:19:23. > :19:28.and asked the judges for a rerun on that. It was the dress and the
:19:28. > :19:33.costume that that interfered with the dance and it wasn't the
:19:33. > :19:38.dancers' fault. Thank you, bye. just want to say I really liked
:19:38. > :19:43.Brendan's new hairstyle on Saturday. Thank you. I think Holly should
:19:43. > :19:48.have got eight all across the board because she is amazing. Love you,
:19:48. > :19:57.Zoe. Bye. I want to know did anybody else see Brendan Cole
:19:57. > :20:03.falling down the stairs on Saturday night?
:20:03. > :20:09.Karen, we absolutely adore you for spotting Brendan falling and
:20:09. > :20:19.putting his hand on his chin. Amazing. Our phone lines are open
:20:19. > :20:21.
:20:21. > :20:28.24/7 for all your comments. Call us any time.
:20:28. > :20:32.Now it's time for another catch-up with Ian. We are going to do Latin
:20:32. > :20:42.now. We are going to do the salsa this weekend for our couples. Let's
:20:42. > :20:58.
:20:58. > :21:02.he is lovely, tall like me, 6'4". He is using it to his ability here.
:21:02. > :21:06.We are a allowing lifts here. like a good lift. That's going to
:21:06. > :21:15.use his height and everything else. He looks like a strong boy. He is
:21:15. > :21:20.going to be good in that dance. Chelsee and Pasha, she wowed the
:21:21. > :21:26.judges this weekend. Stop it there. Snaky hips. Exactly. Now she's
:21:26. > :21:32.using her body and mirroring Pasha perfectly. Here he has a nice S-
:21:32. > :21:34.shape and she has exactly the same. She's using her hips and arms in
:21:34. > :21:40.co-ordination, which is fantastic. That was only Sunday's training so
:21:40. > :21:46.that was her first day of salsa. Good stuff. Audley and Natalie.
:21:46. > :21:51.I was very shocked with Audley last Friday. Good shocked, bad shocked?
:21:51. > :21:56.He did brilliantly. With this salsa, he can move his body a lot more.
:21:56. > :22:01.More movement in the body and feet. I would like to stop it there.
:22:01. > :22:06.has huge feet. His shoes are that big. That's no excuse, darling. He
:22:06. > :22:13.needs to use his feet more. If he has more feet to use then it's an
:22:13. > :22:22.advantage, surely. When you say use them more... Actually be more on
:22:23. > :22:28.the balls of his feet. Use the balls more. And Anita and Robin.
:22:28. > :22:34.She's having the time of her life, isn't she? She looks like Olivia
:22:34. > :22:39.Newton John. Stop it here and show you the hips, basically. That's my
:22:39. > :22:43.main concern. In salsa it's very fluid and there's a lot of movement.
:22:43. > :22:47.Hip usage. I would like to see her releasing into the hips. She's
:22:47. > :22:52.going to thank you for drawing a circle around her bottom, as any
:22:52. > :22:56.woman would! Release the hip, show us the releasing of hip, please.
:22:56. > :23:02.Well, you are actually releasing into the hip like that. OK. I still
:23:02. > :23:08.don't think that was close enough. Rory and Erin, he is on the show on
:23:08. > :23:14.Friday. You know I said about fluidity and rhythm in salsa, this
:23:14. > :23:19.needs to be more fluid. It's jerky for me. Here he is going to do some
:23:19. > :23:22.- he is doing the salsa forward and side. Now, if I do this. Circle
:23:23. > :23:29.around the hips again. He needs to co-ordinate his arms with his hips.
:23:29. > :23:34.You are going to show us now. The jacket is coming off! He needs to
:23:34. > :23:39.do... And then the side. That's what we want, Rory. Figure eight
:23:39. > :23:46.like that, get in there. That's why we love Ian Waite. I have missed
:23:46. > :23:53.him! Fantastic. A glimpse at Russell and Flavia. I love Russell.
:23:53. > :23:56.He is flamboyant and exuberant like myself. He is doing more steps. And
:23:57. > :24:03.he can dance, so why not. He is fantastic. Will you come back next
:24:03. > :24:07.week? Yes, I sure will. I can't wait. Isn't he gorgeous? Ian Waite!
:24:07. > :24:10.Have you managed at home to guess who our dancer in disguise is and
:24:10. > :24:15.what they were dancing? I reckon it's Anton because he is quite
:24:15. > :24:24.hairy. I have never seen, thank goodness. It's the big reveal. We
:24:24. > :24:30.It's James Jordan. You should have recognised him doing the rumba, of
:24:30. > :24:39.course, he loves the rumba. Have you got it right at home? In a
:24:39. > :24:44.moment I will be joined by Harry and Aliona who impressed all the
:24:44. > :24:53.judges with a confident debut. was thinking Dirty Harry, make my
:24:53. > :25:01.day, punk! For me it was too placed, too clean, too straight. As debuts
:25:01. > :25:09.goes this was very confident. It was a very fit, tight, muscular,
:25:09. > :25:14.masculine performance, full of confidence and and spunk. I enjoyed
:25:14. > :25:19.it. I have never been described as Dirty Harry before. I am sure you
:25:19. > :25:25.have, come on! The first one is out of the way and we can get down to
:25:25. > :25:29.hard work. Please welcome Harry and Aliona.
:25:29. > :25:32.You must be so chuffed with how it went on Saturday? I was pleased,
:25:32. > :25:36.yeah, really pleased. What I was most pleased about was I enjoyed
:25:36. > :25:41.myself. Because I was worried that I would be so nervous that I
:25:41. > :25:44.wouldn't enjoy it. But we had fun. You did and Danny and Tom were
:25:44. > :25:48.there in the front row, did that give you support or make you more
:25:48. > :25:52.nervous having your friend right there? Tom rung me that morning and
:25:53. > :25:57.said we are planning on coming but do you want us there? To be honest
:25:57. > :26:02.it really helped because whilst the VT was playing I saw them and they
:26:02. > :26:08.looked at me and went come on, mate, so I thought I am going to go for
:26:08. > :26:13.it and it spurred me on. You did go for it. Mixed judges' comments. Do
:26:13. > :26:19.you agree with Craig when he said that Harry needs to loosen up his
:26:19. > :26:25.hips a little bit, is that a fair comment? In general, I listen to
:26:25. > :26:29.the comments and I respect them, but I don't take them on board.
:26:29. > :26:35.Karen mentioned it yesterday as well. I do! Well done, Harry. Good
:26:35. > :26:38.move. Craig, if you are listening. Bless you. We might have spotted
:26:38. > :26:43.why you are having trouble with the hip movements at the moment, not
:26:43. > :26:48.necessarily trouble, but we reckon we know why you are not that
:26:48. > :26:55.comfortable. I have had concerns that I look slightly feminine.
:26:55. > :27:02.Women hips. I am going to work on that, you know. Go home tonight,
:27:02. > :27:12.watch Rambo1, 2 and 3, and see how he shakes his hips.
:27:12. > :27:22.I think Harry is a very butch guy. I don't see why he might think that
:27:22. > :27:22.
:27:22. > :27:26.he might look like a girl. I am so butch! I will do my hip wiggling
:27:26. > :27:30.for the guys. If I can do it in front of them I should be able to
:27:30. > :27:39.do it in front of anyone. I will make them have a go, as well. See
:27:39. > :27:44.if any of them are as feminine as I want to see the whole band now,
:27:44. > :27:49.all of you. We have a few seconds left. Straight back into training
:27:49. > :27:55.on Sunday morning. Good pupil. How is the foxtrot going? You have
:27:55. > :27:58.given it a new name. I don't know why it's a foxtrot, not that I am
:27:58. > :28:05.fluid and graceful, but it's a graceful thing and we are doing
:28:05. > :28:09.this thing with our arms and I made it more look like a swantrot would
:28:09. > :28:14.skaoeub it -- describe it better. Are you enjoying it? I am, it's a
:28:14. > :28:22.great experience. Can you keep up the same standard this week?
:28:22. > :28:26.wants to top last week, so yeah. We are trying. We cannot wait to see
:28:26. > :28:31.you swantroting. Thank you for coming in. That's all we have time
:28:31. > :28:36.for. A big thank you to all our guests. Tune in tomorrow at 6.30pm
:28:36. > :28:41.when I will be chatting to Jason and Kristina, Russell and Flavia,
:28:41. > :28:45.Edwina and Vincent and getting a preview of what the couples will be
:28:45. > :28:51.wearing this weekend and if you are a superfan don't forget to look out
