:00:14. > :00:22.It's Monday, coming up on tonight's show, our dancing couples hit
:00:22. > :00:27.Wembley. The Grant went out with a bang. Holly and Artem survived. And
:00:27. > :00:31.Craig Revel Horwood is here to give us his take on the biggest Strictly
:00:31. > :00:41.ever. And we'll reveal which of the male professional dancers will not
:00:41. > :01:13.
:01:13. > :01:18.be performing Saturday. Live from Television Centre, this
:01:18. > :01:24.is Strictly It Takes Two. Please welcome Zoe Ball.
:01:24. > :01:32.Hello and welcome to It Takes Two. This weekend's team Strictly went
:01:33. > :01:42.super size and took overwhelmably arena. We were spoilt rotten with a
:01:42. > :01:48.truly spectacular extaf gapbz ya. I loved it! Russell and Flavia aimed
:01:48. > :01:50.for the stars. They were sadly for the stars. They were sadly
:01:50. > :01:56.catapulted out of the competition. Another of the male prodancers will
:01:56. > :02:03.not be dancing this weekend. Joining me on the glitter phone to
:02:03. > :02:08.tell all is Robin. Robin, are you okay. What has happened? I've
:02:08. > :02:16.actually got a really bad infection in my right foot, which has caused
:02:16. > :02:23.by foot to swell up like a balance lon. - balloon. I'm unable to stand
:02:23. > :02:28.on it, or dance on it. When did it happen? I had a pain on my foot on
:02:28. > :02:33.Friday, and I thought I banged it at Wembley. It was getting worse,
:02:33. > :02:39.and starting to swell up. The adrenaline from the excitement of
:02:39. > :02:45.Wembley kept me through, and kept me with the dancing. Saturday night
:02:45. > :02:50.when I got home, it was up even more. And this morning it's worse.
:02:50. > :02:54.What have you been told by the doctors? What is the official line?
:02:54. > :03:02.Medical advice and doctor's advice is not to put weight on it, and
:03:02. > :03:08.keep it raised for at least 48 hours to let it start to calm down
:03:08. > :03:15.and the antibiotics will take a while to kick in. They are very
:03:15. > :03:23.strong and making we moor poorly. Not allowed to dance on Saturday?
:03:23. > :03:29.No. What will happen with training. The knight in shaipbg armour is
:03:29. > :03:36.Cole - Martina Cole. He is coming to your rescue. He's coming to save
:03:36. > :03:41.the day. I've spoken to him and Anita, and they will have a great
:03:41. > :03:46.week together. He has taken advice from me, and will try and put it in
:03:46. > :03:52.the job. I'm devastated it was a great weekend. I was so happy to
:03:52. > :04:01.get through, for this to happen, the biggest come-down in the world.
:04:01. > :04:09.Fingers crossed if brendon can get Anita through, you can take over!
:04:09. > :04:15.Dropping like flies! In a couple of minutes, I'll be chatting to
:04:15. > :04:23.Russell and Flavia. Here's a catch- up on the weekend. You opened the
:04:23. > :04:31.show like it was your own rock concert. Full of gusto and energy.
:04:31. > :04:37.Sharp and intense, all the wonderful things. Fantastic
:04:37. > :04:47.piroette It went wrong then. created a party atmosphere.
:04:47. > :04:47.
:04:48. > :04:54.performed it with high energy. I would have liked more hip action.
:04:54. > :05:01.Like a satellite on a orbit of madness. God, I loved it! To for me
:05:01. > :05:07.spiced up my night. Full on and full of energy. A proper Samba.
:05:07. > :05:14.think the occasion overwhelmed you and lost timing. You were otherwise
:05:14. > :05:24.up to there amazing. The couple leaving tonight is Russell and
:05:24. > :05:28.
:05:28. > :05:34.Flavia. They had an absolute blast, please welcome Russell and Flavia.
:05:34. > :05:40.Don't start me off again. What an incredible run you have had on
:05:40. > :05:46.Strictly. I'm blessed. Were you expecting it? And are you
:05:46. > :05:54.devastated? I'm not devastated. I had the most wonderful time of my
:05:54. > :06:00.life. The day before I knew I was going to go, I had an inkling. I
:06:00. > :06:09.knew you would get upset. When Bruce said "you are a star" and I
:06:10. > :06:16.had the spontaneous need to hug him. I knew he was going. In true show
:06:16. > :06:25.business fashion we left them wanting more, and left on a high.
:06:25. > :06:31.# Best of times is now # Can I thank all of our fabulous...
:06:31. > :06:36.This is one bouquet. We think you're wonderful. So thank you so
:06:36. > :06:40.much. They have been incredible your fans. Len said your
:06:40. > :06:50.performance was an iconic number that would always be remembered.
:06:50. > :06:59.Top telly gold. And star of Tinning tweeted I think Russell Grant
:06:59. > :07:07.rocket man stunt may have at last made a Strictly fan of me. I almost
:07:07. > :07:16.choked with joy. My hat almost went off. Flavia was like a ten-pin
:07:16. > :07:24.thing. A man came on to try and save her from my helmet. I saw your
:07:24. > :07:32.helmet through the back of shot. Were you scared. I wasn't. Until I
:07:32. > :07:41.saw the play back in the afternoon, and realised I was coming on a tea
:07:41. > :07:47.tray. I had no safety harness. He was just dangling. There I went out
:07:47. > :07:54.an rocket. 6,500 people a standing ovation. It was wonderful. Thank
:07:54. > :08:04.you everyone. We have decided at It Takes Two there's only one word
:08:04. > :08:05.
:08:05. > :08:15.worthy summing up the Strictly experience. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.
:08:15. > :08:17.
:08:17. > :08:25.Wow. Wow. Wow. And I went rushing off. All they will have a - is have
:08:25. > :08:33.a series of "would he, would he, would he". A good montage it would
:08:33. > :08:39.make. It did make a good montage. Producers fee in the post. A whole
:08:39. > :08:45.58p! Was it the technical side that let you down? The time ran out. We
:08:46. > :08:53.were meant to go. Everyone is working so hard. They were doing 30
:08:53. > :09:01.hours a day, no a week. It feels like it. Seeing some of my friends,
:09:01. > :09:06.they look more jaded than I do. All my lovelyly sellen friends.
:09:06. > :09:12.would you like to see win out of our buddies. I would like all of
:09:12. > :09:20.them to win, they have put the same effort. I would like make-up team
:09:20. > :09:28.and costume team to win, that is what makes the show. It is an
:09:28. > :09:38.emsemi-bell piece. Everyone is so lovely. I'll miss the came radry.
:09:38. > :09:48.And I'll miss you. Don't start me off. I want to make her cry. I want
:09:48. > :09:48.
:09:48. > :09:54.to hug her. Here of your best bits. I had one dream and one wish when I
:09:54. > :10:01.was asked to the Strictly Come Dancing, and that was to partner
:10:01. > :10:05.Flavia. Russell is a big diva. Never says "no", never complains,
:10:05. > :10:11.very enthusiastic. That was definitely the birth of something,
:10:11. > :10:20.darling. It could not be camper if you tried. Flavia and I get closer
:10:20. > :10:29.by the minute. Meant to be, in the stars... Dancing Queen you worked
:10:29. > :10:37.tonight, definitely. You put the "boy" in flamboyant. This is the
:10:37. > :10:44.fabulous number. Fabulous, wonderful, divine. Show business,
:10:44. > :10:50.ballroom, what can't Russell do. would advice a more masculine
:10:50. > :10:57.approach. I don't know what butch means really. Arrogant. You might
:10:57. > :11:03.see a slightly different side to Russell. I'm not sure about the
:11:03. > :11:09.butch. You have already become a Strictly legend. Russell is the
:11:09. > :11:16.Samba. I've always done this kind of move. This is me I am the Samba.
:11:16. > :11:22.When you came through the flame you caught your bum alight. You really
:11:22. > :11:29.started dancing. You have turned hell into a camp heaven. This one
:11:29. > :11:38.in particular is a combination of comedy and drama. What will be my
:11:38. > :11:44.main challenge, I think keeping tight buttocks. It was Benny hill's
:11:45. > :11:54.version... I'm so loving the American smooth. I want to go
:11:54. > :12:00.twirling around like a thing posed. Immortal. I was so born to do this.
:12:00. > :12:05.Dancing at Wembley is a dream come true. I'm just going to live it.
:12:05. > :12:12.I'll not miss a moment of it. Definitely the best entrance on
:12:12. > :12:20.Strictly. Revolutionary. The couple leaving tonight is Russell and
:12:20. > :12:25.Flavia. It's like my godfather. Such an unbelievable generous great
:12:25. > :12:32.man. He's like everybody's mum that looks after all the other
:12:32. > :12:37.contestants and dancers. We'll miss him next week. It has been a
:12:37. > :12:46.delight and pleasure. You're an inspiration, such a star and so
:12:46. > :12:52.talented, and I know we'll be friends forever. So much to give.
:12:52. > :13:02.There you go darling. We thought you might need those. Let it all
:13:02. > :13:08.ought. Give it up for Mamma Rose and gypsy. We love Russell Grant.
:13:08. > :13:17.We have seen... Are you all right, darling. I've never seen Flav like
:13:17. > :13:22.this. She's the best. We're back at Christmas. Give her a tissue use. I
:13:22. > :13:27.don't get another hug. We have seen what was happening in front of the
:13:27. > :13:37.stage. What was going on behind the scenes was so much more to play
:13:37. > :13:43.with. Come on Flavia join in. Please don't go. I love you.
:13:43. > :13:49.Wembley... Yay..30 in the morning. Everybody is starting to arrive. I
:13:49. > :13:57.can see everybody is nervous. petrified clearly. We'll only have
:13:57. > :14:05.a chance to do it once. Got to enjoy it. Very excited coming out.
:14:05. > :14:15.If I'm voting out tonight I go away a very happy person. This is
:14:15. > :14:25.
:14:25. > :14:35.It's just great. It's fantastic. I only got up the rocket and I'm
:14:35. > :14:35.
:14:35. > :14:43.happy. Give me some advice. It's all about you
:14:43. > :14:49.# It's all about you # Don't quit your day job! Craig
:14:49. > :14:57.will be flying. Look at the size of the wire lifting him. I've heard
:14:57. > :15:07.that only supports half a tonne. I'm a Brian May live effigy and I
:15:07. > :15:16.take off into the skies with one of Brian's own guitars which is very,
:15:16. > :15:25.very risky. Hi everybody, it's Erin. I'm got the dancer cam and I'll get
:15:25. > :15:34.you the gossip. Who is the star behind the star. Look at that!
:15:34. > :15:38.you ever see anything like it. Where did the hair come from?
:15:38. > :15:44.Paul McCartney. But I'm Flavia's sister. What hair piece. It's
:15:44. > :15:50.natural. Robin is sleeping. That's how he gets mentally prepared.
:15:50. > :16:00.close, you can hear him snoring. The crowds are insane. Massive
:16:00. > :16:06.
:16:06. > :16:14.line-up. The ladies, they are in love with me. I'm just saying hello.
:16:14. > :16:21.To all the people that never voted for me. I always vote for you. Keep
:16:21. > :16:31.dancing. You've got five minutes. I'm just practicing my hair and I
:16:31. > :16:34.
:16:34. > :16:40.can't believe I've agreed to do this. Look at all thois - those
:16:40. > :16:47.people. There's no question that's a rather large audience. We don't
:16:47. > :16:53.tell them how nervous we are. Otherwise they will freak out.
:16:53. > :17:01.seconds, ladies and gents. These couples are going to feed off the
:17:01. > :17:09.energy in that room. We have got a show to do! He has flown in all the
:17:09. > :17:14.way from Wembley, minus the wig, welcome Craig Revel Horwood! What
:17:14. > :17:22.was it like? You look gorgeous tonight, darling. Thank you. What
:17:22. > :17:31.was it like to open the show and fly through the rafters of Wembley?
:17:32. > :17:41.I enjoyed it enormously. I was jealous of Lulu doing it, going
:17:41. > :17:48.backwards. I only went slowly forward slowly. High to wear the
:17:48. > :17:54.heinous wig, but he lent me his guitar. A member of my family
:17:54. > :17:59.thought you were May! So many people deeply shocked by the
:17:59. > :18:07.departure of Russell and Flavia. Some had to have counselling. Are
:18:07. > :18:14.you shocked and surprised. thought the audience would keep him
:18:14. > :18:18.in. I couldn't keep him in. He's very dance talented, we have never
:18:19. > :18:25.had a sellen entertaining and at least put one foot in front of each
:18:25. > :18:34.other and dance in time. It's a complete and absolute joy, and I
:18:34. > :18:39.think a terrible loss. I'll miss him. The dancefloor six times
:18:39. > :18:43.larger in Wembley. Would you think the weaker couples exposed. I think
:18:43. > :18:49.it is exposing. It's really because of their nerves getting in the way.
:18:49. > :18:54.People were making foolish mistakes. That's to do with the stress and
:18:54. > :19:01.the pressure of the amount of people and dealing with the space
:19:01. > :19:07.itself. It does throw you. People were under an enormous A pressure,
:19:07. > :19:14.that's why silly little things went wrong. Let's start with Harry and
:19:14. > :19:22.Aliona, loved the lifts and the stunts. The couple were lapping up
:19:22. > :19:28.Harry. You said the hue teen had no groove. I don't mean it to be harsh.
:19:28. > :19:33.I loved the lift. He missed out hip action. I saw he could do the hip
:19:33. > :19:39.action. It was adrenaline on the night was making his back leg going
:19:39. > :19:44.out too much. He was placing it too far back to get any sort of hip
:19:44. > :19:49.action. That's from nerves. Playing it too big, rather than keeping it
:19:49. > :19:57.underneath himself and getting rotation. It was a shame, it was
:19:57. > :20:02.worth a lot more than I scored it. Jason and Kristina, how frustrating
:20:03. > :20:09.was it for you. Jason never goes wrong and look what happened.
:20:09. > :20:16.was the disaster of your mind going blank. On this occasion he tried to
:20:16. > :20:21.kick the leg he was standing on, never a good add o idea. That
:20:21. > :20:26.through him, if your weight is on the wrong leg and you try to kick
:20:26. > :20:36.it you have had it. We were sat there judging and hoping and
:20:36. > :20:37.
:20:37. > :20:43.praying we could - we could pull a ten out. Re- we really are. You're
:20:43. > :20:52.willing them. It's a terrible shame. I can't give a ten unless it's
:20:52. > :21:00.perfect. We must commend him on great recovery. Another drama. Poor
:21:00. > :21:06.Bobby can't dance this weekend with Anita. Last week, it must have been
:21:06. > :21:12.a huge relief to get through last week. She was genuinely shocked.
:21:12. > :21:18.She won a lost audience votes because of last week. That was the
:21:18. > :21:25.nail in Russell's coffin to be honest. It was a shame in that
:21:25. > :21:31.routine her footwork wasn't as accurate it could have been. Muddy
:21:31. > :21:40.and murky. She can improve it so much rather than kofg and opening.
:21:40. > :21:48.I know she can do it. When you get nervous your legs don't move. Good
:21:48. > :21:54.luck with brendon, rent a pro! have done nine series, and it's the
:21:54. > :22:04.first time it happened. I bet he's at home filing his nails. How are
:22:04. > :22:06.
:22:06. > :22:12.you doing little Bobby. He has man flu! No he has hurt himself. Alex
:22:12. > :22:19.and James going from strength to strength. I think since I told her
:22:19. > :22:24.off for the ghastly rumba, that was the turning point, and try and take
:22:24. > :22:28.the criticism on board. I don't speak personally. I speak just as
:22:28. > :22:34.the dance should be. And she's obviously listening, and obviously
:22:34. > :22:42.putting the work in. And that's commendable and paying off. She has
:22:42. > :22:49.really come a long way. If you consider her first weeks this is an
:22:49. > :22:56.achievement. I hope she feels proud of herself. Lovely Chelsee and
:22:56. > :23:03.Pasha. You were especially picky with Chelsee's hand placement
:23:03. > :23:09.That's in the middle. It should be matching Pasha's. He's is going out
:23:09. > :23:14.to the second. That I'm calling a second position. She was landing
:23:14. > :23:23.here, no-man's-land. Either whack it up here or there. Especially
:23:23. > :23:28.when they are doing the runs, it has to be a lovely long linear line.
:23:28. > :23:35.Robbie opened the show. True satisfying satisfying style. Only a
:23:35. > :23:41.five from you, what was it missing from you? It was flat-footed. It
:23:41. > :23:47.was missing the steps really. There were lots of fabulous lifts. That
:23:47. > :23:53.was a little bit of rough. thought it was a goner at that
:23:53. > :23:59.point. If you are going to do a jump in second... One does a
:23:59. > :24:06.preparation and hassle vation and whack it out with straight legs.
:24:06. > :24:13.You can't have preparation and elevation,... He landed with his
:24:13. > :24:19.body weight forward. You have to go up prepare, out and land. This
:24:19. > :24:26.weekend Swingathon. I like this, it's crippling for the couples. I
:24:26. > :24:31.adore. It's up to the judges to count them down. It's seven couples
:24:31. > :24:39.dancing at the same time like a proper competition. One by one
:24:39. > :24:44.they're selected or deselected to leave the floor. You can make it go
:24:44. > :24:51.on forever! Couple number one please leave the floor, I love it!.
:24:51. > :24:56.They get a tap on the shoulder. they get scores ranged one to seven,
:24:56. > :25:06.that's added to the other scores to create a leader board. It really
:25:06. > :25:16.has a lot of weight mind behind it. They don't really want to... I was
:25:16. > :25:17.
:25:17. > :25:22.going to swear... Please don't. Muck it up. As Russell said his
:25:22. > :25:32.final goodbyes, Holly and Artem were shaken but hopefully not
:25:32. > :25:33.
:25:33. > :25:41.stirred by their appearance in the bottom two. Naughty! Fantastic
:25:41. > :25:47.pirouette on the stairs. You're like a thoroughbred not just quite
:25:47. > :25:54.broken into... What I like is the frific use of space. Because it was
:25:54. > :25:59.so fast it did lose a bit of control. This morning you don't -
:25:59. > :26:04.didn't know who you would be dancing with. That must have been
:26:04. > :26:10.unsettling. The quickstep suits you. We got a standing ovation! We did.
:26:11. > :26:18.I'm still shaking. That was nerve- wracking, I wish we could perform
:26:18. > :26:21.to this lot every week. Please welcome Holly and Artem. Holly in
:26:22. > :26:30.the past week you have had two partners and been in the bottom two
:26:30. > :26:35.and survived an injury. You must be emotionally exhausted. The drama. I
:26:36. > :26:42.was getting maybe too comfortable. It's really quite good. When Tess
:26:42. > :26:48.read out your name and discovered you were in the bottom two, how
:26:48. > :26:53.worried were you it was taxi run. said to Russell I think - thought I
:26:53. > :27:00.would be in the bottom two. I didn't think we would go out but
:27:00. > :27:06.did think we would be in the bottom two. When did you decide it was all
:27:06. > :27:15.right to dance, going back to the dance injury. Saturday we made a
:27:15. > :27:21.final decision. Were you in pain on the dancefloor. It's sore, it's
:27:21. > :27:28.like any injury, it's not the pain like jive week but it's there.
:27:28. > :27:36.don't need to lose any more men, please! The judges loved the
:27:36. > :27:43.routine. They said you lost timing. I don't know if I lost timing. I
:27:43. > :27:49.think I eventual - only hit his knee once. I got my steps down. We
:27:49. > :27:56.were covering a lost floor. That must be hard to do, when you are
:27:56. > :28:03.training you train in small rooms. We had to stop and start for each
:28:03. > :28:08.of the four segments, which was annoying. Bruno described you as a
:28:08. > :28:15.thoroughbred that had not been broken in yet. It's great, could
:28:15. > :28:22.have been a mule. That means you're classy, and you have potential.
:28:22. > :28:31.that's what he meant, I'll run with that. I'll take that. You're now
:28:31. > :28:39.doing a new dance, a foxtrot. keep putting Oscar on the end of
