00:30Welcome back to Strictly Come Dancing.

00:32The mood has changed in the ballroom as it's time for the results.

00:36For our 13 remaining couples, another dance-off is looming,

00:40and by the end of the night, one more will be gone.

00:44We'll find out who's done enough to secure your vote,

00:46and who's at risk of losing their place in the competition.

00:50As well as that, there will be music from the brilliant Snow Patrol,

00:54and our professionals dance to a Taylor Swift classic.

00:57First, here's a reminder of how it all played out on Saturday night.

01:00.

01:04.

01:24.

01:25.

01:26.

01:31.

01:32Big week this week. A mix of scores, performances, but everyone's just smashing it, aren't they?

01:38The leaderboard is tight. It's pretty much anyone's game at the minute.

01:42So that's been amazing, and you were amazing.

01:44Yeah, nice home, Carla. Well done.

01:47All of the partnerships are really strong, which is great because I think it elevates us all.

01:52It's given 100% of whatever your ability is, and that's what we've done on it.

01:56100%.

01:56And you want me to get that off?

01:59I don't know what.

01:59Top of the leaderboard, we have Tasha and Alyos. Fantastic.

02:07I thought it worked brilliantly.

02:09And how fabulous were those swivels?

02:12I'm not sure she'll do a dance better than that for the whole series.

02:16Now it's just been an absolute dream.

02:19Probably. Probably.

02:23Can't believe I got 39. Honestly, I was not expecting it at all.

02:28My mind is just blind.

02:33Jamie brought lots of energy.

02:35He was the surprise of the night for me.

02:37Tonight he proved that he can do it.

02:39Yeah.

02:39I'm absolutely over the moon.

02:41I'm knackered, but buzzed.

02:43I'm so happy.

02:45Win, win, win.

02:45I love win.

02:48Every time he comes out, his character steals it.

02:51Absolutely.

02:53Who was that on the dance floor?

02:55It's like something that took over your entire body.

02:58Couldn't believe it.

03:00The dance went better than it could have.

03:02It went like clockwork for me, really, and I was absolutely thrilled.

03:05And there's quite a chunk in the middle of the leaderboard and that were all similar scores.

03:15Somebody will look back and go, oh, that was quite a good score.

03:18And then look at the leaderboard and go, oh, I'm not too far away from the bottom.

03:23Sarah and Vito, a little drop for them this week.

03:26Still a good number, but we'll have to keep improving.

03:28I think that was the lowest score we've got, but I loved that the most.

03:32And I felt really emotional doing it.

03:34It felt really special for me.

03:36At the other end of the leaderboard, we've got Nick and Lou, but there were our mistakes.

03:40They are in a dangerous spot.

03:42I tripped over my own feet and there wasn't as much swivel as I'd like, so Craig was right.

03:46But apart from that, it went great.

03:48Pondamon Gorka unfortunately landed at the bottom.

03:51It must be a shock for her.

03:54I made quite a few mistakes in my dance today.

03:57And I don't know why it happened.

03:59I don't know if it was just the nerves and the pressure that got to me.

04:02Who knows who's going to go home?

04:04I wouldn't like to predict that.

04:06It's dangerous for absolutely everybody.

04:09The competition's getting serious now.

04:11There is nowhere to hide, darling.

04:15We must be strong

04:18I would love to still be here another week, but you just don't know.

04:21It's only just begun

04:24No, I don't want to leave.

04:27No, my heart is really in this.

04:29I'll give it everything.

04:31If I do go out, I've danced my dance.

04:35I don't know if I've done enough to go through.

04:37I don't think anyone's safe.

04:39Every week you have to prepare yourself to be in the dance-off.

04:43You just have to keep trying.

04:45I really hope that we've done enough.

04:47You've got to just pray that people at home are voting for you.

04:51I want to see in the competition so badly.

04:54I want to keep dancing.

04:55I want to spend more time with Di doing this.

04:57I don't want to go home.

04:59I love being here.

05:01So it's up to the people at home.

05:02The sequence have now settled on Saturday night and it's time to get serious.

05:2313 couples remain, but only 11 have a guaranteed place in next week's show.

08:03The rest of you will have to wait until later to find out if you are safe.

08:08Shane and Nancy, please come down and join me!

08:10Oh yeah!

08:11I'm good!

08:12No, no, I'm good!

08:13I'm good!

08:14I'm good!

08:15I'm good!

08:16I'm good!

08:17Shane!

08:18I'm so surprised to see you here!

08:20How are you feeling?

08:21I feel good!

08:22I feel good!

08:23I mean, that's the thing about this show.

08:25No one is truly safe.

08:26Sorry, no one is truly safe.

08:28But what will be, will be.

08:30And I've had the most amazing time so far, so...

08:32Don't prepare your goodbye speech just yet.

08:34It's not time.

08:35Let's chat to the judges.

08:37Anton, all of the judges spoke about Shane's improvement in the Latin on Saturday night.

08:43So, what more can he do for you now in the dance-off?

08:46Well, you know, when I was in your position and with my partner, we're about to do the dance-off,

08:51if I knew it was a good dance, I was okay with it.

08:55I was like, all right, bring it on.

08:57This is a strong dance and I got marked very, very well with it.

09:00So, think about it like that.

09:01It's a great dance.

09:02You're high up the leaderboard.

09:04You performed it well.

09:06You'll be disappointed.

09:08Brush that aside and go out and dance the way you did on Saturday night.

09:11I think you'll be fine.

09:12Thank you very much.

09:13OK, you're still in this.

09:15It's far from over.

09:17Just take a moment and pose yourselves and we'll see you in the dance-off, OK?

09:20Absolutely.

09:22Let's check it upstairs with applause.

09:23Thank you, Tess.

09:24Everyone's over the moon.

09:26A little bit shocked.

09:28Nobody's more shocked that they're through, though, than Paul and Karen.

09:32When Tess said your names, it felt to me like you were thinking,

09:36who are Paul and Karen?

09:37Is that what happened?

09:38Honestly, honestly, I was sitting there, I was like,

09:40who's Paul and Karen?

09:41Honestly, I was, honestly, I'm not lying.

09:45I was in shock.

09:46I was in shock.

09:47So, I want to say this to you, Paul, on a serious note.

09:49You were in the dance-off last week.

09:51People picked up the phone.

09:52What would you like to say to the people who voted for you?

09:54Thank you very much for voting for us.

09:56I really appreciate it.

09:59Karen, as a pro, the judges on Saturday night,

10:04they said they saw real improvement.

10:06The people at home believe in you, too.

10:08That's all you could wish for.

10:10It means a lot.

10:11It means a lot because, you know, this guy's putting a lot of work in

10:14and I'm just, I'm really proud of you.

10:16I really, really am.

10:18Well done.

10:19Montel, let me ask you, you've got Couples' Choice next week.

10:21Give us a taste.

10:22Yes, a taste.

10:23So, we're really excited about Couples' Choice

10:25because we're actually going to leave Mojo, I think, behind.

10:28We're going to bring Montel, Johannes, and we are going back to our roots.

10:31And we're going to bring a party.

10:33No.

10:34We are.

10:35So, we are bringing it back home and that's all I'm going to leave.

10:37OK.

10:38I can't wait.

10:39That's very tempting.

10:40Dojo, Couples' Choice, there are no rules.

10:43Are you excited?

10:44How do you go about it?

10:45Oh, you go to town, Claudia, and that's what we're going to do

10:49on that dance floor.

10:50No, no technique, just absolute dancing.

10:54Don't worry.

10:55I love that.

10:56Jamie, what's the reaction been like from your family?

10:59Oh, just, they still can't believe I'm here, really.

11:02But they absolutely love Strictly and they've been such huge fans of the show over the years,

11:06so they can't believe I'm here, shaking hips, dresses Elton John, club repping,

11:10and it's madness, but they're loving it.

11:13Must be nice for them to get to see you on the telly without having to watch EastEnders.

11:16Yes.

11:17LAUGHTER

11:18Nice and good to see you, Harry.

11:19APPLAUSE

11:20I've got some extraordinary news, and I'm very pleased you're sitting down for this.

11:21Next week, you are dancing slow.

11:22I know.

11:23How happy are you?

11:24I know.

11:25This last two weeks, I'd like to say it's been full-out dancing, but the jive and then the

11:40salsa, I have spent way more time lying on the floor trying to breathe...

11:43Yeah.

11:44..than I have actually dancing.

11:46The recovery after, like, running it through, so, yeah, nice slow one next week.

11:50Yeah.

11:51It'll be lovely.

11:52Back in hold, in ballroom.

11:54Yeah.

11:55I believe you've been cleansing the training rooms.

11:57Tell me what.

11:58Yes.

11:59When I come in and Chris, I go, how you feeling?

12:01Chris, he goes, uh...

12:02So, I take that as not very good, so I get out the stick and I cleanse the room

12:08and it works for about an hour, you feel good, and then you're back to, uh...

12:11She likes a stinky stick and the whole room stinks.

12:15But it works!

12:16She says all the negative energy is left, but I think everything else is left as well.

12:20LAUGHTER

12:21Wynn, how do you feel getting through?

12:24Because you look shocked every week.

12:25I am shocked, you know.

12:27I didn't think I'd survive week one, so, uh, to still be here, after having done a tango,

12:32is really thrilling and it was such fun.

12:35I had such a good time.

12:36And thank you to Katia's clever choreography, you know.

12:39APPLAUSE

12:41Um, Tasha, on Tuesday night, it was an emotional night for you

12:46when you got those scores and I was looking at your face.

12:49I almost went.

12:50Tell me what it meant to you.

12:51I think it was cos having my mum and nan in the audience.

12:53Yeah.

12:54You know, I think, especially with my nan, she was at my best band,

12:57and I'm gonna get emotional again, but...

12:59I just went out there and had the best time.

13:01But, you know, having nan and mum there was special,

13:03because, you know, it's the first time as well coming,

13:06so it really was a special moment.

13:08Aliash, please reveal what dance you're doing next week and to what?

13:13L-l-l-l...

13:14No, I'm just...

13:15LAUGHTER

13:17We're gonna be doing a tango two...

13:26Such a song!

13:32Clories and the Machine.

13:35It's one of my favourite artists to perform two.

13:37Beautiful singing, beautiful instrumental, incredible steps...

13:39Even better execution.

13:40It's going to be wonderful.

13:41Congratulations.

13:42We will see you all next week.

13:45And if you're enjoying all the fun with our couple for one more, then you can find it on our socials. Have a good one.

14:12What are you doing there?

14:15How do I do that?

14:20Help! Help!

14:25Every Sunday, our professionals treat us to a brand-new group performance, and this week is no exception.

14:32With a beautiful love story that takes us back in time, please welcome our wonderful professional dancers!

18:25Thank you very much.

18:29Thank you, much to our professional dancers and choreographer Mandy Moore.

18:33Now I don't know about you but my favourite shape is a semi-circle.

18:38Let's make one. It's the judges

18:50Coming to this arena moxie first up Shane and Nancy dance on pardon hard

18:57I mean what is going on?

18:58But the people have spoken and we need to accept it quite a big surprise for us all for

19:04Absolutely and the speed especially being uniform from the leaderboard. It's quite extraordinary how much power the people at home

19:12Actually have and they often think people are safe, right? Yeah. Yeah, they're like we don't need to worry about them

19:17Yeah, and he had a great dance

19:19I mean, you know if it was if something had happened that we would say oh what's going on?

19:23But he was positive performance was there lovely step. So let's see what happens now

19:28I'm sorry all

19:30Montel and Jojo wanted which made me how they just didn't want you to demonstrate to them

19:38Well, because they wanted to get the frame right not because they don't love you

19:41But they didn't want there to be any pointers you adored their dance on saturday night

19:46Yeah, it was good wasn't it last week

19:49There's a lot of tension through the shoulders and the shoulders started to come up towards the end of the dance this week

19:54Not yeah, lovely lines through shoulders beautiful space the movement across the floor was

20:01Really good. She strides. Well, yeah, it was smooth. It was a really really beautifully done dance. Okay. Thank you very much

20:09great

20:10Jamie and Michelle you didn't see a figure of eight

20:14Your fellow judges they saw the figure of eight. What do you mean? Do you want him to hold up?

20:19Do you want to demonstrate a figure of eight? Well, I will, darling. Of course, it was on the forward and back basis if you want to learn

20:29I'll have your eyeballs out, darling

20:36You don't always have to

20:41How was that for you, Shirley?

20:43It was a great dance. It was a fantastic dance. I loved how he brought his energy up. Yeah, I loved how he invested himself in this dance

21:01I actually loved the fact that he was footloose and fancy free in it, you know

21:06And I felt like he's been holding back until this moment. So for me, it was a really great leap. Yeah, sure

21:14Shirley, I'm interested in what you said about Chris and about the lifts. Can you expand on that?

21:19Well, it's about if Anton and I were just about to do a lift and he had to take me and press me above his head

21:24Go on, let's hear that face

21:26Let's do that

21:28I think I'd love to see you now

21:29He would focus

21:30Are you paying attention?

21:31Oh, yeah

21:32He would focus on me and I would focus on him

21:36We would breathe. We would decide the amount of steps going forward. We would both go into our legs

21:41It's difficult when you can actually see what you're doing and of course Chris did it exceptionally well

21:48I mean, it didn't give you an uneasy feeling. We sat there. We were astonished. His lifts were absolutely off the chart

21:54In fact, he did two one after the other, you know, he was able to walk. He was able to roll

21:59He put her on her feet then he flicked her over. I mean, you know, it's exceptionally difficult work. Thank you so much

22:06Let's hear it for the judges

22:11It's time now for some more results

22:15It has been a nerve-racking wait for our six remaining couples who will join shane and nancy in tonight's dance-off. It's time to find out

22:24Oh

22:29In no particular order returning to the ballroom are

22:37JB and Amy

22:51Safe to dance again next Saturday are

22:54Pete and your Vita

22:59Pete and your Vita

23:12Securing their place are

23:14Sam and Nikita

23:23Sam and Nikita

23:24Oh, who's that?

23:25I'm sorry

23:26I didn't know that all of us

23:29I did a lot of us

23:30I didn't know that all of us

23:31I believe

23:32I did a lot of us

23:33I did a lot of us

23:35I did a lot of us

23:36I did a lot of us

23:37Performing again next weekend are

23:40PUNHAM AND GORGAS

23:54Thank you very much. Thank you.

23:59So that means Sarah and Vito and Nick and Luba one of you is safe and one of you is

24:10in the dance-off. I can reveal that the couple in the bottom two who must fight to keep their

24:16place in the competition is Nick and Luba. Nick and Luba, please come and join me. Sarah and Vito,

24:33congratulations. Go through to next week.

24:41Come over here, Nick. Sorry to see you here. It's the last place anybody wants to be.

24:46Well, it's kind of right. There are some fantastic dancers here who've done some amazing

24:51dances. Mine wasn't up to scratch for whatever reason, so I need to do better.

24:57OK, let's chat to the judges for a little bit of guidance. Craig, you love Nick's characterisation in

25:03his Charleston. So what else do you want to see now in the dance-off? Yeah, I did indeed.

25:08And I think you can develop that a bit more. I shouldn't worry about changing the dance as

25:13much as just throwing the ideas in a more exaggerated fashion and have a bit more fun with it.

25:20In fact, don't really care about the dance because the Charleston is like that. You can throw yourself

25:26into it wholeheartedly and I think you'll do a much better job. OK?

25:31APPLAUSE

25:33You want to give it everything you've got? Yeah, absolutely. Like, it's...

25:37Go well or go home, isn't it? So, you know, yeah, we'll throw ourselves at it.

25:42Well, it's all still to play for and we're all behind you, so very best of luck.

25:46Later in the dance-off, we'll see you there.

25:49Claude, how's the atmosphere upstairs?

25:51I'm so happy. So relieved.

25:57You look so shocked, the two of you together when Tess said your name.

26:01Yeah. You were bottom of the leaderboard. How worried were you?

26:03Yes. To be honest, I was disappointed and a bit gutted in myself this week

26:08because I did make a few mistakes and I guess it just shows you how human and real

26:12this whole situation is, learning something new, taking on a new challenge every week.

26:17But I did give it my best and we'll try even harder next week.

26:21But I'm just so grateful to everyone that voted to keep me and it means the world

26:24because I'm having just such a great time.

26:26Well done. You were fantastic.

26:28Talk to me, Peter, about Sloth Mondays.

26:31Sloth Mondays, yeah, Sloth Mondays. I am quite slow. Doing a quick step was a struggle.

26:35We renamed it the slow step. I'm very slow on a Monday.

26:38Because you've had a big weekend. Yeah.

26:40You are dancing next week to what I would say arguably the best song on earth. Here it is.

26:45By the way, can I just say, if you didn't manage to get Oasis tickets, that was just as good.

27:02Sam, I have news for you. You're supposed to be at a wedding in October.

27:06Yeah, on the 26th. But I did actually get a text after week two into the competition saying,

27:11actually, Sam, we might set your place just in case.

27:14So, to be honest, it's northern humour they were taking them in, I think.

27:18Yeah, I get it. But I, again, bit of a catch-22, beginning of the competition.

27:22I said, you know, it's not. Yeah. It'll be a lovely day if I'm in Strictly or the wedding.

27:26But, once you're in this competition, Claudia,

27:30Yeah. Quick, stack that wedding off. Sorry, guys. Sorry, guys. I love you.

27:35If there's a spare place and a free bar, I'll go.

27:39Er, Nikita, look at me. We're gonna do this again. No. No.

27:43I believe in you. This is gonna delete last week. What are you dancing to?

27:49So, I actually can do it. OK, here we go. What?

27:53Oh, I'm so sure! I'm so sure! I'm so sure!

27:55Come on, you can do it. OK. Give him a massage, Bill. Just wait a minute.

28:00And, and, and, and, and, and, sitting in front of me and a bishop

28:05And I'm wondering and a bishop

28:07And I'm wondering and a bishop

28:09Let's go to the new man

28:10May make a granda, you can lie by teaching

28:12Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

28:14Come on, come on, come on, come on

28:16Let me start in a mission

28:18Feel the rain on your knees

28:20No one else can feel it for you

28:23Only you can let it in

28:25No one else, no one else can speak your words on your knees

28:29Thank you, Nikita, have a seat

28:33Yes!

28:39You smashed it, thank you

28:41You are wonderful

28:42We need, after that, the only thing that we can move on to

28:46Yeah

28:47Is your cat, Percy

28:48Here is an update

28:49Oh, Percy, Percy

28:50He gets dressed up every week

28:56Look how happy he is!

28:57And so, he's so voguing it

28:59Isn't he?

29:00Sarah, what I love, you've said that Vito has made you appreciate music more

29:04That you can now hear things that you weren't aware of

29:08Yeah, because before when I listen to music

29:10What do you think you're listening to it?

29:11But then Vito makes you aware of all the little

29:14That you might not have appreciated before

29:18To really listen

29:20And I'm like

29:21Yeah

33:08Thank you so much to Snow Patrol and our professional dancers

33:09For that wonderful performance

33:26Thank you so much to Snow Patrol and our professional dancers for that wonderful performance.

33:34It is now crunch time. Shane and Nancy and Nick and Luba are about to go head-to-head in the dance-off

33:40and only one of them will make it through to next week.

33:43First to take to the floor, dancing their cha-cha, it's Shane and Nancy.

33:56Give me the one, give me the one, give me the one thing I'm asking you for.

34:14I ain't cheating, you fall on your feet, you know I ain't gonna think no more.

34:21Why can't you be good, not the real of the world, and be thankful to me, never deceiving?

34:30Let it all out, let it all out, pour it all out, yeah.

34:36Oh, oh, oh, oh, well if there ain't no love, if there ain't no use,

34:41gonna walk on by, gonna walk on through.

34:45Ooh, if there ain't no love, there ain't no use.

34:48Gonna walk on by, gonna walk on through.

35:00Oh, if there ain't no love, there ain't no use.

35:04Gonna walk on by, gonna walk on through.

35:08Can't think, can't think of what the children can do.

35:11Oh, oh, if there ain't no love, there ain't no use.

35:15Oh

35:32They have done all they can their fate now lies with the judges next to dance performing their Charleston, please show your support for Nick and

35:45I

36:15Listen to the

36:17I

36:19I

36:21I

36:23I

36:25I

36:27I

36:29I

36:31I

36:33I

36:35I

37:07Lovely rain.

37:25Both couples have doubts there all to stay in Strictly,

37:28but for one of them, their time in the ballroom ends right now.

37:33Judges, it's over to you.

37:37Based on that dance-off alone, I'm about to ask each of you the name of the couple you think deserves to stay and why.

37:47The couple with the most votes will remain in the competition, meaning the other is out of Strictly Come Dancing.

37:53In the event of a split decision, head Judge Shirley will have the final say.

37:58Shane and Nancy and Nick Anuba, this is it.

38:03Craig, who would you like to see again next week and why?

38:08Well, I thought, Shane, you kept time all the way through and it was clean.

38:13Nick, you totally threw caution to the wind, darling, and totally went for it, took the note on board,

38:19and I thought, that's the best I've seen you dance on the series.

38:23But the couple I would like to save for just cleanliness and for technique mainly is Shane and Nancy.

38:31Come on, see, who's won your vote and why?

38:39Well, I thought both couples dance well.

38:41I think both couples upped their level.

38:45I would actually like to save Shane and Nancy because, for me, they're at a whole different other level.

38:55We now have two votes for Shane and Nancy if Anton now also votes to save them.

39:01We'll see them next week.

39:03Anton, who would you like to keep in the competition and why?

39:07Well, it's often not the case that couples dance better in a dance-off

39:11and I felt that tonight both couples improved their performance.

39:15I thought Nick danced, as Craig said, the besties danced through the whole series

39:21and I thought that Shane's performance upped from what he did on Saturday night as well.

39:26With greater clarity of technique, I'd like to save Shane and Nancy.

39:35Shane and Nancy, congratulations.

39:39That means we are, of course, going to have to say our goodbyes to Nick and Luba.

39:44Please come and join me.

39:47Shirley, it will not affect the overall result now, but how would you have voted?

39:51Well, I thought Nick and Luba really upped their game, but so did Shane and Nancy

39:55and on this occasion I'd like to save Shane and Nancy.

39:58Thank you very much.

40:00Nick, oh, I'm so sorry we're going to see you go.

40:07We've absolutely loved having you on the show.

40:09I've really, really been surprised how much I've loved doing it and the two things happen.

40:15One, how much you care each week and the other is how much you don't want to let down your partner.

40:20The only reason I could do this this evening was because of Luba's changes.

40:23She's been amazing.

40:24APPLAUSE

40:26I mean, he's been so resilient and he's worked so hard, hasn't he, Luba?

40:31Yes, the determination.

40:32I never met someone as determined than you and I remember you saying that if you do your best, you'll be very happy.

40:39I think you did more than your best.

40:42APPLAUSE

40:45Luba, would you like to say to Luba?

40:47Luba's been amazing and just been so fabulous every day.

40:51And I should say a thank you also to all the backroom staff, the physios, all the people that have actually got me through this week

40:56and to all of my fellow competitors up there who have been absolutely astounding.

41:00Beautiful people.

41:01So much support for yourself.

41:02There are some amazing dancers up there and I will love watching the rest of the series.

41:07Anybody should give this a go. It's fantastic.

41:09If you wouldn't mind taking your place for one final performance for us, we'll be so grateful.

41:14Thank you so much.

41:16APPLAUSE

41:21Nick and Luba are sadly leaving us. They'll join Fleur and Jeanette on It Takes Two this week on BBC Two.

41:28We'll be back next Saturday at 6.25 as our amazing couples return to the dance floor.

41:33But now, with their farewell dance, it's the brilliant Nick and Luba!
