00:00It may have been an iconic show, but another couple has got to go.

00:30Welcome back to Stringly Come Dancing, where it is time for the results.

00:37This weekend saw a brand new theme week in the ballroom, but for one of our stars, tonight will be anything but iconic.

00:45Two of these ten couples will find themselves in the next dance-off, who is in danger tonight.

00:51We'll also have music from new band Dear Alice, and our professionals take on Beyoncé.

00:56Our first-ever icon show saw our judges hand out more tens than any other week this series.

01:02Here's what happened on Saturday night.

01:13Well, what a night. We had it all on our new themed week. It was an absolute triumph.

01:24Yeah, I thought it was brilliant.

01:26That wind ending his dance like that was so heartfelt.

01:34That's an iconic moment that will go down in history.

01:38My favourite was Shane and Nancy.

01:41They improved, they turned in that iconic Liverpool performance, and I thought that was just fabulous.

01:48You can honestly feel that everyone's stepped up again.

01:51Well, well done, you and your own team, I'm so proud of you, man.

01:53I can't get close enough to you because of these shoulder parts.

01:58That was my favourite dance so far. I'll remember that for the rest of my life.

02:03Your dance was just in awe.

02:05Like you and Jojo just worked so good to be together.

02:09She's the icon. She's the legend. She's the icon.

02:12The moment.

02:13The moment, that's it.

02:14At the top of the leaderboard, we have JB and Tasha. So, once again, our leaderboard is changing.

02:22JB has got his highest score of the series so far, and he's topping the leaderboard for the first time since show one.

02:33He really turned it on tonight. I thought it was absolutely fantastic.

02:38I'm blown away by the comments. I'm blown away by the scores. I'm blown away by the performance.

02:43From start to finish, it just felt epic.

02:49I thought Tasha's contemporary dance was absolutely brilliant.

02:53I just thought that was so emotional and exquisite.

02:57I danced it for the heart out of nowhere. It was just beautiful.

03:03I thought Tasha would be so proud.

03:06It's not even just about me. It's about everyone out there that struggle with self-confidence.

03:10This is the band.

03:13In the middle of the leaderboard, we have Jamie, Wynn, Sam, and Chris.

03:19And we always say that being in the middle is a very dangerous place to be.

03:28I do get really nervous doing this.

03:30Made a mistake and underperformed.

03:33Should have done better.

03:36Sam struggled tonight.

03:38Yeah, listen, I'm not a dancer, so any sort of feedback I can get, I'm going to take that 100%.

03:45At the other end of the leaderboard, of course, we have Pete.

03:49I felt so sorry for Pete and Yvita tonight.

03:52He literally started on the wrong foot. For him to recover was extraordinary.

03:57Last week he had such a fantastic night, and this week it just went down south.

04:01The lifts were perfection.

04:03Well, I'm glad some of it was.

04:05It was fun. I had fun. Let's go.

04:07The show must go on.

04:08One of our musical icons will be dropping off the chart.

04:11Time for someone to go home.

04:13But who is that someone going to be?

04:18I'm not ready to go home.

04:20I don't think any of us are.

04:22When you're stood under the red light, your heart is pounding out of your chest.

04:27Just waiting to hear your name to be called.

04:29That's the most scariest part.

04:33Apprehensive, nervous.

04:34Every week will be your last week.

04:35No one's safe.

04:37I would be gutted if I went home.

04:40I really hope we've done enough to stay.

04:42Always tough that someone has to go home.

04:47I would love to continue on this journey.

04:50I've had two less than ideal weeks.

04:54It's going to be nerve-wracking again.

04:55I'm just hoping that I've done enough to get through to next week.

05:01I don't want to go.

05:02I hope I stay.

05:04But it's not down to me now.

05:06Top ten shone as musical icons on Saturday night.

05:26But who left a lasting impression on you?

05:29Let's find out.

05:30The results are in.

05:31In no particular order the first couple through to next week is

05:47Shane and Nancy

06:02We're turning to the dance floor ah

06:10JB

06:23Also through ah

06:25Oh

06:30Pete and your veto

06:45Back to learn another new dance ah

06:47Tasha and Arias

07:09And now the first couple to compete in tonight's dance-off for their place in the competition is

07:17Oh

07:21Sam and Nikita

07:25The weight continues salmon Nikita, please come and join me

07:36Performing again and mixed feelings to be honest. I think you know what?

07:40I'm always happy to be here dance on the floor. Give it my all. I'm a whole career. It's all been about fighting

07:46I really enjoyed it the first time. So hopefully we'll enjoy it the second time around

07:58You said Sam had a lot of strengths on Saturday night. So what should she focus on for you in the dance-off?

08:04Um, I would like her to be a little more flexible through the spine during the moving parts of the dance when she's in hold

08:12Her lifts are beautiful. Your line is exquisite

08:16Don't make any mistakes add a bit of freedom, and I think you'll be absolutely fine

08:20Thank you so much

08:22Thank you so much

08:24We know you're a fighter Sam

08:26I'm doing it so much so I'm gonna give it my all what will be will be fun. I'll leave out there

08:31But we must go

08:33Thank you all the luck in the world once you're out there

08:35We'll see you later in the dance-off

08:37Let's head over to Claude and our first safe copy

08:40Thank you, Seth

08:42There is so much emotion

08:44I could feel it's palpable. Shane, first off, how relieved are you to be up here with you?

08:51I know if it feels absolutely amazing

08:53I'm just so relieved that we got through

08:56And will you both go into next week now with much more confidence do you think?

09:00Well, it's definitely giving us a boost, hasn't it boys?

09:02Yeah, absolutely

09:03We try to encourage ourself, trust ourself

09:06And, you know, we just want to give the best performance every week

09:11Yeah, well you did and congratulations you are through

09:15JB, Saturday night, huge night for you, those scores, that dance, did you love it?

09:21I loved every single second, but honestly I'm speechless

09:25It just felt like it was

09:27The right ending to what was a challenging week, you know?

09:30It just was the best way to end it

09:32I have some good news for you

09:33I don't know how competitive you are with your band

09:36You have officially now beaten Aston

09:39Well done!

09:40Yeah!

09:42We are very competitive, so yeah

09:44Obviously I'm still sad, obviously, that he went out when he did

09:48But I'm very happy that I'm through

09:50And I've beaten him

09:51You know what? I believed it when you said that, so well done

09:53Your reaction you two, you're bottom of the leaderboard

09:58People out there saved you, what would you like to say to them?

10:01I can't believe I'm still here and part of me feels like I probably don't deserve to be here

10:05But thank you, genuinely, thank you everyone

10:07I'm so happy to still be here

10:09You both look so shocked, we're happy to be here

10:12Yvita, I love the fact you describe yourself as Pete's dance mum

10:16Yes

10:17I expand

10:18It's generally every time when I see in the training room, Pete's taking step by step

10:23And when he does something well, I'm literally in tears

10:27Yeah

10:28And I'm like

10:29My boy! My boy!

10:31Also, on top of that, I've just got to say it

10:33I think an otter reserve has named

10:36Yeah

10:37Tell me

10:38I've got a picture of an otter

10:40Saying good luck, Pete

10:41And they've actually named two otters after me and Yvita

10:44There you go

10:45Wow

10:46Well done

10:47All round, a very good week

10:49Tasha, tell me about the support you had after your beautiful dance on Saturday

10:54The support has just been so magical

10:56So many messages saying I felt seen because of that dance

10:59And that's what it was about

11:00Sharing that story

11:01Not just for me, but for many of the people out there

11:03And that was the beauty of it, you know

11:05We shared a message and that's what mattered

11:07Thank you

11:08It was amazing

11:11Tasha, you've done quite a few dances

11:13Is there one you are dreading?

11:15I have said quite a few times quick step

11:18Just because I feel like it looks very quick

11:20A lot of steps

11:21I've seen people do it

11:22I'm like, wow

11:23It's a bit obvious and quick step, you know

11:25Pull it together

11:26No, we're with you

11:27We're with you

11:28It's ridiculously fast

11:29Yes

11:30On that subject, Aliash

11:31Would you like to tell your dance partner what you're doing next week?

11:35I wouldn't want to tell my dance partner what we're doing next week

11:38We're going to be doing a beautiful ballroom dance

11:41There might be a lot of steps

11:44But I promise I'm going to make it as quick as possible

11:49Quick step

11:50Yeah

11:51That would be brilliant

11:52That would be brilliant

11:53Congratulations to all of you

11:54You are through

11:55Now, Children in Need is coming up

11:57And a few weeks ago, Anton and our professionals went to a dance project in Wales

12:02To see the amazing work that they do

12:04Now I'm at Motion Controlled Dance, a community dance charity in Barrie, South Wales

12:17Motion Controlled Dance was set up because there was a gap in the Vale of La Morgan for a dance charity that could offer a variety of dance classes

12:25The children we have come in have a range of disabilities or on a neurodivergent pathway

12:31And they have a passion for dancing and entertaining

12:34Now I've come to surprise them, but I haven't come alone

12:38I've brought some friends

12:39Hi guys

12:40Come on

12:41Come on

12:42Let's go and meet the kids

12:43Ha da da

13:27It's so important because they have the community being able to do it together

13:31Enjoy it because I get to hang up with my friends and then we both fit

13:42We able to run the charity without the support of children no without that funding we wouldn't be able to put on this

13:53It's just

13:55Incredible to see how dance can make people feel so happy and included and that's because of your donations

14:00So thank you

18:12Thank you

18:24Thank you to our professional dancers and choreographer

18:30Elizabeth Honan

18:31Now four people

18:32Even more iconic than a tweet from Colleen Rooney

18:36It's

18:37The judges

18:39The judges

18:39Thank you so much for coming up

18:51Craig, first up

18:52Claudia

18:53Everybody's icon

18:55If you don't mind me saying

18:56Sam and Nikita in the bottom two

18:57Yes

18:58Very surprised

18:59Well, I am surprised

19:01I think, you know, she's a wonderful dancer

19:03I don't think she had a brilliant week

19:06I think she can improve it

19:08So it will give her another opportunity

19:10To at least improve it

19:11And I think we're we're all thinking the same thing

19:14But she just needs to loosen up a little bit more

19:17You know, it's American smooth

19:18You want it to be Fred and Jin

19:20She wants to be free

19:21She's never done a smooth one

19:23I don't care

19:24Oh, good morning

19:26Hello, wakey, wakey

19:27We're a long way into the competition

19:29And the competition is fierce

19:30You need to up your game

19:32All right

19:33You started something now, haven't you?

19:35It's almost erotic

19:37Let me ask you about Shane and Nancy

19:40Because you thought that was the best dance of his

19:43His, yes

19:44This week was the first time I felt the whole dance

19:47Was connected

19:48They were together

19:49They were as one

19:50Two bodies dancing as one

19:51All those sorts of things

19:52So his technique has always been pretty good

19:55His frame has been good

19:56And all those

19:56Those parts have been

19:57Have been good

19:58But that for me was the bit that was missing

20:00And I thought he had it on Saturday night

20:01Thank you so much

20:02Pleasure up

20:03Motsi, I love what you said about Tasha

20:05Because you said what was incredibly difficult

20:07Yes

20:08She made look easy

20:09I mean the way she moved

20:10You need technique to do that

20:12She felt extremely light

20:14There were very difficult pieces in there of

20:17You know the lifts the kicks the coordination

20:19The synchronization

20:20And just being able to transport that through dance

20:23Through feeling

20:24And quite fast at the same time

20:26Yes

20:27So I mean I wouldn't try that on a lucky day

20:30And she did it on strictly come dancing

20:31So

20:32Okay

20:32There you go

20:33Thank you so much

20:34Shirley, I need to talk to you about Chris

20:36Because you loved so many aspects

20:38You used words I've never heard you use before

20:41You said legato

20:42Sounds like a coffee

20:43Viennese crosses

20:44I thought that was a different dance

20:45Staccato timing

20:46You said things and I was like

20:49I'm going to write those down

20:50I couldn't spell them

20:51What do they mean?

20:52Well, they're technical expressions

20:55And I'm not used to seeing them on strictly come dancing

20:57So legato is slow and smooth when the movement takes its time

21:02And staccato is short and fast

21:04And he incorporated both of those

21:07So praise Diane for really having a go

21:09Because he executed it so well

21:11His posture this week was unbelievably beautiful

21:13He had some fantastic Viennese crosses

21:16He can hear the music well

21:17And overall, every week

21:19Chris is just getting stronger and stronger as a dancer

21:22Okay, perfect

21:23Thank you so much

21:24Beautifully said

21:26Great

21:27You and Shirley had quite a ruckus about Montel's phrase

21:31Who is right?

21:32I am

21:33I am

21:34I think if you're going to make a choice

21:36Not to be in hold

21:37And you're doing the ballroom moves

21:40Then you should be in frame

21:42Like a proper frame

21:43It looked as though she'd forgotten about her frame

21:46I have a point

21:48And from your point of view

21:50But I felt

21:51Thank you Michelle

21:52Because it was icons week

21:53And if you really listen to the phrasing in the music

21:56Yeah

21:57He actually often dropped the phrase when it became really really slow

22:00Oh

22:01So there was this beautiful pause

22:03And not only in the music

22:04But in the whole movement that he was doing

22:06They dropped the frame so ever so slightly

22:09And then picked it up again

22:11And showed the versatility between dropping the frame

22:13And bringing the frame up

22:15And let's face it

22:16You were always telling me

22:17Less technique and listen to the music

22:19You were always telling me that

22:20And the music told that story

22:22In my opinion

22:23I'm glad I've helped you

22:24I tell you who really loved icons week

22:28You four

22:29Have a look at this

22:30We love you

22:31It's the judges

22:32We love you. It's the judges.

22:50Back to the results.

22:53Thank you, Claude.

25:00Montel!

25:01You're all full of your joy and the dance-off.

25:02I'm so sorry to see you here.

25:03How are you feeling?

25:04Yeah.

25:05Well, it is what it is.

25:06We are focused now on the task ahead with this incredible man, who's been by my

25:07side.

25:08It is what it is.

25:09I'm so sorry to see you here. How are you feeling?

25:14Well, it is what it is. We are on focus now on the task ahead with this incredible man. He's been by my side. It shows not over till it's over. So

25:22Exactly. It's not over till it's over. Let's chat to the judges. Motsi, you said that the waltz was made for Montel.

25:30Yes. So what reassurance have you got for her now before the dance off?

25:33Well, Montel, you know, this dance off is all about mindset. You're an Olympic athlete.

25:38You know how this works. This is the time to press that button. Repeat what you did with confidence and push it.

25:46I believe in you. You can do it. Let's go.

25:50You ready to give it another go? Absolutely.

25:52But we believe in you too. We wish you all the best of luck and we're looking forward to seeing you for time again.

25:57Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

26:00How's the atmosphere with you, Claude?

26:03Very good, Tex. And also, if you don't mind me saying, extremely shocked.

26:08I mean, Chris, to look at you and Diane, you were so surprised when Tess said your name.

26:13Relieved and just happy and made up that people have voted for us because we've been down the bottom two weeks now and I'm trying my best.

26:22Dian, your dad, who we're obsessed with, met a Strictly winner.

26:27He did. Here is a video.

26:29Hello, Diane. It's Bill here. We're with your mum and dad.

26:31We really enjoyed the show. It was great. We'll see you in three weeks' time.

26:38Yeah. And listen, you and Chris are doing fantastically well. All the very best. Lots of love.

26:44Awww! And the aim always was to stay until when.

26:49Their parents are coming over in three weeks, so we've got to try and stay in two more episodes, haven't we?

26:54That's the plan. That's the goal. Well, congratulations, you are through to next week.

27:00Jamie, you were shaking when you came up here. Tell me what's going on inside.

27:06I am so shocked at that, honestly. I don't know who I wouldn't have been shocked at me. There's no one.

27:11But I am really shocked as myself. And I have to say, I actually think I should have been in the bottom two.

27:15No, no, no, no. I am really surprised at that. Like, really surprised.

27:20There was one dance you were desperate to do. What is it?

27:23Yeah, going into it again, I'm so thankful to everyone who voted and put us in because next week we do the Argentine tango.

27:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

27:34I am so happy about that. And after that, I'll leave gracefully, but I just want to do the Argentine tango.

27:41He's been saying since the beginning, I just want to do the Argentine tango, then I can leave.

27:45Can't say that'd be good, but I want to do it. Yeah, we are going to do it. We can't wait to see it.

27:49Sarah, talk to me about post-show days, because you've got a few issues.

27:53Yes, I go to a family splash session at the local swimming pool, and I sort of seem to be...

27:58I don't know about everybody else, but there's always still a bit of make-up or something in your hair,

28:02so you look a bit grubby. Yeah. And I can see some people thinking,

28:05she looks a bit like the woman in Strictly, but she wouldn't be, because her hair's all a bit griminy,

28:09and her face is all a bit grubby. And then you sort of leave a slick of glitter behind you.

28:13Which is not nice. No.

28:17Sarah, somebody found glitter on my eye on Wednesday this week, and I was like,

28:21I've had five showers.

28:23Win, I love the fact that you say Strictly is not a competition.

28:27Yeah, just for the avoidance of any doubt, because we're both dressed in black,

28:30this is Vito, and I am Win.

28:32But, thank you.

28:34No, I didn't know if we should sit next to each other, because, obviously,

28:37twins, and we both won MasterChef, but we don't like to talk about that.

28:41Yeah, I refuse to call it a competition, because, for me, it is the ultimate entertainment show,

28:48so I just love the fact that, you know, last week they said I'm an entertainer,

28:52and that's exactly what I want to be, and that's what this show is to me.

28:55Absolutely. Cassie, can we talk about the fact that you have fallen in love with,

28:59and want to move to Wales?

29:00Absolutely.

29:01There's this really beautiful word that I learnt.

29:03Is it hiraith?

29:04Perfect.

29:05Hiraith, yeah, which is spiritual longing for your country,

29:09and I can really feel it everywhere we go, so...

29:12Yeah, moving, moving, there's that okay?

29:14Perfect.

29:15Congratulations, you are all through to next week.

29:18APPLAUSE

29:21If a week in Strictly is simply not enough for you, then I bring excellent news.

29:25Have a look at this.

29:27To celebrate the first-ever Icons Week on Strictly, we're dressing up as Strictly icons.

29:32I'm dressed as Tess, and I'm just finishing up Fleur's Look Now.

29:36Okay, lots more eyeliner.

29:38Oh, and of course, a killer fringe.

29:42And there you have it, two Strictly icons.

29:46Talking of icons, it takes two to jam-pack with them.

29:49Next week, BBC Two, 6.30.

29:52Tess, Claude, we need you back in the studio for the dance-off.

29:57APPLAUSE

30:02Thank you, we love you. Brilliant.

30:04Very soon, Sam and Nikita and Montel and Johannes will go head-to-head in the dance-off,

30:09but first, it's music time.

30:11From the BBC One show Made in Korea, the K-pop experience,

30:14please welcome the very brilliant Dear Alice!

30:18APPLAUSE

30:39And I'm...

30:40Hey!

30:41Ho!

30:42I know I'm not perfect, I'm a little bit older.

30:46And under the surface, I could say I'm a soldier.

30:50I got it all, deep down in my soul.

30:55Hey!

30:56Ho!

30:57Ho!

30:58And the drums got me higher than drums.

33:49We were both young when I first saw you

34:05I closed my eyes and the flashback starts I'm standing there

34:10On a balcony in summer air

34:16You, Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

34:20And my daddy said, stay away from Juliet

34:24And I was crying all I said

34:26He said, begging him, please don't go

34:30Romeo, take me somewhere we could belong

34:32I'll be waiting

34:34All this that you do is run

34:36You'll be the prince

34:42Baby, just say

34:44Romeo, save me

34:46I've been feeling so alone

34:48I keep waiting for you

34:50But you've never promised this

34:52In my head

34:54I don't know

34:56I don't know

34:58What to think of me

35:00Now

35:02To the ground

35:04And I'm crying

35:06Baby, Juliet

35:08You'll never have to be gone

35:10I love you

35:12And that's all I really know

35:14Don't you think that

35:16Love me

35:18It's a love story

35:20Baby, just say

35:22Yeah

35:24Cause we were far young

35:26When I first saw you

35:30CHEERING

35:36Beautiful

35:38Beautiful

35:40Some of the kids have done everything they can

35:42To stay in Strictly

35:44Now, with their waltz

35:46It's Montel and Johannes

35:48CHEERING

35:50You've got

35:54To stay

35:58I would only be

36:02Your way

36:06So I'll go

36:10But I know

36:14I'll think of you

36:16Every step

36:18Of the way

36:20Every step

36:22Of the way

37:20I

37:22Always

37:24Love you

37:26I

37:28I

37:30I

37:32Thank you so much to both of our couples.

37:45That was quite the dance-off.

37:48Just one place remains in next week's show.

37:50Judges, it is time to make your decision.

38:22Who would you like to see again next week and why?

38:25Both couples, I thought, danced beautifully.

38:29But the couple, I'd like to say, Montel and Jojo.

38:38Motzi, who are you keeping in the competition and why?

38:42I would have to agree with Craig.

38:44Both girls dance beautifully and it just feels like we're losing girls and girls.

38:50I'm like, what is happening?

38:51But when I compare the two dancers, the waltz and the slow fox,

38:58I am going to save Montel and Johannes.

39:04Two votes to Montel and Johannes.

39:06If Anton now also votes to save them, they are through to next week's show.

39:12Anton, who do you believe should stay in Strictly and why?

39:15Well, we're at that stage of the competition and it's disappointing to lose either of these couples

39:21because they both could have made the fun.

39:23They're just super, super couples who I thought danced beautifully.

39:29But with a more powerful and simplicity of movement, I'm going to have to keep Montel and Johannes.

39:37Montel and Johannes, congratulations.

39:44We will see you next week.

39:45But sadly, we are saying goodbye to Sam and Nikita.

39:50Please come and join me.

39:52Shirley, may I ask you, would you have agreed with your fellow judges?

39:55Yes, completely.

39:57I would have saved Montel and Jojo.

39:59Thank you so much.

40:00We are so sorry that you are leaving us.

40:03I just want to say thank you.

40:05I've learned so much.

40:07Strictly has just brought that spring in my step back.

40:11It's just been an absolute joy.

40:13And Nikita, you've been key to helping me find that inner Sam that was there.

40:19Went a little bit quiet maybe for one or two years and has just come back.

40:22I am good because I do feel like I still had more to give.

40:25That was, yeah.

40:27You really have given us so much, Nikita.

40:31Sam has gone from being a hockey star to a Strictly star.

40:34You must be so proud of her.

40:36Oh, Tess, I'm in awe.

40:37I'm in awe of this girl.

40:38Sometimes they say, is it about the journey, is it about the destination?

40:42To me, it's about the company.

40:43And Sam, you are the most wonderful company I could have had for this beautiful job.

40:49You know, I think it's the...

40:50It's easy to look into the competition and, I mean, I'm guilty of watching on and thinking,

40:56how do they have that close relationship as a celeb and a dancer?

40:59And it's...

41:00All I can say is the time that you spend together, what you bring out of each other,

41:04it really is and it sounds dead cheesy.

41:06It's magical.

41:09We've loved seeing you growing company.

41:11Have you along for the ride?

41:13It's been wonderful.

41:14You will be missed if you wouldn't mind.

41:16Do it as the honour.

41:17One last dance, Sam.

41:19It's been absolutely wonderful having you.

41:23Thank you very much.

41:28Sam and Nikita are leaving Strictly.

41:31They'll join Flo and Jeanette on It Takes Two this week on BBC Two.

41:35We'll be back next at 6.35 as our couples dance for a place in Blackpool.

41:40But now, saying goodbye to the ballroom, it is the gorgeous Sam and Nikita.

42:02You can go your own way

42:07You can go like another lonely day
