00:01:15your lucky pants oh you betcha i feel odd our next celebrity is used to getting millions of likes for his
00:01:26online content but for tonight's american smooth there are only four he's after it is george clark and
00:01:33his partner alexis has anyone got a jumper when it comes to videos i make i'm i tend to be a bit of
00:01:48a perfectionist so i think i may have the same approach to dancing with a worse outcome alexis
00:01:55seems very sort of bubbly she's funny you guys do your like biscuits with like clotted cream and jam
00:02:01they are not called biscuits scones scones scones i'm more than ready to apply myself we'll take
00:02:09your social media skills my dancing skills we'll combine it and just embrace whatever that comes
00:02:16i'm off my first day of strictly dance school for our week one we are going to be doing an american
00:02:22smooth foxtrot this dance has a lot packed in it and so it's very important that we make it as seamless
00:02:29as possible if i can td didiga didn't realize it was a td didiga the lift is challenging i'm actually
00:02:37at some point wearing alexis like a scarf
00:02:42seeing the potential turning him into a dancer folks
00:02:48i think me and alexis work well together because we both like to make content there's time for a little
00:02:54joke and then there's time to get good at dancing she's mastered the second part i less so come
00:03:00back we're locked in now toe i've gone the wrong way he'll wrong way he definitely gets frustrated
00:03:06with himself when he doesn't get it and he knows i don't understand do you remember anything from
00:03:12yesterday maybe there was a few things that have slipped my mind a bit of a perfectionist and i don't
00:03:16really want to let alexis down so i'm hoping when i hit that dance floor it goes okay

00:05:25Oh, my God.
00:05:26Oh, my God.
00:05:27Oh, my God.
00:05:28Can you believe you just did that?
00:05:30No.
00:05:31That was shocking.
00:05:32I think you've shocked yourself.
00:05:33Yeah.
00:05:34Yeah.
00:05:35For sure.
00:05:36Anton, is he a ballroom boy?
00:05:38What?
00:05:39I have to tell you, he's on the way, isn't he?
00:05:41Really?
00:05:42That was rather splendid.
00:05:43Welcome, Alex.
00:05:44Welcome to the show.
00:05:45What a first dance.
00:05:46You first.
00:05:47Alexis.
00:05:48Apologies, Alexis.
00:05:49Um, I have to tell you, I rather enjoyed that.
00:05:52Now, what I want you to worry about when you're moving forward,
00:05:54I'm going to stand up for this, is how important it is to me.
00:05:56Oh, I love it.
00:05:57Everything you do comes through the shoulders.
00:05:59Yes.
00:06:00Now, you've got essentially quite a nice line, but it's a little high.
00:06:02This left arm's too high.
00:06:03You've got to get that way down.
00:06:04But, so, try and stop, and what it makes you do is this.
00:06:07I want you to stand better, and I want everything to come from
00:06:10underneath the shoulders.
00:06:11Shoulders stay down.
00:06:12The arms go out like this.
00:06:13You get a much cleaner line.
00:06:14But your movement is very natural.
00:06:15Your lifting was really quite...
00:06:17Your first lift.
00:06:18Brilliant.
00:06:19All in all, good job.
00:06:20Thank you very much.
00:06:21Yes.
00:06:22Yes.
00:06:23Bravo.
00:06:24We're tenting a lift.
00:06:25Great.
00:06:26For someone that has never danced, you have amazing potential.
00:06:30You really do.
00:06:31Oh.
00:06:34So, so butter.
00:06:35Thank you, George.
00:06:36Marzi.
00:06:37Yeah, George, you know, you have such a innocent and humble way of performing.
00:06:44And I really truly believe that.
00:06:47And at the end of the dance, there was a slight smile.
00:06:50I was like, oh my gosh.
00:06:52There it is again.
00:06:53You let yourself go.
00:06:55You did a great job.
00:06:57First of all, you did a great job.
00:06:58Those lifts, everybody went crazy.
00:07:01That means you have good skills with that.
00:07:03You have good partnering skills.
00:07:05You are going to hear a lot of information the next weeks.
00:07:08I think you can handle it.
00:07:10But just keep this authenticity.
00:07:12I enjoyed that so much.
00:07:13Thank you very much.
00:07:16Three out of three.
00:07:17Will it be four?
00:07:18Shirley.
00:07:19I was actually impressed.
00:07:20You did a weave and you didn't clunk your heels down at all.
00:07:23Some lovely footwork that you had going on.
00:07:25Really, really nice.
00:07:27Posture, posture, posture.
00:07:28There was places where you showed that you have the possibility
00:07:31of having an outstanding frame.
00:07:33Right now, it just collapses.
00:07:34You're not quite sure how to keep those sides long.
00:07:37Musicality, very, very nice.
00:07:39Partnering skills, exquisite.
00:07:41This is going to be a dynamic partnership.
00:07:43Well done, you.
00:07:44Wow.
00:07:45Thank you very much.
00:07:46Great comment.
00:07:47Oh, my God.
00:07:48Potential and possibility.
00:07:49That's what we like to hear.
00:07:51What a great start.
00:07:52Well done, George.
00:07:53And thank you, Alexis.
00:07:54Thank you for coming out.
00:07:56Cheers.
00:07:57Oh, my God.
00:07:58You did that.
00:08:00You did that.
00:08:01You did that.
00:08:02Come on.
00:08:03Come on.
00:08:04Come on.
00:08:05Come on.
00:08:06Yes.
00:08:07Come on.
00:08:08Come on.
00:08:09Yes.
00:08:10George, well done.
00:08:11Amazing.
00:08:12Amazing comments.
00:08:14And you're so hard on yourself.
00:08:15Yeah.
00:08:16How was it hearing that?
00:08:17Um, reassuring, I think, to say the least.
00:08:19Yeah.
00:08:20I thought she was probably getting bored in the practice room just doing the same thing over
00:08:23and over again.
00:08:24I know.
00:08:25I love the fact you said, like, oh, I'm really worried Alexis is just going to be so bored
00:08:29of me.
00:08:30Yeah.
00:08:31Week one, those lifts.
00:08:32Yes.
00:08:33Were you nervous?
00:08:34Obviously, yeah.
00:08:35Especially doing lifts with someone who hasn't danced before.
00:08:37But I found a lot of trust in him.
00:08:43And even when lifts went bad, he always caught me.
00:08:46And so I felt safe very quickly.
00:08:48Excellent.
00:08:49Yeah.
00:08:50Congratulations on your first dance.
00:08:51The scores are in.
00:08:52The judges have their scores.
00:08:55Craig Revel Horwood.
00:08:56Six.
00:08:57Yeah!
00:08:58Motsu Mabuse.
00:08:59Six.
00:09:00Yeah!
00:09:01Yeah!
00:09:02Yeah!
00:09:03Yeah!
00:09:04Shirley Barrett.
00:09:05Six.
00:09:06Yeah!
00:09:07Yeah!
00:09:08Well done.
00:09:10Perfect.
00:09:11The judges' scores will be carried over to next week, and that's when you can vote for
00:09:20your favourite couple.
00:09:21Please go to bbc.co.uk forward slash strictly where you can register.
00:09:26This year, they've said, I have to mention the QR code almost constantly.
00:09:31I'm 53.
00:09:32George, could be my grandson.
00:09:33Over to you.
00:09:34Explain what it is.
00:09:35I'm sorry.
00:09:36Sweat in my eyes.
00:09:37Sorry.
00:09:38Get your phone or tablet.
00:09:39Open the camera.
00:09:40Zoom in on the QR code.
00:09:41Do that.
00:09:42A link should pop up.
00:09:43Click on that, and it will take you to all the information you need.
00:09:45Thank you very much.
00:09:46Let's hear it for George!
00:09:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:09:52Next to Dan's, it is Vicky Patterson and her partner Kai.
00:09:55Now, Vicky is one of our most nervous celebrities, so I just wanted to help reassure her that
00:10:00she's got absolutely nothing to be worried about.
00:10:02Right, Anton?
00:10:03What about?
00:10:04Oh.
00:10:05I forgot about him.
00:10:10Being out your comfort one's really hard, isn't it?
00:10:12But I know I've got to push through.
00:10:14I want to make me family proud.
00:10:16I want to put on a good show.
00:10:18Kai is an absolute dream.
00:10:20Make me feel like all my dreams come true.
00:10:22How are you, Pess?
00:10:23Hello.
00:10:24Little lemon sorbet.
00:10:28My dad's side of the family is all from Newcastle, so I feel like we have a Geordie connection
00:10:32and we have very similar senses of humour, so I was over the moon to get partner with Vicky.
00:10:37What did the cheese say when it looked in the mirror?
00:10:40Hello, me!
00:10:42Oh, God!
00:10:44I just thought...
00:10:45I did!
00:10:47We're like the new Anton Deck.
00:10:52Morning!
00:10:53Morning, partner.
00:10:54Are you OK?
00:10:55I'm all right.
00:10:56I'm going to try and be a real positive pigeon today.
00:10:58Positive pigeon.
00:10:59Yeah, I'm sick of me nerves.
00:11:00Our first dance, the cha-cha-cha.
00:11:05I know nowt about the cha-cha-cha.
00:11:07Think position.
00:11:08Kai has choreographed this really, like, sassy, very strong intro.
00:11:12OK.
00:11:13And then open the right, cos I'm not trying not to do that.
00:11:15I am, like, an iron board with arms, normally.
00:11:18I just hope I don't look as awkward as I feel like I do in me head.
00:11:21And we've just got to get it a little bit snappier.
00:11:23I'm not the most coordinated of ladies, so I've smashed myself in the face a couple times.
00:11:29I give it too much, well, you can't.
00:11:32Once we get into the rhythm of it, we can put the personality on top.
00:11:34I tried.
00:11:35You've got all the top tips, haven't you?
00:11:37I know.
00:11:38And just imagine all of you powerful, confident, gorgeous women who've done it before us
00:11:41and maybe I need to channel their energy.
00:11:44One.
00:11:45There's been a lot of progress made this week.
00:11:47Knowledge is power.
00:11:48We know what we're doing.
00:11:49All that's left to do is go out there and dance.
00:11:51I just hope my confidence keeps growing and I keep getting better.
00:11:54Who knew everybody could do these things?
00:12:02Dancing for cha-cha, Vicky Patterson and Kai Whittrington.
00:12:11It doesn't take much to make me happy, and to make me smiley.
00:12:27Never, never will I feel discouraged, cause no love's no mystery.
00:12:33mystery
00:12:34Oh, oh, you've got the best
00:12:37of my love
00:12:38Oh, oh, you've got the best
00:12:41of my love
00:12:42Oh, yeah
00:12:45Kind love,
00:12:49kind love
00:12:50Oh, yeah
00:12:53Kind love,
00:12:57kind love
00:12:58Woo-hoo
00:13:03Oh, oh, you've got the best
00:13:07of my love
00:13:08Oh, oh, you've got the best
00:13:11of my love
00:13:12Oh, oh, you've got the best
00:13:15of my love
00:13:16Oh, oh, you've got the best
00:13:19of my love
00:13:20Oh, yeah
00:13:22Kind love, kind love
00:13:27Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you got the best of my love, oh, oh, you got the best of my love.
00:13:57Oh, congratulations. You did it. You got through it. You did so well. Oh, and you're on your roll at the beginning. That was so brave.
00:14:13Yeah, I'm sorry, Tess, I want to have Lord's a good crack. Will you put on proper upper breath?
00:14:18Can't speak. Save it. More much of going to the judges now, but that will soon be over.
00:14:23Well, I hope it'll be lovely. Great.
00:14:25I'd like a little bit of hip action and connection, and every time you retirate your leg, you need to point your foot to the knee.
00:14:33But you have nothing to be nervous about.
00:14:36Yes. Yes.
00:14:41I agree with Craig. Nothing to be nervous about. I love the way you move.
00:14:48It's so feminine and graceful. And you did not look under stress.
00:14:54You need to work on a little bit of leg action, how you use your knees when you dance.
00:15:00And I felt there was a connection with you.
00:15:03There was a very difficult choreography, and you were always connected with Kai.
00:15:07So that is going good. We love that. And keep it up. Very good, girl.
00:15:11Yeah.
00:15:12You can stop shaking now for him.
00:15:16I'm sorry, Tal, it's really suspicious. Hold my hand.
00:15:20Shirley.
00:15:21Well, nerves can be a good thing, and I think you work them to your advantage, because we certainly couldn't tell that you were nervous.
00:15:27I made a couple of notes. Your footwork was quite good.
00:15:29Leg action, like Motsi says, one straight leg, one bent.
00:15:31You're going to have to do the rumba. Similar types of leg action.
00:15:34Flexibility, I quite liked. I thought it was good.
00:15:37Your personality was great, and your rotation is there. All in all, a good performance.
00:15:41Thank you, sir!
00:15:42Yes!
00:15:43We'll take that.
00:15:44Anton!
00:15:45Well, do you know, for you, I think repetition is going to be your friend.
00:15:49Just keep doing it over and over again, a million times.
00:15:54That will help build your confidence, because there's a lot to like.
00:15:57I want you to work your legs the same way as you work your arms.
00:15:59Your arms are spectacular. Wham! They go in.
00:16:02I want your legs to do the same thing. Wham! Into the leg action, because I think you've got a lot of potential.
00:16:07Oh!
00:16:08That's so nice, sweet!
00:16:10That's good.
00:16:11Dave, nothing to worry about.
00:16:14I could kiss them, that was so nice!
00:16:16So could I. Off you go, go and celebrate with Claude, Vicky and Kai.
00:16:19Thank you, sir.
00:16:20Thank you, sir.
00:16:21Thank you, sir.
00:16:22Yes!
00:16:23Let's do it!
00:16:24Let's do it!
00:16:25Let's do it!
00:16:26Let's do it!
00:16:27Let's do it!
00:16:28Let's do it!
00:16:29Let's do it!
00:16:31We have almost, I think, never had somebody as nervous as you.
00:16:39I tried to talk to you early and you went, no.
00:16:42And you looked in shock at those comments.
00:16:46How do you feel now?
00:16:48Oh, God, I don't even know.
00:16:51I was so scared beforehand.
00:16:52Oh, no.
00:16:53And I just didn't know what they were going to say.
00:16:55And the fact that there was some, like, nice bits in there, I'm shocked.
00:16:58They said great potential.
00:17:00They said arms, phenomenal.
00:17:02They said all kinds of things.
00:17:04You described yourself as a sloth.
00:17:06You are not a sloth.
00:17:07Oh, I just like being slow, Claudia.
00:17:10Do you know what I mean?
00:17:11Like, I hate standing up.
00:17:12I love...
00:17:13I'm in love with you.
00:17:15Like, I like sitting down, but lying down is my favourite.
00:17:18Oh, Annie!
00:17:19It's the best.
00:17:20So then, when you do the cha-cha-cha, and she's a spicy little minks, you've got to be fast.
00:17:25So, this week I've tried to be a turbo sloth.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28OK.
00:17:29And you smashed it.
00:17:31You smashed it.
00:17:32Also, you didn't make it easy, though.
00:17:33Backbends.
00:17:34There was a lot of choreography in there.
00:17:35There was, there was.
00:17:36But I think Vicky's just proven that anyone could do anything if they put their mind to it.
00:17:38And this one is a little trooper.
00:17:39She was a bag of nerves beforehand.
00:17:41But I said, it's just me and you dancing out there.
00:17:43Yeah.
00:17:44And she smashed it.
00:17:45So, I'm so proud.
00:17:46You absolutely did.
00:17:47Well done.
00:17:48The scores are in.
00:17:49The judges' scores are in.
00:17:52Craig Revelhall.
00:17:53Five.
00:17:56Motsi Mabuse.
00:17:57Six.
00:18:00Shirley Ballas.
00:18:01Six.
00:18:04Anton Dubeck.
00:18:05Six.
00:18:08Come on.
00:18:09I'm so happy.
00:18:10You think I'm going to fall four months, isn't it?
00:18:12Come on!
00:18:13Woo!
00:18:14I don't know what to say.
00:18:15All of our couples will be dancing again next week.
00:18:19That is when you get the chance to vote for the very first time.
00:18:23Still to come, Tom and Amy with a Paso.
00:18:25Tom, describe the Paso to me in three words, please.
00:18:28The Paso Doble.
00:18:29It's good fun.
00:18:30Right.
00:18:31It's dramatic.
00:18:32Yeah.
00:18:33And it's enjoyable.
00:18:34Oh, fine.
00:18:35Oh, God.
00:18:36That was four words.
00:18:37Don't let it go.
00:18:38Tess.
00:18:39There it is.
00:18:40There it is.
00:18:41Right now, with a quick step, is former Premier League footballer, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank.
00:18:46And in a strictly first, he's got not one, but three professionals.
00:18:50Our Lauren and his two daughters at home.
00:18:52And this week, they've all been on hand to give him some advice.
00:18:55It's nice, isn't it?
00:18:56To be strictly-fied.
00:18:57Huh?
00:18:58Footballers don't have a long lifeline in the show.
00:18:59Yes, in football, you have quick feet, but dancing, it's a whole different ballgame.
00:19:14The moment I found out about Lauren, I was so happy.
00:19:17I think I celebrated like I scored a goal.
00:19:20I am determined to break the stereotype that footballers go out of Strictly Come Dancing
00:19:25early.
00:19:26It's on.
00:19:27Okay.
00:19:28It's on.
00:19:29Get your dancing shoes on.
00:19:31Let's go.
00:19:32Let's go.
00:19:35Let's go.
00:19:36This week, we are dancing a Quick Step to Chelsea Dagger.
00:19:41The Quick Step is very fast.
00:19:42One, two, side-back, lock-step.
00:19:44There's still a lot of work to be done.
00:19:47We have done a lot of exercises for my posture.
00:19:52Quick feather.
00:19:53I got Jimmy to take a ballroom hold and do some headers.
00:19:56All of his energy went up, which is a really similar feeling to Quick Step.
00:20:01Yeah!
00:20:02When you're at home, can you ask the girls to always check your posture?
00:20:05I'm very excited to tell my daughters how my day was.
00:20:09Can you tell us what dance you're doing?
00:20:11I am doing the quick step.
00:20:13Oh my gosh!
00:20:14Yes.
00:20:15Have you got any tips for me?
00:20:17Practice, practice, practice.
00:20:19Yeah, but practice and then how do I become better?
00:20:22Practice.
00:20:24Him having a go at something that's completely out of his comfort zone.
00:20:28Really inspiring.
00:20:29I'm very excited to see my dad doing a quick step.
00:20:33I have to give everything I got to make them proud and seeing that I can do a dance and I can do it well.
00:20:47Dancing the quick step, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank and Lauren Oakley.
00:20:59And we'll be back.
00:21:03Ah, well you must be a girl that she looks like that, she said you're doing well.
00:21:18I said you and little Stephen had your eye on the back of my hotel.
00:21:22Oh, yeah.
00:21:24Someone said she was asking after me,
00:21:26but I know your best is a black guy.
00:21:28I said, tell me your name, Mr. Sue.
00:21:30She said, my boy ain't that guy.
00:21:32Oh, yeah.
00:21:34I was good, she was hard, stealing everything she got.
00:21:36I was bold, she was over the worst again.
00:21:38Hey, forget, thank your damn, bring your sister over here,
00:21:41let her dance with me just all the hell again.
00:21:52Chelsea, Chelsea, I believe.
00:22:04When you're dancing slowly, it's time to see.
00:22:07The boys get lonely after you leave.
00:22:09This one's part of the gang, but now they're from the one you believe.
00:22:16Yeah!
00:22:22I saw that triumph a little fist up then.
00:22:40Oh, my goodness.
00:22:41I could watch you dance all night.
00:22:43The joy on your face.
00:22:46Infectious, it was lovely.
00:22:48Did he put those quick feet to good you, Shirley?
00:22:50Well, first of all, I feel like everybody's turning in great performances
00:22:53and this was another one.
00:22:54It's really heating up, isn't it, Anton?
00:22:56Great control to everybody upstairs.
00:22:59That's the kind of quality and control that you want.
00:23:01Now, you did make a little mistake here, again, like other people.
00:23:04You picked it up and kept going.
00:23:06It didn't, you know, you didn't whiver or quiver or anything.
00:23:09You just got on with it.
00:23:10But some beautiful footwork, a great frame.
00:23:12I mean, you're setting the bar for sure.
00:23:14Well done.
00:23:15Well done.
00:23:16Wow.
00:23:17He's a head judge, you know.
00:23:19Anton.
00:23:20I mean, I absolutely agree.
00:23:21You moved wonderfully.
00:23:23That very amazing flow.
00:23:26Wasn't lumpy.
00:23:27It was smooth.
00:23:28You had interesting, difficult timing combinations there
00:23:31with the scatter chassis and the double-timed scatter chassis.
00:23:34You had little scatter runs and things like that.
00:23:36All very difficult.
00:23:38The bit you went a bit wrong on was the easiest bit of timing
00:23:40you've got an old routine.
00:23:41It was simple lockstep.
00:23:42You did the wrong foot.
00:23:43I've never tried it that way round.
00:23:44I might give it a go.
00:23:45No.
00:23:46But other than that, I thought that was a really, really
00:23:48excellent performance.
00:23:49Well done.
00:23:50Wow.
00:23:52I thought you were picking your feet up a little too much
00:23:55throughout.
00:23:56And I felt you lost control of your frame halfway through it.
00:24:00But it was light.
00:24:01It was bright.
00:24:02It was confident.
00:24:04Confident.
00:24:05Confident.
00:24:06Confident.
00:24:07Yes.
00:24:08Morsi.
00:24:09Jimmy, what I appreciated very much is that I could see you
00:24:12were working very hard on your technique.
00:24:15You were really trying to show that great hold.
00:24:19And that was amazing.
00:24:20You were working on your feet.
00:24:22That was amazing.
00:24:23I got a smile in and out.
00:24:26In and out.
00:24:27So I think we need to work on selling it, like enjoying more
00:24:31and the joy you feel inside, spread it with us.
00:24:34Are you feeling?
00:24:35Honestly, what a great start.
00:24:37What a great start.
00:24:38What a great start.
00:24:39What a start from Jimmy, you to Lauren and your beautiful
00:24:43daughters crowd.
00:24:44Congratulations.

00:25:25Your daughter, Mia and Lauren never watched you play.
00:25:27You play how lovely is it that they can watch you perform? Yeah
00:25:32At least I can give that back
00:25:34You know, so I always talk about football now. We are talking about dancing so
00:25:42He's absolutely amazing he retains information he wants to work. He's like can we do it again? Can we do it again?
00:25:48He's telling me what he needs count here. Don't count here make a noise here

00:27:00Balvin to so pal she has been dreaming about dancing on strictly for 21 years
00:27:05But what she might not have been dreaming about is dancing the samba in week one
00:27:10Luckily, she's got a brand new professional to show her how it's done. It is Balvin da and Julian
00:27:17This is the best I'm loving it
00:27:23Dance is completely different to learning lines, so I'll see how I fair
00:27:30Hello
00:27:31Fancy seeing you here
00:27:33Jules, I have to tell you something. I have watched strictly come dancing since its first series
00:27:39I am a super fan
00:27:41It's because it's strictly it brings people so much joy, and I think that that's really what we want to bring
00:27:47And it's because we love it. We want to entertain we want to grow as well. Yeah, that's wonderful. Yeah, this is gonna be brilliant
00:27:57I've been itching to get started
00:27:59Wouldn't it be nice to have a little freak out?
00:28:01Don't be a koala. I feel like it's very like
00:28:06One of the key things about the samba is really the bounce action and kind of the softness in the knees
00:28:11I think it kind of suits us. It's high energy, but fun. Yeah, and cool. I mean Jules looks cool
00:28:18Jules is such a brilliant teacher always looking to make it make sense for me
00:28:25What's gone really well is the attitude and the energy that Bals brought
00:28:28Not only is it my first time on the show, but it's also Julian's first time as a pro on strictly. There's something really magical about that
00:28:40It's exciting, huh? Oh my gosh, look at this
00:28:43It's both you and I's first dance on here. I know, I know. How are you feeling about it?
00:28:46I'm actually looking forward to it. I mean, I'm very nervous. Yeah, waited a long time to dance here
00:28:51So let's just enjoy it and and make the most of it
00:28:54This experience has been amazing from start to right now and I am absolutely
00:29:00Like over the moon to be performing. I can't wait for that

00:30:46Okay
00:31:09Bob Vinda has arrived. I wanted to join in with you there. Was it worth the wait?
00:31:16100%
00:31:18I'm so proud of you. Doesn't she look amazing?
00:31:25I love the attitude front of the judges tell me you enjoyed it Anton
00:31:31Why you ask me about the Samba now I?
00:31:35Love the vibe though. I love the I love the way you did
00:31:37I love this 70s by the disco vibe absolutely gorgeous welcome to the show as well drew in great number you put
00:31:43Yeah, that first time excellent job. It's good. It has a great feel
00:31:47I love this about you now. I want you to keep this
00:31:50Again, this is a tale of two halves from the waist up excellent loss of rhythm. It's all going on lots of cell great
00:31:58Under the waterline. However, we got one or two issues
00:32:01And then we got to turn those feet out to give you more stability the legs have got a
00:32:06Straighten at times you'll get more hit from the waist down that there wasn't as much going on as I'd liked but from the waist up
00:32:13Amazing. So let's focus on that and we'll carry that forward work on that next week
00:32:18Thank you
00:32:21It was a little flat footed all the way through your feet seem to be stuck to the floor at times
00:32:25There was no bounce at all as very pigeon-toed turned in and even a little bit messy
00:32:32But you know you threw absolutely
00:32:35everything
00:32:37I think you're a natural move it looked as though it comes easy to you
00:32:45It was very connected within your body like Anton say the base the bottom downstairs
00:32:52That's where we build the foundation. So we need to start there
00:32:54We need to feel all our foot action leg action connected to our center and then perform. It's week one
00:33:01It's a samba you gave it your best keep going
00:33:07So true
00:33:09I can't underestimate the difficulty of a samba in week one
00:33:12Shirley
00:33:13Personality off the chart a good little rhythm going on in the middle of the body synchronized and coordinated arms
00:33:19When you go down and have a look downstairs what you need to look is you're rolling on the outside edges of your shoes
00:33:24You need to go on the inside edges of shoes now
00:33:26I know because when I was younger I used to be on the outside edge and I trained to be on the inside edge
00:33:30Try every day to first position in ballet second position third fourth fifth try that as an exercise because if we can get those
00:33:37Feet as good as your top
00:33:39We're in a winner for sure
00:33:45I know your partner is very proud of you so proud so
00:33:49So unbelievably proud
00:33:51We really enjoy it. Thank you so much
00:33:53And Julian
00:33:55Well done
00:33:57You were awesome honey
00:33:59That was so good
00:34:01That was so good
00:34:03That was so good
00:34:05That was so good
00:34:07We love you Balvinda
00:34:09You have been watching since series one you said this was your dream is it everything you thought it would be?
00:34:11Oh and more and more yeah look at the costumes
00:34:13I know it's amazing and the dancing it's just bang on
00:34:15Yeah
00:34:17Even though you say Balvinda can't be a koala why
00:34:19Yeah just sometimes like I'm big on personal space and we can get a little bit clean so it's just like don't clean just keep your own space
00:34:33It's me holding on for dealing
00:34:35I know look at me like being a koala
00:34:37I always got to be a koala
00:34:39I believe he's roping you in on all of the socials

00:35:49Tess
00:35:51Thank you better late than never
00:35:53Our next celebrity's dance floor debut
00:35:55Includes an iconic entrance
00:35:57A show-stopping dress
00:35:59And a sparkly pink pony
00:36:01After all these years we might have found a contestant
00:36:03Who's actually out-strictly-fied strictly
00:36:05With an American smooth
00:36:07With an American smooth
00:36:09It is Lavoie and Aliash
00:36:11Hello darlings
00:36:13Hello darlings
00:36:15Oh sorry
00:36:17Was it that basic?
00:36:21This is all very surreal
00:36:23I'm about to start training
00:36:25I haven't done training
00:36:27Since I did work experience in 1986
00:36:29But once I get to share the stage
00:36:31With a partner
00:36:33But Aliash
00:36:35I mean there's doing strictly
00:36:36And there's doing strictly
00:36:37With Aliash
00:36:39I feel like you're gonna teach me
00:36:41So much when it gets to performing
00:36:43And I'm really really excited for that as well
00:36:45Oh maybe you could wear the heels
00:36:47I think
00:36:49We just need to get to it now
00:36:51My first dance style
00:36:53Is the American smooth foxtrot
00:36:55Dancing the American smooth
00:36:57It is very interesting
00:36:59Because I'm now rehearsing with Chris
00:37:01I am training as Chris
00:37:03But Lavoie is at the live shows
00:37:05That's exciting
00:37:06Something happens to me
00:37:07Where Chris is gone
00:37:08And Lavoie is there
00:37:09And to get to this stage
00:37:11Has took years and years
00:37:13And I've studied all these amazing icons
00:37:15Like Dame Edna and Lily Savage
00:37:17Were they your biggest inspirations?
00:37:18Yeah
00:37:19In a way that's what dancing is
00:37:21You always sort of lose yourself
00:37:23In the character of that dance
00:37:25Once we add Lavoie into the picture
00:37:27It's only gonna always make it better
00:37:31Working with Aliash
00:37:32Is the best part of this process
00:37:34One
00:37:35Two
00:37:36He makes it so much fun
00:37:38In fact I worry
00:37:39That we might be having too much fun
00:37:40Oh
00:37:42Are you here for frame?
00:37:43I thought we were going wrong
00:37:44I'm a little bit worried
00:37:46That Lavoie is not gonna dance
00:37:48The same as Chris does
00:37:49This is Lavoie's rehearsal skirt
00:37:52The judges are gonna be looking
00:37:53For a neat technique and footwork
00:37:55Side
00:37:56Cross
00:37:57Quick
00:37:58Quick
00:37:59That was it
00:38:00That was it
00:38:01Chris has learnt the dance
00:38:02Now it's time for Lavoie to perform it
00:38:07Dancing the American smooth
00:38:08Lavoie and Aliash Scoriales
00:38:10I know you wanted me to stay
00:38:25But I can't hear the presentations of me in LA
00:38:29And
00:38:31I heard
00:38:33That there's a special place
00:38:35Where boys and girls can all be queens
00:38:38Every single day
00:38:40I'm having wicked dreams
00:38:42Of leaving Tennessee
00:38:44Here's Santa Monica
00:38:47I swear it's calling me
00:38:49Won't make my mama proud
00:38:51It's calling for the sea
00:38:53She sees her baby girl
00:38:55I know she's gonna scream good
00:38:59But hurt her to die
00:39:01Get a pink pony girl
00:39:03And you dance at the club
00:39:05Oh mama
00:39:07You dance her to die
00:39:09On the stage in my yard
00:39:12It's where I belong down at the
00:39:15Pink pony club
00:39:17Pink pony club
00:39:19I'm gonna keep my dancing
00:39:20At the pink pony club
00:39:22I'm gonna keep my dancing
00:39:24Down in West Hollywood
00:39:26I'm gonna keep my dancing
00:39:28At the pink pony club
00:39:30Pink pony club
00:39:31Pink pony club
00:39:33Don't think
00:39:35I've left you all behind
00:39:38Still love you in Tennessee
00:39:40You're always on my mind
00:39:42I heard
00:39:44That there's a special place
00:39:46That boys and girls
00:39:48Will all be queens
00:39:50Every single day
00:39:58We love you!
00:39:59We love you!
00:40:00We love you!
00:40:01It's beautiful!
00:40:02Come on!
00:40:04Come on!
00:40:06Come on!
00:40:08Come on!
00:40:10Come on!
00:40:12Come on!
00:40:13Come on!
00:40:14Come on!
00:40:15I mean
00:40:19What an absolute trooper you are, Lavoie!
00:40:22Oh my gosh
00:40:23You know
00:40:24I thought after last week
00:40:25People might think I'm above myself
00:40:26But I wanted
00:40:27It's time to come off my high horse
00:40:29And you know
00:40:30And just
00:40:31Let the real me in
00:40:32Well the horse should have been a lot higher
00:40:33And you would have been descending on the horse
00:40:35But unfortunately we are alive
00:40:36And that didn't happen
00:40:37We had a technical problem
00:40:38I know
00:40:39I'm quite pleased
00:40:40When they said I'm going to be suspended
00:40:41I thought what have I said now
00:40:42Well
00:40:43It was still an iconic entrance
00:40:45So have you
00:40:46And I love this
00:40:47Spectacular
00:40:48I've got a bath mat that matches
00:40:49We should speak
00:40:50Perfect
00:40:51Love it
00:40:55What did you think of that?
00:40:57How was that for you Motsy?
00:40:59I thought that was beautiful
00:41:01Sorry
00:41:02Sorry
00:41:03My mouth is like
00:41:05I thought that was beautiful
00:41:06I think
00:41:07You have a lot of potential
00:41:09I thought you had a beautiful posture
00:41:11I thought you have beautiful timing
00:41:12I love that it was clean
00:41:14When you are in
00:41:15During your transitions
00:41:16I love the gag at the end
00:41:18It worked
00:41:19So that's great
00:41:20You guys were so loud laughing at the back
00:41:22Thank you
00:41:23And
00:41:24Just a little bit more dynamic
00:41:26So that we don't have the same energy all the time
00:41:29But the queen was queening
00:41:31Thank you
00:41:32Thank you
00:41:33Thank you
00:41:34You are what we call a true diva
00:41:39That is
00:41:40I mean you are just that
00:41:41I mean amazing
00:41:42It's amazing to watch
00:41:43Now I notice that even when it's here talking to Tess
00:41:46Or it's in
00:41:47You take control
00:41:48You're quite in control
00:41:49Of what's going on
00:41:50And I want to give you a little tip about our Aliash
00:41:52He's got everything
00:41:54He knows everything there is to do about ballroom dancing
00:41:56So what I ask you to do is
00:41:58Listen a little bit more with your body
00:42:00Flow
00:42:01When he flows
00:42:02If you push too far forward with the middle of your tummy
00:42:04He's also going to clunk his feet
00:42:06I've never seen him do that in his life
00:42:07So you know
00:42:08It's okay to be the diva
00:42:09Okay
00:42:10But have a little listen to Aliash

00:43:03Good luck my love
00:43:04You're gonna need it
00:43:05You're gonna need it
00:43:06I felt like you needed to follow Aliash's lead just a little bit more
00:43:10But you took that to a whole new level of camp darling
00:43:15I loved it
00:43:16I think none of us can get enough of you we can't wait to see more of you next week

00:43:50Oh
00:43:51Oh
00:43:52Brilliant
00:43:53Oh my God
00:43:54And you coped with that beautifully because we know the horse should have been raised suddenly
00:43:58It wasn't really low
00:43:59I know there's nothing worse
00:44:00You know what it's like when you're like I thought I was gonna be on a raised carousel horse
00:44:03It's a daily thing for us isn't it
00:44:05It is
00:44:06And to find that the horse is lowered it was disappointing
00:44:08Somebody very special is in the audience watching you tonight
00:44:11Your dad Richard
00:44:12My dad Richard is here
00:44:14I'm so proud of you
00:44:15Oh
00:44:16Hello
00:44:17Hello
00:44:18Oh you know what
00:44:19He's amazing
00:44:20And we we lost my mom really recently and this is a really special time for him for us to do this together as a family
00:44:26Is just sparkly and light and love in the in a bit of a sad time so I'm so honored he's here
00:44:30He's nearly 80 in a few weeks if I'm still here
00:44:32Yes
00:44:33Unbelievable
00:44:34We have a birthday party for him
00:44:36Yes
00:44:37How wonderful for you to be with somebody who's falling in love with dancing
00:44:40Oh it's special you know I feel like we all love it you come back and you can't wait to create
00:44:45And but when you can sort of tell stories through American smooth and you know put a lovely twist on it
00:44:51And I think you were absolutely tremendous and I think that was the most beautiful first dance you could have done
00:44:56Yeah
00:44:57Thank you
00:44:58I'm so proud of it
00:44:59I'm so proud of it
00:45:00But I can't wait for you to fall in love with dance though

00:45:50Yes
00:45:51Thank you
00:45:52From his time on The Apprentice our next star is used to working hard in the hope of getting a few kind words from some harsh critics
00:45:59Luckily for all our couples no one's getting fired this week it is Tom Skinner and his partner Amy
00:46:04Strictly eh
00:46:06But you on with a brand new suit eh
00:46:08I have never had a buzz like I did on the launch show
00:46:11I really want to do well here like I'm so looking forward to it I'm going to be like a sponge and absorb it all
00:46:17Amy is the absolute governor and I don't think she's taking me stick
00:46:19I'm going to work on that posture
00:46:20Sit up now actually that's better
00:46:21There we go
00:46:22Fantastic
00:46:23I'm just getting sludge now
00:46:24What I love is like you're not holding back you'll have a good crack as you'd say
00:46:26And make people smile
00:46:27You're going to see that smile then
00:46:28Tom
00:46:30Yeah
00:46:31Tom
00:46:32Yeah
00:46:33I've got the perfect first dance Paso doble
00:46:34That's a boble
00:46:35It's fierce
00:46:36Yeah
00:46:37It's dominant
00:46:38I want you to be shaping I want you to be leading me the characterization you've got to be serious
00:46:46Is that your serious face?
00:46:48No
00:46:49No
00:46:50No
00:46:51No
00:46:52No
00:46:53No
00:46:54No
00:46:55No
00:46:56No
00:46:57No
00:46:58No
00:46:59No
00:47:00No

00:47:03No
00:47:04Never say sorry you don't know
00:47:05Listen
00:47:06I'm being I am starting from the bottom I ain't got a clue
00:47:09Do you remember what comes next?
00:47:12No
00:47:13I've got to really really concentrate and listen to Amy
00:47:18From the beginning
00:47:19Let's go
00:47:20I've got to work on everything from facial expressions to posture to footwork
00:47:25Just do it again
00:47:26Just do it again
00:47:27All I see is that
00:47:28With me
00:47:29Dunk to the yunk to the yunk
00:47:30I'm also going to put in a few tricks for risk element
00:47:34It's this stupid jumping gun
00:47:36So I think I do have my work cut out
00:47:39Come on
00:47:40You've got so many things to think about
00:47:41Like and I miss you bitch out
00:47:43But you do keep going
00:47:44I'll be listening to my partner every single step of the way
00:47:48And I'm going to believe in myself
00:47:50Do it for Amy Dad and do it for yourself
00:47:52Do it for me family
00:47:53Enjoyed a bit of dancing
00:47:58Dancing the Pasadena
00:48:00Thomas Skinner
00:48:01And Amy Dad
00:48:02Thank you
00:49:41I think she's quite pleased with you, your partner.
00:49:50You were selling that sun there, my darling, the light.
00:49:53You were selling that whole passo face throughout that, weren't you?
00:49:56Face from it, how was it?
00:49:57I think you were enjoying this more than you thought you were.
00:50:00Loved it, I honestly loved it so much.
00:50:02Let's see if you enjoy this part.
00:50:03Anton.
00:50:05Right, yes.
00:50:07Do you know what I liked about you was that I can see your studio situation now and Amy, the excellent teacher, would say, I want you to look left and you'd look left.
00:50:16I want you to wink on one and point on two and you're very literal.
00:50:20You'll do exactly as she asked you without anything else.
00:50:24And this is good, but you didn't add anything else.
00:50:28You added only what she asked you.
00:50:29I said, but fortunately for you, it's the Paso Doble, so you can get away with marching because it's a marching dance.
00:50:35And there was a lot of marching and a lot of sort of attitude about it.
00:50:39This was excellent for this dance.
00:50:42So well done, you.
00:50:43But I need a bit more next week.
00:50:45So good job tonight.
00:50:47That's all right.
00:50:48Great.
00:50:48Thank you, darling.
00:50:50Great.
00:50:51It was very square, flat and stumpy, and it was more tin soldier than it was matador, I'm afraid.
00:50:57It wasn't for me at all.
00:50:59Nazi.
00:51:00I'm making my job hard today.
00:51:03Save the day.
00:51:04Save the day.
00:51:05Well, Tom, I think you had direction.
00:51:07I think your spine was every time engaged in the movement.
00:51:11I saw lovely beginning moments where I see he's concentrated, listen to what Amy said.
00:51:18I think what we needed just slightly more is more shaping because it became very straight and, okay, I have to go there and go there and come back.
00:51:25So just more of a third dimensional movement in your body and then we'll get there.
00:51:34You too.
00:51:36Shirley.
00:51:37Well, Amy, I think you're a great teacher.
00:51:39You come out here and you always give, like, the basic start.
00:51:41I saw a 16.
00:51:42I saw flamenco taps, promenades, counter promenades.
00:51:45It was great.
00:51:45Paso Doble is built on a marching dance, like you said, but it's also built on an oval shape.
00:51:50And you're an A-star at the oval shape in Paso Doble.
00:51:54So I was quite impressed because that's not easy to do.
00:51:58You made no foot mistakes, as we've seen lots of mistakes today.
00:52:00You didn't make any mistakes.
00:52:02You kept your oval.
00:52:03Yes, could you have it a bit more twist?
00:52:04Yes, but everybody could have had a bit more of everything.
00:52:07But I was surprised and I was pleased with you.
00:52:09Well done.
00:52:10You're surprising.
00:52:13Some great feedback there, Tom.
00:52:15Well done.
00:52:15See you next week.
00:52:17Off you go.
00:52:17Get your scores.
00:52:18Tom and Amy.
00:52:18Thank you, everyone.
00:52:21You did amazing.
00:52:23Honestly, I'm so proud of you.
00:52:25Thanks, man.
00:52:25Yes.
00:52:26Lovely comment there from Headshard Shirley.
00:52:39No mistakes like the oval.
00:52:41Are you relieved?
00:52:42I'm over the moment.
00:52:43Yeah?
00:52:43How have you found the whole training situation?
00:52:47Well, I didn't know how to dance a couple of weeks ago.
00:52:49And, like, with Amy, I was scared at the start.
00:52:51You know what I mean?
00:52:52But she's been a great teacher.
00:52:53Yeah.
00:52:53Been working hard.
00:52:54She's fantastic.
00:52:55She is.
00:52:56She's utterly fantastic.
00:52:57He has been doing loads of homework, hasn't he?
00:52:59Oh, he has.
00:53:00But, unfortunately, on the wrong dance.
00:53:02So he came in and it was like,
00:53:03hey, last night I was watching loads of videos of professionals.
00:53:06We need closer contacts.
00:53:08And I need to do loads more heads.
00:53:09I was like, ooh, you've been watching the tango.
00:53:11It's on dance.
00:53:12It's fine.
00:53:13But he's been watching.
00:53:14That's very important.
00:53:15Honestly, he's loving it.
00:53:17And, come on, this is an absolute beginner.
00:53:19He's used to being in the market, bad posture.
00:53:22I've seen it myself.
00:53:23And I'm so proud of you.
00:53:24Honestly.
00:53:25Well done.
00:53:26Good luck.
00:53:27The scores are in.
00:53:29Will the judges please reveal their scores?
00:53:32Craig Revelholt.
00:53:33Two.
00:53:36Motsi Mabuse.
00:53:37Four.
00:53:38Yay!
00:53:39Shirley Ballas.
00:53:41Five.
00:53:41Yay!
00:53:43And Tom Dubek.
00:53:44Five.
00:53:45Yay!
00:53:46Well done.
00:53:4716.
00:53:4816.
00:53:49Tonight's judges' scores will be carried over and added to next week's when you can help decide who stays in the competition by voting for your favourite couple.
00:53:59Still to come, Dave Art takes on Adele.
00:54:02Ooh!
00:54:03Very good reaction.
00:54:05Tess.
00:54:06Can't wait.
00:54:07Our next couple tonight is actor and West End star Amber Davis and her partner Nikita.
00:54:11And to say it's been a whirlwind 24 hours for Amber will be an understatement.
00:54:16I'm very aware of the time limit that I've got until the live show.
00:54:26I'm going to just take every hour as it comes.
00:54:29Setting up the choreography at the last second is just mayhem.
00:54:33Oh my gosh, we're here.
00:54:35This is happening.
00:54:37Oh my gosh.
00:54:39Hello.
00:54:42Hello, my love.
00:54:43How are you feeling?
00:54:45I just keep going, what is my life?
00:54:47Do you have any dance experience?
00:54:49I'm in musical theatre.
00:54:50Great, great, great.
00:54:51However, I have never done ballroom, never done Latin.
00:54:54Do you want to find out the dance?
00:54:55Yeah, I do, I do.
00:54:56So, we are dancing the walls.
00:54:58Okay.
00:54:59Yes, to Adele when we were young.
00:55:02I've got goosebumps.
00:55:03Are you ready?
00:55:04I'm ready.
00:55:04Let's do this.
00:55:05Come on.
00:55:05Let's do it.
00:55:06Come on.
00:55:07You're actually a lot taller than I thought you were going to be.
00:55:10No effect.
00:55:11Yeah, no, television always makes me a bit smaller, yeah, I know.
00:55:14This is like a dream come true.
00:55:16Do you feel like Shirley Ballas?
00:55:17Yeah, I do.
00:55:18Yeah?
00:55:23Feel where I am.
00:55:24Shoulder it down.
00:55:25Stop.
00:55:26Oh, your head.
00:55:26Look at Pinel, lots to think about.
00:55:29Welcome to Strictly.
00:55:30Today's been like a crash course.
00:55:32I just want to write that in my notebook.
00:55:33How my brain works is I have to physically write everything down.
00:55:38The backseat, you're just, you're just enjoying your ride.
00:55:41Enjoy the ride.
00:55:42Yeah.
00:55:43Never wait, always move.
00:55:46It's a big one.
00:55:47I'm actually writing, enjoy the ride.
00:55:48I know, I can see.
00:55:49I'm incredibly impressed with Amber, especially from how much she's eager to learn.
00:55:53You're just writing everything.
00:55:55Nikita is so wonderful.
00:55:57He's really taken me under his wing.
00:56:00Nice.
00:56:01My brain has taken in as much information as it possibly can, but it's amazing.
00:56:07Beautiful.
00:56:08You got it?
00:56:08I got it.
00:56:09We've got it.
00:56:10We've got it.
00:56:11Come on.
00:56:11We've got this.
00:56:18Dancing the Roles.
00:56:19Amber Davis and Nikita Kutzman.
00:56:24Everybody loves the things you do, from the way you talk, to the way you do.
00:56:45I've been by myself all night long, hoping you're so good.
00:56:58I used to know you look like a movie.
00:57:08You sound like a song.
00:57:11My God, this reminds me of when we were young.
00:57:21Let me photograph you in this life, in case it is the last time that we're not.
00:57:31Be exactly like we were before.
00:57:36Let me photograph you in this life, in case it is the last time that we were young.
00:57:43It was just like a movie, it was just like a song, when we were young.
00:57:58I didn't think this was going to be my Saturday night.
00:58:24I bet you did.
00:58:25I didn't think it was less than 24 hours' notice.
00:58:27You did an absolutely beautiful job.
00:58:29What did you make of that waltz, Shirley?
00:58:31Well, quite emotional.
00:58:32If you'd have had two weeks like everybody else, you know, my mind boggles.
00:58:36This was outstanding.
00:58:38It had that elegant sophistication and beauty.
00:58:44It has this really ease of movement.
00:58:46Now you've got to concentrate on the footwork.
00:58:48I don't think you can't do everything in one day, but that was absolutely unbelievable.
00:58:54Miraculous, actually.
00:58:55Miraculous.
00:58:58There's the one time when I said, I don't care about the heels.
00:59:01Heels don't mess up.
00:59:02He just said, get moving, get moving.
00:59:04Just get moving, just get on the floor.
00:59:05And you were gorgeous.
00:59:07Yes.
00:59:07It really was.
00:59:08Anton.
00:59:09Well, I mean, you've only been doing it ten minutes, but, you know,
00:59:12I'm not going to judge you on what might have been.
00:59:15I'm going to talk about what you actually did, in fairness to everybody else.
00:59:18And it was lovely.
00:59:19I mean, the feel was gorgeous.
00:59:21I mean, I'm looking forward enormously to what you're going to perform
00:59:24because it's going to be absolutely beautiful.
00:59:26The feel was gorgeous.
00:59:27Your musicality is lovely.
00:59:28Your frame obviously needs a bit of work.
00:59:31Potential.
00:59:31Yeah, I mean, enormous potential.
00:59:34Have the confidence to strike forward on the heel
00:59:37because that will just improve your movement no end.
00:59:39But, you know, lots to love.
00:59:43Thank you so much.
00:59:45Thanks.
00:59:45I felt the footwork was way too balletic, but that can be fixed.
00:59:51But, darling, thank you very much.
00:59:54But you are naturally blessed with the neck of a flamingo, darling.
00:59:58Long, elegant lines, which you can't buy or purchase.
01:00:03So, um, and your arms are absolutely exquisite.
01:00:07Divine.
01:00:07Wow.
01:00:09Thank you so much.
01:00:10From him.
01:00:12Now, by the way.
01:00:13Great, by the way.
01:00:14Mozzie.
01:00:15More than everything, I love the connection and I love the atmosphere that you both created.
01:00:20And every time you went to a line, and we don't see this quite often, is that you added an extension.
01:00:26So you kept on moving within the music and then continued.
01:00:30That is very, very special.
01:00:32So, this is a dynamite package, and I can't wait to see what you guys are bringing.
01:00:38Oh, nice.
01:00:40So far, the star.
01:00:42So well done.
01:00:43Thank you for joining us, Amber.
01:00:45We loved it.
01:00:46Amber and Nikita.
01:00:48Thank you so much.
01:00:50Oh, my God.
01:00:52Oh, my God.
01:00:53Oh, my God.
01:00:54Oh, my God.
01:00:55Oh, my God.
01:00:56Oh, my God.
01:00:57Well done.
01:00:59Amber, I mean, I know you were shaking before.
01:01:03What a 48 hours you've had.
01:01:06Has it sort of all sunk in yet?
01:01:08No, not really.
01:01:09It started with the Waltz Crash Course, you know, and then it was just full steam ahead from there.
01:01:14But everybody has been so welcoming.
01:01:17And this boy, so thank you so much.
01:01:21Nikita, you've had also quite a time.
01:01:25Oh, Claude, yeah.
01:01:26Honestly, what an overwhelming week.
01:01:29I, for the first time, was blanking during my choreography.
01:01:32It's just been everything so quick.
01:01:33But to be honest, I just want to mention Dani.
01:01:36Yes.
01:01:37Yeah.
01:01:37Because Dani is such a sweet girl.
01:01:41And it was really, really a sad moment.
01:01:43But I don't know, Dani, if you're watching, I hope that we can get to finish our quick step one day.
01:01:47And I love you loads.
01:01:48And as well, Amber, I have so much respect for you.
01:01:54This is madness.
01:01:55You're so brave.
01:01:58And I have so much respect.
01:01:59And frankly, I was unemployed for two days and I cleaned my house seven times and I applied for a Tesco Club card.
01:02:04So thank you.
01:02:05You saved me from all of that.
01:02:07You are incredible.
01:02:09You are incredible.
01:02:09Can I just also say there are other supermarkets?
01:02:13The judges have their scores.
01:02:18Craig Revelhall.
01:02:19Seven.
01:02:22Motsi Mabusa.
01:02:23Seven.
01:02:26Shirley Ballard.
01:02:26Seven.
01:02:27And Tom Dubek.
01:02:30Six.
01:02:33Amazing.
01:02:34Amazing.
01:02:36Please remember, if you want to vote for your favourite couple next week, you must be registered and logged in.
01:02:42You can do that right now.
01:02:44There is just one couple left to perform.
01:02:47These two are in shock.
01:02:48Tes.
01:02:49Our final star played for England over 140 times.
01:02:53But tonight, she earns her first cap for Strictly.
01:02:56It is Karen Carney and her partner Carlos with a jive.
01:03:00I want to live and breathe every single moment of this, however uncomfortable I might feel.
01:03:10I'm a trainer girl and my version of sexy is like a half-volley, but we're going to give it a best shot.
01:03:16Carlos asks everything that I need to come out of my comfort zone.
01:03:22Fabulous.
01:03:23Oh, that was not bad.
01:03:25Can I take that?
01:03:26My goal is for Karen to transform from Caterpillar into Butterfly.
01:03:30Oh, really?
01:03:32Yeah.
01:03:34Hello.
01:03:35Good morning.
01:03:36What are we doing?
01:03:37We're doing jive.
01:03:39Jive, we're doing a jive.
01:03:41No, no, one.
01:03:43You're trying to kick a football.
01:03:44Carlos is saying everything you did in football, it's the opposite.
01:03:47You're trying to do this, one, no, it's a one.
01:03:50How could kick it be so different?
01:03:52I haven't pushed myself this hard since I played, which was, you know, six years ago, but I'm really enjoying the challenge.
01:04:01I want to make your transition from the football pitch to the dance floor as smooth as possible.
01:04:07If you did something wrong, yellow card, but whenever you see a red card, you're in a big trouble.
01:04:13I mean, I've met some sassy refs, but I think you're up there.
01:04:19I think it has gone to his head.
01:04:22Red.
01:04:23What for?
01:04:24Posture.
01:04:25Why a dance teacher doesn't have whistles in their training room?
01:04:29It feels fabulous.
01:04:31Has it aided the transition from the football pitch to the dance floor?
01:04:36Um, no.
01:04:39But, to be fair, I don't think I've ever met a more fabulous referee in my life.
01:04:43I love the dance.
01:04:44I love doing it with Carlos, and I'm so excited.
01:04:47Brilliant.
01:04:48That was great.
01:04:53Dancing the Jug, Karen Carney and Carlos Gudi.
01:04:56One way or another I'm gonna find you I'm gonna get you, get you, get you, get you
01:05:15One way or another I'm gonna meet you I'm gonna get you, get you, get you, get you
01:05:21One way or another I'm gonna see you I'm gonna meet you, meet you, meet you
01:05:26I'm going to meet you, meet you one day, maybe next week, I'm going to meet you, I'm going to meet you, I'm going to meet you, I'm going to meet you, I'm going to meet you, I will dry and last your house again, yeah, the lights are all down, I'll see the wounds go out, yeah.
01:05:49One way or another, I'm going to lose you, I'm going to get you, get you, get you, get you, get you one way or another, I'm going to meet you, I'll get you, I'll get you.
01:06:02Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:06:32Oh
01:07:02It just happened
01:07:04You just brought the house down
01:07:06Thanks for having me
01:07:08Thank you for being here, your energy
01:07:10I mean Carlos, you could have the kpop
01:07:12Harley
01:07:13I cannot wait to hear this
01:07:15What did you think Motsi?
01:07:16Wow
01:07:17Wow
01:07:18I mean
01:07:23I just have to be honest here
01:07:26I have never seen anything like that
01:07:28The compactness in your centre
01:07:31Keeping everything close to your centre
01:07:33And pump, pump, pump, pump, pump
01:07:36I love you
01:07:37And this man is turning you in and out
01:07:40Left, right
01:07:41And you are giving it all
01:07:43It felt like this is the last dance you will ever dance
01:07:46Ever
01:07:47But it was your first dance
01:07:48Amazing, great show tonight
01:07:50Wow
01:07:54Speechless
01:07:55I mean, surely
01:07:56Carlos, I want you to do something for me
01:07:58Because this action took you years and years to get
01:08:00Slip your standing foot and hit your bottom with your non-standing foot
01:08:03Do some flicks for me
01:08:04And
01:08:05A kick, a kick, a kick, a kick
01:08:06Now let me tell you
01:08:07In all the years of my being on this show
01:08:09I have never seen a female dancer be able to do that
01:08:12Oh
01:08:14And you did it like a top
01:08:15Oh
01:08:16Thank you
01:08:17Thank you
01:08:18Thank you
01:08:19And you also
01:08:20That little hustle step
01:08:21That came from my ex-husband Corki Ballas
01:08:23Corky ballast who put it in in our drive so that was kind of sweet as well, but generally overall high energy
01:08:28It was just sensational best dance of the night for me
01:08:40Sometimes I don't watch the the celebrities I end up watching the pros when they're this good and you can tell how good it's going because the pros are
01:08:53It is just it since that that is the way to end a show with the best dance of the night
01:09:06Would have liked to have seen some softer edges
01:09:17I cannot believe you did a double tour on there. I mean that is just ridiculous
01:09:22I was not expecting any of that my darling
01:09:28You are a sensation you absolutely smashed it
01:09:34Great crowd everyone. Thank you
01:09:52You I mean those judges comments you look so shocked and you are so adorable as you just say to everyone
01:10:06Thanks so much for having me. Yeah, thank you for taking our heart. Well, it's you know what everyone did a great job honestly
01:10:12It's been an amazing show, wasn't it?
01:10:18Honestly, I'm really emotional. I know it must have been so nerve-wracking going lost. Yeah
01:10:24Yeah, and because everyone did so well so well done by snow bracket way in and I'm really hungry
01:10:29I
01:10:31I will get you whatever you want to eat your mum Marie is in the order. She's a big Strictly fan specifically
01:10:37She loves
01:10:43I used to get messages like love you Karen good luck and now it's love you Carlos. I have a great show and he's hijacked me
01:10:48He deserves it though. He's phenomenal and I'm so grateful to have you. Thanks. You are both fantastic good luck the scores are in
01:10:56The judges scores are eight
01:10:58Craig Revell Hall
01:11:00Seven
01:11:04Moxie Mabuse
01:11:06Eight
01:11:08Shirley Bouch
01:11:10Eight
01:11:12And Tom Dubek
01:11:14Eight
01:11:24The last time a footballer tops the leaderboard was 18 years ago
01:11:32No way!
01:11:34That's you and you just did it. You just did it!
01:11:36Congratulations
01:11:38You both did it
01:11:40The QR code is back for one final time tonight. Excellent. I almost missed him
01:11:45Please scan it to get all the information on how to register to vote
01:11:48Or go to bbc.co.uk forward slash strictly to prepare for next week
01:11:53And that is it. It is time to take a look at tonight's leaderboard
01:11:58Up at the top is Kaz and Carlos of 31
01:12:02Then it's Lewis
01:12:04Then it's Jimmy
01:12:06And Amber
01:12:07They both are 27
01:12:09At the other end
01:12:11We've got Ross and Evita with 10
01:12:13Chris and Nadia with 14
01:12:15And Tom and Amy with 16
01:12:17That is how things stand
01:12:19But it is all too grateful next week
01:12:22When things are changing
01:12:24In our culture
01:12:34For seven years
01:12:36I've been responsible
01:12:38For one grueling decision
01:12:40As head judge Shirley
01:12:42Has the casting vote
01:12:44Whichever couple she now chooses
01:12:46Will stay
01:12:47In Strictly Come Dancing
01:12:49Are you ready for
01:12:51Let's get my action
01:12:53Which hasn't always been easy
01:12:55I'm gonna disagree
01:12:56Really lovely
01:12:57To not listen to them
01:12:58Me too
01:12:59They can go at it
01:13:00Whatever
01:13:01Whatever
01:13:02But that's about to change
01:13:05It's time that power was shared
01:13:08Wow, wow, wow
01:13:09I am stunned
01:13:10Absolutely brilliant
01:13:11Fantastic
01:13:14By a different judge
01:13:16Each week
01:13:20This changes everything
01:13:21What a twist
01:13:22I just can't believe it
01:13:23I was nervous
01:13:24But this is another level
01:13:25They've been ramped up tenfold
01:13:26So it might be down to Craig
01:13:28Is it too late to run away?
01:13:29That makes me a bit nervous
01:13:31It's fair to say
01:13:32I'm gonna do everything I can do
01:13:33To not be in that dance-off
01:13:34Oh, it's gonna be very interesting
01:13:36Isn't it?
01:13:37You can find out which of our judges has the first casting vote at the end of next Saturday's show
01:13:53Congratulations to all of our brilliant couples
01:13:56Next week
01:13:57Next week they will return to the dance floor
01:13:59And for the first time this series
01:14:01You will get to show your support by voting for your favourite
01:14:05And in next week's result show
01:14:07We'll combine your votes with the judges' scores
01:14:09And the bottom two couples will face each other in the dance-off
01:14:12For one of these couples their Strictly journey will end next weekend
01:14:17This week all of our couples will be joining Fleur and Jeanette on It Takes Two
01:14:22Which is back on Monday at 6.30 on BBC Two
01:14:25We'll be back next Saturday at 6.20
01:14:28Until then Claude, shall we?
01:14:30It's essential we do
01:14:31Should we do it all?
01:14:32Come, wiggling
01:14:33How are we gonna do this as a group?
01:14:34As an ensemble?
01:14:35Wow
01:14:36He does it!
