00:00:00This is beginning to feel
00:00:29very real
00:00:30There's no turning back
00:00:34The pressure is mounting
00:00:37The famous L Street Studios
00:00:41The home of Strictly Come Dancing
00:00:42I do live TV
00:00:46But this is very different
00:00:49It hasn't really fully hit me yet
00:00:53I'm so out of my comfort zone
00:00:57I'm trying not to think too much about the pressure
00:00:59I'm going to give it my best shot
00:01:01I have never done anything like this before
00:01:03My stomach is in knots
00:01:05Right, here we go
00:01:08I can't quite believe that this is happening

00:06:37Live from the BBC, this is Strictly Come Dancing.
00:06:43Welcome to Strictly Come Dancing and the first live show of 2025.
00:07:05It is so lovely to be back in the ballroom with you for another series.
00:07:13A huge thank you to choreographer Jason Gilkinson, our professionals and our judges for that incredible dance.
00:07:21We'll be right back in the show this weekend, which means none of our couples are going home.
00:07:31But they do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them, but they do still have to face these four.
00:07:33But they do still have to face these four.
00:07:33Please welcome the judges.
00:07:36They do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them.
00:07:42They do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them.
00:07:49They do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them.
00:07:56They do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them.
00:08:08They do still have to face them, but they do still have to face them.
00:08:12Thank you so much judges.
00:08:16Now before we get started, earlier this week Danny Dyer had to withdraw from the competition on medical advice after sustaining an injury in the world.
00:08:25Danny, we will miss you so much, and all of us are sending you all our love.
00:08:31Lots of love Danny.
00:08:32Now we do have a new face joining the cast, and she is incredibly nervous, as are the rest of our couples.
00:08:41So let's make them feel at home, shall we?
00:08:44And welcome our Strictly Stars.
00:08:47Happy Girls!
00:08:50Manuel pinky Slip Harry A. K. Sariti and his partner Karen Howard.

00:10:01Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank and his partner Lauren Oakley.
00:10:04And finally Amber Davis and her partner Nikita Kunz.
00:10:10I'm so excited and I just can't mind.
00:10:16I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.
00:10:21I'm so excited and I just can't mind.
00:10:25I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I want you, I want you.
00:10:31A huge hello to Amber.
00:10:45I mean, my goodness.
00:10:46I thought...
00:10:47Welcome Amber.
00:10:51You are all at the start of what we hope is an amazing adventure.
00:10:57And opening the series now with the Samba, it is Chris Robshaw and his partner, Nadia.
00:11:07I've had a lot of compliments about the suit.
00:11:09With rugby, it's a very structured game.
00:11:11We have patterns we play.
00:11:12So hopefully I can remember the moves.
00:11:15Can I make it look good?
00:11:17It's a different story.
00:11:19In my head, I feel a little bit like Zac Efron.
00:11:22But I'm more like an elephant stomping around.
00:11:25Nadia's got to work it out.
00:11:27I'm really looking forward to bringing out the Chris who loves to perform.
00:11:34I think he's there.
00:11:35Somewhere maybe.
00:11:36I haven't seen him yet.
00:11:41Here he is.
00:11:43How are you?
00:11:43I'm ready to try and dance.
00:11:45Do you want to find out which dance are we doing?
00:11:48Let's.
00:11:49It's going to be the Samba.
00:11:52Perfect.
00:11:52How does that go?
00:11:54Love hips and bounce.
00:11:56A lot of things which probably don't necessarily go alongside what I'm normally about.
00:12:01Hip roll, hip roll, quick, quick.
00:12:05His hips don't lie, but we're in the process of loosening them up.
00:12:10Hips together with the knee.
00:12:11I'm just going to do one at a time.
00:12:16Nadia's put me through my paces.
00:12:20I think it's only fair now.
00:12:21We turn Samba into scrums.
00:12:24Uh, scrums?
00:12:27Don't worry.
00:12:28You're going to learn a lot today.
00:12:29You have to get in front of me.
00:12:30Hip, you have to get in front.
00:12:31I don't understand.
00:12:34I think Nadia has as much as it takes to go pro.
00:12:37No control.
00:12:38As I do a pro dancer.
00:12:41Big H for hips.
00:12:45Every time I look at rugby post now, I'm just going to see hips.
00:12:49We've done the Samba.
00:12:50We've done the rugby.
00:12:50It's time to get to the ballroom.
00:12:52Let's go.
00:12:59Dancing the Samba.
00:13:00Chris Robshaw and Nadia Bishkova.
00:13:02You burn me with your questions.
00:13:21You'd have me turn on lies.
00:13:23You're always asking what it's all about.
00:13:25Don't listen to my replies.
00:13:28You say to me I don't talk enough.
00:13:30But when I do, I'm a fool.
00:13:32These times I've spent, I've realized.
00:13:35I'm going to shoot through and leave you.
00:13:37The things you say.
00:13:40Your purple bros just give you away.
00:13:42The things you say.
00:13:45You're unbelievable.
00:13:47Go!
00:13:48Bring it up!
00:13:51What for?
00:13:53What?
00:13:53What?
00:13:54What?
00:13:55What?
00:13:56Silly last words don't mean you can ask us.
00:13:59Pushing down the relative, bringing out the hurt.
00:14:01So I'm thinking of the fine times.
00:14:02To put it down the relative, instead of bringing out.
00:14:04It's unbelievable.
00:14:06The things you say.
00:14:08Your purple bros just give you away.
00:14:10The things you say.
00:14:13Before I go on.
00:14:15The things you say.
00:14:17Your purple bros just give you away.
00:14:20The things you say.
00:14:23You're unbelievable.
00:14:24You're unbelievable.
00:14:30You're so unbelievable.
00:14:42You're unbelievable.
00:14:43I'm going to throw the ball.
00:14:44APPLAUSE
00:14:59Well done, Chris. Come on, Lippy.
00:15:01Have a little bit of luck.
00:15:04I mean, come on.
00:15:06Coming
00:15:10Opening the show and the Red Roses won the World Cup. What a day for
00:15:17Yeah, right at home I'm dance floor by the way Chris
00:15:22I mean 10 days ago
00:15:23I didn't even know what the samba was so to be here now was some achievement amazing teachers
00:15:28I mean
00:15:34Okay, let's ask Motsy how were those hips Motsy? Yeah, those hips were there
00:15:39We saw that you came running down the stairs with the intention like the captain
00:15:43I am going to be a winner of December and then you went on the dance floor a lot of focus on neither
00:15:50Which I understand because right hard not to yet
00:15:53Well, he needs some orientation and you've got now
00:15:56I saw a lot of steps that I recognize the work samba promenade runs. I saw some volters
00:16:02I think that you have a strong work ethic. I think you can go back on the
00:16:08the
00:16:09practice room and really really try to think of all those fundamentals that we need like heels and where am I looking?
00:16:17Where's my posture and I do believe that we can get there
00:16:20Well, I was quite impressed
00:16:26When you came down that you didn't look nervous and I think that you've got the actual frame probably of a ballroom dancer
00:16:32As well, so we've got some good ingredients in the bag for sure
00:16:36There was some timing issues a little bit for me along the way here some timing issues
00:16:40I'm sure that you know a little bit on the flat feet
00:16:42So we have a competition got plenty of time to go
00:16:45No heel leads in certain steps that you're doing quarter jacket. Yes, of course at the end
00:16:50But generally your weight is a little bit too far back and it's a little bit clunky in the heels
00:16:54But you do show great promise, and I'm loving that postural position
00:17:11I was I mean I have a relationship with the samba and I I think you missed a trick when you started up there
00:17:17If it was me I'd have stayed up there for much much longer
00:17:20You know got away with only half a routine. It was it was a very good effort. I enjoyed your
00:17:26Effort and the way you focused. I don't think Nadia has been looked at quite that intensely
00:17:33You were here for the whole of the dance
00:17:35Intent thing I've ever seen in my life. I enjoyed it. It was a very good effort
00:17:38You did all the choreography
00:17:39Volt across is the quarter jackas. You had a little bit of a roll over there reverse rock marvellous good job
00:17:44You've got the samba out the way hooray
00:17:50Oh
00:17:52There in mind Craig is probably the toughest dance to start with
00:17:55Uh, yeah, it is but sadly it lacked any fluidity. It lacked the bounce needed
00:18:01It lacked the hip action. It was actually quite
00:18:04Disconnected unfortunately now also your arms need sorting out as well as your hands
00:18:10I thought the whole thing was very heavy and very stiff
00:18:16Welcome to Strictly come down
00:18:19Thank you so much. We all thought he was brilliant
00:18:25And we're all thank you so much
00:18:27Chris and Nadia
00:18:29We're so hard to go first were you nervous because shirley said i didn't see any nerves but you must have been a bit like oh
00:18:47I was nervous yet for sure to go out there first and dance nothing like that, but it was amazing amazing experience loved it
00:18:54Yeah, yeah a bit of work to do maybe
00:18:56No i'm sure he was the captain so he can control his nerves and emotions but i could feel it but i think he just he was amazing i mean to open the shell
00:19:04With the jumper
00:19:09There is a massive upside though in going first because your little boy was allowed to stay up yeah he's up at home so i love you
00:19:17Dance in the morning
00:19:20Maybe not that one up to you um now do you want him to be more duck more duck yes it's all about
00:19:26Well i was trying to explain him the posture that need the weight needs to be a little bit more forward
00:19:31Chest out they look like a dancer he was like it's like a duck so okay if duck works for you then be more
00:19:37Be more duck love ducks good luck that's a different story good luck scores are in

00:25:22The drama
00:25:28And you could not wait to come out here and perform that
00:25:34Yes, I was desperate to share it with everybody
00:25:36Well, that was wonderful
00:25:38We enjoyed every moment, Shirley, I hope you did too
00:25:41Well, I think that was off to a great start
00:25:43I mean, we saw some beautiful movement across the floor
00:25:46Could have flew flat a little bit more
00:25:48But you know what, for the first dance
00:25:49I was very, very happy with that
00:25:51Your passion and your intensity
00:25:54The actress in you
00:25:55The movements
00:25:56The direct focus
00:25:57All that I loved
00:25:58Now, you're going to get lots more ballroom dancers
00:26:00So this little left hand that you have on Johannes
00:26:03I want it to look
00:26:05Can you stand up, Shirley?
00:26:05Yes, I most certainly can
00:26:07A little bit like a butterfly
00:26:09Don't hang on his arm
00:26:10Okay
00:26:11And underneath, people used to call these my bingo wings
00:26:14Whatever, whatever
00:26:15Whatever, you know
00:26:16But you can hold your lovely arms up
00:26:18And hold them yourself
00:26:19Without pressing down a little bit
00:26:21But you are doing extremely well
00:26:24We said that, didn't we?
00:26:25Yes, thank you
00:26:25Very good
00:26:26Thank you
00:26:27Our head judge is happy
00:26:30Are you happy, Anna?
00:26:31I felt I needed to stand for that moment
00:26:33I'm glad you did
00:26:34Thank you
00:26:34I must stand
00:26:36I'm going to give you this one
00:26:37I'm going to give you this one this week
00:26:39Because it was really good
00:26:41And, Johannes, you're very, very clever
00:26:44You're very clever
00:26:46Handsome
00:26:47Handsome, talented
00:26:48But also clever
00:26:49But for this week, you can have that one for free
00:26:52There wasn't quite enough in hold
00:26:55Now, if we're going to do more ball and dances
00:26:58We'd like a little bit longer in hold
00:27:00Because the hold was good
00:27:02You came out of it too soon and stayed out of it
00:27:05I'd like to have seen a bit more in hold
00:27:06Because as Shirley said
00:27:08There's a lot to like
00:27:09I love the atmosphere you created
00:27:11I love the drama that you created
00:27:12You gave a new feel to an old-fashioned dance
00:27:15And I really, really enjoyed it
00:27:17So, all in all, it was a super-duper Viennese Wolves
00:27:20Well done
00:27:21Thank you
00:27:22Super-duper comments so far
00:27:25Craig, don't spoil
00:27:26The shoulders, unfortunately, were raised
00:27:28It was very lumpy for my liking
00:27:31There was way too much rise and fall
00:27:34It should be very limited
00:27:36And you should try and dance this dance flat
00:27:39But you know what?
00:27:40I did love the drama in it
00:27:42Because that was full of intent
00:27:44Yes
00:27:45We love drama
00:27:46We love drama
00:27:48Marty
00:27:48You know, Alex
00:27:50I love this combination
00:27:52I love the both of you
00:27:53You guys created something so special
00:27:56Within a short space of time
00:27:57So I'm really looking forward to see
00:27:59Where this journey is going to
00:28:01I think you moved like a slick fox
00:28:05You came down those stairs
00:28:07You were walking like this
00:28:09Nothing there
00:28:10You're like, oh, Johannes
00:28:12And then you got together
00:28:13It was smooth
00:28:14You were so into it
00:28:16Emotionally
00:28:17You gave us a performance
00:28:19Technique, technique, yes
00:28:21But do not forget to dance like that
00:28:23Every single time
00:28:24Congrats, Sarah

00:28:28You've got to be very pleased with that
00:28:30So well done

00:29:07Ever?
00:29:08Well, I mean, hopefully not ever
00:29:10But certainly when I'm dancing
00:29:12When I'm dancing with Jojo
00:29:14Because in ballroom
00:29:15I tend to sort of sit down
00:29:17When I'm about to sort of
00:29:18Do a natural move
00:29:20And it looks like I'm sitting on the toilet
00:29:22OK
00:29:23I'm so bad
00:29:25You know I'd have asked something different
00:29:26If I mean that was
00:29:28You're having the time of your life, aren't you, Jojo?
00:29:29I absolutely am, my darling
00:29:31I mean, she's introduced me to a few things
00:29:33And I'm absolutely loving how we
00:29:35The toilet?
00:29:36Not the toilet
00:29:38But I've learned a new way of warming up
00:29:40Play the music
00:29:41Yeah
00:29:42And just feel it
00:29:43And see where it takes you
00:29:44Yes
00:29:45Oh
00:29:46Yes, yes
00:29:47We do sort of interpretive dance
00:29:48Every week
00:29:49I love that
00:29:50Yes
00:29:51I did that once in 1986
00:29:52The scores are in
00:29:54Will the judges please reveal their scores?
00:29:57Craig Revelhorn
00:29:58Four
00:29:59No
00:30:00No
00:30:01No

00:30:33Thank you so much
00:30:34Thank you
00:30:35Our next star is an Olympian and a gladiator
00:30:38But has he met his match with the cha-cha?
00:30:40It's Harry Akin Zariti and his partner Karen
00:30:47I guess it's go time
00:30:49We're having to remember a routine and bring the flavour, bring the sauce to millions of viewers at home
00:30:55That does make me a bit nervous
00:30:57I mean, he's got energy for everyone
00:30:59We're all laid back
00:31:00So we balance each other out a little bit
00:31:01Harry's very strong
00:31:02So I am looking forward to being lifted
00:31:03You know, I want
00:31:04One, two, three
00:31:05Oh my gosh
00:31:06Day one, first day of training
00:31:07I'm doing the cha-cha-cha
00:31:08Or some say cha-cha darling
00:31:09How good I look
00:31:10Look at these muachas
00:31:12Harry's very muscular and I think sometimes that can affect his posture and affect where he places his body
00:31:19I want you to think of that center
00:31:20I didn't realise the cha-cha-cha meant space, space, space
00:31:35This is your new home
00:31:38This is your new home.
00:31:41Day one done.
00:31:43It's been a great day.
00:31:44I'm excited for my brain to marinate the steps
00:31:46and see what it retains for tomorrow.
00:31:49Harry has invited me down to his gym,
00:31:51which apparently it's his happy place.
00:31:55Karen took to the Gladiator workout pretty well.
00:31:57Yes, Harry, give me more!
00:31:58More, but doing Strictly requires a different set of skills.
00:32:02The Strictly workout, it involves resistance,
00:32:05it involves rotation.
00:32:07It's not about strength.
00:32:08It's about moving your body effortlessly.
00:32:11I see a massive change in your frame.
00:32:13You're breathing through it now as well.
00:32:16It's fair to say I didn't think this process
00:32:18was going to be as hard as it was.
00:32:19My muscles are absolutely burning.
00:32:21Good teacher, this one, isn't it?
00:32:22I'm all right.
00:32:23She's all right.
00:32:24But look, I'm so excited for Saturday nights.
00:32:26Let's bring it on.
00:32:31Dancing the Cha-Cha,
00:32:32Harry Akin-Zariti and Karen Howard.
00:32:36Cha-cha-cha-cha!
00:32:37Cha-cha-cha-cha!
00:32:38Cha-cha-cha-cha!
00:32:39Cha-cha-cha-cha!
00:32:40Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!
00:32:40Cha-cha-cha-cha!
00:32:41Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!
00:32:42Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!
00:32:43Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!
00:32:43Oh, baby.
00:32:51So, if heaven's here and we're in effect,
00:32:54want you to push it back.
00:32:56Foolin' by day, then at night,
00:32:58we're workin' up and sweat.
00:33:00Come on, girls, let's go show the guys
00:33:02that we know how to become number one
00:33:05in the hot party show.
00:33:07Now push it.
00:33:08Push it.
00:33:10Push it.
00:33:10Push it.
00:33:12Push it real good.

00:33:24Get on the floor if you got, you got, you got.
00:33:26Get on, get on the floor if you get on the floor
00:33:29if you got that too shit.
00:33:30Ooh, baby, baby.
00:33:32Get on the baby, baby.
00:33:33Ooh, baby, baby.
00:33:35Got the baby, baby.
00:33:40Push it good.
00:33:42We're pushing real good.
00:33:45Push it good.
00:33:51Get up on this.
00:33:55Get up on this.
00:33:59Get up on this.
00:34:06Get up on this.
00:34:08Get up on this.
00:34:13Go, go on.
00:34:15Go.
00:34:16Go, go, buddy.
00:34:22Go on.
00:34:27Go, go.
00:34:29Go, go.
00:34:30Go, go.
00:34:31Oh my darling, oh my goodness, this is sorry, I mean, you okay, honey, you all right, yeah, just um, talk to me, it's a, go on, what's wrong
00:34:48This sun last year, I just, I wasn't able to do anything like that, and I never thought I'd be myself again, it just feels so nice to be myself
00:34:56You had an injury
00:34:57I had an injury, and I didn't know if I'd be able to walk, run
00:35:01And, yeah, just feel emotional, and it's just, I've dreamt of that moment, and even though I did Christmas, I wasn't 100%, no, I'm here, I'm 100%, so I'm thankful
00:35:11Well, you should be so proud of you, right now
00:35:14Come on
00:35:15We are so proud of you, you own that out there, and thank you so much for a little bit of salt and pepper from Dave Arch
00:35:22Thank you Dave, it's brilliant, and fantastic live singers
00:35:28Harry, we love you to bits, but brace yourself, because we are going to Craig now
00:35:32It's all good, it's all good
00:35:34The timing was out, as you're fully aware, I'm sure
00:35:37Oh Craig, you're 30
00:35:38And I'd like to see a little bit more freedom in the hip department, I've got to be honest
00:35:42For me, it was two boogie nights, and all strut
00:35:46Um, the footwork was very haphazard as well, and push-ups darling, and not in the chan-chan-chan
00:35:55Delivered
00:35:57They are now, they should be
00:35:59Marcie
00:36:01Well, yes, the nervousness I could feel, in the very beginning you were out of it, but you came back in
00:36:09And you know, I always ask for salt and pepper, a little bit of flavour, but you gave us salt, pepper, curry, oregano, everything
00:36:16You were invited, give it, give it
00:36:19Love it, keep the enthusiasm, as Craig said, just clean it up, clean it up
00:36:23Clean it up, clean it up, these are the first weeks
00:36:25Concentrate on the foundation, concentrate on getting the steps, what dance am I doing
00:36:29But keep this energy, and it was so entertaining
00:36:32Thank you, Marcie, it really was
00:36:35And in 60 years of doing the chan-chan-chan, I've never quite seen one like that
00:36:40But let me tell you, you've got a viral moment in there
00:36:42It's gonna be on TikTok, that push-up button
00:36:45You're gonna try that with me when we get back
00:36:47Oh, I can't wait
00:36:49You stood on there, and you, what your natural act is, you've got that pop going, you know
00:36:53And you can put that in the cha-cha-cha, I really liked it
00:36:56Karen couldn't see you, but behind he was on the wrong foot
00:36:59But what was amazing is how quick he picked it up
00:37:01Yeah
00:37:02It's okay to go wrong, it's how quick you pick it up, you picked it up really quick
00:37:05Cheeky! Cheeky! Chatting!
00:37:08Can I just add, children, I'm a gladiator, I've got to say this to kids, so please don't try that at home
00:37:13Adults, feel free, do what you want to do, but for the kids, please don't try that
00:37:17All in all, I can see you're a bit nervous, all in all, you did a grand job
00:37:21And it was a new take on the cha-cha-chan
00:37:23Thank you
00:37:24Well done you
00:37:25Well done Shirley
00:37:26Anton
00:37:27Yeah, I mean, you've got a, it's a thing, isn't it?
00:37:30It's a whole thing, you've got a thing going on with the thing and the thing
00:37:34Shirley, come on, let's do it now
00:37:36Come on, quick, come on
00:37:38Yeah
00:37:39Whoo
00:37:44You can see this at home
00:37:46Anita, Anton, Anton, do you want to ride? Do you want to ride?
00:37:48Come on, let's do it
00:37:49Come on, come on
00:37:50Let's do it
00:37:51No, no, get on him
00:37:52You get off, get off
00:37:53You get off, when
00:37:54hold on, hold on
00:37:55Don't the other way
00:37:56No, no, no, no
00:37:57Come on
00:37:58No
00:37:59No
00:38:01Come on
00:38:04Come on
00:38:05No
00:38:07Come on. It's gotta be ten. Twelve. What the hell?
00:38:21I don't think any of us will ever forget. Thank you, Harry.
00:38:30Let's go, people.
00:38:37That was amazing. We were screaming up here when you did that with Anton.
00:38:47You did get emotional. It's a lot, isn't it?
00:38:49Yeah, to be fair, however I look, I'm a soft, cuddly toy on the inside.
00:38:55And this last year has been amazing because so many amazing things have happened,
00:38:59but equally at the same time, when you're in...
00:39:01All of us are special individuals and, you know, when something's taken away from you
00:39:06and you don't know if you're going to be there again.
00:39:08I've worked so hard to get back to be able to be myself, so that in itself is just...
00:39:14Well done. You did so brilliantly. You really did.
00:39:18And I love the fact that you can read him already.
00:39:20Yes, I mean, I knew something happened behind me.
00:39:23Because I thought I heard a couple of oohs and I was like...
00:39:26But then I turned around and he was there.
00:39:28And I was like, okay, so let's go.
00:39:30And I'm sorry.
00:39:31Let's be judged and we have something good coming up.
00:39:33It's okay. Everybody will forget about that.
00:39:35You were fantastic. Good luck. The scores are in.
00:39:39The judges have their scores.
00:39:41Craig Revel Horwood.
00:39:43Four.
00:39:44Thank you. That's okay.
00:39:46Sweet one.
00:39:47Five.
00:39:49Shirley Ballard.
00:39:51Five.
00:39:52Yes.
00:39:53Anton Dubeck.
00:39:54Five.
00:39:55That's good for week one, you promise.
00:39:59A reminder that those judges' scores are being carried over to next week.
00:40:03There is no vote tonight still to come.
00:40:06Ross and Yavita, this is phenomenal.
00:40:09The best outfit I've ever seen.
00:40:11Are you going to get changed? Is this casual?
00:40:13No-one mentioned costumes to me.
00:40:15Okay, fine.
00:40:16We cannot wait to see it.
00:40:18Tess.
00:40:20Next on the floor is Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis and his partner Diane.
00:40:25Stefan starred in Neighbours for nearly 30 years,
00:40:28during which his character has been married seven times,
00:40:31wrongly imprisoned and fathered triplets.
00:40:34So by comparison, dancing the Foxtrot should be a walk in the park.
00:40:42This is fun, isn't it?
00:40:43This is showbiz, baby.
00:40:44That's how I roll if I'm sunny.
00:40:46God, don't hands a hoot.
00:40:48We've both got that Aussie attitude.
00:40:50Yay!
00:40:53When I am around Australians, I turn a lot more Australian.
00:40:57So I'm going to start speaking terribly, terribly like that.
00:40:59Yes.
00:41:00We're going to say, ah, mate.
00:41:01Yes.
00:41:02I say kangaroo hop our way into the training room.
00:41:05That sounds like fun.
00:41:08As you've probably heard, Diane is pregnant
00:41:11and since it's our first day, I thought I'd bring her a little gift.
00:41:14That's so cute!
00:41:17Oh, congratulations.
00:41:19Your first dance, the Foxtrot.
00:41:22That sounds really good.
00:41:23It's a song that you're going to know very, very well.
00:41:26Are you serious?
00:41:27Neighbours.
00:41:29If Stefan doesn't know this song, then there's something seriously wrong there.
00:41:36Today was really good in as much as I learned a lot of things about what to do,
00:41:40but it was amazing how much and what not to do.
00:41:42Toe, toe, you need to move more.
00:41:44Footwork in Foxtrot is crucial.
00:41:46Shirley's going to be watching for that heel, toe, toe, heel toe.
00:41:51My wife Gail on the other side of the world is going to meet for the very first time my dance partner on this side of the world.
00:41:58See, look at that.
00:41:59Hi.
00:42:00The fact that they're both dancers, they have that in common.
00:42:03Enjoy it.
00:42:04Feel the music.
00:42:05Yes.
00:42:06Ah, see.
00:42:07Hi, darling.
00:42:08Hi.
00:42:09I'm so happy that I got to meet Gail and your daughter.
00:42:13I think she was really impressed.
00:42:14I can't wait.
00:42:19I'm excited.
00:42:20Even if you do a heel instead of a toe, I feel like they'll still be proud.
00:42:25I might not be.
00:42:26Yeah.
00:42:27But they will be.
00:42:32Dancing to Foxtrot.
00:42:33Stefan Dennis and Diane Busway.
00:42:46Neighbours.
00:42:48Everybody needs good neighbours.
00:42:52Just a friendly wave each morning helps to make a better day.
00:43:02Neighbours need to get to know each other.
00:43:09Next door is only a footstep away.
00:43:22Neighbours should be there for one another.
00:43:41That's when good neighbours become good friends.
00:43:50Neighbours.
00:43:51Neighbours.
00:43:52Neighbours.
00:43:53Neighbours.
00:43:54Neighbours.
00:43:55Everybody needs good neighbours.
00:43:57Neighbours.
00:43:58With a little standing.
00:44:02Can find the perfect land.
00:44:07That's when good neighbours become good friends.
00:44:16Come on over Stefan.
00:44:17Don't worry.
00:44:18Don't worry darling.
00:44:19Come on over.
00:44:20I love you.
00:44:21Don't worry.
00:44:22Those judges are getting a lot of love tonight, aren't they?
00:44:37We couldn't help ourselves.
00:44:38We couldn't help ourselves.
00:44:39The Foxtrot to the Neighbours theme tune.
00:44:40I know.
00:44:41It's a bit of a no-brainer wasn't it really?
00:44:42We just wanted you to feel at home.
00:44:43How are you feeling after that?
00:44:45A bit puffed but good.
00:44:46Good?
00:44:47A little bit but...
00:44:48Don't worry.
00:44:49You did great.
00:44:50Let's not mention it.
00:44:51Let's not say a word.
00:44:52They didn't see a thing.
00:44:53They didn't see a thing.
00:44:54Anton first Foxtrot talked to us.
00:44:56No, he saw it.
00:44:57I have to say, you start and when you took hold and swept across, I was really impressed.
00:45:05You moved beautifully.
00:45:06You flowed.
00:45:07It was seamless.
00:45:08You've got a lovely top line.
00:45:10We go on about top line but yours is a beautiful, your left arm is a lovely softness about it and it's my very favourite sort of Foxtrot.
00:45:18The one where you stop and have tea and then start again a bit later.
00:45:24I love that.
00:45:25Brilliant effort.
00:45:26Well done.
00:45:29Great.
00:45:30Well, it was littered with mistakes as I'm sure you're fully aware.
00:45:36I felt unlike Anton, you needed to drive across the floor a lot more with this.
00:45:43It lacked any swing and sway but we can't really expect that on day one.
00:45:47I thought more efficient footwork as well but I have to say, you have a fantastic flair for musical theatre performing.
00:45:54Thank you very much.
00:45:55I love that.
00:45:56Any producers out there listening?
00:45:59Not too.
00:46:00Yeah, Stefan, I'm actually impressed for the first week the amount of control you had on your standing leg,
00:46:06the ability to shift weight is really incredible and this is the dance I love to see.
00:46:12When I watch a couple I can read the timing, I'm at ease.
00:46:15That means you guys are good.
00:46:17You've got everything under control.
00:46:18It's calm.
00:46:19It's collected.
00:46:20It was smooth.
00:46:21I think we have a ballroom king on our way.
00:46:23Oh.
00:46:25That's what we like there.
00:46:28Do you agree, Shirley?
00:46:30Well, I too was like Motsy, I was impressed.
00:46:32I didn't agree with Craig at all.
00:46:34Oh.
00:46:35Because when you took hold and you got your first wall, I saw the flow.
00:46:38I mean week one, we're on week one.
00:46:39He already had your arms in a good position.
00:46:41If you keep working on that frame, it's going to be outstanding for your next ballroom dances.
00:46:46It's already on its way.
00:46:49You had some nice footwork.
00:46:50You did have a couple of mistakes.
00:46:51Yeah.
00:46:52To dock a little point for that because actually that so far has been the best performance
00:46:55for me.
00:46:56So well done.
00:46:58Brilliant.
00:46:59Feedback from the judges.
00:47:01Yeah.
00:47:02And Diane, we cannot let you leave the floor without saying congratulations.
00:47:06Thank you so much.
00:47:07Thank you so much.
00:47:09So, so happy for you and Jo.
00:47:12Thank you so much.
00:47:13That's very exciting.
00:47:14Well done.
00:47:15That's why we're in blue tonight.
00:47:16Yeah.
00:47:17No, it's not really but we'll pretend.
00:47:19Just thrilled for you.
00:47:20Thank you very much.
00:47:21Thank you both.
00:47:22Cheers.
00:47:24Come on.
00:47:25Good job, you.
00:47:26So proud of you.

00:47:37Well done.
00:47:39Stefan, lovely comments there from the judges.
00:47:42Shirley said her favourite of the night so far.
00:47:44Oh, that's a bit big, isn't it?
00:47:45I know.
00:47:46How did you find it?
00:47:48I found it really good up until the part where I did...
00:47:51No, do I?
00:47:52But nobody saw it.
00:47:53But you're enjoying learning a whole new skill, haven't you?
00:47:55Yeah.
00:47:56Hey, a week ago I couldn't dance.
00:47:57And that's true.
00:47:58Yeah.
00:47:59Very true.
00:48:00Oh, yeah.
00:48:01But you've seen real improvement, haven't you?
00:48:03I have, yeah.
00:48:04Honestly, I mean, I was worried in that launch show, not gonna lie.
00:48:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:08But he's really...
00:48:09He's stepped up.
00:48:10He's such a hard worker.
00:48:11A true born blue Aussie.
00:48:13Yeah.
00:48:14Hard worker.
00:48:15A little battler.
00:48:16And I'm really proud of him.
00:48:17Well done.
00:48:18Good luck.
00:48:19Yes.
00:48:20The scores are in.
00:48:21The judges' scores are in.

00:48:39Well done.
00:48:40Please remember the pressure is off everyone tonight.
00:48:45No one is leaving the competition this weekend.
00:48:49Diane.
00:48:50Yes.
00:48:51You know we love you.
00:48:52So I say this from all of us.
00:48:54Welcome to your baby child!
00:48:56Oh!
00:48:57Yay!
00:48:58Oh!
00:48:59Yay!
00:49:00This is school.
00:49:01Oh!
00:49:02Balloons.
00:49:03Oh!
00:49:04It's not my child!
00:49:05It's okay.
00:49:06Oh!
00:49:09I'm actually a school.
00:49:10We are holding the tape.
00:49:11We hold it.
00:49:12Oh, the balloon.
00:49:13We hold it.
00:49:14We hold it.
00:49:15Yeah.
00:49:16Oh!
00:49:17I'm actually a school.
00:49:18It's not a seat.
00:49:19I'm from black.
00:49:20That was very lovely.
00:49:22That was a ten second baby shower.
00:49:25But we love you so, so much.
00:49:26Oh, I love you all so much.
00:49:27And thank you for being so supportive.
00:49:29Yeah, we're so happy for you.
00:49:30I appreciate it.
00:49:32Eat all of those now.
00:49:33I will test.
00:49:34Not the bad one.
00:49:36So sweet.
00:49:37Our next couple is Ellie Goldstein and her partner Vito.
00:49:39And after working hard in the training room, these two have really formed such a close bond already.
00:49:44And now our model is ready to strut her stuff with a cha-cha.
00:49:48My family and friends are really supportive of me because they come to that same.
00:49:57My mum is going to be like, yay, come Ellie.
00:50:01I think Vito has got a good heart.
00:50:06The moment we got paired together.
00:50:08Yes.
00:50:09We screamed.
00:50:10I was like, Ellie, Vito!
00:50:13My prince is charming.
00:50:15Look.
00:50:16So I'm a prince?
00:50:17Yes.
00:50:18Because usually I was the little mouse.
00:50:19But it's good.
00:50:20I can try to be the prince.
00:50:22How much fun are we going to have?
00:50:24Like...
00:50:25Like...
00:50:26This!
00:50:27No!
00:50:28Big!
00:50:29Hello!
00:50:30Sometimes I just can't believe...
00:50:33It's our day one rehearsal.
00:50:35Oh!
00:50:36And our first dance is the cha-cha-cha!
00:50:40Can't wait for this!
00:50:42My dance style is cha-cha-cha!
00:50:47Cha-cha-cha!
00:50:48And I'm excited and a bit nervous!
00:50:51With me!
00:50:52With me!
00:50:53Ta-ta!
00:50:54Cha-cha-cha is a cheeky dance!
00:50:55Red Nails!
00:50:56Which suits you, Ellie, perfectly!
00:50:59Beautiful!
00:51:00Lots of confidence, cheekiness, mwah!
00:51:03And sassiness!
00:51:04That was sassy!
00:51:05Ellie is a visual learner, that's why I decided to adapt my way of teaching.
00:51:13Love heart!
00:51:14Love heart!
00:51:15Kiss!
00:51:16Kiss!
00:51:17It's like a strike-a-ball pose, yeah?
00:51:19Showing where Claudia is, where the judges are, where the band is.
00:51:23A little bit of sassy to the judges.
00:51:25Point to Claudia!
00:51:26Look at this!
00:51:27Like a flower will blossom.
00:51:29I made it really, really well.
00:51:31And I loved it!
00:51:33I'm going to start this now.
00:51:35Bah!
00:51:36Let's do this!
00:51:37Let's do this!
00:51:42Dancing the cha-cha, Ellie Goldstein and Vito Copperman.
00:52:03Let's do this!
00:52:04I am so strong to carry what you think.
00:52:08No, I don't want to hide.
00:52:10Underneath your own projections.
00:52:15Change from yourself into life.
00:52:18Put on a picture, let me stay on.
00:52:22I'm a walking friend.
00:52:23Come on and walk this way to the fire.
00:52:26u何ers of the band, you
00:52:33Get out of my mind.
00:52:35Find yourself into dark situations.
00:52:36Let's turn on your light and be light.
00:52:37I'll see you.
00:52:38We aren't so wet.
00:52:39We're gonna let you stay on the chair.
00:52:40We're gonna let you stay on the bench.
00:52:43We're gonna let you stay on the bench.
00:52:49I can't believe in my own space
00:52:51I can't believe in my own space
00:52:53I can't believe in my own space
00:52:55I can't believe in my own attitude
00:52:57Ready, ladies, we love you
00:52:59Ladies, we have an attitude
00:53:01Fellas, that we're in the room
00:53:03Don't you stand there, let's get to it
00:53:05Strike a pose, there's nothing to do it
00:53:07Oh yes, I'm a woman
00:53:09I'm a woman
00:53:11I'm a woman
00:53:13I'm a woman
00:53:15I'm a woman
00:53:17I'm a woman
00:53:19I'm a woman
00:53:21I'm a woman
00:53:23Let's cry
00:53:28Yoooooooooo
00:53:32We did it!
00:53:33I'm so so proud of you
00:53:35I'm so so proud of you
00:53:37We did it!
00:53:39Come on, you're right!
00:53:41We did it!
00:53:43We did it!
00:53:45We did it!
00:53:47Ellie, I hope you are so happy after that.
00:53:50I am.
00:53:51You are.
00:53:52Well, I think I made the studio audience very, very happy.
00:53:54And I loved your dance to the judges.
00:53:56I love that attitude.
00:53:58Let's see if they enjoyed it.
00:53:59Motsy.
00:54:00Ellie, our cover girl.
00:54:05What a vibe.
00:54:07Oh, my god.
00:54:08You went for that.
00:54:09I love that.
00:54:10That is commitment.
00:54:12I was already in a good mood.
00:54:13But now you've taken me off the roof.
00:54:16Well done.
00:54:18I have a little tip for you.
00:54:20So the floor is your best friend.
00:54:22So with the next dance, try to keep your feet onto the floor.
00:54:26So you'll be stronger and more dynamic.
00:54:29But that was so much fun.
00:54:30And you, happy birthday, Vito.
00:54:32Happy birthday, Vito.
00:54:34Yes.
00:54:37Thank you so much.
00:54:39That dance was a perfect birthday present for Vito, wasn't it?
00:54:43Shirley.
00:54:43Week one, it's always very difficult to come down a catwalk on your own, unassisted for anybody.
00:54:49And you were absolutely shining.
00:54:52You're like a bright star.
00:54:53I was so impressed.
00:54:54Then you had the courage to jump into his arms and then pick up your cha-cha-cha.
00:54:59But you didn't miss a beat when it came to timing.
00:55:02But that little tiny thing I would like you to do is how you've been kissing the floor with your feet and your toes.
00:55:07I'd like to see a little bit more of that going on.
00:55:10But that body rhythm, young lady.
00:55:12In actual fact, my friend Alan Grundy gave me something.
00:55:15And I think I've just got to give it to you because you are fabulous.
00:55:19Oh, nice.
00:55:23There you go.
00:55:24Can I give it to you?
00:55:25There you go, lovely one.
00:55:26You can have that.
00:55:29Because you're fabulous.
00:55:30Yes.
00:55:31Fabulous.
00:55:32Anton.
00:55:33Oh, wow, Ellie.
00:55:35You are the joy.
00:55:37You're just going to be joy through this whole competition.
00:55:40I agree with the ladies.
00:55:42We could work on the feet, staying on the ground a bit more.
00:55:44But your timing was exquisite.
00:55:46You didn't miss a step.
00:55:48We've not had many of those tonight.
00:55:50You were step-perfect.
00:55:51That's true.
00:55:52Your timing was immaculate.
00:55:53And you were joyful to watch.
00:55:56Ellie, superstar.
00:55:59Great comments.
00:56:00Great.
00:56:01For me, it was a little flat-footed.
00:56:04I'm afraid you need a much straighter leg, which made it just look stompy, darling.
00:56:10So you're picking your feet up way too high, that's all.
00:56:15However, you do possess a gorgeous natural rhythm.
00:56:19And I love the detail in your fingers and hands, darling.
00:56:23Very good.
00:56:24Very good.
00:56:29Brilliant comments.
00:56:30I think the rest of your gang are waiting to see you upstairs with Claudia.
00:56:33Off you go.
00:56:35Thank you so much.
00:56:40Thank you very much.

00:59:03hopefully my acting can help me in the storytelling obviously I still need to remember the steps and
00:59:13everything else I'm over the moon with Katia the way that she can dance is just insane you're gonna need
00:59:20to find your inner Anton how long does that take are you ready hello let's get driving forward side bring
00:59:34it in bring it out kick it down a cushion cushion when Lewis was younger he did do some hip-hop dancing
00:59:41lock pop no it's not helping the natural swing of the jive not too much attack in the body the jive is
00:59:49meant to be a really fun dance but you know it's not fun when you can't get the technique
00:59:53flow through flow through the jive is being full-on so we're gonna get outside go for a walk and get
01:00:01to know each other better growing up in Hartlepool being on the coast I just loved doing stuff like

01:02:14So get ready, get ready, cause here I come
01:02:18Get ready, cause here I come
01:02:40Oh my, I think every single person in this room is on their feet
01:02:59Wow, what just happened, you christened that new judge's desk, didn't you?
01:03:04Will and Shirley, sorry about that one
01:03:06Did you get a good view of that jive, Craig?
01:03:10Oh, be nice, you're very good
01:03:13Oh, look at the one line, that's all we need, thank you
01:03:24I was still waiting
01:03:25Motty, no criticism at all
01:03:27Yes, very good, very courageous
01:03:30I mean, starting right in front of us
01:03:32We could look at every single movement you're doing
01:03:35I'm speaking about dancing
01:03:40Great space
01:03:41Guys
01:03:42This is what I'm enjoying
01:03:42You're speaking dancing here
01:03:43And then you went down the stairs and this energy, like dynamite
01:03:49You attacked that dance, I absolutely adored it
01:03:53I would love that you clean up a little bit
01:03:55Because the arms were a little bit going all over the place
01:03:58So we need to clean it up
01:03:59At the end there was a tiny little mistake, I saw that
01:04:02But I mean, we are starting at levels
01:04:04Hello, Strictly, 20, 25
01:04:07What?
01:04:10Shirley
01:04:12Well, there was plenty to like there
01:04:14You show true athleticism
01:04:16And that's good
01:04:18But for me, it was overloaded with choreography
01:04:21Sometimes less is more
01:04:23And I don't think you need all the highlights and tricks
01:04:26Because I actually believe that you could be a fantastic dancer
01:04:29So, and I gauge this off
01:04:30When you have the chassis right and left and right
01:04:33And then you do your pivot section
01:04:34There was no rotation in the body whatsoever
01:04:36The footwork got lost
01:04:37But the entertainment was a star
01:04:40So you have to find somewhere
01:04:42The balance with the quality
01:04:44And I think you're capable of both
01:04:46But that was still a good performance
01:04:47Thank you
01:04:48Thank you
01:04:49And Tom
01:04:52Well, right, okay
01:04:56I see what's happening here
01:04:58Somebody once said
01:04:59This is excellent
01:05:01Your energy is
01:05:03Never lose that
01:05:04But with the energy you must have control
01:05:06You've got it all going on
01:05:07It's all fabulous
01:05:08You're going to be marvellous in this in this series
01:05:10I can feel it
01:05:11But the legs are
01:05:13There's a lot of stuff going
01:05:15The legs are away
01:05:16So you need to put the whole
01:05:18Contain the whole thing
01:05:19And then you'll get more out of it
01:05:21But I mean, wow
01:05:22What a start
01:05:23What a start
01:05:24What a start
01:05:26What a start
01:05:27I think you've definitely
01:05:29Had us all wanting more
01:05:31Roll on wing 2
01:05:32Thank you so much
01:05:33Thank you
01:05:34Thank you
01:05:35Thank you
01:05:36Thank you
01:05:37Thank you
01:05:38Thank you
01:05:39Thank you
01:05:40Thank you
01:05:41Thank you
01:05:42Thank you
01:05:43Thank you
01:05:44Thank you
01:05:45Thank you
01:05:46Thank you
01:05:47Thank you
01:05:48Thank you
01:05:49Thank you
01:05:50Thank you
01:05:51Lewis, you are
01:05:53I mean unreal
01:05:54None of us could speak
01:05:55That is week one
01:05:57I know you tried to change the choreography
01:05:58You kept on saying
01:05:59This is too hard
01:06:00I did
01:06:01Yeah, no
01:06:02We were trying to challenge the choreography all the time
01:06:04I kept messaging
01:06:05Just going
01:06:06Can we just take it down a couple of levels
01:06:07But she was
01:06:08She was right all along
01:06:09It was just starting to be better
01:06:10There were bold tricks for week one
01:06:12But you knew he could do it
01:06:14He can do
01:06:15These are the easy parts
01:06:16Not for me
01:06:18This is the kickball challenge
01:06:20This is the kickball challenge
01:06:21This is the kickball challenge
01:06:22The challenging
01:06:23But no, he's worked so, so hard
01:06:24You know
01:06:25What we see really for everybody
01:06:26Is the product of hard work
01:06:28For those few days that we have
01:06:30So I'm so surprised

01:07:34Tess
01:07:36Performing now
01:07:38A celebrity
01:07:39Who spent 25 years
01:07:40Reporting from the red carpet
01:07:42But tonight
01:07:43He wants his footwork
01:07:44To do the talking
01:07:45With the cha-cha
01:07:46It's Ross King
01:07:47And his partner
01:07:48Yavita
01:07:49I really am just looking forward to every minute of this
01:07:54If I can be the most improved
01:07:56I'll be thrilled
01:07:58I hope that Yavita is very respectful of my age
01:08:01But she's not going to take it easy on me at all
01:08:04You know, I'm going to go for it
01:08:06Hello
01:08:08Hello
01:08:09Ross is 100% dancer
01:08:11He's like a diamond, you know
01:08:13We just need to polish
01:08:14Yeah, rough
01:08:15With the polish person
01:08:16Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:08:18See what she did there?
01:08:19We all did
01:08:20We all did
01:08:26So this cha-cha-cha
01:08:28We're going to do a little bit of hip-hop
01:08:30Hip-hop?
01:08:31Yeah
01:08:32I thought about having a hip-hop
01:08:34But never having hip-hop
01:08:37One, two
01:08:39I think the hip-hop section
01:08:40You can make it a little bit more Ross
01:08:42Cool
01:08:43It's more free
01:08:44And it's more groovy
01:08:46Woo
01:08:47Cha-cha
01:08:48Is very restricted in a lower part of body
01:08:50Back, replace, sat
01:08:51So I need to separate those things
01:08:53And walk
01:08:54Ross
01:08:55Yes
01:08:56That's it
01:08:57That's the one
01:08:58The cha-cha, it just looks such a joyful dance
01:09:01And I'm realising there's so much more to it
01:09:09His enthusiasm sometimes takes over
01:09:11Back, back, side, hop
01:09:12Aya
01:09:13You do correct steps
01:09:14Mm-hmm
01:09:15You just do them too quick
01:09:16He's just one step ahead of music
01:09:18One step ahead of a step
01:09:20Why are you rushing?
01:09:21I genuinely am loving all this
01:09:23But
01:09:24I got carried away
01:09:25You do
01:09:26I do need to rein in my excitement
01:09:28I want this cha-cha to be just right
01:09:31And I want to hear a hip hip hooray
01:09:33For the hip-hop section
01:09:35Dancing the cha-cha
01:09:42Ross King
01:09:43And Yodita Pistol
01:09:48Oh my gosh, I'm here!
01:09:49Greetings, loved ones
01:09:50It's amazing!
01:09:51Let's take a journey
01:09:52It's amazing!
01:09:53Let's take a journey
01:09:54I
01:09:55I
01:09:56Know the place
01:09:57Where the grounds are truly greener
01:09:58Warm, wet, wild
01:10:00There must be something in the water
01:10:02I know a place where the ground is really greener
01:10:09Warm, wet, wild, there must be something in the water
01:10:16You can travel through a fight
01:10:22But nothing goes close to the golden coat
01:10:27Once you party with your eyes
01:10:30You'll be pulling me in love
01:10:32Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:10:35Captain Boy, girl, we're unforgettable
01:10:38Crazy dreams, bikinis on top
01:10:42Sun is getting so hot, oh, don't you want me to go
01:10:47Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:10:50Captain Boy, girl, we're undeniable
01:10:54Find fresh fears we got in our lives
01:10:58West Coast, West Coast
01:11:00West Coast
01:11:01Now put your hands up
01:11:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:11:07Tone town getting ready
01:11:09Turn it up, cause it's getting heavy
01:11:11Wow, wow, West Coast
01:11:13These are the girls I love the most
01:11:15I mean, I'm okay, I'm okay
01:11:17I love the bass just like I love LA
01:11:19Venice Beach in Palm Springs
01:11:21California
01:11:23California, man
01:11:24California, man
01:11:27California
01:11:27California
01:11:28California
01:11:29California
01:11:32Oh, oh
01:11:34Come on
01:11:42So, yeah, alright
01:11:45Oh, thank you
01:11:47You might want to take that photo. Thank you.
01:11:49For your little comments. It'll be boiling hot.
01:11:52Thank you. Cha-cha and hip-hop, you're spoiling us.
01:11:55And I think I nearly spoiled a few cameramen as well.
01:11:57Oh, did I do? When you came down the side?
01:11:59Oh, God. I'm going to go on that later.
01:12:01That was fun. You were having a blast out there.
01:12:03Just the best, teacher.
01:12:05Isn't she just? Just had such fun.
01:12:06How was it, Shirley?
01:12:08Well, I love it that everybody's bringing a little basic.
01:12:11I think that's great. Compact chassis, Cuban brakes,
01:12:13I can appreciate them, but we had so many things for me that were off.
01:12:16Your feet turned in. They need to be at five to one on the ballroom clock.
01:12:20The balance was off. Your toes were curling up.
01:12:22You looked hesitant when you were moving.
01:12:24You were too early coming down the slide.
01:12:26That's why that you found...
01:12:27I'm just being honest. He's got somewhere to grow.
01:12:29He needs to grow. He needs to grow.
01:12:32You'd rather me tell you honest or lie to you. That I'm not going to do.
01:12:35So I think that you show promise.
01:12:37I love your attitude with this lovely lady. I adore her.
01:12:40She's a fantastic teacher.
01:12:41Go back, study hard, you know, and keep working on the same thing
01:12:45over and over and over again.
01:12:47And come back with a better dance next week.
01:12:49Yeah.
01:12:51Anton.
01:12:52Well, you know, sometimes when it goes a bit wrong,
01:12:54you can't quite get it back on.
01:12:56Oh, it all goes, oh, no, and I can't get it back on.
01:12:59I love the performance. I mean, there's a great energy about it.
01:13:01It was very uplifting. I enjoyed it.
01:13:03There was quite a lot going wrong down below.
01:13:05The biggest problem is that you don't commit your weight onto the foot enough.
01:13:09So you've got to stand on it, because what happens is,
01:13:12if you only tap it, you use it again.
01:13:14And if you stand on it, you use the other foot,
01:13:16which is the one you probably want to use.
01:13:17So we end up not really using the correct foot.
01:13:19I mean, there's a lot to like. There was a lot that went wrong.
01:13:22But next week, come back with the same attitude,
01:13:24the same verve, the same performance,
01:13:26and just slightly more steps, and I think you'll do fine.
01:13:29Well done. Thank you.
01:13:33Right. Don't come back with the same dance, darling.
01:13:36That's all I can say.
01:13:38It was not a good one for you, I'm afraid.
01:13:41Very awkward and, um, very pigeon-toed.
01:13:48Save the day, Malti. Come on.
01:13:51Malti, he must be talking to him.
01:13:52Listen, listen, here, this is 2025.
01:13:56When he dances like that and he says it's a cha-cha,
01:13:58then it's a cha-cha. We absolutely...
01:14:01I think you brought the verve, the va-va-voom.
01:14:06Listen, this is somebody who has never danced ever, ever.
01:14:09Thank you, Malti. Millions are watching.
01:14:11Absolute novice. Millions.
01:14:15We've all started somewhere and there's stairs to climb
01:14:19and we will climb them with you.
01:14:21Thank you for that.
01:14:21Yes.
01:14:22Welcome to Bebo.
01:14:24Thank you so much.
01:14:26And the good news is nobody's leaving this week,
01:14:29so we'll see you next week.
01:14:30Thank you so much. Thank you to you, Ross.
01:14:31Thank you. Thank you, Peter.
01:14:47We love you, Ross. We love you.
01:14:49They all are lovely.
01:14:51How have you found learning dancing?
01:14:53Never danced before.
01:14:54Never.
01:14:55I thought I was bad at dancing
01:14:57and then I realised I'm really, really bad at dancing.
01:15:00So...
01:15:02The way I got there...
01:15:04It's it's this...
01:15:07The way the turns out you're going to be a little,
01:15:09it's because I thought you're going to leave...
01:15:11I don't have to change your life.
01:15:12I look for it.
01:15:13If you look for it, I don't have to change it.
01:15:14No, there's nothing.
01:15:15There's nothing is in the way to change it.
01:15:16How are you going to take your life?
01:15:17You don't have to change it.
01:15:18But I think you're going to be different from all people.
01:15:19I don't know that that I'm going to be my life.
01:15:20The way to change it, it can change it,
01:15:21It's just like, in fact,
01:15:22the way I'm going to walk around and explain it,
01:15:24and I've been a bit too many times.
