00:00in the making

00:00Please welcome your host, Jeanette Monrara

00:30Hello and welcome to Tuesday's It Takes Two.

00:36We're coming to you on BBC Two and iPlayer

00:39and after the first dance-off of the series,

00:42it's a case of keep on moving for Chris and Nadia

00:44after they were saved by all four judges.

00:47I'll be catching up with them in just a moment.

00:49But before that, let's find out who else is on the show tonight.

00:53With a score of just 17,

00:56it's fair to say that our Aussie duo,

00:57Stefan and Diane, didn't have a good A on Saturday.

01:00We'll be asking how they plan to bounce back

01:02from Down Under before movie week.

01:05She was a beautiful ballroom butterfly on Saturday night

01:08and she was flying high after some great scores.

01:11We'll be asking whether Ellie and Vito

01:13will be winging it for their routine on Saturday.

01:16And Joanne Clifton is back

01:18with the second part of this week's Choreography Corner

01:20where we'll be talking hip rotation,

01:23voltas and arm energy.

01:24But before all that,

01:27Chris and Nadia had a scare at the weekend

01:29as the former England rugby captain

01:31had to tackle the first dance-off.

01:33And after giving it his best try,

01:35the judges gave him his props

01:37and kept him in the game.

01:39You have a lovely walking action.

01:44You walk beautifully.

01:46I still believe that you are going to have to step out

01:51of your usual comfort zone.

01:54You were almost leaning over her.

01:57You lost fluidity in the arms,

01:59but you do have a magnificent frame.

02:01Please welcome Chris and Nadia.

02:08I'm a magnificent frame.

02:09Yes.

02:10Chris, let's get straight into it.

02:12You got the first red light treatment of the series.

02:17What was it like to end up in that position?

02:18How did you feel?

02:19Not great, if we're honest.

02:21It was such an emotional experience, wasn't it?

02:23And look, we were unfortunately down to the bottom

02:26of the leaderboard.

02:26And I think whenever you're in that position,

02:28there's always a chance, isn't there?

02:29So we, Nadia was brilliant preparing me

02:32for, I call it the playoff, the elimination,

02:34whatever you want to call it.

02:36But yeah, we got in the right position.

02:38We got in the mind frame.

02:39We were like, look, let's just be ready for,

02:41if it happens.

02:42Obviously, if we go the other way, it's amazing.

02:44But yeah, look, it was tough emotionally,

02:46especially to be in the first one

02:47when we put so much hard work in

02:48and we thought we performed really well on the night.

02:51Yeah, we really did, yes.

02:53And getting to know Chris,

02:55I can understand his mentality

02:56and being an athlete and rugby player.

02:59So I had to keep him focused

03:00and I was really making sure

03:03you're in the right mindset

03:04if we need to do it again,

03:06that you were ready.

03:07Because you posted that Strictly

03:08has given you so much purpose

03:10now that you're involved with it.

03:11But what do you mean when you say purpose?

03:13What's the purpose?

03:14I think it's reignited that kind of energy,

03:17that competitive spirit

03:18to get back out there.

03:19And I think when any athlete retires,

03:21they feel a little bit lost for a long time.

03:24Their identity, their purpose,

03:26it does disappear a bit.

03:27So to have that focus,

03:29to go to training every day with Nadia,

03:30who pushes me,

03:31she challenges me

03:32to tell me which foot is left and right

03:34and all sorts.

03:35But we're improving.

03:37And that's the main thing

03:38from a person who,

03:39if I'm honest,

03:40probably got laughed at a little bit

03:41when I was on the dance floor.

03:42No.

03:43Only from friends,

03:44you know, friendly banter

03:45and all that kind of stuff

03:46to now going out there

03:47and performing

03:48and improving from week to week

03:49has been amazing so far.

03:51So yes,

03:52it is any baby steps,

03:53but it steps in the right direction.

03:54But it steps in the right direction.

03:55Exactly.

03:55And if it makes you feel better,

03:56I still don't know my left from my right.

03:57So you're absolutely fine.

03:59But looking back

04:00on Saturday night's performance,

04:02all of the judges

04:02commented on your posture.

04:04It was a big topic

04:05of conversation for them.

04:06So what is it the case?

04:07Is it the habits

04:08that you've had as a rugby player

04:09that just keeps you coming forward?

04:11Oh yeah,

04:11let us show you.

04:12Oh, yeah.

04:13Let us show you.

04:13Okay, demo time.

04:14This is the natural.

04:15Scrap.

04:16Scrap.

04:17This is the natural position.

04:19That's what,

04:19that's what

04:20usually he would do.

04:21I don't think

04:22I ever expected Nadia

04:23to ever be in that.

04:24She was great.

04:25Here you go.

04:26Here you go.

04:27Well, look,

04:27unfortunately,

04:28a lot of our thing

04:28is kind of low.

04:29It's combative.

04:30You're tackling down here.

04:32I've tried that too.

04:33You're very good.

04:33You're not kind of

04:34trying to be up here.

04:35Yes.

04:36It's almost

04:37a complete opposite

04:37where you're trying to stand up.

04:39And we always say,

04:40Johannes.

04:41Think of Johannes.

04:41I've never met a person

04:43with better posture.

04:44Oh my gosh.

04:45Johannes.

04:45Be more Johannes.

04:46And I suddenly go up like that.

04:47Yeah,

04:47but you've also been using

04:48a broom in rehearsals

04:49to help out that as well.

04:51Well,

04:51we've been using

04:52all the possible elements.

04:54Whatever we find,

04:56cans of water,

04:57broom,

04:57to make sure his frame

04:58is the best it could be.

05:00And like you said,

05:01it's baby steps,

05:02but the fact that judges

05:03can see the improvement

05:04and they did say

05:06that it was such a big difference

05:08between Samba

05:09and then Vinny's Waltz week too.

05:11I'm really proud of you.

05:13And to talk about

05:14the message he put out there

05:16during the weekend.

05:17And you said

05:18that you felt like

05:19you let me down

05:21by being in Dance Off.

05:22and it's absolutely

05:24nothing like that.

05:25I know how much,

05:27how your family

05:28is proud of you

05:29and your friends

05:30and I'm really,

05:31really proud of you

05:32of how far you've come.

05:34Yes.

05:34And you have to be proud

05:35of yourself as well.

05:36And we're still in it.

05:38We're still in it.

05:39We still have another week to go.

05:40Which makes me excited

05:41because you are going

05:42into movie week.

05:42Yes.

05:43Yes, you are.

05:43And you're going to be doing

05:44a Paso Doble

05:45to a strictly version

05:47of Thor,

05:49Love and Thunder

05:50to this song.

05:54That is

05:55Sweet Child of Mine,

05:56Guns and Roses.

05:58Oh, Chris,

05:58what a song.

05:59Are you kidding me?

06:01Yes.

06:01Now, it's the first

06:02themed week of the series.

06:04How excited are you

06:06to be dressing up

06:06as a superhero

06:07on national television?

06:09Oh, I mean,

06:09it's every child's dream,

06:11isn't it?

06:11To be a superhero,

06:12to dress up as a superhero.

06:14So to get to do that

06:14is amazing.

06:16But also,

06:16with this dance,

06:18being a superhero,

06:19it allows me

06:20to put into practice

06:20all the judges' feedback

06:21or the coaches' feedback,

06:22I call them,

06:23to say,

06:24to stand up tall,

06:25to have that presence,

06:26to have that alter ego,

06:28Fred.

06:28I don't know

06:29if I've ever met

06:30a matador named Fred,

06:31though.

06:32I think it works.

06:33Just to put it,

06:34to make it clear,

06:35that's what Mott's

06:36is acting.

06:37Yes.

06:37Because I had so many

06:38people asking me,

06:39who is Fred?

06:40Why are you calling him Fred?

06:41This week,

06:42Chris is Fred.

06:44Well, listen,

06:44we want to help you.

06:45here on It Takes Two,

06:46we're here to support.

06:47Okay.

06:47So we have brought back

06:48something very special,

06:49the Paso Cam.

06:52So,

06:52on my cue,

06:53Chris,

06:54I'm going to ask you

06:54to look down the camera

06:55and give me

06:56your best Paso face.

06:58face, all right?

06:59What is a Paso face first?

07:02Don't worry,

07:02we'll work.

07:03Make pretend you're

07:04about to tackle.

07:05We're only two days here.

07:06What face would you give

07:07when you're about to go

07:08for a tackle?

07:09Down the camera,

07:09go.

07:10All right,

07:14Nadia,

07:14what is Nadia's?

07:16Go on,

07:17Nadia.

07:17Give me a Paso.

07:18Oh,

07:19ole.

07:22I like.

07:23I love that he actually said,

07:25what is a Paso face?

07:27You've got a couple days left.

07:29Here we go.

07:29All right,

07:29well,

07:29good luck with training

07:30for the two of you.

07:32It's Chris and Nadia,

07:33everybody.

07:37Amazing.

07:38I love Strictly.

07:39All right,

07:39on Saturday night,

07:40Ellie burst out of her cocoon

07:42and became a beautiful butterfly

07:43with a waltz that had her

07:45and Vita floating on air.

07:47Here's a reminder.

07:50You today

07:51were the epitome

07:52of grace

07:53and charm.

07:54Boy,

07:54can you spin,

07:55girl.

07:56If you're going to continue

07:57to improve all the things

07:59that everybody asks you to do,

08:01you're going to be unstoppable.

08:03Till your fingertips

08:04you were dancing.

08:05I love that extension.

08:07This is going

08:08in the right direction.

08:09Well done,

08:09girl.

08:13Welcome,

08:14Ellie and Vita.

08:16Ellie,

08:17that was a beautiful routine

08:18on Saturday night

08:20and you started

08:21on your own

08:21again

08:22at the stairs.

08:23Did you have any butterflies

08:24in your stomach?

08:25Had nerves at first,

08:27but they were coming down

08:29and

08:30so

08:31there was a good dance.

08:33It was a great dance

08:34made by Vita.

08:36Yes.

08:37Of course.

08:39My big brother.

08:41And so

08:41there was a graceful dance

08:43and me,

08:44everything was like

08:45butterflies,

08:46graceful,

08:47arrogance.

08:48And during the dance,

08:49I got a bit

08:50emotional,

08:52but in the inner,

08:53not on the outside.

08:54But it was all worth

08:56being a dance

08:56and it was great,

08:58comments,

08:59great scores.

09:00I love it so much.

09:01Vita,

09:01how impressed

09:02were you

09:02with Ellie's performance?

09:03Honestly,

09:04Jeanette,

09:04I was really trying

09:05not to get emotional

09:06during the dance.

09:07The moment,

09:08you know,

09:08already coming down

09:09from the stairs.

09:10Because this is,

09:11you know,

09:11also our own

09:12little journey.

09:13We want to have

09:13a little challenge

09:14and I said like,

09:15okay, Ellie.

09:15Ellie was a bit afraid

09:16of getting down

09:17from the stairs

09:18on her own.

09:19I said,

09:19that's why

09:20we're going to set

09:20this challenge.

09:21You're going to come down

09:22on your own.

09:23We're going to meet

09:23in the middle

09:24of the floor.

09:25Yeah,

09:25and I was so,

09:26so proud.

09:27Yeah,

09:27the moment

09:28you were spinning

09:29around,

09:29I said like,

09:30oh,

09:30she's going to fly

09:31now like a butterfly.

09:32That's beautiful.

09:33Yeah,

09:33beautiful like a princess

09:34and light and smooth

09:36like a butterfly.

09:37Yeah,

09:37exactly.

09:38That's true,

09:38Papa.

09:40Ellie,

09:41you've got the cardboard

09:42cutouts of the judges

09:43watching you all week

09:44in the rehearsals,

09:45so who is the most

09:46intimidating

09:47watching you all week?

09:48TV on this

09:53is great.

09:55Yeah,

09:55I know.

09:56All of us feel the same.

09:57Don't laugh at that now.

09:59He's intimidated too,

10:01I bet,

10:01right?

10:01No,

10:02it's great

10:03because he gives

10:05like all the

10:06critiques

10:07about like

10:08not feet

10:10and not arms,

10:11but at the end

10:12it's all good feedback

10:13of the harsh comments.

10:16Yes.

10:16But then like

10:18quakes are a good judge

10:20for me

10:20in my behalf,

10:22but

10:22But he's a little scary.

10:26Yeah,

10:26I hate it

10:27when it gets bad

10:28comments to me.

10:29I'm like,

10:29what?

10:30Listen,

10:31you and everybody else,

10:32Ellie,

10:33so don't worry about that.

10:34That's good.

10:34But Vito,

10:35you've got the cardboard

10:36cutouts of the judges.

10:37What else did you do

10:38last week

10:39for the waltz

10:39to help her

10:40with visual kind of cues?

10:42So definitely going

10:43in the butterfly garden

10:44helps out a lot

10:45because we were

10:46kind of observing,

10:48you know,

10:48how butterflies

10:49are floating,

10:50how they are smooth.

10:51Remember?

10:52And we said like,

10:52oh,

10:52we really get inspired

10:53by that.

10:54We were watching

10:55and observing

10:55all how they fly

10:57and after we were

10:58always,

10:58you know,

10:59getting some inspiration

11:00from the judges' feedback.

11:02We were working on

11:03The Floor is Our Friend,

11:05yeah,

11:06all the rise and fall

11:07and it was beautiful.

11:08A bit of whiteboard note.

11:10Yeah,

11:10we do have like

11:10our school corner moment.

11:12It was beautiful.

11:14Yeah.

11:15And your sister

11:16was in the audience,

11:17Amy,

11:18and she looked like

11:19she loved it.

11:19So proud of you.

11:20But what did she make

11:21of the whole performance?

11:22Oh,

11:22she loved it so,

11:24so much

11:25because often me

11:27on the stage

11:28was brilliant.

11:30But she told me,

11:31yeah,

11:31I'm doing it.

11:33Go with Ali,

11:34get up,

11:35get every toe,

11:36go and take a chance,

11:44she could do this

11:45and that

11:46and like,

11:47supportive of me.

11:49Remember before to dance,

11:54I know you did.

11:56You were,

11:56honestly,

13:21Done.

13:22I love this partnership.

13:23Well,

13:23have a great week of training.

13:25We can't wait

13:25to see the two of you.

13:26Let's hear it

13:27for Ellie and Vito.

13:28Yay!

13:31Now,

13:32as the competition

13:33starts to take shape,

13:34our couples are all

13:35looking for that extra edge

13:36to improve week on week.

13:38And,

13:39there is no greater edge

13:41than sitting down

13:42with a cup of tea

13:42and a notepad

13:43and listening to

13:44Joanne Clifton

13:45in Choreography Corner.

13:51Joanne Clifton,

14:06everyone.

14:07I mean,

14:07that is,

14:08I'm never going to get

14:08over that groove.

14:09It's a good little groove

14:10you've got going on there.

14:11All right,

14:11let's go straight in.

14:13We're going to kick

14:13things off tonight

14:14with Jimmy and Lauren.

14:15They did a cha-cha-cha.

14:17Now,

14:17Motsi wants Jimmy

14:18to work on his leg action,

14:19specifically knowing

14:20when to bend

14:21and when to straighten

14:22his knees.

14:23What advice

14:24would you give to him?

14:24What did you think of that?

14:25Well,

14:25the thing was,

14:26he came out

14:26and he was,

14:27what they described,

14:28more earth and earthy

14:30cha-cha-cha,

14:30like a cube

14:31and he,

14:31like,

14:31into the...

14:32My people,

14:33you know?

14:33Exactly,

14:34exactly.

14:35And normally,

14:36look at this thing,

14:36and normally,

14:37like,

14:37the judges would be

14:38really on that.

14:39They'd be like,

14:40no,

14:40you need to have

14:40straight legs

14:41in the cha-cha-cha.

14:42So,

14:42I thought to myself,

14:43like,

14:43why did they like it so much?

14:44And it was because

14:45he's so natural at it.

14:46He's got such

14:47a natural feel

14:48and because he was

14:49feeling it,

14:50we were feeling it.

14:50Exactly.

14:51However,

14:52he does need to work on,

14:53I know he's got rumba next week,

14:55so he needs to work on

14:56straightening them legs

14:56because I don't think

14:57they'll let him get away

14:58with it a second time,

14:59especially in a check,

15:00a check,

15:01say,

15:01where it's a step

15:02that you have to

15:03straighten the front

15:05and bend the back

15:06in order to then

15:07change direction.

15:08Yes.

15:08You need to show off

15:09them straight.

15:09So,

15:10he's got to focus

15:10on those knees

15:11for this week.

15:12Yeah.

15:12All right,

15:13let's do now

15:13Alex and Johannes.

15:14They had a samba.

15:15Highest scoring dance

15:17of the night.

15:18Impressive.

15:19But Craig felt

15:20it needed more tone

15:21and hip rotation,

15:22specifically in the Vultas.

15:23Yeah.

15:23So,

15:24what did you think?

15:24Well,

15:24let's have a look

15:25at the Vultas here.

15:26They're coming up

15:27and here they are.

15:28So,

15:28as you can see,

15:29the hips have kind of

15:30stopped a little bit here.

15:31Now,

15:31when we talk about

15:32the hip rotation,

15:32it can mean two things.

15:33And Craig,

15:34I think,

15:35was talking in this occasion

15:36about the figure eight,

15:37which we talked about

15:38last week,

15:38where basically,

15:39it's forward and round

15:40and forward and round.

15:42And Shirley,

15:43a lot of the time,

15:43talks about it

15:44where it's literally

15:45like doing torsion,

15:46like turn and turn,

15:48but keeping the front

15:48of the body,

15:49the top of the body straight.

15:50Yes.

15:50Which she did really well

15:52in like samba walks.

15:55I did want

15:56a little bit more like attack,

15:57a little bit more wow

15:58from her.

15:59So,

15:59I think hopefully like

16:00next week,

16:00we can have a little bit

16:01more like oomph,

16:02a bit more oomph.

16:03Maybe more oomph

16:04then for the next week.

16:05All right,

16:05Vicky and Kai,

16:06a foxtrot,

16:07beautiful foxtrot,

16:07I have to say.

16:09Anton had high praise

16:10for Vicky.

16:11Sharing the dearly

16:12departed Len

16:13would have loved

16:14her heel turn,

16:16specifically.

16:17What did you make

16:18about the foxtrot?

16:19What did you have to say about it?

16:19Well,

16:20she did do some

16:20beautiful heel turns,

16:21which is basically

16:22where you step back,

16:23you close your feet

16:23and you do a little turn

16:25as your partner steps around

16:26and that was amazing.

16:27I just feel like

16:27she's such a natural dancer.

16:29She's so like,

16:30it's like a cosy,

16:31warm feeling

16:32watching her.

16:32You feel safe.

16:33We did have a good frame

16:34at the beginning,

16:35but it got lost

16:36halfway through the dance

16:37where we had the curves,

16:38but then she got

16:38in front of him

16:39and I'll show you

16:40particularly where

16:41in demo time.

16:44I'll have a demo with you.

16:46So,

16:47we're going to do,

16:48we're going to do

16:49a fall away

16:50with Brothers' favourite

16:51unless you do it in practice.

16:52Okay.

16:53And so we're going to go

16:54and one,

16:55two,

16:56three,

16:57four.

16:57Okay?

16:58Yes.

16:58So what Vicky was doing

16:59was changing her head

17:00too early.

17:01One,

17:01two,

17:02here.

17:03Oh, too much.

17:03So I'm in front.

17:04Okay?

17:05If she could just stretch

17:06a little bit more

17:07and turn her head later.

17:08One,

17:09two,

17:09three.

17:10Oh, yes.

17:12Four.

17:12And then you can see

17:13there's a gap

17:13between our heads.

17:14Lucky men

17:15that got to dance with you.

17:17Okay, right.

17:17Let's go on to

17:18Ross and Yavita.

17:20They did a waltz.

17:21Monty, Shirley

17:22and Anton

17:22all agreed that Ross

17:23had really got better

17:25throughout the last week.

17:27But Monty felt

17:27that Ross still needs

17:28to work on his musicality

17:29though.

17:30Yeah.

17:30How would you help

17:31Ross progress?

17:32Well, first of all,

17:33I want to say

17:33that he came out

17:34and he was doing

17:34some lovely heel knees.

17:35I was really,

17:36really pleased

17:36as he looked.

17:37There we go.

17:37Wow.

17:38Lovely, lovely feet.

17:39But then halfway through

17:40it looked like to me

17:41that inside himself

17:43he was counting

17:44or saying

17:45forward,

17:46side,

17:46close

17:46or one,

17:47two,

17:48three.

17:48And it was quite staccato

17:49the way he was counting.

17:50So what he was doing

17:51was cutting short the two

17:52and then his feet

17:53were closing the three

17:54a little bit early

17:55before the beat.

17:56So we didn't have

17:57any like rise and fall

17:58filling out the music

17:59or any sway

18:00or anything like that.

18:01Now,

18:01if you think of a swing

18:02because it is a pendulum action,

18:04one,

18:05two,

18:05three,

18:06one.

18:07We've got all this time,

18:08two,

18:09three,

18:10one.

18:11And the three,

18:12one blends in.

18:13So I think just counting

18:14maybe

18:14in a different way.

18:16extending each count

18:17as much as possible.

18:18Two, three,

18:18one.

18:18Okay.

18:19Will help

18:19rather than going

18:20one,

18:21two,

18:21three.

18:21Okay.

18:22Let's go now

18:23to Karen and Carlos.

18:24They did a tango.

18:25Shirley complimented

18:26Karen's precision

18:27but what stood out

18:29the most to you

18:30in this routine?

18:30I loved the stillness.

18:32There was some positions

18:34at the beginning

18:34of the routine

18:35where she was just

18:35really still

18:36and it was a little bit

18:37like a horror film

18:38in a good way.

18:39In a good way.

18:40You know when the music

18:41completely cuts out

18:42in a horror film

18:42and you're like in it

18:43and then bam,

18:44something happens.

18:45And that's exactly

18:46what she did.

18:46We were in the performance

18:47because she was so still.

18:49Now,

18:49she does have

18:49the spine problem

18:51but I have got

18:51a little cheat

18:52that we can maybe use.

18:54Okay.

18:54Now,

18:54I normally say

18:55the right hip

18:56hooked onto the belt

18:57of your partner.

18:59I'm going to say

18:59move over

19:00a little bit more.

19:02Okay.

19:02A little bit further over.

19:05We'll open up

19:06Carlos' right side

19:07as well.

19:08So,

19:08we'll get a further

19:09over here.

19:10Lift up the chin

19:11and then together

19:12rotate.

19:14Have a little rotation.

19:15So,

19:15she's here

19:16rather than here.

19:18There.

19:19And then rotate.

19:21And I think

19:21that will give

19:22an illusion

19:22of a bigger frame.

19:24All right.

19:24Let's go now

19:24to George and Alexis.

19:26They did a Paso Doble.

19:27What a Paso Doble

19:29as well.

19:29It's my favourite one.

19:30Oh my God.

19:31Monsi wants to see

19:32the more fluidity

19:33from George

19:33when he goes

19:35from foot to foot.

19:36Any advice

19:37that you'd give him

19:38to help him achieve that?

19:39I think it was

19:39a little bit

19:40foot to foot

19:40but also from

19:41figure to figure

19:42like step to step

19:43and there was

19:43just a few more

19:44and look at this.

19:45But this is the

19:45This is what I wanted

19:46to find.

19:46Yes.

19:47But yeah.

19:48So,

19:48it looked like

19:48he was finishing

19:49one step

19:49and then going

19:50OK,

19:51now here's the next one.

19:52So we just need

19:52a little bit

19:53more fluid in that.

19:53But here

19:54as we can see

19:54the lines

19:55I was so impressed

19:56because it's as if

19:57like he had an energy

19:58of a violin string

19:59just like pulled

20:00so tight

20:00and you know

20:01when they're playing

20:01it's like

20:01like that

20:03and it was still

20:04kind of breathing

20:05and moving

20:05but there was

20:06this tension

20:06it was just

20:07right.

20:07He did.

20:07He would have

20:08gave me that

20:08underwater pressure feeling.

20:10That.

20:11Careful of

20:12the feet turned in.

20:13Oh, that's all.

20:14Turn them out.

20:14OK.

20:15Balvinda and Julian

20:16they did a Charleston

20:17close the show.

20:18Amazing.

20:19High praise

20:19from all the judges

20:20and they all noticed

20:21improvement in her as well

20:22but Craig felt

20:23that more energy

20:24was needed

20:24in Balvinda's arms

20:26so what is your verdict?

20:27Do you agree?

20:28Do you think

20:28I slightly agree

20:30but I do think

20:31she did amazingly well

20:32it was a great ending

20:33to the show

20:33and she's obviously

20:34having a great time.

20:35The Charleston's

20:36hungry though.

20:37Yes, with Lindy Hop

20:39as well

20:39aspects of it

20:40you do kind of

20:41fling your arms out

20:42a little bit

20:42but sometimes

20:43you need to

20:43throw them

20:44and then stop

20:46so it gives

20:47the arms purpose

20:47or it gives

20:48a storytelling

20:49kind of thing

20:50and also

20:51with the stop

20:52it looks a bit

20:53more in sync

20:53with your partner

20:54rather than just

20:55going

20:55Yeah, we'll look

20:57cleaner I guess

20:57like you said

20:58Lewis and Katya

20:59Viennese Waltz

21:01Anton and Craig

21:02both praised

21:03Lewis's power

21:04but Anton also

21:05believes that

21:06it's all about

21:06refinement now

21:07for Lewis

21:08so how can Lewis

21:09keep the intensity

21:10while still working

21:12towards this

21:12refinement

21:13that they need

21:13I mean

21:13I liked it

21:15I was more on

21:16Craig and Anton's

21:17side

21:17I thought Shirley

21:18was quite harsh

21:18with them

21:19because if it was

21:20more of a

21:20classical music

21:21like

21:21then yeah

21:24we'd do it soft

21:25but this music

21:26lent itself

21:26and the storytelling

21:27the story that

21:28Katya's created

21:28lent itself to it

21:29however we do

21:30need light and shade

21:31so maybe in some

21:33areas we could have

21:34softened up a little

21:35bit to make the

21:35more powerful ones

21:36even more powerful

21:38yeah

21:38in terms of

21:40head and frame

21:42when he sways

21:43be careful

21:44especially this way

21:44one two three

21:46he was like

21:46swaying and

21:47coming back on

21:48himself

21:48so we want

21:49one two

21:51stretch this side

21:52up to where

21:52you're going

21:53there

21:53and then remember

21:54where you've been

21:55on the other

21:56side

21:56so it keeps

21:57Katya here

21:57rather than

21:58going into

21:59her space

22:00he breaks it

22:00too much a little

22:01bit doesn't he

22:02and gets into

22:02Katya's

22:03but you're right

22:03I mean he was

22:04in a cage

22:05he came out

22:06he did a whole

22:07thing

22:07story to it

22:08which I love

22:09yeah

22:10and we like

22:10seeing different

22:11things on Strictly

22:11so it works

22:12exactly

22:13well you have been

22:14absolutely brilliant

22:15this has been a

22:15lovely two days

22:16can we do it

22:16again sometime

22:18house next Saturday

22:25Strictly history

22:26at the weekend

22:27by becoming

22:28the first contestant

22:29to come out of

22:29hair and makeup

22:30more grey

22:31than when he went

22:32in

22:32and luckily

22:33for him and

22:33Diane

22:33they delivered

22:34a cha-cha-cha

22:35that had the

22:36audience rooting

22:37for them

22:37you have a

22:40brilliant partnership

22:40and you have

22:41a brilliant energy

22:42you guys are

22:43like sunshine

22:44your actual

22:46performance was

22:46very good

22:47but unfortunately

22:48there was quite

22:48an element

22:49that wasn't

22:49quite right

22:50you're picking

22:51your feet up

22:52way too much

22:53which makes

22:54it look stumpy

22:55but full of

22:56content

22:57proper proper

22:57content

22:58baby give it up

23:03for Stefan

23:04and Diane

23:05you said

23:06though on

23:07Saturday night

23:08that the

23:08cha-cha-cha

23:09had you stumped

23:10how do you

23:10feel about it

23:11now

23:11I feel great

23:13because I'm

23:13never going

23:14to do it

23:14again

23:14fair enough

23:18if I can

23:18understand

23:19and then

23:20that was a

23:20routine that

23:20was packed

23:21with so much

23:22content

23:22how much

23:23does that

23:24point to the

23:24trust that you've

23:25got in Stefan

23:25well I think

23:27Stefan has

23:28huge potential

23:29and look

23:29if I don't

23:30push him

23:30we'll never

23:31know

23:32will we

23:32and the

23:33thing is

23:33he did

23:34this routine

23:35so many

23:36times

23:37brilliantly

23:37well

23:38so it's

23:39not like

23:39he wasn't

23:40capable

23:40to do it

23:41it was just

23:42on the night

23:43some bits

23:44sort of

23:44fell apart

23:45but that's

23:45all

23:45you sent me

23:46a really nice

23:46thing over the

23:47weekend

23:47that said

23:48if you don't

23:49make mistakes

23:50no what is it

23:51if you make

23:51mistakes

23:52it shows

23:52you're trying

23:52exactly

23:53I did

23:54I sent him

23:54that because

23:54I knew he

23:55felt a bit

23:55down about it

23:56and that is

23:57the thing

23:58strictly

23:58it's so hard

23:59to go out

24:00there

24:00especially

24:00someone like

24:01Stefan

24:02who's never

24:02done this

24:03before

24:03it's also

24:04new

24:04cha-cha's

24:05a fast

24:05dance

24:06the timing

24:07is so

24:08unique

24:09there's so

24:10much to it

24:11that you're bound

24:13to make a mistake

24:13here or there

24:14and all you can do

24:16is try your best

24:18and that is it

24:18and that is what

24:19he definitely did

24:20exactly

24:20and if you think

24:21about it

24:21all the work

24:22that you do

24:22in the week

24:23for just about

24:2390 seconds

24:24sometimes it just

24:25happens

24:26you know what I mean

24:26so no stress

24:27that's fine

24:28but there was

24:28one part of the

24:29dance that

24:29definitely stood out

24:30and caught the eye

24:31of everyone

24:31Stefan dubbed it

24:33the floor pump

24:34I kind of love

24:36that name

24:37how much fun

24:40was it to learn

24:40that part of the

24:41dance

24:41that was actually

24:42probably one of the

24:43most fun parts

24:44of the whole

24:44training thing

24:45because we never

24:46got it wrong
