01:36MUSIC PLAYS

02:05the results Saturday was a night of firsts our first superstar mentor our

02:11first nines of the series and our first 10 sending Lewis to the top of the

02:16judges leaderboard it was full of action and drama and tonight promises more of

02:21the same as two couples must face the dance off for one of our stars their

02:25strictly story ends this evening and very soon we'll find out who your votes

02:29have kept in the competition but first let's see what the judges and Cynthia

02:34Erivo's thought of our movie week spectacular

02:44what a night movie night delivers again did you ever think we'd have such an

02:53amazing week three ever I'm just completely impressed I'm really glad I

02:59get to take this again couple seem to dance better when you're in town

03:04top of the leaderboard is Lewis followed by Amber and then followed by Harry

03:11stand-up dance for me tonight is definitely loose and Katja I was just

03:16absolutely amazed at what he provided for us today I am absolutely thrilled with

03:24that score like to get a 10 this early on I just didn't expect that also be a night

03:29that I remember for the rest of my life Jimmy's rumba I thought was super the body

03:34was moving at lovely timing I thought it was an excellent excellent performance

03:38the hunt for the newborn is over Jimmy bond is in the house sensational hustle

03:47bond is here feeling absolutely magnificent

03:50what about love what and alias the show of vulnerability and it was all really held and

03:55intimate which was just so lovely to see she can change from character to character which is quite

04:00extraordinary you never see me speechless that was so lovely today

04:05Nellie and Vito that was fantastic from Nellie she really put a heart and soul in

04:11yeah it was like amazing those goals were not what I expect it to be I'm so

04:19honored lights camera action that's it and Valvinda and Julian she's going from

04:25strength to strength I just want to see a bit more from Valvinda I think she's

04:28capable of having some really good footwork yeah as well as being the person that

04:33sells the character at the other end of the leaderboard is Karen Vicky Ross and

04:40Chris can we just talk about Thunderbirds darling Ross doubled his score from me I'm

04:47really proud of what we did tonight even though yes I definitely make a mistake but

04:52you know what we came back Chris and Nadia came back a little stronger this week

04:57and that's all we asked because I thought you did so well you know what I love it I

05:01got sixes six I'm delighted maybe you should be they all did well in their own right but

05:09someone's got to go sort of going home is awful but the thought of losing one of your friends is just as

05:17bad the competition is getting fierce everybody's getting better anything can

05:22happen and anyone can go home I'm hoping I didn't know to get 30 next week I don't

05:30well it's done it to end I'm living the dream this show is amazing I've got the bug for dancing

05:36probably a thing I never thought I'd say I still think there's more for me to come and I would

05:40love to show that it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I'm not done yet Thunderbirds are

05:46go I don't want to go the public now get a chance to judge for themselves I'm trying not to think too

05:56much about the result I think we're all in danger because it's all about the public vote after

06:00seeing what a dance-off is like it seems very tense and ideally I would like to avoid that

06:05now it's time to find out how your votes have shaken up the leaderboard who is safely through to

06:22another week in the ballroom the results are in in no particular order the first couple safely through

06:33is Lewis and Katia joining them in next week's show are Chris and Nadia

17:17Thank you

17:33Magnificent thank you to choreographers Kieran Donovan, Lizzie Goff and our professional dancers

17:38Now it's time for dance debrief, do you know what they call a dance debrief in Paris?

17:43A debrief royale

17:45Please welcome Cynthia and the judges

17:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

17:49Is what the teenage way

17:51And they all both wish the quail

17:53You can see that the age

17:55You can see that the age

17:57Go on, lady

17:58I haven't done a twist forever, darling

17:59Thank you so much for coming up here, Cynthia

18:03It was a joy to have you

18:05Ten of our couples rocketed up with their scores, that is down to you

18:09Genuine question, would you like to be here every week?

18:11Yes, yes I would

18:13I would happily come back every week, if you ask me

18:15Are you proud of them though, collectively?

18:17I really am, I'm really proud of them

18:19Because I know how much I meant it

18:21And how much they appreciated the words that I gave them

18:24And how well they took all of the notes

18:27I can't even believe it

18:29It was almost instant, so I'm really proud of them

18:31I'm really proud of them

18:32You are powerful

18:33And they are adorable

18:34Thank you

18:35Motsi, I'd love to talk about Lavoie

18:37Yes

18:38Because you talked about vulnerability

18:40And maybe just being a bit quieter

18:42Yeah

18:43And she did so well

18:44Put me through it

18:45She did brilliantly

18:46I mean, she wanted to offer herself, you know

18:49Taking that step and saying, okay

18:51I'm going to step out of my showmanship

18:53I'm going to step out of this, you know, comedy role that she's taken

18:56And I'm going to be all honest and open to everyone

18:59And dance as pure as she did

19:01I mean, it was absolutely beautiful

19:03And it takes lots of courage and guts to say

19:06This is me, is everybody going to accept that?

19:10And as I said, I think we all love her

19:12And it's great for us on Strictly that she offers that to us

19:16Okay, thank you

19:17Anton, let's talk about Jimmy's rumba

19:19Oh, yes

19:20The best rumba I think you've seen in 44 years

19:22Well, of all the rumbas I've seen, it was the most recent

19:25And I...

19:26Why did you love it so much?

19:27Do you know, I watched his feet a lot

19:29And he had fabulous footwork

19:30And a couple of times, he was so over his feet

19:33His heels lifted off the floor

19:35And I thought that was really impressive

19:37Because his weight's in the right place

19:38And he did a lovely thing

19:39He not only went from side to side

19:41He went forwards and backwards with his body as well

19:43And there's a couple of moments where he had this lovely breath

19:45Through his chest

19:46Gave him an extra dimension

19:48And it's like third dimension through his body

19:50And that translated into Lauren and through the music as well

19:56So I loved the feel, I loved the fullness of the dance

20:00And I loved the relationship between the two of them through the dance

20:04I thought it was a wonderful performance

20:05Absolutely

20:06Also worth saying

20:07Very difficult song to sing

20:09Oh

20:10Done beautifully by Natalie

20:11Yeah

20:12Just wanted to say that out loud

20:13Craig, there was quite a hoo-ha after George's dance

20:16Everybody loved it

20:17You gave him a six

20:18Yeah

20:19I'm going with everybody else is correct

20:21Explain yourself

20:22Well, it's because I feel that it wasn't as in sync as it could have been

20:28Or, in fact, should have been

20:30And this goes, it's not just K-pop

20:32I'm talking about any time you are dancing side by side

20:36And you're doing exactly the same step

20:38It needs to be precise

20:39It has to have major, sharp precision

20:43Otherwise, it's going to look like one person is wrong

20:47Obviously, I love George

20:50Yeah, good

20:51He is amazing

20:52That dance was extremely difficult

20:55Extremely difficult

20:56For someone that has never danced before as well

20:58Yeah

20:59And I think he did a fantastic job

21:01However, that being said

21:03He still was not in sync with his partner

21:06OK

21:07Thank you, Craig

21:08Shirley, you said that every week

21:10You would love to see improvement

21:12So, can we please talk about Ellie?

21:14Because what a samba that was

21:17Well, first of all, she came on and she had the most incredible bounce

21:20Yes

21:21And then she had all sorts of flurries

21:23She was shaking her shoulders

21:24She was staying in tune with her partner

21:26Now, what this shows me is that she is adapting every single week

21:30To the different dance that is coming on

21:33And she's following great direction

21:35Not only from the judges' constructive criticism

21:37But also from Vito's work ethic with her

21:40Yeah

21:41And I just think that they've now found this very special bond

21:44And she's really...

21:46I mean, we were all very surprised

21:48Yes

21:49It's a very difficult dance for some

21:50Yes

21:51And I thought Ellie did it just superbly

21:53She really did

21:54Thank you

21:55And as our head judge

21:57How lovely has it been for you and the rest of you to have Cynthia with you?

22:02Well, first of all, Cynthia, what can we say on behalf of all of us?

22:05I wish we could have you every week

22:07Yes

22:08You mentor from your heart

22:09Yes

22:10And not only are you a great mentor

22:12You're a wonderful, wonderful lady inside and out

22:14Thank you

22:15And we've enjoyed every single moment of having you on the show

22:18We're honoured, we're humble

22:20And with gratitude, we thank you

22:22Correct!

22:24I've got everybody here

22:26We love you, Cynthia

22:28Before we close, just a moment of appreciation for the greatest scenic team on earth

22:35Yes

22:36Have a look at this

22:37APPLAUSE

22:40This is marvellous

22:41This isn't actually sped up

22:43This is actually...

22:44It's incredible

22:47Unbelievable

22:52Just fascinating

22:53Ha ha ha

22:56Wow

22:57Wow

23:02They are amazing

23:04Absolute artists

23:07Let's hear it to the judges

24:18Well done, well done.

24:21Thank you very much.

24:22Well done.

24:23Ticken!

24:27And the final couple safe for now is...

24:35Jimmy and Lauren.

24:46Well done.

24:48Four couples remaining.

24:49Two of you will be facing tonight's dance-off.

24:52Let's have a chat with the judges.

24:55Shirley, you are back in the hot seat this week with the casting vote.

24:59How are you feeling about that?

25:00Well, it has been and it always will be the most difficult part of the show for me.

25:05Because I feel that each and every contestant puts their best foot forward.

25:09And on behalf of all of us, we never like to see anybody go home.

25:12So I'm just hoping it happens to me what happened to Motsi last week and everybody can agree.

25:18Thank you very much.

25:20Now to Claude with our second set of Safe Couples.

25:23Thank you, Tess.

25:24Thank you, Tess.

25:25Spirits are high up here.

25:26George, congratulations through to another week.

25:27Talk to me about the friendships and the camaraderie between you all.

25:28Oh, yeah.

25:29No, I think everybody's getting on really well.

25:30You can see up here when everybody's watching each other's performances.

25:31It's very, like, uplifting, sort of, really nice, sort of, morale.

25:32Yeah.

38:02Ross and Yavita have given it their all, next to perform with their Foxtrot, it's Balvinda and Jules!

38:19Some day, when I'm awfully low, when the world is cold, I will feel a glow.

38:40Just thinking of you and the way you look tonight.

38:49With each word, your tenderness flows, tearing my fear apart.

39:10And it's that, because your nose touches my foolish heart.

39:24Lovely, never, never change.

39:33Keep that breathless charm, won't you please arrange it?

39:41Cos I love you and the way you look tonight.

39:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

40:06Ross and Yavita and Balvinda and Julian have done all they can.

40:12Judges, it is time to decide.

40:15Based on that dance-off alone, I'm about to ask each of you the name of the couple you think deserves to stay and why.

40:26The couple with the most votes will remain in the competition, meaning the other couple will leave Strictly Come Dancing.

40:32In the event of a tie, our judge with the casting vote, that is you this week, Shirley, will have the final say.

40:43Anton, we'll start with you.

40:45Who do you want to send through to next week and why?

40:48Well, I just thought that was an excellent, excellent dance-off.

40:52Both couples dance better than they did on Saturday night.

40:55I think they should both be very proud of themselves.

40:57They put on a very good show, put on a very good fight.

41:00But I'd like to save and send through to next week, Balvinda and Julian.

41:11Craig, who do you think deserves to stay in the competition and why?

41:15For style and musicality, I would like to save Balvinda and Julian.

41:24Two votes for Balvinda and Julian.

41:27If Motsi now votes to save them, that means they are through to next week.

41:32Motsi, who would you like to see back in the Strictly Ballroom and why?

41:36Well, I think both couples should be very proud of their performance.

41:40This was really an elevated performance.

41:43There was just one couple that was on a different level and I will be saving Balvinda and Julian.

41:49Balvinda and Julian, congratulations.

41:54That means we are, of course, going to have to say goodbye to Ross and Evita if you could come and join me.

42:04Shirley, we didn't need your casting vote tonight.

42:10But did you agree with your fellow judges?

42:12I would have saved Balvinda and Julian.

42:14You would have done. Thank you so much.

42:16Oh, sweetheart. Thank you.

42:22So sad to see you go.

42:24Every single person on Strictly front and backstage absolutely loves you and thinks the world of you.

42:32That's a genuine fact.

42:33Oh, thank you.

42:34Have you enjoyed your time with us?

42:35I have loved every single minute of it.

42:38I want to say thank you to everyone who supported us.

42:50All the people who voted have been amazing.

42:52I want to thank everyone here in this room, backstage, the judges, the crew.

42:58Every single person here has made it so, so welcome.

43:02And I want to thank a very special lady who has been with me through all and has been absolutely everything.

43:11She's been a mentor, a teacher, a carer.

43:14She's done it.

43:15She's been absolutely everything.

43:16Barista.

43:17Barista as well.

43:18I could not have wished for a better partner and I could not have wished to have been on a better show.

43:23And thank you, judges, for all your remarks.

43:25So gracious.

43:27And Yavita, you called Ross Wilkins.

43:32Yes.

43:33And I still stand by it.

43:36Thank you so much for all your hard work.

43:39For everything you've done during rehearsals, out of rehearsals.

43:44Like, we laugh a lot.

43:47But we also cried.

43:49So thank you so much.

43:51And I hope I'm going to be like a little part in your life right now.

43:55So, you know.

43:56You know that.

43:57So sweet.

43:58So lovely.

44:01Ross, you came back to the UK for us for Strictly and we are so grateful that you did.

44:08Thank you, Jess.

44:09We've really loved having you.

44:10One show to come back for.

44:11It was this one.

44:12So thank you.

44:13Thank you, everyone.

44:15Thank you for joining us.

44:16Yeah, just stay.

44:17If you could be so kind as to take your place for one last dance.

44:23Thank you so much, Ross.

44:24We'll miss you.

44:25Ross and Yvita will join Fleur and Jeanette on It Takes Two this week on BBC Two.

44:38We'll be back next Saturday at 6.30 when our couples will perform again to try and secure your votes.

44:44But now with their farewell dance, it is the very wonderful Ross and Yvita.

44:52Alright.

44:53Cheers.

44:54Come on.

45:12I don't want to utterly sleep

45:14Cause I miss you, baby

45:16And I know I won't miss you, babe

45:19See you when I dream it, girl

45:23Sweetest dream when we'll never do us

45:26I miss you, baby

45:28And I know I won't miss you, babe

45:42In the darkest night
