00:00Please welcome your host, Fleur East.

00:30Hello, and welcome to your Tuesday edition of It Takes Two on BBC Two and iPlayer.

00:37It's only Tuesday, but we know you are already missing the sequence, sparkle and shiny celebs.

00:43And of course, we're It Takes Two, and we can't have you going a day without your Strictly Bill.

00:49So here's what we have coming up for you tonight.

00:53Lavoie's heartfelt waltz left her flying high on Saturday night.

00:57Chris and Aliash are here to chat us through how they're still pecking away at perfecting that technique and talking us through their nest step.

01:07And Miss Congeniality's high energy cha-cha-cha was a hit with all of the judges apart from Craig.

01:14We'll be discussing the claims that Kaz was criminally undermarked shortly.

01:17Maybe we will need an FBI agent after all.

01:20And Neil Jones is back.

01:24He's here to talk us through his thoughts on our remaining couples from Saturday night.

01:30Now, despite gliding through movie week with a classy foxtrot, Balvinda and Julian found themselves in the dreaded dance-off for the first time.

01:38But like any good movie, they're already planning their sequel comeback.

01:41Someday, be still my beating heart.

01:47Lovely dancing that was.

01:49You have a wonderful hold of what music can do to the body.

01:53And when you listen to it, we can see it.

01:56The held moments just need to be a little softer.

01:59But it was elegant.

02:01It had grace, my darling.

02:02And much more confidence.

02:04Please welcome Balvinda and Julian.

02:11Now, before we get into the dance-off, let's start with Saturday night, okay?

02:15So, this was Bal's first ballroom, Jules.

02:17How impressed were you with her performance?

02:19I was really impressed, especially because of the first, you know, ballroom dance that we had was foxtrot,

02:23which, you know, is one of the harder ballroom dances.

02:27I mean, in, you know, for example, in a waltz, you have rise and fall, but you can actually rise and fall.

02:31Whereas in foxtrot, you know, you need to be much smoother and much more progressive along the floor.

02:36But, and also, the character that we have, you know, Fred and Ginger, two absolute icons in an iconic time.

02:44But I thought you were absolutely stunning.

02:47I just had so much fun.

02:50Yeah.

02:50To the point where, you know, when we had to go in for the dance-off, I was actually like, oh, you know what?

02:54I'm actually kind of chuffed we get to do this again.

02:56Yeah, we get to do it again.

02:57Let's go again.

02:58She was stunning.

02:59Absolutely stunning.

02:59Well, elegance, grace, class, charm, that's how the judges described your foxtrot.

03:04Even though the technique didn't quite land, how proud are you that you still brought the emotion out in the performance?

03:10Yeah, I'm very proud.

03:11When I watched it back, I thought it looked absolutely beautiful.

03:15We played the parts really beautifully.

03:18I think audiences connected with it as well.

03:20You know, there was a real warmth to the foxtrot.

03:23And it was beautiful to dance as well.

03:26Like, I felt like we were connected.

03:29You were definitely connected.

03:30Someone went a bit.

03:31It was lovely.

03:32Craig even picked up on your improved confidence on the dance floor.

03:35Have you felt that as well?

03:36Yes, I think so.

03:37I think each week it gets slightly easier because you kind of know the formula now.

03:42Confidence-wise.

03:43Confidence-wise.

03:44No, look, it's been six years since I've been on stage, you know, and so to kind of come and do something like this was really scary at first.

03:57But, yeah, I think the more you do it, the more comfortable you get with the fact that there's audiences there.

04:01They're there to cheer you on.

04:02They want to see you do well.

04:04And all you've got to do is just go out there and dance.

04:06And I love it.

04:07Every single night, Jules is like, well, every single Saturday, Jules is like, it's just me and you, pal.

04:11It's just me and you.

04:12It just, it makes my night.

04:14Well, it's all about the experience that you have, right?

04:16And if you're enjoying it, then we enjoy it with you.

04:19And a lot of people online have all the confidence in you.

04:22Amy said this.

04:24Hugely and unnecessarily critiqued and massively underscored.

04:28Bao was sensational.

04:29I had tears in my eyes.

04:30Beautiful dance.

04:32There's a lot of emotion.

04:33Well, what's the support been like since the weekend?

04:36It's been incredible, actually.

04:38My phone was on fire with messages of support and, you know, people disagreeing with the outcome,

04:48which kind of restored a little bit of confidence in me, you know, that we are hitting all the right tones with the public,

04:56which is a great thing.

04:58I think people thought that we were safe, which is maybe why they didn't vote for us.

05:03But, you know, at the same time, there's always going to be two couples in the bottom.

05:08And you just never know, you know, which way it's going to go.

05:12And at the end of the day, it's about, you know, how you kind of take on those challenges and those hurdles.

05:17And, yeah, I thought we handled it really well.

05:20I think we handled it really well.

05:22We were weirdly really calm.

05:23I was actually more stressed about the fact that Bao was calm because I was like, either she is pumped, she's ready to go,

05:30or it's absolutely fallen apart.

05:34No.

05:34I didn't know which way it was, but deep down I knew that we were going to just go out there and just do our thing.

05:40So let's look ahead, where you'll be dancing a Paso, to this.

05:45Diablo Rojo, Rodrigo y Gabriela.

05:48Wow, I can feel the vibes already.

05:51It's early days, but what are your thoughts on the Paso so far, Bao?

05:54Yeah, I mean, it's hot.

06:00It's passionate and fiery and strong and bold, and it's got a lot of attitude.

06:07And I'm looking forward to bringing that.

06:10What a dance for us to come back with.

06:13You know what I mean?

06:14Like, obviously, I thought we did really well with the Foxtrot, we danced beautifully, but even character-wise,

06:19we want to come back fighting, and we want to show everyone that we want to be here, that we deserve to be here,

06:24and I just don't think there's a better dance or song, really, that we could have gotten.

06:28It's the perfect style. Perfect style for it.

06:29And footwork and technique were a big thing for the judges, especially Shirley, on Saturday.

06:34So how are you approaching this with Bao in training to master that?

06:40So I'm just being really, really, really tough.

06:45Really? Yeah.

06:46So we're just approaching it from every different angle, but it's about just repetition, repetition, repetition.

06:53And, you know, it's just going through every single foot position in the routine and being really pedantic with it.

06:59Sometimes, I dare say, my Aussie attitude gets a little bit like, yeah, it's coming, it's coming.

07:04But I have to, like, I'm like, yeah, wait, wait, wait, no!

07:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.

07:07Yeah!

07:07So I just have to, like, let's go, channel a bit of, yeah, a bit more fire.

07:12Yeah, last week it was about bringing the effortless chemistry.

07:15So what are you bringing to this week?

07:17Some fiery passion.

07:19A hundred percent, yeah.

07:20Yeah, fiery passion.

07:22Honestly, I can see it in your eyes, actually.

07:24I can see both of you are, like, you're, like, ready, ready and charged.

07:27I cannot wait.

07:28Good luck with training.

07:29It's Balbinder and Julian!

07:30CHEERING

07:31CHEERING

07:31Our next guest delivered a beautiful waltz that opened up a different side of themselves on the dance floor,

07:40proof that it's not all about the jokes and laughter.

07:42Just like us, here are it takes two.

07:44Super serious, full of emotion, absolutely no time for jokes.

07:48Isn't that right, Neil?

07:49Brr!

07:50Brr!

07:51Brr!

07:53Brr!

07:53Let's remind ourselves of Lavoie and Aliash's dance.

07:58Shoo!

07:59Brr!

08:00Brr!

08:00I think you are so real and authentic.

08:05And in whatever way you put yourself on the dance floor, I think you're beautiful.

08:09I watched you just take the risk and be really, really vulnerable tonight.

08:14And that is something special that you now know that you have.

08:17When you give us this serious side, it adds so many layers to your performances.

08:22It was beautiful.

08:25It's Chris and Aliash!

08:28What a stunning performance.

08:30Four sevens as well.

08:32Lavoie's highest score yet!

08:33Yes!

08:34Yes!

08:35It was nice to watch that back.

08:38It was a beautiful moment.

08:39She really stripped it all back for last week.

08:42What did you make of the performance?

08:44I think she did very, very well.

08:46The grey hair.

08:47Oh, the grey hair.

08:48The raggy clothes.

08:49She could have thrown a strop, do you know what I mean?

08:51But luckily, you know, she...

08:53I think she pulled...

08:54I think it was a very, very big challenge for her.

08:56I think we all saw that.

08:57And I think she worked really hard to get the simplicity and the beauty across.

09:02Do you think it worked?

09:03A hundred percent.

09:04I think it more than worked.

09:05And I was always kind of, like, wondering if and when to do that.

09:09And I felt like week three of the competition, obviously, very lucky that we still get to do it.

09:14But that was, I think, like, the perfect time to try and sort of attempt that.

09:18And I think it went more than well.

09:19Yes, the song, the dance, everything was, like, the perfect time.

09:22I'm trying to be really serious and beautiful, but it could have gone really wrong with CGI pigeons around.

09:26I thought, oh, no, it could have gone very wrong at any moment.

09:30What CGI pigeons?

09:31All of a sudden, you know, she's gone.

09:33Yeah, what CGI?

09:33Yeah, no, sorry, real pigeons.

09:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.

09:35Real pigeons.

09:36We're still in the studio.

09:37We're trained for hours.

09:38Well, as well as getting into character, you focused a lot on the technique last week.

09:42Aliash, how much do you think putting all the focus on the finer details paid off out there on the dance floor?

09:47I think putting an effort into finer details pays off every single week onto the dance floor.

09:52I mean, whatever dance you do, you've got to start at the technique.

09:55Sorry, I keep looking there because it's going to happen, but did I miss it?

09:58Yeah, I was going to say, speaking of focus, you missed it.

10:01I missed it.

10:01Oh, you're the reading out thing.

10:03Yeah, we really went to town on it as well.

10:05He really helped him with his reading as well.

10:07Should we do it again?

10:08Should we put it up for you again, Aliash?

10:10Yeah, go on.

10:11You missed it.

10:11You can't miss it.

10:12There you go.

10:13We mustache him questions about that.

10:18We mustache him.

10:19Nice.

10:20See, that's why I've got it.

10:21I missed it.

10:22Do you know what?

10:23Every single dance on Strictly, you've got to focus on technique, but especially when it gets to ballroom.

10:28I always like to say you've got to build from the foundations up.

10:31And technique in ballroom benefits the whole picture more than you can imagine.

10:36And being neat with your feet, closing your feet, and, you know, opening your feet when you need.

10:41It really helps with the frame, it helps with dynamic, it helps with everything.

10:46And I'm so glad that we did that.

10:49And with waltz, it's not the easiest, but because it's the slowest, you can kind of, you know, really notice all of those moments.

10:56Yes, you're more exposed.

10:58Exactly.

10:58So that's why it was good, because then the judges noticed, and I was really, really glad that they did.

11:02Well, Aliash, before we move on to the next dance, we need to talk about this.

11:05Yeah, that's not me.

11:09That's actually not me.

11:10That's actually Jason Momoa.

11:12Well, the thing is, you actually really look quite like him there.

11:15Yeah.

11:15I mean, look, I was very, very pleased when they told me that I'm going to be doing this role.

11:22But then I sort of asked myself why.

11:24And I think it's because I'm basically a body double of Jason Momoa.

11:29Yes.

11:29You know, so I think great casting.

11:32I mean, you can go from him to a pigeon like that.

11:34Yeah.

11:34And that's why you're booked and versatile.

11:36The versatility.

11:37Versatility.

11:38This is it.

11:38OK, moving on to next week, you're dancing a cha-cha-cha to this.

11:43Hit me with your best shot.

11:45Pat Benatar, hit me with your best shot.

11:48What a song.

11:49Now, you said the waltz was a hard dance to master.

11:52How's the cha-cha-cha comparing?

11:54Well, this could be dangerous, because there's moves in this choreography.

11:57If it goes wrong, one of us could be knocked out.

11:59Oh.

12:00Because we're taking hit me with your best shot within the choreography.

12:02Literally.

12:03There is drops to the floor.

12:05You're going to see acrobatics from you.

12:08I'm making this up now.

12:09You better put some in that choreography.

12:11It's going to be wonderful.

12:12Why would you say that, though?

12:13We're going to do it.

12:14We've got to build the journey.

12:15People are going to expect it now.

12:16It's all about the journey.

12:16LaVoie will want the journey.

12:18She's thrilled to be through this week, because it gets her off jury service she was booked for.

12:22So she's really happy.

12:23But LaVoie's dance partner can't do those things.

12:26Yes, he can.

12:27Yes, he can.

12:28Shirley said that she thinks LaVoie is going to unleash a whole new power on this competition.

12:33What powers can we expect, Aliash?

12:34Oh, my gosh.

12:35I'm genuinely worried, actually.

12:38Because the dance and the story of the dance, like Chris just said, it is very, very intense.

12:48I think that's the best way to put it.

12:50And if you kind of do one move too soon or one move too late, it can be seriously dangerous.

12:55Yes, so keep on my right side.

12:56For anyone, yeah.

12:58There's a lot of jeopardy in this.

12:59It is.

12:59I'm shaking, actually.

13:01And you're dancing to an 80s classic.

13:03How are you going to make sure that you hit the dance floor with your best shot?

13:07Right.

13:07We are going to unleash glamour and fabulousness, 80s style, this week.

13:12No more grey hair wigs.

13:13Okay.

13:14She's going to bring out the glamour.

13:15Maybe Tess and Claudie need to step up their game this week, because LaVoie's going to really knock it out the park.

13:20Oh, I am thrilled.

13:22I cannot wait to see this.

13:24And the acrobatics as well.

13:25Yes.

13:26Good luck in training.

13:28It's Chris and Aliash.

13:30We've said it now.

13:35With so much action on Saturday night, who better to break down all the moves than the pro who's done them all?

13:40He's back to chat through our remaining couples.

13:42It's Neil Jones in Choreography Corner.

13:44It's Neil Jones, everyone.

14:05Nice to see you back in normal attire, taking the show seriously.

14:08Of course.

14:09As you should.

14:10Let's talk about Saturday night's dancers, Chris and Nadia, and their Paso.

14:13Last week, Motsi wanted Chris to have an alter ego.

14:17And this week, he embodied the character of Thor.

14:19How do you think the characterisation helped him this week?

14:22I actually think it is so important for Chris to have an alter ego.

14:26I think it's brilliant, because he really got into the character.

14:28You see him there.

14:29For someone that's an athlete, what happens is they concentrate way too much on what they've got to do.

14:36Here, he's not.

14:36You can see it in his face.

14:38He's adding that character to his dance, which improves the performance.

14:41And that's what we've been missing so far.

14:43So I think that's really good.

14:44And I want to see him with more characters every week.

14:47And I think that could be good for him.

14:48OK, that could be the secret poison they mean.

14:51The secret ingredient.

14:52There we go.

14:53On to George and Alexis, the couple's choice.

14:55Cynthia praised the way that George threw himself into the routine.

14:58But Anton felt that the first half was a little reserved and lacked edge.

15:02What did you think?

15:03Do you know what?

15:03I have to say, I love you, Anton, but I disagree.

15:06Oh?

15:06So this is, for me, it's the style.

15:09It's a groove.

15:10It's like he's showing what he's got.

15:12And you'll see by the little trick in a minute what he does.

15:14How he can just take her with ease and take her over.

15:17Yeah.

15:18That's his style.

15:19His coolness.

15:19Street dance.

15:20Commercial.

15:21It's not all about hard hitting.

15:23And I think he picked just right what he was doing.

15:25I know through the routine there were some moments where they weren't quite in sync.

15:30But I think that doesn't matter because they're a new partnership.

15:32They're growing together.

15:34And I really think it can be really good.

15:36I actually really like this partnership.

15:38I think it's a good one.

15:39On to Amber and Nikita and their American Smooth.

15:42There was a lot packed into this.

15:44Benchography.

15:45Bikeography.

15:46Craig called it Oscar worthy.

15:48How did Nikita choreograph to Amber's strengths in this routine?

15:51You know what?

15:52This is what I'm talking about.

15:53That energy, that connection.

15:55They have it already, which is absolutely brilliant.

15:57And Nikita knows that Amber has great musicality.

16:01She has a great and beautiful line.

16:03So he works on that.

16:04And you see that through all of this.

16:06He's working on the aspects that she's the best at.

16:09And I think he's made an incredible piece of choreography there.

16:13And if they do manage to go all the way to the final,

16:16I feel that this is a number they should bring back

16:18because I think this will get a 40.

16:20Oh, OK.

16:22I said it.

16:22I said it right here.

16:23He's done it again.

16:23Yeah.

16:24On to Jimmy and Lauren and the Rumba.

16:26Now, Anton liked that Jimmy moved all the time.

16:29But Shirley wanted to see a change of speed and pace.

16:31How do you think this would have helped?

16:34Do you know what?

16:34I have to agree with Shirley in that way

16:36because I like a routine with dynamical changes.

16:39I think it's really important.

16:40It makes it more interesting.

16:42You've just seen there from Jimmy.

16:43He has his moment.

16:44Yeah.

16:45Throughout the routine,

16:46he did have moments where we saw those dynamical changes.

16:50Do you know what?

16:50I'm just going to show you.

16:51Let me give you a demo time.

16:53You know how I love it.

16:54Demo time.

16:56Now, throughout the routine,

16:59they were using the Cuban action.

17:01So that's the two, three, four timing.

17:04Now, that's normal and Rumba.

17:05That's what we want to see.

17:05Now, what Shirley's talking about is

17:07that you might have the two, three, four,

17:10but then all of a sudden it may be like,

17:12and one.

17:12Oh.

17:13So it's a change.

17:13So that's what we saw there.

17:14We saw that.

17:15Two, three, four, and two.

17:18He added it.

17:19Now, I think he added it in just the right moment.

17:22I feel if he had added it any more,

17:24it might have overtaken,

17:26and he might not have looked good in a Rumba.

17:27And we all know a Rumba is quite hard for males.

17:30Yes.

17:30So I actually think the choreography was really good,

17:33and Lauren picked the right moments to add it in.

17:36OK, wonderful.

17:37Next up, let's talk about Ellie and Vito and their samba.

17:40Now, the judges once again praised her musicality,

17:43and Motsi acknowledged how well Ellie coped

17:45with the rhythm changes.

17:47Where could you see that,

17:48and what made it so impressive?

17:50Do you know what?

17:50I actually saw that throughout,

17:52and I thought it was incredible.

17:54Now, we always talk about samba being one of the hardest dancers

17:57because we have different rhythm changes.

17:59Now, most dances will just have one rhythm.

18:02That's it.

18:03They have three rhythm groups added there,

18:05and that was what was so brilliant,

18:07because normally it's like you'd go from one rhythm

18:09and then you would just keep doing that all the way through.

18:12Let me not talk about it.

18:13Let me do another demo type.

18:14Another one?

18:15Is that two?

18:16Yes!

18:17Two demos!

18:18That's outrageous!

18:19I know!

18:20Oh, don't stop me.

18:21OK, so normally we have a bounce action in a samba,

18:24so it's like one, a two, one, a two.

18:27Now, if you go into another rhythm which is flat,

18:30which we then say is slow and quick,

18:31slow, quick, quick, slow, quick, quick.

18:34What happens when people are not used to it,

18:36they do the bounce action,

18:38you'd see them stop and then go into the next.

18:40What's really important is we have a bounce action

18:42and we use that bounce to then go into the slow and quick.

18:48Now, that's what she was doing really well.

18:50She would go from one action to another

18:51and it was the way she used her body

18:54and an action all the way through.

18:55I was very impressed.

18:57I thought it was good.

18:59And actually, I would have scored her higher, personally.

19:01Nice.

19:02Ellie's got some moves.

19:03OK, on to Harry and Karen and their salsa.

19:05Now, his energy was praised again.

19:08But Shirley and Craig wanted to see more fluidity

19:10in his transitions.

19:11What do they mean by this

19:12and where could he have been more fluid in the routine?

19:15Do you know, I always, in that way,

19:18I agree that I like to see fluidity.

19:20But I actually feel he's showing fluidity throughout.

19:23Like, this was a really good number for Harry

19:25because we've seen him with all of this power and energy.

19:29This was a moment we actually got to see more of his musicality.

19:32Now, because he has that power and energy,

19:35you'll see him, like, chuck someone over

19:37or, you know, he'll be pumping into something

19:39really fast and sharp.

19:40This motion, he was using his body a lot.

19:43Now, he's got a fantastic body.

19:45It reminds me of myself sometimes.

19:47But it's just the way he was flowing around

19:50and he went one thing or another.

19:51It was so calm.

19:53It looked great.

19:53And I really enjoyed that.

19:55And if we can keep seeing more of that from him,

19:57we're going to see that musicality that he has.

20:00Yes, it's all about the balance, the light and shade.

20:02Very, you know, and it was a traditional salsa.

20:04That's what I loved about it.

20:05And I want to see more of that.

20:07OK, moving on to Alex and Johannes.

20:09They did their quick step.

20:10She fully embraced the character of Miranda Priestly.

20:13However, Craig and Shirley spotted some gapping

20:15and Anton felt her head was turned too much to the left.

20:19Do you agree?

20:20And how can she fix this?

20:21Yeah, OK, I do agree,

20:23but I don't think it's a problem at the moment.

20:25Because, again, week three, we're in this transitional period

20:28where we're learning new things.

20:29Now, the bottom part of her body is incredible

20:32and she has a great line.

20:34Now, what's going to happen,

20:35as she gets more and more used to that,

20:37they'll be able to come closer and closer together

20:39and they'll create that form

20:40and that shape will go further out

20:42and her head position will improve.

20:44So I feel the fact that they've started from the bottom

20:46and working their way up,

20:48it's just going to get better and better.

20:50Now, if they had gone,

20:51oh, let's get the perfect frame,

20:52what might have happened is they're getting in each other's way

20:55and then they would have gone footwork wasn't good,

20:57the bottom wasn't good, you know.

20:59So I actually think they made the right choices

21:01and that's going to keep improving.

21:02Well, in the words of Miranda, that's all.

21:05Thank you so much, Neil Jones.

21:07We'd love to have you.

21:08Fancy coming back next week?

21:09Yeah, you know what?

21:09I think I'm free, so why not?

21:11OK, wonderful.

21:12Thanks for checking your diary.

21:13It's Neil Jones, everyone!

21:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

21:15Next up, from the pitch to the pageant,

21:21on Saturday, our lioness pulled off

21:22a cha-cha-charming performance.

21:25But after Craig awarded them a four,

21:27do Karen and Carlos think he's the one

21:29who should take some lessons in etiquette?

21:31We'll be getting all the tea next.

21:35There is an enormous physicality

21:37about the way you dance.

21:38Sometimes you get a bit too much

21:39and it throws your balance,

21:41but it's terrific.

21:42You could just refine things.

21:45So a little bit more rotation in your base,

21:47but this is like a full-on competitive routine,

21:50which you executed well.

21:53You are attack, attack, attack,

21:54and that's the way to be on this dance floor.

21:56Well done.

21:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

22:00Yes, it's Karen and Carlos, everyone!

22:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

22:04Before we get stuck in,

22:06we need to talk about this moment, OK?

22:09You're used to jogging out onto football pitches

22:11and then, look, you just wow us

22:13with that glam opening.

22:15How did you feel in that moment?

22:17Oh, erm...

22:18All on your own as well!

22:20I know.

22:20I was...

22:22That was intimidating for me.

22:23That was really intimidating

22:24because to do all that,

22:25to do it on your own

22:26and to really, like, give it some...

22:28Erm...

22:29But he gave me the confidence.

22:30He was like, come on, just go for it.

22:32And that's what I did.

22:33And you know what?

22:34I'm actually really proud of that.

22:35I'm really, really proud of that

22:37because it was so...

22:39It was a lot for me.

22:40But I did it.

22:41And that's what I want to do.

22:42I want to get my confidence on this show.

22:43Yes.

22:44Now, on our sofa last week, Carlos,

22:46you said that you handed over your tiara to Kaz.

22:49Did our Miss Congeniality do you proud?

22:52Oh, 100%.

22:53You know, I actually got quite emotional

22:55when I watched her coming down the stairs

22:57and seeing her turning into a front football pitch.

23:00We know what's Karen look like on the launch show.

23:02And in week...

23:03Three weeks in, she was like that.

23:05And I was...

23:06It's everything.

23:07I'm speechless.

23:08I'm just so proud.

23:10And she trusted herself

23:11and she trusted me and work as a team.

23:13And she really won for it.

23:15You did.

23:15You didn't hold back.

23:16I loved it.

23:17You also took your role as Miss Congeniality

23:19very seriously.

23:20This was you backstage.

23:22Oh.

23:23She actually loves that more than...

23:25That was the role I owned.

23:26I owned that role.

23:27I just absolutely love it.

23:28You're like fully in character.

23:30I didn't let people pass.

23:31They had to have their badge.

23:32I was really strict on the security.

23:35Yeah.

23:35You did a lot as well.

23:36It was all about getting into the character.

23:37You had etiquette lessons, walking in heels.

23:41What were the main things that you learnt about becoming a lady?

23:44The heels was a challenge.

23:46I'm trying to keep wearing them.

23:48He's like, can you try and sleep in them?

23:49I can see.

23:50I'm impressed you got them on tonight.

23:51Yeah, I'm really, really trying.

23:53But, you know, I love the etiquette lessons as well.

23:56That was a lot of fun.

23:57It was fun, wasn't it?

23:58We had a really good week and we enjoyed it.

24:01And like you said, I think in the tango,

24:03I was frustrated that I probably held back.

24:06And I was like, I'm not going to do that.

24:08Like, I know I have to maintain that power and control it.

24:10And I take on board the judge's feedback.

24:13But my way is to go for it.

24:15I don't want to have regrets.

24:16Yes.

24:17And so I've just got to learn how to not have regrets and go for it,

24:20but adding that finesse.

24:21And I'm going to try.

24:22Oh, I'm seeing it.

24:23We love the effort.

24:24You had a lot of support online as well.

24:26And we've seen so many comments, including,

24:28Karen Carney came to slay, criminally undermarked,

24:32and Craig gave her a four.

24:34It's outrageous.

24:36I know.

24:36Outrageous.

24:37Look at all these comments.

24:38Just how outrageous was that four from Craig Carlos?

24:42Come on, spill the tea.

24:43Tell us the truth.

24:44We love Craig dearly.

24:46And, you know, and also we're trying to aim to make him happy.

24:49If he gave us four to make him happy, we'd go for it.

24:52But, you know, actually, I was laughing because I couldn't hurt myself.

24:57It was very funny, actually.

24:58He gave us four.

25:00It never turned into a fire on us.

25:03I was like, oh, we're going to work on it,

25:04and we're going to make him happy next time.

25:06We'll see.

25:07Yes, exactly.

25:08You just keep working harder.

25:10Keep coming back with more energy.

25:11To please him, you know that.

25:12He's quite hard to please, I know.

25:13But now that you understand the role of Miss Congeniality so well,

25:17who would you say is Miss Congeniality of the class of 2025?

25:22Carlos.

25:23Carlos.

25:24I'm giving the crown back.

25:26Oh, he's got it back.

25:27I don't think he ever really gave it to you.

25:29He took it back.

25:31He took it back to me.

25:32He took it back.

25:32Now, looking ahead, this week,

25:34we can reveal that you're dancing a quick step to this.

25:38It's a marvellous party.

25:39We're not done away from now.

25:40That's A Marvellous Party by Beverly Knight.

25:43We love this song.

25:45Kaz Carney becomes Kaz Classy.

25:47Ooh, love that.

25:48Wow, look at that.

25:49How much are you enjoying embracing the classiness of the quick step?

25:52I'm going to try.

25:53I've got a classy man next to me,

25:55so I'm going to try and embrace...

25:56I mean, he's fantastic.

25:58So I'm going to try and get to his levels,

26:00and like everything, like I said to you earlier,

26:02we'll just go for it.

26:02We're going to have fun.

26:03I'm enjoying this, and that will never change for us.

26:06Yes, and our lioness is known for her quick pace and a quick feat.

26:09So how much are you going to use this to your advantage in the quick step?

26:13But actually, to answer the question before you ask her,

26:15how do we become a classy for her,

26:18the goal actually is to slow down everything.

26:21Even if it's a fast-paced dance,

26:23but we're going to really cushion it into it,

26:25bring those quality, those details from the fingers,

26:28from the shoulder, from the head,

26:30from the performance, from the spinning,

26:32even from some props.

26:33Who knows?

26:34You know, that's the goal.

26:35So bring the classy, bring the slow into the fast dance.

26:38Show those quality.

26:39Mm, so it's all about the attitude and the character.

26:41Absolutely.

26:42I love that.

26:43How are you feeling about returning to ballroom, Kaz?

26:45Um, thrilled.

26:47I don't believe that, sorry.

26:49Yeah, I don't know.

26:50No, but we've got some different strategies for hold,

26:54which is good.

26:55Yeah, we did.

26:56He's been fantastic with that and teaching me with that,

26:58and I think I'm really working on that.

27:01So I'm excited about that.

27:03That's a good challenge for me,

27:04so I'm looking forward to that.

27:05And the song is great and obviously it is some quick feet

27:08and Carlos is right.

27:09We'll add a little bit of finesse, hopefully.

27:11So hopefully it will come together

27:12and I know that me and you will both love performing it,

27:16so nothing will change for us.

27:18Well, you're learning so much each week

27:19and now that we're in the fourth week,

27:20would you say that you're finding it easier

27:22to pick up the choreography now?

27:23No.

27:24No.

27:24He's so patient.

27:26He's so patient.

27:27No, it gets harder because it's still a new dance.

27:30You've still never done it before

27:31and you're like, you get so happy come Saturday.

27:33I'm like, yes, I've done this dance

27:35and then like Monday, you're like,

27:36you're thrilled to be in.

27:37You're honestly thrilled,

27:38but then you're like, I've got to go again

27:40and learn another new, like, you know, it's like.

27:42Yeah, it's intense.

27:43And he's really patient

27:44and he's learning a lot about me.

27:46So he's doing really well

27:48and I'm not an easy student, I would say,

27:50but he's doing really well.

27:51No, you are.

27:52No.

27:52I'm listening to her.

27:54Well, I cannot wait to see it.

27:55All the best for training.

27:57It's Karen and Carlos.

28:02Well, that's it for tonight.

28:03Jeanette will be here tomorrow

28:04with Amber and Nikita, Vicky and Kai

28:06and the couple with the first 10 of the series,

28:09Louis and Katia.

28:10And we get a first look at how some of our couples

28:12are getting on in the training room.

28:14Have a lovely evening.

28:25This will probably sound crazy,

28:29but do you want to be in a rock band?

28:32What?
