00:00Please welcome your host, Fleur East.
00:24Hello, and welcome to Friday's It Takes Two live on BBC Two and iPlayer.
00:35The weekend is night, and what's that?
00:39Ah, the smell of fresh spray tan is in the air, which can only mean one thing.
00:44Our Strictly stars are hot and ready to go with tomorrow night's show.
00:48And how long do you have to wait, did you say?
00:49Well, in just 23 hours and 59 minutes, we return to the ballroom,
00:57and we've got you covered in all the backstage gossip until then.
01:00So let's take a look at what we have coming up for you this evening.
01:05Chris and Nadia's electrifying passo lit up the dance floor and proved to be so thawesome,
01:10they flew straight into week four.
01:12But with the salsa on their agenda, how is Chris feeling about swapping the hammer for the hips?
01:16After missing out last week due to illness, our Aussie Kanga has a spring back in his step.
01:22We'll be chatting to Stefan and Diane to hear whether this Charleston could be seeing some Charles Chans.
01:28And don't forget, we love hearing from you.
01:31So if you're wondering what Chris's party trick is or what Stefan loves most about the Strictly experience,
01:36then send us your questions via WhatsApp on 0800 022 3801,
01:41or just scan the QR code on your screen.
01:43But first, I know three people who just can't get enough of our couples,
01:48so here to talk all things Strictly, it's my Friday panel!
01:54Woo!
01:56Here they are, looking good!
01:59Got the moves as well.
02:01I love it.
02:03She's a TV personality who knows a thing or two about spray tans.
02:07Here to discuss whether the only way is up for our couples, it's Jess Wright!
02:10Woo!
02:11Woo!
02:13He's a presenter and podcast host who believes that for our Strictly couples,
02:17where there's a will, there's a way.
02:19It's Will and Jovi!
02:20Woo!
02:22And finally, she's a chef and presenter, ready to swap Bake Off Chat for Dance Off Chat.
02:27She's sweet as pie.
02:28It's Bridie Mae Williams!
02:30Yes!
02:30Right, 13 couples remain and the pressure is on because if they get through,
02:36they're through to Icons Week.
02:38Yes, so they've all been rehearsing in the ballroom today, so let's get to it.
02:42Let's start with Lavoie and Ali Ash.
02:44They're doing a cha-cha-cha.
02:45Now, Will, Lavoie showed a different side of herself last week,
02:49but says it was business as usual for the cha-cha-cha.
02:52What are you expecting from her tomorrow?
02:54Lavoie is just a massive performer.
02:56So last week, I feel, was actually the biggest challenge for Lavoie.
02:59Okay, because Lavoie loves to come out, show out, you know, big character.
03:03And last week, Lavoie had to draw it all back and be vulnerable.
03:06So actually, this is going to be a piece of cake.
03:09Lavoie is a massive performer and I feel like she's just going to eat it up.
03:11Yes, in her element.
03:12Exactly.
03:13And Bryony, she's starting to put all of her trust in Ali Ash now.
03:16What are you making of this partnership?
03:18I love this partnership.
03:20I think Ali Ash really helps Lavoie bring out her comedic side,
03:24but also helps her with, like you were saying, her vulnerability,
03:26a place where she can feel safe.
03:28And I just, I love them.
03:29I think they work brilliantly.
03:30They're lovely to watch, aren't they?
03:31Let's move on to Vicky and Kai.
03:33They're doing a samba.
03:34Jess, you know Vicky.
03:35Yes.
03:35How do you think she's going to be with her nerves when it comes to this samba?
03:39Do you know what?
03:40I think she has been an absolute trooper throughout this competition.
03:44She is someone that was so out of her comfort zone, so nervous.
03:48But actually, when she got out there, she impressed everyone.
03:51And I just, I'm so proud of her.
03:52I think when it comes to this week, because of last week where, you know,
03:56she didn't do as well as she thought she may or, you know,
03:58the score wasn't as high, I think she's going to come back fighting
04:01and I think she's going to absolutely smash it.
04:03And Will, they're dancing to the song La Isla Bonita.
04:07Yeah.
04:07What do you think she needs to do to make sure that this is as bonita as her Charleston?
04:12Listen, Fleur, I've got some complaints, okay?
04:14Oh, oh!
04:14I feel like Vicky was undermarked last week.
04:17I'm not trying to be funny, but when I saw her hit the dance floor,
04:20I was like, oof, I was taking away the energy.
04:22So I guess you're going to ask me, you know, you've asked me what is it she should do.
04:26I think that she just needs to continue doing what she's doing.
04:28I think she's brilliant.
04:29I think she brings great energy to the dance floor.
04:31I think she's got it.
04:31What do you reckon?
04:32I think she's amazing and I think she underestimates herself.
04:35But I think also she needs to be more confident with it and just go for it.
04:38I think, like, her steps are there.
04:40She never misses a trick.
04:42Choreography's on point.
04:43She just needs to...
04:44It's the inner confidence.
04:44I think so.
04:45And then if the judges are undermarking her,
04:47then of course she's going to feel a bit like, oh, taken aback.
04:49I genuinely feel like she did such a great job last week.
04:51I'm sad.
04:53I'm sad.
04:53I get it.
04:53I get it.
04:54Okay.
04:54My people, the judges.
04:56Next up, let's talk about Ellie and Vito.
04:58They're doing a couple's choice.
05:00Bryony, this dance is a celebration of Ellie.
05:03How excited are you to see a dance that's all about her?
05:05She deserves to be celebrated.
05:07She is incredible.
05:07Her energy, her light, her joy that she brings every week.
05:11And I just think Vito is the perfect person
05:13because he will be able to stand back and let her shine
05:16because he's that kind of partner.
05:18And I just think it's going to be beautiful.
05:19Yes.
05:19Speaking of shine, Jess, they're dancing to a track called Golden.
05:22What do you think she needs to do to make this a sparkly performance?
05:25Oh, God.
05:26How can Ellie do anything more?
05:27She is just a ray of sunshine.
05:30Like, she just is so amazing.
05:33And from head to toe, when she's out there,
05:35I just can't take my eyes off her.
05:36And can I just say as well,
05:38I feel like the partnership between her and Vito is so sweet and amazing.
05:41Like, the chemistry.
05:42It's like, I don't know if it's big brother, little sister.
05:45It's just so lovely to watch.
05:46It's very sweet.
05:47OK, next up, we're going to talk about Amber and Nikita.
05:50They're doing the first Argentan tango of the series.
05:52Will, with three nines under their belt,
05:56how do you think they can step up their game and bag a 10?
05:58Listen, did you see them last week?
06:00They should have got 10s last week.
06:01They should get 10s every single week.
06:03I'm actually scared at how good this is going to be.
06:05Yeah.
06:05OK, I'm not nervous.
06:07I'm scared.
06:07Just look at Amber is such a great performer.
06:10That partnership is obviously great.
06:12And she just gives it everything on the dance floor.
06:14You can tell that she really just, like,
06:15adjusts to, like, new moves when it's given to her.
06:18So I'm here for it.
06:19Yeah.
06:19Look, you know, I love everybody, but I love them a lot.
06:22OK.
06:23I love it.
06:23Briony, what are you loving about this partnership?
06:25Nikita's really playing to her strengths, isn't he, with the choreo?
06:28They're great.
06:28They look like they've been dancing together forever.
06:31The fact that she was just thrown into this.
06:32I know, we forget.
06:33With no notice.
06:34Yes.
06:34I know.
06:35It's just mind-boggling.
06:37And I just think they're brilliant.
06:38They just work well together.
06:40OK, let's move on to Harry and Karen.
06:42They're doing a rumba.
06:43Whoa.
06:44Now, Jess, we've only seen Harry performing joyful and energetic dances.
06:48How do you think he's going to cope with this slower pace?
06:50Do you know what?
06:50I feel like with the rumba, it's quite exposing.
06:53Yes.
06:53And I just, I hope, personally, I feel like he can do no wrong.
06:58That's the thing.
06:58But I hope he brings it with this, because he's had a good going so far.
07:02He's been amazing every week.
07:04There's been no downfall.
07:06It's going to be, like, kind of touch and go.
07:08But I just think he's going to be able to do it.
07:09He's amazing.
07:10Yeah.
07:10The rumba is known for being tricky, though, Will.
07:12Where do you think he's going to struggle?
07:14I actually think this is going to be his strength.
07:16And let me tell you why.
07:17OK.
07:17The T is this man has got muscles for days, right?
07:20So when he's doing all the energetic ones, how do you move?
07:23How do you move?
07:24So actually, the slowness is going to allow him to kind of perform, you know, for his body type.
07:29You know, so it's good.
07:30OK, nice.
07:31On to Jimmy and Lauren.
07:32They're doing a couple's choice.
07:34And Jimmy's going back to his roots with a Caribbean-inspired dance this week.
07:38Bryony, he's surprising the judges week on week.
07:41What's your take on him?
07:42I love Jimmy.
07:44I feel like he's going to have one of these incredible Strictly arcs where he just goes from strength to strength.
07:50He's going to be someone who's in the final.
07:52Speak on him.
07:53Oh, OK.
07:53Speak on him.
07:54I'm going to say it now.
07:55Speak on him.
07:55I'm going to say it now.
07:56And the way that he shows his vulnerability is so endearing and refreshing to see.
08:02I just, yeah, I'm going to say it now.
08:05That's a great prediction.
08:05You've made a statement.
08:07Jess, there's no rules for the couple's choice.
08:09What are you hoping they're going to pull out of the bag for this one?
08:11I just think personality and, like, he's going to, yeah, I feel like he's, his dancers so far have been quite kind of, he's just done it right.
08:20And I think this is going to, he's going to just blow us away.
08:22He's going to, like, really show it, bring his personality to the dance floor and maybe some hips and, yeah.
08:28Ooh, yeah.
08:29Well, moving on to Alex and Johannes.
08:32They're doing a rumba.
08:34Ooh, OK.
08:34Now, last week, she was serving Miranda Priestly vibes with the Quick Step.
08:38Who do you think she's going to channel for this one?
08:40Well, elegance, you know, class, glam.
08:45And that is what I got last week.
08:46And I feel like we're just going to continue to get even more.
08:48Look at this partnership.
08:49Look at how connected they are together.
08:52So it's just more elegance and more glam, I think.
08:54The last two weeks, they've been at the top end of the leaderboard, Bryony.
08:57What do you think makes this partnership so fantastic?
08:59I mean, you can just see it there, the way that they look at each other.
09:02They look at each other.
09:03They are just there and they're in the moment.
09:04And I think she is an actress and Jojo lets her bring out that side of her so she can really kind of play into that.
09:12And, ooh, yeah.
09:13I'm ready for it.
09:13Ooh, yeah.
09:14Ooh, yeah.
09:15Well, we'll talk about our remaining couples later on.
09:17But for now, it's my Friday panel.
09:19Next, our first couple of the night.
09:24Despite Chris and Nadia smashing Paso, they came second to last on the leaderboard.
09:29And Craig thought it was more four than four.
09:31Yet, as a team, we never fail to support one of our own.
09:34And like all good superheroes uniting in battle, we will assemble, stand strong and avenge.
09:44There's impact in your movement.
09:46I would love you to listen a little bit more to the music, but this is a great improvement in the right direction.
09:52Well done.
09:53You did a beautiful coupe de pique this evening.
09:56I'm very, very pleased with you.
09:58Stay on that track.
10:00You had a moment there where you actually curved backwards.
10:03This is a great improvement.
10:05Keep this up.
10:08It's Chris and Nadia, everybody.
10:11Now, before we get into Saturday, we need to talk about the results,
10:14because your reactions were priceless.
10:18I squeal for the first time in my life.
10:21You look like you weren't expecting that at all.
10:23Why were you so surprised?
10:24We were just so happy to go through.
10:26We were in, of course, the dance of the week before.
10:28And then to be...
10:29I think whenever you're in the bottom two or near the bottom of the leaderboard,
10:32you're always going to be in contention.
10:34Yes.
10:34And then to get the public back in, to get us through, was absolutely incredible.
10:37So, everyone who voted for us, thank you so much.
10:39And it was...
10:41You saw the feeling, how much it meant to us to have the tough side and then to go through.
10:45It was just a phenomenal feeling, wasn't it?
10:47We were so happy.
10:48It was incredible.
10:49I squealed for the first time in my life, probably.
10:51Just to see Chris's face.
10:54Obviously, we're the pros.
10:56We're in the rooms.
10:57Everyone works really hard.
10:58But I can see how hard Chris worked on that pass doble.
11:02And I mean, with that...
11:03Mata Thor.
11:06Mata Thor.
11:07Mata Thor.
11:08Yeah, you just...
11:09You came there with that, I don't know, with the hammer.
11:12And you just hit the nail on the head.
11:15You hit the nail on the head.
11:16And then the reaction, the people could feel, I think, how much he worked.
11:20And he put everything into it.
11:23Just how happy you were when we got through.
11:26And that smile stayed for the whole week, let me tell you.
11:30They can see it, right?
11:31And I think it was so like their feeling when we got our scores compared to the first week
11:35to get a four and then sixes.
11:37We were over the moon.
11:38I was so happy to have sixes.
11:40Yes.
11:40And you felt the other contestants, the other pros were so happy for us
11:44to see how far we had improved since that first one to be, yeah, very much...
11:49I know, obviously, Nadia's an amazing dancer.
11:51But for me to be very much out of my comfort zone on the dance floor
11:54and starting to relax into it and starting to enjoy it.
11:58And I think what's really good is, yes, we had some tough feedback early on,
12:01but we've taken it all on board.
12:03We've taken it all on board and we're trying to improve.
12:05We're trying to get better.
12:06And, yeah, we really enjoyed that.
12:08Yeah, we can see that.
12:09And in the Claudatorium, along with Lewis and Harry,
12:11you were the first to show your admiration for Johannes as a pro.
12:15So we thought we would like to dub you the official president
12:18of the Be More JoJo fan club.
12:22Please, wear your sash with pride.
12:25Oh, this is beautiful.
12:27You look how lovely it is.
12:29I saw him today and he's just standing upright.
12:31He's immaculate.
12:32I mean, it is something.
12:33He's got, like, capes.
12:35He just looks cool.
12:36He does look cool.
12:37You look cool, too.
12:37You're cool now, though.
12:39We're wearing that tomorrow.
12:41This is it.
12:41This is part of your costume.
12:43Absolutely.
12:44We all know as well that Nadia was helping you get into character in training.
12:48Let's take a look.
12:49No smiling.
12:50You're saving the world.
12:53Saving the world and children.
12:54Yes.
12:55Everything.
12:56Yes.
12:57So serious.
12:59Purpose.
13:02That's more like thinking things, you know?
13:09I think that might be Zara.
13:12Do you think we've got a future Hollywood star on the horizon?
13:15100%.
13:16I mean, whenever his next door is coming out, I think we've got the leading man there.
13:21Maybe not leading.
13:22I'll be an extra in the background.
13:23I'll be happy to get out.
13:24Come on.
13:24You've got this, partner.
13:26You've got this.
13:27You've got this, partner.
13:28Okay.
13:29But you're here.
13:30Congratulations.
13:31You hit the nail on the head.
13:32And tomorrow, you'll be dancing a salsa to this.
13:37Oh, Ricky Martin, Maria.
13:40Wait.
13:40Now, we had your alter ego, Fred, join us for the Paso.
13:44So, who are we going to see shaking the hips tomorrow night?
13:47We were actually discussing it.
13:48We were discussing it.
13:49We're going to be El Christophe.
13:51Christophe?
13:51El Christophe, yes.
13:52El Christophe.
13:53Oh, wow.
13:53That is who we're going to be.
13:54It's going to come out of us.
13:56And it's all been about hips.
13:57Paso was very, maybe it shouldn't have been stiff, but very stiff.
14:00Very upright.
14:01But this is the complete opposite.
14:03So, it's a great opportunity for us to show our diversity with our dancing.
14:08Yes.
14:08We hope anyway.
14:09Oh, I hope anyway.
14:10Show the variety.
14:11You've got Jenny Thomas as well, helping you with the choreography.
14:13Yes.
14:14What's it been like having an extra mentor in the room?
14:17She's amazing, isn't she?
14:18She's, her ability and her bravery just to get thrown around and try stuff.
14:23We try things.
14:24Some work, some don't work.
14:26Both Nadia, Patrick and Jenny were all there giving us some advice.
14:29They were like, okay, try this.
14:30And I did it.
14:31And they all just looked at me and went, no.
14:34So, we have kind of trial and error thing.
14:36And we've got something that works with, obviously, Nadia, myself, my body, my movement.
14:41And we've got some quite amazing things in there as well.
14:43So, I can't wait.
14:44Well, there are some ambitious lifts when it comes to the salsa.
14:47Exactly.
14:48How are you adapting it?
14:49Because you're a lot taller than some of the other pros.
14:51Well, with Chris, I don't need to adapt anything because he's tall, he's strong.
14:57And I never felt as safe as I feel with Chris.
15:01So, when we tried the first lift, I was like, okay, I'll try it.
15:05And he just gives that calmness feeling about, he thinks about it very carefully.
15:10You can see it on his face.
15:11You often see the thinking face.
15:14But before the lift, he was like, okay, I lift you here.
15:17I pull here.
15:18And there are some fun tricks as well, some lifts.
15:21And it's been amazing.
15:23This week was very different for Chris as well because he likes the structure.
15:26So, usually we would learn the structure and choreography and then break it down to the technique.
15:32Now we had to learn lift as well.
15:34And this is different.
15:35I mean, Flo, you've done it.
15:37Yes.
15:37It's breathing together.
15:38It's the connection.
15:40And he's just been amazing.
15:41It was a fun week, a full-on week.
15:43Yes, it was.
15:44You've never been this tired.
15:45No, I haven't.
15:45It was tough.
15:46You can't look very fresh.
15:47You do look great.
15:47You've got energy.
15:48Ella has sent in a message for you.
15:50Thanks, Ella.
15:50She says, Chris, if you could describe your Strictly experience so far in one word, what
15:54would it be?
15:57I was just going to say amazing.
15:59It really has been.
16:01The ability to, yes, push yourself outside of your comfort zone, but the whole team around
16:06everything and the unity amongst the contestants, the pros, everyone, yes, of course, everyone
16:12wants to do well, but everyone is so happy for each other when someone nails a dance or
16:16if someone doesn't quite go as well, everyone consoles them.
16:19There's a lot of love.
16:20And there really is.
16:21And it's just been a brilliant experience so far.
16:22Well, good luck tomorrow.
16:24It's Chris and Nadia, everybody.
16:28Right.
16:29It's been a busy old week and our couples have been working hard towards tomorrow night.
16:33Let's see how Ellie and Vito and our next couple that we'll be chatting to, Stefan and Diane,
16:38have found training this week.
16:41This week, we are dancing our couple choice.
16:44Yay.
16:44I mean, we're excited to be doing this dance.
16:49Good.
16:50We have one step, yeah?
16:51We have the Montel step.
16:53Done.
16:54Nice.
16:55We have, like, kick, yeah?
16:56And the sprint.
16:57Amazing.
16:58You cannot wait for doing this.
17:00Can't wait.
17:01But.
17:02Yay.
17:02Every single step in the Charleston leads into another step.
17:08I do have a little bit of a stumbling block when it comes to transitioning.
17:12This is probably my sticking point, this one.
17:14If his weight is not in the right position, he's not going to be able to transition quick
17:18enough.
17:18Down center.
17:19I've got to learn that technique and perfect it as much as I possibly can.
17:24Proud of you.
17:28And I'm joined with them now, it's Stefan and Diane.
17:33Stefan, welcome back.
17:35Thank you very much.
17:35It's nice to have you here.
17:36We heard from you at the start of the week, but firstly, what happened last week and how
17:39are you now?
17:41Oh, I had a little bit of a turn.
17:42A little bit of an episode with vertigo, but it was all okay.
17:46You know, I made myself right again with the help of some good people at the hospital.
17:52But it's all okay.
17:54I mean, I've got to say to everybody out there, thank you for all your lovely well wishes and
17:58just, you know, wanting me to be on the recovery and get back on the dance floor, which I now
18:03am.
18:03Which you are.
18:04Yes, you are.
18:05Which we're so happy to hear.
18:06And Diane, you were still there cheering everyone on on Saturday.
18:09I was.
18:10But I bet you're so happy now to be back in the training room with Stefan.
18:12It was so odd.
18:14It was, like, obviously amazing to watch everyone and not have the nerves on a Saturday
18:18night.
18:18It was very odd for me.
18:20But I did.
18:21I missed Stefan and I couldn't wait for him to be back with me.
18:25And, Stefan, did you manage to catch Movie Week?
18:27What did you make of everyone's performance?
18:29I did.
18:29It was a really odd experience because in one sense I was watching all my mates, my new
18:34mates, on the telly.
18:35But at the same time, I was just absolutely gobsmacked at the level of talent that was
18:40on the dance floor and on the screen in front of me.
18:42Because when you watch it at home, it's completely different to watching it in the studio.
18:47Because in the studio, you're kind of looking down at the dance floor and seeing the whole
18:50thing in place there.
18:52And you're not seeing all the special effects and the pizzazz and the sparkle.
18:55Whereas at home, you get all of that and you get this brilliant show portrayed to you
18:59on your telly.
19:00And I thought it was brilliant.
19:02Well, you're going to be part of the brilliant show.
19:04Exactly.
19:04You're going to be part of the brilliant show this weekend.
19:06And the key thing is that you're back and you're in good spirits.
19:09And this week, you're dancing a Charleston to a mash-up, including this.
19:12Dears for me, tears for me, tears for me, heart.
19:15Dance, Mikey, tones a nine.
19:17That's going to make up.
19:17That's a lot slower than what we're doing, isn't it?
19:19Oh, is it really?
19:20Yeah, yeah.
19:20I mean, the Charleston is full on.
19:22What do you make of that being your comeback dance, in a way?
19:26Well, it's kind of like, here you go, Steph, are you okay?
19:29Boom!
19:30Into the deep end you go.
19:32Yeah, I thought I was a bit scared of the cha-cha.
19:35Actually, the thing about it is, I thought when I first saw it, I thought,
19:38ah, that's pretty easy, isn't it?
19:40Because Diane showed me an example and I went, yeah, no worries at all.
19:42And then got into the training room and went, oops, no.
19:46It's a wee bit faster and a hell of a lot more technical than I thought.
19:50Yes.
19:50Um, so, it's just, this routine is absolutely packed, isn't it?
19:55It is.
19:55Jam-packed, yeah.
19:57Well, I want to know, actually, because you've got Jenny Thomas
19:59helping you out with the choreography.
20:00What kind of style of a Charleston is it?
20:02So, we've gone more for a Lindy Hop Charleston.
20:05Okay.
20:06Um, and Jenny, she's incredible.
20:08Like, we worked together to create a really fun routine
20:11that, again, would suit Stefan.
20:13You know, that's what we've got to do here.
20:15We've got to suit the dance to, you know,
20:18the person we're choreographing it on.
20:20Less dancing, more acting.
20:22Not at all.
20:22We're dancing a lot.
20:24Um, and, yeah, so we opted to go for more of a Lindy Hop
20:28and we have a nice, like, character thread throughout the whole dance.
20:32So, yeah, it's a lot of fun.
20:34Yeah, I wanted to ask you about the characters
20:35because you missed out on embodying the characters in Movie Week.
20:38Yeah.
20:39So, are you making up for it this week?
20:40Who are you playing?
20:41We're kind of our, aren't we?
20:41Yeah.
20:42So, we're like a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde.
20:45Ooh.
20:45Um, and we've just robbed a bank.
20:47Shall we say a bank?
20:48Wow.
20:49Is it a bank?
20:49Yeah, let's call it a bank.
20:50Let's call it a bank.
20:50Will's Figo or something like that.
20:52Yeah, we're having a lovely dinner
20:53and then the cops come, don't they?
20:56The cop has come.
20:56The cop has come.
20:57Just very relaxing.
20:58We're feeling very chuffed, aren't we?
21:00Yeah, very chuffed until we're not...
21:02And then all of a sudden it's like...
21:02And then it's chaos because they're chasing us
21:05and we're trying to get away in every scenario.
21:09There's a whole film.
21:10Yeah, it's a whole routine.
21:10Yeah, it's a film, yeah.
21:13I was going to say, pretty much the whole routine
21:14is being chased by the cops and trying to get away.
21:16Yeah, we get caught at the end, though, sorry.
21:18Oh, spoiler!
21:19I need to give it away.
21:19Spoiler!
21:20You're going all the way.
21:21Sorry.
21:21Well, synchronisation is key for the Charleston, Diane.
21:25Are you relying on your Aussie connection
21:26to make sure you're in sync?
21:28It is key.
21:30Yeah, I think we do have a very strong Aussie connection.
21:33I keep telling him, I am there, use me, you know,
21:36like, use your peripheral vision
21:38to see where my arms are and things like that,
21:41which you're doing much more of this week,
21:45which is great.
21:45Hearing the music, too.
21:46Hearing the music more.
21:49Yeah.
21:49There's lots of things that you've stepped up this week,
21:52for sure.
21:54So, yeah.
21:54Oh, I'm looking forward to it.
21:56Now, before we go, Stefan,
21:57we had a particular Friday panel guest
21:59who happened to be an old flame of yours from Neighbours,
22:02and they wanted to send you a good luck message.
22:05It's Sheree Murphy.
22:07Hi, Stefan.
22:08I was so gutted that you missed out on the dance last week,
22:11but I cannot wait to see you back on the dance floor.
22:14You were doing so well, and you've got my vote.
22:17Aw, Blair.
22:18That's nice.
22:19She's great.
22:20It's lovely, isn't it?
22:21She played an arch rival.
22:25It's all coming back.
22:26Well, it's great to have you back.
22:27All the best for the weekend.
22:29Stefan and Diane, everyone.
22:34Right, we've still got six more couples to talk about
22:36before tomorrow night,
22:38and who better to do it with
22:39than my strictly obsessed dream team?
22:41Let's welcome back my Friday panel.
22:45OK, let's get into it.
22:46Lewis and Katia, they're doing a foxtrot.
22:49Jess, with the first ten secured,
22:51how will they keep their Nat King cool
22:53and not let the pressure get to them?
22:56Honestly, again,
22:57I think he can do no wrong.
22:58He is incredible,
23:00and he's just got this air about him.
23:03If he's not in the final,
23:04then I'll eat my hat.
23:05Not bad.
23:07Some strong claims on this panel today.
23:10The judges loved his Paso, Will.
23:12What do you think he can do
23:13to get the set of perfect tense?
23:15Do you know what?
23:16They could be the winners,
23:17but I do want to say
23:17the foxtrot is really hard.
23:19It is hard.
23:20So this week might be slightly different
23:21to the last, OK?
23:23But I do want them to excel.
23:24And look, you can tell
23:25that they both just throw themselves in
23:27and do well.
23:28They're both brilliant performers.
23:29That is a brilliant partnership.
23:31And I think they just need to continue
23:32doing what they're doing.
23:33But I do feel like
23:33this week will be harder.
23:35OK.
23:36Next up, Karen and Carlos.
23:37They're doing a quick step.
23:39Bryony, you were on the Friday panel
23:40last year with Kaz.
23:41And can you believe Craig gave her
23:42a four last week?
23:43What do you think of this dance?
23:45Unacceptable, that four.
23:46Unacceptable.
23:47They did so well.
23:49And can I just say,
23:50Kaz will come out swinging this week.
23:52She's an athlete.
23:53She is a perfectionist.
23:55She is going to come out
23:56and be like,
23:56no, I will prove you wrong.
23:57You watch me.
23:58And I think she's going to be,
23:59yeah, exactly that.
24:00And she's back to ballroom this week
24:02since her week two tango.
24:04Jess, she only scored 20 for that.
24:06What can she do to improve this time,
24:08do you think?
24:09Again, with Kaz,
24:11I feel like she,
24:12with her stamina,
24:13every single dance,
24:15she has that in her belt.
24:18She is just so quick.
24:20So I think for me,
24:22again, bringing the confidence
24:23and maybe,
24:25I don't know,
24:26I love her.
24:27Ever since that first week,
24:29ever since that jive,
24:30I just am obsessed with her.
24:31I was like,
24:32oh my God,
24:33this is the first week
24:34and she's doing this
24:36and she's like a footballer.
24:38I'm like, what?
24:39Will, what do you think?
24:40Listen,
24:41undermarked again,
24:43in my opinion.
24:44So many people
24:45have been undermarked
24:46and in my opinion,
24:46I think they can do no wrong.
24:48So, look,
24:49we're going to have to see.
24:50We're going to have to see.
24:51Okay, moving on
24:52to George and Alexis.
24:53Yes.
24:54They're doing a tango.
24:55Will,
24:55George's soda popping
24:56couple's choice
24:57got mixed feedback
24:58from the judges.
25:00Do you think the tango
25:01will play to his strengths
25:02this week?
25:02This is the last time
25:03I'm going to say it.
25:05Undermarked again.
25:06But this is only because,
25:08right,
25:08they did such a great job
25:09and I feel like
25:10when George is on the dance floor,
25:11he has a lot of fun, right?
25:12Yeah.
25:13You can tell he's the life
25:13of the party
25:14but I do feel like
25:15maybe this week
25:16he needs to maybe focus
25:17a bit more on the steps
25:17and kind of,
25:18it's just about having
25:18that balance, you know,
25:20but hopefully no more
25:21undermarking
25:22for the rest of the series.
25:23And Bryony,
25:24a fellow Bristolian,
25:25is there a lot of love
25:26for George
25:26in your household?
25:27George, my lover,
25:28there is so much
25:30love for George
25:31in our house.
25:32My 10-year-old daughter
25:33had a K-pop Demon Hunters
25:35party,
25:35so when he came out
25:37dancing to that song,
25:38she was just,
25:39we were screaming
25:40for George in our house.
25:41We love him.
25:42Oh, Jess,
25:43are you a fan?
25:44Oh, absolutely.
25:45I mean, again,
25:45he's really, really strong
25:46and I think
25:48their partnership
25:48is lovely.
25:49I love her.
25:50I just think the whole,
25:51yeah, I think,
25:52but then saying that,
25:53this is a very different
25:54dance for him this week.
25:55True.
25:56So I just,
25:57who knows?
25:57Who knows?
25:58He's a good dancer, though.
25:59Yeah, for sure.
26:00I think they all are.
26:01It's like the strongest year.
26:02There are so many
26:03strong contenders.
26:04I mean,
26:04it's crazy out there.
26:06On to Belvinda and Julian,
26:07they're doing a Paso Doble
26:08and Jess,
26:09they were in the dance-off
26:10last week.
26:10Yes.
26:11How can Bao stay confident
26:12and bounce back with this?
26:14Do you know what?
26:15She is an actress
26:16and I feel like
26:17with the Paso Doble,
26:18she can really bring it.
26:20Like, in her upper body,
26:22just her strong,
26:23you know,
26:23looks with the acting
26:24and everything,
26:25I think she's got this.
26:26I think,
26:26as well,
26:27last week,
26:27she's been kicked down.
26:29She's a fighter,
26:30I feel like.
26:31So, yeah,
26:31I think she could,
26:33again,
26:33bring it this week.
26:34And with this Paso,
26:35she's showing a new energy.
26:37How much of the Sookie energy
26:38do you think
26:38she can bring out
26:39in this dance?
26:39Listen,
26:40I feel like
26:40after that feedback
26:41from Shirley last week,
26:43she's like,
26:43Shirley,
26:44say no more.
26:44Cool,
26:44I'm coming back stronger.
26:45You know,
26:46I feel like she's going
26:47to bring in that Sookie,
26:47that fierce energy
26:48into this week's dance.
26:50And guys,
26:50I'm actually scared
26:50because I feel like
26:51it's going to be so good.
26:51I'm shocked.
26:53I'm scared.
26:54We are shook.
26:55On to Chris and Nadia,
26:56they're doing a Salsa.
26:58Bryony,
26:58with a fresh boost of confidence,
27:00what are you hoping to see
27:01in this Salsa?
27:02Well,
27:03we saw the guns last week.
27:05I think it's time
27:05to see some hips.
27:06OK,
27:06we're going to see some hips,
27:07we're going to see some swinging.
27:08I think they're going to be great.
27:10You know,
27:10Nadia's got such a good energy
27:11as well,
27:12and I think they just want
27:13to keep going,
27:14doing well.
27:15And Will,
27:15they were still at the bottom end
27:16of the leaderboard last week,
27:18so what do they need to do
27:19to step up their game?
27:20You know,
27:20let's focus on the positives.
27:21I feel like Chris
27:22has actually come leaps
27:24and bounds,
27:25OK?
27:26You know these sports people,
27:27they're always being told
27:28focus on the game,
27:29focus on the game.
27:30So that first performance,
27:31he was very, very serious,
27:32but actually,
27:32you saw how he came alive there.
27:34So all he needs to do,
27:35all they need to do
27:36is just continue.
27:37Yes,
27:37what are your thoughts,
27:38Jess?
27:39I think,
27:40again,
27:40he's kind of been
27:41quite low on the leaderboard
27:43for the past few weeks.
27:44So,
27:44again,
27:45I'm going to be honest,
27:46I think it's going to go
27:46one way or the other.
27:47I think he's going to,
27:49he's going to,
27:49but his hips,
27:51again,
27:51yeah,
27:52we're yet to see them.
27:53We're yet to see them.
27:54This is the week
27:54where he's either going to go up
27:56or...
27:57OK,
27:58let's talk next about
27:59Stefan and Diane.
28:00We just spoke to them,
28:01they're doing a Charleston.
28:02Jess,
28:02your brother,
28:03Mark Wright,
28:04hit his highest score
28:05with this dance.
28:06I know.
28:06How do you think
28:07Stefan's looking?
28:08Let's take a look.
28:11Oh.
28:12OK.
28:12His personality's there,
28:14for sure.
28:14Look at Diane's face.
28:15His personality is there.
28:16Yes.
28:16They look in sync.
28:17They do.
28:19That's very good.
28:20I think,
28:20obviously,
28:20he's had time off.
28:22I think he's going to come back
28:23and be fighting,
28:23for sure.
28:25Love Diane.
28:25I think she's always got the energy.
28:27She's amazing.
28:28And I think,
28:29if Mark can make it
28:30his highest score,
28:31who was never a dancer,
28:32you know,
28:33he fully claimed that
28:34when he entered the show.
28:35He's never been a dancer.
28:36Bless him.
28:36He still isn't really.
28:37But he got to the finals.
28:39So, listen,
28:40Stefan could do this.
28:41And, Bryony,
28:41what are you making
28:42of this Aussie duo
28:43being back on the dance floor?
28:44Iconic.
28:45Iconic.
28:45I love Diane anyway.
28:46And then Stefan.
28:47I mean,
28:47I was such a big Neighbours fan
28:49when I was a kid.
28:50I would just go into a daze
28:51when it was on TV.
28:52I'd be mesmerised by it.
28:53I met him backstage
28:54and I was starstruck.
28:55I was like,
28:56oh my gosh,
28:56it's Stefan.
28:57Oh my goodness.
28:57So, more of them, please.
28:59Yes.
28:59Yes, more of them.
29:00Okay, it's time for the moment
29:01that has kept me up all night.
29:05Who do you think
29:06will be leaving the competition
29:07this weekend?
29:08Very quickly,
29:08Jess,
29:09I'm coming to you.
29:10Oh gosh,
29:10I don't want to say it
29:11about anyone,
29:12but because I haven't seen him
29:13as much,
29:13I've said Stefan.
