00:00I can't believe I've made it this far we're halfway I can't wait to dance just
00:08in chill mode at the moment this has to be sewn on my head
00:11I get a good feeling it's almost time you're giving me a good
00:19sparkly arms only on strictly
00:27I feel like I'm late it is week seven in the ballroom absolutely brilliant
00:36that's some of the best book work I've ever seen in a viennese this was the
00:43dance of the night during the first bit he was doing absolutely incredible I know
01:03that your mom is watching and she's so proud of you so great show so far
01:09everyone let's keep it going
01:16the standard is insane that is going to be an unbelievably hard dance off it doesn't
01:21matter where you are on the leaderboard I personally believe nobody's safe
01:24results show it's out of our hands let's go
01:30results in three two one
01:39welcome to strictly come dancing the results on Saturday night the dancing was immense we had our
02:07tightest week seven leaderboard ever with only nine celebrities left in the
02:12competition the race to the glitter ball is heating up nobody wants to go home
02:17tonight two more couples will battle it out in the dance-off but who that will be
02:22is down to your votes before we find out who is safe let's see what the judges
02:27thought of an amazing night in the ballroom
02:34it was absolutely fantastic tonight we went from ballroom darling to Bollywood I loved every minute
02:45there were a lot of 10 fellow judges I gave one now tell me needed you open I think I gave three 10
02:5110 10
02:52this standard is it's ordinary
03:03followed by Amber Amber and nikita I totally loved that I mean
03:07And that dance was extremely difficult, those lifts were not easy, and they're extremely dangerous.
03:15That was my favourite performance I've ever done on Strictly Come Dancing.
03:20Look, the tango from Vicky, just immaculate.
03:24I never actually thought I'd ever get tensed.
03:28In the night I did it.
03:30She should be feeling really good after that dance.
03:32I think so, I'm sorry, I'm just so happy.
03:38Middle of the leaderboard is Luis, Karen, Belfinda and George.
03:43Karen and Carlos was the highest scoring Charleston of the series.
03:48I actually felt that Carlos had to keep up with Karen, she was going.
03:52Boom, boom, boom!
03:53It's a battle between football and a dancer and she won.
03:56This woman, I mean, watch out.
04:00Luis's cha-cha-cha, an excellent, excellent dance.
04:03Incredible. This man can cha-cha.
04:05And I love George and Alexis, fantastic footwork.
04:08I thought they did a great blend of open and closed work.
04:11You were fantastic, the way you went right round the full dance floor.
04:14Thank you very much.
04:17I love Belfinda's Couple's Choice.
04:19It was so authentic, it was beautiful.
04:21She's so expressive when she dances.
04:25I am feeling on top of the world.
04:28And the other end of the leaderboard is Alex, Harry and Lavoie.
04:33I felt with Alex and Johannes, technically very, very strong.
04:37But underperformed when it came to passion and love and really enjoying the moment.
04:45Lavoie, I love her personality but she really has to step up her game when it comes to dance content.
04:52What more do they need from me?
04:54I think the answer is technique and dancing.
04:56I think it's something I've just realised is quite a big part of this competition.
05:00I thought Harry, for him, the dance is still quite strong.
05:04But the level just has improved around him.
05:07Everybody just upped their game.
05:08In one hand I'm absolutely elated, I'm buzzing.
05:11But the scores would say otherwise, I'm quite far down the leaderboard.
05:15I have never seen a competition that's so close.
05:18It's getting more difficult to have the deciding vote.
05:21It's going to be a tough decision.
05:23Nobody is safe.
05:28The resort show, it never sits well with me and I never look forward to it if I'm honest.
05:33It's getting harder and harder each week.
05:35Everyone is up in their game.
05:36I don't know what my life would be like now without dancing.
05:39I'd like to hope I've done enough to stay.
05:42I always prepare for the worst.
05:45It is all about the public vote.
05:48Now more than ever the competition feels very tight.
05:52Being the other top of the leaderboard doesn't necessarily mean yassif.
05:56I feel super nervous right now, it's out of my hands.
06:00Obviously where I'm on the leaderboard would indicate that I should be nervous and I am.
06:03It's anybody's game.
06:06Nobody's safe with these results.
06:07At the halfway point of the series, the competition really couldn't be closer.
06:08But who have you decided deserves another week in the ballroom?
06:12Let's find out.
06:13The results are in.
06:14In no particular order.
06:15The first couple safely through to next week.
06:17is...

06:49Amber and Nikita.
07:00Returning to the dance floor are...
07:06Balvinda and Julian.

07:31Vicki and
07:40Also continuing in strictly are
07:53George and Alexis
08:04And the final couple safe for now is
08:10Karen and Carlisle
08:26Congratulations to our five safe couples for the rest of you your place in strictly is still at risk
08:33Let's talk to the judges
08:35Mopsy as we said it is the closest leaderboard we have ever had in week seven which means this could be a really
08:46Challenging decision for the judge with the casting vote that is you this week. How are you feeling?
08:52Well, I mean it's gonna be close this year because all the couples are so good and the standard is high
08:58For me in first place is always the dancing the dancing counts
09:02I have a responsibility here for the couples for us the judges so I take this very seriously and
09:08The dance-off is the only moment. I will take my decisions. That is what counts. Thank you
09:14Claude is with our first safe couples
09:16Claude is with our first safe couples
09:18Claude is with our first safe couples
09:20I have five very happy couples with me. You are all past the halfway point
09:26Congratulations, Valvinda. How special was Saturday night?
09:30Our Saturday night was incredible
09:33It was a lovely moment for me to be able to represent my community and culture
09:38And to just let everybody else in to see what we're about the Punjabi Dolby is our heartbeat
09:45And it was so lovely to do that and also for Jules like this guy's amazing. He's he's like
09:51Enthusiasm and just joy for the whole dance just made it so much more special
09:57How does it feel to you Jules to be saved by the public?
10:01Oh amazing just to everyone out there. Thank you so much for the support. Thank you for voting
10:05I'm just so glad that our journey gets to continue. It was the most special moment
10:10And yeah, I actually can't put it into words. It was just complete elation and joy
10:15And yeah, I just love you and it was so much fun
10:18It was beautiful to watch
10:22Valvinda, you have got, we all have right, just great girlfriends
10:26But yours have gone above and beyond. Can we have a conversation about Kim?
10:30Yeah, Kim came all the way from Leeds to see me
10:32She just came to give me a hug because she said I know that it's been a hard week
10:36And I know that you're feeling a little bit out of sorts
10:39And I'm here for you and she literally just came down for 45 minutes
10:43Shout out to Kim
10:45Thank you
10:47Thank you Kim
10:49Kaz, can we talk about your research for the Charleston for a moment?
10:53Yeah, I was told to do some research, so I thought I'd be really good
10:56So I looked at Linda Huff
10:58So I came in to Carlos and I said Carlos, it's Linda Huff
11:02Who is she? I can't find her anywhere
11:04It's Lindy Huff
11:06It's Lindy Huff
11:07That was the best going off my day
11:09Yeah, it's magnificent
11:11There's somewhere Linda Huff going, she keeps Googling me
11:14I'm just learning about my business
11:16Carlos, tell us, what is the dance next week?
11:19What is the plan?
11:20It's American smooth
11:21It's big
11:22It's whimsy
11:23It's dramatic
11:24It's imaginary
11:25It's everything it's strictly about
11:27Wow
11:28Thank you
11:29Yeah, thank you very much
11:30Good day
11:32I'm giving that a ten
11:33I don't even know what just happened
11:35I love you
11:36I love you mom
11:37George, talk to me
11:38Because I believe you're going through a bit of a crisis regarding your hair
11:41Yeah, no, I moved house in week three
11:43Oh
11:44That's stressful
11:45Yeah, now my barber is like an hour away
11:47So I don't really want to test anyone out
11:49Whilst on national TV because that could go really sideways
11:52Can I do it?
11:53Who wants to have a go?
11:55I actually don't
11:56I think I think
11:57Could we?
11:58Dream when I said I don't want to test anyone out
11:59Oh no, but we would do it with love
12:02That's actually a fantastic fringe
12:04You see?
12:05Oh, come on
12:06Alexis, I believe George has introduced you to the snacks of the UK
12:09Tell me more
12:10Yes, I have been introduced to the wonders
12:12That is a corner shop
12:16I love salt and vinegar flavours
12:19And there's so many salt and vinegar flavour options here
12:22And so I've just had my pick of the bucket
12:25This is excellent
12:28Tell me
12:29Because I know it means a lot to you
12:30Tell me the song you're dancing to next week
12:32Well at the start of the series
12:33You sort of get told
12:34Like what's your sort of
12:35Have you got like a playlist that you listen to?
12:37Like what sort of music do you like?
12:38The only song that I said was somewhere only we know
12:41Yeah
12:42Because my sister sang that at my grandad's funeral
12:44Oh
12:45And I know it means a lot to my family
12:47And we've had various troubles throughout the years
12:49So I wanted to sort of have something that would be a nice thing to sort of give to them
12:54Yeah, we'll resonate with them
12:55Yeah
12:56We cannot wait to see the dance
12:57Thank you so much
12:58APPLAUSE
12:59Vicky, I know how much you want to make it to Blackpool
13:02Yeah
13:03That is coming up after next week
13:05Are you even letting yourself dream about it?
13:08So, Kai, as I say, what's it about the rabbits?
13:12A man who chases two rabbits never catches either of them
13:15Which means if we don't look too far ahead we'll focus on each week
13:19So I'm only trying to catch one rabbit at the minute
13:22Understood
13:23And that is next week
13:24But I will just say
13:26My grandma and grandad used to dance at Blackpool
13:29And they're like no longer with work
13:31But it would mean a lot to me to be there and dance in the same place they did
13:36And sort of do them proud in that way
13:38So even though I am firmly focused on the first rabbit
13:41I am sort of thinking about the second one
13:43Understood
13:44You can just see the tail of the second rabbit
13:47Um, Kai, you really wanted to crack the final judge
13:51Yes
13:52Craig
13:53And you did on Saturday night
13:54How did it feel?
13:55Oh, it felt good
13:56I never thought I'd hear Craig say perfect and be talking about us
13:58But this one just pulled it out of the bag
14:00And I said to her before we went on
14:01I said this is your flaw, go and rip it up
14:03And I think she did just that
14:04So she did great
14:05That was a brilliant thing to say
14:07Congratulations again
14:10Amber, you've said that this whole situation
14:13This whole show is a bit like being a yo-yo
14:16It's like emotionally
14:18The start of the week is so different to the end of the week
14:21You know, you get given your choreography and you think
14:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
14:25This isn't going to be ready by Saturday night
14:26And then, you know, you start going up and down
14:29Like a yo-yo emotionally
14:31Yeah, it's like it's so enjoyable
14:33And then you all look after each other
14:35Yeah
14:36You've said that as well, George
14:37I've loved it
14:38You said the best thing is being able to watch each other
14:40And everybody, everybody goes through the same thing
14:43Yeah
14:44You know, so we're all doing this together
14:46Absolutely
14:47Yeah
14:48Nikita, you have got the song of songs next week
14:50Please share
14:51Yes, I do, Claude

15:34who told us just what your donations have meant to him and his family
15:44my name is christopher i'm 16 years old um i was wishing um
15:47patsy was going to speak to us today but he couldn't make it to the bbc studios in el street
15:51christopher was diagnosed with autism when he was three years old tricky times then
16:00he wouldn't play with people he played alongside people he couldn't handle the interaction when i
16:07heard about this is us i i couldn't believe my luck this dance company is a it's a it's a big
16:13piece of fresh air it's um about being yourself really to see people like christopher thrive
16:20through movement and creativity means the absolute world we do what we do because we see that it can
16:26make a difference without the funding from children in need we wouldn't be able to open as many doors
16:32to new families it's much more than just learning some dances he's for him it's given him an enormous
16:38amount of confidence you're also a massive stripney fan aren't you yeah i know if i would describe one
16:46word i think it would be um fantastic he's just completely engrossed in strictly if i would have
16:54to pick a favorite judge it would be anton de beck he's hilarious my favorite dancer is nikita

18:53special children in need prize draw at the end of the show now for people who love talking about
19:00dancing nearly as much as i love listening to people talk about dancing please welcome the judges
19:14thank you so much for coming um craig i'm going to start with you good uh because alex had a tricky
19:28saturday night and it's true isn't it that not every dance can sue every person that's true and i think
19:35what froze her on the saturday night was the fact that she was thinking too much about technically what
19:43she was doing and almost forgot to live the experience you know that can stop you you know from
19:51acting as well because you're so terrified about getting the footwork right and all the shaping right
19:57because it's an odd odd dance and it's very very difficult and i think she did a brilliant job i mean
20:03she was clean she was very very she danced it brilliantly but we know as judges she could
20:10dance it so much better if she had have just let her personality go but we love her we think she's
20:17amazing yeah thank you very very much shirley i'd love to talk to you about valvinda she got her highest
20:23score of the competition so far you loved it specifically you mentioned their teamwork tell me more
20:30well i was very happy for valvinda she's been in the bottom two a few times now and she came out on
20:35saturday night with julian and her arm movements and her synchronicity and her flow was absolutely
20:43outstanding i mean even i learned some things off her when i was watching and hats off to julian he got
20:49out there and he just partnered like there was no tomorrow so i think she was fantastic what a night to
20:57have absolutely agreed thank you anton i need to talk to you about amber and nikita you love their
21:04lifts so much you almost recreated one of them you can do it now tell you what we can give you the
21:09fireman's and john will take control don't worry is this safe trust him if you can now what happens is
21:15what we'll do i think for safety purposes for safety our move what we'll do is i'll come over here
21:22rather rather maybe i'll just what are you doing i'll put it like that and then you can do it
21:29look at that beautiful amazing amazing amazing um you see i feel so much better you're made of air that
21:47was amazing but you were particularly impressed with those lifts i know what was it about 23 it was so
21:53wonderful they do we talk about the lifts a lot because we do lift in a number of the dances yeah
21:59and we talk about the ins and the outs of the lifts because the in and the out of the lift is as
22:05important as the bit in the air really but if you can see it come in and go it it's not very interesting
22:11those were seamless and the one at the end where shot through the arms like that finished in a deep
22:17long plie amazing thank you very much um mozi you said vicky had the dance of the night why was it so
22:25perfect for you well i think for us it's really important that the dancers uh the celebs the the
22:32couples make it easy for us to judge yes they need to make clarity in music performance all of that and
22:39she gave us that we don't need to think about it we're just looking for a performance and when we see
22:44those mistakes it's it's actually not a good feeling for us so she gave us a perfect dance
22:51we could actually enjoy it even watching it again you enjoy it and that's always a sign of just being
22:57outstanding and that's what she was okay thank you so much um can we just have a moment for
23:03that he's so versatile he is my husband watch this
23:16let's hear it to the judges
23:44the judges soon we will find out which couples must dance again tonight but first in honor of

25:35To me it's a home
25:37And a home that you made
25:40Where the grandkids could play
25:43But it's never the same without you
25:49So humor, make my day
25:55I'll tell your stories
25:58I'll kiss your face
26:01And I pray you'll remember my name
26:11And I pray you'll remember my name
26:24And I pray you'll remember my name
26:36I pray you'll remember my name
26:42And I pray you'll remember my name
26:45Thank you so much to choreographer Matt Flynn and the band of the Royal Air Force Regiment for that incredible dance
27:04It's time to find out who is in tonight's dance off
27:11Four couples are still waiting to hear the results of your votes
27:17Lavoie and Aliash
27:24Alex and Johannes
27:28Louis and Katia
27:30Harry and Karen
27:32I'm about to announce who will go head to head to keep their place in Strictly
27:36The very best of luck to you all
27:38I can now reveal that the first couple in tonight's dance off is
27:59Harry and Karen
28:05And the couple they'll be up against in the dance off is
28:17Lavoie and Aliash
28:21So Alex and Johannes and Louis and Katia congratulations you are through
28:26Lavoie and Aliash and Harry and Karen
28:30I'm so sorry
28:32Please come and join me
28:34Thank you
28:36Come on over my darling
28:41So sorry you guys have found yourself in the dance off
28:44First dance off for both of you
28:46Lavoie how are you feeling?
28:47Well I might need to get some sort of animatronics in my bra I feel
28:51To match the peck action that's about to happen
28:53Oh yes
28:54But do you know what?
28:55This is a situation no one wants to be in
28:58And from someone who is just born to entertain this is really quite scary this precise moment
29:04I'm just gonna do the best I can and if it's the best toe turn you'll ever see
29:08That's what you'll get
29:10How about you Harry?
29:12Any situation like this is always scary this is the way a show's gotta go but at the end of the day we're gonna
29:20Give our all it's an honor to actually dance again so I appreciate obviously dancing with Karen
29:24And you know we just gotta give what we can give
29:26Okay well let's get some advice from the judges right now
29:32Craig
29:33Neither of these couples have faced the dance off before so how do you think they should best handle this now?
29:38Yeah try not to I think let the nerves get the better of you
29:42Think about actually what you need to achieve
29:46You know I would love to see love wild do a heel turn that would be great if that was slipped in there
29:54I would love to see a softer knee from Harry for instance
29:57I think you are equally matched and I think
30:01Paul Motsi is gonna have a bit of a nightmare you know on this because
30:07It's gonna be a tough one for us absolutely because all of us judges absolutely adore both couples and
30:15Don't want to see either of you go but unfortunately it's the way it is but all the best
30:22Thank you very much
30:24LaVoie and Aliash, Harry and Karen
30:26We are all behind you and it's not over yet there's everything to dance for so best of luck from all of us
30:32See you later the dance off
30:34Claudia's upstairs with our last two safe couples
30:37Thank you Tess, two very relieved couples up with me
30:41Alex Saturday night was a tough one
30:43Yes it was
30:44What do you want to say to those who voted for you?
30:48I just want to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart
30:51I mean it was it was a real challenge and a massive learning curve for me
30:57So thank you thank you thank you
31:00Well done we can't wait to see you dance next week
31:03Thank you
31:04You two you've got a beautiful synergy you get on brilliantly you have also discovered for us which we didn't know that Jojo's got quite a big phobia
31:13Yes you do
31:15He's frightened of English woods
31:18Excuse me
31:20You just don't know what you're going to meet
31:24We were going to meet in the
31:27Oh my god
31:28Like a squirrel
31:30We were in rehearsals
31:31And there was this noise coming from the bushes
31:33And Alex said to me I think you should go out there and check
31:37I said ooh
31:40It was loud it sounded almost like a lion
31:46It was a rutting deer
31:49Thank you so much
31:50So much
31:51Another insight is Jojo you've got a very particular way that you would like to warm up
31:57So this week I changed it up a little bit and I played her fighting song that she told me about weeks ago
32:03Yes
32:04And all there was screaming there was dancing
32:07Yeah
32:08And she kept on saying Canal Street Manchester
32:11It's a great place
32:13It is
32:14Just to put us there can we have the song please
32:16Oh
32:17Oh
32:18Oh
32:19Oh
32:20Oh
32:21Oh
32:22Oh
32:23Oh

32:25Oh
32:26Oh
32:27Oh
32:28Oh
32:29Amazing
32:30We love you Jojo
32:31No it's my favourite thing is you're loving the heels aren't you
32:35I actually feel more comfortable in heels than barefoot now
32:38Do you
32:39I do I don't know something about them
32:40There's something about them
32:41The Cuban Latins
32:42The Cuban Latins
32:43I like it
32:44You two have been quite a big social media trend
32:47Did you know that this week?
32:48Did we?
32:49Yes people trying to replicate that amazing couples choice
32:53Oh yeah yeah
32:54A lot of kids have been like sending in videos of them doing either the lean or the bit of tap dance as well
32:59Yeah
33:00Should we do the lean?
33:01No
33:02I'm 53
33:03I didn't I wouldn't even know what that means
33:05I can't spell lean
33:06Let me ask you this
33:08Katia Lewis has been asking you all week what?
33:10Begging you
33:11Well this is it right?
33:13Hit
33:14Monday hits
33:15New dance
33:16They're like oh no
33:17I actually realised I preferred the dance before
33:20Which I didn't like on Monday before
33:23Yeah
33:24Isn't it?
33:25That is it?
33:26So true
33:27Do you want to get back to ballroom?
33:28Do you want to tell him what you're doing next week?
33:29We are doing the tango
33:32Which you will probably hate on Monday
33:36That's a different pair of shoes isn't it?
33:38Yeah, it's not a Cuban heel unfortunately
33:41I can wear them in my brakes
33:42Yes you can
33:44Whatever makes you happy
33:45Congratulations to all of you
33:48You are through
33:49Before the dance off some music
33:51Please welcome the very brilliant James Morrison
33:54James Morrison
33:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
34:00I know sometimes you feel
34:13Like you can't see the sun
34:17And all the clouds follow you
34:21Don't be so hard on yourself
34:26Cause better times will come
34:30You're strong enough to make it through

36:24Find another day
36:56Thank you to James Morrison and our professional dancers, Neil and Yavita.
37:18The wait is now over.
37:19On Saturday night, Lavoie and Aliash scored 29 and Harry and Karen scored 30, so this
37:26could not be closer.
37:28Performing first with their Foxtrot, it's Lavoie and Aliash.
37:32Nobody can tell you there's only one song worth singing.
37:51They may try and sell you, cause it hangs them up to see someone like you.
38:01But you gotta make your own kind of music, sing your own special song, make your own kind
38:14music, even if nobody else sings along.
38:23So if you cannot take my hand, and if you must be going, I will understand.
38:37You gotta make your own kind of music, sing your own special song, make your own kind
38:55music, even if nobody, even if nobody, even if nobody else sings along.
39:07There we go, there we go, there we go.
39:23Lavoie and Aliash have done all they can, performing next with their Samba, it's Harry and Karen.
39:29Everybody, gather round now, let your body feel good.
39:57If you want to do the summer
40:03You've got to listen to the
40:06So back to the summer
40:16I know you've enjoyed so many long
40:18You've got to get it strong
40:20And don't try to teach you
40:21To the summer beat
40:22Oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey
40:40I'm a diva, I'm a samba
40:46I wish I could do the summer
40:48I know you've enjoyed so many long
40:50You're dealing with the welding so can be just wrong
40:52But don't you ever teach you
40:53To the summer beat
40:55Oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey
41:07Can't tell you that I'm a diva
41:12Thank you
41:13Come on, Leigh
41:14Goodな
41:15Good luck
41:15Good luck
41:16Good luck
41:17Thank you
41:19Another fierce dance-off, but only one of these couples can keep their place.
41:30Judges, it's over to you.
41:37Based on that dance-off alone, I'm about to ask each of you
41:40the name of the couple you think deserves to stay and why.
41:43The couple with the most votes will remain in the competition,
41:46meaning the other couple will leave Strychnick on Dancing.
41:49In the event of a tie, our judge with a casting vote, and that is you,
41:53the sweet Motsy, will have the final say.
41:58Shirley, we'll start with you.
41:59Who do you want to send through to next week and why?
42:02Well, both couples were great.
42:05LaVoy, you did the most beautiful heel turn.
42:08And Harry, you did a much better quarter jacca here over in the corner.
42:13You both danced extremely well, I found.
42:15This is very, very difficult for me.
42:17But for the degree of clarity of technique, I'm going to say LaVoy and Aliash.
42:22APPLAUSE
42:26Anton, who do you think deserves to stay in Strictly and why?
42:29Well, if you can have such a thing, this was an excellent dance-off.
42:34Both couples danced better than they did on Saturday night.
42:38We'll have to rename that now back to the heel turn for LaVoy.
42:43And Harry's leg action was much softer and more fluid through his dance as well.
42:50So, this is a very difficult decision, and it's a very, very close decision.
42:54But for me, I'd like to save, just because of the musicality of the dance,
42:59over and above everything else, I'd like to save LaVoy and Aliash.
43:05APPLAUSE
43:08That is two votes to LaVoy and Aliash.
43:11If Craig now opts to save them, they will be through to next week's show.
43:16Craig, who has secured your vote and why?
43:19Yeah, like the other judges, I found it really difficult tonight
43:24because they were evenly matched.
43:26But I'm going to go for improvement.
43:29And for me, that couple, I would like to say LaVoy and Aliash.
43:35LaVoy and Aliash, congratulations!
43:38We will see you next week.
43:40But that does, of course, mean we are going to have to say goodbye
43:44to Harry and Karen.
43:46Please come and join me.
43:48And Motsi, can I ask, did you agree with your fellow judges?
43:52Yes. I would have saved LaVoy.
43:54Thank you very much.
43:55APPLAUSE
44:01Harry, our gladiator.
44:03You have lit up this ballroom every single week
44:07with your positive energy, and we are going to miss that so much,
44:11all of us, genuinely.
44:13No, I appreciate that.
44:14I think, first things, I just want to thank Karen.
44:17Genuinely, you have given me the opportunity to shine.
44:20You've understood my crazy brain.
44:22I'm such a logical person, trying to dance and obviously,
44:25you know, doing what I do.
44:26Olympic sprinter, gladiator.
44:28Now, I'm trying to be a dancer.
44:29I just want to thank you so much for the time and effort,
44:32the hard work that you've put into me.
44:33You show up, you turn out.
44:34I want to thank everyone here.
44:35Literally, this has been a dream come true.
44:37Yay!
44:38We all love you!
44:40No, no, come on.
44:41This is a celebration.
44:42It's a celebration.
44:43I spoke to my daughter, and she didn't like seeing her dad sad.
44:47And she wanted to...
44:48When she saw me sad last week, she was like,
44:50Daddy, what's wrong?
44:51And this is where it's to show everyone that, look,
44:53no matter what happens, there's always a silver lining.
44:55But this is an experience for me, so thank you for this lovely gift.
44:58And at the end of the day, we carry on.
45:00We give it to them, and we continue to shine.
45:02Do you know what I mean?
45:07Karen, you two have had so much fun together.
45:10How proud are you of Harry?
45:12I am extremely proud of you.
45:14We've had the best time.
45:15Yes.
45:16And you're such a gentleman.
45:17You're a hard worker.
45:18I loved you in every kind of way because of the person that you are.
45:23And it was an honour to teach you, so thank you so much.
45:25Thank you so much.
45:26And the good news is you invented a whole new genre on Strictly.
45:32Oh, yeah?
45:33Peckography.
45:34Peckography.
45:35Long may it continue.
45:36Long may it continue, Anton.
45:37I'll see you next week, yeah?
45:38I'm in.
45:39I'm with you.
45:41Thank you so much.
45:42You will be sorely missed the pair of you.
45:44We've loved you two together.
45:45You've been such a great, great team.
45:47Thank you so much.
45:49Thank you, Harry.

45:52you've been brilliant.

46:17But now, with their goodbye to the ballroom,
