00:00FLAIR EAST
00:16Please welcome your host, FLAIR EAST
00:25Hello and welcome to It Takes Two on BBC Two and iPlayer!
00:30This week our celebs are evacuating the dance floor here at Elstree and they're heading up north to dance in the iconic Tower Ballroom instead!
00:39What a weekend it promises to be and here's what I've got lined up for you on this terrific Tuesday
00:47It was so close to picture perfect for Amber and Nikita on Saturday as their intensity and frame led to two more tens
00:54Now they've gone from dream on to dreaming of that fresh seaside air
01:00They made their waltz in the woods look like a walk in the park
01:03Alex and Johannes bounced back in style on Saturday and secured a spot in Blackpool with a tremendous routine
01:09And they're the glam squad behind some of the most iconic Strictly looks
01:13I'll be brushing up on how hair and makeup's Lisa Davey and Lisa Armstrong make the magic happen
01:18But first tonight it's time for the Strictly musical chart that has more ups and downs than our crew have to do flights of stairs to get all the kit into the Tower Ballroom
01:27Welcome to a very special Blackpool edition of It Takes Two's Top of the Box
01:41In case you missed it on the results show here's a rundown of the songs our couples will be dancing to at the famous Tower Ballroom
01:47So in no particular order, just like a roller coaster, here's who's up and who's down in this week's Top 7
01:56Straight in at 7, a logical choice for Balvinda and Julian who will be dancing the 5th Blackpool Argentine Tango to the logical song by Supertramp
02:04Down 1 at 6, it's double trouble for Alex and Johannes as they dance to both Look At Me and History Repeating
02:13But will Blackpool history be repeating with the couple's choice taking the top spot for a 4th consecutive year?
02:21At 5, it's party time for George and Alexis as they're doing a Salsa to Rock This Party by Bob Sinclair
02:26They'll be hoping the party doesn't stop in Blackpool
02:29A returner at 4, Amber's quick step will be to 90's classic S Club 7's reach
02:36But will she reach for the stars and the top of the leaderboard up north?
02:41Now the moment you've all been waiting for, it's the Blackpool Top 3, again in no particular order
02:47On the rise at 3, there's something in the seaside air
02:53La Voix and Aliash will be sambering to this
02:56That's John Paul Young's Love Is In The Air
03:00And La Voix will be hoping her dance gets some love from the judges on Saturday
03:04At 2, Lewis and Katia will be hoping they look good on the dance floor with the Charleston to this
03:10That's the Arctic Monkeys 2006 breakthrough hit
03:16I bet you look good on the dance floor
03:18It's one and only previous Strictly outing was in the final for Joe Sugg's show dance with Diane back in Series 16
03:25And claiming that number one spot, it's Karen and Carlos
03:30They'll be dancing a Paso Doble to a version of this
03:33Instantly recognisable, full of drama, perfect for a Tower Ballroom Paso
03:38This will be the song's fourth time on Strictly
03:42But will Fortuna favour the brave this weekend?
03:45And that's it for this week's special Blackpool edition of Top of the Box
03:50Right, from chart toppers to table toppers, Amber and Nikita led the way on Saturday night after a Paso that can only be described like this
04:01So it's all dramatic here and you wander around over there and it's all like that and it's suddenly a whack
04:06And then you walk away over there like they give it a bit of that frocky frocky frocky
04:09I love that and wham the back bend over there
04:12Beautifully put
04:13I love the fact that every single dance looks so different this is absolutely stunning
04:23I would have liked to have seen a little bit more side stretch so that your head is outside the frame
04:28Having that aside the way you use your arms when you turn you demonstrate it exquisitely
04:32The drama and that was absolutely magnificent, you dance with purpose, I thought it was brilliant
04:44Please welcome Amber and Nikita
04:47The highest scoring Paso of the series
04:51Yes it was very nice, it was very nice
04:53It's the first time I've seen it actually
04:55Oh was that your first review?
04:56Yeah, I just watched it now on the screen actually
04:58How exciting! Well done!
04:59I've watched it about 47 times
05:01Okay, so Amber, where does this rank for you compared to the other dancers you've done so far?
05:07It's top
05:09Really? It's 100% top
05:11The week we had like, he's literally, his passion is infectious
05:18Like, the way he spoke about the Paso, I couldn't help but love it myself
05:23Before we even started, you know, and it was very different to what we've done before
05:28Yeah, very different
05:30So, even the way like, your body moves and the shapes that you do was, it was a bit like that
05:36And so, you know, I kind of liked to go there because it was uncomfortable
05:41So, yeah, I loved it, I loved last week
05:44I hope we can keep the positive vibes for Blackpool
05:46It was his, I love it, Blackpool
05:49Whoa, the universal sign for Blackpool
05:52Um, Nikita, you mentioned to Claudia that this wasn't a Paso song
05:58Why wasn't it a Paso song and how did you adapt the style?
06:01No, it was not
06:03Oh, he's never gonna let me die, I can't forget that
06:05No, yeah, so it wasn't a Paso song and, no, okay
06:07Yeah, why wasn't it and how did you adapt it then, based on the music?
06:11We, you see, I couldn't use any of the basic figures
06:16Therefore, I was bouncing a little bit more of the voice of the crescendo of the drums
06:22Of the little nuggets of music and everything that could do
06:25Because the rhythm was different?
06:26The rhythm was completely different, yeah
06:28Because Paso is ta-ka-ra-ta-ka-ra-ta
06:30And this was one and two and four
06:33So you either go, yeah, did you like my notes?
06:36I liked it
06:37Yeah, thank you, thank you, a little singing queen
06:40Um, no, so you either could go really fast or really slow
06:45And the most important thing, I think, in either one of those options
06:49It was embracing the depth, the character, the kind of like the intensity
06:56You should feel Paso Dobli in every single joint, in every single muscle
07:01And Amber truly did, she embraced it
07:02And I was just seeing, you know, like, you could see it in real time
07:06I could see Amber just going into those shapes
07:08And I was just, that's sick
07:10I love it, I love it, I love it, well done you
07:12Thank you
07:14Sick
07:16And Nikita, you also did your outfit reveal with Vicky Gill on Thursday
07:18You said you wanted more chest
07:19So, how did we get from what we saw, this, on Thursday, to this?
07:26What...
07:28Thank you
07:30What actually happened there?
07:31Thank you, everybody
07:33Thank you
07:35Do you know what, Flo, even the trousers are different
07:37Nothing is the same
07:39Yeah, it's drama, it's drama, drama, drama, drama, darling
07:43I saw a lot of comments saying, I forgot to watch Amber
07:48Oh, really?
07:49I'd be the same
07:51I love that
07:53Well, you've now doubled your tens
07:55Oh, yes
07:57We did
07:58Why do you think Craig and Shirley aren't joining the party?
08:00What do you think is going on?
08:02I don't know
08:04Do you know what, though?
08:05I'm changing the narrative in my mind to
08:07I'm actually glad we haven't had them yet
08:09Okay
08:10From those two, because it gives us something to work for
08:13Mmm
08:15When Craig holds up that ten, because I'm manifesting that he will one day
08:19It's going to be so worth it
08:21It is, it is
08:22Like we would have fought tooth and nail for it
08:25Yeah
08:26Well, he might not, you never know, but
08:28We'll work hard for it
08:29Well, you're through to Blackpool
08:30We are
08:31And you'll be doing a quick step to this
08:33Reach for the storm
08:35S got seven, Reach
08:36It's such a feel-good song
08:39So how much are you hoping to bring the posse vibes to Blackpool?
08:43Look, I saw them when I was younger in concert
08:45So this is like, it's my karaoke song
08:48It was always on in the house
08:50So it's quite a nostalgic song for me
08:52And to bring, that's going to be our goal, isn't it?
08:55Bring the party and the positive energy to the ballroom
08:58And I think even today when we're rehearsing
09:00You naturally smile dancing that song
09:03Yeah
09:04You know, you naturally
09:06Cause you've got me and I've got you so
09:11Do you know what I mean?
09:12Yeah
09:13It's like, I know what you mean
09:14Also, it's a song about friendship
09:15Yeah
09:16So we can just dance it to each other
09:18Yeah, when we're looking at each other smiling
09:19And I think that's the whole vibe of it
09:21That's so nice
09:22You're doing a quick step
09:23Yeah
09:24In Blackpool
09:25Yeah
09:26The floor is massive
09:27How do you go about that in training, Nikita
09:28When you're thinking about the space?
09:29Well, you sort of improvise and you hope that the training room is as big as it can be
09:36But I think that's the wonderful thing about Blackpool, isn't it?
09:39Just being able to run
09:42It's honestly, it's been a dream of mine to do a quick step in Blackpool
09:46And to run across that ballroom, I mean, I cannot wait to dance with you
09:53I cannot wait to show you Blackpool
09:55I know
09:56Do you know what I mean?
09:57It's just, yeah
09:58I'm excited, excited, excited
09:59And I've heard about this bouncy floor
10:01Yeah, bouncy floor
10:02Yeah, it really does bounce
10:03Does it?
10:04It really does
10:05It's incredible
10:06The spring is like nothing else
10:07You've performed in some incredible places though, Amber
10:10But how does it feel to add the Tower Ballroom now to that list?
10:13It feels surreal, honestly
10:15I feel like the fact that we've even got to Blackpool is like a dream come true
10:20So, and you know, this has been such a special and incredible experience
10:25The fact that we get to do a quick step there
10:28It's like, you know, everything else is like a bonus now
10:31Yeah
10:32It's a dream
10:33And the Big Dipper
10:34We've got to go on the Big Dipper
10:35I'm trying to get everyone to bring something back for me
10:37So maybe a keychain
10:38I'll take a keychain
10:39Okay, we'll make sure we do that
10:40Do you want some fish and chips from Blackpool?
10:41Yeah, bring it back
10:42Might be a little cold
10:43I'll take it
10:44I'll take it
10:45I'll microwave it for you
10:46Thank you
10:47Have the most amazing time
10:48Thank you
10:49You're going to love it
10:50It's Amber and Nikita

11:57And Strictly hair designer Lisa Davies
12:00I'm coming to you first
12:04Lisa Armstrong or Lisa A for the purposes of today
12:06We've got Lisa squared
12:08We've now lost over half of the celebs in the competition
12:11But have your Saturday slowed down at all?
12:13Not at all, not at all
12:14It just gets busier and busier
12:16And obviously we're heading off to Blackpool this weekend
12:18So, so many more group dances, music act numbers
12:22You know, it just gets bigger and better every year
12:24So, still as busy, you know what it's like in the makeup room
12:26Yes, there's always a buzz
12:28Always a buzz
12:29It's so much fun, that's where you get all the gossip
12:31Okay, over to Lisa D
12:32So, we've just mentioned we're going to Blackpool
12:34There's limited space in the Blackpool Tower
12:36Yeah
12:37How do you deal with that?
12:38Well, I mean there's 20 of us all together
12:40We're all squished into this like long corridor
12:43Of a makeup room
12:44And yeah, I mean we like have the itinerary
12:47Get everything sent up the week before with the prop boys
12:49And then we get there and try and unpack it
12:51In this like really small space with all of us
12:53It's quite a lot, but you know, we make it work
12:55We've done it every year, so it's all good
12:57It's all good
12:58Yeah, you know what you're doing
12:59We know what we're doing
13:00Well, we found two more models for you today
13:02Yeah
13:03That thankfully are not bears
13:04So, we've got Molly and Zara
13:07Students from Elstree Screen Arts Academy
13:10Yeah, yeah
13:11And you're going to be recreating two looks with them
13:14Yes
13:15So, Lisa, you're going to recreate Lauren's look
13:17Yes
13:18From the Wicked group number
13:19Yes, that was our pro number on Movie Week
13:21So, I just thought that we'll recreate that number
13:23Because it's so current and so on trend at the moment
13:25And just to show the viewer as well how you can use colour
13:28And make it look fabulous
13:29Okay, nice
13:30And Lisa, you've chosen to recreate Amber's Argentine Tango look
13:34I have
13:35Similar really, it's like party season, isn't it?
13:37So, this is something that people can do themselves
13:39It's really easy
13:40Don't need many products to do it
13:42So, I'm going to show you step by step how to create this
13:45Yeah, well, let's do it
13:46Let's do it
13:47Take us through it
13:48So, obviously, this is
13:49Here's one I made earlier
13:50This is done
13:51But literally, it's just section by section
13:54So, start at the bottom
13:55So, let me just turn around Zara here
13:59So, if you take a section at the bottom
14:01And the really important thing is
14:03Is to get the gel and the product in at the nape
14:06And each section, as you go up
14:08You flatten to the head, flatten to the head
14:10Use water, gel, a little bit of hair spray and a comb
14:14And that's it, you're away really
14:15These clips at the side, they're just to sort of like
14:18Keep everything in
14:19So, obviously, you want to take this out
14:20This sets, you can use a hair dryer as well
14:22Just to sort of set it in a little bit
14:24That just keeps it nice and tight to the head
14:27So, that you just get that really nice shape
14:29And obviously, if this loosens up a little bit
14:31It doesn't matter because you kind of want that
14:32But the initial shape is just to get that nice and tight to the head
14:36And then in a minute, I'm going to add a little, you know, touch
14:39Party touch that you can do at home
14:41But you'll see that at the end
14:43Very exciting, okay
14:44So, while you continue with that look
14:46I'm going to go over here to Lisa Armstrong
14:48So, talk us through what you're doing over here
14:50So, basically, we've just done a wash of green over the eye
14:54And then we've added a darker green in the contour of the eye
14:57See there, just in the socket line
14:59And then we've done some individual gems under the eye
15:02Just to make the eye pop
15:03And now, clever little trick
15:05We have this gorgeous little diamante on a strip
15:09So, makes it nice and easy so it's not so fiddly, Fleur
15:12Perfect
15:13So, basically, if you just close your eye for me, babe
15:14You literally just go into the socket line there
15:16And then you just place right there in the socket line
15:21Over where you've done your contour and boom
15:25Oh, beautiful
15:26We have a little glittery eye
15:27See that, I'm glad you've shown me that
15:29Because it's quite fiddly when you're trying to do things like that
15:30It is quite fiddly and like with the eyelash glue
15:32And like not getting too much onto the tweezers to apply
15:35So, a great way just to kind of like cheat it
15:38But still gets that absolutely brilliant sparkly look
15:41So, nice little tip for you there
15:43How did Laura react when you finished the look on her?
15:46Oh, they all love it
15:47They all love it
15:48I mean, it's one of their favourite places to come into the hair and makeup room
15:52So, everyone
15:53We've done everyone different
15:54So, everyone has a little take on a variation of the looks from Wicked
15:57And again, people at home can try different variations
16:00It's not like a set look
16:01You can literally put the gems any which way you want
16:04Like one in the corner, one on the outer corner
16:06You even can do it on the lash line
16:08So, it's literally really adaptable
16:10And obviously with Christmas coming up as well
16:12You could like play with the colours, Fleur
16:14This is perfect
16:15Okay, I'm going to go back to Lisa Davey and see how she's getting on
16:19So, ooh, what are you doing here?
16:20We're on the gold leaf
16:21So, I'm using gold leaf here
16:22But I mean, you can use anything that you want really
16:24Just use a little bit of gel on the hair to make it stick
16:27A little bit of hair spray
16:29Just get a little brush like this
16:31And then you just kind of dab it on where you want it to be
16:33Wow
16:34I mean, as much or as little as you want really
16:36But what's also really nice
16:38If you are going to a party or you're going out somewhere
16:40You can also bring it down onto the face, into the makeup a little bit
16:43Just to, you know, make it a little bit more fancy
16:46But just as you can see, it's like really, really effective
16:49Is gold leaf expensive?
16:50No, online you can get it
16:52Yes
16:53Really quite cheaply
16:54And you just kind of pat it in
16:55And then once it's on
16:56And to set it
16:57A little bit of hair spray
16:58And that will just set that in
16:59But like I said, you can go
17:01You know, you can go as much as you want
17:03Or as little as you want
17:04And it's just really super effective
17:06How easy is that to remove afterwards?
17:08Just wash it
17:09I mean, probably the gel
17:10The gel's probably harder to get out than this, to be fair
17:12But yeah, you know, to be fair
17:14I've mixed the gel with an oil-based product
17:16Just to make it a little bit easier
17:18So that you've got a bit of movement still in the hair
17:20So that's a good tip as well
17:22So honestly, being on Strictly, the best moment
17:25One of the best moments is being in the hair and makeup chair
17:27And seeing that transformation
17:29Like do you ever get over that feeling?
17:31Like when you see the celebs react for the first time?
17:34No, it's really nice
17:35And obviously like there's a build-up
17:37Because when people first come
17:38We have to kind of like, you know, build them up to the certain look
17:42Some people are like, yeah, we want this, we want this
17:43Other people are like, not so sure
17:45I have to like talk them around
17:46But it is really nice to see the transformations
17:48And the best ones for me are like the last minute ones
17:51When you have to change something
17:52And pull something out of the box really quickly
17:54And just turn it into something, you know, amazing
17:56So yeah, we're lucky
17:58You are, you are
17:59It's amazing, it's an amazing job
18:00Thank you
18:01I'm going to go back to Lisa Armstrong
18:02So where are we at now with these eyes?
18:04Ooh, they're literally
18:05I've gone a bit rogue, Fleur
18:06I'm adding, I'm adding, I'm adding
18:08You're just going
18:09I'm just going for it
18:10So literally now I've just put a little corner one there
18:13Ooh
18:14It's quite pretty
18:15But like I said, again, very versatile
18:17You know, there's no rules
18:18There's no right or wrong
18:19Literally just have a little play
18:21And just like, yes, sparkle away
18:23It's kind of like that though, isn't it?
18:24In the Strictly experience
18:25Because we as celebs, we just sit in the chair
18:27Yeah
18:28And then we kind of just let you go to work
18:29And like you've done here
18:31You kind of improvise in the moment as well, right?
18:32Yeah, exactly
18:33And everyone wants an individual look
18:35And as well with the choreographer
18:36Especially with that wicked number
18:38He wanted everyone to be different
18:40So yeah, we just like have a little play around
18:42And use different like shades and tones of the colours
18:44But again, like I said, you know, you can use any colour on this
18:47So great for like Christmas parties
18:49Like the, you know, the burnt orange
18:51The dark burgundies
18:52The reds, the golds, the bronzes
18:54So any colours you like
18:55Just a wash of colour over the eye
18:57Like I said in the first place
18:59And then you just take your little thin brush
19:01And just got a darker colour
19:02And then you just blend it through here
19:04Just following the shape of the socket line
19:06Shape of the eye
19:07And then just bring it to the inner corner of the nose
19:09And then just naturally where the eye socket is
19:12And then there you go
19:13It looks beautiful
19:14Bit of liner
19:15Always a lash fleur
19:16Always a lash
19:17Always a lash
19:18And then we've just finished off
19:19With a nice brick lip liner
19:21And filled it in with some gloss
19:22That's beautiful
19:23Any tips to keep the gems on?
19:24Well, you can use a bit of eyelash glue
19:26But little, little amount
19:28Because you don't want it to splosh into the skin
19:31So just a tiny little bit on the back of like your tweezers
19:34Put it on the back of your hand
19:35Take the tweezers
19:36Tap it in
19:37We had fun and games with that earlier
19:38Didn't we?
19:39Trying to get them precise on
19:40But a little bit on with the lash glue
19:42And then just like pop
19:43And then press
19:44And you're done
19:45Right, okay, Lisa
19:46Let's have a look at this final look
19:48And see how it matches up to Lauren's wicked look
19:51Oh, beautiful
19:54Look at that
19:55We've added a few more
19:56Yes
19:57We've got Gem happy here
19:59I love it though
20:00That is gorgeous
20:01But again, just to show you
20:02How you can use the different colour crystals
20:04I just thought you'd be able to see more
20:06For this environment with the silver crystals
20:09So hence why I put like the little individual green
20:12Just to show you again
20:13How you can sort of mix and match
20:14And then we've done with the silver crystals on the top
20:17And the socket line
20:18I love this
20:19I'm getting all my inspo for Christmas
20:20There you go
20:21Okay, and over to Lisa David for the final result
20:24Let's see how this matches up against Amber's Argentine tango look
20:28Oh
20:29Look at that
20:31Beautiful
20:32But as you can see on Amber
20:33We kind of brought it down onto her face a little bit
20:35Which I was explaining
20:36Like, you know, you can bring it down into your makeup a bit
20:38If you want to
20:39Or you can just leave it in the hairline
20:41And you can go down as far
20:42A little as, you know
20:43Beautiful
20:44Or as much as you want to
20:45Well, both Zara and Molly look gorgeous
20:47Thank you so much for coming in and doing this
20:49Thanks to the Lisas and our two models
20:52So good
20:56Right, on Saturday night
20:58Johannes overcame his fear of the woods
21:00As he and Alex waltzed through an autumnal forest
21:03And we couldn't believe how beautiful it was
21:08You know, it's not very often I sit here and think
21:10Oh, I'd love to trade places and dance with Johannes
21:12But that's the feeling you gave me today
21:14Beautiful footwork, no errors in footwork
21:16You just sent goosebumps all over me
21:18I think you're fantastic
21:20You two were absolutely dancing beautifully together
21:24I loved it
21:26This is what it's about
21:28Making people have goosebumps
21:30Living the moment with you guys
21:32And that was pure magic
21:34Again
21:38Give it up for Alex and Johannes
21:41A return to form on Saturday
21:43How comfortable were you out on that dance floor, Alex?
21:46It was really important to me this weekend, this dance
21:51Because I psychologically needed to put the week before aside
21:58And I needed to be able to get on that dance floor
22:03And enjoy a dance and come through it
22:06To just sort of in a sense
22:08Get all the cobwebs of doubt out of my system
22:11And so it was massively important
22:15And yes, and we just said to each other before it started
22:19We just said, it's just you and me on the floor
22:22This is for us
22:24And yeah, it was wonderful to just have that experience
22:30And to then, and to get over the kind of the doubts
22:34Yes, and Jojo, you look like you had a lovely time too
22:37Although Alex looked like she hardly broke a sweat
22:40Couldn't say the same for you
22:44You were dripping, you came through dripping
22:48What was going on?
22:49It's always a case, Fleur
22:51And as you would know
22:53Before we go on stage
22:54We normally rehearse the numbers, isn't it?
22:56But Alex is flawless like that
23:00And there I was going
23:06But it's so, that's me everyday though
23:09I don't even know how to explain that
23:11But...
23:12I think I'm going to keep an electric fan under my dress
23:15Just whip it out
23:16Just whip it out
23:17Just whip it out
23:18For Jojo, yeah
23:19All of the ankle work has paid off
23:21And no gapping as well
23:22No gapping
23:23How pleased were you to receive all of that praise from the judges?
23:27I was beyond proud
23:29And I thought, I hope this
23:33This, it validates you
23:35And lets you know that you are on the right path
23:37Because she's really been working hard
23:41When I tell you the woman is resilient, I mean it
23:43I've never seen anything like it
23:47And it's Alex's discipline that I honestly admire
23:51And I'm in awe of
23:53And that is what I was like
23:55It's going to be good
23:57On Monday when we were doing a few steps
23:59I said, it's going to be amazing
24:00And I hope you believe that
24:02You know, we had a blip
24:03But we are on our way, let's go
24:05And she did just that
24:07And it was the highest scoring waltz of the series
24:10By some distance
24:12I mean, I'm amazed by that
24:15But you know what, I'll take it
24:17Never in my life
24:18Yeah, how much confidence do you have in yourself now
24:20When it comes to ballroom?
24:22I mean, I've really enjoyed the ballroom experience
24:25I really have
24:28And I wasn't expecting to enjoy it at all, actually
24:33But the thing is what's so delicious
24:37Is being in the hold of a man who is so sure
24:43And just allowing them
24:45That's the thing
24:46It's allowing them to lead you
24:48And that's been for me
24:51The sort of the learning journey
24:53Is learning to just let go
24:55And just feel his body taking me where he wants it to go
25:01And allowing that to happen
25:03Yeah
25:04Yes
25:05Well, you did it
25:06You made it through to Blackpool
25:07Yes
25:08Congratulations
25:09You'll be doing a couple's choice
25:10Yes
25:11So a combination of this
25:12Look at me
25:14That's Gerry Halliwell
25:15Look at me
25:16And this
25:17Shirley Bassey
25:20This is very repeating
25:21Aha
25:22It sounds like the perfect mix, actually
25:24Yeah
25:25Yeah
25:26How excited are you to be getting to do a dance at Blackpool?
25:29Thanks
25:30Well, I...
25:31The whole sort of Blackpool experience for me has been kind of rather abstract up until now
25:37But we had a chance to do the big group number rehearsal
25:43Oh, yes
25:44And my goodness, I came away from that day so excited
25:50Because there are 47 people on the dance floor
25:55Wow
25:56And we're all doing the same dance number
25:58And it is just...
26:00That's a lot of people
26:01Beyond exciting
26:02And steps are going to be performing
26:05I don't know who steps are
26:07Because I was living in America at the time that they had their success
26:10Love it
26:11But I thought it was the Bee Gees
26:12But apparently it's steps
26:14Oh, there's so much for you to learn
26:17I know, I know
26:18I can't wait
26:19You're doing a couple's choice
26:20Yeah
26:21You can do whatever style you want, Jojo
26:23And you're working with Matt Flint on this
26:25Yes
26:26So what style can we expect?
26:27You know what?
26:28With Matt, you must trust movement
26:31But he's gone down the jazz, I would say
26:35Oh
26:36The jazz route
26:37And what he's done is he's playing to Alex's strengths
26:41And it's lovely to work with somebody that does their homework
26:44So in this dance, what I want people to see
26:47Is how far Alex has come along in this competition
26:50And the fact that she can stand alone now
26:52Yes
26:53I call her a dancer
26:54Because she is a non-dancer
26:56But to see her be comfortable in her body that way
26:59I just want people to experience that
27:02And I think Matt has nailed it in terms of conceptualising it
27:05Yeah
27:06Because I think Alex looks phenomenal
27:08Yes
27:09I'm going to be a very big diva
27:11I can't wait to see diva Alex
27:14Wow, that's going to be cool
27:16Janice, this will be your fourth Blackpool in a row on Strictly
27:20Very cool
27:21Thank you
27:22How much does it mean to you to be dancing at the Tower Ballroom?
27:26It means the world to me
27:28You know, as a young boy, this has always been my dream
27:31So when I tell you Fleur, every time I get an opportunity
27:35To jump on the train, go up to Blackpool
27:38For me, it's a thrill
27:41You know what I mean?
27:42And I say to my friends back home that I've shared this dream with
27:45I send them photos
27:46I'm like, look where I am
27:47There's the Winter Gardens
27:48Here's the Tower Ballroom
27:49And it's always just a moment for us
27:52You know what I mean?
27:53Because I have no words
27:57I usually get emotional talking about it
27:59Aww
28:00Yeah, but it's beautiful
28:02Well, good luck up there
28:04It's going to be amazing to watch you
28:05Do you have any tips?
28:07Go with the springy floor
28:09Go with the springy floor
28:10Go with the springy floor
28:11And actually, as soon as you walk in there
28:12And you see the magic of the room
28:14It would just be the most special experience
28:16You're going to love it
28:17And I'm so excited for you
28:19Thank you
28:20I'm going to be joining a very exclusive club, aren't I?
28:22You are
28:23You are enjoying it
28:24Wow
28:25I love it
28:26Good luck
28:27It's Alex and Johannes
28:28Well, that's it for tonight
28:33Thanks to all my guests
28:34Jeanette will be here tomorrow
28:36She'll be joined by Jay McGuinness
28:37And Ashley Roberts
28:38Chatting about their big Blackpool bonanza
28:41Plus, Lavoie and Aliash will be here
28:43And Vicky and Kai will be saying their final goodbyes
28:45Have a lovely evening
28:58.
