00:15:37Oh, yeah!
00:15:42I mean, Lewis, listen to that.
00:15:54That is the sound of 800 people going crazy.
00:15:56Wow.
00:15:57For you.
00:15:58Thank you so much, everyone.
00:15:59I mean, thank you.
00:16:02Even our judges were on their feet.
00:16:06You brought everything to Blackpool.
00:16:08No matter how many times they come here,
00:16:10I cannot get used to how much this floor bounces.
00:16:13It's brilliant.
00:16:14How about that for a start to our weekend, Moksi?
00:16:17What a start.
00:16:19What a beginning.
00:16:23Honestly, this was insane.
00:16:26The energy was insane.
00:16:27Everything was in place.
00:16:29The hair, the fingers, everything.
00:16:31The movement, the energy that you both gave.
00:16:35Absolutely amazing.
00:16:36The synchronization here with the whole group.
00:16:39And let me tell you, there's a word called acceleration.
00:16:43At the end of the dance, when you think this is done,
00:16:46this man's lungs should be hanging here,
00:16:48you put one more energy level up and you just smash it.
00:16:53The roof is off.
00:16:54It's off.
00:16:56The roof is off.
00:16:58The roof is off.
00:17:00I felt it move.
00:17:03Shirley.
00:17:03Well, this is definitely a Blackpool extravaganza for sure.
00:17:08Absolutely.
00:17:10One can see, I mean, you're a fantastic dancer,
00:17:13but to get this kind of synchronicity and this kind of quality
00:17:16takes hours and hours of work.
00:17:18And I know you're probably doing it at home as well as in the studio.
00:17:21The footwork, the arms, like Motsi said,
00:17:24your synchronization, deceleration to acceleration,
00:17:28and then back the other way, zero to hero and hero to zero.
00:17:31It was absolutely extraordinary.
00:17:34Oh, Anton, come on.
00:17:41Wow.
00:17:42Wow.
00:17:43Wow.
00:17:44Wow.
00:17:46Unbelievable.
00:17:50Honestly, unbelievable.
00:17:52There's nothing to say.
00:17:53I haven't written anything down.
00:17:55I've written down here, I wonder if he can sing.
00:17:59You seem to have cracked this dance in malarkey.
00:18:02I don't know what we've been wondering about
00:18:04that for the last 400 years.
00:18:05You've come in four days, I think I do a bit of that.
00:18:08How about, if I did that first move,
00:18:09I think it would take me a fortnight to get off the floor.
00:18:11It was so extraordinary.
00:18:14I am, I am, which is useless in this show, speechless.
00:18:17But you are breathtaking.
00:18:20Yes.
00:18:21Oh.
00:18:22I mean, you've got to be happy with that.
00:18:27I cannot wait to find out what you thought, Craig.
00:18:32Oh, come on.
00:18:34One word, beginning with F.
00:18:37Fab, you are lost.
00:18:50Thank you so much, judges.
00:18:52You couldn't hope for higher praise.
00:18:54I've got high hopes for the scores.
00:18:55Off you go and get them.
00:18:56I have to say, your fellow dancers, Amy, they were like screaming,
00:19:16going, what a start.
00:19:17The Charleston is full on at the best of times.
00:19:19But to do it here, bigger room, bigger audience, extra dancers,
00:19:23how did you find it?
00:19:24I absolutely love that.
00:19:26That was just like crazy and something I'll remember for the rest of my life.
00:19:29But I'm glad I did have the extra dancers,
00:19:31because they just bring something to the room that you can't bring.
00:19:35And, you know, you're always trying to level up
00:19:37and kind of not look like the odd one out.
00:19:39So, yeah, they were fantastic.
00:19:41We've had a great time with them.
00:19:41So, thank you a lot to them.
00:19:42No, absolutely.
00:19:44Katia, just where does this rate on terms of complicated?
00:19:48I don't know.
00:19:49The thing is, it comes all organically.
00:19:51I was literally, I'm not joking, I was just stretching in the morning.
00:19:55You know, minding my own business.
00:19:56Off he goes through my legs.
00:19:58I'm like, well, we're putting that in.
00:20:00So, we may, it will all unfold naturally.
00:20:06Beautiful dance, but we do have some quite sad news.
00:20:08Mission Cope is not complete.
00:20:10Tell me more.
00:20:11It's not complete, and it's so, so good that no one goes home this week,
00:20:15because one of my brothers couldn't come today,
00:20:17because he was watching his daughter in a show.
00:20:19So, we're all for it for next week, so it can come next week.
00:20:22By the way, should we just take a moment for when that was?
00:20:24We should cancel the dance-offs every week.
00:20:27Yeah, okay.
00:20:28Job done.
00:20:29Good luck.
00:20:29The scores are in.
00:20:31Ladies and gentlemen, the judges have their scores.
00:20:34Craig Revelhall.

00:20:51And Anton Bubek.
00:20:53Ten!
00:20:57Thank you!
00:20:59Perfect score.
00:21:01If Lewis and Katya have impressed you,
00:21:03then please vote for them at the end of tonight's show,
00:21:07after all our couples have danced.
00:21:09As a reminder, nobody will leave the competition this weekend,
00:21:13but the judges' scores and your votes will be carried over to next week.

00:21:24or scan the QR code on your screen using your mobile or...
00:21:29Tess Strictly.
00:21:29Tess!
00:21:30Tess!
00:21:30What a start to Blackpool.
00:21:34Now, as you may have already noticed,
00:21:36one thing that's tradition every year here in Blackpool
00:21:39is that our couples are joined by some amazing extra dancers
00:21:42who are here to just help try and give things a bit of a lift.
00:21:45Oh, lovely. See, they're brilliant.
00:21:50Next to them is Balbender and Julian.
00:21:53It's your mom.
00:21:58I have always wanted to dance the Argentine Tango
00:22:02and it happens to fall on Blackpool Week.
00:22:04It just feels like such a milestone.
00:22:07I couldn't be happier.
00:22:11Argentine Tango is about precision and commitment
00:22:15This week, we've gone a step further.
00:22:18Oh, yeah?
00:22:19We have lifts but these are much more difficult
00:22:21and that flips you in the air.
00:22:23I sort of get a little bit concerned that Julian might drop me
00:22:26but it's not him that I'm worried about.
00:22:28It's me. What if I enter it wrong?
00:22:30Ready?
00:22:31All right.
00:22:32Bal has to really be brave and throw herself for us to get these.
00:22:35We've done our training and our next stop is Blackpool.
00:22:42How do you feel? You made it to Blackpool Week.
00:22:44I know.
00:22:45How amazing.
00:22:46It's actually very special.
00:22:48Tell you what though, we did it the hard way, didn't we?
00:22:51Four dancers.
00:22:52I mean, who'd have thought it?
00:22:54It's quite spectacular, isn't it?
00:22:55And yeah, I'm so happy that we get to be a part of it.
00:22:58Growing up on the other side of the world, you always want to come to Blackpool
00:23:01because you know that the greatest dancers have danced on that exact same floor as you.
00:23:05It's such a special thing that I'm just going to hold it for the rest of my life.
00:23:09This cements what Strictly is for me.
00:23:11This is everything I've wanted to do and I'm here.
00:23:15Now, Bal, I have it on good authority that this is the best way to see the Blackpool Tower.
00:23:22Let's do this.
00:23:23Look at that.
00:23:24Best view in Blackpool.
00:23:25This is a bit...
00:23:26Don't look down.
00:23:27Come on, look down.
00:23:28This is actually quite high.
00:23:29Oh my gosh.
00:23:30Go.
00:23:31About a whole week for the adrenaline, right?
00:23:32So there's only one more thing to do.
00:23:33We'll just have to head in there and dance the best Argentine tango we can.
00:23:48Got you.
00:23:49Let's do it.
00:23:53Dancing the Argentine tango.
00:23:55Balbinda Sopra and Julian Payne.
00:24:01When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful.
00:24:14A miracle.
00:24:15Oh, it was beautiful, magical.
00:24:18And all the birds in the trees, well, they were singing so happily.
00:24:24Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me.
00:24:30But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, or responsible, practical.
00:24:41And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, or critical, or intellectual, cynical.
00:24:51There are times when all the world's asleep.
00:25:00The questions run too deep.
00:25:03What's such a simple mind?
00:25:09I said, I heard what you say.
00:25:10I said, I heard what you say.
00:25:11Oh, they'll be calling you a radical.
00:25:12A liberal.
00:25:13Oh, fanatical.
00:25:14Criminal.
00:25:15Won't you please, please tell me what we've loved?
00:25:16Can you hear me?
00:25:17I know it sounds so sad.
00:25:18Won't you help me?
00:25:19Please tell me who I am.
00:25:20Who I am.
00:25:21Who I am.
00:25:22Who I am.
00:25:23Who I am.
00:25:25Who I am.
00:25:27Who I am.
00:25:28Who I am.
00:25:37Who I am.
00:25:42Who I am.
00:25:47Who I am.
00:25:50Who I am.
00:26:10An Argentine Tango in the tower ballroom.
00:26:15Is this a bit of a moment for you?
00:26:17Quite special, I have to say.
00:26:19So special whose lips were so bright
00:26:26And John how is that for you I have to tell you I thought you were right on form in that I loved your intensity
00:26:38I love that way that you danced with Jules, but you were sort of
00:26:44Detached from him and he was dancing trying to and you were like that. I'm not getting involved
00:26:49You were sort of that detachable look and every time he tried you went oh
00:26:55And he tried and here he seemed trying again and you went oh
00:26:59I like it when you play art again
00:27:02I'd love that sense of the dance because that's real
00:27:07Characterization and then you had the other people dancers with you as well
00:27:09And you were involved with them and the boys they're getting involved and you didn't you didn't suddenly get all desperate
00:27:14To dance with someone you just held your own I thought that I think that shows great strength of character and great strength of performance
00:27:21I think this is one of your best dancers
00:27:29Would have liked to have seen smoother weight changes and
00:27:37But all your lovely forward otto's I could see you were working on those because you had a lovely smooth and sweet
00:27:43Passed through of the foot on that and I think this style actually
00:27:47Suits you really really well
00:27:55In my books it says you are our comeback queen. I just have to mention it. This is really
00:28:00I'm dancing and another day where I can learn something from someone else that you come back every time stronger
00:28:13That is what I love this was honestly the opening
00:28:16So good when you were up there you were in the mood you were so clear with your intention you were so defined
00:28:23I absolutely love that. I also love that everybody chuck you around left and right, but you can't you kept your cool?
00:28:31I didn't see you panicking. I just believe so much in you
00:28:35I want to give you a tip just watch for the tiny tiny details the feet the fingers the weight the tone in the body
00:28:42That you can keep it through up until the end because who knows which way this is gonna go, but you keep fighting girl
00:28:48definitely
00:28:55You know four times in the bottom and like Motsi and I just said now you come back stronger and you know just gold
00:29:02I mean you come in you wanted to dance this dance. I could feel you wanted to dance this dance
00:29:08I was also impressed with the
00:29:10Interactiveness with the other dancers you didn't seem to panic at all when you were with the girls or went with the boys and that was really great
00:29:17I do agree with Motsi though a little bit more moving forward tiny little things
00:29:22Make sure your toes are pointed when you do that beautiful lifts that you do in the entries and exits
00:29:27Polish is always in the extremes magic comes from the finish of every single thing that you do but moody
00:29:34atmospheric a pain attention
00:29:36Moody
00:29:37Atmospheric that you had was fabulous. Good work
00:29:46Wonderful comments from the judges so well done. You can go and enjoy the rest of the show now
00:29:51You your face I love when you got those comments you were like, oh, okay. I really loved it
00:30:11This is the dance you were desperate to do. Yeah, did it live up to your expectations?
00:30:15Absolutely more so than anything else. I was like give it to me in week one two three four. I don't mind
00:30:21Yeah, but that it's happened in Blackpool. It's just the stars aligning for me actually, so it's really special
00:30:27Sorry, no, not so you do whatever you need to do tell me about those lifts because they were scary
00:30:34Yeah, but I loved doing them. I think she learned that last one the flip in the air in five minutes. What? Yeah
00:30:41I just spent more time trying to figure out how to your toe, but if I tell her I'm gonna throw you you're gonna flip in the air
00:30:47I'm gonna catch you. I'm gonna put you down. She goes. Yeah, sweet. No problem
00:30:51But you must trust him. Yes, I think I had a little bit of a breakthrough a couple of weeks ago
00:30:55I was like, okay, I'm just gonna go in and play whatever Joel says I'll do
00:30:59And he just comes up with such brilliant choreography and lifts and I love being thrown up in the air and he catches it's fantastic
00:31:05Jules, how was the first time for you in this room?
00:31:08I mean, it's just incredible the room itself the board in itself
00:31:12I've been saying all day the energy it gives is just
00:31:15Magical and to get to share the stage with bow for the first time my first ever time dancing on the floor
00:31:20It was just such a privilege and something. I'll remember for the rest of my life

00:39:38talking to myself i thought hello this could be a nasty incident and you picked it up without any

00:50:36You
00:50:38Thank you so much
00:50:39Oh, I've got the old goose pimples and Shirley on.
00:50:42Well, Carlos, actually, you've got me quite emotional.
00:50:45Here we are in this ballroom, this iconic ballroom,
00:50:47where I've seen many brilliant Paso Dobles.
00:50:49That choreography from you was the...
00:50:52..of the highest...
00:50:54..of the highest competitive quality.
00:50:59Now, last week, you got emotional because you'd been in the studio,
00:51:02you were working on this posture.
00:51:04I've never seen a Paso Doble like that.
00:51:06The drama, the music, the atmosphere.
00:51:10You never wobbled once.
00:51:11You nailed everything like a top-class professional
00:51:14having never danced before.
00:51:16That is epic.
00:51:17It will go down in history.
00:51:20It did not require anything soft.
00:51:24It was not that kind of Paso Doble.
00:51:26You scored on every competitive level with that Paso Doble.
00:51:32I love that.
00:51:34I love that.
00:51:36Oh, Anton!
00:51:38Wow.
00:51:39Oh, wow.
00:51:41Oh, God.
00:51:42I asked, bring your best.
00:51:44When you come to Blackpool, bring your best.
00:51:47It was amazing.
00:51:48This was an absolute tour de force.
00:51:51I thought it was extraordinary.
00:51:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:51:54The most brilliant thing.
00:51:57I mean, I have to tell you, I'd like to give you 25 for that.
00:52:01That was so brilliant.
00:52:03It was everything, drama, the choreography was brilliant.
00:52:07Your execution was amazing.
00:52:09Your timing, your intensity.
00:52:12You, and I hope to say this is going to be the end of your career,
00:52:15but you'll never dance better than that.
00:52:17No-one will dance better than that.
00:52:19You never know.
00:52:20It was extraordinary, brilliant.
00:52:22You are wonderful.
00:52:26Yes, sir.
00:52:27Thank you to our dancers, our dancers and everyone behind us,
00:52:33as well, as part of our team.
00:52:34So they were part of the scoring as well, so great job to them.
00:52:37It was a wonderful performance, you so put those comments from the judges.
00:52:41Unbelievable.
00:52:42And good luck with your scores, darling.
00:52:46Carolyn, Carolyn.
00:52:56Can you believe it?
00:52:57I know.
00:52:58I hope you could hear everyone here, like Vito was like,
00:53:02she never takes the full credit, she's such a team player.
00:53:05You thanking everybody then.
00:53:07Cathy was like, I mean, we're in love with it.
00:53:11Yes.
00:53:11How did you find us?
00:53:12I think I was so blown away by the noise at the end.
00:53:15I was a bit like, did that really happen?
00:53:17And I'd love to do it again, just for fun.
00:53:20No, thanks, Carlos.
00:53:20But, you know, no, we don't have to.
00:53:23Thank you, Luetta.
00:53:24That's been taken off the table.
00:53:26Oh, thank God.
00:53:27But it was so good.
00:53:28Thanks, Claudia.
00:53:28You are the most gentle human being,
00:53:31and I don't mean that in a bad way, but isn't she?
00:53:33Yes, yes, yes.
00:53:34You are so polite.
00:53:35You are so kind to every single person.
00:53:38How do you pull that off?
00:53:40How do you look grumpy?
00:53:41I'd say to him, try and wind me up.
00:53:43And to be fair, people did it when I played.
00:53:44So I said to Carlos, try and wind me up.
00:53:46I'll get angry.
00:53:47I'll get really angry.
00:53:49I'm over it now.
00:53:49I'm calm and I'll sit.
00:53:50Don't worry.
00:53:51I'm all right.
00:53:52Yeah, exactly.
00:53:53Carlos, I know that you love this dance,
00:53:56and you gave Kaz a proper history of the Pasadena.
00:53:58Oh, I did in the room.
00:53:59I couldn't stop talking to her.
00:54:02I mean, dancing Pasadena in this iconic venue.
00:54:05I told her where Pasadena from, where it developed in Spain,
00:54:09from France.
00:54:10That's why a lot of Spanish influence.
00:54:12And the character she had, one day she's cape,
00:54:15another day she's a bull, another day she's a Spanish lady,
00:54:18another day she's Karen Carney.
00:54:19Here I am, where the four characters smashed it.
00:54:23And you wonder where the drama came from.

00:55:21Sure, head over to our socials where you'll be able to find everything that's been going on during our staycation
00:55:27This year including I imagine all of us doing that passo in the bar later
00:55:32I'm using the details on your I don't know how to do it on your screen now
00:55:38Amazing up next it is Alex and Johannes, but before we see them dance. I have two more strictly legends with me Leighton Williams
00:55:49Leighton it's been two years since you performed in Blackpool. How's it feel to be back here?
00:55:54Oh, it does feel quite weird to be back, but it's so nice to not be judged from being honest
00:55:59I don't want another nine from Craig. Do you know I'm saying I'm here for a good time
00:56:03I'm here to shake it and it's such an honor to be back. So thank you for having me
00:56:06We can't wait for you to shake it. Thank you. Jay you won the show
00:56:11We are approaching the last few weeks of the competition now. So what's your advice for our celebrities?
00:56:16Well ordinarily I would say you've done all the hard work
00:56:19So just go and enjoy it, but I know they're going to be facing new challenges new formats
00:56:23So I think with that in mind be malleable breathe listen to the music dance
00:56:37You're doing a quick step you are reunited with Nikita. I'm excited. I'm so excited
00:56:42I feel so lucky that he's done the competition so we can dance together
00:56:45Amber, thank you for letting me lend in for five minutes. I might be a little heavier than Amber
00:56:50But you know I'll do my thing not her doing the flips tonight. I'm like girl leave me to the flips
00:56:54You know what I'm saying? But no, she's absolutely killing it. I'm so proud of them. So yeah, I can't wait to dance with him again
00:56:59Oh, I can't wait to see you together
00:57:01And Jay you are recreating your iconic Pulp Fiction Jive
00:57:06I mean, I just have to keep reminding myself how lucky you are to ever even do this show
00:57:16So I think we all feel really lucky to be invited back and if
00:57:20Hypothetically there were a strictly all-stars would you want to come back one more time for the road?
00:57:26Would you
00:57:36Looking forward to seeing you both on the dance floor tomorrow. Thank you very much now performing on the spring floor
00:57:41It is Alex and Johannes and in preparation for a couple's choice
00:57:46Alex has been reflecting on a life career and strictly adventure so far
00:57:50This week I'm doing couples choice in Blackpool
00:57:57Cha-cha beautiful
00:57:59When I was little the first thing I wanted to be obviously was a princess then a barrister
00:58:05Then I realized I just wanted to wear the costume. Maybe I actually want to be an actor
00:58:10ER came calling and it changed my life. It really was a family
00:58:17I stayed for 22 years
00:58:19Los Angeles and ER
00:58:21I've been a colossal definitive part of her life and to leave them behind was not straightforward. It wasn't easy
00:58:27Welcome to the breakfast club
00:58:30The major factors in coming back
00:58:37My daughter was born in America. I had finished ER
00:58:42I had met my husband Jonathan
00:58:44I'd started commuting to do Doctor Who
00:58:47And Jonathan was doing a very long commute to LA
00:58:49I was doing a very long commute to LA
00:58:50And there's a point at which you just go we need to be together
00:58:54Jonathan is just the most incredible human being. He gets me in a way that nobody else really has. He writes me poetry
00:59:05And he also will learn a poem and then just recite it to me
00:59:11You remember from our wedding
00:59:12Oh my gosh
00:59:13It had become a fairy girl with blossoms in her golden hair
00:59:17Who called me by her name
00:59:20Then ran and faded through the brightening air
00:59:23I'm insanely proud of her and it's extraordinary to me to think that only a year ago Alex was really not well
00:59:37I was diagnosed with a uterine cancer
00:59:42I had to go in and have a full hysterectomy
00:59:46Then they found out that the cancer had moved
00:59:50I had to have radiotherapy
00:59:52So coming off the back of that
00:59:54Getting the all clear
00:59:56I decided that I would do strictly
00:59:58When I watch her dance I think, you know, thank you for being so brave
01:00:06Dancing with you
01:00:07Yeah
01:00:08It's just an incredible gift that I will take with me till the end of my days
01:00:13I think what makes Alex special is her love for people and life
01:00:19There's never been anybody like you, babe
01:00:23So in this couple's choice, I would love people to connect with my joy
01:00:33I would love people to also sort of feel life is worth celebrating
01:00:40Dancing their couple's choice
01:00:46Alex Kingston and Johannes Randolph
01:00:48I love you
01:00:50Thank you
01:01:02Time for sharing your name
01:01:05I love you
01:01:07You take it all when you feel joy
01:01:08I love you
01:01:08You take it all when you feel joy
01:01:10I love you
01:01:11I love you
01:01:13You take it all when you feel good
01:01:14I love you
01:01:15I love you
01:01:16His face is free
01:01:18Maybe next time you shall hide
01:01:22They say the next big thing is here
01:01:25That the revolution's near
01:01:28But to me it seems quite clear
01:01:32That it's all just a little bit of history repeating
01:01:36Look at me
01:01:39I'm the driver queen
01:01:42If that's your thing
01:01:45I can even do reality
01:01:51My little white lines tell the story
01:02:05I see it all
01:02:10It has another glory
01:02:13Oh, just a little bit of history repeating
01:02:18Come on, take it easy
01:02:22I'm the driver queen
01:02:25Can't touch your feet
01:02:29Come on, take it easy
01:02:32I'm the fantasy
01:02:36This piece is free
01:02:39Come on, take it easy
01:02:43Come on, take it easy
01:02:45Come on, take it easy
01:02:47Oh, Alex, darling
01:03:03Absolutely brilliant
01:03:06You were holding that floor
01:03:07And that routine
01:03:08Your name in lights
01:03:10I hope it felt as good as it looked
01:03:12Yes, I don't like listening to the VTs
01:03:15They put me off
01:03:16Oh, do they?
01:03:17I'm so sorry about that
01:03:18Yes, so it's sort of
01:03:20I just had to go
01:03:20La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
01:03:21Yeah, it was quite emotional
01:03:23But you did say you wanted to celebrate life
01:03:25Absolutely
01:03:26With this routine
01:03:27How did she do, Shirley?
01:03:28A celebrated life for sure here at the Taz
01:03:30Yeah, for sure
01:03:31I mean, I sit here
01:03:34And what I see is that elegant, expressive lady
01:03:37Who added all sorts of flicks and kicks going over
01:03:39Good for you, that was amazing
01:03:41With that sass of sassy
01:03:43We were saying it's got this sassy feeling going too
01:03:45But all the time everybody's tumbling and going and kicking and doing
01:03:49There's you just doing your graceful bit
01:03:52Being where you need to be
01:03:54On those feet, I enjoyed it immensely
01:03:58Well done
01:03:59Thank you
01:03:59Thank you
01:04:00Thank you
01:04:00And done
01:04:02Oh, this is
01:04:03This is right up my street

01:04:09There I am
01:04:09Surrounded by fabulousness
01:04:10I'm going to walk down the stairs

01:04:12I'm going to give you some of that
01:04:13I'm going to go for them
01:04:14I'm going to be swept up
01:04:15I'm going to be put down
01:04:16I'm going to go across there
01:04:17I love
01:04:18This is so stylish and sophisticated
01:04:20It's so you
01:04:21And it's just
01:04:22I'm so glad it's a couple's choice
01:04:23Because it
01:04:24This is you

01:04:31Thank you
01:04:32Thank you
01:04:33Great
01:04:35In
01:04:37You had little stop moments
01:04:39Which I'm calling highlights
01:04:40You know where one freezes the body
01:04:42And then melts into the next move
01:04:44They could have had
01:04:45A little bit more definition
01:04:47I thought
01:04:47Your timing got completely out
01:04:51On one little section there
01:04:53Also there was a nasty little
01:04:55Awkward underarm turn
01:04:57That happened
01:04:58But you know what I love
01:05:00I loved the sultry temptress
01:05:03I loved that whole story
01:05:05You had
01:05:05I felt like you really
01:05:07Held your own
01:05:09Completely in this dance
01:05:10And I think
01:05:11You know
01:05:12I just absolutely loved it
01:05:13Because of pure theatre darling

01:05:25And opening up for us
01:05:27I thought you were slick
01:05:28I thought it was sultry
01:05:30I thought it was sensational
01:05:32I thought this is just the dance for you
01:05:35It was so tight
01:05:37And every time you gave it the attitude
01:05:39And the right type of tempo for the dance
01:05:42The mood for the dance
01:05:43This was Alex

01:12:14Makes me look like I'm free
01:12:16This is such a rock
01:12:18This body, that's everybody
01:12:21I'm gonna do the dance now
01:12:23I'm gonna do the dance now
01:12:25I'm gonna do the dance now
01:12:27I'm gonna do the dance now
01:12:37Well done!
01:12:44Oh, yes please!
01:12:49I'm a king!
01:12:56George Clarke, where did that come from?
01:12:59I don't know, I mean, I usually don't say a lot as is
01:13:01But I've physically been capable to now
01:13:03It was incredible!
01:13:05Where have you been hiding those hips?
01:13:07I don't know
01:13:08Well, did you enjoy that?
01:13:09Wow! Wow!
01:13:10Anton, I'm turning into...
01:13:12Wow!
01:13:13It was wild!
01:13:15It was wild!
01:13:16It was wild!
01:13:17When we started the night
01:13:18I said, Lewis
01:13:19This is how you open a black pool
01:13:21And now I'm saying, George
01:13:22This is how you sometimes have
01:13:29I love that
01:13:30Oh my god
01:13:31Thank you
01:13:32Thank you
01:13:33Wow
01:13:34I love it when you're blown away
01:13:35Shirley
01:13:36A new day
01:13:37A new George
01:13:38With a fantastic vibe
01:13:40I mean, I wasn't expecting that from you
01:13:43I really wasn't
01:13:44I mean, every week we've asked you to bring your personality
01:13:46A little bit more
01:13:47What I loved is you were front and centre on your own
01:13:50Nobody
01:13:51You had to keep everybody else on time
01:13:54You did it immaculately
01:13:55You fitted in, you made no mistakes
01:13:57I love the way you did the lift and then put it very gently down into the splits
01:14:01That takes care and guidance and that's something from somebody who's a high level dancer
01:14:08You know, George
01:14:09Your sidesteps
01:14:10Your rhythm
01:14:11Your connection with your partner
01:14:13I thought that's your best dance so far
01:14:15By far
01:14:16You are a star
01:14:17And you are listening
01:14:18And I think
01:14:19You're a humble warrior
01:14:20With that fight inside your belly
01:14:21And I think
01:14:22You want to make that final
01:14:23I feel it
01:14:24I feel it
01:14:25Yeah
01:14:26She feels it
01:14:27Thank you
01:14:28She feels it
01:14:29I love the humble warrior
01:14:30Oh
01:14:31George
01:14:32Wow
01:14:33Wow
01:14:34I love
01:14:36I love
01:14:37This
01:14:38This was so good
01:14:39This was so good
01:14:40This was
01:14:41This was Alexis

01:14:43This is my first time at Blackpool
01:14:44You better not mess this up for me
01:14:46And
01:14:47I'm going to give it all
01:14:48And you better follow
01:14:49He's gone
01:14:50Fine
01:14:51Alright, do what you like
01:14:52You gave it the Stalza face
01:14:53You went
01:14:54I did
01:14:55I saw that face
01:14:57He was giving it all that
01:14:58Ooh

01:15:00Ooh

01:15:05This
01:15:06Has been
01:15:07A magical
01:15:08I don't know if I've experienced a better Blackpool than this
01:15:11Yes
01:15:12Cherry on the cake
01:15:14Cherry on the cake
01:15:15Wonderful
01:15:16I'll ask your job tonight Craig
01:15:18Be nice
01:15:19Uh
01:15:20Well
01:15:21I thought the whole base of the salsa was danced a little bit wide
01:15:25For my personal liking
01:15:27They don't agree with them
01:15:29But you know your hips were swinging darling
01:15:32Those lifts were absolutely incredible
01:15:35I loved all the armography
01:15:37You are
01:15:38As they say
01:15:39The true star

01:16:07You were like what?
01:16:08To me?
01:16:09Yeah I'm still sort of trying to come to terms with what's just happened
01:16:11I
01:16:12You have never seen him this happy have you?
01:16:14Oh my god
01:16:15I mean he's a happy guy but doing the salsa he was suddenly like oh hello
01:16:19And all throughout this week like I felt there's this energy shift there's this attitude shift and he just had this fire
01:16:26And just it was so cute after we would do like the dance right you just look at me just like
01:16:31And it was just the best thing and it's just so fun to see you enjoy like that and put your personality
01:16:38Like I feel like he put George into that
01:16:40Yes
01:16:41I can't run this for the first eight weeks
01:16:42No no no
01:16:43You're always
01:16:44You're looking at me
01:16:45How did you find being lifted the extra dancers challenging or charming?
01:16:50I was terrified I think
01:16:52I
01:16:53He went white on the first time
01:16:54Yeah in the end it was really fun but
