00:00This is Blackpool.
00:17Strictly brings magic to Blackpool.
00:19It does.
00:20Getting to Blackpool just feels like such an achievement.
00:22Everything in the Strictly calendar gears up to this moment.
00:25I'm quite nervous but I'm sure when I see Carlos and the music kicks in I'll be alright.
00:29It's something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
00:32Just to have this one chance to...
00:37Everything feels a little bit elevated.
00:40I don't know if they've put something in my shoes or if that's just Blackpool.
00:43I feel nervous.
00:44Let's rock the tower.
00:46Three, two, one.
00:48Hello Blackpool!
00:52La Voix has very sadly had to withdraw from the competition.
00:56Listen up everyone because we have an announcement.
01:00We can reveal no one will be leaving Strictly this weekend.
01:13You are a star and I think you want to make that final.
01:16I feel it.
01:17I feel it.
01:18One, two!
01:21I thought it was sultry.
01:23I thought it was sensational.
01:24Wonderful.
01:25Thank you so much.
01:27That is epic.
01:28It will go down in history.
01:31Five, two, one, one.
01:34Two!
01:39The pressure was off.
01:40I feel like everyone just went out there and had the most fun.
01:44It's nice to not have a dampener at the end of it
01:46so we could sort of leave with a happy feeling.
01:49Yeah.
01:50I saw La Voix though.
01:51Yeah.
01:52And then I was like, oh, my heart.
01:53Because of me, no one goes home.
01:54I know.
01:57My real good feeling.
01:59Five, four!
02:00Woo!
02:25One, two, three!
02:26Well, I heard about the fellow you've been dancing with
02:29All over the neighborhood
02:31So why didn't you ask me, baby
02:34Didn't you think I'd come
02:37Well, I know that I'm going to do what I say
02:40Sing a little thing tonight
02:43Well, if that's what you want, I think
02:46I'm going to show you how to do it by
02:49Do it by
02:50Do it by

03:45Hey! Hey!
03:51Hey!
03:52Hey!
04:15If you don't do, you don't know where to go to
04:40Why don't you go get back and sit
04:42Puttin' on the wrist
04:45Different times, where it is
04:48Pants and stripes, but away it's not that fit
04:52Puttin' on the wrist
04:54Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
04:59Tryin' hard to be like Eric Cooper
05:04Super duper, come let's bitch

05:25ми
07:25From the Tower Ballroom, this is Strictly Come Dancing.
07:41Please welcome, Tess Daly, and Claudia Winkleman.
07:48We are back in the Tower Ballroom for part two of our Blackpool special.
08:06Thank you so much to Jason Gilkinson, our professional dancers and our returning stars for that incredible opening to the show.
08:14Nobody is going home tonight.
08:16The judges' scores and the public votes will be carried over and combined with next week's judges' scores and public votes.
08:22Then there will be a dance-off.
08:24Very soon, we'll be speaking to all of our couples.
08:26Lewis Capaldi is in the ballroom.
08:30And we say goodbye to the wonderful Le Bois.
08:33But first, it was raining tens on Saturday.
08:36Let's take a look at how everything unfolded on our big night in Deathly.
08:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
08:42What an extravaganza of a show here at the Tower Ballroom.
08:52I couldn't agree more, Shirley.
08:54I mean, that was just incredible.
08:58Wow is the word of the night.
09:00Yes.
09:01At the top of the leaderboard, we have Lewis and Katia.
09:05For me, that was the standout dance of the evening.
09:08I could not bolt it.
09:10CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
09:11We just opened Blackpool.
09:13We got a 40.
09:15It couldn't have went any better.
09:17I am on cloud nine.
09:18And hot on their heels are Karen and Carlos.
09:21And George and Alexis.
09:25Karen, that Paso doble, I had goosebumps.
09:2839, at Blackpool, doing the Paso.
09:32That will be with me forever.
09:36George, closing the show was absolutely unbelievable.
09:40Blackpool has just elevated everything.
09:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
09:44You got three.
09:45I did, yeah.
09:46Your hips were doing something.
09:50In the middle of the leaderboard, we have Amber and Nikita and Alex and Johanna.
09:54I love this dance so much.
09:57I really enjoyed dancing it.
09:58I thought she did rather remarkably well.
10:00It was sensual, that sass here and there.
10:04Let's do another one sometime.
10:05I don't know.
10:08I thought Amber's quickstep was a Blackpool quickstep.
10:11She needed this space.
10:12Also some fantastic footwork.
10:14She's really starting to pay attention to small details.
10:17The energy in the room.
10:20I have never felt a feeling like it before.
10:22I want to bottle that and remember it forever.
10:26On the other end of the leaderboard, we have Valvinda and Julian.
10:30Valvinda, our comeback queen.
10:32I mean, four dance-off and every single time coming back stronger, never giving up.
10:37Nothing can hinder Valvinda.
10:40The Argentine tango at Blackpool.
10:43That is a very special dream that has come true for me tonight.
10:47But my heart could burst.
10:49It's brilliant.
10:51None of us have the deciding vote tonight.
10:54So we can relax a little bit, darling.
10:56Because our scores will be carried over from this week to next week.
11:00And then the pressure is really on.
11:03Because the quarterfinals are looming.
11:07Everybody loves the sunshine.
11:11The scores have been carried over to next week.
11:14They are still super important.
11:18I never take anything for granted.
11:19Next week will think about what comes next week.
11:22We have another week to experience Strictly Come Dancing.
11:26It's epic.
11:27The scores are very close together.
11:29I'm sure they will be next week.
11:31The public's vote is hugely important now.
11:34The competition is hotting up.
11:36And we just have to keep bringing it week after week after week.
11:45We are here with six such happy couples.
11:49Isn't it amazing?
11:51I think, Nikita, I've got to ask you that moment when Tess announced no dance-off.
11:55And you all, we thought you'd be happy.
11:58You just jumped up.
11:59I love that reaction.
12:01What did it feel like?
12:02To be honest, Claude, I didn't understand what Tess said.
12:07I was so confused.
12:08Sorry.
12:09Yeah, I was so confused, Tess.
12:11And then I asked him what is happening.
12:13And she told me we are through.
12:14I'm like, how?
12:15What did we do?
12:16We didn't even know.
12:17Yeah, no, just the biggest elation ever.
12:20I mean, it's just to be in Blackpool, especially to go through.
12:24And, you know, it's just that relief.
12:26It's just a relief.
12:27And I think everybody performed their best because nobody had that stress.
12:31Everybody just gave their best and was just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
12:34Loved it.
12:35Good.
12:35Amber, tell me what it's been like, just the reception in Blackpool.
12:40Because we're addicted to it.
12:41Oh, I just love the world.
12:42Honestly, the people of Blackpool have welcomed us so much.
12:48We've had people standing outside of our hotel.
12:51Well, ten selfies I got asked for yesterday.
12:54That's a record.
12:55I took my mum and I said, Mum, I've made it.
12:58But it's been amazing.
13:00It's to experience Strictly Come Dancing's Blackpool iconic week.
13:05I mean, it's a dream come true for all of us.
13:08It's amazing.
13:08I'm sure.
13:09Karen, you scored 3-10 this week.
13:13Your highest score yet.
13:19So well-deserved.
13:20Are you still pinching yourself?
13:21Yeah, I can't believe it, honestly.
13:23It was such an amazing crowd, amazing venue.
13:26Dancing with this guy, I love dancing with it.
13:28And then the score was just topped it, so it was wicked.
13:31It's so good.
13:31Carlos, how proud are you of Karen?
13:33I mean, I couldn't say more to perform something like that
13:37in this magical place.
13:39I'm really, really, I'm really, really emotional.
13:42Thank you for that.
13:43Aww.
13:47We've got couple's choice next week.
13:49We do.
13:50You are waiting for that.
13:52What can we expect?
13:54I don't know.
13:57We've been having, like, disagreements, I'd say,
14:00about what we wanted to do.
14:02Because I'm trying to telling her,
14:03we do a fussy, fussy, fussy, fussy, fussy.
14:05We do a jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz.
14:07We do a ballet, ballet, ballet, ballet, ballet.
14:09We do a commercial.
14:10Ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:10She said, Carlos, all I want to be is free.
14:13Yeah.
14:13Yes.
14:14Well, there you go.
14:15No rules in the couple's choice.
14:17We cannot wait to watch it.
14:19Congratulations.
14:20George, I've got a fact for you.
14:22Nobody has ever got a 10 for a salsa in Blackpool.
14:27In Street League.
14:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
14:29And you got three.
14:31Oh, my God.
14:32Oh, my God.
14:33You got three.
14:35You broke science.
14:37How do you feel about it?
14:38I don't know.
14:39I don't feel like I deserve to be in a history book.
14:41That feels wrong.
14:42Aw.
14:42You do, George.
14:43No, I'm still sort of trying to come to terms with the fact
14:46that I got, like, one 10, let alone three.
14:49That's mental.
14:51Well, congratulations.
14:53Alexis, how was your first Strictly Blackpool?
14:55It's been electric.
14:58I am just in a state of awe constantly.
15:01Last time I was in Blackpool was when I was younger and competing,
15:04and it's a full circle moment for sure, and it's just so special.
15:08And just the night, and I'm just speechless.
15:10It's insane.
15:12Well, you did the salsa.
15:14Can you please tell us what dance we're doing and to what song next week?
15:18Yes.
15:19We are doing a quick step to this.
15:21I get a kick.
15:23Oh!
15:24Oh!
15:26So classy.
15:29How do you feel about that, George?
15:31I'll be frank.
15:32LAUGHTER
15:37Lewis, you have now scored a total of ten 10s.
15:42APPLAUSE
15:44Yeah, what about that?
15:47And your second perfect score was on Saturday.
15:51I take it you're now a fan of Blackpool.
15:53I love Blackpool.
15:55I think I might have to move here.
15:57Oh, it's fantastic.
15:58I mean, it's been brilliant being in Blackpool,
16:00and to be in the ballroom, you know, I've never felt anything like it.
16:04It's just absolutely wild, the sort of, the support from everyone in the audience,
16:09but as well as the surrounding, it's just super special.
16:12Katia, you two have had such a journey together,
16:14but the dynamic changed a little bit this week, didn't it?
16:17Yeah, but it feels like they are our dance partners.
16:20You know, they're not contestants or students.
16:23They've entered this ballroom in a different capacity as our dance partners,
16:28and it really, really felt like it.
16:31So, you and us, I don't know.
16:34Thank you very much.
16:35I've never had one.
16:37LAUGHTER
16:38Can we have a conversation about your dog, Alex?
16:40Because you know I'm in love with him.
16:42He's called Wolfie.
16:43He's got involved in Strictly.
16:45He really has got involved in Strictly.
16:47He's got a couple of outfits now.
16:50He has a ballroom number, and he also has a Latin number that he likes to wear.
16:56We have a photo of him.
16:58This is when he's in his Latin era.
17:00Yes.
17:01Let's have a look at this.
17:02LAUGHTER
17:04The thing is, he has a neck that I want to try and achieve when I'm dancing.
17:12Whenever I'm dancing with Jojo, if we're doing ballroom or something,
17:15he says, no, extend your neck, long neck.
17:17My dog just does it naturally.
17:19Yeah.
17:20We should all be more wolfy.
17:22What are you doing this week and to what song do you do?
17:25We are doing a cha-cha-cha satu this.
17:41Good girl.
17:42Very good tune.
17:43How are you feeling about the cha-cha?
17:44Oh, I'm super excited.
17:45Oh, yeah, yeah.
17:46Super.
17:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:48Cha-cha-cha.
17:49Good girl!
17:50I have everything in threes. We cannot wait to see it. Thank you.
17:54Balvinda, on Saturday night, you did an Argentine tango
17:58in the Tower Ballroom.
18:00What I believe there is one other thing on your Blackpool bucket list.
18:04Is that right? Yes. What is it?
18:07A cream tea at the Tower.
18:09Cream tea? I can sniff a cream tea out anywhere.
18:12Can you? I wouldn't let you go home without one.
18:15Here we go.
18:17APPLAUSE
18:20I am so with you.
18:23We've only been out for 12 hours.
18:25That's amazing. Delicious.
18:28Does anybody want some?
18:30Scone. Scone.
18:32If you're at norm, it's the scone.
18:35Julian, it's week ten next week.
18:37What are you dancing to?
18:40We are dancing the jive to this.
18:47Ah!
18:48I'm going to get right back to moving.
18:51Oh!
18:53Oh, my God.
18:55Oh, well, how are you feeling about the jive?
18:58I don't know, to be honest with you. It's fast, isn't it?
19:00It is very fast.
19:02Yeah, yeah, we're off to a good start.
19:04Excellent.
19:05We're off to a big start.
19:06I know the words.
19:07We can't wait.
19:08You're going to be fantastic.
19:09Now, next week, I'm just going to say this out loud, the competition is ramping up.
19:13Strictly has a brand new challenge.
19:16Everyone hold hands.
19:17Have a look at this.
19:18Next week, for the first time, our celebs face the instant dance.
19:29Picking a dance style at random to perform on the spot.
19:34And at this crucial point in the competition, it's a chance to gain extra marks and turn the leaderboard on its head.
19:44It's the ultimate test of how much they have learned and how in tune they are with their dance partner.
19:51And with a place in the quarter-final at stake, the spotlight will be on them more than ever.
20:04That is instant dance.
20:07And I should explain, you have selected your envelopes, you have signed your envelopes.
20:12You have no idea what dance you are going to get.
20:16It's going to be fantastic.
20:17Don't make that face.
20:18Amber, how are you feeling?
20:19Is it going to be fantastic?
20:21It's going to be great.
20:22It's going to be a little drama time.
20:23It's chaotic.
20:24We love chaos.
20:25Nikita, you're into it, aren't you?
20:28I am.
20:29Imagine live television, you don't know the dance, you don't know the costume, you don't know the song, you know nothing.
20:36And the best part, nobody can stop you.
20:40When you say it like that, it's got to be so much fun.
20:44George, you're talking about choosing the envelope, but very excited about the challenge.
20:48I think it will just be a laugh.
20:49I mean, I know it, it will go awfully, but either it goes awfully and I'm upset about it, I'm having a good time.
20:56So I'll just try and smile.
20:58I'll just point at her the whole time and go.
21:03Do that.
21:04Karen, you have concerns about Carlos, don't you, during your dance?
21:08What?
21:09Why?
21:10Do share.
21:11It's Carlos.
21:12Look, I never know what he's doing at the best of days and then adding what you explain there, Nikita.
21:17I'm just going to go, go on Carlos, do your thing and I just clap.
21:20I mean, Carlos, can you put Karen's mind at ease?
21:24I mean, it's instant dance.
21:25Yes.
21:26My mind will be instant too.
21:27Oh, gosh.
21:28Oh, my gosh.
21:29Oh, my gosh.
21:30Oh, my gosh.
21:31Oh, my gosh.
21:35Now, Lewis, as well as not knowing what you're dancing or what music you're dancing to, you also don't know what you'll be wearing.
21:42And you're a little bit worried about what Katya might pick to wear, I've heard.
21:46I am.
21:47I absolutely am.
21:48I think, you know, she's quite rogue in the dress sense.
21:51And she might, I think you might put, like, no, I think you'll, like, layer some jeans with a skirt.
21:56With a skirt. I think you'll end about how about five different layers
22:06What if the envelope I picked is for example the Viennese waltz that I did seven weeks ago and I I mean a
22:14Fleckle I can't remember how to fleckle
22:16I
22:18I
22:20Millions of people live on TV. I'm yes. I am quietly terrified
22:26I really am actually Jojo. It is scary for the celebs, but this is normal for pros
22:31It's quite normal for professionals because that's what that's our world is built like that you go to the competition
22:36You don't know what music is going to be played strictly is lush for that reason because you are prepared
22:41But this is more a real setting isn't it what we do in our world
22:46They play the music and you dance and we have prepared choreography. We just have to remember what it is
22:53When you talk to me about that, so will you prepare 40 seconds of dancing this week as well as learning a whole new dance?
23:00Absolutely, that's the pressure
23:06My darling just look into my eyes
23:11At least we know Balbinder that it is a dance that you've already performed in the competition. Does that give you a little bit more confidence?
23:18I mean if you say so
23:20I'm not so sure
23:22We'll just throw out some steps and see what happens Julian. How can the celebs prepare for an instant dance?
23:28Just go all in because like you know Johanna said this is kind of like a bit more of a glimpse into you know Latin environment and at its core
23:35Latin environment is improvised and it's just two people having a conversation and having a dance together
23:39And I actually think that these 40 seconds will probably be some of the most memorable 40 seconds of the series
23:46It could be for great reasons
23:51Genuinely think it's it's gonna be it's gonna be magical
23:57Don't underestimate what you know
23:59It's not twirling. Yeah now for some music. Please welcome this sensational
24:10No, it's Capaldi
24:12Eyes of emerald in white, more precious than gold
24:24Hands as soft as the sand, but harder to hold
24:32Tonight could be the last time your heart beating mine
24:40Forever this close
24:42Forever this close
24:44But life can cut like a knife
24:46That's just how it goes
24:48That's just how it goes
24:50Till the day I die
24:54I will dream of you
24:58In a million lives
25:00You're the one I choose
25:04You're the one I choose
25:10I'll love you
25:12Till my last breath
25:14You're gone by
25:16Something in the heavens
25:18Tells me that we'll be together again
25:20You're gone by
25:22Something in the heavens
25:24Tells me that we'll be together again
25:26I'll see you
25:30All around the night
25:34You're gone by
25:38Something in the heavens
25:40Tells me that we'll be together again
25:42Sounds of gathering clouds
25:48Are all that I hear
25:50Sounds of gathering clouds
25:52Are all that I hear
25:54Just days of permanent grave

27:44Oh
27:46Oh
27:48Diane now welcome to the fairground it's the judges
28:02Amazing thank you so much first of all can we just have a conversation about this?
28:07There was a 40 there were 10 tens and
28:11Everybody up their scores. What is in the air here? What happened? Magic Charlie?
28:16Magic now I think what's pressure on absolutely every contestant to do their absolute best
28:22Yes, and plus they've got a sprung floor which we love and I'm not just saying this a wonderful audience a fantastic
28:34Exciting so everyone does their best and plus they did find out that they had a buy-through darling
28:40Yeah, so that does make the pressure off which is great
28:42They were fantastic. They really did well. There were there is always blackpool different energy
28:48But they were just honestly, I mean surely you said it before it feels like
28:53Dance is the highlight everybody honestly gave so much of themselves
28:57So it's beautiful at the beginning of the series when everybody comes in they're all excited to reach this event
29:03Yes at the tower ballroom and I think everybody
29:06Accelerated and did the very very best and it's just been wonderful. We've never experienced that have we no
29:11I mean, we've always had great blackpools, but this seems something like you said that was in the air
29:15Absolutely, they're going to be delighted on Monday morning when they get back into the studio and start rehearsing again for next week
29:22They're going to be delighted with this week's performance. Yes, because they were terrific performances
29:27It's such a good point
29:29Shelly I'd love to talk to you about Lewis because both you and what she said and this is so true that somehow
29:34Accelerated even towards the end when anybody else would be like
29:39Well, it comes into the heading of dynamics
29:41It's when you can change different energies
29:43So we started at the very very beginning with power and he was going and he was shifting but he never decelerated did he he went and
29:51Accelerated towards the end very rare when you're watching the performance because normally it dwindles at the end and he didn't
29:57Okay, thank you so much Craig. I'd love to ask you about Val Vindic
30:01It was such a great dance wasn't it? Well, it was it was a dance that really suited her
30:05She obviously looked like she was into it enjoyed it. It was one that she was loving so she paid more attention to it
30:12I think you know everything has improved. She was very much in the middle of the road for me
30:17I was giving him sevens week after week after week and I didn't see that much improvement and
30:23I noticed in this dance that she improved, you know, and it was really lovely to see
30:28I'm telling I'd love to ask you about George. He got the retains
30:33That's perfect timing isn't it?
30:35This is exactly how you want it to go you want to show an improvement and we've all been asking for the sort of the same thing
30:44Really? We want more of you. We want you to give it more
30:47We want you to sell it more but when you reach this new level it takes something like this sometimes the blackball you get to that next level
30:54Then you go. Ah, I know what you're talking about. I understand what you're talking about now. Thank you so much
31:01Motsy, I love what you said to Kaz and you said you didn't have a paddle high enough. Yeah, could we just remind ourselves that paso was
31:10Extraordinary it was a moment
31:11I mean, you know
31:12The thing is what you want at the end of the day
31:14Somebody's to come on the dance floor and you feel like there is absolutely nothing left. She gave us
31:20absolutely this moment this music she just put her heart on the dance floor and I just
31:27Enjoyed it because she's so authentic. She's so real and she you know those spins in there
31:33They were so difficult that she was going and pushing and this whole music and everything just felt unbelievable
31:39I mean we had goose bumps from the word goal with true. We're like
31:43Can you believe this because it was it was fantastic. It was phenomenal. So I only have one word to say yes
31:49Craig
31:51I knew this was coming. What's the matter with you?
31:54I loved it. She dances her in her own way actually and you know, we're all different opinions
32:01I felt like it was her arms and her attack was all on one level for me
32:07I would have liked to seen just a little bit more flair in the Spanish port de bras
32:12Oh
32:14Everyone inhale and exhale. Listen when she's doing it in the final darling
32:22Now judges next week it is instant dance before we discuss let's have a look at this
32:33Today we will be picking what dance style we will be doing for the instant dance
32:38I'm quite nervous going into this just because I have no control over anything right now, right?
32:45We've made it to this point here. We go instant dance selection. I don't want to do it. I would like a Viennese waltz
32:52That's fresh on the brain. I don't want the cha cha cha because we were in the dance-off. I hope it's not a pass. Oh, please give us a jive
33:00Wait
33:01What?
33:03Oh goodness sake. Are you ready? Go you got this come on. Let me see
33:10Orange orange
33:13Scary that feels like the cha cha that's it. Let's go sign our names
33:20We are literally signing up our fate right now. Oh, no
33:25I'll meet you on the dance floor when we open this envelope
33:29The fate is sealed
33:31I
33:34Don't know how I feel
33:36Improvising is one of the hardest things you can do as a professional dancer. It's going to be difficult
33:41We don't know the music. We don't know the style
33:44I've not even thought of the music
33:46I don't remember anything. I don't even remember last week's dance. You literally can't prepare you just gotta not panic and I will panic
33:53I
34:03How does it play out? Well, it's really exciting the question is have they really learned to dance?
34:09Have they understood what they're doing? Have they understood the character of the dance?
34:13Have they learned their basic steps and you have to trust your partner?
34:17So have they built those trustful partnerships where you can like lead and follow and let go?
34:23I mean, I've seen people have blackouts and just like stand there
34:26But I've seen some magical moments where I want to see that
34:31No
34:33What I love is anything can happen
34:35Well, that's true, but we dance in life, don't we?
34:38Yeah, you know you get up and at a disco darling you're not choreographed are you get up and dance with someone so
34:44No, no
34:46Hold on a second
34:48Hold on a second. Yeah, but you don't do a cha-cha in a disco
34:51No, I don't go to a disco
34:53But what I mean
34:55That's something else. I mean you're dancing with a partner in front of people watching
35:00They're gonna get a dance that they have done in the past. Yes, they are. It's going to be whether they can remember it
35:06So to the music and not short noticed on a minute or so they've got to pick the costume
35:11Pick the dance the music they will have never heard then they've got to trust their own judgment and can they follow their partner?
35:17So that's going to be absolute chaos and we're all here for it. Yeah
35:24Why not let's shake it up. I mean it could flip the entire leaderboard, right?
35:30Quite interesting. Yeah, I'm Tom. Yeah, you were dancing in the show. I think you'd have been spectacular at this. Thank you. I do
35:36Well, thank you very much, but are you quite pleased? You know, I'm not having to do it. Well, I have to be honest with you
35:42Great pleasure of dancing with many many ladies over the years and every week it felt like instant dance
35:48to me
35:52It is it is gonna be really exciting and I can't I can't wait
35:57Oh, I can't wait. It could be car crash television and I'm very much looking forward which would be brilliant
36:03I
36:09Will never forget it
36:11While you were traveling yeah, Blackpool these three there's some time on and we filmed it just for you
36:19Why am I the front don't let me be at the front
