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.
01:59Four!
02:17One, two, three!
02:24You've been dancing with all over the neighborhood
02:32So why didn't you ask me baby
02:54You've been dancing with all over the neighborhood
03:14So why didn't you ask me baby
03:18Come on and let me see you sick and tell, fella
03:21Come on and let me see you sick and tell, fella
03:26Come on!
03:30You want the teenage wedding
03:32And the old folks wish them well
03:36Said I'd be the city old folks
03:38Don't show you never can tell
03:48Hey, hey, hey
04:18If you're blue, you don't know where to go to
04:40Why don't you go where I can't sit
04:42Putting on the wrist
04:45Different times, where it is
04:48Pants and stripes, cut away, it's what that fits
04:52Putting on the wrist
04:54Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
04:59Trying hard to be like Eric Cooper
05:04Super duper, come let's mix
05:06With rockabellas, walk with sticks
05:08And number-evers in their knits
05:10Putting on the wrist
05:13Putting on the wrist
05:15Putting on the wrist
05:19Come what's that?
05:21Oh
05:51Oh
06:21Oh
06:51Oh
07:21From the Tower Ballroom
07:39This is Strictly Come Dancing
07:41Please welcome
07:44Tess Daly
07:46And Claudia Winkleman
07:51Hello and welcome to Strictly Come Dancing
08:01We are back in the Tower Ballroom for part two of our Blackpool special
08:06Thank you so much to Jason Gilkinson, our professional dancers
08:10And 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
08:19And 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
08:29And 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 Daphne
08:39What an extravaganza of a show here at the Tower Ballroom
08:52I couldn't agree more, Shirley
08:54I mean, that was just incredible
08:56Wow is the word of the night
09:00Yes
09:02At 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
09:10Yay!
09:12We just opened Blackpool
09:13We got a 40
09:15It couldn't have went any better
09:17I am on cloud nine
09:19And hot on their heels are Karen and Carlos
09:21And George and Alexis
09:23Karen, that Paso doble, I had goosebumps
09:2739 at Blackpool
09:30Doing the Paso
09:31That will be with me
09:33Forever
09:34George, closing the show was absolutely unbelievable
09:39Blackpool has just elevated everything
09:42You got three
09:45I did, yeah
09:46Your hips were doing something
09:49Thank you
09:50In the middle of the leaderboard, we have Amber and Nikita
09:53And 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
10:01That sass here and there
10:03Let's do another one sometime
10:05I thought Amber's quickstep was a Blackpool quickstep
10:10She 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 her and remember it forever
10:25On the other end of the leaderboard
10:28We have Valvinda and Julian
10:30Valvinda will come back queen
10:32I mean four dance off
10:33And every single time coming back stronger
10:36Never giving up
10:37Nothing can hinder Valvinda
10:39The Argentine tango at Blackpool
10:43That is a very special dream
10:45That has come true for me tonight
10:47But my heart could burst
10:49It's brilliant
10:50None of us have the deciding vote tonight
10:54So we can relax a little bit darling
10:56Because our scores will be carried over
10:58From this week to next week
11:00And then the pressure is really on
11:03Because the quarter finals are looming
11:06Everybody loves the sunshine
11:08The scores have been carried over to next week
11:14They are still super important
11:16I 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
11:25It'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
11:38We are here with six such happy couples
11:49Isn't it amazing?
11:51Nikita, I've got to ask you
11:52That moment when Tess announced
11:54No dance off
11:55And you all
11:56I thought
11:57We thought he'd be happy
11:58You just jumped up
11:59I love that reaction
12:00What did it feel like?
12:02To be honest Claude
12:04I didn't understand what Tess said
12:06I was so confused
12:08Sorry
12:08Yeah, I was so confused Tess
12:11And then I asked Amber
12:12What is happening
12:13And she told me we are through
12:14I'm like how?
12:15What did we do?
12:17Yeah, no
12:17Just the biggest elation ever
12:20I mean
12:20It's just to be in Blackpool
12:22Yeah
12:22Especially to go through
12:24And you know
12:24It's just that relief
12:26It's just that relief
12:27And I think everybody performed their best
12:29Because nobody had that stress
12:31Everybody just gave their best
12:33And was just gorgeous
12:33Gorgeous
12:34Loved it
12:35Good
12:35Amber, tell me what it's been like
12:38Just a reception in Blackpool
12:40Because we're addicted to it
12:41Oh, I just love the world
12:41Honestly
12:42The people of Blackpool
12:45Have welcomed us so much
12:48We've had people standing outside of our hotel
12:51Ten selfies I got us for yesterday
12:53That's a record
12:55I took my mum and I said
12:56Mum, I've made it
12:57But it's been amazing
13:00It's to experience
13:02Strictly Come Dancing's Blackpool
13:04Iconic week
13:05I mean, it's a dream come true for
13:07All of us
13:08It's amazing
13:08I'm sure
13:09Karen, you scored 310 this week
13:13Your highest score yet
13:15So well deserved
13:20Are you still pinching yourself?
13:21Yeah, I can't believe it
13:22Honestly
13:23It was such an amazing crowd
13:25Amazing venue
13:26Dancing with this guy
13:27I love dancing with it
13:28And then the score was just topped it
13:30So it was wicked
13:30It's so good
13:31Carlos, how proud are you of Karen?
13:33I mean, I couldn't say more
13:35To perform something like that
13:37In this magical place
13:38I'm really, really
13:40I'm really, really emotional
13:42Thank you for that
13:43We've got couple's choice next week
13:49We do
13:50What way for that?
13:52What can we expect?
13:54I don't know
13:55We've been having, like, disagreements
14:00I'd say about what we want you to do
14:02Because I'm trying to tell you
14:03We do a fussy, fussy, fussy, fussy, fussy
14:04We do a jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz
14:06We do a ballet, ballet, ballet, ballet, ballet
14:09We do a commercial
14:10She said, Carlos, all I want to be is free
14:13Yeah
14:13Well, 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 ten for a salsa in Blackpool
14:27In Street
14:27And you got three
14:31You 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
14:42You do, George
14:43No, I'm still sort of trying to come to terms with the fact that I got like one ten
14:48Let alone three
14:49That's mental
14:51Well, congratulations
14:53Alexis, how was your first Strictly Blackpool?
14:56It's been electric
14:57I 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
15:06And it's just so special
15:08And just the night
15:09And I'm just speechless
15:10It's insane
15:11Yeah
15:12You did the salsa
15:13Can you please tell us what dance we're doing
15:15And to what song next week?
15:17Next week
15:18Yes, we are doing a quick step to this
15:21I get a kick
15:23Oh!
15:24Oh!
15:25So classy
15:27How do you feel about that, George?
15:28I'll be frank
15:29You have now scored a total of ten tens
15:34Oh!
15:35Oh!
15:36Oh!
15:37Oh!
15:38Oh!
15:39Oh!
15:40Oh!
15:41Oh!
15:42Oh!
15:43Oh!
15:44Oh!
15:45Oh!
15:46Oh!
15:47Oh, thank you
15:48And 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
16:01And to be in the ballroom, you know, I've never felt anything like it
16:05It's just absolutely wild
16:06The sort of the support from everyone in the audience
16:09But as well as the surrounding, it's just super special
16:12Katya, you two have had such a journey together
16:14But the dynamic changed a little bit this week, didn't it?
16:17Yeah
16:18It 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, so
16:31You and us, I don't know
16:33Thank you very much
16:35Never had one
16:37Can 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
16:53And 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
17:05The thing is, he has a neck
17:08That I want to try and achieve when I'm dancing
17:12Whenever I'm dancing with Jojo
17:14If we're doing ballroom or something
17:15He says, you know, extend your neck, long neck
17:17My dog just does it naturally
17:19We should all be more wolfy
17:22What aren't you doing this week and to what song, please?
17:25We are doing a cha-cha-cha
17:27To this
17:41Good girl, very good tune
17:42How are you feeling about the cha-cha?
17:44Oh, I'm super excited
17:46Are you?
17:47Yeah, yeah, yeah
17:48Super
17:49Yeah, yeah, yeah
17:50Cha-cha-cha
17:51Good girl
17:52Well, I have everything in threes
17:53We cannot wait to see it
17:54Thank you
17:55Balvinda, on Saturday night
17:56You 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?
18:05Yes
18:06What is it?
18:07A cream tea at the tower
18:09Cream tea?
18:10I can sniff a cream tea out anywhere
18:12Can you?
18:13I wouldn't let you go home without one
18:15Here we go
18:19I am so with you
18:21My life
18:22We've only been out for 12 hours
18:24That's amazing
18:26Delicious
18:27Does anybody want some?
18:28Scone is
18:29Scone
18:30Scone
18:31Scone
18:32Scone
18:33It's a scone
18:34It's a scone
18:35Julian, it's week ten
18:36Next week
18:37Watch dance meeting
18:38What are you dancing to?
18:40We are
18:41Dancing
18:42The jive
18:43To this
18:44All right
18:45I am going to get right back to moving
18:46To this
18:47All right
18:48I am going to get right back to moving
18:50So
18:51I am going to get right back to moving
18:54Oh my god
18:55Oh, well
18:56How are you feeling about the jive?
18:58I don't know to be honest with you
18:59It's fast isn't it?
19:00It is very fast
19:01It is very fast
19:02Yeah, yeah
19:03We are off to a good start
19:04Excellent
19:05I know the words
19:06We can't wait
19:07You are going to be fantastic
19:09Now next week
19:10I am just going to say this out loud
19:11The competition is ramping up
19:13Strictly has a brand new challenge
19:16Everyone hold hands
19:17Have a look at this
19:22Next week
19:23For the first time
19:25Our celebs face the instant dance
19:28Picking a dance style at random
19:31To perform on the spot
19:33And at this crucial point in the competition
19:36It's a chance to gain extra marks
19:39And turn the leaderboard on its head
19:42It's the ultimate test of how much they have learned
19:46And how in tune they are with their dance partner
19:49And with a place in the quarter-final at stake
19:53The spotlight will be on them more than ever
19:57That is instant dance
20:07And I should explain
20:08You have selected your envelopes
20:10You have signed your envelopes
20:12You have no idea
20:13What 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?
20:20It'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?
20:27I am
20:28Imagine live television
20:30You don't know the dance
20:32You don't know the costume
20:33You don't know the song
20:34You know nothing
20:35You know nothing
20:36And the best part
20:37Nobody can stop you
20:41When you say it like that
20:42Yeah
20:43It's going to be so much fun
20:44George you're trying to know
20:45About choosing the envelope
20:46But very excited about the challenge
20:47I think it will just be a laugh
20:49I mean I know it
20:50It will go awfully
20:52Yeah
20:53Even if it goes awfully
20:54And I'm upset about it
20:55I'm having a good time
20:56So I'll just
20:57I'll just try and smile
20:58Yeah
20:59I'll just point at her the whole time and go
21:00Do that
21:03Karen you have concerns about Carlos
21:06Don't you during your dance?
21:07What?
21:08Why?
21:09Do share
21:10It's Carlos
21:11I never know what he's doing at the best of days
21:15And then adding what you explain there Nikita
21:17I'm just going to go
21:18Go on Carlos
21:19Do your thing
21:20And I'll just clap
21:21I mean
21:22Carlos
21:23Can 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
21:34Now Lewis
21:35As well as not knowing what you're dancing
21:37Or what music you're dancing to
21:39You also don't know what you'll be wearing
21:41And you're a little bit worried about
21:43What Katya might pick to wear
21:45I've heard
21:46I am
21:47I absolutely am
21:48I think
21:49You know
21:50She's quite rogue
21:51In the dress sense
21:52And she might
21:53I think you might put like
21:54No I think
21:55You'll like layer some jeans
21:56With a skirt
21:57I think you'll have about
21:58Five different layers
21:59You're alright with that
22:00Some people are quite positive
22:01Alex you're quite
22:02I'm terrified
22:03I'm absolutely terrified
22:04Because I just feel like
22:06What if the envelope I've picked
22:08Is for example
22:09The Viennese waltz
22:10That I did seven weeks ago
22:12And I mean
22:13A fleckle
22:14I can't remember how to fleckle
22:16I
22:17It's
22:18I
22:19And we're
22:20We're sort of in front of millions of people
22:22Live on TV
22:23I'm
22:24Yes
22:25I am quietly terrified
22:26I really am actually
22:27Jojo
22:28It is scary for the celebs
22:30But this is normal for pros
22:31It's quite normal for professionals
22:33Because that's what
22:34That's our world
22:35Is built like that
22:36And you don't know what music
22:37Is going to be played
22:38Strictly is lush
22:39For that reason
22:40Because you are prepared
22:41But this is more a real setting
22:43Isn't it
22:44What we do in our world
22:45They play the music and you dance
22:47And we have prepared choreography
22:49We just have to remember what it is
22:51Really talk to me about that
22:54So will you prepare 40 seconds of dancing this week
22:58As well as learning a whole new dance
23:00Absolutely
23:01That's the pressure
23:02Yeah
23:03This is madness
23:04My darling just look into my eyes
23:08At least we know Balbinder that it is a dance that you've already performed in the competition
23:16Does 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
23:24Julian how can the celebs prepare for an instant dance?
23:28Just go all in because like you know Johanna said
23:31This is kind of like a bit more of a glimpse into you know Latin environment
23:34And at its core Latin environment is improvising
23:37It's just two people having a conversation and having a dance together
23:40And I actually think that these 40 seconds will probably

27:23That we'll be together again
27:26Thank you to Louis Capaldi and our professional dancers
27:47Diane, Lauren, Vito and Neil
27:50Now, welcome to the fairground
27:52It's the judges
28:01Amazing, thank you so much
28:04First of all, can we just have a conversation about this?
28:06There was a 40, there were 10 10s
28:09And everybody up their scores
28:12What is in the air here?
28:13What happened?
28:14Magic, Charlie
28:15Magic
28:16Magic
28:17Now I think it puts pressure on absolutely every contestant
28:20To do their absolute best
28:22Yes
28:23And plus they've got a sprung floor, which we love
28:25And I'm not just saying this, a wonderful audience
28:27A fantastic audience
28:29It's just a really brilliant atmosphere and it's exciting
28:34So everyone does their best and plus they did find out that they had a buy-through darling
28:39Yes
28:40So that does take the pressure off, which is great
28:42They were fantastic
28:43They really did well
28:44They were there
28:45It's always Blackpool different energy
28:47But they were just honestly
28:49I mean surely you said it before
28:51It feels like dance is the highlight
28:54Everybody honestly gave so much of themselves
28:57It was beautiful
28:58At the beginning of the series when everybody comes in
29:00They're all excited to reach this event
29:02Yes
29:03At the Tower Ballroom
29:04And I think everybody accelerated
29:06And did the very, very best
29:08And it's just been wonderful
29:09We've never experienced that, have we?
29:10No
29:11I mean we've always had great blackpools
29:12But this seems something, like you said, that was in the air
29:15Absolutely
29:16They're going to be delighted on Monday morning
29:18When they get back into the studio
29:19And start rehearsing again for next week
29:21They're going to be delighted with this week's performance
29:24Yes
29:25Because they were terrific performances
29:27It's such a good point
29:28Shelley, I'd love to talk to you about Lewis
29:30Because both you and Motsi said
29:32And this is so true
29:33That somehow he accelerated
29:35Even towards the end
29:36When anybody else would be like
29:38Well it comes under the heading of dynamics
29:40It's when you can change different energies
29:42So he started at the very, very beginning with power
29:45And he was going and he was shifting
29:47But he never decelerated, did he?
29:49He went and he accelerated towards the end
29:51Very rare when you're watching a performance
29:53Because normally it dwindles at the end
29:55And he didn't
29:56Okay, thank you so much
29:58Craig, I'd love to ask you about Balvin
30:00It was such a great dance, wasn't it?
30:02Well it was, it was a dance that really suited her
30:04She obviously looked like she was into it, enjoyed it
30:08It was one that she was loving
30:09So she paid more attention to it, I think
30:12You know, everything has improved
30:14She was very much in the middle of the road for me
30:16I was giving her sevens week after week after week
30:19And I didn't see that much improvement
30:21And I noticed in this dance that she improved, you know
30:26And it was really lovely to see
30:28Anton, I'd love to ask you about George
30:30He got three tens
30:32That's perfect timing, isn't it?
30:34This is exactly how you want it to go
30:37You want to show an improvement
30:39And we've all been asking for sort of the same thing really
30:44We want more of you
30:45We want you to give it more
30:46We want you to sell it more
30:47But when you reach this new level
30:49It takes something like this sometimes
30:51Blackpool
30:52You get to that next level
30:53Then you go, ah
30:54I know what you're talking about
30:56I understand what you're talking about now
30:58Okay, thank you so much
31:00Motsy, I love what you said to Kaz
31:02And you said you didn't have a paddle high enough
31:05Yeah
31:06Can we just remind ourselves
31:07That Paso was extraordinary
31:09It was a moment
31:10I mean, you know
31:11The thing is
31:12What you want at the end of the day
31:13Somebody to come on the dance floor
31:15And you feel like there is absolutely nothing left
31:18She gave us absolutely this moment
31:21This music
31:22She just put her heart on the dance floor
31:24And I just enjoyed it
31:26Because she's so authentic
31:28She's so real
31:29And she
31:30You know
31:31Those spins in there
31:32They were so difficult
31:33And she was going
31:34And pushing
31:35And this whole music
31:36And everything
31:37Just felt unbelievable
31:38I mean
31:39We had goosebumps
31:40From the word go
31:41We were like
31:42Can you believe this?
31:43Because it was
31:44It was fantastic
31:45It was phenomenal
31:46So I only have one word to say
31:48Yes
31:49Craig
31:50I knew this was coming
31:52What's the matter with you?
31:54I loved it
31:55She dances in her own way
31:57Actually
31:58And you know
31:59We're all of different opinions
32:01I felt like it was
32:02Her arms
32:03And her attack
32:04Was all on one level
32:05For me
32:06I would have liked to have seen
32:07Just a little bit more flair
32:09In the Spanish
32:10Port-de-bron
32:12Everyone
32:13I know
32:14Inhale
32:15And exhale
32:16When she's doing it
32:17In the final darling
32:18She might be able to
32:19Do not go on work
32:20Find some work
32:21Now judges
32:22Next week
32:23It is
32:24Instant dance
32:25Before we discuss
32:26Let's have a look at this
32:32Today
32:33We will be picking
32:34What dance style
32:35We will be doing
32:36For the instant dance
32:38I'm quite nervous
32:39Going into this
32:40Just because
32:41I have no control
32:42Over anything right now
32:43Right
32:44We've made it to this point
32:46Here we go
32:47Instant dance selection
32:48I don't want to do it
32:50I would like a Viennese world
32:52That's fresh on the brain
32:54I don't want the cha cha cha
32:55Because we were in the dance off
32:56I hope it's not a pass
32:58Please give us a jive
32:59Wait
33:00What?
33:01Oh for goodness sake
33:04Are you ready?
33:05Go
33:06Come on
33:07Let me see
33:10Orange
33:11Orange
33:12Oh this is scary
33:13That feels like the cha cha
33:15That's it
33:16Let's go sign our names
33:20We are literally signing up our fate right now
33:23Oh no
33:24I'll meet you on the dance floor
33:26When we open this envelope
33:28The fate is sealed
33:33I don't know how I feel
33:35Improvising is one of the hardest things you can do
33:38As a professional dancer
33:39It's going to be difficult
33:40We don't know the music
33:42We don't know the style
33:43I've not even thought of the music
33:45I don't remember anything
33:47I don't even remember last week's dance
33:48You literally can't prepare
33:50You just gotta not panic
33:52And I will panic
33:59Now Moxie, you have done this in Germany
34:02Yes
34:03How does it play out?
34:04Well it's really exciting
34:06The question is
34:07Have they really learned to dance?
34:08Have they understood what they're doing?
34:10Have they understood the character of the dance?
34:12Have they learned their basic steps?
34:14And you have to trust your partner
34:16So have they built those trustful partnerships
34:18Where you can like lead and follow and let go
34:22I mean I've seen people have blackouts
34:24And just like stand there
34:26But I've seen some magical moments
34:28Where
34:29I want to see that
34:30No!
34:31What I love is anything can happen
34:34Well that's true but we dance in life don't we?
34:37Yeah
34:38You know you get up at a disco darling
34:39You're not choreographed are you?
34:40You get up and dance with someone
34:42So
34:43No, no
34:44Hold on a second
34:45Hold on a second
34:46Hold on a second
34:47Hold on a second
34:48Yeah but you don't do a cha-cha in a disco
34:50No
34:51I don't go to a disco
34:52But what I mean
34:53Yeah I love you
34:54Is that something else?
34:55I mean you're dancing with a partner in front of people watching
34:59I think they're going to get a dance that they have done in the past
35:01Yes they are
35:02It's going to be whether they can remember it
35:05So
35:06And to the music
35:07Short notice on a minute or so
35:09They've got to pick the costume
35:10Pick the dance
35:11The music they will have never heard
35:13Then they've got to trust their own judgement
35:15And can they follow their partner
35:16So that's going to be absolute chaos
35:19And we're all here for it
35:20Yeah
35:21Oh my goodness
35:23Shake it up
35:24Shake it up
35:25Why not?
35:26Let's shake it up
35:27I mean it could flip the entire leaderboard
35:28Yeah
35:29Right?
35:30So that's what's quite interesting
35:31Yeah, yeah
35:32Anton, when you were dancing on the show
35:33I think you'd have been spectacular at this
35:34Thank you
35:35I do
35:36Well, thank you very much
35:37But are you quite pleased?
35:38You never had to do it
35:39No, I'm not having to do it
35:40Well, I have to be honest with you
35:41I've had great pleasure of dancing with many, many ladies over the years
35:46And every week it felt like instant dance to me
35:48No matter how long we've brought
35:51It is...
35:52It is going to be really exciting
35:54And I can't...
35:55I can't wait
35:57Oh, I can't wait
35:58It could be car crash television
36:00And I'm very much looking forward to it
36:02Which would be brilliant
36:03Craigie
36:04It might be the Linda Hopper song
36:06All over it
36:07I do remember that
36:08I will never forget it
36:10Uh, Moxie
36:11While you were travelling
36:12To Blackpool
36:13These three
36:14They had some time on their hands
36:15And we filmed it
36:16Just for you
36:17Have a look
36:18Why am I at the front?
36:19Don't let me be at the front
36:21Are you ready, Craigie?
36:23And we're all
36:25Oh!
36:26Oh!
36:27Oh!
36:28Oh!
36:29Oh!
36:30Oh, my affection!
36:31Oh!
36:32Oh!
36:33I'm gonna die
36:34Oh, no!
36:35Oh!
36:36Oh!
36:37Oh!
36:38Oh!
36:39Oh!
36:40Oh!
36:41Oh!
36:42Oh, my boy
36:43Never again
36:44I know you guys love Blackpool, but that was commitment.
36:51Let's hear it for our judges! Thank you.
36:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
36:57Now, one couple who sadly won't be joining us next week
37:00is Le Bois and Aliash.
37:02Before we chat to them, let's look back
37:04at their wonderful time in the show.
37:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
37:10Hello, darlings, I'm Le Bois. Simply fabulous.
37:14Pink Pony Club
37:16I'm gonna keep on dancing
37:18Don't know where Aliash started, I end.
37:20Look, if we're just right, mashed together like a tomato.
37:23Ali Bois!
37:24You still know how to put on a show.
37:26Thank you, and you clearly used to work at Bowlings.
37:28Thank you!
37:29LAUGHTER
37:30So far this series, she's had a lot to say about my outfits.
37:34And tonight, for her Mary Poppins waltz,
37:36she's dressed as the Bird Woman.
37:39I'll get you back for this daily.
37:42LAUGHTER
37:43We're in the ballroom,
37:45and Aliash keeps holding out the arms
37:47as it's going to frame,
37:48and I just keep thinking he wants a hug.
37:50Oh, mama, I just had to find...
37:54Do you know the address where you send your CV to the BBC,
37:56just in case there's any new jobs coming up?
37:58I'm just asking for a friend.
38:00Pink Pony Club
38:02Tonight, I think for the first time,
38:04I get what you guys feel with dancing
38:06and how magical it can feel.
38:07You are what we call a true diva.
38:10I can't help but love you.
38:12Beautiful.
38:13I just love you.
38:15We need the rainbow! We need it!
38:18It's been amazing. You were beaming throughout.
38:21You're a born entertainer that has worked hard
38:24for every single inch of the success you have gotten.
38:26You are a gift. You are a gift.
38:29You are a gift. You really are.
38:30I love you.
38:39Wow!
38:41So many great moments.
38:43You've been such a highlight, this series.
38:45Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much.
38:46That was beautiful to watch that back.
38:48It really was.
38:49This has been the most extraordinary experience
38:51of my entire life.
38:52It really has.
38:53What have you loved most?
38:54If that's not too hard...
38:55What have I loved most?
38:56Don't hate me, but it's not been the dancing.
38:59It's been...
39:00Just been welcomed on the show
39:01with the most amazing warmth from everyone,
39:04from the whole crew backstage,
39:06the judges, to the pros, to the celebs,
39:08to you two, to everyone.
39:10It's been amazing.
39:11I came into the show as a minority,
39:13you know, as a redhead.
39:14And, you know,
39:16and you've just all embraced me wonderfully.
39:19And I just, I cannot thank you enough
39:21for just this most magical, magical journey.
39:23It's been amazing.
39:24Aliash Lavois has had us all in stitches since day one.
39:29How much are you going to miss your training sessions together?
39:32Yeah, Lavois had everyone in stitches
39:34on a Saturday and Sunday night,
39:35but I was in stitches since day one.
39:37I was in stitches seven days a week.
39:39Yeah.
39:40And, you know, we always say
39:42I've made a friend for life on Strictly,
39:44but I've been lucky this year
39:46because I feel like I made two friends for life.
39:48On Saturday and Sundays,
39:50we all laughed with Lavois,
39:51but from Monday to Thursday and Friday,
39:54I had the best time with Chris.
39:56And, um, genuinely,
39:59I haven't done a single crunch
40:02in the last four months,
40:03but I got my six pack back,
40:04which is amazing.
40:05You are, like, I think...
40:07You know who you described it the best, actually?
40:09I wouldn't say it was my idea,
40:11but Mozart said it the best.
40:12We all need it.
40:13I feel like the world needs more of you.
40:15Yeah.
40:16And, um, I think Strictly needed it,
40:18and, uh, you made my life just a joy
40:22for the last weeks.
40:24And I'm going to miss going to rehearsals.
40:26I'm going to miss dancing with you.
40:27I'm going to miss creating with you.
40:29And you are so brilliant at what you do.
40:31And it was...
40:36Absolutely thank you.
40:37Look what Strictly is about partnerships,
40:41and I feel like you both feel incredibly lucky
40:45that you got each other.
40:47What would you like to say to Aliash?
40:49Oh, just...just so lucky.
40:51I mean, what you see on that dance floor
40:53is a fraction of the love and the passion
40:56and the heart that this man has for dance and his craft.
40:59And you have made me carry on when I've questioned myself.
41:04You've made me laugh through the toughest days,
41:06and when I haven't thought I could do something,
41:08you never gave up on me once.
41:10Not once.
41:12And I'm going to leave this experience braver,
41:16happier and such a more confident person,
41:19and that's because of you, so thank you.
41:21I love you.
41:22I love you.
41:23And you've formed such strong bonds
41:27with all of your fellow cast, haven't you?
41:29It's so sad to say goodbye.
41:31Well...
41:32No, of course, we have, you know.
41:35And I just think, with me leaving unexpected,
41:37this is not how I wanted my journey to end,
41:39at least it gives someone else in this competition
41:41a chance to win now.
41:42Yeah.
41:43And I think that's OK.
41:45We love you, Lavoie,
41:46and we're going to see you shortly on the floor
41:49for a proper Strictly send-off.
41:50Which you deserve!
41:51We do.
41:54We love you.
41:55Now, before that,
41:56if you want to see all the backstage antics from Blackboard,
41:59may I highly recommend Strictly on social.
42:03APPLAUSE

42:52and we'll be back next Saturday, 6.35,
42:55when they will bid for their place in the quarterfinal.
42:58But now, from week one, it was always her dream
43:01to take to the floor in Blackpool,
43:03and she's doing it in her own unique way.
43:05It is...
43:06the iconic...
43:07La Voix!
