00:00From Fife, at South to Blackpool, lights shine bright for everyone.
00:10Go Strictly!
00:17Got a real good feeling, got a real good feeling
00:20This is Blackpool!
00:22Strictly brings magic to Blackpool.
00:24It does.
00:25Getting to Blackpool just feels like such an achievement.
00:28Everything in the Strictly calendar gears up to this moment.
00:31I'm quite nervous, but I'm sure when I see Carlos and the music kicks in, I'll be alright.
00:35It's something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
00:38Just to have this one chance to...
00:43Everything feels a little bit elevated.
00:45I don't know if they put something in my shoes or if that's just Blackpool.
00:48I feel nervous.
00:50Let's rock the tower.
00:51Three, two, one.
00:53Hello Blackpool!
00:55Yes!
00:57Le Bois has very sadly had to withdraw from the competition.
01:02Listen up everyone, because we have an announcement.
01:05We can reveal, no one will be leaving Strictly this weekend.
01:10You are a star and I think you want to make that final.
01:21I feel it.
01:22I feel it!
01:23And two!
01:26I thought it was sultry, I thought it was sensational.
01:29Thank you so much!
01:31That is epic!
01:33It will go down in history!
01:35Five, two, one, two!
01:39The pressure was off.
01:45I feel like everyone just went out there and had the most fun.
01:49It's nice to not have a dampener at the end of it so we could sort of leave with a happy feeling.
01:54I saw Le Bois though and then I was like, oh my heart.
01:57Because of me no one goes home and then I remember that!
01:59Wow!

07:23From the Tower Ballroom, this is Strictly Come Dancing.
07:46We are back in the Tower Ballroom for part two of our Blackpool special.
08:11Thank you so much to Jason Gilkinson, our professional dancers and our returning
08:16stars for that incredible opening to the show.
08:19Nobody is going home tonight.
08:21The judges' scores and the public votes will be carried over and combined with next week's
08:25judges' scores and public votes.
08:27Then there will be a dance-off.
08:29Very soon we'll be speaking to all of our couples.
08:31Lewis Capaldi is in the ballroom.
08:34And we say goodbye to the wonderful Le Bois.
08:38But first, it was raining tens on Saturday.
08:41Let's take a look at how everything unfolded on our big night in Duffield.
08:46What an extravaganza of a show here at the Tower Ballroom.
08:57I couldn't agree more, Shirley.
08:59I mean, that was just incredible.
09:01Wow is the word of the night.
09:04Yes.
09:05At the top of the leaderboard, we have Lewis and Katya.
09:09For me, that was the standout dance of the evening.
09:13I could not hold it.
09:15We just opened Blackpool, we got a 40, it couldn't have went any better, I am on cloud nine.
09:23And hot on their heels are Karen and Carlos, and George and Alexis.
09:28Karen, the Paso Doble, I had goosebumps.
09:3339, at Blackpool, doing the Paso, that will be with me forever.
09:39George, closing the show was absolutely unbelievable.
09:44Blackpool has just elevated everything.
09:47You got three.
09:49I did, yeah.
09:51Your hips were doing something.
09:55In the middle of the leaderboard, we have Amber and Nikita and Alex and Johanna.
09:59I love this dance so much, I really enjoyed dancing it.
10:03I thought she did rather remarkably well.
10:05It was sensual, that sass here and there.
10:09Let's do another one sometime.
10:11I thought Amber's quick step was a Blackpool quick step.
10:16She needed this space.
10:17Also, some fantastic footwork, she's really starting to pay attention to small details.
10:22The energy in the room, I have never felt a feeling like it before.
10:27I want to bottle that and remember it forever.
10:31On the other end of the leaderboard, we have Valvinda and Julian.
10:35Valvinda, our comeback queen, I'm in four dance-offs and every single time coming back
10:41stronger, never giving up.
10:42Nothing can hinder Valvinda.
10:45The Argentine Tango at Blackpool.
10:48That is a very special dream that has come true for me tonight.
10:53My heart could burst, it's brilliant.
10:55None of us have the deciding vote tonight, so we can relax a little bit, darling, because
11:01our scores will be carried over from this week to next week, and then the pressure is really
11:07on because the quarter-finals are looming.
11:11Everybody loves the sunshine.
11:15The scores have been carried over to next week, they are still super important.
11:21I never take anything for granted, next week will think about what comes next week.
11:27We have another week to experience Strictly Come Dancing, it's epic!
11:32The scores are very close together, I'm sure they will be next week.
11:36The public's vote is hugely important now.
11:39The competition is hotting up and we just have to keep bringing it week after week after
11:43week.
11:44We are here with six such happy couples.
11:54Isn't it amazing?
11:55Nikita, I've got to ask you that moment when Tess announced no dance-off and you all...
12:01I thought...
12:02We thought you'd be happy.
12:03You just jumped up.
12:04I love that reaction.
12:05What did it feel like?
12:07To be honest, Claude, I didn't understand what Tess said.
12:12I was so confused.
12:13Sorry.
12:14Yeah, I was so confused, Tess.
12:16And then I asked him what is happening and she told me we are through.
12:19I'm like, how?
12:20What did we do?
12:21We didn't even know.
12:22Yeah, no, just the biggest elation ever.
12:25I mean, it's just to be in Blackpool.
12:27Yeah.
12:28Especially to go through and you know, it's just that relief.
12:31It's just that relief and I think everybody performed their best because nobody had that stress.
12:36Everybody just gave their best and was just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
12:39Loved it.
12:40Good.
12:41Amber, tell me what it's been like.
12:43Just the reception in Blackpool because we're addicted to it.
12:45Oh, I just love the world.
12:46Honestly, the people of Blackpool have welcomed us so much.
12:53We've had people standing outside of our hotel.
12:56Ten selfies I got us for yesterday.
12:58That's a record.
12:59I texted my mum and I said, Mum, I've made it.
13:02But it's been amazing.
13:05It's to experience Strictly Come Dancing's Blackpool Iconic Week.
13:10I mean, it's a dream come true for all of us.
13:12It's amazing.
13:13I'm sure.
13:14Karen, you scored 3-10 this week.
13:17Your highest score yet.
13:19Yeah!
13:24So well deserved.
13:25Are you still pinching yourself?
13:26Yeah, I can't believe it, honestly.
13:28It was such an amazing crowd, amazing venue.
13:31Dancing with this guy.
13:32I love dancing with it.
13:33And then the score was just topped it.
13:34So it was wicked.
13:35It's so good.
13:36Carlos, how proud are you of Karen?
13:38I mean, I couldn't say more to perform something like that in this magical place.
13:43I'm really, really, I'm really, really emotional.
13:46Thank you for that.
13:47Aww!
13:48We've got couple's choice next week.
13:53We do.
13:54You can't wait for that.
13:56What can we expect?
13:58I don't know.
13:59We've been having, like, disagreements, I'd say, about what we want you to do.
14:04Because I was trying to tell you how we do a fussy, fussy, fussy, fussy, fussy.
14:09We do a jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz.
14:11We do a ballet, ballet, ballet, ballet, ballet.
14:13We do a commercial, ha, ha, ha.
14:15She's like, Carlos, all I want to be is free.
14:17Yeah.
14:18Yay!
14:19Well, there you go.
14:20No rules in the couple's choice.
14:22We cannot wait to watch it.
14:23Congratulations.
14:24George, I've got a fact for you.
14:26Nobody has ever got a 10 for a salsa in Blackpool.
14:31And you've got three!
14:34You've got three!
14:35You've got three!
14:36You 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.
14:40That feels wrong.
14:41You do, George.
14:42No, I'm still sort of trying to come to terms with the fact that I got, like, one 10.
14:43Let alone three.
14:44That's mental.
14:45Well, congratulations.
14:46Alexis, how was your first Strictly Blackpool?
14:47It's been electric.
14:48I am just in a state of awe constantly.
14:49Last time I was in Blackpool was when I was younger and competing.
14:52And it's a full circle moment for sure.
14:53And it's just so special.
14:54And just the night and I'm just speechless.
14:56It's insane.
14:57Yeah.
14:58Yeah.
14:59Yeah.
15:00Yeah.
15:01Yeah.
15:02Yeah.
15:03Yeah.
15:04Yeah.
15:05Yeah.
15:06Yeah.
15:07Yeah.
15:08Yeah.
15:09Yeah.
15:10You did the salsa.
15:11Can you please tell us what dance we're doing and to what song next week?
15:22Yes.
15:23We are doing a quick step to this.
15:25I get a kick.
15:26Oh!
15:27So classy.
15:28How do you feel about that, George?
15:29I'll be frank.
15:30Oh!
15:31Yeah.
15:32Yeah.
15:33Yeah.
15:34Yeah.
15:35Yeah.
15:36Yeah.
15:37Yeah.
15:38Yeah.
15:39Yeah.
15:40Yeah.
15:41Yeah.
15:42Lewis, you have now scored a total of ten tens.
15:47Oh!
15:48Yeah.
15:49Yeah.
15:50What about that?
15:52And your second perfect score was on Saturday.
15:56I take it you're now a fan of Blackpool.
15:58I love Blackpool.
16:00I think I might have to move here.
16:02Oh, it's fantastic.
16:03I mean, it's been brilliant being in Blackpool and to be in the ballroom, you know, I've never
16:08felt anything like it.
16:09It's just absolutely wild.
16:10The sort of the support from everyone in the audience, but as well as the surrounding,
16:15it's just super special.
16:16Katia, you two have had such a journey together, but the dynamic changed a little bit this week,
16:21didn't it?
16:22Yeah.
16:23It feels like they are our dance partners.
16:25You know, they're not contestants or students.
16:28They've entered this ballroom in a different capacity as our dance partners and it really,
16:34really, really felt like it.
16:35So, you and us, Anne and I.
16:37Thank you very much.
16:38Never had one.
16:39Can we have a conversation about your dog, Alex?
16:44Because you know I'm in love with him.
16:47He's called Wolfie.
16:48He's got involved in Strictly.
16:50He really has got involved in Strictly.
16:52He's got a couple of outfits now.
16:55He has a ballroom number and he also has a Latin number that he likes to wear.
17:01We have a photo of him.
17:03This is when he's in his Latin era.
17:05Yes.
17:06Let's have a look.
17:08The thing is, he has a neck that I want to try and achieve when I'm dancing.
17:17Whenever I'm dancing with Jojo, if we're doing ballroom or something, he says,
17:20you know, extend your neck, long neck.
17:23My dog just does it naturally.
17:25We should all be more wolfy.
17:28Mark, aren't you doing this week and to what song, please?
17:31We are doing a cha-cha-cha to this.
17:45Thank you, Julie.
17:46Good girl.
17:47Very good.
17:48How are you feeling about the cha-cha?
17:49Oh, I'm super excited.
17:50Are you?
17:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:52Super.
17:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:54Cha-cha-cha.
17:55Good girl.
17:56Burn everything in threes.
17:57We cannot wait to see it.
17:59Balvinda, on Saturday night, you did an Argentine tango in the tower ballroom.
18:05What I believe there is one other thing on your Blackpool bucket list.
18:09Is that right?
18:10Yes.
18:11What is it?
18:12A cream tea at the tower.
18:14Cream tea?
18:15I could sniff a cream tea out anywhere.
18:17Can you?
18:18I'm going to let you go home.
18:19I'm going to let you go home.
18:20I am so with you.
18:21I am so with you.
18:22I've only been out for 12 hours.
18:23That's amazing.
18:24Delicious.
18:25Does anybody want some?
18:26There's scones!
18:27There's scones!
18:28There's scones!
18:29Let's go, let's go!
18:30It's queen.
18:31If you're a snor, it's the scones!
18:32And then just scones!
18:33If you're at norm, it's the scones!
18:34Yeah, it's the scone.
18:36Julian, it's week ten next week.
18:38What dance raiding and what is dancing to?
18:40It's week 10 next week if you watch dad feeding what are you dancing to we are
18:47Dancing the jive
19:01How are you feeling about the jive I don't know to be honest with you it's fast isn't it
19:10I know the words. We can't wait. You're going to be fantastic now next week
19:15Just gonna say this out loud the competition is ramping up strictly as a brand-new challenge
19:21Everyone hold hands. Have a look at this
19:27Next week for the first time our celebs face the instant dance
19:34picking a dance style at random to perform on the spot and
19:38And at this crucial point in the competition
19:42It's a chance to gain extra marks and turn the leaderboard on its head
19:48It's the ultimate test of how much they have learned and how in tune they are with their dance partner and
19:56With a place in the quarterfinal at stake. The spotlight will be on them more than ever
20:08And I should explain you have selected your envelopes you have signed your envelopes you have no idea
20:18What dance you are going to get it's going to be fantastic. Don't make that face. I'm behind
20:24How are you feeling?
20:25Is it going to be fantastic?
20:26Is it going to be fantastic?
20:27It's going to be great!
20:28It's going to be chaotic!
20:29It's going to be chaotic!
20:30We love chaos!
20:31Nikita you're into it aren't you?
20:33I am
20:34Imagine live television you don't know the dance you don't know the costume you don't know the song you know nothing and the best part nobody can stop you
20:44When you say it like that it's got to be so much fun
20:49George you're trying to know as much as the end but very excited about the challenge. I think it'll just be a laugh
20:54I mean, I know it will it will go awfully
20:58Either it goes awfully and I'm upset about it. I'm having a good time. I'll just try and smile. I'll just point at her the whole time and go
21:08Do that Karen you have concerns about Carlos don't you?
21:12I never know what he's doing at the best of days and then adding what you explain there Nikita
21:22I'm just going to go go on Carlos do your thing and I just clap
21:25I mean
21:27Carlos can you put Karen's mind at ease?
21:29I mean it's instant dance my mind will be instant too
21:32Oh gosh
21:34I don't mean
21:35That's not even mean
21:37Brilliant
21:38Now 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
21:46And you're a little bit worried about what Katya might pick to wear I've heard
21:50I am I absolutely am I think you know she's quite rogue in the dress sense
21:55And she might I think you might put like nothing you'll like layer some jeans with a skirt
22:01I think you'll end about have about five different layers
22:03We're alright with that some people are quite positive Alex you're quite
22:06I'm terrified I'm absolutely terrified because I just feel like what if the envelope I picked is for example the Viennese waltz that I did seven weeks ago
22:16And I I mean a fleckle I can't remember how to fleckle
22:21I it's I I and we with sort of in front of millions of people live on TV
22:28I'm yes I am quietly terrified I really am actually
22:32Jojo it is scary for the celebs but this is normal for pros
22:36It's quite normal for professionals because that's what that's our world is built like that you go to the competition
22:41You don't know what music is going to be played strictly is lush for that reason because you are prepared
22:46But this is more a real setting isn't it what we do in our world?
22:51They play the music and you dance and we have prepared choreography. We just have to remember what it is
22:57Talk to me about that. So will you prepare 40 seconds of dancing this week as well as learning a whole new dance?
23:05Absolutely, that's the pressure
23:08Yeah
23:09This is madness
23:11My darling just look into my eyes
23:16At least we know Balbinder that it is a dance that you've already performed in the competition
23:21Does that give you a little bit more confidence?
23:23I mean if you say so
23:25I'm not so sure
23:27We'll just throw out some steps and see what happens
23:30Julian how can the celebs prepare for an instant dance?
23:33Just go all in because like you know Johanna said this is kind of like a bit more of a glimpse into you know Latin and Boreman
23:39And at its core Latin and Boreman is improvising it's just two people having a conversation and having a dance together
23:44And I actually think that these 40 seconds will probably be some of the most memorable 40 seconds of the series
23:51It could be for great reasons
23:56I genuinely think it's it's gonna be it's gonna be magical
24:02Don't underestimate what you know
24:06Back yourselves guys
24:07Back yourselves guys
24:08It's muscle memory
24:09It's gonna come back
24:10It's muscle memory and if not twirling
24:12Yeah
24:13Now for some music
24:14Please welcome this sensational
24:16No Miss Capaldi
24:21Eyes of emerald and white
24:26More precious than gold
24:33Hands as soft as the sand
24:36But harder to hold
24:41Tonight could be the last time
24:44Your heart beating mind
24:45Your heart beating mind
24:46Forever this close
24:49But life can cut like a knife
24:52That's just how it goes
24:55Well till the day I die
25:00I will dream of you
25:04In a million lives
25:07You're the one I choose
25:08You're the one I choose
25:10You're the one I choose
25:16I'll love you
25:18Till my last breath
25:22You're gone by
25:24Something in the heavens
25:26Tells me that we'll be together again
25:27You're gone by
25:28Something in the heavens
25:29Tells me that we'll be together again
25:31I'll see you
25:36Around the night
25:39You're gone by
25:43Something in the heavens
25:45Tells me that we'll be together again
25:47Sounds of gathering clouds
25:50Sounds of gathering clouds
25:54Are all that I hear
25:56Just stays a permanent grave
26:02Since you disappeared
26:05But till the day I die
26:09I will dream of you
26:13In a million lives
26:18You're the one that's huge
26:25I'll love you
26:29Till my last breath
26:34You're gone, boy
26:37Something in the heavens
26:39That's gonna pull me together again
26:42I'll see you
26:46Around the day
26:50You're gone, boy
26:53Something in the heavens
26:55Tells me that we'll be together again
26:59Together again
27:03Something in the heavens
27:12Tells me that we'll be together again
27:15Something in the heavens
27:28That we'll be together again
27:32Thank you to Lewis Capaldi and our professional dancers Diane, Lauren, Vito and Neil
27:42Now, welcome to the fairground, it's the judges
27:59You just give me what's the real world
28:03You let me back the ground
28:07Amazing, thank you so much
28:09First of all, can we just have a conversation about this?
28:12There was a 40, there were 10 10s and everybody up their scores
28:17What is in the air here? What happened?
28:20Magic, darling
28:21Magic
28:22Magic
28:23Now I think it puts pressure on absolutely every contestant to do their absolute best
28:27Yes
28:28Of course
28:29And plus they've got a sprung floor which we love
28:31And I'm not just saying this a wonderful audience
28:33A fantastic audience
28:35It's just a really brilliant atmosphere and it's exciting
28:40So everyone does their best
28:41And plus they did find out that they had a buy-through darling
28:44Yeah
28:45So that does take the pressure off which is great
28:47Yeah
28:48They were fantastic, they really did well
28:50It's always Blackpool different energy
28:53But they were just honestly
28:55I mean, Shirley you said it before
28:57It feels like dance is the highlight
28:59Everybody honestly gave so much of themselves
29:02It was beautiful
29:03At the beginning of the series when everybody comes in
29:05They're all excited to reach this event
29:07Yes
29:08At the Tower Ballroom
29:09And I think everybody accelerated
29:11And did the very very best
29:13And it's just been wonderful
29:15We've never experienced that, have we?
29:16No
29:17I mean, we've always had great blackpools
29:18But this seems something, like you said, that was in the air
29:21Absolutely
29:22They're going to be delighted on Monday morning
29:24When they get back into the studio
29:25And start rehearsing again for next week
29:27They're going to be delighted with this week's performance
29:30Yes
29:31Because they were terrific performances
29:33It's such a good point
29:34Shirley, I'd love to talk to you about Lewis
29:36Because both you and Motsi said
29:38And this is so true
29:39That somehow he accelerated even towards the end
29:42When anybody else would be like
29:44Well, it comes under the heading of dynamics
29:46It's when you can change different energies
29:48So he started at the very very beginning with power
29:51And he was going and he was shifting
29:53But he never decelerated, did he?
29:55He went and he accelerated towards the end
29:57Very rare when you're watching the performance
29:59Because normally it dwindles at the end
30:01And he didn't
30:02OK, thank you so much
30:03Craig, I'd love to ask you about Val Vindic
30:06It was such a great dance, wasn't it?
30:08Well, it was
30:09It was a dance that really suited her
30:10She obviously looked like she was into it
30:13Enjoyed it
30:14It was one that she was loving
30:15So she paid more attention to it, I think
30:18You know, everything has improved
30:20She was very much in the middle of the road for me
30:22I was giving her sevens week after week after week
30:25And I didn't see that much improvement
30:27And I noticed in this dance that she improved, you know
30:32And it was really lovely to see
30:34Anton, I'd love to ask you about George
30:36He got three tens
30:38That's perfect timing, isn't it?
30:40This is exactly how you want it to go
30:44You want to show an improvement
30:45And we've all been asking for sort of the same thing, really
30:50We want more of you
30:51We want you to give it more
30:52We want you to sell it more
30:53But when you reach this new level
30:55It takes something like this sometimes
30:57Blackpool
30:58You get to that next level
30:59Then you go
31:00Ah
31:01I know what you're talking about
31:03I understand what you're talking about now
31:04OK, thank you so much
31:06Motsy
31:07I love what you said to Kaz
31:08And you said you didn't have a paddle high enough
31:11Yeah
31:12Could we just remind ourselves
31:13That passo was extraordinary
31:15It was a moment
31:16I mean, you know
31:17The thing is
31:18What you want at the end of the day
31:19Somebody to come on the dance floor
31:21And you feel like there is absolutely nothing left
31:24She gave us absolutely this moment
31:27This music
31:28She just put her heart on the dance floor
31:30And I just enjoyed it
31:32Because she's so authentic
31:34She's so real
31:35And she, you know
31:37Those spins in there
31:38They were so difficult
31:39And she was going and pushing
31:41And this whole music
31:42And everything just felt unbelievable
31:44I mean, we had goosebumps from the word go
31:46With Joe
31:47We're like
31:48Can you believe this?
31:49Because it was
31:50It was fantastic
31:51It was phenomenal
31:52So I only have one word to say
31:53Yes
31:54Craig
31:55I knew this was coming
31:57What's the matter with you?
31:59I loved it
32:01She dances her own way actually
32:03And you know
32:04We're all different opinions
32:06I felt like it was
32:08Her arms
32:09And her attack
32:10Was all on one level
32:11For me
32:12I would have liked to have seen
32:13Just a little bit more flair
32:15In the Spanish
32:16Pau de Bras
32:17Everyone
32:19Inhale
32:20And exhale
32:21When she's doing it
32:22In the final darling
32:23No
32:24Don't knock on wood
32:26Find some wood
32:27Now judges
32:28Next week
32:29It is
32:30Instant dance
32:31Let's have a look at this
32:38Today we will be picking
32:40What dance style we will be doing
32:42For the instant dance
32:43I'm quite nervous going into this
32:45Just because
32:46I have no control over anything right now
32:48Right
32:49We've made it to this point
32:51Here we go
32:52Instant dance selection
32:54I don't want to do it
32:55I would like a Viennese waltz
32:57That's fresh on the brain
32:59I don't want the cha cha cha
33:01Because we were in the dance off
33:02I hope it's not a pass
33:03So
33:04Please give us a jive
33:05Wait
33:06What?
33:07Oh for goodness sake
33:09Are you ready?
33:10Go
33:11You got this
33:12Come on
33:13Let me see
33:15Orange
33:16Orange
33:17Oh this is scary
33:19That feels like the cha cha
33:20Does it?
33:21Let's go sign our names
33:25We are literally signing up our fate right now
33:28Oh no
33:30I'll meet you on the dance floor
33:32When we open this envelope
33:34The fate is sealed
33:37I don't know how I feel
33:40Improvising is one of the hardest things you can do
33:43As a professional dancer
33:44It's going to be difficult
33:45We don't know the music
33:47We don't know the style
33:48I've not even thought of the music
33:50I don't remember anything
33:52I don't even remember last week's dance
33:54You literally can't prepare
33:56You just gotta not panic
33:58And I will panic
34:05Now Moxie
34:06You have done this in Germany
34:08Yes
34:09How does it play out?
34:10Well it's really exciting
34:12The question is have they really learned to dance
34:14Have they understood what they're doing?
34:16Have they understood the character of the dance?
34:18Have they learned their basic steps?
34:20And you have to trust your partner
34:22So have they built those trustful partnerships
34:24Where you can like lead and follow and let go?
34:28I mean I've seen people have blackouts
34:30And just like stand there
34:32But I've seen some magical moments
34:34Where
34:35I want to see that
34:36No!
34:37What I love is anything can happen
34:40Well that's true
34:41But we dance in life don't we?
34:43Yeah
34:44You know you get up at a disco darling
34:45You're not choreographed are you?
34:47You get up and dance with someone
34:48So uh
34:49No, no
34:50Even if you do that
34:51Hold on a second
34:52Hold on a second
34:53Hold on a second
34:54Yeah but that
34:55You don't do a cha cha
34:56In a disco
34:57Oh I do
34:58But what I mean
34:59Yeah I love you
35:00But you're
35:01That's something else
35:02I mean you're dancing
35:03With a partner
35:04In front of
35:05People watching
35:06I think they're going to get a dance
35:07That they have done in the past
35:08Yes they are
35:09It's going to be whether they can remember it
35:11So
35:12And to the music
35:13Short notice on a minute or so
35:15They've got to pick the costume
35:16Pick the dance
35:17The music they will have never heard
35:19Then they've got to trust their own judgement
35:21And can they follow their partner
35:22So that's going to be absolute chaos
35:25And we're all here for it
35:26Yeah
35:27Oh my goodness
35:28Shake it up
35:29Why not
35:30Let's shake it up
35:31I mean it could flip the entire leaderboard
35:33Yeah
35:34Right
35:35So that's what's quite interesting
35:36Yeah yeah
35:37Anton when you were dancing on the show
35:38I think you'd have been spectacular at this
35:40Thank you
35:41I do
35:42Well thank you very much
35:43But are you quite pleased
35:44You never had to do it
35:45No I'm not having to do it
35:46Well I have to be honest with you
35:47I've had the great pleasure of dancing
35:49With many many ladies over the years
35:51And every week it felt like instant dance
35:53To me
35:54No matter how long
35:55We'd pause
35:56It is
35:57It is going to be really exciting
35:59And I can't
36:00I can't wait
36:02Oh I can't wait
36:03It could be car crash television
36:05And I'm very much looking forward
36:07Which would be brilliant
36:08Craigie
36:09It might be the Linda
36:11I will never forget it
36:15While you were travelling
36:17To Blackpool

36:20And we filmed it
36:21Just for you

37:41Waltz she's dressed as the bird woman I'll get you back for this daily
37:47We're doing ballroom and Aliash keeps holding out the arms it's going to frame and I just keep thinking he wants a hug
37:59Do you know the address where you send your CV to the BBC just in case there's any new jobs coming up
38:04I'm just asking for a friend
38:06Tonight I think for the first time I get what you guys feel we're dancing and how magical it can feel
38:12You are what we call a true diva. I can't help but love you. Beautiful. I just
38:24It's been amazing you were beaming throughout you're a born entertainer

38:46So many great moments you've been such a highlight this series. Oh my gosh
38:51Thank you. So that was beautiful to watch that back. It really was this has been the most extraordinary experience of my entire life
38:58It really has what have you loved most if that's not too
39:01I loved most don't hate me, but it's not been the dancing
39:04It's been just being welcomed on the show with the most amazing
39:09Warmth from everyone from the the whole crew backstage the judges to the pros to the celebs to you two to everyone has been amazing
39:16I came into the show as a minority, you know as a redhead and
39:21You know and you've just all embraced me wanted to play and I just I cannot thank you enough for just this most magical magical journey
39:29It's been amazing
39:30Aliash LaVoie has had us all in stitches since day one. How much are you going to miss your training sessions together?
39:38Yeah, LaVoie had everyone in stitches on a Saturday and Sunday night, but I was in stitches seven days a week and
39:45You know we always say I've made a friend for life on strictly
39:49But I've been lucky this year because I feel like I made two friends for life
39:54on Saturday and Sundays we all left with LaVoie but from Monday to
39:59Thursday and Friday I had the best time with Chris and
40:04Genuinely, I haven't done a single
40:06Crunch in the last four months, but I got my six-pack back, which is amazing
40:11You are like I I think you know who you described it the best actually I I wouldn't say it was my idea
40:17But Mozi said it the best we all need it
40:19I feel like the world needs more of you. Yeah, and I think strictly needed it and
40:25You made my life just a joy for the last
40:29Weeks and I'm gonna miss going to rehearsals. I'm gonna miss dancing with you
40:33I'm gonna miss creating with you and you are so brilliant at what you do and it was
40:47And I feel like you both feel incredibly lucky that you got each other
40:53What would you like to say to any? Oh, just just so lucky
40:57I mean what you see on that dance floor is a fraction of the love and the passion and the heart that this man has
41:04for dance and his craft and you have
41:07Made me carry on when I've questioned myself
41:10You've made me laugh through the toughest days and when I haven't thought I could do something you never gave up on me once not once and
41:19I'm gonna leave this experience braver happier and
41:23Such a more confident person and that's because of you so thank you
41:27I love you
41:33Strong bonds with all of your fellow cast. I knew it's so sad to say goodbye
41:39No, of course we have you know, and I just think with me leaving unexpected
