00:00:01It's musicals week.

00:00:05This performance has to be a showstopper.

00:00:12Because a place in the semi-finals is at stake.

00:00:18The spotlight is on us all.

00:00:21The standards in the competition right now is insane.

00:00:34The final is getting closer.

00:00:38And nobody wants to go home.

00:00:44I love dancing and I don't want it to stop now.

00:00:48The pressure is really on.

00:00:56We have to give it our all.

00:01:01The stage is set.

00:01:06So take a seat.

00:01:09The show's about to start.

00:01:18Not sure what they're doing.

00:01:19It's ooh it's a feel.

00:01:20But we don't deserve the task.

00:01:25Since some son would be he.

00:01:26Maybe we just need to delve somewhere.

00:01:28Match it frequently.

00:01:29But we know anything.

00:01:32Everybody admits it anyway.

00:01:36So take a seat.

00:01:37We don't need to get it anymore.

00:01:39We do whatever we find.

00:01:41We make our public free.

00:06:50Absolutely amazing.

00:06:51Oh, brilliant.

00:06:52Tonight, the West End takes over the ballroom as our couples pay tribute to some of the biggest musicals of all time.

00:07:42One night only, it's all I have to say.

00:08:12One night only, it's all I have to say.

00:08:43Keep my self to me.

00:08:54Welcome everyone, you look fantastic.

00:08:57After two perfect scores last weekend, expectations are high tonight.

00:09:02So let's get started.

00:09:04First up, with an Argentine tango, it's George and Alexis.

00:09:07we are at his majesty's theater where they perform phantom of the opera hi guys welcome

00:09:19i'm dean i play the phantom and i'm lily i play christine we are dancing phantom of the opera

00:09:24this week and we are doing an argentine tango to it so i would love your tips on just channeling

00:09:30the character i think for you george it's what's really important to remember is everything about

00:09:34him is so precise everything comes from the soul and you'll feel that i like that yeah so he does

00:09:39everything with with breath and all these movements are specific i feel like it makes a lot of sense

00:09:45with the argentine tango it was interesting to see how even though they're not dancing there is a sort

00:09:51of element of dance about it he gets as close as he can and then i was told a lot about being nice

00:09:57and deliberate with movements bring back this from your hand i understand the character more i

00:10:03understand what we're trying to portray just a little gift from us oh well thank you very much

00:10:08that's really cool there's a phantom mask so today was such a special experience and i feel like we've

00:10:13learned so much about the characters and now i want to take all of that and let's put it in the training

00:10:18window

00:10:18the argentine tango i think it's a very precise done if you're not precise you're gonna go away with a lot

00:10:26bruises on your shins i'll give a nice like shoom down you're taking what you want i think the advice

00:10:33that we got earlier in the week definitely has helped eye contact not to the touch i feel like

00:10:38there's definitely moments where i just lock in and i just try and become the phantom this is tension

00:10:42that's like our first like real eye contact the phantom of the opera is one of the most sort of iconic

00:10:48musicals it feels like there's big shoes to fill there so hopefully i can do that that was good

00:10:55dancing the argentine tender george clark and alexis wall

00:12:32oh

00:12:33Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:13:03Oh, oh.

00:13:05Well done.

00:13:07Oh, God.

00:13:09What a moment.

00:13:11Just close that up for a moment.

00:13:13Close it up.

00:13:15Goodness me.

00:13:17What a reaction in the studio.

00:13:19For your very first time up in the show.

00:13:22I could see you were really in the zone then, weren't you?

00:13:25Yes.

00:13:27You still there?

00:13:29I feel like I'm awake now, yeah.

00:13:31I think you make an excellent phantom.

00:13:34What do you think, Motsi?

00:13:35Well, first of all, I have to say well done to all the couples.

00:13:38That opening was absolutely sensational.

00:13:40I mean, honestly, it was.

00:13:44And I feel like that it set the tone.

00:13:47I mean, this year for me is the year of dancing.

00:13:50And you opening the show like that with such a conviction,

00:13:55with the sensitive part in the beginning of the dance.

00:13:57And I just have to give Alexis a compliment.

00:14:00Girl, you were flying in the air and swimming.

00:14:05And I think that you could only do such type of movements

00:14:11if you trust your partner, if you have

00:14:13someone with such strong partnering skills that is there.

00:14:17And you know I can let go, plus the characterization that you.

00:14:21I think the mask helped you a little bit today.

00:14:23You're like, I'm behind the mask.

00:14:25I can do it all.

00:14:26So it was a lot of fun.

00:14:27I love the energy in that.

00:14:29Well done, guys.

00:14:30Thank you very much.

00:14:31Great.

00:14:31Cheers.

00:14:32Come on.

00:14:33Shirley.

00:14:34Well, I like this side of you.

00:14:36This seriousness, the precision of leading,

00:14:40of being able to hold with the right and the left,

00:14:43and understanding where two body weights meet together.

00:14:46And I agree with Motsi.

00:14:48You being able to do what you did, Alexis, is down to the fact

00:14:51that he is totally in control of what he's doing.

00:14:53Absolutely.

00:14:54And I love the whole ambiance of it, just the character.

00:14:58It was seamless.

00:14:59I really enjoyed it.

00:15:00What a great start to the night.

00:15:03And you've been working so hard on that precision.

00:15:06We know that.

00:15:07Anton.

00:15:08I was taken aback by your intensity at the beginning.

00:15:10I love this.

00:15:11This is the George I really enjoy.

00:15:14I like to really laugh and having a lovely time.

00:15:15But when you were here, and you were on the balcony there,

00:15:17and you were all serious, you didn't look.

00:15:19I thought, yes.

00:15:21Come on, George.

00:15:22This is great.

00:15:23I want this.

00:15:24All right, here.

00:15:25Then you came down.

00:15:27I love this about you.

00:15:28Because it transferred into the dance.

00:15:31And so you had an intensity of your partnering.

00:15:33I've complimented your partner through the whole series.

00:15:35This has been your greatest skill,

00:15:37is your quality of partnering.

00:15:38It's a sort of a natural thing, which

00:15:40has enabled Alexis to do some wonderful lifts and tricks.

00:15:44Brilliant.

00:15:45All because of you, as the girl said.

00:15:46But the intensity was the thing that struck me.

00:15:49I loved it.

00:15:50I want more of this.

00:15:52Please.

00:15:53Thank you, George.

00:15:54Well done.

00:15:56What about you, Craig?

00:15:59I thought the footwork was a little untidy.

00:16:02I've got to be honest.

00:16:04It was a little bit sticky from step to step.

00:16:07I felt like you were shuffling sometimes

00:16:09into the lifts to gain purchase.

00:16:12I would like to see a little bit more of an A-frame,

00:16:15like the Argentine tango in it.

00:16:17It's difficult music.

00:16:18I get that.

00:16:19I think you handled the music particularly well,

00:16:21particularly the slow bit.

00:16:22And then finding the rhythm within the dance.

00:16:26But the lifts were absolutely excellent.

00:16:29You had power, control, and proper drama.

00:16:33Thank you so much.

00:16:35Well, the judges think you're a great leading man, George.

00:16:38Congratulations.

00:16:38Thank you very much.

00:16:39Go and get your scores.

00:16:40Thank you so much.

00:16:42Thank you so much.

00:16:44Thank you very much.

00:16:48George and Alexis first time opening the show nerve-racking or charming um nerve-racking definitely

00:19:50on Saturday night I felt very emotional I immediately thought about my mum and blew her kiss and then it was that was a little bit of a challenge for me to hold it together I never thought we would have got 40

00:20:04hey it is your first ever 40 for both of you thank you so much if there's anything that could humble a 40 and a couple's choice it's doing an innocent dance to a cha cha and finishing last

00:20:48and eight

00:20:49samba has a most complex rhythm so different steps has a different timing different footwork but I have a faith and confident in her

00:20:58and the fire

00:20:58the look of this dance is as important as dance itself and I really need Karen to take

00:21:08this element of fun and the colors into our dancing

00:21:11what is going on this theme is about freedom it's about the colors it's a time for a fashion show

00:21:20Carlos is in his element he loves his song he loves the dress up he loves the vibe

And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat. It's a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet. Rhythm in your bed and rhythm in the street. Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat.

00:22:41Lift your wings and fly to Daddy. Lift your wings and fly to Daddy. Fly, fly, fly to Daddy. Take a dive and swim to Daddy.

00:24:17You give it everything and that's why we love you for that.

00:24:20You look gorgeous.

00:24:21Thank you, Carla.

00:24:22Always bring in the rhythm to life.

00:24:24Yes.

00:24:25It's our brilliant Dave Arch, his band, and our fantastic live singer.

00:24:28Woo!

00:24:29Thank you, Tommy Blaze.

00:24:31That was amazing.

00:24:32Oh, it was so amazing.

00:24:33You're right, Carla.

00:24:35And the samba is a tough dance.

00:24:37I know.

00:24:38It's the quarter-finals, Shirley.

00:24:40What do you think?

00:24:41Well, I personally love the whole production of it.

00:24:43I want to say that, first of all.

00:24:44Do you want to point out some things to you?

00:24:46But a lot of ladies come through this competition.

00:24:49But your sense of balance, for me, is absolutely off the chart.

00:24:54Let me explain.

00:24:56In this third section here, you had a right or a left underarm turn.

00:25:00You actually missed the turn, but you didn't miss the balance.

00:25:03That's impressive for me, I have to say.

00:25:05Your spins, your chemistry together, syncopated,

00:25:08a quarter-jacka, you didn't even just do what was playing in the book,

00:25:11you upped it another level.

00:25:13You had the bounce when it came to the Croissatus walks and locks.

00:25:16You attempted the shadow role.

00:25:17I thought, all in all, you are quite the force to be reckoned with in my opinion.

00:25:22Oh, thank you so much.

00:25:24You're good.

00:25:27No, Ryan, it's fine.

00:25:29Anton, this is the samba you enjoyed.

00:25:31I could see your face.

00:25:33I feel as if you're going to do a samba, this is exactly the samba.

00:25:37You want to choose Musicals Week and throw everything at it.

00:25:41Have a thousand people, have streamers, have stuff going off all over the place.

00:25:46You missed his hand on the spin, but you spun anyway.

00:25:50I got that. I'm balanced.

00:25:51It turns out I don't need you, I'll keep spinning.

00:25:54I'm fine.

00:25:55I've realised now you're sort of in the way.

00:25:57I'm just going to spin.

00:25:59Don't touch me.

00:26:00Don't touch me.

00:26:01It's great.

00:26:02I'm all right, thank you very much.

00:26:03You did a thing at the end here as well, and you were on the same foot.

00:26:07Now, I'm sure that you're supposed to be on opposite feet, but I sort of didn't mind,

00:26:11because it went so well.

00:26:13Beautifully timed.

00:26:14I mean, your execution is, as it always is, it's absolutely bang on.

00:26:19Your energy is off the charts, but it's all placed in the right place.

00:26:23I just loved, loved, loved it.

00:26:30Great.

00:26:31Well, I'll start with the positive.

00:26:32I think that will relieve everyone of their winter blues, darling.

00:26:35Number one, the bounce was fantastic.

00:26:38Your spinning is out of this world.

00:26:41For me, it was a little bit frenetic and too busy,

00:26:44and I felt like you were trying to keep up with it.

00:26:46You're also a little bit stiff in the body, just through the midsection.

00:26:53But what a fantastic dance.

00:26:58Not good.

00:26:59I mean, if we are going to speak about your wonderful spins,

00:27:04then I'm just going to add one spin here.

00:27:06It was absolutely sensational.

00:27:08You went into a spin into prominent runs.

00:27:11That is so difficult, and you pulled it off like,

00:27:15Neil, you get a partner next year, and I'll be careful which numbers I'll be pulling.

00:27:20You really attacked that dance because the conviction of you doing every single rhythm in there,

00:27:34there were multiple different rhythm changes that were really, really difficult.

00:27:38Your solo spots were so, so strong.

00:27:41I would have left a little bit more of the hips moving, but you were convincing.

00:27:48Thank you so much.

00:27:50Great comments.

00:27:51Shirley said it.

00:27:52You are a force to be reckoned with.

00:27:54Thank you so much.

00:27:56I know you want to be in the semi-final.

00:27:57Really good luck with your scores.

00:27:58Thank you so much.

00:28:01Thank you very much.

00:28:09I love you.

00:28:11I love you, Kaz.

00:28:14You were really worried about the samba, weren't you?

00:28:16Yeah, I mean, I haven't got the hips, but I was trying to shake what my mama gave me,

00:28:21but I literally, my aim was, it might not be my strongest, but I gave everything.

00:28:27I literally attacked it.

00:28:28You did.

00:28:29You did.

00:28:30I was never having a regret on anything.

00:28:31I went for it, so I'm happy with that.

00:28:33Yeah, good girl.

00:28:34It was an exhausting routine.

00:28:37Am I wrong?

00:28:38Yeah, this one, I was pretty gassed at the end, and I have to really, really push, dig deep,

00:28:43and he's really challenged me, and that was pretty hard aerobically for me, but, like

00:28:48I said, I'd give it everything.

00:28:49Yeah, you really did.

00:28:51Carlos, it was so much more than just the steps this week, wasn't it?

00:28:54Oh, 100%.

00:28:55It was not only the dance itself, it's the character, it's the costume, it's the

00:29:00everything that music's about, and she, she really absolutely gave it everything.

00:29:05Like, the way she looked at me, I was like, Kat, just look at me, having fun.

00:29:08Come on, Kat, back to Kat, back to Kat.

00:29:10I was like, give me everything, and she did.

00:29:12Okay.

00:29:13You have no idea how crying.

00:29:14Almost prefer it when you cry.

00:29:16I'm joking.

00:29:17We have a video from a huge fan of yours.

00:29:21Have a look.

00:29:23Oh, my gosh.

00:29:24Kaz Karni.

00:29:25I don't know what to say.

00:29:26Mild-mannered Kaz Karni turns into dancer extraordinaire, one of the

00:29:29best dancers I've ever seen on that show.

00:29:32Yes.

00:29:33Just want to wish you all the best of luck.

00:29:35Everybody's so proud of you.

00:29:36Yes, right.

00:29:37We are so proud of you.

00:29:38Where did these moves come from, Kaz?

00:29:40I love it.

00:29:43He is an absolute legend.

00:29:46Good luck to both of you.

00:29:48Scores are in.

00:29:50Will the judges please reveal their scores?

00:29:52Come on.

00:29:53Craig Revelhall.

00:29:54Eight.

00:29:55Yes.

00:29:56Take that, take that.

00:29:57Motsi Mabuse.

00:29:58Eight.

00:29:59One.

00:30:00Shirley Ballas.

00:30:01Nine.

00:30:05Anton Dubin.

00:30:06Nine.

00:30:07If you love Kaz and Carlos tonight, then you can show your support for them later.

00:30:15Voting will open at the end of the show.

00:30:18Still to come, Amber and Nikita request.

00:30:20We all, we should do it now.

00:30:21Quite tricky in this dress.

00:30:22Oh, sit down.

00:30:23Please sit down.

00:30:24Please.

00:30:25Anyone.

00:30:26Sit down.

00:30:28This is comfy.

00:30:29It's not tests.

00:30:30Next tonight, we are heading to a grand theatre for a performance inspired by the greatest

00:30:35showman.

00:30:36Now, I hope everyone's going to behave themselves because there's nothing worse at the theatre

00:30:40than some unruly audience members.

00:30:41Marty, darling.

00:30:42Making a scene.

00:30:43Stop.

00:30:44Marty, come on.

00:30:45Come on.

00:30:46Come on.

00:30:47Come on.

00:30:48Come on.

00:30:49Come on.

00:30:50Sorry.

00:30:51Come on.

00:30:52See what I mean?

00:30:53No, sorry.

00:30:54Keep going.

00:30:55Tess, which means the loo.

00:30:56That way.

00:30:57Go.

00:30:58Excellent.

00:31:01With a Viennese waltz, it's Val Vendor and Julian on the stage.

00:31:08It's musicals week.

00:31:10Val and I have won five dance-offs to get here.

00:31:13Making it to the quarter-finals is a bonus upon a bonus, a bonus, a bonus, a bonus.

00:31:18It's extraordinary.

00:31:19I don't feel like the woman that I used to be.

00:31:22So we are doing a song from The Greatest Showman.

00:31:26Never enough.

00:31:27I, of course, will be Hugh Jackman.

00:31:30My mum always said that I look like Hugh Jackman.

00:31:32Maybe he'll see this and, like, he'll be like, that's the new me.

00:31:35And I could be his understudy.

00:31:36Yeah, maybe, Jules.

00:31:38I wanna raise it up.

00:31:40I'm challenging Val in terms of the rotation of the steps.

00:31:43One, two, stop!

00:31:45I'm not quite getting the natural and pivot combination that travels us around the room.

00:31:52It's just kind of repeating that motion and then not kind of getting tangled within your feet.

00:31:58The Greatest Showman is a wonderful musical and I wanna get it right.

00:32:02Now, in order to take our routine to the next level, we are at Come Alive, The Greatest Showroom.

00:32:11Hello, Val, Vinda and Julian.

00:32:13Welcome to the circus.

00:32:17How's everything going?

00:32:18Yeah, we're kind of cracking it and it's fun.

00:32:21How do you want your audience to feel when they've watched it?

00:32:24I think that this is a number for us to come out and show that, like, you know, we're here, we're proud to be here.

00:32:30And truthfully, it's been a dream to do the show for 21 years.

00:32:33I can't wait to see it.

00:32:36You wanna do the switch?

00:32:37Yes.

00:32:38Please, can we do it?

00:32:39You can have the whole thing.

00:32:40Strictly really is the place where dreams are made.

00:32:42Yeah, exactly.

00:32:43Why do you believe in?

00:32:46The song Never Enough, I think, is really poignant for our journey.

00:32:49I want the audience to come on this journey with us and for them to realise that we are enough.

00:33:02Dancing the Viennese Waltz, Valvinda Sopal and Julian Cahill.

00:33:13I'm trying to hold my breath, let it stay this way, can't let this moment end.

00:33:36All the shining of thousands red lights.

00:33:40All the stars we sail from the sky will never be enough.

00:33:48Never be enough.

00:33:52Thousands of gold are still to me.

00:33:56These hands could hold the world, but it'll never be enough.

00:34:04Me will never be enough for me.

00:34:10Never, never.

00:34:17Never, never.

00:34:20For me.

00:34:23For me.

00:34:25For me.

00:34:26For me.

00:34:28Never enough.

00:34:32Never enough.

00:34:34Never, never, never enough.

00:34:40For me.

00:34:42For me.

00:34:44For me.

00:34:53For me.

00:34:56For me.

00:35:13This is for your stage.

00:35:15This is for you.

00:35:24I'm so proud of you. You deserve that.

00:35:28Oh, well, Linda. Hello.

00:35:31I can see you're quite emotional.

00:35:34That was so beautiful. You deserve that.

00:35:37You do deserve that. I love your storytelling.

00:35:40Thank you. You move me every time. Thank you.

00:35:43What do you think, our greatest showman, Anton?

00:35:46I think I love you now. Well, more than ever now.

00:35:52I have to tell you this.

00:35:56Firstly, congratulations, because this was epic.

00:36:00This was an epic performance.

00:36:03When you're going into the theatre,

00:36:07or you're walking onto stage doing a musical,

00:36:09you want to make an entrance. Making an entrance is everything.

00:36:13And as you walked on, you looked absolutely stunning.

00:36:17You walked on, and you held your position there,

00:36:20and you started the number.

00:36:22And the whole room just went straight into you.

00:36:25You brought everybody in. It was an exquisite beginning.

00:36:29This is a huge song. Sung beautifully, by the way.

00:36:33Yeah, it was an exquisite.

00:36:34This is a huge song.

00:36:36And I would have been enormously disappointed

00:36:39if you'd crept round the floor and wasted this song,

00:36:43and you didn't.

00:36:44You bombed round the floor.

00:36:46You swept across the floor.

00:36:48You had enormous shift.

00:36:50You danced with a freedom that I've only seen in your instant dance performance.

00:36:57You were magnificent. I absolutely am.

00:37:01Thank you, Anton. Thank you.

00:37:03Thank you. Thank you.

00:37:07I had a problem with your arms.

00:37:09They need to extend from the body, not just the shoulder.

00:37:13You have a tendency on the right arm to do it beautifully,

00:37:17but the left arm seems to be left behind.

00:37:19I don't know why.

00:37:21Your left shoulder sometimes was raising up.

00:37:24Only twice or three times that happened.

00:37:26I'm being really particular because we're, you know,

00:37:29we're getting on in the competition here.

00:37:31You're still a little bit turned in on occasion.

00:37:33I can see that you've corrected it.

00:37:35On the final lift where the one toe should remain on the floor at all times,

00:37:40which is absolutely correct, you were just a little bit sickled.

00:37:43If you had have just turned that out.

00:37:45Sorry. I'm so sorry.

00:37:47No, but when you're in a ball gown, darling,

00:37:49the only thing we can see is your ankle and your foot.

00:37:52So it's really important what the feet and the hands are doing, that's all.

00:37:55But it had flow.

00:37:56It had feeling.

00:37:57It had emotion.

00:37:58You are a fighter.

00:38:00You're right, Martin.

00:38:04Well, Linda, honestly, we were just holding hands with Shirley throughout that dance.

00:38:10Really, from the very minute you started and your dance partner,

00:38:14his name is Julian, came over.

00:38:17Just reminding my perimenopause brain, you know.

00:38:21I have to get going.

00:38:24So when he came in and you went completely soft and you went completely upset,

00:38:29you were so sensitive to each other, you were in a different type of feeling.

00:38:36And I felt like whatever you wanted to say for the last weeks came out through that dance.

00:38:43It must be really demoralizing what you have been through in this competition.

00:38:51But at the same time, for me, oh, now I have to go with that.

00:38:56You're so emotional.

00:38:57I'm gonna give her a laugh.

00:38:58My darling.

00:38:59Come on, Moxie.

00:39:00Come on, Moxie.

00:39:01Come on, Moxie.

00:39:02Come on, Moxie.

00:39:03Come on, Moxie.

00:39:04Come on, Moxie.

00:39:05Come on.

00:39:06I'm sorry.

00:39:07I'm so proud of you.

00:39:08You did amazing.

00:39:09You're so amazing.

00:39:10I'm so proud of you.

00:39:11I'm so proud of you.

00:39:12I'm so proud of you.

00:39:13I'm so proud of you.

00:39:14And you did on your own.

00:39:15Of course.

00:39:16See?

00:39:17OK.

00:39:18I'm really proud of you.

00:39:19We all are.

00:39:20Uh, Shirley.

00:39:21You all right, my darling?

00:39:22Well, first of all, I just want to say that you are always so put together.

00:39:26And for me, long after this competition, you will always be a hero for me.

00:39:30Because, again, like she said, going through what you go through and coming back to dance,

00:39:36that kind of performance, I had chills.

00:39:38Anton and I and Moxie, we were just...

00:39:40It was sensitivity, grace, charm, beauty, determination, sensitivity of finish,

00:39:47particularly in all the areas where you're connected.

00:39:50I didn't see the left hand.

00:39:51I saw the right.

00:39:52I saw the left.

00:39:53I saw the feeling.

00:39:54I saw the touch.

00:39:55I just loved it.

00:39:56You were great.

00:39:57Well done.

00:40:00Thank you, Danielle.

00:40:01Just calling.

00:40:03You know what, my lovely?

00:40:04Yeah.

00:40:05I'm good.

00:40:06You deserve all of those comments.

00:40:08Yes.

00:40:09I know how hard you've worked.

00:40:10Really, really good look at the scores.

00:40:12Love you to bits.

00:40:14Well done, guys.

00:40:18Yes.

00:40:19I wanted to come down and cuddle you.

00:40:20It's a lot, right?

00:40:21It's a lot.

00:40:22Yes.

00:40:23And then Moxie got out and cuddled you.

00:40:25I know.

00:40:26But you never complain.

00:40:27You get back in there.

00:40:28You're also doing a full-time job and you work so incredibly hard.

00:40:29How did you find that?

00:40:30That was extraordinary and I have waited all competition for that feeling.

00:40:31And I'm so grateful.

00:40:32I'm actually really grateful for what I've heard tonight and it's just, it's blown my heart.

00:40:35It's gorgeous.

00:40:36Thank you, you're amazing.

00:40:37Jules, it was really important for you to, for Bao to lie.

00:40:38I know.

00:40:39You're so grateful.

00:40:40I know.

00:40:41I'm so grateful for that.

00:40:42I'm so grateful for that.

00:40:43I know.

00:40:44I know.

00:40:45You're so grateful for that.

00:40:46I know.

00:40:47I know.

00:40:48But you never complain, you get back in there.

00:40:49You're also doing a full-time job and you work so incredibly hard.

00:40:50How did you find that?

00:40:51That was extraordinary and I have waited all competition for that feeling.

00:40:55And I'm so grateful.

00:40:56I'm actually really grateful for what I've heard tonight and it's just, it's blown my heart.

00:41:00It's gorgeous.

00:41:01Thank you, you're amazing.

00:41:03Jules, it was really important for you to, for Bao to love this and to do justice to that song.

00:41:09Yeah, I mean, what, you're, boss words, you are such an incredible woman and I just, when I was putting the piece together, I wanted her to finish on her own.

00:41:18Just because, we're always together and we always speak about, you know, our strength as a partnership, but I wanted her to, sorry, I wanted her to finish, stood there and saying,

00:41:28I am Balvin de Sopal.

00:41:29I am proud of my journey.

00:41:31I deserve to be here and I am, and you are more than enough.

00:41:34You're going to get us all going.

00:41:37You are.

00:41:38I believe that.

00:41:39You are.

00:41:40You are.

00:41:41You are.

00:41:42You're extraordinary.

00:41:43And if you're feeling emotional now, I have to mention your nieces, Florence and Amelia.

00:41:48Yeah.

00:41:49They love you, they love The Greatest Showman.

00:41:51They've sent you a message.

00:41:52No.

00:41:53Bina Musi and Gillian.

00:41:54We love you on Strictly Come Dancing.

00:41:55We love you on Strictly Come Dancing.

00:41:56And The Greatest Showman.

00:41:57And we're so proud of how far you've come.

00:41:58Team Ballym.

00:41:59Oh.

00:42:00They're so strong.

00:42:01They're so proud of you.

00:42:02Good luck.

00:42:27That is your highest score.

00:42:28Well done.

00:42:32Let's do good coffee.

00:42:33I have to stop now.

00:42:34It's going to be Tuesday.

00:42:35To help Alvinder and Jules get through to the semi-final, please vote for them.

00:42:46You can do that later on tonight when voting opens.

00:42:49Still to come, Lewis and Katia close the show with a West Side Story salsa.

00:42:55Quite tricky to say.

00:42:56It was your birthday this week.

00:42:58George, where are you?

00:42:59Hello.

00:43:00It was your birthday this week.

00:43:01Come forward.

00:43:02We would like to say happy birthday.

00:43:03There we go.

00:43:07Yes.

00:43:08Eat it.

00:43:09Eat it.

00:43:10Eat it.

00:43:11Eat it.

00:43:12Eat it.

00:43:13Eat it.

00:43:14Eat it.

00:43:15Eat it.

00:43:16Eat it.

00:43:17Eat it.

00:43:18Eat it.

00:43:19They're not going to eat it.

00:43:20Neil.

00:43:21Oh, no.

00:43:22Yay!

00:43:23That's all we wanted.

00:43:25Yay!

00:43:26Eat it.

00:43:27Apologies to wardrobe.

00:43:28Test.

00:43:29We all love a theme week on Strictly, but nobody has been more excited about tonight than our next star.

00:43:42She is a massive musical theatre fan and her love of musicals is something that very much runs in the family.

00:43:47It is Amber and Nikita.

00:43:55Last weekend was unbelievable.

00:44:01I'm in the policy club.

00:44:04I'm going to put that on my bio on Instagram.

00:44:07I'm incredibly proud of Amber.

00:44:09We love it.

00:44:10I'm doing a Charleston.

00:44:13Yeah.

00:44:14I'm doing a swivel.

00:44:15I am so happy that I've made it to musicals week.

00:44:17Life's a musical.

00:44:18I live, eat and breathe musicals.

00:44:20They're the best thing since sliced bread.

00:44:24In this Charleston, we have to hit the same precise lines that are very, very fast.

00:44:29Up, up and up.

00:44:30I'm struggling with this bottom swivel.

00:44:31A swivel is a little bit like this.

00:44:35And, you know, it has to be so clean.

00:44:38It's a hard routine, but I think Amber's love for musicals is giving us a lot of great energy.

00:44:44Where is your love for musical theatre that came from?

00:44:48It was my older sister.

00:44:51I had to call her.

00:44:53Hi!

00:44:54Hi, girl!

00:44:55Are you okay?

00:44:56Jade's in Shanghai at the minute on tour with Les Mis.

00:45:03Oh, that's incredible.

00:45:04So, how is the Charleston going?

00:45:06I do love it.

00:45:07Just keep doing what you're doing.

00:45:09You know, this is your forte.

00:45:11You know how to embody a character.

00:45:14There's no explanation to how proud I am.

00:45:17So...

00:45:18Aww.

00:45:19I owe every thanks and gratitude to my older sister because it was you that brought this world into our household.

00:45:28I want to wish you all the love and luck in the world for this weekend.

00:45:33After speaking to my sister, I am so ready to go out there.

00:45:37I am going to give it my all.

00:45:39Dancing the Charleston, Amber Davis, and Nikita Kutzen.

00:45:51I dreamed last night I got on the boat to heaven

00:45:56And by some chance I had brought my dice along

00:46:00And there I stood

00:46:03And I hollered, someone save me

00:46:06But the passengers, they knew right from wrong

00:46:12For the people all said,

00:46:14Sit down, sit down, you're rocking the boat

00:46:17The people all said,

00:46:18Sit down, sit down, you're rocking the boat

00:46:21As the devil will drag you under

00:46:23Fight the sharpe of the pound of your checkered coat

00:46:25Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down

00:46:27Sit down, you're rocking the boat

00:46:29Sit down, you're rocking the boat

00:46:32Sit down you rockin' the boat

00:46:34Sit down you ring at the bone

00:46:36Sit down you rockin' the boat

00:46:38Sit down doo-doo-doo

00:46:40Sit down doo-doo-doo

00:46:44Sit down doo-doo-doo

00:46:48I say that shot a baby

00:46:48But I'm going to eat bop, bop, bop, bop!

00:47:18I'm going to eat bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop!

00:47:48I'm going to eat bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop!

00:47:50Oh my God!

00:47:51Oh my God!

00:47:52Oh my God!

00:47:53Oh my God!

00:47:54Oh my God!

00:47:55That was amazing!

00:47:57I mean, what a show!

00:48:00I think you just rolled the house down!

00:48:05That was incredible!

00:48:07Thank you, Jess!

00:48:09Thank you!

00:48:10I am no judge Craig, but I thought that was brilliant.

00:48:15Too clean, I thought too neat.

00:48:19The swivels were perfect.

00:48:23The timing and execution was flawless, darling.

00:48:27An absolute sensation!

00:48:30It was perfect!

00:48:31Perfect!

00:48:32I thought you were saying bad things!

00:48:33Yes!

00:48:34We all did!

00:48:35I thought you were saying bad things!

00:48:36Yes!

00:48:37We all did!

00:48:38I thought you were saying bad things!

00:48:39Yes!

00:48:40We all did!

00:48:41I thought you were being a Craig!

00:48:42We all did!

00:48:43Oh, that's good!

00:48:44Thank you, Craig!

00:48:45It was good!

00:48:46Motsu!

00:48:47I have never ever seen anything like that!

00:48:52One word, perfection!

00:48:53That's it!

00:48:54Thank you so much!

00:48:55Woo!

00:48:56Come in!

00:48:57Shirley!

00:48:58Well, of course, destined for the West End with a number like that.

00:49:01It reminded me a bit of the Insta-dance.

00:49:03Absolute chaos!

00:49:04The backing dancers, I want to congratulate them!

00:49:06Yes!

00:49:07Yes!

00:49:08Because they were also absolutely stunning!

00:49:09Yes!

00:49:10Amazing!

00:49:11And you, Amber, an absolute star in every sense of the word.

00:49:16I mean, you flying up in the air, you're going over it.

00:49:19Everything you did was absolutely fantastic!

00:49:21Cheers!

00:49:22Thank you!

00:49:23Cheers!

00:49:24Thank you so much!

00:49:25Thank you so much!

00:49:26Anton!

00:49:27Well...

00:49:28There's nothing left to say!

00:49:29I mean, it's...

00:49:31You did the group dance earlier at the beginning of the night

00:49:35and I watched it from the side and I thought to myself,

00:49:38Wow!

00:49:39You said...

00:49:40This is a bit...

00:49:41Brilliant!

00:49:42And I thought, well, that's...

00:49:43That's about as good as it's going to get tonight.

00:49:44That was absolutely astonishingly good.

00:49:46But it turns out, no, you were saving yourself for later.

00:49:49This was so brilliant!

00:49:51I don't think I've seen anything like this.

00:49:53I mean, we say this a lot over the years.

00:49:54Oh, well, I've never seen a dance better.

00:49:55I would be...

00:49:56It was very difficult to find a dance better than this.

00:49:59Yes!

00:50:00Ever!

00:50:01In the history of Strictly Come Roundup!

00:50:02Wow!

00:50:03So brilliant!

00:50:05So brilliant!

00:50:06Brilliant!

00:50:07My...

00:50:08My only disappointment about the whole thing is I can't give you 25.

00:50:12Aw!

00:50:13Brilliant!

00:50:14Well done!

00:50:15Thank you!

00:50:16Thank you so much!

00:50:17You know you've been waiting for me!

00:50:19I love it!

00:50:20I love it!

00:50:21I'm so glad you got those rave reviews!

00:50:23Thank you!

00:50:24Thank you!

00:50:25Thank you!

00:50:26Amber and Nikita, how about that?

00:50:27Thank you!

00:50:28Love you!

00:50:29Woo!

00:50:30Woo!

00:50:31Woo!

00:50:32Woo!

00:50:33Woo!

00:50:34Woo!

00:50:35Woo!

00:50:36Woo!

00:50:37Woo!

00:50:38Woo!

00:50:39Can you get over those comments?

00:50:41I mean, Anton said he has never, ever in his life seen a dance better.

00:50:45I can't believe that.

00:50:46I was very confused, not gonna lie.

00:50:48He thought Craig hated it!

00:50:50Well, no.

00:50:51Because he started off with too clean and you were like...

00:50:53And I was like too clean!

00:50:54No!

00:50:55I messed it up!

00:50:56I thought it was better if it's clean.

00:50:57How was it having your two worlds collide?

00:51:03Do you know what?

00:51:04This week has been madness for me.

00:51:07And today especially, watching my incredible contestants,

00:51:11fellow contestants, get into their roles and transforming.

00:51:16I felt like every single time I look at them, I could well up.

00:51:19It's just the most amazing feeling.

00:51:21I have converted George.

00:51:23George, have you not been Oliver for the past four days?

00:51:26Maybe.

00:51:28Clever you.

00:51:30This is your favourite theme week, Nikita.

00:51:31Oh, close by a mile.

00:51:33I love Musicals Week.

00:51:34I think Musicals Week is what it's actually strictly about.

00:51:37You know, we're dancing, we're singing, we're a bit cheesy.

00:51:40We are so happy.

00:51:41I just, I think the atmosphere of Musicals Week is just extraordinary.

00:51:44And the extra dancers, we love them.

00:51:47I know, the extra dancers were...

00:51:48I bet they threw you up in the air.

00:51:50I cannot do that.

00:51:51He had to look away when they threw me up for the first time.

00:51:54But to have extra energy on the floor...

00:51:58Yeah, extra everything, yeah.

00:51:59It's a feeling I can't explain.

00:52:02It's like, it's like oomph.

00:52:03Yeah.

00:52:04Do you know what I mean?

00:52:04Oomph.

00:52:05We love oomph.

00:52:06We love oomph.

00:52:07We have a very special good luck message for you.

00:52:09Have a look at this.

00:53:00Details of how to vote for any of tonight's couples are on your screen now.

00:53:04Just scan the QR code or head to the website to get ready to vote at the end of tonight's show.

00:53:11Congratulations, Tess.

00:53:13Oh, I love a 40.

00:53:15Our final star is taking on one of the biggest musicals of all time, West Side Story.

00:53:21It has themes of rivalry, passion and revenge.

00:53:25And he's hoping to channel all of that with tonight's performance.

00:53:28Guys, that's actually quite distracting.

00:53:31Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

00:53:33Sorry, darling.

00:53:34With the salsa, it's Lewis and Katya.

00:53:37What are you like?

00:53:43For our musical, we are doing West Side Story.

00:53:48Iconic.

00:53:49Isn't it the one about the yellow brick road?

00:53:51No, so it's the sharks and the jets trying to figure out how they're going to live together, basically.

00:53:58On the streets of New York City, the dance at the gym is where you try to sort the conflict for dance.

00:54:07I love how choreography is created, like to show that challenging each other's side.

00:54:11Yeah.

00:54:11That's us in purple, Anita and Bernardo.

00:54:16He's got rhythm.

00:54:17He's really showcasing it there.

00:54:20Can I play a different character then?

00:54:22They are claiming their territory.

00:54:24Let's try and claim our place in the semi-final, shall we?

00:54:28One, two, salsa.

00:54:31Now, our salsa is an action-packed routine.

00:54:38It is very quick.

00:54:39You know, there's a lot of different tempo changes and energy changes within the dance,

00:54:43so I need to get my head around all of that.

00:54:45Don't rush seven, eight.

00:54:48My hips, man.

00:54:49Need a bit of lard.

00:54:51Craig said last week.

00:54:53The hips, I thought, lacked a little bit of fluidity.

00:54:55That is something I'm going to try and take on board and put into this dance.

00:54:59Oh, wait.

00:55:00That big?

00:55:01Yeah.

00:55:04Bernardo is the leader of the Sharks.

00:55:06He has to be assertive.

00:55:08And this dance has to get me through to the semi-final.

00:55:12So I'm going to give it my absolute hug.

00:55:14Shake it, suck it, suck it, suck it, suck it.

00:55:16Yeah!

00:55:19Me head nearly fell off.

00:55:20Dancing with the Salsa.

00:55:26Lewis Cope and Katya Jones.

00:55:28Oye, Javi, ponle fuego.

00:55:32Vamos!

00:55:33Go!

00:55:42Go!

00:55:43Go!

00:55:44Go, go!

00:55:45Go, go, go!

00:55:52Go!

00:55:55Mambo!

00:56:25Mambo!

00:56:55Mambo!

00:57:17Mambo!

00:57:19Thank you!

00:57:21Thank you!

00:57:23You're so humble!

00:57:25It's scary, scary!

00:57:27Woo!

00:57:29Oh my goodness!

00:57:31He threw everything into that!

00:57:33Thank you!

00:57:35Thank you!

00:57:37He's so humble!

00:57:39It's scary, scary!

00:57:41Oh my goodness!

00:57:43He threw everything into that!

00:57:45Thank you!

00:57:47He's so humble!

00:57:49The effort you put into every routine,

00:57:51it's just something to behold!

00:57:53Something magical happens!

00:57:55What do you think of that soul, Samotsi?

00:57:57Wow! Wow!

00:57:59I think actually it's the first time I see you after a dance,

00:58:01actually breathing.

00:58:03You always thought about the dance,

00:58:05and you're just like so chilled,

00:58:07but this time, this is really, you pushed it physically.

00:58:09There was so much content in this dance,

00:58:11and I was really trying to follow you.

00:58:13Where is he? Where is he?

00:58:15A star within the dance.

00:58:17That is something absolutely sensational,

00:58:19with so many great dancers next to you.

00:58:21You did a great job!

00:58:23Thank you!

00:58:25Shirley!

00:58:27I kind of agree in certain places that it was okay,

00:58:31but it wasn't your best dance for me, by far.

00:58:33That's okay!

00:58:35Please let me explain.

00:58:37It was where you were running,

00:58:39and you couldn't quite get where you were going.

00:58:41There was missed connections on all these hustle things.

00:58:43I know them very well.

00:58:45You looked a little bit tight,

00:58:47and as you said at the end,

00:58:49you're breathing while you're facing,

00:58:51but while you were dancing,

00:58:53it really needed to exhale and go.

00:58:55But was the dance fantastic? Yes.

00:58:57There was a lot to like. Thank you.

00:59:01And Tom?

00:59:03You have this incredible physicality as a dancer.

00:59:07You come out, and it's all sort of going,

00:59:09and it's all sparkly,

00:59:11and masculine,

00:59:13and ooh, touch me now,

00:59:15and ooh, I'm a little bit sweaty,

00:59:17and I quite like it.

00:59:19It was perfect for this dance,

00:59:20and it was perfect.

00:59:21The characterisation was amazing.

00:59:22Come down there.

00:59:23Wham!

00:59:24And you give it all that.

00:59:25Come on, girl.

00:59:26And all of that.

00:59:27And it was...

00:59:28So the side-by-side stuff,

00:59:29the musical theatre stuff,

00:59:30was strong.

00:59:31Ooh!

00:59:32And ooh!

00:59:33Nice.

00:59:34The partnering stuff wasn't...

00:59:36It needed to be a bit more subtle.

00:59:38Needed a bit more nuance,

00:59:39and that suffered because of it.

00:59:41But all in all, I mean...

00:59:44I mean, yes.

00:59:45I'd rather liked it, I have to say.

00:59:48Well done.

00:59:49Lewis, I know you've been working on those hips

00:59:53for a certain someone.

00:59:54Yes.

00:59:55Uh, well, the basic salsa,

00:59:57I thought, was just a little bit square.

00:59:59I can see that you've worked on your hips,

01:00:01but there wasn't any type of figure-eight rotation in there,

01:00:04which softens it off and makes it melty, you know.

01:00:08Um, the footwork was slightly turned in at times as well,

01:00:12which doesn't help it.

01:00:14Uh...

01:00:15Things weren't finished in this.

01:00:17Yeah.

01:00:18Bizarrely, like the double arm wrap.

01:00:20You didn't come to a complete end on it.

01:00:22I didn't know where the picture was meant to be.

01:00:24And I'm sort of on the side of Shelley.

01:00:27I don't think it actually is your best dance.

01:00:29We have seen you dance better.

01:00:31I mean, I love your energy.

01:00:32The turns in second, I mean, hello, are incredible.

01:00:35I mean, there's not many people can do that.

01:00:38You have a tag, power, darling, and a lot of punch.

01:00:41So, congratulations.

01:00:44Well, we know that you always listen to what the judges say.

01:00:46You always take it on board.

01:00:48And we know you want to be in the semi-final.

01:00:50So, good luck with those scores, Lewis.

01:00:52We loved it.

01:00:54Well done, Lewis.

01:00:55You loved this dance, didn't you?

01:00:56I didn't tell them comments.

01:00:57No, no, no.

01:00:58I'm only joking.

01:00:59Yeah, I did.

01:01:00I thought it was really fun.

01:01:01I was enjoying the sort of playfulness and trying to recreate the scenes from the film.

01:01:17Yeah, I really enjoyed it, yeah.

01:01:19I know you're incredibly grateful for the extra dancers as well, aren't you?

01:01:23Yeah.

01:01:24You're so lovely.

01:01:25And you just enjoy being out there, a whole gang of you.

01:01:27I love just being there with a big groove.

01:01:29It's like being at home with me brothers, I think.

01:01:31Yeah.

01:01:32You know, that sort of energy that they bring, it just lifts me to, like, a new level.

01:01:36So, yeah, I couldn't have done it without them.

01:01:37Thank you, though.

01:01:38Yeah.

01:01:39Tell me your motto of the week, is it?

01:01:41And also, is it your motto for life?

01:01:42I mean, it's motto for life.

01:01:44More is more.

01:01:45Everybody knows.

01:01:46I've just been looking for a partner who can match me.

01:01:48Yeah.

01:01:49And finally, a fun one.

01:01:50Yeah.

01:01:51All my life I've been told, less, Cassie, less.

01:01:53Never.

01:01:54More is more.

01:01:55There it is.

01:01:56There it is.

01:01:57We have a very special video for you.

01:01:59Have a look at this.

01:02:00Aw, stop.

01:02:12Good luck.

01:02:14We adored it.

01:03:15Please welcome Tom Fletcher and a very special guest.

01:03:18And a special guest.

01:03:35So close I can almost hear him calling out my name.

01:03:41So close pretty soon my life won't ever be the same.

01:03:45Nobody guessed that an explorer and a bear could be the perfect pair.

01:03:57So close I can almost see him open up the door.

01:04:01And this hat tells him I'm the one that he's been waiting for.

01:04:06And he'll share all his stories until his throat is hoarse.

01:04:15So I'll make him a sandwich.

01:04:19Marmalade of course.

01:04:20He'll show me things I've never seen.

01:04:24Well I've never been.

01:04:27There's no greater team out there.

01:04:32And when the two of us combine.

01:04:36All the stars will shine.

01:04:37All the stars will shine.

01:04:39You won't ever find a pair.

01:04:42That compares to the explorer and the bear.

01:04:48I don't know where he's hiding.

01:04:49But I know that I'll find him.

01:04:50And then we'll be just like a family.

01:05:04You say let's stay together.

01:05:06All day.

01:05:07Always.

01:05:08Whatever the weather.

01:05:10This way forever and ever.

01:05:16Please welcome Paddington.

01:05:20You'll show me things I've never seen.

01:05:30Where I've never been.

01:05:33There's no greater team out there.

01:05:37And when the two of us combine.

01:05:41All the stars will shine.

01:05:44You won't ever find a pair.

01:05:49There will be laughter in the air.

01:05:52You'll be glad I'm there.

01:05:54Nothing can compare to the explorer and the bear.

01:06:19Thank you so much to the magical Paddington bear.
