00:26You're such a talent and it's so brilliant to watch you dance
00:30Mistakes are no mistakes. You had one of the best jive action. She swivel was fantastic, and I love the way you sell everything
00:37Mistake I can forgive three mistakes. Yeah, I am not mother Christmas
00:42Get springs in your knees. This was an outstanding dance that dance just got you into the Champions League
00:49Sorry my nose. No, it's not mine. It's borrowed. Oh, no, it's not
00:58It's time to instant dance all our couples will be asked to improvise a dance on the spot
01:04I love strictly and I love live television
01:13We'd like to see this every week please some of them dance better
01:17They did earlier on
01:21An instant dance was so much fun and then we've all got to be part of the result show and that's not nice for any of us is it?
01:29No
01:29Anyone doesn't matter where they're out on the leaderboard could end up in the bottom two what will be will be hey, Sarah Sarah
01:35You tell us this is so amazing
01:38You tell us this is so amazing
01:40You tell us this is so amazing
02:06Welcome to Strictly Come Dancing at the results an incredibly
02:10Incredible Saturday night saw two perfect scores from Karen and Amber and Lewis was crowned the first ever instant dance champion now
02:18No one left the competition last week, but tonight the dance-off is back after two weeks of judges leaderboards two weeks of your votes and
02:27An instant dance it all comes to a head tonight for one couple this will be the end of the road
02:34But first let's see what the judges thought of week 10 in the ballroom
02:40What a night it was off the charts even I was excited
02:50We actually had to 40s absolutely amazing if anybody wanted to know if instant dance would be a success the crowd
02:58Loved it. We loved it. The whole thing was bad
03:01The six extra marks have been very important for the leaderboard
03:08It's taken Lewis and catch it to the top which they wouldn't have been on just last week in this week's marks combined
03:17Karen and Carlos have really put themselves in the mix now for the final she's just gone on a trajectory that is just fantastic
03:23I wanted this to be a celebration and Carlos said let's go out and have some fun instant dance was absolutely brilliant, but I don't want to do again
03:32I thought Lewis and Katia's rumba was a very beautiful lyrical rumba it just needed a little bit more flow through the body
03:42Through the body, but otherwise a good dancer here myself. That was heartwarming. It was just such a lovely dance
03:49The instant dance was super fun. It's a big all right. All right. Honestly this guy the state of that jive was insane
04:00Amber's jive that was such a brilliant dance the energy was through the roof
04:05I am in disbelief our 40 the instant dance. I thought just go for it
04:20George has been so hard on himself. He's really doing well. He's improving. This was a great performance from him
04:26I realize I need to stop beating myself up because it went all right
04:31I think I'm just aware that it's got better in the past
04:33It's brilliant scar brilliant. That's thank you
04:38The instant dog
04:41That's the first time I've laughed in the middle of a dance
04:44Valvinda made a few mistakes. I mean never makes mistakes mistake and the parts that were good for kicks and flick was so so strong
04:54I made quite a few mistakes in the jive that managed to bring it back. You know, we didn't lose it completely
04:59The instant dance we had a chance to come back and just go there is still fire in the belly
05:06It was a shame for alex because there was a lot to enjoy about her dance great leg action
05:11The timing was good. Her execution is generally good
05:15I've never made mistakes like that before but you know what?
05:18There's a first time for everything isn't there? I didn't think the instant dance was as bad as I thought it was going to be
05:25I can cling on to a few rumba steps
05:30This is how it all looks with the combined scores, but ultimately it is going to be up to the public
05:37We've done our bit now. It's in the hands of the people at home who will they choose as their quarter-finalists
05:54Everyone's working super hard. Nobody wants to go home
05:58One's always had that feeling of never knowing whether one's secure or not
06:02The level is so much higher. There's no way of predicting what's going to happen
06:10You never want this experience to end
06:14We threw everything out on the dance floor. That's all we can ever do
06:20I am not ready to go home if we find ourselves in the bottom two we'll go out there and we'll dance our hearts out
06:25There is no feeling like standing there waiting to hear your name be called out
06:43Six levels are on the brink of the strictly quarter-final who has secured their place the results have been independently verified and are in
06:55In no particular order the first couple safely through to next week's show is
07:13Karen and Karlof
07:15And the second couple back to dance again is
07:39Amber and Nikita
07:45Congratulations, you are through to our musical special for the rest of you the wait continues. Let's chat to the judges
08:04Shirley you have the casting vote once again. How does it feel to be back in the hot seat?
08:09Well, it's all for me. It's not the nicest place to be because all the celebrities and the professionals have been absolutely outstanding
08:17So I'm just hoping that they all agree and I won't have to send anybody home
08:23Anton we are 10 weeks now into the competition all of our couples have worked so hard to get this far
08:29It's tough now, isn't it to win the dance-off. Oh, it's yes. It's tough. They're all dancing incredibly well
08:35And on Saturday night, we had a situation where it wasn't a perfect night for some of the couples
08:41So whoever's in the dance-off and if it happens to be a somebody who didn't have a perfect night gives them the opportunity
08:47To dance better and without mistake this gives them that opportunity to put it right
08:52Thank you
08:54Lord is with our first quarter finalists
08:59Thank you
09:01Very happy and
09:04Relieved couples you both got 40 on Saturday night
09:12That's very exciting my favorite thing has test said your name and you look so shocked you never take it for granted
09:18No, I've been in tournaments where we've done in games and group games have been flying and then we get a sucker punch and you're out
09:26So I never take anything for granted and we've always said the only thing we can control is who we are and how much effort
09:32We put in the rest we don't know and so I'll never take it for granted and I'll always say to him every week
09:38I'm really nervous and that will never change she humbles me by saying that every week
09:42Absolutely, um, how are you feeling about something? You know what?
09:47I'm a bit emotional still because it obviously was a massive hurdle for me, but really proud and the crowd were incredible
09:55So it was amazing at the end
10:01So happy we wanted to celebrate Kaz some people are incredibly proud of you and they wanted to send you a video. Have a look at this. Okay

11:25With you doing the jive. It's it's a it's magical
11:29I never thought I'd have this experience in my life, you know
11:33So I just I'm still not over it
11:36And I also convinced myself I do this every week cause I convinced myself I'm in the dance-off every week just to prepare
11:43Uh, so I still can't believe we've made it through to musicals week. You have everything everything is just
11:50Un-be-lievable. Yeah gorgeous. You must be so happy to be through to musicals week. If there was one week

15:32With you
15:35The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
15:48It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
16:05Thank you so much to OT and our professional dancers. Now, in the spirit of instant dance, I picked tonight's debrief topics out of a hat. We'll be discussing the French Revolution, cats and Latin adverbs. Please welcome the judges.
16:35There is nothing I didn't enjoy about that. First off, instant dance.
16:46Round of applause.
16:48It's the most magnificent thing to have ever been a part of. It was just chaotic, fun. Everybody did very well. It was just fabulous.
17:01I totally, totally loved it and I was delighted to see that the celebrities took it all on board and actually quite seriously.
17:09They did, yes. I thought they were going to be mucking around. They wanted the six points. No, but it was good, yeah. It was really fantastic.
17:15And also, I don't know about you. I thought, oh, they'll give it a go, but they're novices and then they pulled that out. I absolutely loved it.
17:23There were so many surprises, things I didn't expect and everybody was alive in a whole different way. Like, you know, they were in the moment and we had fun.
17:32It was just amazing. I loved it. Let's talk about the top two couples, Shirley, for you, because it was so close, you said.
17:39Let's talk about Lewis. Let's talk about Balvinda as well, who you loved.
17:43Well, Lewis came out then. He was on fire. And when Balvinda came out, she just got hold of that dress. She did a flamenco.
17:51She didn't want to go anywhere. She was in it. Absolutely in the moment. She was fantastic, didn't you?
17:59Oh, I loved it. I mean, I looked at your face and looked in shock. Well, they used a dress just to start with and then, you know, a dress that you haven't had on.
18:05So, it's quite an interesting thing, you know, and she has been sort of flatlining and I think at the moment she's really powering through.
18:14She's really going for it. We've never had this many forties at this stage in the competition.
18:20Why did you get your ten out for Kaz? Because I couldn't criticise it. I loved what she did. She really surprised everybody.
18:30I mean, I was shocked when she went into this particular section, you know, the street stuff. I just went, wow, where did that come from?
18:37And every week she comes and surprises us more and more. I just loved it. I thought she was brilliant.
18:43She was, absolutely. Thank you so much.
18:46Motsi, I'd love to ask you about George because you've said now he's controlling the dances rather than the dances controlling him. Explain.
18:57Well, I feel like his confidence is growing. He seems like he knows what he's doing.
19:02He seems like he knows what we want from him and he's got very high expectations on himself.
19:07But that's OK. At this time in the competition, it's OK to push yourself a little bit more.
19:12And he's actually taking part in the competition. He's competing for a spot in the final. You can feel it. I love that.
19:18OK. Thank you so much. Anton, I wanted to ask you about Amber. I was so happy for her.
19:24You said you couldn't write anything in your notebook. No. Somebody once said to me, energy sells.
19:29And this, but it's got to be the right amount. Over a period of time, you realise that it's not only energy.
19:36It's got to be the right amount at the right time and done in the right way.
19:40And she had this wonderful swing section at the beginning, which was smooth and silky.
19:45And then she kicked off and it was sustained. It was timed. It wasn't. I mean, I think you referenced it.
19:51It wasn't out of control. Just madness. Yes. There needs to be great speed, great energy and great control.
19:58And we keep talking about this word. And she had it all last night.
20:02And I thought she brought the whole thing together and produced a brilliant dance.
20:06All right. Thank you so much. I think we can say everyone enjoyed Instant Dance on Saturday night.
20:12Mainly youthful. Have a look.
20:14We're doing karaoke now. The judges are singing. Paul's dancing.
20:21I mean. Absolute dancing. We'll have a little bit of one. Off you go. Get dressed. Thank you.
20:29It's your favourite, Nikita. Whenever. Whenever. Whenever. It's Shakira.
20:37You're on very different height now. This is Monty's cushion.
20:48As the navigation. Don't mind us.
20:52It was tremendous. Thank you so much. Let's hear it for the judges.
21:08Now, next week, it's the final theme week on Strictly.
21:11Please, have a look at this.
21:26We've been working so hard. Tomorrow, tomorrow, it's only a day away.
21:32Oh, tell me what I got.
21:33I've got to see.
21:35It's the circle of life.
21:36Lisa, can I have some more?
21:38Tell me still holding me down.
21:39Be calm and bienvenue. Welcome.
21:43Lisa, I can't stop it. What is it?
21:58Tonight I've got to cut loose, put loose, kicked off my Sunday shoes.
22:02Please, Louise, pull me off my leave. Jack, get it back, everybody, everybody, cut
22:10off my leave. George, it's an all-you-can-eat buffet.
22:13Oh, sorry. I just got caught up in Musicals Week.
22:23All of our couples want to make it to Musicals Week, but there are only three
22:27places left. It's time to find out who is in the dance-off. Tess.
22:33Thank you, Claude. Two couples are in danger of losing their place on Strictly,
22:38but who will face the dance-off? Alex and Johannes, George and Alexis,
22:45Balvinda and Julian, and Louis and Katya. I'm about to announce who must go head-to-head
22:51to stay in the competition. Good luck to you all.
22:59I can now reveal that the first couple in tonight's dance-off is...
23:08Balvinda and Julian.
23:21And the couple they'll be up against in the dance-off is...
23:24Alex and Johannes.
23:35George and Alexis, and Louis and Katya, well done.
23:38You are safely through to our musical special.
23:42Alex and Johannes, and Balvinda and Julian, I'm so sorry.
23:46Please come and join me.
23:55Balvinda, genuinely so sorry to see you here. It's always a tough place to be. Are you OK?
24:01Yeah. You know, the fates are sealed. Whatever happens, happens.
24:04Alex, it's your first time in the dance-off. How are you feeling?
24:07Yes, it is. I actually feel exactly as Anton said, I feel like it's my opportunity to give this dance
24:16another go and to just prove to myself and to Jojo that I can actually get through it.
24:26Let's hear from the judges.
24:28Motsy, these couples are really close on the leaderboard on Saturday night,
24:31so what is your advice for them now?
24:33Well, it's a mindset game at this point. How much do you want to make it into the next round?
24:39What are you willing to give to make it to the next round?
24:42And whoever has control of their mind, control of their nerves, control of the music, wins this game.
24:48It's easy as that. And all I can say to you guys is give your ultimate best.
24:52There's no time for thinking. There's no time for rehearsing. It's now or never.
24:59Clay, there is a place in the quarter-finals at stake. There's an awful lot riding on this dance-off,
25:06isn't there?
25:07Yeah, you have to really use this dance-off to fight to get to the next level. You really do.
25:14Balbindi, you were absolutely fantastic Saturday, so go in feeling strong and confident.
25:20And Alex, as you say, a perfect opportunity to show the world what you can really do.
25:26Thank you. Thank you, judges. We're all behind you guys. Really, really good luck in the dance-off.
25:32We'll see you a little bit later on. Claude is with our final saved couples.
25:36Thank you, Tess, and congratulations. Lewis and Katie, before anything, we need to talk about
25:44instant dance because it was electric. How did you do that? How did you talk about us? I was talking about
25:51everybody. Yes, but you won it. Everybody was amazing, but we have to talk about your extraordinary moves.
25:59We just, I know it was ten weeks ago, but we just looked at each other and we just like,
26:04the routine, we just try and go for the routine again. And then we just get each other. I said,
26:09well, if you see the loop, just go for it. The timing was extraordinary. Musicals week next week.
26:16Are you excited? Yes, I can't wait. I think it's going to be, all the themed weeks seem to kind of
26:21lift everyone up, so I think that'll be another one of them. Katia, tell me what dance you're doing
26:25and to which musical? We are doing The Salsa from West Side Story.
26:34I'm recording that. Thank you, just cannot wait. And congratulations, quarter finalists.
26:41Now, George, we need to talk about instant dance. My favourite thing that you've said,
26:46take that coat off. Those are words that came out of my mouth. Yes.
26:49I put the button on, not thinking, I was like, oh, this is going to be like a cool reveal.
26:55And then, because it was such a furry coat, the button sort of got lost in there. I had to just rip.
27:00Yay!
27:01Oh! Give it a little, give it a little, give it a little, didn't it? It did.
27:06Oh, that's what went flying on the floor. I completely forgot the outfit had on as well.
27:10It was extraordinary. You can be completely honest with all of us, we're friends here, we're a group.
27:15How do you feel about musicals? Oh, I love them so much. I hate them. Yeah. Yeah.
27:21I just sort of skip the music parts. Yeah. As if I'm watching them, like, on a TV,
27:24I don't just sort of get up and go to the toilet if I'm at, like, a theatre. Yeah.
27:27You were like, goodnight. Oh, this week's going to be so fun. No, this week. Sorry. Yeah.
27:34This week is going to be amazing. Please tell me what dance he's doing and to what musical.
27:38So, hopefully this will get you a little more excited and enthusiastic. Yes.
27:42We are doing an Argentine tango. Good. And I will give you a hint. Oh!
27:48Oh! Oh!
27:51We have now put it on, like, put it into this. It's a shitty, shitty bang bang, isn't it?
27:54Is it Casper the Ghost?
27:56What is that? Put it down. Put it down.
27:58Put it down.
27:59Just a bit lower.
28:01Your head's too big for this. There we go. That's gorgeous.
28:03Yeah, that's lovely. Oh, yeah, beautiful.
28:05Are you imagine? You're going to have quite the week, George.
28:08Thank you all. A massive congratulations. I love that.
28:13To the dance-off. But first, some music.
28:16Please welcome the magnificent, Miles Smith.

33:47What a great day.
33:58Alex and Jojo have done all they can.
34:01Performing next with their jibe is Balvinda and Jules.
34:20Oh, and it's alright and it's gonna be fun.
34:24We're gonna get right back to where we started from.
34:27Hell, it's good.
34:29Hell, keep it strong.
34:30We're gonna get right back to where we started from.
34:40Do you remember the day
34:43When you first came our way
34:46Said no one could take your blame
34:52When you get hurt
34:55By the little things I say
34:58Take that smile and call your face
35:03Ooh, when it's alright and it's coming on
35:07We're gonna get right back to where we started from
35:10Love is good, love can be strong
35:13We're gonna get right back to where we started from
35:18Ooh, when it's alright and it's coming on
35:23We're gonna get right back to where we started from
35:28Love is good, love can be strong
35:30We're gonna get right back to where we started from
35:34Ooh, when it's alright and it's coming on
35:37We're gonna get right back to where we started from
35:40Love is good, love can be strong
35:43We're gonna get right back to where we started from
35:46Alright and it's coming on
35:49We're gonna get right back to where we started from
35:52Love is good, love can be strong
35:55We're gonna get right back to where we started from
35:58Starting by, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
36:05You're amazing. You're amazing.
36:20Both couples have given it their all,
36:23but someone must leave the ballroom.
36:26Judges, it's over to you.
36:28Based on that dance-off alone,
36:34I'm about to ask each of you the name of the couple
36:36you think deserves to stay and why.
36:38The couple with the most votes will remain in the competition,
36:41meaning the other couple will leave Strictly Come Dancing.
36:44In the event of a tie, our judge with a casting vote,
36:47that is you this week, Shirley, will have the final say.
36:53Anton, we'll start with you.
36:55Who do you want to send through to Musicals Week and why?
36:57Well, I really enjoyed, I'm sure they didn't,
37:01but I really enjoyed this dance-off
37:03and I'm delighted for both couples
37:05because they danced the dance the way they would want it to have danced it.
37:09It was without fault, all the steps were correct,
37:13so I'm thrilled for both couples.
37:15But for me, the couple I'd like to save, just for it being a slightly better quality dance,
37:21will be Alex and Johannes.
37:23Craig, who do you think deserves to stay in Strictly and why?
37:33Oh, it's a difficult one actually this week.
37:35Alex, it was wonderful seeing your dance complete and correct.
37:41It was lovely.
37:43Valvinda, you really danced the pants off that, darling.
37:47But to save for timing and energy, Valvinda and Julian.
37:55One vote apiece.
38:01Motsi, who has secured your vote and why?
38:05Yeah, that was a very, very difficult dance-off and like Anton said, no mistakes.
38:11Everybody very well in the music.
38:15For me, there was one couple that had a little bit more attack to the dance,
38:19so I'll be saving Valvinda and Julian.
38:27Two votes to Valvinda and Julian and one vote for Alex and Johannes.
38:33Shirley, this week you have the casting vote.
38:36The person you decide to save will be going through to the quarter-final.
38:40Who would you like to see in the ballroom next week and why?
38:44Well, first of all, both couples were a pleasure to watch
38:47and error-free within the choreography.
38:50I did think that one couple up their game a little bit more
38:54and it had a little bit more spice.
38:56It was a difficult choice for sure.
38:59But on this occasion, I will be saving Valvinda and Julian.
39:05Valvinda and Julian, congratulations.
39:09You are quarter-finalists.
39:11That means we are, of course, going to have to say goodbye to Alex and Johannes.
39:17Please come and join me.
39:19Come on over, Alex.
39:21I'm sorry, my darling.
39:23Oh, poor heart.
39:25It's OK.
39:26I'm so sorry to see you go.
39:28No, no, no.
39:29Just ten minutes on Strictly.
39:31You've come such a long way.
39:32Yes, absolutely.
39:34I mean, I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would last this long.
39:39And it's been just the most incredible, as Anton always says, it's the journey.
39:45And it has been the most incredible journey for me.
39:49So I sort of feel quite proud of myself because I've learned to dance and I've really loved the process.
40:00And, I mean, 100% I couldn't have done it without this man who, I mean, everybody always says of their dance partner that they'll be a friend for life.
40:07But JoJo really, really will be a friend for life.
40:16JoJo, Alex, she's always given 100%, hasn't she?
40:21I mean, what would you like to say to her?
40:25Because I have never grinned this much in my life for the past couple of weeks with you.
40:31Thank you, Alex, for being a trooper.
40:33Yeah.
40:34I appreciate the laughs.
40:36I'll hold on to the memories.
40:38But as far as the dancing goes, I think we've achieved what we both wanted to achieve.
40:43Yes, and these memories are just the beginning for us.
40:45You can say that again.
40:47Bye to my Strictly family.
40:49I love you too.
40:51I love you too.
40:53To my Strictly family, I'm forever grateful.
40:57Thank you, thank you, thank you.
40:59We are really going to miss you, Alex, and we just love having you here.
41:04You'll be missed.
41:05If you don't mind taking your place for one final spin on the dance floor.
41:07Yes, absolutely.
41:08Absolutely.
41:09Absolutely.
41:14It's lovely.
41:15It's lovely.
41:16It's lovely.
41:17It's lovely.
41:18It's lovely.
41:19It's lovely.
41:20It's lovely.
