00:02It's gonna be epic.
00:04I'm just gonna go for it.
00:06It's time to get my costume on.
00:08I'm being shimmed up to glimmer in the night.
00:11The musicals are about to begin.
00:14My heart's going pitter-patter.
00:16Musical week in three, two, one.
00:22Too clean, too neat.
00:25An absolute sensation.
00:29I thought you were saying bad things.
00:31Yes!
00:32Hey!
00:33Was the dance fantastic?
00:35Yes.
00:36Was it your best?
00:37Not in my opinion.
00:39You were magnificent.
00:41I absolutely am.
00:43What you have been through in this competition.
00:47Oh, my God.
00:49I'm sorry.
00:51Aw.
00:52It was a little bit phonetic and too busy,
00:55but what a fantastic dance.
00:58Where did these moves come from, Kaz?
01:00Hi!
01:01Hi!
01:02I love this.
01:03This is the George I really enjoy.
01:06Oh, God!
01:07Everyone!
01:12Everyone's giving it everything.
01:14You just don't know which way it's gonna swing.
01:16I've never seen the leader but so packed together.

01:20No one feels safe.
01:21Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination.

01:55Welcome to Strictly Come Dancing the results on Saturday
01:58It was a very exciting leaderboard with Amber and Nikita getting a perfect 40 and a score of just one
02:05Separating our other four couples with only two weeks to go until our champions are crowned
02:10Everything is on the line who will make it through to next week's semi-final
02:15You've had your say and tonight two couples will take on the penultimate dance-off of the series
02:21But first, let's see what the judges thought of our night at the musicals
02:31What a night of musical magic I think this is one of the most amazing
02:37Quarterfinals we've ever had I think we had a really diverse range of dance routines really
02:43I mean look at Karen's you know that was quite wild for her
02:46Lewis had sort of everything in there but vendor she's really come up the ranks hasn't she
02:51Amazing George was serious for the first time and of course the big old showstopper of Amber and Nikita's Charleston
02:58I mean what an exciting evening
03:00It was you can see it by how close the leaderboard is Amber's perfect 40 means she sits at the top of the leaderboard
03:07Amber's dance with Nikita was absolutely ridiculously
03:15Brilliant 10 I would have been completely wrong. I think to not give that a 10 because it was just extraordinary
03:21We got a 40! We got a 40! You're slashed it aren't you?
03:26On musicals week
03:30George from the beginning he meant business
03:32I think it was the first time that I actually saw that he wants to be into the semifinal
03:37He doesn't want to be in the dance-off and the dancing spoke for itself
03:40And to see him so focused was quite surprising to me because he's always a bit of a giggly fella
03:45There's literally five people and three of us got the exact same score
03:48Balvin and Julian I mean what a night of emotion
03:54She's been in there quite a few dance-offs and she's championed her way through it
03:59That actually was Balvin's highest score of 35
04:02If you want a scale of improvement, Balvin will be the top
04:05That went beautifully
04:08I love the applause
04:10Incredible
04:13As we know Lewis and Katya fantastic dancers every week they bought the A-game
04:19But today somehow it was not his best dance
04:22I mean I was probably rushing a little bit and I kind of need to relax a little bit more
04:26But I think I was just enjoying the dance too much and I needed to just chill out a bit
04:30I thought that Karen Carlos' samba was a super dance for musicals week because they brought the show with them
04:44It did miss a few connections though with arms and fluidity
04:47Well to be fair on bottom of the laser board but I
04:51It's so close though
04:52It's so close
04:53And what will be will be
04:58Next week is the semi-final two dances
05:00Two dances
05:01Yeah, that's gonna be harder next week for them and the competition is strong
05:05This is gonna be all down to the people at home, isn't it?
05:07What came through their TV screen?
05:08And Maltzy, darling, you've got to make the decision
05:11What happened?
05:12This is tremendous news
05:13I'm sad now
05:14I'll always be nervous
05:21I think every resort show I'm petrified
05:24You always have to be prepared and you always have to be ready
05:27The competition is so tight and everybody's very good at dancing now
05:40All we can do is just keep our fingers crossed
05:42Waiting under the light for the results to be revealed
05:45My breath is always short and I have to remind myself to just breathe
05:52This will determine who gets into the semi-final
05:55That makes me nervous
05:57I hope that I've done enough this week
06:01The leaderboard is so tight
06:03I could not tell you how the results show is gonna go
06:21A fantastic night of dance
06:23But who have you decided deserves to stay in Strictly Come Dancing?
06:27Let's find out the results are in
06:34In no particular order the first couple with a place in the semi-final is
06:39Balbinda and Julia
06:42Thank you!
06:50Thank you!
07:00And the second couple joining them in next week's show is
07:24Karen and Carlos
07:30Thank you
07:32Oh my god
07:34Thank you
07:36Oh my god
07:38It's amazing
07:42Balvinda and Julian and Karen and Carlos, congratulations. You are semi-finalists. Let's chat to the judges
07:50Motsi, I don't think any of the other judges envy you because you have the casting vote tonight, don't you?
08:00I have the casting vote and if I see the couples left I am truly shocked. It's gonna be a tough decision
08:08I mean, I hope that the other judges come to some sort of conclusion together so that I don't have the weight of the quarterfinals on my shoulders
08:18Anton, it was a really tight leaderboard so it's gonna be a very competitive dance-off, isn't it?
08:24At least whoever it is that ends up in the dance-off, you haven't got a face Balvinda
08:30So I mean
08:32So you've dodged a bullet there, let's be honest
08:34If we lose any of you, you will be
08:38One of the best dancers we've ever had on Strictly Come Dancing to not make the final
08:44You're all amazing
08:50Thank you so much
08:52Claudia is up with our first two semi-finalists
08:56Thank you, Tess
08:58All I can say is I don't think I've ever sat next to two more shocked human beings
09:05Balvinda, what do you want to say to the people who want to make you and have made you a semi-finalist?
09:12Firstly, I think I need to just say a huge thank you to every single person that has been on this journey with us and
09:20Deemed as worthy of getting to the next stage, like just thank you, thank you, a thousand thank you
09:27Thank you
09:29Honestly, like, I'm shocked
09:31You worked so hard, you never let being in the dance-off hold you down and Saturday night was magical
09:39How did it feel for the two of you?
09:41Yeah, I think I am
09:43I think we just went out there and just gave it our all
09:47I think literally our hearts were on the dance floor
09:49You know just before we were
09:51Well always before a performance about gets a little bit nervous
09:54Yeah, we always kind of try and pump each other up
09:56But you know I said bow who are we?
09:58You know and I said who are you?
09:59And bow was like I'm Balvin de Sopal, I'm a fighter and I am enough
10:05And so, yeah
10:07Well you've received some lovely messages from people, tell me about them
10:13Yeah, I mean lots of inspirational messages from people that look like me
10:19Yeah, teachers have sent messages to say we need to be teaching this kind of perseverance
10:25This level of determination to our children dust yourself off get up and try again, you know
10:31So that's kind of kept me going
10:33It's just yeah, we're doing it for all the little people out there that can you know the stars are
10:39I don't want to put adapter on things but you are doing two dances next week. How does that make you feel?
10:50Two dances?
10:52And we can't improvise any of them
10:54Yeah, that's a shame
10:56Well, bring it
10:59Yes, good girl, that's all I wanted
11:01That's all I wanted
11:03Val, one of your dances next week is a salsa

13:12Uh-uh
13:13Cicero
13:15Lipschitz
13:17And now the six married mistresses of the Cook County Jail
13:23Squish
13:24In their rendition of the Cell Block Tango
13:27Cicero
13:28Pop
13:29Six
13:30Squish
13:31Cicero
13:32Lipschitz
13:33He had it coming
13:35He had it coming
13:37He only had himself to play
13:40If you'd have been there
13:42If you'd have seen it
13:44I bet you would have done the same
13:48You know how people have these little habits that get you down?
13:52Like Bernie
13:53Bernie, he liked to chew gum
13:55No, not chew
13:57Pop!
13:58So I said to him
13:59I said
14:00You pop that gum one more time
14:03And he did
14:04So
14:05I took our picture off the wall
14:07And I smashed it
14:10Smashed it all over our bed
14:13He had it coming
14:14He had it coming
14:15He had it coming
14:16He had it coming
14:17I bet you you would have done the same
14:20He had it coming
14:23I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake City about two years ago
14:27And he told me he was single
14:29We hit it off right away
14:31But oh no, he had six wives
14:34You know, some guys just can't help themselves
14:38It was a drama but not a crime
14:42It's his own actions
14:43Now I'm standing in the kitchen
14:45Carving up the chicken for dinner
14:47In storms my husband Wilbur
14:49In a jealous rage
14:50And he kept on screaming
14:52You've been seen the milkman
14:53And then I cut him out my life
14:56I cut him out my life
14:58For the last time
15:01If you'd have been there
15:03If you'd have seen it
15:05I bet you you would have done
15:07You'd have done the same
15:09How did you find it?
15:10They say that my famous loved one
15:12Would have killed my husband
15:14And he lost his mind
15:16But they didn't understand
15:18Yeah, but did you do it?
15:20Uh-uh
15:21Not guilty
15:26My sister Veronica and I had this double act
15:29And my husband Charlie traveled round with us
15:32So this one night before the show
15:34We were down at the hotel Cicero
15:36And we ran out of ice
15:38So I go out to get some
15:40I come back
15:41Open the door
15:42And here is Veronica and Charlie
15:44Got red-handed
15:47Well, it wasn't until later
15:50When I was washing my hands
15:52I even knew what I did
15:54How could you tell me that I was wrong
15:59I loved Al Lipschitz more than I can possibly say
16:02But he was always trying to find himself
16:04He'd go out every night looking for himself
16:07And on the way he found Roof, Gladys, Rosemary and Irvin
16:12I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences
16:15He saw himself as in my life
16:17And I saw him gone
16:19THE DIRTY BOMB
16:29DIRTY BOMB
16:31DIRTY BOMB
16:32DIRTY BOMB
16:36Enjoy ...
16:39I said you'd tell us that we were wrong
16:43He had it coming
16:45He had it coming
16:46He only had to blame
16:50If you'd have been, if you'd have been
16:52If you'd have seen, if you'd have seen
16:54I'll tell you you would have done the same
16:57Pop
16:59Sex
17:01Squish
17:03Uh-uh
17:05Cicero
17:07Lipschitz
17:37Thank you to choreographer Elizabeth Honan and our professional dancers for that amazing routine
17:45It's now time for a dance debrief and to quote the musical Mamma Mia
17:49Here we go again, please welcome the judges
18:04Thank you very much
18:07First up, what did you think of musicals week?
18:10Please
18:12Absolutely off the chart
18:14I mean, we were saying earlier on it was just absolutely spectacular
18:18In every way, wasn't it?
18:20Well, I love musicals as well and how they dance was absolutely brilliant
18:24Yeah, absolutely
18:26Moxie, I love the fact that you got up and you gave Valvinda a hug
18:30She is safe, she is a semi-finalist
18:32Wow
18:33How proud were you of her?
18:35Well, I mean, the story is that we all can learn from Valvinda
18:40It's never to give up
18:41And I mean, she kept going into the dance floor
18:44And to come out like this with such quality
18:47And also with such motivation and elegance
18:50And she didn't want to go home
18:52And she was like nobody's gonna beat me down
18:54And she fought for her place in the semi-final
18:56And well, these are that
18:58Yes, thank you very much
19:00Um, Shirley, I'd like to ask you about Kaz
19:04I love her dance, you gave her a nine
19:06And she missed Carlos' hand, but she still carried on spinning
19:10Totally through that
19:11Well, I've admired her balance from day one
19:14I never see this lady off balance at all
19:16And she missed his hand
19:18She did a spin anyway
19:20And landed spot on her balance
19:22Because she's unique in balancing
19:25It's absolutely fantastic to watch
19:27Thank you so much
19:29Great
19:30You got out a ten paddle again
19:32I know, I'm disgusted with myself
19:34I really
19:36So upset
19:37I was looking for something, darling
19:39But you got the ten out for Amber two weeks in a row
19:42Yeah
19:43You loved her Charleston
19:44We didn't know which way you were going
19:46First of all you were like, it's too clean
19:48I'm going to tell you the truth
19:49Okay
19:50I was in two minds
19:51Because a Charleston can be too clean
19:53And then look clinical
19:54Rather than improvised
19:56Every swivel was there
19:58It was perfect
19:59And not only that
20:00She played the character so well
20:03Throughout the whole thing
20:04Wow
20:05And I was thinking
20:06No, actually
20:07There was absolutely nothing wrong with that
20:09That is fantastic
20:11Um, Anton
20:13Double dancing
20:14Yes
20:15Next week
20:16You've been there
20:17I have
20:18What is your advice to this election?
20:19Well, for me
20:20When we get to this point
20:21The game changes
20:22I always felt
20:23It became tactical
20:24Yeah
20:25And I looked at the two dancers we had
20:27And my thought was
20:29Now this is sort of hardcore competition stuff
20:31Yeah
20:32What is going to win me a dance-off?
20:34Not what's going to make me top of the leaderboard
20:36It's the dance-off that counts
20:38So I've focused a lot of the time
20:41On one particular dance over the other one
20:43And put all my eggs in that basket
20:45And it was reasonably successful for me
20:47That is actually
20:48That's brilliant advice
20:49Thank you
20:50Thank you
20:51You never won no darling
20:52No, but then
20:53You never won or got a ten ever
20:54But still
20:55Well, I got ten
20:56Thank you
20:57You got ten
20:58You got ten
20:59Anton
21:00I gave you your only ten
21:01You gave me my ten
21:02I don't even know who that is
21:04At the end there
21:05OK
21:06Thank you judges
21:08APPLAUSE
21:09Now with the final fast approach
21:12And the competition ramps up yet again
21:14Did someone say double dancing?
21:16Have a look at this
21:17I remember how I felt
21:22The first time I danced in week one
21:24And for the very first time I was trippified
21:27Then the weeks rolled back
21:32Movies
21:33Icons
21:34Halloween
21:35Guest mentors
21:36Blackpool
21:37I don't know if I've experienced a better Blackpool than this
21:40And creative moments that we'll never forget
21:43That is epic
21:44Lowdown in history
21:45And now
21:47The training room
21:48It feels like home
21:51Everyone feels like family
21:53Just five of us remain
21:58Next week
21:59Is the semi-finals
22:02We danced twice
22:05Two dance styles
22:06And for the first time
22:08Two full new routines
22:10Double the work
22:11Double the pressure
22:12No one
22:13No one
22:14Wants to fall at the final hurdle
22:16This is the turning point
22:19APPLAUSE
22:21That is next week but only two more couples can make it there
22:29It's time to find out who is in tonight's dance-off
22:32Tess
22:33Thanks, Claude
22:35This is it
22:36After 11 weeks
22:37Somebody's journey will end
22:39Who will take their last dance this evening?
22:42Louis and Katya
22:44George and Alexis
22:46And Amber and Nikita
22:47I'm about to announce who must go head to head for their place in the Strictly semi-final
22:51Good luck to all of you
22:52I can now reveal that the first couple in tonight's dance-off is
23:04Tonight's dance-off is
23:16Louis and Katya
23:23And the couple they'll be up against in the dance-off is
23:26Amber and Nikita
23:33George and Alexis, well done
23:38You are through to next week
23:40Cheers
23:42Louis and Katya
23:43Amber and Nikita
23:45Please come and join me
23:49Wow, wow, wow
23:51I'm so sorry
23:53To see you both here in this position
23:58Louis, it's your first time here
24:00How are you feeling right now?
24:03What will be will be, I guess
24:05Yeah, a little bit gutted
24:06But I am looking forward to trying doing the dance better than last time
24:10And yeah
24:12Amber
24:14The quarter-final dance-off is a really tough place to be, isn't it?
24:18Well, I've got to say right now
24:20These two have been our number one fans since day one
24:23And that has meant more to me
24:25Than anything in this competition
24:27So thank you so much
24:28And may the best man win
24:30Aww
24:35This is really tough, isn't it?
24:36Let's get some advice from the judges
24:38Shirley, are you shocked to see Louis and Amber in this position?
24:43I'm speechless
24:44I'm not very often speechless
24:46But I'm absolutely speechless
24:48First of all
24:49Can I say your sportsmanship is fantastic
24:51I think
24:53I speak for everybody
24:54We're shocked to see both of you here
24:56Both couples
24:57I can only say when you go out now
24:59Nothing is over until it's over
25:01So you have to dig deep
25:03You have to make no mistakes
25:04It has to be flawless
25:05You've got to go out there
25:07And dance for your place
25:08In the semi-final
25:09But no matter what happens
25:11I want you to know
25:12That has been quite the journey
25:14That we are all admirers of all of you
25:16Your work ethic
25:17What you've brought forward to the show
25:19Has been absolutely a star
25:22And exactly like you said, Amber
25:24May the best man win on this occasion
25:28Thank you so much
25:31I know how much this means to both of you
25:33So go out there and give it everything
25:35Yeah, we will
25:36Thank you
25:37We're all rooting for you
25:38We'll see you later in the dance-off
25:40Oh, Claudia's upstairs with our final safe couple
25:43Thank you, Tess
25:46George
25:47Can we
25:48Should we just take a minute
25:49And can I say
25:50Please, yeah
25:51George Clarke, strictly semi-finalist
25:52Yeah
25:57Oh my God
25:58How proud are you of yourself?
26:00Um
26:01I am proud of myself
26:02I feel like
26:03If you ask my family
26:04Even like sort of like
26:05Four or five years ago
26:06Do I even speak at family gatherings?
26:08They were like no
26:09He just sort of sits in the corner
26:10So to have
26:12Started making videos
26:13Get a bit more confidence in me
26:14And to sort of be performing
26:16On TV is wild to me
26:18And I know they'll all sort of attest to that
26:20So I'm proud of myself in that respect
26:21Good
26:22You should be
26:23You really should be

31:44And tonight they face each other
31:47In the dance off
31:48Dancing first with their Charleston
31:50It's Amber and Nikita
31:52I dreamed last night

34:41Go on!
34:43Go on!
34:57Go on!
36:01An outstanding dance-off.
36:06Both couples have left everything on the floor, but only one can make it through.
36:11Judges, it's now over to you.
36:12Based on that dance-off alone, I'm about to ask each of you the name of the couple you think
36:17deserves to stay and why.
36:18The couple with the most votes will remain in the competition, meaning the other couple
36:24will leave Strictly Come Dancing.
36:25In the event of a tie, our judge with the casting vote, and that's you this week, Moxie, will
36:26have the final vote.
36:27We'll have the final say.
36:59Who do you want to send through to the Strictly semi-final and why?
37:03Well, first of all, both couples upped their number from Saturday night.
37:08It was absolutely fantastic.
37:12It's a very, very difficult decision for me because I admire both couples and there's
37:17not really much I can say except I'm heartbroken for one of these couples that's going to go
37:22home.
37:23My vote on this occasion goes to Amber and Nikita.
37:33Anton, who do you think deserves to stay in Strictly and why?
37:37Oh, I think they should both stay in Strictly this year.
37:40They're both absolutely extraordinary.
37:42It is...
37:44We have to judge just this dance because they've both been extraordinary through the whole
37:52series with some remarkable performances and some incredible dances.
38:00The person who goes home is going to be about the best dancer we've ever had or certainly
38:04come dancing not to make the semi-final.
38:07And it's so close.
38:08But I'm going to save Amber and Nikita.
38:16That's two votes for Amber and Nikita.
38:19If Craig now votes to save them, they are indeed through to the semi-final.
38:24So, Craig, who would you like to see in the ballroom next week and why?
38:29For me, both couples are completely and absolutely equal and comparable.
38:34And for me, the better dance of the night, Amber and Nikita.
38:43Congratulations, Amber and Nikita.
38:45You are semi-finalists.
38:47But of course, memes, we are saying goodbye to Lewis and Katya.
38:54Please come and join me.
38:55Moxie, did you agree with your fellow judges?
38:59Yes, I would have said Amber and Nikita.
39:03Lewis and Katya, come on over.
39:10All right.
39:12I'm so sorry to see you.
39:14That's all right.
39:16You have been absolutely amazing.
39:18Everyone in the studio is on their feet.
39:24To salute you.
39:30You have been our highest-scoring male celebrity.
39:34So many records broken.
39:36How much have you enjoyed your experience?
39:39It's been like, you know, more than I could have ever wished for.
39:42If someone had said that I'd have done 11 weeks on the show at the beginning,
39:45I'd have been over the moon and I'd have snapped the hand off.
39:49So, thank you to the full show, to everyone for having such a space
39:54where people can be themselves, grow, learn, express themselves.
40:00Yeah, it's been incredible.
40:02And it will be a memory that I'll have for the rest of my life.
40:05And I think it's all down to you.
40:07You've literally given me absolutely everything I could have wished for.
40:14As a friend, as a teacher, and...
40:17Yeah, I couldn't imagine it without anybody else.
40:19So, thank you very much.
40:22Katya, I can see you're so emotional.
40:26How much have you loved Dancing with Lewis?
40:29I think you have created so many moments for Strictly Come Dancing
40:34that will be in history books and you will be remembered not just as one,
40:40if not the best male celebrity we have ever had on the show,
40:44but also you'll be remembered.
40:47I really hope Lewis Coates will be remembered for an incredible person you are,
40:54that kind and genuine people still exist and what a gentleman you are
40:58and so humble and so kind and I'm so glad that...
41:04that we had a chance to see you and showcase your talent
41:08and what beautiful person you are to the world, so...
41:14Lewis, you've had the whole apartment pool behind you,
41:19including those 13 coats.
41:22How much has that support meant to you?
41:24It's everything, isn't it?
41:25I mean, what is life without people?
41:28And this shows kind of...
41:30I've seen how it's brought people together,
41:33not just in my family, but like, you know,
41:35it seems to lift people up and it's definitely brought, you know,
41:38my family four generations together every Saturday night.
41:41My nana daughter is sitting there smiling all the time.
41:44You know, people, young boys who thought that, you know,
41:48dancing wasn't accessible for them or whatever have started dancing now
41:51and send us videos and stuff like that and, you know,
41:55if you can change one person's life like that, then that's enough.
41:58Well, we know...
42:00We know that you have absolutely loved Dancing On Strictly.
42:04We have loved watching you.
42:07We really have and we are so sorry to see you go.
42:10That's all right. Thank you.
42:11Would you mind taking your place for one final time?
42:13Thank you. Thank you.
42:14We will miss you.
42:15I'll miss you too.
42:16We'll miss you.
42:18You know everyone, you've been fantastic.
42:20Love you both.
42:22You're welcome.
42:23You're welcome.

42:31and iPlayer.
