00:00:00Do you remember me?

00:00:27I sat upon your knee I wrote to you with childhood fantasy

00:00:41No more lives torn apart That wars would never stop

00:01:04That riot would always win And love would never end

00:01:16This is my day Christmas Eve

00:01:28Shout out the holly But up the tree before my spirit falls again

00:06:05Loving understanding.

00:06:08Merry Christmas.

00:06:09If you want.

00:06:12CHEERING

00:06:13You all are amazing.

00:06:18Bit milk to you all.

00:06:20Let's get started.

00:06:22First, onto the floor with Charleston.

00:06:24It's comedian, Babatunde Aleshe and his partner, Nancy.

00:06:28CHEERING

00:06:29Hold on.

00:06:34Oh, yeah?

00:06:35I love getting to do this.

00:06:40Hi, people.

00:06:40My name is Babatunde Aleshe and I'm best known for being a stand-up comedian.

00:06:45I was like, whoa.

00:06:48I just get to make people laugh all day.

00:06:50That's just the best job ever.

00:06:52Pack it up, pack it up.

00:06:53What I like about dancing is watching other people do it.

00:06:58I'm not supposed to be doing something like this.

00:07:01I don't dance.

00:07:01I mean, I'm looking forward to, like, challenging myself and seeing what I could do.

00:07:07But there's no turning back from this.

00:07:09I can't act hard anymore.

00:07:11Like, the man am I going to be like, nah, bruv, you're a ballroom dancer.

00:07:15Oh, Lord, what am I doing?

00:07:18What am I doing, guys?

00:07:22Learning the Charleston.

00:07:23I'm finding it very, very hard.

00:07:26That, that, that.

00:07:27Again.

00:07:28Oh.

00:07:28Yeah, they say less is more, but not with the Charleston.

00:07:32Yeah.

00:07:33More is more.

00:07:34More, more, more, more.

00:07:35You can do better.

00:07:36How Nancy is teaching me is by chasing me around the room.

00:07:42Telling me to do it again.

00:07:43Cat, cat.

00:07:44I love you.

00:07:45Do it again.

00:07:46Yeah.

00:07:47When it comes to the show, I'm going to be a bag of nerves.

00:07:50I'm a bag of nerves now.

00:07:51But I'm getting the hang of it, bit by bit.

00:07:53In my dance, I am the naughty elf.

00:07:58I'm trying to convince Nancy to be naughty, but I think she needs some practice.

00:08:03So, we are at a group rehearsal.

00:08:05I've given Nancy an airpiece, and I'm going to make her mess with some of the dancing.

00:08:10This is going to be so much fun.

00:08:13Okay, Nancy, nod your head if you can hear me.

00:08:15All right.

00:08:15Go up to Kai and say, you look like an action figure.

00:08:18You look like an action figure.

00:08:20Me?

00:08:21Yeah.

00:08:21What one?

00:08:22Barbie.

00:08:23Barbie.

00:08:25Are you okay today?

00:08:28Okay, hide, hide, hide.

00:08:30Praise coming.

00:08:30Hide, hide, hide.

00:08:32Hide!

00:08:32Get some snacks.

00:08:36Give Nick one.

00:08:37Put it in his mouth.

00:08:38Chinese medicine.

00:08:41Scream jingle bells to wake him up.

00:08:44Jingle bells!

00:08:46Okay, tell him you smell nice.

00:08:48You smell like Christmas cake.

00:08:50Can I bite you?

00:08:53That's a clear no.

00:08:54Thank you very much.

00:08:55That was incredible.

00:08:57I think that you're ready to be a naughty elf.

00:08:59Oh, absolutely.

00:09:01Ready.

00:09:01All right, let's go practice.

00:09:02We've got to rehearse.

00:09:03See you, guys.

00:09:04All right.

00:09:09Dancing the Charleston.

00:09:11Babatunde Eleshe and his partner, Nancy Shuri.

00:09:13You better watch out.

00:09:37You better not cry.

00:09:38You better not pout.

00:09:39I'm telling you why.

00:09:41Why?

00:09:41Santa Claus is coming to town.

00:09:44Dad, oh, wow.

00:09:46He's making a list.

00:09:47He's checking it twice.

00:09:48He's going to find out who's naughty and nice.

00:09:50Santa Claus is coming to town.

00:09:55He sees you when you're sleeping.

00:09:57He knows when you're away.

00:09:59He knows if you've been bad.

00:10:02Good, good, good, good, good for goodness sake.

00:10:04You better watch out.

00:10:06You better not pout.

00:10:07You better not pout.

00:10:08I'm telling you why.

00:10:09Santa Claus is coming to town.

00:10:18He sees you when you're sleeping.

00:10:21And he knows when you're away.

00:10:24He knows if you've been bad.

00:10:26Good, so be good for goodness sake.

00:10:29You better watch out.

00:10:30You better not cry.

00:10:31You better not pout.

00:10:32I'm telling you why.

00:10:34Santa Claus is coming to town.

00:10:38You better watch out.

00:10:40You better not cry.

00:10:41You better not pout.

00:10:42I'm telling you why.

00:10:44Santa Claus is coming.

00:10:46You mean the big fat man with the long white beard.

00:10:49He's coming to town.

00:10:50He's coming to town.

00:10:51He's coming to town.

00:10:52He's coming to town.

00:10:53He's coming to town.

00:10:54He's coming to town.

00:10:55He's coming to town.

00:10:56He's coming to town.

00:10:57He's coming to town.

00:10:58He's coming to town.

00:10:59Baba!

00:11:01Oh, yes, Baba!

00:11:05You have a cheeky little elf, aren't you?

00:11:09Let's put us all in the Christmas mood.

00:11:12Dancing on the telly on Christmas Day, how does that feel?

00:11:16It's good. I feel good. Yes?

00:11:18I'm tired. Yes.

00:11:20Now, I know a George who happens to love a Charleston.

00:11:23Let's see if he's going to be naughty or nice.

00:11:26Great!

00:11:28I do love a Charleston and I like being naughty.

00:11:31That is true.

00:11:32For me, that was a little laid back.

00:11:34I've got to be honest.

00:11:42It looked like you were dancing after you just had your full Christmas dinner.

00:11:46Well, he has.

00:11:47But you know what?

00:11:49The swivel was absolutely brilliant.

00:11:52Your timing was exceptional.

00:11:54And your musicality was wonderful.

00:11:56It was a really great routine.

00:11:58Excellent.

00:11:59He's very fussy about the swivel.

00:12:01I know.

00:12:02Moxie.

00:12:03Well, it wouldn't be Christmas without a naughty elf on the shelf.

00:12:07And you gave us to be a bath.

00:12:10A naughty elf on the shelf and dancing.

00:12:13You were excellent.

00:12:14We love the musicality.

00:12:16We love your present energy.

00:12:18Come on.

00:12:20Very well, guys.

00:12:22Shirley.

00:12:23A very, very delicious Christmas cake.

00:12:28Very naughty but very nice.

00:12:30I like Christmas cake.

00:12:31I like it.

00:12:32I have to say, everything in that was tasty, yummy and truly scrumptious.

00:12:36Wasn't it, Anton?

00:12:37Oh, no, it was.

00:12:38Oh, we loved it.

00:12:39And the swivels and the connection and the timing was just the star on the cake.

00:12:44You were absolutely divine together.

00:12:46Well done, you.

00:12:49Well done.

00:12:50Oh.

00:12:51Anton.

00:12:52Hello, swivel.

00:12:53What about that swivel?

00:12:55Come on, on your own.

00:12:57Giving it plenty.

00:12:58I like it.

00:12:59Very clean.

00:13:00Great timing.

00:13:01Lovely partnering.

00:13:02I enjoyed it enormously.

00:13:03Well done.

00:13:04Thank you so much.

00:13:05Thanks.

00:13:06Sounds like the judges love an elf who can swivel.

00:13:10Absolutely, yeah.

00:13:11Congratulations.

00:13:12Oh, thank you.

00:13:13Go and enjoy the party upstairs.

00:13:15Thank you, Baba.

00:13:16Thank you, thank you, thank you.

00:13:17Baba and Nancy.

00:13:19Mama.

00:13:20Mama.

00:13:21Well done.

00:13:22We just opened the Christmas show.

00:13:23Yeah.

00:13:24How did you find it?

00:13:25I found it really good.

00:13:26I'm tired.

00:13:27Yes.

00:13:28My lord.

00:13:29I know.

00:13:30This is the Charleston.

00:13:31I know.

00:13:32Why do you guys do this?

00:13:33This is tiring.

00:13:34You did have the most tiring dance.

00:13:35It's hard work, right?

00:13:36Yes, but do you know what?

00:13:37I said to him.

00:13:38Yes.

00:13:39Accept at the moment.

00:13:40You can do the Charleston.

00:13:41Uh-huh.

00:13:42You can do the Charleston.

00:13:43Then you will feel great in Christmas night.

00:13:44Yes.

00:13:45Because you can just sit there.

00:13:46Or sit in the bed or lie in the bed.

00:13:47Have any food in your bed.

00:13:48That's right.

00:13:49Without guilty.

00:13:50I plan to do that.

00:13:51Don't worry about that.

00:13:52Yeah.

00:13:53You absolutely smashed that.

00:13:54How happy are you about the judge's comments?

00:13:55You know, maybe, and another time, maybe you might see a better Charleston.

00:13:57Who knows?

00:13:58I've never seen a better Charleston than that.

00:13:59Not what you saw tonight.

00:14:00Tonight was the one.

00:14:02Christmas.

00:14:03Correct.

00:14:04Christmas Charleston.

00:14:05Yes.

00:14:0610 out of 10.

00:14:07Good luck.

00:14:08Good luck.

00:14:09Maybe and another time

00:14:11Maybe you might see a better Charleston. Who knows? I've never seen a better

00:14:19Christmas

00:14:22Yes

00:14:24To both of you

00:14:27Ladies and gentlemen, the judges have their scores

00:14:30Craig revel hold

00:14:39I'm told you there no

00:15:00The door excuse me, that's that's the door

00:15:09Oh

00:15:17Thank goodness they can dump

00:15:23But I now feel Christmasy

00:15:26Beautiful judges. Thank you

00:15:28Our next couple is former All Saints star Melanie Blatt and her partner Kai tonight

00:15:34They're dancing to the song Santa Baby and just like Santa

00:15:37Mel's hoping to deliver the perfect gift for Christmas Day a sophisticated Strictly performance

00:15:47So I'm Mel and I'm going to be attempting to dance I

00:15:52Used to be in a band in the 90s called All Saints

00:15:55It was amazing being with my best mates traveling the world

00:15:59But the dancing was a lot of plodding around there was a lot of shoulder-bopping back in those days

00:16:04I don't think there's going to be any comparison to dancing on Strictly

00:16:09I've always been nervous when I sang so this is going to be like times a million

00:16:13I

00:16:15Am at the point in my life where I know that I need to challenge myself

00:16:18I mean, you know, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm just going to give it my best

00:16:22We are going to be dancing the Etta Jazz. It's sort of Fred and Ginger-esque

00:16:32A lot of sort of posing

00:16:34I'm actually really enjoying it and that's probably got something to do with Kai as well

00:16:39I mean, he's so lovely

00:16:40I'm holding on to you for doing it like that

00:16:41That's okay, that's normal

00:16:42I wouldn't say I'm in my natural element here

00:16:44Because I've got scoliosis and I've got my wards in my spine and that makes me quite stiff

00:16:50Yeah, let's give it Gene Kelly

00:16:52So if my life on Strictly wasn't hard enough, Kai decided to bring umbrellas into this relationship

00:16:58It's just like to me a spiky weapon

00:17:04I don't like doing anything half-hearted whether I can put it off. I don't know

00:17:09But I'm going to give it a good go

00:17:12So we've been so busy rehearsing and Kai's been so amazing teaching me this dance

00:17:16I thought I'd take him to the fairground and let him have some fun on some rides

00:17:22What a lovely idea Mel had to bring me to the winter fair

00:17:26It's not really Mel's cup of tea

00:17:28I love it

00:17:31I've never seen a fully grown human man enjoy fairground rides as much as Kai

00:17:36It's really really joy watching him love it so much

00:17:42Oh my gosh

00:17:49We're trying to get Mel on the roller coasters all day, but she's finally agreed to one and I've heard it's really scary

00:18:02Are you ready?

00:18:03Yes

00:18:04Come on, let's go

00:18:06It's been an amazing night. We've had so much fun, and now I'm just ready to get on that dance floor and dance

00:18:19Dancing theatre jazz

00:18:21Melanie Blatt and her partner Kai Winterton

00:18:23Santa baby

00:20:04Look at you, Mel

00:20:06Well done, my darling

00:20:08I'm not surprised you look pleased with yourself

00:20:10You made that look excellent, love

00:20:12I can't believe I was still standing

00:20:14You made it look easy

00:20:16Did you enjoy it? I did, I really enjoyed it

00:20:18Took me well to get to that point

00:20:20But right now I enjoyed it

00:20:22Let's see how the judges felt

00:20:24A little bit of theatre jazz for you, Shirley

00:20:26Anton and I love a little bit of theatre jazz

00:20:28It was full of glitz and glamour

00:20:30Baubles, bangles

00:20:32Everything that goes divine

00:20:34That hangs on your tree

00:20:36Light, camera, action

00:20:38And I particularly like the way you use the umbrella

00:20:40In the middle, you were totally in sync

00:20:42You were never in sync, darling

00:20:44On your umbrella

00:20:46Your umbrella scene was fabulous

00:20:48The whole thing, I just thought

00:20:50That was fabulous

00:20:51Did you think it was fabulous?

00:20:52Oh, I loved it

00:20:53Fabulous

00:20:54Fabulous

00:20:55Oh

00:20:56Oh

00:20:57Anton

00:20:58It was the night before Christmas

00:21:00And all was quiet

00:21:02In the department store

00:21:04Until you came in

00:21:05And started with all that nonsense

00:21:06I mean, I loved it

00:21:07It was all stylish and sophisticated

00:21:10And theatre jazz

00:21:11Yeah

00:21:12Oh, I love a bit of theatre jazz

00:21:14I don't know what it was

00:21:19I loved your timing

00:21:20Ba da ba

00:21:21All the tacit beats there that you hit

00:21:23And all that

00:21:24Giving it all

00:21:25I really enjoyed it

00:21:27And it's still

00:21:51I saw you do that, my love

00:21:53You did those really sharp and fantastic jab kicks

00:21:56Which I love

00:22:02Wow

00:22:03Thank you

00:22:04I love Christmas, Craig

00:22:08Not sick

00:22:09Listen

00:22:10If Santa

00:22:11Saw this dance

00:22:13He would be sprinting down the chimney

00:22:16Because this was lovely

00:22:17It was sensual

00:22:18You were in sync

00:22:20It had a flair

00:22:21And to top it all off

00:22:23What a beautiful smile

00:22:24Thank you

00:22:25Thank you so much

00:22:53It's Christmas Day

00:22:54And your daughter, Lily Ellis

00:22:55She came over from America

00:22:57Yeah, but I haven't seen it for a year

00:22:59So I can't wait for it to be done

00:23:01So I can go and give her a big crack

00:23:02Yeah, it won't be long

00:23:03I promise

00:23:04Tell me about how have you found the whole strictification

00:23:08It's been amazing, yet challenging

00:23:11You know, coming, getting out of my comfort zone

00:23:13Having to wear a dress

00:23:14Having to look like custard

00:23:16You know, all of these things

00:23:17But it's very Christmassy custard

00:23:19So it's fine

00:23:20It's absolutely fine

00:23:21Kai, I have to mention your mum, Candice

00:23:23She is in the audience tonight

00:23:25She is, yes

00:23:26And she makes you very special snack for Christmas Day

00:23:29Share with the group

00:23:30Yeah, so every Christmas morning since I was a boy

00:23:32She's always made sausage rolls by hand

00:23:35But with the secret ingredient of mango chutney

00:23:38And I have to tell you

00:23:39It is to die for

00:23:40We're all here for it

00:24:33We can't wait to see it

00:24:37Our next couple is West Lifestar

00:24:39Brian McFadden and his partner Michelle

00:24:41And they are going to be dancing a jive

00:24:43Oh, Tess

00:24:44Now

00:24:45Now, before you carry on

00:24:46I just

00:24:47You know there's

00:24:48There isn't an Argentine tango in the show tonight

00:24:50But

00:24:51And we all know it's your favourite dance

00:24:53So the four of us

00:24:54We've had a whip round

00:24:55And we decided to get you one for Christmas

00:24:57Aw, thank you

00:24:59Thank you

00:25:00Thank you

00:25:01Thank you

00:25:02Thank you

00:25:02Oh

00:25:27The team which stuffing with the turkey

00:25:29Hello, I'm Brian McFadden. You probably know me best for being in Westlife

00:25:34Being in Westlife was one of the best experiences of my life getting to travel around the world being a pop star

00:25:40Which is something I never thought I was gonna be as a kid

00:25:43My house was always full of dancing. It was a huge part of growing up in Ireland. I wasn't very good at it

00:25:48But I absolutely loved doing it

00:25:51You know Strictly it's an institution. It's part of British history

00:25:54But the main reason I'm doing this is for my daughter Ruby

00:25:56She's absolutely obsessed with Strictly. I can't wait to see your little face when she sees me on Christmas Day

00:26:06The jive is very very difficult. It's not an easy dance

00:26:09Point yourself, you know, it's fast. You need really good stamina for it. It's hard

00:26:15You see there's this preconceived idea that being in a boy band means you're a great dancer

00:26:19But my Westlife days our biggest dance move was getting off the stool for the key change

00:26:26So today was a little bit of a break from the norm and we had my wife danielle and my daughter ruby come down and join us

00:26:32Do you want to watch us do our dance?

00:26:41My daddy's the best dancer in the world

00:26:47I think my daddy's gonna win Strictly

00:26:50I heard that there's a great choir on in somerset house singing christmas carols

00:26:58So i'm bringing michelle to see what I do every day can't wait

00:27:08What a little treat for christmas to be able to hear all those voices around you it is really magical it's the best thing in the world

00:27:13I

00:27:17Now that we have you here there actually is a particular number we sing oh really about flying i'll fly without wigs

00:27:25I wasn't really prepared for that but been singing that song for 27 years now so it's in there everybody's looking for that something

00:27:36One thing that makes it all complete when brian was singing it did feel quite emotional it's a beautiful

00:27:43song

00:27:48To be able to sing with a big choir like that that was a pretty special moment

00:27:54Now it feels like the night before christmas everything's ready to go and now focus on the dance

00:28:00That's a good job brian the fadden and his partner michelle checkers

00:28:13checkers

00:28:24i

00:28:26i

00:28:28Run, run, Rudeau, the friend of God to come behind

00:28:31Run, run, Rudeau, the city's got a big town

00:28:37The friend of me can hunt, he can see the freeway town

00:28:44And the way we rule up, we've been like a medical

00:28:49So tell me you a boy child, what have you been longing for?

00:28:58Out of my world, the princess is a rock, so go, let's take me talk

00:29:02And the way we rule up, we've been like a shooting star

00:29:08Run, run, run, run, Rudeau, the friend of me can tell me

00:29:15Give me me your comment, he'll make me feelin' bad

00:29:22And the way we rule up, we've been like a medical

00:29:55Oh

00:30:12You okay there my love

00:30:14I mean

00:30:16Not many people could manage that after a Christmas dinner guys. I wait too much turkey

00:30:22You can have a lie down in a minute

00:30:24Oh a minute. Not just yet. Let's go to the judges find out what they thought first

00:30:28Pretty good view there. Oh

00:30:31Yeah

00:30:34Too close you you were thrilled with that bit there weren't you enjoying this film

00:30:42It didn't make me think I must go and crack some walnuts

00:30:45I know how to do it now

00:30:47The clinching going on

00:30:50I thought this this was this was great. I loved it

00:31:02You were magnificent. I thought that was true

00:31:06It did lack a little bit of precision

00:31:18It's Christmas that's that that's the only negative the energy was absolutely fantastic

00:31:23You even had

00:31:25Retraction in your kicks. I love that

00:31:28It was full of fantastic content you styled it out. I didn't know what was happening here when you were climbing up

00:31:35That makes two of us

00:31:37That makes two of us

00:31:39But you know I enjoyed that a little bit that little our personal moment together there darling

00:31:44I think it was great. It was fantastic

00:31:56Rudolph you rocked the dance floor honestly you left no Christmas crumbs to eat great choreography

00:32:01I think after a few tipples of sherry

00:32:13That would be the kind of number that my mother and I'd like in our kitchen both of you were rocking it

00:32:18I'm telling you kicks flicks highlights just a superstar Michelle your choreography was absolutely out of this world

00:32:25You kept in sync

00:32:27You kept in time

00:32:29It was everything that you would expect and more at Christmas

00:32:35Thank you so much. You're just brilliant comments. Brilliant. Yeah, thank you so much. We're happy with that. I'm not gonna lie. I'm so glad that's over now

00:32:43Back to singing

00:32:55I'm so brilliant comment. I know it's it's a lot. I'm not gonna lie. I couldn't hear anything. They said my ears are gone

00:33:12You did fantastically well it is a very fast dance you chose to do it in pleather respect. I know yeah, yeah, absolutely

00:33:18You must be boiling in that it's very very hot. I have to say her choreography was amazing

00:33:25I really designed this choreography based on Brian. I told him on the when he was on the judges table

00:33:31I was like you just do you show me what you've got

00:33:37For you, you're a cool guy and that was a cool choreo

00:33:51Okay, good luck the scores are in the judges have their scores

00:34:41But how will she fare tonight as she enters the strictly arena for a street commercial showdown

00:34:51Merry christmas

00:34:52I'm jody ounsley, but you might know me best as fury on gladiators

00:34:56I've been in sport my whole life it started with world code carrying championships

00:35:06I then became british champion in brazilian jiu-jitsu and then i represented england in rugby which was amazing

00:35:12So i was born profoundly deaf but when i was 14 months old i had a cochlear implant fitted

00:35:30What's the worst that can happen

00:35:31Oh

00:35:35Between dancing and gladiators dancing is harder i'm telling you

00:35:43When i came into it i was thinking oh gosh i'm gonna have to be all elegant but the dance is so me

00:35:49That's it yeah we're gonna be dancing street commercial it's power it's agility it's fun but also with a bit of sass as well

00:35:57i'd like to sing about all the things i think normally you see the guys doing all the lifts but i may

00:36:02A clip neil over my back and i think that is so refreshing hopefully it'll survive to the end

00:36:12Neil's brought me back on the rugby field to attend the world record of pulling the most crackers in a minute

00:43:41it's the door hello oh 47 mince pies for a misty daily yes we live together i'll take those

00:43:51there was a few more but i got a bit hungry

00:43:55tuck it in yeah go on everyone get in

00:44:00always save me a mince pie you lot it is time now for something romantic so snuggle up on the sofa

00:44:07give your loved ones a cuddle and watch a beautiful viennese waltz from east ender star nicholas

00:44:12bailey and his partner luba fancy little snuggle craig come on i've always wanted to do this

00:44:28my name's nicholas bailey been a professional actor for 35 years i'm best known for playing the

00:44:33part of dr anthony truman in east enders i really loved you i think being an actor will help me in

00:44:41my dance journey there's an extent to which you've got to be in the moment you've got to connect with

00:44:45an audience i love to dance anytime there's a beat i'm the first on the dance floor but in terms of

00:44:51formal dance training there's no experience whatsoever when i step out there onto the strictly

00:44:57dance floor there will be pressure but i think you need that little edge hopefully that's when the

00:45:02magic happens and stop and courtesy i've always wanted to do a viennese waltz but when i turned

00:45:10up i realized how technical it was it's very specific so it's tough trying to get your head around

00:45:17exact form and structure so oh that's lovely it feels great to do the lifts i'm just worried that

00:45:25i'm gonna drop luba i'll spin her off the stage but um she's very very kind very very patient beautiful

00:45:32gorgeous there you go yeah it's amazing when you make a breakthrough and you just see the smile

00:45:37break out on luba's face well done when people say it's transformative they really all right it's

00:45:43pretty amazing and i'm i'm really enjoying the experience

00:45:51luba thank you so much for teaching me how to dance and as a sign of my gratitude i thought i'd bring
