1 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:32,720 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE 2 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,720 Hello and welcome to Monday's It Takes Two! 3 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,840 Strictly's Halloween night might be dead and gone, 4 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,360 but the competition is still very much alive and heating up. 5 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,880 We will have that juicy freeway dance off. 6 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:53,840 Let's see what we've got for you tonight. 7 00:00:54,240 --> 00:01:03,120 They will be back to breakdown all the drama from the weekend. They may 8 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,120 have escaped the dance off but they ain't afraid of no ghosts, it is 9 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,400 Lawrence and Jowita. 10 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,520 Lawrence and Jowita. And you could message us here. But before that, 11 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:27,080 let's remind ourselves of what happened at the weekend. I had 12 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:32,720 treats every time someone said the word fleckerl and I was off my head 13 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,720 on lollipops by the end of the night and Shirley was dressed as ice cream 14 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,440 and Motsi as a hot tree and Craig came as the devil which was strange 15 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,320 because I thought you would wear a costume for Halloween. One woman who 16 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:53,240 had a bewitching night was top of the leaderboard Laci and her 17 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,600 transformation was so dramatic she was asked for ID by security guards 18 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,400 Johannes. Who is this woman standing in front of me? Pat Butcher returns 19 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:11,000 and she is great at the tango! Onto tango and Mark and for a woman who 20 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,640 has a gold medal in skeleton, you would think she could have had a 21 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:24,840 silver in which and judge Craig was at least very generous with his 22 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:31,080 booze. You are such a good sharer, Craig. A couple that impressed the 23 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:40,920 judges with their spellbinding tango was catchier. I thought of nothing 24 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,600 else this week and I was having a shave and making tea and I was 25 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:55,280 thinking about it -- with their spellbinding tango was Katya. Dani 26 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,800 and Nikita's Viennese waltz crept up on us and we had a sexy Argentine 27 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,720 Tango, begging the question, how could something so undead make me 28 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,040 feel so alive was mackerel and iron shows Halloween to do their puppets 29 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:15,800 beamed Couple's Choice. -- puppets beamed. Insecurity and a desperate 30 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,720 need to be like to. We love you, we'll! But do you like me and love 31 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:29,800 me? Thank you, because I am dead inside! And Halloween Strictly 32 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,680 always means unforgettable images but here is one I will scrub off my 33 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:39,960 eyeballs for weeks to come. I don't mean to lower the tone, but was that 34 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:52,280 clay or were they trying to polish a third? That's what Craig said when 35 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:59,720 he judged my rumba! The competition is tight and we have just broken a 36 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,760 Strictly record with six weeks into the life shows and a different 37 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,720 couple have topped the leaderboard every week and get to claim the top 38 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,640 spot our will and Diane, and Nancy and will and Nikita, so do you think 39 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,720 we will see a brand-new couple at the top of the leaderboard next 40 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,200 week, yes or no?

Time now to dive into the weekend with a 44 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,400 team who were so brilliant on Friday that we had to invite them back for 45 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:47,360 more stop it is our all-star panel, Molly, Lewis and the Thabo! Did you 46 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,320 enjoy the Halloween special? It was good. We loved it. It was pretty 47 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,480 special. We will talk with Lawrence and Jowita in a bit and are you sad 48 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,120 to see them go? I thought he was amazing and I was lucky enough to be 49 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:08,760 there on Saturday and I thought he was great and embodied the character 50 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,920 and he is a nice guy. You were buying into the idea of a triple 51 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:20,840 dance off so did you enjoy it and did it live up to expectations? I 52 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:27,160 thought it was good and I turned off my lights and had no trick but I 53 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,840 just liked the fact that Strictly was adding a bit of jeopardy and 54 00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:33,080 putting someone to leave, not to stay, which I thought was good. What 55 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,520 was the vibe like with the couples? You could tell everyone wanted to 56 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:43,920 put their best foot forward and on the day at the penthouse and on the 57 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:50,920 floor, everybody dived in and gave it their all. Are you surprised to 58 00:05:50,920 --> 00:06:00,040 see them there, Molly, Jaime and Carlos? I think Jaime is an amazing 59 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,160 dancer and they are a great pairing so I am quite surprised but once you 60 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:10,440 have been in it once, you kind of end up being the guy in it. But I 61 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,600 see it as a bonus thing because you get to dance again and give a bit 62 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:25,320 more and whatever comes after that is a win. Let's talk about the pot 63 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,560 stirrer, Lethabo. Why was that so good? It is complicated and you have 64 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,480 to maintain your connection so that your partners spins you consistently 65 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,760 and you have to be centred and can activate your core and she did it 66 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,880 really well. Twice, even! What did you think of Jaime and Carlos, 67 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:50,600 Lewis? They did really well and I don't think they should have been in 68 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,400 the dance off but we are getting to that stage in the competition now 69 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,360 where there won't be too many surprises and many people will be in 70 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:04,280 the dance off so it is tricky. Bethany and Nancy also survived the 71 00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:11,080 dance off so were you a fan of their jive, Lewis? I thought it was a bit 72 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:18,640 soft and lethargic, like what Anton said. She did well and it had a lot 73 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,200 of content and she remembered it all with no mistakes but it lacked that 74 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:27,920 one up and whack that comes with a jibe. Did you want to see Paes? 75 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,480 Pace, energy, that snap we are used to seeing a jive but there was a lot 76 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:40,920 of jive content in their and I think it was a good jive, better than what 77 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,920 I did, anyway. LAUGHTER 78 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,000 You have experience in the dance off so what advice would you give to 79 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,760 Bethany to bounce back from this? Again, I would just say, think of 80 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:59,640 everything after this as a bonus week, a bonus time, so really take 81 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,320 it in because you will be like me and fall years later, still wishing 82 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,920 you could do it again. I know what you mean. Jaime and Bethany were 83 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,400 fifth and sixth respectively on the leaderboard so is this the table 84 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,160 once again coming into action? I think so. It is hard at the midpoint 85 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:23,160 because when the judges put someone at the top, people at home think, 86 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,960 yes, that was the best dance and I will wait for it. Equally, if you 87 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,200 are at the bottom, the people at home think they need help to get to 88 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,720 next week so the middle ground gets forgotten. The middle ground is 89 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:44,200 dangerous ground. Were you impressed with Lacey, Lethabo? I really was, 90 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,880 so congratulations to them. What she does every week is stiff upper 91 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,240 performance lip and she dives into every dance and gives its 92 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,880 commitment, and when the audience feels a sense of commitment and a 93 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,800 sense of the celebrities diving fully into the dance, they 94 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:04,440 immediately fall in love with you. It was obviously tricky, and she had 95 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,760 lifts and the swivel, so she really put herself out there and I think 96 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,200 the audience loved it, as did I watching it live. And the judges did 97 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,280 and surely was talking about how amazing her improvement was so did 98 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,080 you see an improvement for Lacey's first we? Lacey was brilliant. She 99 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,920 is in your top three. She definitely is! She is so likeable and when I 100 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:35,960 was watching the VTs, she is a family man and is having fun but she 101 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,040 listened so well and remembers her choreography and relies on her pro 102 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,480 and puts the work in and I think the combination of being brilliant off 103 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,120 the floor and great to watch on the floor, it is brilliant to watch and 104 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:57,400 she smashed it. On John and Katia, three words, vampires, tango, latex. 105 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,720 That is a weekend! LAUGHTER 106 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,480 Should there be bonus points on Halloween for the trickiest outfit 107 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:12,920 to dance in? I don't think there should be because I think the outfit 108 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,240 added to the effect because he was sweating so much that when he did 109 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:23,880 the tango, the shop heads, it was like a special effect. If anything, 110 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:35,360 the outfit was an addition to it. And John was inducted 111 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,680 And John was inducted into the bull clubs are what made the dance 112 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:41,560 special? The conference with him coming in there knowing he was good 113 00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:47,080 at ballroom and he is because he transfers his weight with ease from 114 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,520 one foot to another and that is so important when you dance ballroom 115 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,800 because you are leading as the man but you have to dance as you are a 116 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,560 leading and not shove the woman around but dance with a sense of 117 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:02,760 authority and he is really tapped into that. You can tell his 118 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,600 confidence keeps improving and it is showing on that floor so he is 119 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,960 definitely a definite ballroom boy. Another comeback was the Argentine 120 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,880 Tango from Cach and Maddie and the judges love the chemistry so did you 121 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:20,160 see that? Yes, Cach did really well and he could have been exposed on an 122 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,640 Argentine tango because there was no room for error and it was purely 123 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,040 about the content of an Argentine tango. Can you remember the steps 124 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:37,240 and embody what that is? I think they both did so well. As Craig 125 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:43,680 would sate... That was good! Room for improvement. We will be diving 126 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:49,960 into more of this we can's action for later, but for now, let's hear 127 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,520 it for our all-star panel. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE 128 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:59,080 My next guest stormed the floor on the weekend with a Ghostbusters 129 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:07,720 tango but sadly fell to the wayside so, once again, who are you going to 130 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,040 call? Your 131 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:10,640 so, once again, who are you going to call? Your characterisation was 132 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:17,640 tremendous! You had some displaced footwork but it was sharp and 133 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,880 staccato and very entertaining. You are improving. Keep working on that 134 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:28,760 frame. Keep shifting. You know the details and footwork are important 135 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,080 for me. Keep working because you are shining. 136 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,000 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE . 137 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,760 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE . It is Lawrence and Hugh Peter, 138 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:41,640 everybody! Firstly, we thought you did a fabulous job at the weekend so 139 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,200 did you enjoy your dance and getting to Halloween? -- it is Lawrence and 140 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,960 Jowita. Yes, it is probably the most iconic week on one of the most 141 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,000 iconic shows so I am thrilled to have got here, absolutely thrilled. 142 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,880 Shirley and Anton Bo said what a big improvement it was, so did you feel 143 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:10,160 like you were getting better? Yes. The pro can probably... One! 144 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:20,880 Absolutely. I think we did that on week two so we had a bit of a gap 145 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,240 bought Latin dances from the Viennese on that week but we worked 146 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,400 on the things the judges told us to improve like the frame hole, the 147 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:37,240 body of movement, the shift from one leg to another, and I think you have 148 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,280 done so well and you have been brilliant. I absolutely adore 149 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:47,800 dancing with you. And the power that man has in his legs is undeniable. 150 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:54,680 We almost didn't have enough floor to dance our tango. I was like, you 151 00:13:54,680 --> 00:14:00,400 just need to keep it a bit back, because the floor was literally 152 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:06,320 ending! So well done. Absolutely, well done stop Lawrence, your family 153 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,920 were in the audience, your mum and dad, so was it special having them 154 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,880 there and have they been a big support? Everybody has. Family, 155 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,080 close friends, people who have voted, everybody is absolutely 156 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,360 smashed it out of the park of support and it was lovely to have my 157 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,600 mum and dad because they hadn't come down yet so it was lovely to have 158 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:36,680 had them see it, despite getting... At the end. So lovely they came. 159 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:42,240 They got to see the dance twice. What a treat! Let's talk about the 160 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,800 dance because it was your first time finding yourself there so did you 161 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:53,880 expect to be there and how did you cope with it? 162 00:14:54,360 --> 00:15:01,160 It is at the point when anyone can be there and I genuinely thought 163 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:10,040 last week I was going to be there so I was in my head on borrowed time. I 164 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:16,520 thought I would be in the Dance-Off. I was seeing this to your Vita. 165 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:25,240 Despite getting voted out it was bittersweet because it kind of in a 166 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:30,720 weird way felt like we won. Obviously we did not win because we 167 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:38,880 got voted out, but everyone swarms on and you get ten minutes of love 168 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:47,080 and hugs and joy and how could it meet much different other than 169 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:52,760 lifting the regrettable, everyone gives you a cuddle and it felt like 170 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,440 we did win something. That is a wonderful way because you're right, 171 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:07,800 it is a really special moment. He was like one, let's just do it. I 172 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,640 said fine. Then when I was up there I was thinking how am I going to get 173 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:20,600 down? In this stress. I did. Hopefully everything was 174 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,840 appropriate. It was the first ever triple Danso. How hard was it going 175 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:35,000 against two couples? I did in not enjoy that, it is not nice. But also 176 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:46,360 I took on the mantra this week of enjoying it as much as I could. 177 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,520 enjoying it as much as I could. And I allowed slightly negative... 178 00:16:48,520 --> 00:17:00,760 Criticisms from the judges to affect my training. I think because I 179 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,240 thought I was in the Dance-Off before, I was going to enjoy it as 180 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,160 much as I could. That is not answering the question. I am going 181 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:15,240 on a tangent. It was surreal. We are pioneers. 182 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,040 LAUGHTER The way you reframe things is 183 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:26,400 fantastic. Can I show you your best bets? The main thing I that drew me 184 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,520 to Strictly was learning a new skill and having fun. Me and Jowita will 185 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,760 be out good pairing. She is a firecracker, hopefully I can bring 186 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:45,400 the passion the paso doble reveals. You are bringing a whole lot. 187 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:56,600 If this is not torture I don't know what is. 188 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:02,920 what is. You are wonderful. It is pronounced rumba? I am looking 189 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:08,720 forward to shaking my hips. 190 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,240 forward to shaking my hips. You got away with that because of great 191 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:17,720 storytelling. I think you are very talented. We are going for some big 192 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:25,760 technical lifts. Hopefully by Saturday I will be a lifting pro. 193 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,800 That was the strongest I have seen. Lows were left she would do in a top 194 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,040 class professional. 195 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,600 class professional. I have never experienced pride like that or cried 196 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:50,720 as much when I watch it. This will be the toughest challenge yet. 197 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,960 be the toughest challenge yet. You are 100% giving your best. What let 198 00:18:53,960 --> 00:19:00,920 you down was too many mistakes. One thing I hope you will take from this 199 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:06,120 whole experience has he will believe in himself more. Because he is 200 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:14,640 amazing. This is improved from your waltz. We need to work and 201 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,360 consistency from the beginning until the end. Strictly has been an 202 00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:26,920 adventure. I am very grateful for the time I have. Your aura shines so 203 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:33,840 bright. I absolutely adore you. It is the most incredible, most loving 204 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,080 and wonderful family to be part of. I have loved every second of it. 205 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:45,320 APPLAUSE I can see you getting emotional, 206 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:57,560 what has meant the most to you? Number one, it has been an 207 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:08,320 incredible person in this girl here. Geez. The sense of family, the love 208 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:18,600 and the joy that it brings every week. The people and the journey. 209 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:30,120 And the idea of not knowing how to do any ballroom and then learning in 210 00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:39,320 3.5 days and performing it to millions of people. It is wild. Also 211 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,400 this should apply to any of the couple still in it and the past 212 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:52,760 couples as well. Or the pros, celebrities. Yeah! Doing Strictly, 213 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,320 you have already won. You have got the achievement of doing Strictly 214 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:05,720 and then anything on top of that is the icing, the cherry on top of the 215 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,720 cake. But we won. APPLAUSE 216 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,120 We have loved having you. Please give it up for Lawrence and Jowita. 217 00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:19,240 CHEERING From a dynamic duo to a terrific 218 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,200 trio. This Wednesday we have a brilliant pro panel joins us for a 219 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:30,400 dance deep dive. We want your questions for them. Perhaps you want 220 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:35,960 to know why they love Delta so much, what was wrong with Tabby and Mark 221 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,000 was not quickstep old and why was surely so obsessed with John's 222 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,160 tangle footwork or why did the start performing. Whatever it might be you 223 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,560 can e-mail It Takes Two at BBC Lockwood at UK or send your 224 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,760 questions. 225 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:57,000 Lockwood at UK or send your questions. You can also scan the QR 226 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,880 code on the screen. Loads more to talk about, welcome back our 227 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,920 all-star panel. Tabby and 228 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:07,720 talk about, welcome back our all-star panel. Tabby and Mark went 229 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,960 to joint bottom of the leaderboard which no one saw coming. Were you 230 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:16,240 shocked? 231 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,000 shocked? I was not necessarily shocked. Unfortunately I think they 232 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:26,520 had a very strong couples choice routine with the quickstep you could 233 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:33,600 tell that she was not as confident as week before and when you set a 234 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:39,480 high bar the judges expect you so unfortunately I understood why they 235 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,520 were at the bottom. Some people online say they were under March. I 236 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,920 think so. She is really technically good and you can tell she put so 237 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:53,840 much work and effort into showing that. Probably under marked but I 238 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:59,000 get it, it is so hard when that was almost a perfect couples choice or 239 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:06,280 anything after that could feel a bit different. Poisoned chalice. Graeme 240 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,680 and Lauren at the bottom, Craig said his footwork was sticky, what does 241 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:15,240 that mean? A very interesting description. 242 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:23,960 LAUGHTER Explain the judges, please. I assume 243 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:29,000 I understand what he means and I will base it off the samba, what you 244 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:36,280 expect is a glide, expect your foot to stay on the floor from one minute 245 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:44,440 to the next. When you can lift off before it can easily look sticky. I 246 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:52,360 understand what he meant. He has consistently scored higher in the 247 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:58,520 ballroom, is your ballroom boy? I think so. When I found out, I was 248 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,160 talking to Graeme last week, he said he had a samba, I was like... Good 249 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:11,000 luck! The samba is a hard dance but he did very well with the tools he 250 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,040 had in his arsenal. He was also green, lots of distractions going 251 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:28,160 on. He has made it through and I look forward to perhaps the dances. 252 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:34,800 Craig loved it, who do you agree with? I thought it was a little 253 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:40,840 bit... I am not a massive fan of couples choice. What? Really? I am a 254 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,760 traditionalist. 255 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,400 traditionalist. Having said that, I know this is a bit Will and Dianne 256 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,520 but Harry blew me away so it has the option for me to be impressed. I 257 00:24:52,520 --> 00:25:00,360 thought this was good, you know, I didn't think it was great. I 258 00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:03,680 casually enjoyed it and I think you did a good job with the content. The 259 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:08,760 acting and characterisation he smashed. Considering he has a 260 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:16,720 newborn. But it was just like... You were not blown away? Next up Delta 261 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:23,400 was so good. You thought she was AI. How did this week compared to her 262 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:29,560 past dances? Especially with her injury it feels like it is hard 263 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:35,000 going back into frame. She does the clever thing of looking like you 264 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,640 glide across the floor. She looks so effortless. If characterisation, 265 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,480 this is why I love Halloween, people get into their characters and take 266 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:52,680 themselves out of there. They killed it, watching the VT before, they 267 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,520 have smashed these characters. Finally let's talk about Dani and 268 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:06,360 Nikita. He wanted more personality, did she deliver? She did 110%. You 269 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:11,640 could tell she was fully invested and it read beautifully on screen. 270 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:22,160 It was lovely to watch. It is the confidence you were saying. Exactly. 271 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:29,960 Anton called it her best dance yet. Do you agree? 272 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,240 Do you agree? I was confused, I did not know if you are allowed to do 273 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,120 lifts. I remember it being drilled into me by my partner saying toes 274 00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:48,000 cannot leave the floor so I thought... I love how much of a 275 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,200 stickler we wanted to know if a new couple will top the leaderboard and 276 00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:04,000 the results are in. 53% of people say yes, brand-new couple are going 277 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:14,680 to top the leaderboard, who will that be? I think Dani probably. 278 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:21,640 Definitely has the potential. It can be anyone, the competition has 279 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,640 definitely got tougher. Everyone is good. The thing is we have different 280 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,440 couples on top of the leaderboard every single week. You can tell 281 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:39,160 everyone is pushing 110%. I don't know, it is hard. 282 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,840 know, it is hard. You are against everyone else which shows it can be 283 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:48,360 so different each week. I think in that group that have not been there, 284 00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:53,520 I reckon Dani. 285 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:05,000 I reckon Dani. I would not want to be in this series, I 286 00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:10,560 be in this series, I would be out week one. Who do you want to see 287 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:21,560 take on the Glitterball? That is different. I think Delta is very 288 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:30,680 closely in a league of her own. But out of my top I think Tabby has what 289 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:36,360 it takes. 290 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:46,200 it takes. Morley, very quickly. Delta and Kai. We loved you being 291 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:51,800 here, give it up to my all-star panel. 292 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,320 That's it for tonight!
