00:00 Nikita! Nikita!
00:02 I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can do it.
00:05 Nikita Layton, how good are you guys?
00:09 How are you feeling? Is it all that you thought it would be?
00:11 It's kind of like exceeded all my expectations, I'm not gonna lie.
00:14 But I'm having the most magical time.
00:19 So much fun, every week's different moments and yeah, I can't believe I'm, yeah, I'm still here.
00:26 So yeah, I'm happy.
00:28 Last week, just your face just made everyone so happy.
00:32 Do you watch your back and does it make you happy?
00:34 Like looking at yourself having such a good time?
00:36 This one was a key one, I think.
00:38 When we had like a little moment in dress rehearsal,
00:42 I was really nervous about like a specific step.
00:45 And I was just like, I really just wanted to go well.
00:47 And as soon as we've done like this spin situation,
00:50 we just like jumped into this place.
00:52 Yeah.
00:52 It's like, "Whoo!" Like, "Period!"
00:55 It was just like, I was screaming.
00:57 Even though we were buzzing, I was still like shouting at you, "Calm down."
01:00 Once we've done this split, we knew that there was just coming home one moment.
01:04 Yeah.
01:05 I had to tell him, "Calm down, calm down!"
01:07 Nikita, you must feel like you've won the lottery being paired with Leighton
01:12 because what a pairing you make.
01:14 How are you feeling?
01:14 Do you feel like you've won the lottery, Nikita?
01:17 I'm asking you a question!
01:19 No, um...
01:21 No!
01:21 No, let me answer!
01:24 No, definitely.
01:25 You know, you can even see it now.
01:26 We're having lots of fun.
01:27 We're just really just messing with each other all the time.
01:30 And that's the most important thing.
01:32 Obviously, it's lovely to have somebody who,
01:34 whenever you ask them to do something,
01:36 they're like, "Yeah, of course, I will try it.
01:37 Let's give it a go."
01:39 Has such a positive attitude.
01:40 But for me, the most important thing is when you go so well along with your partner.
01:44 It just makes my whole job so much easier.
01:46 Oh, it's so lovely.
01:47 And what about how your life has changed then, Leighton, since being on this show?
01:51 It's actually wild.
01:52 Like, I've taken a few moments over the past couple of weeks
01:54 and just been like, "Okay, this is not normal."
01:57 It's been quite magical.
02:00 Even just being out and about.
02:01 Like, just popping to the coffee shop and just like, you know,
02:04 this morning, this lady with a baby in her palm,
02:07 she's like, "I just want to say, we're rooting for you."
02:10 Like, people are just so nice.
02:12 And I've not had that kind of love from...
02:15 It's just a different demographic of people as well.
02:18 Strictly fans are the best fans.
02:20 Yeah.
02:21 Oh, my God.
02:21 My favourite bit now, can you do an impression of one another?
02:26 Merda!
02:29 We slayed the house down, bitch!
02:33 Nikita!
02:35 Nikita.
02:35 I don't know if I can do it.
02:38 I don't know if I can do it.
02:38 I don't know if I can do it.
02:39 Is that me?
02:42 With all the hand expressions.
02:44 Or he comes and we have a pair of sunglasses.
02:46 He comes and wears them like, "Morning."
02:49 [Laughter]
02:51 Merda!
02:51 I can't do the duck's ass flip.
02:53 The journey to the top.
02:56 I don't know, look at my pillow.
02:57 I brought the pillow in and the blanket
02:58 because I had to sleep on your ass.
03:00 And it's always this.
03:05 Or this one.
03:07 Or this one.
03:07 Lex, please act for the camera like it's stuff.
03:10 It's called being an actor, honey.
03:16 Oh, no, because actors...
03:18 No, okay, well, fair enough.
03:19 When I breathe, I breathe like this.
03:20 Yes, you do breathe like that.
03:23 But this doesn't need to be...
03:25 I can't help but I give you drama.
03:29 Wait, no, but they're getting drama inside!
03:33 Well, I would say...
03:34 Oh, yeah, go on, yeah.
03:35 I would say something like, "Oh my god, I'm killing that."
03:37 No.
03:37 "Oh my god, this is amazing.
03:40 We ate that."
03:41 No.
03:41 He's very...
03:43 I want to do the actor challenge.
03:45 Because he does have a way of words which is quite practical.
03:49 What, "disturbing to the eye"?
03:51 Yeah, who says "disturbing to the eye"?
03:55 When something is not visually pleasing, it disturbs my eye.
03:58 Disturbs?
04:01 And what have you called me?
04:01 You called me...
04:02 It's from German.
04:03 It's one of the languages.
04:04 Yeah.
04:05 I just want to say thanks.
04:05 Yeah, well, to be fair, we've both got our own languages going on.
04:08 So, fair play.
04:09 (upbeat music)
