00:00:19Live from ITV Studios, welcome to Musicals Night!
00:00:24Tonight, tonight, won't be just any night. Tonight there will be no morning star.
00:00:43Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight. And for us, stars will stop where they are.
00:00:56Today the minutes seem like hours. The hours go so slowly and still the sky is light.
00:01:10All will grow bright and make this endless day, endless night, tonight.
00:01:25Please welcome our skating stars, Anton Ferdinand and Annette Dietert.
00:01:32Dan Edgar and Vanessa James-Armorose.
00:01:36Molly Pierce and Colin Grafton.
00:01:40Michaela Strachan and Mark Panretti.
00:01:44And Sam Aston and Molly Lanahan.
00:01:48Today the minutes seem like hours. The hours go so slowly and still the sky is light.
00:02:02All will grow bright and make this endless day, endless night, tonight.
00:02:20Please welcome your hosts, Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern.
00:02:33Wow, wow, wow. How amazing was that? I think let's hear it one more time, shall we?
00:02:39The sensational Michael Bull and Alfie Bowe.
00:02:42Honestly, goosebumps.
00:02:47Welcome everybody to Dancing On Ice. It is musicals night.
00:02:52While you're up for a treat, our couples are ready to raise the curtain on their most spectacular routines yet as they step out for a night at the show.
00:03:00There'll be flamboyant moves and loads of over-the-top jazz hands.
00:03:04That's just from him.
00:03:05I'm just excited about tonight.
00:03:07We've got plenty to get you dancing in the aisles, including a performance from the incredible cast of Moulin Rouge! The Musical. That's a little bit later.
00:03:15At the end of the show, somebody will take their final bow because one more couple will leave the competition tonight.
00:03:21Well, to avoid that fate, they will need to impress you and the toughest critics in town.
00:03:26Please welcome the judges.
00:03:29Ashley Banjo and Oti Mabuse.
00:03:33And our head judges, Jane Torgal and Chris De Medine.
00:03:39Looking good, judges. Right, shall we do it?
00:03:43Let's get this show on the road with our first couple of the night.
00:03:46Mamma Mia! It's Molly and Colin.
00:03:52Last week was incredible.
00:03:54This is the kind of thing that puts you right back in the race to be in those final stages.
00:03:58We've got our highest scores so far and now I feel like we're back in the game.
00:04:02What we've got to do now is make sure that we keep going up and up and up.
00:04:07We attempted the headbanging for the first time today.
00:04:10I'm so scared!
00:04:11It is quite nerve-wracking, I can't lie.
00:04:13It's scary having your head so close to the ice.
00:04:16Go big or go home.
00:04:17We want to keep going up so we're pushing ourselves.
00:04:21This week we are skating to the iconic Mamma Mia.
00:04:25I couldn't be happier that we have Mamma Mia.
00:04:27I actually went to the Mamma Mia Greek Island.
00:04:29Yeah, I'm super excited for this.
00:04:31I have a little surprise in store.
00:04:33You are going to go to the West End and meet some of the cast of Mamma Mia.
00:04:36Stop!
00:04:40So Colin's obviously going to be taking on Skye and I'm going to be Sophie.
00:04:44One of the issues I have is I'm not an actor.
00:04:46Do you guys have any tips for me?
00:04:48I think when it comes to Sophie's energy, she's almost just like a bubbling pot of water.
00:04:53The whole show, if you radiate that kind of anticipation, she's 20, she's got no fear.
00:04:59So do you feel like you have any similarities to Sophie?
00:05:02We're both very young and I suppose just trying to figure life out a little bit.
00:05:07I've had the best time at the theatre.
00:05:09I feel like it's been the perfect place to come to get a little bit of inspo for our show this week.
00:05:13Tanya's sun hat.
00:05:14Oh, look at that bad boy. Get me out on stage tonight.
00:05:17Now I'm ready to get back on the ice and hopefully smash it this weekend.
00:05:36Woo!
00:06:06How can I resist you?
00:06:08Mamma mia, does it show again?
00:06:11My, my, just how much I miss you.
00:06:15Yes, I've been brokenhearted.
00:06:18Blue since the day we parted.
00:06:22Why, why did I ever let you go?
00:06:25Mamma mia, now I really know.
00:06:29My, my, I should not have let you go.
00:06:32Yes, I've been brokenhearted.
00:06:35Blue since the day we parted.
00:06:39Why, why did I ever let you go?
00:06:43Mamma mia, now I really know.
00:06:46My, my, I should not have let you go.
00:06:56Mamma mia, there she goes again.
00:06:59Molly brought the sunshine and the good times with that uplifting tribute
00:07:03to one of the West End's longest and most loved shows.
00:07:08Our Greek island goddess kicks us off with a cartwheel
00:07:12and will the scorpion lift prevent her from being brokenhearted?
00:07:17She proves she was a real super trooper with the headbanger.
00:07:25Well, Molly doesn't want this to be her final curtain call
00:07:28but are the judges in the mood for an encore?
00:07:31Ashley?
00:07:32Nine.
00:07:35Oti?
00:07:36Nine.
00:07:39Jane?
00:07:40Nine.
00:07:42And Chris?
00:07:438.5.
00:07:4635.5 out of 40.
00:07:49Wow, that is an excellent score.
00:07:51Thank you very much, our commentator Alex Crook.
00:07:54Oh, Molly, I know how much you wanted those scores
00:07:56and you literally threw yourself into it.
00:07:58The first lady to do a headbanger this series, well done.
00:08:01How was that?
00:08:02It was amazing.
00:08:03I mean, hats off to Colin because, yeah, I trust him so much.
00:08:07Yeah, I could bet, I thought you were going to hit the camera at one point.
00:08:10It was incredible.
00:08:11Very brave, very brave.
00:08:12Yeah, so brave.
00:08:13Ashley, what a start.
00:08:14What a start.
00:08:15What a skate, some really lovely moments.
00:08:17I think we're still seeing all of the improvement
00:08:19that we spoke about last week
00:08:21but I think what is absolutely critical this week
00:08:24is the character and how you perform.
00:08:26And to say it simply, I just think you performed your socks off.
00:08:29I think you were so committed to the character,
00:08:31you gave us so much energy, so much commitment to the piece
00:08:34and you completed a headbanger.
00:08:35So for me, it was a great, great skate.
00:08:37Well done.
00:08:39Great start.
00:08:40Jane?
00:08:41Yeah, I loved the attack that you had tonight.
00:08:43I mean, you had a lovely slow piece last week, which was beautiful
00:08:46and this is more challenging because it's faster
00:08:49but I loved that you kept that confidence there
00:08:51and you attacked the skating.
00:08:52And again, well done for doing the headbanger.
00:08:55Oti?
00:08:56I mean, I thought you brought the energy.
00:08:58You came out there fast, you gave us the speed
00:09:01and you performed, which most of the time you kind of look worried
00:09:04and I was worried for you because I thought,
00:09:06okay, this is fast.
00:09:07The last time we saw her fast, she struggled.
00:09:09But you did it, you had time, you finished your lines,
00:09:11you gave us transitions.
00:09:13Yes, Molly!
00:09:15And Chris, 8.5, I love the audience reaction to that.
00:09:20It's only .5 less than a 9, isn't it?
00:09:22Yes!
00:09:23Not that big a difference.
00:09:25I loved the way you came out, Molly.
00:09:27You attacked it, you had the speed,
00:09:29but then once it came around the corner and started the step sequence,
00:09:32it bogged down again for me, it slowed down.
00:09:35I know you were coming to a stop to do the cartwheel
00:09:37but the step sequence did start getting a bit scratchy
00:09:40and then the movement over the ice was great
00:09:42and the headbanger was great,
00:09:44but it's just those moments that you're compartmentising them again,
00:09:47that I see this one bit and then it stops
00:09:49and I see the next bit and then it stops.
00:09:51Last week, you transitioned and flowed through beautifully all of that,
00:09:55just that this week it felt like that previous week to me.
00:09:58So keep working at it and the marks will go up, I promise.
00:10:02Thank you, judges.
00:10:03Thank you very much.
00:10:04For now, it's Molly and Colin.
00:10:06Well done.
00:10:11Remember, at the end of the show,
00:10:12the judges score what we combine with your votes.
00:10:15Two couples in the lowest overall score
00:10:17will be facing the skater at the end of the show.
00:10:19Somebody will be going out tonight.
00:10:21The vote opens once all our couples have performed
00:10:24and you can go online to vote for free.
00:10:26Just scan this QR code to take you straight there.
00:10:29Now, it's time for a quick break already,
00:10:31but coming up, what the dickens?
00:10:32What?
00:10:33Sam and Molly take on Oliver.
00:10:34See you in a bit.
00:10:46APPLAUSE
00:10:49Welcome back to Dancing On Ice where it's musicals night.
00:10:52Stephen, what is next?
00:10:53Well, I'll tell you what's next.
00:10:55I'm going to sing you a song as it's musicals night.
00:10:57How about a bit of South Pacific?
00:10:59Oh, yes, please. Do you reckon you could do it justice?
00:11:01Oh, please, Holl. How long have we... Nobody chatting.
00:11:04Oh, OK, go on.
00:11:05Some enchanted evening
00:11:10You may see a stranger
00:11:14OK, that's all very good,
00:11:15but I can literally see Alfie Bovo.
00:11:18Sorry, mate, sorry.
00:11:20Don't worry.
00:11:21We'll do it for real.
00:11:23Aspects of love.
00:11:24Oh, yes. OK, here we go.
00:11:26Love will never, never let you be the same
00:11:32Love will never, never let you be the same
00:11:41That was very good, I'll give you that.
00:11:43However, Michael Bowe, I can see you.
00:11:46What?
00:11:47You weren't meant to be dropping out of here.
00:11:49Well, you crack on, Holl,
00:11:50we're just three guys just looking cool and hanging out.
00:11:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:53Right, it's time for our next couple.
00:11:55Taking on Oliver, it's Sam and Molly.
00:12:02Last week was good fun.
00:12:04But sometimes I do get a little bit carried away.
00:12:08You turn it on, but just be careful
00:12:10that we don't have those little slips.
00:12:12This week we're skating to I'd Do Anything from Oliver.
00:12:15I'd do anything
00:12:17You're going to be the Artful Dodger,
00:12:19which I think is an amazing part to play.
00:12:22The Artful Dodger.
00:12:23He's cheeky chappy and always up to no good.
00:12:27So the Artful Dodger is a little bit of a pickpocket.
00:12:30You'd never steal anything, right?
00:12:32No, what the heck.
00:12:34Joe, do we know where the silver jacket is, please?
00:12:37You've got to pick a pocket or two
00:12:40You've got to pick a pocket or two, boy
00:12:43Oh, I just have a session, I'm just about to get on the ice.
00:12:46Ashley, can I just talk to you through this?
00:12:48Yeah, of course.
00:12:56Sam, what are you doing?
00:12:57Just reading.
00:12:58We have training to do, let's go.
00:13:02I can relate to the Artful Dodger.
00:13:04I'm the youngest of nine.
00:13:06We got up to all sorts of mischief,
00:13:08like putting ham in our socks
00:13:11to try and train the cat to claw people's ankles.
00:13:16Musical Week is a good one to really get into a character again,
00:13:20but I'm going to really, really concentrate on the steps as well.
00:13:24So just need to try and combine the two this week.
00:13:27Performance, no wobbles.
00:13:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:13:35I'd do anything for you, dear
00:13:39Anything for you means everything to me
00:13:45I know that I'd go anywhere for your smile
00:13:51Anywhere for your smile
00:13:54Everywhere I'd see
00:13:58Would you climb a hill?
00:14:00Anything
00:14:01Wear a daffodil?
00:14:03Anything
00:14:04Leave me all your will?
00:14:06Anything
00:14:07Even fight my bill?
00:14:09What? Fisty cuffs?
00:14:10I'd risk everything for one kiss
00:14:14Everything
00:14:15Yes, I'd do anything
00:14:18Anything
00:14:19Anything for you
00:14:21Come on, boys!
00:14:24Wonderful, Max! Wonderful!
00:14:32Would you rob a shop?
00:14:34Anything
00:14:35Would you risk a drop?
00:14:37Anything
00:14:38And oh, your eyes go pop!
00:14:40Anything
00:14:41When you come down, flop!
00:14:43I'd everything
00:14:45We'd risk everything to keep you
00:14:49In the swim?
00:14:50Yes, we do
00:14:52Anything
00:14:53Anything
00:14:54Anything for you
00:15:06Sam really would do anything to make the final four.
00:15:09He took us back to Victorian London in search of a better life
00:15:13and became our very own Artful Dodger.
00:15:16APPLAUSE
00:15:21Will the top hat mean top marks for his lift combination?
00:15:25He was hoping to avoid any unwanted plot twists in the cartwheel.
00:15:30And it was a gruelling routine that concluded with the counterbalance.
00:15:35So, are the judges saying,
00:15:37Please, sir, we want more!
00:15:39Ashley?
00:15:40Nine.
00:15:41APPLAUSE
00:15:42Oti?
00:15:439.5!
00:15:46Jay?
00:15:479.
00:15:50And Chris?
00:15:51This is going to mess them up upstairs,
00:15:53because it says 8.5, but I meant to put in 9.5.
00:15:56APPLAUSE
00:16:02That is great news!
00:16:04Tell you what, Sam, honestly, mate, it was so good.
00:16:07It was an amazing, amazing performance.
00:16:09How was it for you?
00:16:10It was so much fun, honestly.
00:16:12I've enjoyed this week the most.
00:16:14Coming into it, I was like, I'm not sure about musicals,
00:16:16but honestly, I had an absolute blast, it's been brilliant.
00:16:18It was a brilliant routine.
00:16:19The only stumbling...
00:16:20I'm actually in front of the judges' desk, but look at those scores.
00:16:23I know, I'm tired, I'm tired.
00:16:24Shh, shh, shh.
00:16:25Well, we just give you your new score, which is now 37,
00:16:27which is your highest score of the series so far.
00:16:29Well done!
00:16:30APPLAUSE
00:16:31Jane, that's up to you.
00:16:33Yeah, I love that, Sam.
00:16:35This style really suited you,
00:16:38and I was expecting that once you started skating,
00:16:41we'd lose the Artful Dodger,
00:16:43but he stayed the whole time, and that was great to see.
00:16:46And the skating was lovely and smooth,
00:16:48there was just that moment there,
00:16:49otherwise it might have been higher for me.
00:16:51Oti, you were so close to the ten there.
00:16:53I know, I was thinking about it, but I love seeing you in character.
00:16:57I feel you really bring the performance alive
00:16:59when you're outside of yourself.
00:17:01It was cheeky, Ash and I were laughing, you were funny,
00:17:04but also you used your technique to improve the whole skate,
00:17:07which was beautiful.
00:17:09And I thought when the pro dance skaters came on,
00:17:11you just took it up a notch, and I was like,
00:17:13yes, Sam, this is what I've been waiting for!
00:17:16APPLAUSE
00:17:17So, yeah, Musical Week is all about the character,
00:17:21and you brought the character from beginning to end,
00:17:24you told the story, you stayed in character.
00:17:26Even with the, what was it, a little stumble?
00:17:28I didn't see a stumble. Nothing, we saw nothing.
00:17:30But you faced it, ooh, and you played it, you acted it out,
00:17:33it didn't faze you at all.
00:17:34And so it was a complete piece for me.
00:17:369.5, not 8.5. Thank you.
00:17:38APPLAUSE
00:17:41I'll start with a little negative first.
00:17:43It's not really a negative, it's more of a little no,
00:17:45which was I almost wanted more.
00:17:47Like, weirdly, I almost wanted it to go up another gear,
00:17:50I was so into it when it stopped.
00:17:52But that's not a negative, it's a positive to show you how good it was.
00:17:55An OT sat next to me and summed it up the best,
00:17:57she was skating and she went, oh, so smooth!
00:18:00I was like, it's so true!
00:18:02It's so smooth, so buttery, you were so in character,
00:18:05and we know that when you have a character to latch on to,
00:18:08that's when you do your best work, and you proved it once again.
00:18:11So well done. Great comments. Thank you, judges.
00:18:13For now, it is Sam and Molly!
00:18:15Well done.
00:18:20Well, they all want to bring their Sam on musical tonight,
00:18:23but one couple will be going home,
00:18:25so make sure you get behind your favourite when the vote opens later.
00:18:28There's the QR code to take you to the website,
00:18:30or you can head to itv.com forward slash vote,
00:18:33or stv.tv forward slash vote.
00:18:36Right, time for another break now, but coming up,
00:18:38life is a cabaret for Michaela and Mark.
00:18:40Get your fishnets on! Already have.
00:18:42See you after the break.
00:18:58Welcome back to Dancing On Ice,
00:19:00where we're enjoying songs from the shows on musicals night.
00:19:03Still to come, we've got a spectacular performance
00:19:05from the West End cast of Moulin Rouge! The Musical,
00:19:08but our next couple are taking on cabaret.
00:19:10Now, fun fact... Go on.
00:19:12..it's set in a venue named after not one, but two chocolate bars.
00:19:15Oh, yes, we're off to the Double Delicate Galaxy!
00:19:18No, the Kit Kat Club.
00:19:20Of course it is! It's Michaela and Mark.
00:19:22It's obvious.
00:19:27Last week, we were second to bottom of the leaderboard.
00:19:30Amazing.
00:19:31But now we want to see a different character from you.
00:19:34But we're at musicals next week, so that's where you get to shine.
00:19:39What are you skating to this week?
00:19:41Shall I give you a clue? Yes, please.
00:19:43Lola Nardi.
00:19:45No!
00:19:46Cabaret! It's cabaret!
00:19:48The character this week, Sally Balls,
00:19:50is not that same energy that you naturally bring.
00:19:53It's a strong character with a little bit of vulnerability
00:19:56and with a bit of bonkers.
00:19:58Woo!
00:20:03I'm really excited because I'm going to meet Marisha Wallace,
00:20:06who's currently playing Sally Balls in the West End, in cabaret.
00:20:10I've got to do the Dancing On Ice version of Sally Balls.
00:20:13Yes!
00:20:14If you were doing it, what sort of advice would you give me?
00:20:17Sally Balls is all about, you know, being a part of her body
00:20:20and just being free.
00:20:21Can you show me some of the things that you're going to be doing?
00:20:24I'm sort of starting what I think is the iconic Sally Balls
00:20:27sort of pose, which is...
00:20:29Now, if you're giving that, lift your chin and give it...
00:20:32Everything has to be bigger.
00:20:34We just do bigger like that. Yes!
00:20:36But even you just doing it now, you gave...
00:20:38Ah! Which was fierce!
00:20:40Because you told me, girl, you've got to fake it till you make it, OK?
00:20:43Put it there!
00:20:45Shall we do the pose? Yes.
00:20:47I'm really looking forward to putting my version of Sally Balls on ice.
00:20:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:21:01What good is sitting alone in your room
00:21:06Come hear the music play
00:21:11Life is a cabaret, old chum
00:21:15Come to the cabaret
00:21:20Count the knitting, the fork and the broom
00:21:25Time for a holiday
00:21:29Life is a cabaret, old chum
00:21:34Come to the cabaret
00:21:38Come taste the wine
00:21:40Come hear the band
00:21:42Come blow your horn
00:21:44Start celebrating
00:21:46Right this way, your table's waiting
00:21:50Start by admitting
00:21:53From cradle to tomb
00:21:56Isn't that long a stay?
00:22:00Life is a cabaret, old chum
00:22:05Only a cabaret, old chum
00:22:09And I love a cabaret
00:22:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:22:28It was fun and flamboyant, just like Cabaret's leading lady herself.
00:22:32And Michaela looked like she revelled in being in the spotlight.
00:22:40The audience were doffing their bowler hats
00:22:42during the pull-through with a twist.
00:22:45And Michaela wanted her rotating teapot to be a real showstopper.
00:22:51And the helicopter propelled her to centre stage.
00:22:57But the big question, did it impress our old chums on the judging panel?
00:23:01Ashley? Nine.
00:23:05Oti? Nine.
00:23:08Jane? Nine point five.
00:23:12And Chris? Nine.
00:23:1536.5 out of 40.
00:23:18Oh, Michaela, that's your highest score of the series as well.
00:23:22I know that'll mean a lot to you.
00:23:24I mean, this was really taking you back to your roots, wasn't it?
00:23:27I love doing this. I mean, and I look so different.
00:23:30I hope everyone recognises me so they know who to vote for.
00:23:33Looking gorgeous. The audience loved you.
00:23:36Judges, where are we going to go first? Oti?
00:23:38Yes, I mean, wow, Michaela, I thought you just were spectacular.
00:23:42You were so in the character of it.
00:23:44And I think you and Mark both skating together,
00:23:46you really used the ring so fearlessly.
00:23:49I was like, yes, this is her night. Brilliant.
00:23:52Chris, you're making lots of notes here.
00:23:56Stop looking at my words, Stephen.
00:23:59Yeah, what I like, that you took on board what we said last week,
00:24:02that you were more connected up, you were more partnering.
00:24:05And what I really liked, it was less frantic.
00:24:08You looked really together.
00:24:10And I really appreciate the musicality of it.
00:24:13When it was fast, it was fast.
00:24:15When it slowed down, the tempo slowed down.
00:24:17And musically, it was really together.
00:24:19And tonight, it was a much better performance for me, so well done.
00:24:23Thank you. These are great scores, actually.
00:24:25Yeah, well deserved as well.
00:24:27Picking up on what Chris said about the musicality and the structure,
00:24:31I think the structure of this was like its very own little musical number.
00:24:35The way that you transitioned from the lifts into the skating,
00:24:38into the more dancey parts,
00:24:40the way that you presented the character was great.
00:24:43If anything, that was my only issue.
00:24:45It felt a little muted.
00:24:47I wanted you just to let go and live in that character so much more.
00:24:51It felt presented so well, but I wanted you just to be free.
00:24:54It felt like it was slightly on your mind
00:24:56and you thought your way through it,
00:24:58but presented brilliantly nevertheless.
00:25:00And a lovely 9.5 from you, Jane.
00:25:03Actually, she had a helicopter to do at the end,
00:25:06so maybe that was kind of on her mind.
00:25:08I think the helicopter might have been on the mind.
00:25:11No, I thought it was a complete performance.
00:25:13You stayed in character.
00:25:15You took on board more difficult holds and transitions.
00:25:18The footwork was all there, and we were seeing new movements,
00:25:21and particularly the helicopter, so, yeah, well done.
00:25:24Everyone's on it tonight. Thank you, judges.
00:25:26Right, for now, it's Michaela and Mark.
00:25:29Here we go.
00:25:34Remember, two couples will face tonight's skate-off.
00:25:37They really want to avoid that,
00:25:39so they need you to vote for your favourite,
00:25:41and you can do that a bit later on.
00:25:43Right, coming up on Musicals Night,
00:25:45Dan and Vanessa head to the Wild West.
00:25:47Saddle up, we'll be right back.
00:25:49Yeah!
00:26:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:26:06Welcome back to our night at the musicals.
00:26:09Our next couple are coming up in just a moment,
00:26:11but first of all, look who's here.
00:26:13It's musical theatre legends Michael Ball and Alfie Burr!
00:26:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:26:18Lovely to have you here.
00:26:20Honestly, thank you for opening the show again.
00:26:22It was just beautiful. Thank you.
00:26:24What do you think of our night at the musicals?
00:26:26It's just sensational. It's given me so many ideas.
00:26:28Les Mis on ice. You and me, what do you say?
00:26:31Oh, yes! Joyous!
00:26:33Yes, please! We can make it happen.
00:26:35No, don't.
00:26:37Alfie, later on, Anton is performing to your version of Bring Him Home.
00:26:40Yes. Any advice for him to take on the role of Jean Valjean?
00:26:43Don't fall.
00:26:45That is top tip.
00:26:47You guys are going on tour again? We are.
00:26:49Aren't we? We celebrate ten years together.
00:26:51We go out in the end of March,
00:26:53right round the country, doing an arena tour.
00:26:57Having fun. We love what we do.
00:26:59We're celebrating the last album and all the other shows we've been in.
00:27:02You do it so well. Thank you.
00:27:04Also, just before you go, I thought we'd nailed it earlier on in the show.
00:27:08I know you're a great double act, but how about us three, a trio?
00:27:11LAUGHTER
00:27:15OK, thanks.
00:27:17That went well.
00:27:19You can catch Michael and Alfie on their together at home tour
00:27:23at venues across the UK in March and April.
00:27:26Right, next night, it's our TOWIE star,
00:27:28who's heading to the Wild West with the classic Oklahoma.
00:27:31But you know what? An Essex boy should feel right at home in the Wild West.
00:27:34Why's that?
00:27:36Well, I had a few builders found that way earlier on.
00:27:38And, um, right, cowboys?
00:27:40I'm joking, fellas, I'm joking!
00:27:42I'm joking!
00:27:44It's Dan and Vanessa.
00:27:49I'm very happy to be at the top, three weeks in a row.
00:27:53But it's hard to stay there, so I'm feeling the pressure.
00:27:56Yes.
00:27:58So this week, for Musicals Week, we are skating to Oklahoma.
00:28:01And you are Curly, a young, handsome cowboy.
00:28:08I'm definitely looking forward to getting into the cowboy look.
00:28:11I dressed up as a cowboy when I was a kid.
00:28:13Boots, hat, a whip.
00:28:15It's not a whip, it's a lasso.
00:28:17Yeah, a whip.
00:28:19Happily hop, three turn, yep.
00:28:21It's definitely our most challenging routine so far.
00:28:23I just need to work out how my feet are doing.
00:28:25I can't get the rhythm of it.
00:28:27Ay, ay, ay! You OK?
00:28:29Yeah.
00:28:31We had a big fall today, but we're trying some really hard stuff.
00:28:34We have a twist pop-up.
00:28:36We have a throw-double-flip that's never been done.
00:28:39Musicals will be the death of me.
00:28:41I think we're both going to need a little bit of help
00:28:43on this barn-dancing cowboy style.
00:28:45Bring it on.
00:28:48Let's go for it.
00:28:50So, who is going to partner with Dan?
00:28:59With your partner, Dosey Dose.
00:29:01One, two, three.
00:29:03One, two, three.
00:29:05How about this one?
00:29:07I think he's too hot to skip.
00:29:09There's definitely a couple of tips we can take away.
00:29:11We're definitely in the cowboy spirit.
00:29:13Yeah.
00:29:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:29:21Oh, Lahoma
00:29:24Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain
00:29:28And the waving wheat can sure smell sweet
00:29:31When the wind comes right behind the rain
00:29:35Oh, Lahoma
00:29:38Every night my honey lamb and I
00:29:41Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
00:29:45Making lazy circles in the sky
00:29:48We know we belong to the land
00:29:51And the land we belong to is grand
00:29:55And when we say
00:29:57Yah!
00:29:58Bye-yeh-bye-oh-yeh
00:30:01We're only saying you're doing fine
00:30:04Oh, Lahoma
00:30:06Oh, Lahoma
00:30:07Okay
00:30:09Oh, Lahoma
00:30:11Okay
00:30:13Oh, Lahoma
00:30:14Oh, Lahoma
00:30:15Oh, Lahoma
00:30:16Oh, Lahoma
00:30:17Oh, Lahoma
00:30:18Oh, Lahoma
00:30:19Oh, Lahoma
00:30:20Oh, Lahoma
00:30:21Oh, Lahoma
00:30:22We know we belong to the land
00:30:25And the land we belong to is grand
00:30:28And when we say
00:30:30Yah!
00:30:31Bye-yeh-bye-oh-yeh
00:30:35We're only saying you're doing fine
00:30:37Oh, Lahoma
00:30:39Oh, Lahoma
00:30:41Okay
00:30:42Oh, Lahoma
00:30:44Okay
00:30:45Oh, Lahoma
00:30:50Yah!
00:30:56Life is a rodeo and Dan had to hold on tight
00:30:59as he swapped his skating boots for riding boots
00:31:02in a place that clung on to his spot at the top of the leaderboard
00:31:05for the fourth week in a row.
00:31:08There was no time for any horsing around
00:31:10before the hoedown slide step
00:31:13and they couldn't rein in their excitement
00:31:15during the double hitch kick.
00:31:18Finally it was time to buckle up
00:31:20for the throw double flip.
00:31:25Well, Dan and Vanessa aren't ready to ride off
00:31:27into the sunset
00:31:28so let's giddy up with those scores.
00:31:31Ashley
00:31:329.5
00:31:35Oti
00:31:369
00:31:39Jane
00:31:409.5
00:31:43And Chris
00:31:449.5
00:31:49Wow, first up
00:31:50are you alright?
00:31:51Because that was a fall.
00:31:52Oh yes, I'm used to it.
00:31:53Okay, you're good.
00:31:54You are really taking Dan out of his comfort zone, aren't you?
00:31:56And he's always, he always delivers.
00:31:58Yes, I'm working on it
00:31:59and so is he.
00:32:00I'm really proud of him.
00:32:01I'm gutted about that throw to the only spot.
00:32:03I bet you are.
00:32:04Yeah.
00:32:05And also, I just want to
00:32:06no letters please
00:32:07because he's wearing a wig.
00:32:08That's his real hair.
00:32:09It is.
00:32:10That is incredible.
00:32:11That's remarkable.
00:32:12We're just going to confirm
00:32:13your total is 37.5
00:32:15so well done.
00:32:16Right, let's come to the judges.
00:32:17Chris, so close to that 10.
00:32:19Yee-haw.
00:32:20It was very close
00:32:21and it wasn't because of the fall.
00:32:23It's more about the characterisation.
00:32:24The character was in the steps.
00:32:26Everything that he was doing
00:32:27he was doing the polka steps
00:32:28he was doing the slip steps
00:32:29and everything.
00:32:30It's just that sometimes
00:32:31your character, Dan
00:32:33he's smiling now
00:32:34which is great
00:32:35but it's just smiling.
00:32:37And when we want this larger than life
00:32:39like, yeah!
00:32:41That's me.
00:32:42Yeah, this larger than life
00:32:44facial expressions
00:32:45that you can bring to it
00:32:46to give it even more depth
00:32:47and character
00:32:48but all the elements.
00:32:49Your skating
00:32:50is some of the best skating
00:32:51we've ever had
00:32:52from a celebrity even.
00:32:58Aisling.
00:32:59Yeah, Dan
00:33:00I'm still surprised
00:33:01at how bowled over I am
00:33:03at your skating every week.
00:33:04Every week I think
00:33:05oh, I know how good he is.
00:33:06And then you come out
00:33:07and you skate
00:33:08and I'm like, wow.
00:33:09Like Chris said
00:33:10your skating is some of the best
00:33:11that we've seen
00:33:12but in a way
00:33:13this performance was almost
00:33:14a weird example
00:33:15of substance over style.
00:33:16You had so many elements.
00:33:17There were some beautiful
00:33:18technical and wow moments
00:33:19but I almost wanted
00:33:20more character
00:33:21and more style
00:33:22especially on musicals week
00:33:23but I don't want that
00:33:24to detract from how good
00:33:25your skating is.
00:33:27Jane.
00:33:29That was a great performance
00:33:31but as Chris mentioned
00:33:33there are moments
00:33:34where you do get
00:33:35sort of bogged down
00:33:36with the skating
00:33:37and it's great to see you
00:33:38doing technical stuff
00:33:39every week
00:33:40and pushing yourselves
00:33:41and it gets harder and harder
00:33:43but I think moving forward
00:33:45whatever character you are
00:33:47you've got to maintain that
00:33:48and you know that
00:33:49because we've said it
00:33:50lots of times
00:33:51but it's lovely
00:33:52that you're smiling.
00:33:55Very quickly, OG.
00:33:56I love that the whole thing
00:33:57felt very animated
00:33:58and for me it was the drop.
00:33:59I feel like how we take care
00:34:00of someone that we lift
00:34:01and we put down
00:34:02is very, very important
00:34:03so that's why I took
00:34:04a score down
00:34:05but I love how smooth it is.
00:34:06I love the posture
00:34:07and I love the frame
00:34:08and I love that you two
00:34:09keep coming back
00:34:10and just pushing that box.
00:34:11So keep pushing that.
00:34:12Thank you, judges.
00:34:14I tell you what,
00:34:15it's going to be a toughy tonight
00:34:16but now it's Dan and Vanessa.
00:34:17Well done, well done.
00:34:22Remember,
00:34:23the Boston team couples
00:34:24will face a skate-off
00:34:25at the end of the show
00:34:26so make sure you get
00:34:27behind your favourite
00:34:28when the vote opens later.
00:34:30Right, it's competition time now
00:34:31and here to tell us more
00:34:32we have a West End star
00:34:33who was a semi-finalist
00:34:34here last year.
00:34:35Yeah, she's got
00:34:36sass, style
00:34:37and all that jazz.
00:34:38Please welcome
00:34:39the fabulous
00:34:40Amber Davies!
00:35:01And all that jazz
00:35:02Start the car
00:35:03And a whoopee spot
00:35:04Where the journey is cold
00:35:05But the piano's hot
00:35:06It's just a noisy hall
00:35:07But it's a nightly brawl
00:35:08And all that jazz
00:35:09Oh, I'm no one's wife
00:35:10But I love you

00:37:30But coming up, Anton and Annette's tug on the heartstrings
00:37:33with Les Miserables.
00:37:34So grab a hanky and we'll be right back.
00:37:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:37:49Welcome back to Dancing On Ice, where our skating stars are all
00:37:52hoping to steal the spotlight on musicals night.
00:37:55But the stage is set for a dramatic finale.
00:37:57Two couples will face the skate-off at the end of the show.
00:38:00Right, our next couple are ready to go.
00:38:02Last Sunday, they had to battle for survival in the skate-off again.
00:38:05Two weeks on the trots.
00:38:06So this week, they're really hoping to have a much, much happier time.
00:38:09What are they skating to?
00:38:11Les Miserables.
00:38:12Ah! It's Anton and Annette.
00:38:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
00:38:19This show's a rollercoaster. I've got my highest scores.
00:38:22I found myself in the skate-off again.
00:38:24It might be that the public want to see something different from me.
00:38:28This week is definitely that.
00:38:30I'm skating to Bring Him Home from Les Mis.
00:38:33This song is a real tear-jerker.
00:38:35Trying to be serious here, she's giggling.
00:38:37He's not always the strong one, he's also emotional, which is nice.
00:38:41You're messing up my street cred.
00:38:44I love going to musicals.
00:38:46I'm not just from a family of footballers.
00:38:49I have sisters that are twins who are in the West End.
00:38:52They're also amazing choreographers.
00:38:55Watching your siblings do something that they love with such passion,
00:38:59it's emotional.
00:39:01We're just here to surprise him
00:39:03and just to give him some pointers on his routine.
00:39:06Surprise!
00:39:08CHEERING
00:39:12We didn't know what your reaction would be,
00:39:14but the waterwork started and we thought, yeah, that's about right.
00:39:17If you ever want to fall in love...
00:39:19CHEERING
00:39:21It was beautiful.
00:39:23The first arm line when you lift it out, follow it and breathe.
00:39:28The song kind of helps you to breathe as well
00:39:30because of how the phrases are.
00:39:32Yay!
00:39:34Their support means everything to me,
00:39:36especially as they are musical theatre performers.
00:39:39Whatever happens, we love you regardless.
00:39:42We are so proud.
00:39:45I look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
00:39:47Yay!
00:39:49CHEERING
00:39:59God on high
00:40:06Hear my prayer
00:40:13In my need
00:40:19You have always been there
00:40:26You can take
00:40:32You can leave
00:40:38Let him be
00:40:44Let him live
00:40:50And if I die
00:40:55Let me die
00:41:01Let him live
00:41:08Bring him
00:41:13Home
00:41:21CHEERING
00:41:27Well, he's brought a lot of fun to the competition so far,
00:41:30but that gave Anton a chance to show off a more serious side to his character
00:41:35as he took us all the way back to 19th century France.
00:41:40He wanted to start his own revolution with a counterbalance stag.
00:41:45There was nothing miserable about the side drape into cradle
00:41:50and he was hoping the fly-away will keep the flag flying into next week.
00:41:59After ending up in the skate-off for the past two shows,
00:42:02has Anton found his redemption?
00:42:05Ashley, ten.
00:42:07CHEERING
00:42:09Oti.
00:42:11Yes!
00:42:13Jane.
00:42:15CHEERING
00:42:17And Chris.
00:42:19CHEERING
00:42:22It's a full house and the highest score of the series, 40 out of 40.
00:42:30And the studio goes gold for you, Anton.
00:42:36Anton, listen to that applause.
00:42:39You know, it was such a magical moment.
00:42:42You couldn't hear a pin drop in here when you were skating.
00:42:45How do you feel? You've just got four marks.
00:42:48I'm absolutely honoured.
00:42:50And I just want to say a special thank you to Karen and Dan,
00:42:53who choreographed that and gave me the tools to be able to do that,
00:42:57so thank you very much, Karen and Dan. Thank you.
00:43:01Right, Oti, you're emotional.
00:43:04I'm crying. I said to Ashley, I don't want to cry, I don't want to cry.
00:43:07Anton, I am so unbelievably proud of you.
00:43:11You listened to us, you took the notes, you took the time,
00:43:14you had extensions, you were emotional, you stayed in character
00:43:18and you gave us your own complete finished piece.
00:43:21For you, I think you deserve another standing ovation.
00:43:24This is just beautiful.
00:43:27I still got goosebumps because it was such a complete performance.
00:43:32It had everything and I wasn't even worried about any of the skating
00:43:35because I was just taken away by the storytelling.
00:43:38It's beautiful.
00:43:39Chris? Yeah, I think we were all mesmerised at that point.
00:43:45Right from the beginning, just the way that you stood there
00:43:48and the way that you finished it, we all felt it.
00:43:51It was quite emotional. Look, we got tingly already.
00:43:54And I felt you had us all in the palm of your hand.
00:43:57Did it feel like that to you?
00:43:59Um...
00:44:01Yes, yes, it did.
00:44:03He's like, ooh! Wonderful, well done.
00:44:05Ashley's the comeback kid!
00:44:07Listen, that is how you do Musicals Week.
00:44:10And if I'm being honest, that's how you do it in general.
00:44:13You've been called rough around the edges,
00:44:15you've been told you need to work on the posture,
00:44:17you've been in the skate-off multiple times,
00:44:20and then you come out tonight and you do that
00:44:23and you present like that.
00:44:24And that, for me, is so inspiring.
00:44:26It was emotional, I had goosebumps multiple times.
00:44:28And, honestly, you don't deserve to be in the skate-off again.
00:44:31You should be proud of yourself. Well done.
00:44:33All should have been in the skate-off!
00:44:35Thank you, Douglas.
00:44:37But now it's Anton and Annette.
00:44:40Well done.
00:44:46I'll cover all three of your votes to keep them out of tonight's skate-off
00:44:50and you can get behind them very soon.
00:44:52So we've seen all of our couples perform.
00:44:54Let's take a look at the leaderboard, shall we?
00:44:56Big scores tonight.
00:44:585th place, Molly and Colin, with 35.5.

00:45:043rd place, Sam and Molly, on 37.
00:45:072nd place, Dan and Vanessa, they're on 37.5.
00:45:10And look at that.
00:45:11Top marks, 40.
00:45:13Anton and Annette in 1st position.
00:45:15We said earlier it's going to be a tough week.
00:45:17Such a tough night.
00:45:19So that's what the judges thought.
00:45:21But now it's over to you.
00:45:23It's time for you to have your say because the vote is officially...
00:45:26..open!
00:45:28Your votes will be combined with the judges' scores.
00:45:31The two couples with the lowest overall score will face the skate-off.
00:45:34One of them will be heading out of the competition tonight.
00:45:37I'm over the moon for Anton.

00:47:17MUSIC STOPS
00:47:21What a night. They all really... Well done.
00:47:23They all really want a place in the semifinals,
00:47:25which is next week, so close, in touching distance.
00:47:28How did you not get emotional out there?
00:47:30I did. You just... I struggled to keep it in.
00:47:33When I got out of the back, there was emotion, believe me.
00:47:35Did you? Well, next time, do it on the telly.
00:47:37It makes better television.
00:47:39OK? I will do that. Dan, you're really going for this.
00:47:42When you started, you didn't want any spray tan,
00:47:44you didn't want to touch your hair, and now, look...
00:47:46Spray tans, perms, a lot. You're in there straight off.
00:47:48I don't know what's happened, yeah. Big night tonight.
00:47:50It is. Very big. Who is going to be in this skate off?
00:47:52And again, Sam, brilliant night for you.
00:47:54Your highest score of the series so far.
00:47:56Yeah, yeah, buzzing with that. Thank you.
00:47:58And all your family here again? Yes, I know.
00:48:00Love them. So good.
00:48:01I don't know how your family watched you do that headbanger.
00:48:03Can you believe you've actually just done that?
00:48:05No, and I haven't watched it back yet,
00:48:07so I guess it doesn't feel real just yet,
00:48:09but, yeah, I just looked at Colin, he was smiling,
00:48:11and I was like, oh, my God! You are very brave.
00:48:13You're very brave.
00:48:14And, Michaela, if you manage to get through next week,
00:48:16it's a solo skate. How are you feeling about that?
00:48:18I think I'm more worried about if I get through, actually,
00:48:21because I am second to bottom on the leaderboard,
00:48:23so, obviously, you know, fingers crossed, fingers crossed.
00:48:26Never know. It is in the hands of the public.
00:48:28And remember, you've still got time to get behind your favourite,

00:50:01Along your humble flat
00:50:03Or help you feed your pussy cat
00:50:06Men grow cold as girls grow old
00:50:09And we all lose our charms in the end
00:50:14A square cut or a parachute

00:52:25CHEERING
00:52:30APPLAUSE

00:52:42Your votes are in and it won't be long
00:52:44until we know which two couples will face tonight's skate-off.
00:52:47Somebody will be leaving us at the end of the show.
00:52:50Right, let's hear from some of the people
00:52:52who are supporting our stars, friends and family.
00:52:54Of course, we've got Alan and Coles from Corrie.
00:52:57The boy's doing good.
00:52:58He's doing really well, he's very fast out there, actually.
00:53:00He is.
00:53:01But everybody is, everybody's a really good standard.
00:53:03The standard is high.
00:53:04How confident are you that Sam's not going to be in a skate-off?
00:53:07Confident, yeah.
00:53:08I mean, everyone is exceptional,
00:53:09but this is really good for Sam, isn't it?
00:53:11We're seeing our mate, like, excel
00:53:13and just be a better person every single time.
00:53:15He's doing really, really well.
00:53:16Obviously, we've got the semi-final next week.
00:53:18Amber, you've been in that situation.
00:53:20What advice would you give to him?
00:53:21I would say be present
00:53:23and try and not have expectations when you get out there
00:53:26and let greatness in.
00:53:27Oh, that's good.
00:53:28Let greatness in.
00:53:30Anya and Remy, how proud are you?
00:53:32Oh, my God.
00:53:33Too proud.
00:53:34So proud.
00:53:35Tens across the board.
00:53:36Yeah.
00:53:37Incredible.
00:53:38Your advice helped.
00:53:39It did.
00:53:40It did.
00:53:41It's perfection.
00:53:42And our joy is supporting Dan.
00:53:43How much would it mean to him to get through to that semi-final?
00:53:45It would mean everything to him.
00:53:46I think Dan's here to win it.
00:53:47I think he's going to go all the way.
00:53:49He wants it, doesn't he?
00:53:50He really does.
00:53:51George, is he just good at everything?
00:53:52He is good at everything and he does it so calmly.
00:53:54I know, I know.
00:53:55He's so calm.
00:53:56So annoying.
00:53:57So annoying.
00:53:58Right, our couples all want to make it to the semi-final
00:54:00and if they get there, they'll face their biggest night yet.
00:54:10Next week is the semi-final.
00:54:12There's five of us left, but only four will make it through.
00:54:17And I really hope I'm one of them.
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:21I want to go all the way.
00:54:23My competitive streak is coming up.
00:54:26If I get through to the semis, I will bring energy, good fun
00:54:30and hopefully some new tricks.
00:54:34I don't cut corners and anything that's thrown at me, I try to do it.
00:54:41You really hope that you're one of those four.
00:54:43But anything could happen at this stage.
00:54:44I think the competition is very, very tight.
00:54:49It's game on.
00:54:50THEY SING
00:54:55Oh, it's a big night.
00:54:56Right, it's time to find out which two couples
00:54:58will face tonight's skate-off.
00:55:00So please keep the applause going
00:55:02as we welcome back our skating star.
00:55:04CHEERING
00:55:19Who's safe and who will have to skate for survival?
00:55:22I'm about to be given the results.
00:55:27In no particular order, the first couple through to next week is...
00:55:35Anton and Annette!
00:55:41The next couple safely through is...
00:55:48Sam and Molly!
00:55:53Only one more couple is definitely through to next week, and it is...
00:56:01Michaela and Molly!
00:56:05Which means Molly and Colin, Dan and Vanessa,
00:56:09you are in tonight's skate-off.
00:56:11Please head up to Stephen and the judges.
00:56:14OK, so ready, Dan and Vanessa,
00:56:16take position up there near Ashley, please.
00:56:20Right, can you believe this?
00:56:22I am gutted for you.
00:56:24No-one could call tonight OT.
00:56:26Can we please have a bit of advice?
00:56:29All right, girl, this is your first time in a skate-off.
00:56:32Let the nerves go, do exactly what you did on the night,
00:56:36perform and leave your heart out there.
00:56:39That is all. And enjoy it. Really, really enjoy it.
00:56:41I will enjoy it.
00:56:43How are you actually feeling, being here?
00:56:45We get to do it again, so, yeah, we're going to go out with a bang if we do.
00:56:48Yeah, well, let's hope not, cos you've got a headbang out there.
00:56:51Let's go.
00:56:52Right, their future in the competition depends on this skate-off.
00:56:56First up, it is Molly and Colin.
00:57:03My first steps on the ice, I just thought,
00:57:06what have I got myself into?
00:57:08I've always struggled with my nerves.
00:57:10Just to get through that first performance was massive for me.
00:57:14The improvement that Molly has made throughout this series
00:57:17is absolutely unbelievable.
00:57:19Molly has inspired me, not only with her skating ability,
00:57:22but with everything that she's accomplished in her life.
00:57:24Colin has been an angel sent from above.
00:57:28He's been such a good friend, and I'm so, so grateful that I met him.
00:57:31She is now one of my closest friends,
00:57:34and, you know, I just couldn't be prouder of her.
00:57:36It's just been such a special time in my life.
00:57:39I just really, really would never want this experience to end.
00:57:49I was cheated by you, and I think you know when
00:57:56So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
00:58:02Look at me now, will I ever learn?
00:58:06I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
00:58:12There's a fire within my soul
00:58:16Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
00:58:19One more look and I forget everything
00:58:24Mamma mia, here I go again
00:58:28My, my, how can I resist you?
00:58:31Mamma mia, does it show again?
00:58:35My, my, just how much I miss you
00:58:38Yes, I've been brokenhearted
00:58:42Blue since the day we parted
00:58:45Why, why did I ever let you go?
00:58:49Mamma mia, now I really know
00:58:52My, my, I should not have let you go
00:58:56Yes, I've been brokenhearted
00:58:59Blue since the day we parted
00:59:03Why, why did I ever let you go?
00:59:07Mamma mia, now I really know
00:59:10My, my, I should not have let you go
00:59:20The competition is tough tonight!
00:59:22Well done!
00:59:25Wally and Colin have done all they can
00:59:28Right, right, Dan and Vanessa
00:59:30Yes
00:59:31Chris, what do you need to tell them?
00:59:34We're getting second chance at that throw, don't you?
00:59:37We do
00:59:38And for Vanessa to land it
00:59:39But go out there and do it like you know you can do it
00:59:42Like it's in practice
00:59:43Like you've done it many, many times
00:59:45Don't let the nerves get to you
00:59:47And enjoy this performance, yeah?
00:59:49Live it
00:59:50How worried are you about the throw?
00:59:52It's not ideal, it didn't go well the first time
00:59:54But listen, we're going to try again
00:59:55And yeah, hopefully it pays off
00:59:57Fingers crossed
00:59:58OK
00:59:59Right, next to stay for Survivor
01:00:01It's Dan and Vanessa
01:00:08When I first started this experience
01:00:10I never expected to enjoy it as much as I have
01:00:13To dance on ice is a skill that I didn't really think I'd ever learn
01:00:17And Vanessa's a massive part of that
01:00:20She's amazing, I couldn't speak highly enough of her
01:00:23Dan has improved tremendously
01:00:25His skating skills, his confidence
01:00:27And performance-wise, he's exceptional
01:00:31If our partnership was to end today
01:00:33I would be very upset
01:00:35Just because I know he has a lot more to give
01:00:38It's been a rollercoaster of emotions
01:00:40Every week is a new challenge
01:00:42And it's going by so quickly
01:00:44I don't want this experience to end
01:00:51Oh, La Homer
01:00:55Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain
01:00:58And the waving wheat can sure smell sweet
01:01:02When the wind comes right behind the rain
01:01:06Oh, La Homer
01:01:09Every night my honey lamb and I
01:01:12Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk
01:01:16Making lazy circles in the sky
01:01:19We know we belong to the land
01:01:22And the land we belong to is grand
01:01:26And when we say
01:01:28Ya!
01:01:29Bayou, bayou, yeah
01:01:32We're only saying you're doing fine
01:01:35Oh, La Homer
01:01:37Oh, La Homer
01:01:38Okay
01:01:40Oh, La Homer
01:01:41Oh, La Homer
01:01:42Okay
01:01:43Oh, La Homer
01:01:44Oh, La Homer
01:01:45Oh, La Homer
01:01:46Oh, La Homer
01:01:47Oh, La Homer
01:01:48Oh, La Homer
01:01:49Oh, La Homer
01:01:50Oh, La Homer
01:01:51Oh, La Homer
01:01:52Oh, La Homer
01:01:53We know we belong to the land
01:01:56And the land we belong to is grand
01:01:59And when we say
01:02:02Ya!
01:02:03Bayou, bayou, yeah
01:02:06We're only saying you're doing fine
01:02:08Oh, La Homer
01:02:10Oh, La Homer
01:02:12Oh, La Homer
01:02:13Oh, La Homer
01:02:14Oh, La Homer
01:02:15Oh, La Homer
01:02:21Ya!
01:02:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
01:02:27Oh, well done.
01:02:28I tell you what, I was worried you weren't here.
01:02:30I know.
01:02:32What a professional Vanessa is.
01:02:34Come and join us over here.
01:02:36Dan and Vanessa, come and join us over here.
01:02:38You guys, come and make your way back onto the ice.
01:02:41This was, this is tough.
01:02:43Right, Molly and Colin and Dan and Vanessa have done all they can.
01:02:47One couple will stay and the other will leave the competition now.
01:02:51It's decision time.
01:02:52Our judges will each give us the name of the couple they want to save
01:02:55in the event of a tie.
01:02:57This week's head judge, Jane, will have the casting vote.
01:03:00Ashley, I'm coming to you first of all.
01:03:03Who do you want to save and why?
01:03:05Um, yeah, this stage in the competition,
01:03:08the skate-off is never going to be easy.
01:03:10You were both incredible earlier.
01:03:12You were probably both even better in the skate-off.
01:03:15Um, and my decision was based off of technical ability,
01:03:20and so I'm going to save Dan and Vanessa.
01:03:23One vote for Dan and Vanessa.
01:03:25O-Team, I mean, I thought you both did well
01:03:27and you really pushed yourself,
01:03:29but my vote is based on performance
01:03:31and it being musical weeks and giving an out-of-body experience,
01:03:34and my vote is for Molly and Colin.
01:03:36Well, one vote for Molly and Colin,
01:03:38one vote for Dan and Vanessa.
01:03:40Chris, I'm coming to you.
01:03:41Yeah, based on the performances,
01:03:43and both performances stepped up on the skate-off.
01:03:46But tonight, I'm looking at the skating as well as the character,
01:03:49and for me, that was Dan and Vanessa.
01:03:52O-Team, two votes for one.
01:03:54Jane, as head judge, you have the casting vote.
01:03:57The couple you choose will stay in the competition.
01:04:01Jane, who are we going to save and why?
01:04:05CHEERING
01:04:07As Ashley said, at this stage of the competition,
01:04:11it's very difficult because the standard is so high,
01:04:14and as we've all said, both couples skated even better in the skate-off.
01:04:18But going on the content and the technical ability
01:04:21and the skill required, I'm going to save Dan and Vanessa.
01:04:24Congratulations, Dan and Vanessa, skate through to the semi-final.
01:04:29Dan, go and join your fellow celebrities backstage.
01:04:32Molly and Colin, come over here, you two.
01:04:35Oh, my goodness.
01:04:37Molly, we're going to miss you so much.
01:04:39You have been pure joy, and I feel like you have loved this experience,
01:04:43especially with Colin.
01:04:44I've had the best time, and these are happy tears
01:04:46because, honestly, I met a friend for life,
01:04:49and this has been an experience of a lifetime, so I've loved it.
01:04:52Oh, my God, I love watching you. Don't be sad.
01:04:55I'm happy to have made it this far.
01:04:57They're happy tears. They are happy tears.
01:04:59Listen, go and give yourselves a lap of honour
01:05:02and a huge round of applause one final time for Molly and Colin.
01:05:05Well done.
01:05:10Wow.
01:05:11That is it for this week.
01:05:13Thank you to our skating stars, our commentator, Alex Crook,
01:05:16our coach, Karen Barber, creative director, Dan Whiston,
