It takes two final show Fleur on Layton's journey with Nikita

it's time to welcome our last finalist of the evening and what a series it's been for Leon and Nikita who've given us so many memorable moments yeah I mean you're telling me the highest overall scorers they have the most tens and they've topped the leaderboard an incredible seven times strictly has been anything but a bad education for Leighton hey I hope my strictly experience will bring all the joy all the Fab moments and a journey that I'll never forget don't rush it don't rush it it feels really unnatural I do think I have to unlearn a little bit of what I already know I look a bit stiff [Music] yes to get in that music and that bounce action and to be able to control it that takes Talent from scratch I thought you came out with way too much attack too much energy in the wrong places Leon has lot of sass but we still need to work on his control of the movement partnership is perfect honestly so proud we're a team now period Tango I don't think me and aita have done something so serious yet I think it's going to show people that I am not always your footwork your placement your balance I'm lost in the lat magic is the most magical feeling I'm just so so proud of him I can't say anymore he's just doing amazing every time I step out there I'm doing it for my M it's not your best but once the red light here now it's time to show everybody that we came here to slay [Music] shny you look and it's just us two had all of this time to spend with slat and he's just the best a friend for life in the final it's something to be super proud of I'm sorry I mean you're dressed like finalist tonight I have to say wow oh my God L talk to me okay you're a performer you're used to pre-show nerves but what are nerves like heading into the final do you know what I feel just looking back at all of that it's just like totally puts it into perspective just I feel like so much at peace with just how everything has gone I kind of hoped to obviously be in the final like that was my hope but like it just I never thought it would be a reality though as the weeks gone by I thought oh maybe this is not going to give what is what I thought he was going to give but honestly the fact that we've managed to like complete it like we've got here it just is amazing so I'm genuinely just so obviously I'm nervous I'm always nervous but I just want to go out there and just enjoy every second a bit because this is it you know you've got many reasons to enjoy it I mean Nikita it's your first ever final and strictly are you excited for tomorrow night I'm really excited and I'm really nervous at the same time I have to admit um it's a weird feeling and even today when we were rehearsing all the dances it's kind of really a weird place to be because you just come there every Friday every Saturday we rehearse we perform the show and it's just at a certain point it felt just like a normal week and then you just realize oh no this is this is it this what we've been fighting for every single week and to be there it's honestly you just as like Leon said we feel in at peace we feel at peace we feel proud we feel grateful to be there we feel happy we feel happy happy you know what let's talk about your Argentine Tango cuz you're doing it again the pros called for it to be a perfect faulty first time around how are you perfecting it for the final I think it's just cleaning a lot of technical stuff but at the same time I think trying to find a new feeling a new emotion what does it mean to you now which what does the hand gesture means to you what is the eye contact what is our story now because obviously I was week eight now we're week 13 and it's the final week and we know each other better we know the deeper emotion better so it's also approaching it in a different way this is it the deeper emotion your friendship and a we spoke about your show dance earlier this week you told Janette this is a symbol of your friendship how are you going to show that off in the final to fair just just trying it's it's really hard to be be present in the moment especially with such a hard showd Dan where we're just like running from place to place but um I think it's literally just looking at each other and it's a bit like looking at this throwback and just really appreciating everything that has happened well speaking of throwback lat and it's been quite the experience for you and some people want to tell you how proud they are of you oh lens a whirlwind always has been from being little he was just full of beans always dancing always singing always performing when I see Leighton come out there my heart he fills me with so much pride it's un true every week I'm watching in my stet and I just can't believe that it's actually my brother when I watch Uncle Lon the dances and the schoes make me very proud the Argentine Tango was amazing you just saw a different side to him that I've never seen before when I watched his face that was my little brother about to cry and I started crying he bring something out on that dance floor that makes you smile makes you happy it's been amazing to see just him shine just be himself it's so inspirational it makes me quite emotional and happy Lear being on Strictly will encourage a lot of other people to to be the self and if you can do that he's already achieved and and won in our eyes good luck on Saturday lightting in Nikita we're all so proud of you we love you bring this GL B home that's it we so proud of you and we love you good luck lates good luck Nikita so so proud of you just go out there and have the best time and smash [Music] it so beautiful Lon we've already asked our other two finalists but what would it mean to you to get your hands on that glitter ball trophy um I think my is in lift the trophy but it's honestly not like what I came into this competition to do like I did just come here to just just enjoy and dance and have fun and the fact that it has managed to kind of like touch people's hearts and let them feel like they can be themselves and see themselves represented like it's it's kind of just it would be a massive celebration of the people that dare to be different and the people that you know we don't choose the way that we're born and I think having a family that supports you and celebrates you and we get to celebrate each other every Saturday and the fact that we're not going to be able to do that now is super sad so that would just be the ultimate kind of like icing on the cake but I honestly just feel so complete like I'm just absolutely buzzing I'll look back in these memories and really like I'll smile I I won't I won't have one little frown like I'm proper I'm really grateful so I love you look at you guys how many times do I need to cry during this week I know I'm tired of cry honestly it has been such a joy to watch you both and you've done so much for your family look how proud they are of you thank you so much good luck for tomorrow night thank you Lita I can't take any more of these emotions I can't
