00:00 It's been a hell of a ride.
00:02 The fact that I'm actually sat here now in the final,
00:06 it's something to be super proud of.
00:08 Oh!
00:10 APPLAUSE
00:11 Oh, yeah!
00:12 Your final finalists, Slayton and Nikita!
00:15 I'm sorry, but...
00:17 I mean, you're dressed like finalists tonight, I have to say.
00:20 They haven't even started to wear their ice already.
00:22 Slayton, talk to me.
00:23 OK, you're a performer, you're used to pre-show nerves,
00:26 but what are your nerves like heading into the final?
00:29 Do you know what? I feel...
00:32 Just looking back at all of that,
00:33 it just, like, totally puts it into perspective.
00:35 I feel, like, so much at peace with just how everything has gone.
00:41 I kind of hoped to obviously be in the final,
00:43 like, that was my hope, but, like, it just...
00:46 I never thought it would be a reality,
00:48 though, as the week's gone by, I thought,
00:49 "Oh, maybe this is not going to give what I thought it was going to give."
00:52 But, honestly, the fact that we've managed to, like, complete it,
00:56 like, we've got here, it just is amazing.
00:58 So I'm genuinely just so...
01:01 Obviously, I'm nervous, I'm always nervous,
01:02 but I just want to go out there and just enjoy every second of it,
01:05 because this is it, you know?
01:07 You've got many reasons to enjoy it.
01:08 I mean, Lakita, it's your first ever final on Strictly.
01:11 Woo-woo!
