BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans complain over Tess Daly's comment to Helen Skelton as Gorka Marquez gives two-word reaction

Some Strictly Come Dancing fans were a little irked when Tess Daly pointed out Helen Skelton's unfortunate wardrobe blunder during the semi-final. The Countryfile host and her professional dance partner Gorka Marquez performed twice as the BBC One show returned to screens on Sunday night (December 11).

All five remaining couples - including Helen, Molly Rainford, Hamza Yassin, Fleur East and Will Mellor - had to do double the work this week as they fought for their place in next weekend's grand final of the dance competition.

Helen, 39, kicked off her semi-final with much praise for her “dreamy” waltz to Only One Road by Celine Dion. Motsi Mabuse said she thought the dance was "magic" while Anton Du Beke said it was "beautiful, soft and romantic" There was, however, some criticism and the pair finished with a lower score than they have been used to of 35.
