Gorka Marquez wasn't just relieved that he and Helen Skelton had made it through to another week on Strictly Come Dancing. The Spanish dancer and the Countryfile host were suited and booted on Saturday night as they performed a jive in the ballroom.
Dressed in complementary black and white suits, with added Strictly sparkle, the pair received a score of 37 for their routine to Janelle Monae’s Tightrope. It left them joint-second in the leaderboard, just one point behind Hamza Yassin who topped the scoreboard in sparkling fashion with three perfect 10s across the board.
But Motsi Mabuse again singled Helen out for the final, which is still a few weeks away, and head judge Shirley Ballas told the other competitors that if they're doing a jive, it should be like Helen and Gorka's. And after their high scores and high praise, the dancing couple made it through to week eight in the BBC One dance contest on Sunday night.
