BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Gorka Marquez sends three-word message to Helen Skelton as she's backed as winner

Gorka Marquez had three simple words for Helen Skelton as they give their all in the hope of making it to the Strictly Come Dancing final. The Spanish dancer and Countryfile host will perform not one but two routines during their appearance in the BBC One show's semi-final on Sunday night (December 11).

In another confusing move this series, the hit dance contest has been moved from its usual prime-time Saturday night slot due to coverage of the World Cup. If the show had gone ahead on Saturday night it would have clashed with England's quarter-final clash with France which saw the Three Lions crash out of the tournament.

But the change to the schedule, which was announced by co-hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman last Saturday night when the show was moved, again for the football, also means that the results show will now take place 24 hours later than usual on Monday night (December 12).
