BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Helen Skelton dubbed a 'gem' as she shares defiant message about 'good people'

Helen Skelton has continued to be flooded with praise and support from fans following the end of Strictly Come Dancing. The Countryfile presenter made it all the way to the final of the BBC One dance contest alongside professional dancer Gorka Marquez.

Helen and Gorka faced Fleur East and Vito Coppola, Hamza Yassin and Jowita Prytzal, and Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu in a fight for the Glitterball trophy last Saturday night (December 17).
