Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton was overcome with emotion on Saturday night's show on BBC One as she shared with her dance parker Gorka Marquez how she feels she's become "a different person" since starting the show. Recalling her "best performance yet" in Blackpool last weekend, which saw her and Gorka received a nine and three tens, she said: "The reaction was one of those moments I will never forget, but the best reaction was from my dad. He was so happy and so proud and he just looked at me and was like 'Oh, you seem like you again!'"
Cutting to the dance rehearsals this week, in which she and Gorka were preparing for the samba, Helen was seen telling the Spanish professional dancer in a VT: "I definitely am a different person from when we started. And I think for me, what has been... sorry, I'm really sorry." After become tearful and struggling to continue her sentence, Gorka pulls her in for a hug.
