Helen Skelton has shared the sweet daily gesture from her dance partner Gorka Marquez that keeps her motivated during Strictly Come Dancing each week. The Countryfile host and Spanish dancer are currently impressing the judges and viewers with their moves in the BBC One dance contest.
Last Saturday night, the pair were suited and booted as they performed a jive in the ballroom. Dressed in complementary black and white suits, with added Strictly sparkle, Helen and Groka 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 it was Gorka, 34, who had viewers laughing and gaping in amazement at their TV screens as he pulled a cheeky move After their rip-roaring dance ended, the pair took their places with host Tess Daly and faced the judges. As they waited for Craig Revel-Horwood's critique Gorka swiveled around and struck a pose by jutting out his derriere.
