Helen Skelton has been showed support from her celebrity pals and fans after sharing some behind-the-scenes Strictly Come Dancing snaps. The Countryfile host is currently preparing for week five in the BBC One dance contest on Saturday night alongside her professional partner Gorka Marquez.
But in a break from training, Helen looked back on last weekend's show which saw the dancing couple hit the headlines after Gorka halted the show to give his celebrity partner a stern pep talk. Following their traditional paso doble, the judges told Helen she appeared 'too polite' with her moves.
When they went upstairs to chat with co-host Claudia Winkleman and wait for their scores, Spanish dancer Gorka stepped in and asked: "Can I just say something?" I know you've been having a difficult time and I know you've been... you may feel like you're not beautiful or good enough or anything, but if you don't believe in yourself, I believe in you. Everybody here believes in you."
