BBC Strictly Come Dancing viewers spot 'cheat' move as Helen Skelton dazzles in 'gorgeous' dress

Strictly Come Dancing viewers believe they have spotted what they think is a 'cheat' move as Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez took to the floor for their first performance of the evening. And while the complaint wasn't specifically about them, the issue was spotted during their routine.

The Countryfile host and the Spanish dancer kicked off their semi-final of the BBC One dance contest with a waltz to Only One Road by Celine Dion. Helen, 39, wowed fans in an elegant white and gold number as she glided around the ballroom floor with her partner.

The pair scored 35 out of a possible 40 for the routine, with former Blue Peter star Helen being told she did "extremely well" by head judge Shirley Ballas. She added: "It was a dreamy performance, I think the friendship and bond you two have formed showed in this waltz."
