Helen Skelton broke down in tears in a heartbreaking video clip from rehearsals as she reflected on her Strictly Come Dancing journey with dance partner Gorka Marquez. The former Blue Peter presenter cried as she told pro dancer Gorka: "I definitely am a different person from when we started."
The mum-of-three was emotional as she told how her dad told her "you seemed like you again" after last weekend's energetic quickstep to the Amy Winehouse classic Valerie. "I think even you would say I'm a different person from day one right?" she asked Gorka, who agreed with her.
"I thought it was just dancing it's so much more than that," Helen beamed about her confidence-building time on the BBC dance show following her split from husband Richie Myler.
