Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton has been called an "inspiration" after her 'no rules' couple's choice Cabaret-style dance routine for musicals week and the quarter final saw her receiving a standing ovation in the studio as well as applause from viewers who said she smashed it "out of the park".
The dance, which was performed to Mein Herr from the musical Cabaret, saw Helen, 39, take on a brand new persona, oozing sass and flare as she confidently stepped, kicked and jumped impressively around the studio with grace, led by her Spanish professional dance partner, Gorka Marquez. After finishing the dance, Gorka can be heard screaming "Yes!" as her fellow class of '22 stood on tables and whooped.
And it wasn't just her friends who were impressed. Head judge Shirley Ballas was the first to comment, saying: "I mean, am I looking at a mum of three? Am I looking at a young lady that has grown from a timid, shy girl, from week one to this sensual performance, I've got goosebumps all over me!"
