Craig Revel-Horwood issues Strictly 'demands' to Helen Skelton in defiant stance to score boos

In a defiant stance against his critics for not awarding her a 10 on Friday night, Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel-Horwood has issued a series of 'demands' to Helen Skelton for her to get a perfect score from him.

While Fleur East remains the only celeb so far this series to get 40 out of 40 for a dance, having got a full house of 10s for her Couple's Choice in Blackpool, many Strictly fans and pro dancers, including Kai Widdrington and Nikita Kuzmin, declared Helen and Gorka' s Musicals Week performance the 'dance of the series'.

The former Blue Peter star and her pro partner performed their Couples' Choice to Mein Her from Cabaret, with many Strictly viewers claiming Helen sent a message to her ex Richie Myler with her powerful and commanding performance. The routine has the Strictly ballroom in raptures but still failed to get a 10 from Craig, as the notoriously hard to please judge giving a nine, ruining Helen and Gorka's chances of a perfect score.
