Former Emmerdale actress has praised her fiancé Gorka Marquez for 'saying what everyone's thinking' after the professional dancer halted Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing to address the 'difficult time' his partner Helen Skelton has been having.
After they had performed their paso doble on week four of the Saturday night show and receiving their comments from the judges, Helen and Gorka joined host Claudia Winkleman. It was then that Gorka took the opportunity to address the confidence issues Helen has been having.
Just as Helen was paying tribute to her mum and dad, Gorka stepped in and, with his arm around her, the former finalist said: "Can I just say something? I know you've been having a difficult time and 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."
