Gorka detail distracts BBC Strictly fans as Helen Skelton reveals hilarious 'lie' from her son

Helen Skelton dazzled in the spotlight on Friday night's live Strictly as she performed a red hot routine to Mein Herr from the musical Cabaret for the quarter-final. The Countryfile and former Blue Peter presenter oozed confidence in a black corseted outfit with smokey eye makeup, dark lipstick and with her blonde hair worn slicked back.

"Am I looking at a young lady who has grown from a timid, shy girl in week one to this sensual performance? I've got goosebumps," said head judge Shirley. Fans have seen mum-of-three Helen, 39, go through a transition during her time on the BBC One dance show following her split from husband Richie Myler in April.

Her celeb dance partner Gorka Marquez also donned a black corset and eyeliner for their spectacular dance. "Showed Gorka for what a good partner he is too, he never lets himself take any attention off her, it was all about Helen," commented one fan Ruth Drummond on Twitter.
