Gorka Marquez has given a very public seal of approval to Kai Widdrington replacing him on the Strictly Come Dancing live tour, after it was confirmed that he won't be dancing with Helen Skelton.
Days after she and Gorka lost out to Hamza and Jowita in this year's Strictly final, former Blue Peter presenter Helen was announced to joining the line-up for the tour, with fellow finalist Fleur East also joining the bill, after Will Mellor, Molly Rainford, Ellie Simmonds, Fleur East and Hamza had already been confirmed.
The big surprise was that while Helen was on the line-up, Gorka was nowhere to be seen, with her instead being partnered by Kai Widdrington, who took part in the new series, but was voted out first.
