Helen Skelton breaks silence on Gorka's Strictly speech and her drastic weight loss

Strictly star, Helen Skelton, was left red-faced when her pro dancing partner Gorka Marquez, spoke publicly about her "difficult time". His comments come a few months after Helen experienced a "shock" split from her husband of eight years, Richie Myler.

Speaking to the Strictly Come Dancing judges, Gorka opened up about how Helen had been "made to feel like [she's] not beautiful." Looking rather shellshocked, Helen said that she will need to speak to Gorka about "what he's allowed to say publicly."

The Countryfile presenter, 39, was said to have been "devastated" by the break-up of her eight year marriage to Leeds Rhinos star, Richie Myler. The Rugby player walked out of the family home, just four months after the birth of their daughter.
