Strictly Come Dancing fans are urging Helen Skelton to "get even" with her ex husband, Richie Myler, by winning the show. On Saturday, Helen treated viewers to a sizzling dance routine with her pro-partner, Gorka Marquez.
The dancing duo took to the stage on the weekend for their rendition of a Cha Cha, to the tune of Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's 'Rain on Me'. Though their dance did not put them at the top of the leaderboard that evening - scoring 27 out of 40 - it was enough to get fans talking.
And many viewers have said that they are rooting for Helen to go all the way, in a "middle finger" to her ex, Richie Myler. The Leeds Rhinos star has been very public about his new relationship with Stephanie Thirkhill, while Helen throws herself into her Strictly debut.

Helen and Richie, who have three children together, announced their split in April this year after eight years of marriage. The split came just four months after the birth of their daughter, Elsie.
And fans have thrown all their support behind Helen in the wake of the split, urging her to "get even" with Richie. Comments about Helen and her ex have been posted on Twitter ever since her first dance last month.
