Helen Skelton not 'letting it go' as she pays last tribute to Strictly 'wingman' Gorka Marquez before ditching him for new partner

Helen Skelton has refused any calls for her to 'let it go' as she took another look back at her time on Strictly Come Dancing. It is almost a month since the Countryfile host made it to the final of the 2022 run of the BBC One dance contest.

After weeks of performing in the ballroom under the critical eyes of the judges and the millions watching at home, Helen and her dance partner Gorka Marquez faced Fleur East and Vito Coppola, Hamza Yassin and Jowita Prytzal, and Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu in a fight for the Glitterball trophy.

But after performing three routines in the final, it wasn't to be and the public chose Hamza and Jowita as their Strictly 2022 winners. Despite not walking away with the coveted trophy, Helen has shared nothing but positive messages about her time on the hit show and has again taken to social media with a fresh post.
