Helen Skelton broke down in tears in a heartbreaking scenes on Saturday night's Strictly Come Dancing as she reflected on her dance journey. In a VT clip aired before their performance, the former Blue Peter presenter cried as she told pro dancer Gorka Marquez: "I definitely am a different person from when we started."
The mum-of-three was emotional as she told how her dad told her "you seemed like you again" after the previous weekend's energetic quickstep to the Amy Winehouse classic Valerie. "I thought it was just dancing it's so much more than that," Helen beamed about her confidence-building time on the BBC One dance show following her split from husband Richie Myler in April.
Helen, who on Saturday danced the samba with Gorka, opened up further on Wednesday evening as she was joined on the couch by Gorka for a chat on the spin-off show It Takes Two on BBC Two. Host Janette Manrara asked her: "We saw you had an emotional few months in your life. What has Strictly really meant to you?"
