Strictly Come Dancing fans are convinced that Helen Skelton sent a message to her ex Richie Myler as she lit up the ballroom with a defiant performance in Friday night's quarter final.
Helen and rugby player ex husband Richie hit headlines when their marriage broke down earlier this year, months after the birth of the youngest of their three children. While Helen has never spoken about her relationship on Strictly, she has openly admitted to massively struggling with her confidence in the early days of her time on the BBC show, with things getting to her so much that she fled rehearsals through a fire exit in the run up to the first live show.
A few weeks into her Strictly journey, Helen really seemed to turn a corner, after pro partner Gorka Marquez gave a very public display of support for her and the tough time she's had, urging her to believe in herself more and calling an "amazing mum, an amazing woman and an amazing dancer." Since then she has been a constant near the top of the leaderboard, and on Friday night, equalled their personal best score of 39 out of 40 with their Couple's Choice routine.
