Helen Skelton sends sweet message to Gorka Marquez as he's supported over move away from Strictly

Helen Skelton has shown that she and Gorka Marquez are still firm friends despite missing out on the Strictly Come Dancing trophy. The Countryfile host and Spanish dancer made it all the way to the final of the BBC One dance contest back in December after viewers took Helen to their hearts and saw the TV star blossom with a series of excellent routines.

However, despite their best efforts, the pair emerged without the Strictly 2022 champions title and the coveted sparkling Glitterball trophy to eventual winners Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal which caused an outcry of 'robbed' among fans.

Helen, 39, has since gone on to star in the Strictly Live 2023 tour. She spent the start of the year travelling the country to perform to thousands of fans of the hit show alongside many of her 2022 co-stars. But Gorka didn't make an appearance as Helen performed the 30-plus shows with Kai Widdrington.
