Helen Skelton 'within touching distance' of winning Strictly Come Dancing this year

Bookies have said that Helen Skelton is now in "touching distance" to win this year's Strictly Come Dancing, after she and Gorka wowed viewers and judges with their Cabaret performance last week. This weekend, the duo will take on the semi-final, with an Argentine Tango and a Waltz prepped.

The dancing pair are currently the bookies' second-favourite to win the show, narrowly behind Hamza and Jowita, who have odds of 8/13 to win. But, according to BetVictor, it is all to play for - as Helen and Gorka could top the charts if they wow with their semi-final performance this weekend.

The pair will be Argentine Tango-ing to to Here Comes The Rain Again by Eurythmics, and Waltzing their way around the dancefloor to Only One Road by Céline Dion. After last week's incredible performance, inspired by Cabaret, they will have to really wow the judges - who gave them an impressive 39 points last week.
