Strictly Come Dancing Helen Skelton's sweet gesture for partner Gorka Marquez's daughter Mia

Helen Skelton saved the flowers from her paso performance hairstyle for Gorka Marquez and Gemma Atkinson's three-year-old daughter Mia in a sweet gesture.

Week four of the BBC dance competition saw Countryfile presenter, Helen, and dance professional Gorka, perform the paso. The pasodoble is a fast-paced Spanish military march used by infantry troops so of course the two were dressed to suit.

Helen wore a cream and off the shoulder red dress with a black waist belt and hoop earrings but the real talking point was her incredible hairstyle that was tied back in a long fishtail plait and finished with dozens of red and pink roses as well as pearls.

The mother-of-three shared several snaps of her look following the performance declaring it was her favourite week yet and the fans were quick to comment on how much they loved her look. One social media user said: "Love this look on you".

A second penned: "Just wanted to say…your hair looked so beautiful helen…!!!…so lovely…!!!..you looked perfect..!!!" and a third added: "Fav hair and look so far", "Looking gorgeous Helen" agreed another.

But there was one little fan watching at home who loved Helen's hairstyle more than anyone. Gorka's daughter, with whom he shares with fiancé Gemma Atkinson, has been watching each week at home with her mum and was obsessed with Helen's paso hairstyle.

So much so that Helen saved some of the flowers for her and sent them home with Gorka so that Mia could recreate the hairstyle herself.

Gemma Atkinson took to Instagram last night on Monday, October, 31 to share an adorable snap of Mia with her hair in a plait with the roses attached just like Helen's.

She penned: "Mia was obsessed with @helenskelton paso hair! She liked the flowers so Helen kept some for her. Gorks brought them home yesterday", Helen later re-shared the story.
