Fans and judges of Strictly Come Dancing have praised Helen Skelton's latest dance, predicting the presenter will be headed into the final - despite her feeling 'underwhelmed'.
Helen and her partner Gorka danced a foxtrot on this week's Halloween special of the dancing competition. Viewers and the judges were delighted at Helen's performance, saying every week she just keeps getting better and better.
Oti Mabuse even went so far as to say she is giving 'final vibes' leaving her and Gorka absolutely beaming. Craig naturally held back heaps of praise but even the 'mean' judge said that Helen's dance was impressive.

He said: "I could see the mechanics of it, and you really don't want to see the mechanics of it but it did have a lovely flow."
Speaking to presenter Claudia Winkleman after her performance, Helen said: "If this isn't what you normally do, you think you are giving a big lift, and then you watch it back and you are like 'oh, that is underwhelming' .
"In my head I am right over there, but then when I watch it, I am like 'oh, I get it". Gorka added that his partner wants to do difficult steps and wants to be challenged.
He said: "She's a very good student. She listens and she works very hard."
Fans on social media were impressed with Helen and agreed with Oti that she is expected to have a place in the final. @Dave said: "Well done Helen consistently very good".
@Katie said: "Helen's face card never declines" @John said: "A wonderful Foxtrot from Hellen I loved it. You do look good Helle" @Amber said: "I absolutely loved that dance from #Helen and #Gorka - I loved how it had characterisation but it also had the dancing content... great!"
@Gary said: "Foxtrot done to near perfection, lovely flowing movements from Helen & Gorka, this was effortlessly smooth across the dance floor, nice subtle rise and fall through out the dance with an elegance that showed how classy they are"
Helen and Gorka scored an impressive 32 points, getting close to a 10 from Anton Du Beke. He and Shirley Ballas said Helen's heel turn was one of the best they have seen, even getting them up and out of their seats during the performance.
On Twitter, user @Glavlar said: "Helen is so brilliant. Must be going through hell in her personal life and every week she come out and smashes it. Everyone should vote for her."
@Court said: "Helen is improving week on week and everyone is slowly falling in love with her, what an amazing dance. Helen Skelton I am in love with you"
Helen and Gorka wowed the audience and judges last week with a Charleston to Blue Peter , which celebrated 100 years of the BBC. The pair were top of the leaderboard, tied with Hamza Yassin and pro dancer Jowita Przystal.
