Helen Skelton has revealed that her feet have been left 'bloodied and bruised' in Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals as she prepares for this weekend's second live show. But she's determined to soldier on as she told fans 'no pain, no gain.'
One of the most talked about stars on this year's Strictly line-up, Helen edged out rival Fleur East to be bookies' favourite to win ahead of her live show debut last weekend, having previously been the focus of 'fix' claims from critics, over her tap dancing experience as a child. Helen is paired up with Gorka Marquez, who reached the final of Strictly in 2020 alongside Maisie Smith and the couple opened their account with an America Smooth on Saturday night, earning them a score which put them in the middle of the leaderboard.
AS Helen and Gorka spoke to Claudia Winkleman, Gorka hinted that she'd been struggling with her confidence, with it then being reported that Helen fled rehearsals through a fire exit, before he talked her into returning. This weekend, Helen and Gorka will dance a cha cha cha to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande number one hit Rain on Me and Helen has clearly been ge5tting stuck into training as she took to Instagram to reveal her feet were 'in bits.'
