Comedian Jayde Adams has defended Helen Skelton against claims that she only found confidence through participating in Strictly Come Dancing. Helen, 39, has danced her way into the show's grand final on BBC One on Saturday, December 17.
After weeks of battling it out, the contestants have been whittled down to just four pairs - Helen and Gorka Márquez, Fleur East and Vito Coppola, Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystał, and Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu. The four couples will compete one last time for a chance to win the coveted Glitterball trophy.
Writing in the Daily Express, ex-Strictly Professional dancer Joanne Clifton said Helen had been on a "journey like no other", praising her confidence which Joanna claims she picked up during Musicals week. She wrote: "I hate to use the “j” word but wow, this woman has been on a journey like no other. The comparison from the beginning until now is indescribable."
