Strictly Come Dancing fans have welcomed Helen's roaring success during the first live episode, as she and dancing partner, Gorka Marquez, briefly topped the leaderboard tonight.
Her success this evening comes as ex, Richie Myler, suffered a blistering defeat in his Leeds Rhinos performance against St Helens. The Rugby League final was lost with a score of 24 to 12, with St Helens going on to achieve a record-breaking fourth consecutive Grand Final win.
There was more success for Leeds on the dancefloor though, as Helen Skelton wowed judges with her and Gorka's rendition of an American Smooth.
