Strictly's Craig Revel-Horwood says he's 'disappointed' in Helen after 'silly' mistake

Craig Revel-Horwood divided Strictly Come Dancing viewers on Saturday night after he told competitor Helen Skelton that he was 'disappointed' in her, after she made a mistake during her dance performance.

Countryfile star Helen, 39, may have impressed other judges Anton Du Beke, and Motsi Mabuse, but the same can't be said for Craig, who left Helen looking visibly upset when he told her of his 'disappointment'.

Helen, who has been a constant in the top three on the leaderboard for weeks now, seemingly failed to impress Craig after she and her professional partner, Gorka Marquez, danced the jive - but there was a slight 'delay' in one of their moves which Craig didn't miss.

"I was almost reaching for my 10 paddle. But I'm disappointed. I won't lie."

And while Helen looked saddened by his comment at first, she soon proved that nothing could keep her down as she immediately jumped into a cartwheel in a bid to impress Craig.

Although Craig's comment may have come as a blow, it wasn't all bad news as Helen ended up scoring her highest score yet.

Head judge Shirley Ballas was so impressed by the pair's jive, she told other dancers "that's the way you do it".

Overall, their performance impressed the judges, winning them a score of 37, receiving three 9s and one 10 from Anton Du Beke with their score of 37 being the pair's highest of the season.

Following the results, Strictly viewers flocked to share their reaction.

"I think Helen is going to win this series! Doesn't matter what Craig thinks, lol," one shared.

"You just can't help but love Helen. What a good sport and what an amazing dance that was," another gushed.

"Helen's got my vote. Love her," someone else added.

While a fourth quipped: "Craig saying he's disappointed!!!!! That was her best dance of the series yet."
