Gorka Marquez has admitted to Strictly Come Dancing fans that he and celeb partner Helen Skelton are having an 'intense' week as the semi final draws ever closer and Helen has been jiggling rehearsals with other TV commitments.
After ex Blue Peter host Helen had a real crisis of confidence in the first few weeks of Strictly's new series, she has become one of the frontrunners to take home this year's Glitterball trophy, having been a regular near the top of the leaderboard and getting a near perfect score of 39 out of 40 on two separate occasions now.
Helen and Gorka' s amazing partnership, their consistent high scores and the fact they've yet to be in the bottom two, has put them right in the mix for Strictly victory, as far as bookies are concerned, with their odds of winning creeping every closer to long time favourite Hamza Yassin all the time.
