Gorka Marquez has argued that Helen Skelton should have received some 'higher' marks on Strictly Come Dancing so far, as he continues to try and boost his celebrity partner's confidence.
Countryfile star Helen, despite not being near the top of the leaderboard yet, is still a frontrunner to win Strictly this year, in the eyes of both bookies and viewers, but she has been plagued by a distinct lack of self-belief, something the judges and Gorka himself have addressed and urged her to overcome.
This week Gorka and Helen will throw things back to her TV big break, when they dance a Charleston to the theme tune to Blue Peter, the show Helen was a presenter on for a number of years. Appearing as a guest on Friday's Lorraine, Helen said her knees were "bruised to high heaven, " from rehearsing the different tricks and lifts for Saturday's routine.
