Gorka Marquez has given his backing to his former Strictly Come Dancing partner Helen Skelton, as she embarks on a new TV project with another contestant from the BBC show.
Having previously made the Strictly final alongside Alexandra Burke and Maisie Smith, Gorka was paired with former Blue Peter presenter Helen in the ballroom last year and, after a rather hesitant start to their time together, with Helen even walking out of rehearsals at one point, the couple went from strength to strength and made it all the way to the finale.
They ended up being beaten to the Glitterball trophy by Hamza and Jowita, before Helen then joined forces with another Strictly pro, Kai Widdrington, for the annual live tour, after Gorka turned down the chance to do the tour, to instead spend some quality time with his family.
