Strictly's Gorka Marquez left red-faced after sending pictures of him and Helen Skelton to complete stranger

Helen Skelton has posted a hilarious video to her Instagram, showing her and Gorka Marquez in stitches after a tech mix-up. The video shows the moments after Gorka had accidentally Airdropped photos to a strangers phone.

Helen and Gorka can both be heard giggling, with Gorka also looking very embarrassed. The stranger in question, a woman sitting next to them in a coffee shop, can be seen holding her phone and laughing along with them.

It turns out that Gorka had accidentally Airdropped some photos - and a video - of him and Helen in their Strictly outfits. Presumably, he had intended to send the snaps to Helen, but had accidentally sent them to the wrong phone.

"Can you just show me what he's just sent you?" Helen can be heard asking, as she approaches the woman. She then holds up her phone and shows a photo of Helen and Gorka.

Helen says: "Just for the record, we don't know this lovely lady and Gorka's [laughter]." Gorka then clarifies: "Thank goodness it's dance pictures", which gets yet more laughter out of everyone.

Posting the funny clip to Instagram, Helen captioned it: " Too good not to leave here for posterity…. Still my favourite moment of the week….. when a lovely stranger turns and thanks you for the photos you just sent her. @gorka_marquez didn’t realise he had actually sent any photos. That’s the risky game of air drop. Wow she must have thought they’re confident #toogood".

Gorka responded with a number of face palm emojis, along with some laughing faces. Other commenters were quick to point out that the woman in question had still accepted the photos.

And fans were also joining in on the laughter, with some saying that the clip had made their day. Mandy Jackson said: "Bless you Gorka, that's made me laugh so much". And Alison Claire said: "This made me howl [laughing emoji] You two are fabulous...my faves on SCD this year".
