Janet Street-Porter said that she found Gorka Marquez 's speech to dance partner Helen Skelton on Strictly Come Dancing over the weekend to be "patronising" and "cringey".
Gorka, 32, addressed Helen, 39, going through a "difficult time" in his speech on Saturday's episode, in which he encouraged her to believe in herself and called her "beautiful".
It comes following her split from husband Richie Myler, 32, with whom she shares three children, earlier this year. It has recently been reported that he is now expecting a baby with his current partner Stephanie Thirkill.
