Strictly Come Dancing pro Gorka Marquez has shared a video online in which Helen Skelton declares she's 'feeling good' about this week, after his passionate plea during Saturday night's live show for her to have more self-belief.
Blue Peters and Countryfile star Helen had already had a turbulent year, before throwing herself into Strictly training, after the breakdown of her marriage to rugby player Richie Myler, who she has three children with. Gorka was forced to coax Helen back into an early training session, after she fled through a fire exit and then, desperate to try and instil some confidence in her, he surrounded her with mirrors in week two rehearsals so she had no option but to look at herself.
After getting their highest score to date in Movie Week, Gorka and Helen performed a paso doble last weekend, but their routine was somewhat overshadowed by what former Strictly finalist Gorka said in the aftermath, in the same week that it was revealed RIchie is already expecting a child with his new girlfriend.
