Gorka Marquez has gone some way to silencing accusations that he was a 'sore loser' at the end of Saturday's final, after viewers clocked his disappointed face as he and Helen Skelton were beaten by Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal.
Going into the series finale of the BBC show, Gorka and On The Farm presenter Helen were second favourites to win, with odds on them taking home the coveted Glitterball trophy shortening in the weeks and days leading up to the final. However, in the end it was Hamza and Jowita who became the latest Strictly champions, topping the public vote when it mattered the most, after finishing bottom of the leaderboard on judges' scores alone.
Helen and Gorka did all they could to try and snatch victory, with their third and final dance of the night, a reprise of their Couple's Choice to Mein Herr from Cabaret, receiving a perfect 40 out of 40, as Craig Revel-Horwood described it as 'winning' routine. And, as it was announced that it was Hamza and Jowita who'd won, rather than him and Helen, Gorka failed to hide his disappointment, looking visibly gutted in the immediate aftermath.
