Strictly's Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez 'grown incredibly close' - body language expert

Strictly Come Dancing's Helen Skleton and Gorka Marquez have 'grown incredibly close' over the past few weeks, according to a body language expert.

Darren Stanton has said he's noticed some interesting moments of intense eye contact between Helen and her pro-dance partner.

The pair will take to the dancefloor with an explosive Jive on the BBC programme this Saturday night, after Motsi Mabuse hailed Helen as a front-runner to make the competition finals.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, Darren added: "Helen and Gorka put on a fantastic performance and again, were completely in sync.

"All of their facial expressions and gestures were in conjunction with feelings of true happiness and elation.

"I did notice some interesting moments of intense eye contact between the couple, which clearly shows they have grown incredibly close.

"While I think Helen will have to fight for a place in the final, she definitely still has a lot more to give and I’m sure we’ll be seeing her on the dancefloor for many more weeks to come."

Helen told the Mirror, that Strictly has put a smile on her face after a tough few months following the breakdown of her marriage to Richie Myler in April.
