Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez are being tipped to cause a Strictly Come Dancing 'upset' after their stellar performance on Friday night saw their odds of winning the show shorten even further. And the prediction that they could triumph comes as Helen gave credit to Gorka for his support.
As they continue to gain on bookies' favourites Hamza and Jowita, Helen and Gorka once again put themselves firmly in the frame for a shot at Strictly victory with a fierce Musicals Week performance to Mein Herr from Cabaret. There were whoops and screams around the ballroom throughout the routine and as it ended, with an electric reception sounding out around the studio as the pair’s Strictly co-stars took to their feet with excitement.
Judge Anton Du Beke said he was emotional at seeing Helen go out there and give it her all, after being hit with a crippling lack of self confidence earlier on in the series. The routine earned Helen and Gorka 39 out of 40, the same score their Quickstep got in Blackpool, as many viewers dubbed it the ‘dance of the series.
