Helen Skelton is taking solace in the wild reaction she and pro partner Gorka Marquez got from the studio audience on Saturday night, as they lost out on the Glitterball trophy to Hamza and Jowita.
Former Blue Peter presenter Helen and now three time finalist Gorka were many people's pick for victory, heading into Saturday's series finale and ended up finishing second on the leaderboard after completing their three performances. They earned a near perfect 39 out of 40 for their opening jive, before getting 37 for their emotionally charged Show Dance.
The Couple's finest moment in the Strictly final arrived when they closed the show with their amazing Couple's Choice number. Helen and Gorka scored 39 for the Cabaret inspired routine just two weeks earlier in the quarter final, but went one better on Saturday, when Craig Revel-Horwood was swayed to dust off his 10 paddle, telling them it was a 'winner worthy' performance.
