Strictly's Helen Skelton has paid homage to her professional dance partner Gorka Marquez as fans praise her for her "growing confidence".
Saturday night saw the Countryfile presenter and Gorka come top of the leaderboard as they scored an impressive 35 out of 40 points for their Charleston performance to the Blue Peter theme tune. The pair, who have formed a close friendship, made it through to week six of the competition after they impressed the judges and viewers at home.
And after a whirlwind of a weekend, mum-of-three Helen has taken a moment to reflect this morning, on Monday, October 24, as they head into another gruelling week of rehearsals. Taking to Instagram to share a snap of her and Gorka backstage, Helen penned a sweet message thanking fans for their support and of course her dancing partner, she wrote: "Thank you doesn’t quite cut it !!! So grateful for your messages and support.
