Helen Skelton has admitted she's been 'underwhelmed' by some of her performances on Strictly Come Dancing, in an honest confession made on camera during Saturday night's show.
The series so far has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for the Blue Peter and Countryfile presenter. After being the final celeb confirmed for Strictly 2022, Helen fled rehearsals through a fire exit before the first live show in September, with pro partner Gorka Marquez having to talk her into coming back in. Former finalist Gorka has been Helen's biggest cheerleader, even offering a very public display of support for her in week four, when he spoke out to praise her for being 'an amazing woman, an amazing mum and an amazing dancer.'
Helen and Gorka were left smiling ear to ear after getting a series high score of 35 out of 40 for their BBC 100th Birthday routine, a Charleston to the Blue Peter theme tune. There was another special episode this weekend, with Strictly hosting its annual Halloween Week, although hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman were slammed for their lack of costumes.
