As Strictly fans limber up for the show's live tour, Helen Skelton has paid tribute to Gorka Marquez's support during the hit show. The Countryfile presenter has referred to him as her 'wingman'.
In an appreciative Instagram post, she wrote: "Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks of hindsight to really appreciate what went down on and off the dance floor." The message comes as the former Blue Peter presenter 'swaps partners' for the upcoming Strictly Come Dancing live tour, which will arrive at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena on Tuesday, January 24, and Wednesday, January 25, 2023.
Helen and Gorka made the headlines after fans followed their dance journey to the Strictly final. Millions tuned in to the BBC show to watch them compete for the Glitterball trophy. Judge Craig Revel-Horwood declared their perfect 40 out 40 routine to Mein Herr from Cabaret 'a performance worthy of a win', however, the pair eventually lost out to Hamza and Jowita.
