Strictly's Helen Skelton has issued an emotional message to fans as she and professional dance partner Gorka grooved their way into week six of the BBC competition.
The pair impressed with their Charleston to the Blue Peter theme tune, scoring themselves a huge 35 for their routine. They were joined by wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin and his partner Jowita at the top of the leaderboard, who scored 35 out of 40 for their Quickstep to On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons, celebrating BBC Nature Programming.
Countryfile presenter Helen took to Instagram to share a photo of her and Gorka backstage. She penned a sweet message to fans, captioning the snap: "Thank you doesn’t quite cut it !!! So grateful for your messages and support.

"Having a blast, learning loads, and trying our hardest to put a smile on your faces. I hope you’re enjoying the journey as much as we are! @gorka_marquez thanks for another great week and for supplying the pics (I am a technophobe so can’t even download the official vids and images)."
Fans and fellow Strictly stars rushed to the comments to praise the couple's achievement - with one even hailing them the 'top dancing couple.' Gorka himself enthused: "Halloween week! Lets go," alongside two pumpkin emojis, while pro dancer Karen Hauer - who was voted off Sunday night's show with dance partner Jayde Adams - said: "Yaaasssss," with four hand-clapping emojis.
Instagram user @marianbrachof commented: "top dancing couple!," while @leslieharris414 added: "Keep dancing you're doing a brilliant job," with four red heart emojis.
"YEEES!! Could not be cheering any louder for you in our house. Huge hugs xx," penned @dotidavies, as @windyjine added: "Love you two. Winners for me already xx".
Comedian Jayde and dancer Karen Hauer were sent home after landing in the bottom two on Sunday evening, with CBBC star Molly Rainford and her dance partner Carlos Gu. But all four judges - Anton Du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse and head judge Shirley Ballas - opted to save Molly.
