Gorka Marquez has given a brief yet encouraging response to seeing his Strictly Come Dancing partner, Helen Skelton, moving on with a new pro for the show's live tour. After they wowed both the Strictly judges and viewers at home with their fantastic chemistry and dazzling performances, Gorka and Helen were many people's pick to win the latest series of the BBC show, reports the Chronicle.
Sadly for them, they were beaten to the Glitterball trophy by Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal, but they did get their first 40 in the final, thanks to Craig Revel-Horwood finally being swayed to dust off his 10 paddle for their Couple's Choice.
That was the routine many Strictly fans were hoping to see them recreate on the arena tour, which gets going in Birmingham this weekend; but unfortunately, while Helen may still do it, it won't be with Gorka as he isn't doing the tour. Instead, Helen will dance with Kai Widdrington, fresh from his victory on the Strictly Christmas special.
