Presenter Helen Skelton has admitted that her brain was "on fire" and she didn't "know her own name anymore" during Strictly rehearsals.
The 39-year-old and professional dancer Gorka Márquez, 32, have been busy practising their next dance following the show on Saturday. The pair impressed judges with the American Smooth and were placed 6th on the leaderboard with a score of 26.
They are now keen to repeat their success in the next episode of the popular BBC dancing contest and have been training intensely over the past few days. Gorka shared a picture and video of the two rehearsing their next dance.

In the clip, Gorka can be heard saying: "Day one, week two, finito." Helen grins nervously at the camera and said: "Yep. I mean this is a massive gear change this dance."
He then asked Helen: "How is your brain right now?" To which she replied: "On fire, I don't think I even know my own name anymore."
Gorka helpfully told her: "It's Helen."
Helen, who lives in Leeds with her three children, has been ranked among this year's favourite contestants to win the show - and naturally all her friends and family are rooting for the Blue Peter presenter as well. Broadcaster Jules Hudson who shared Helen's Strictly photograph on Twitter, was among those voicing his support.
He said: "So excited for my old chum now in the race to be crowned Strictly Champion of 2022! Come on Helen!!"
To which Helen replied: "One week at a time please but you’re always good at flattering my ego! See u soon huds."
