Helen and Gorka have made it through to the next round after performing a Blue Peter dance on Saturday night (October 22) as the show celebrated 100 years of the BBC.
Speaking to Claudia, Helen said: “I’m a geek, I like to go online and see what he’s done before to know what's in store. I just want to get it right. You just want to do it good.”
Speaking about how Gorka is like her brother, she added: “He looks after me, keeps me right, gets me breakfast, tells me what I need to do so I’m very grateful.”
Later on in the show, Helen and Gorka were described as the “couple to beat on Saturday” following their dance. Judge Motsi Mabuse said: "She was active, she was fine, she was slick, she had confidence. They were the couple to beat on Saturday."
