Strictly's Helen Skelton 'proves point' as trend emerges on show's live tour

Strictly Come Dancing fans are declaring that Helen Skelton is 'proving a point' and getting 'justice' on the show's live tour, after she notched up another win alongside new partner Kai Widdrington on Monday night.

Following a rather hesitant start to life on Strictly, as she battled a severe lack of self confidence, Helen really came into her own as her partnership with former finalist Gorka Marquez got stronger and stronger, taking them all the way to the final. Ahead of the final in December, Helen and Gorka were made second finalists to win, with the bookies getting it right as long standing front runners Hamza and Jowita ended up clinching the Glitterball trophy.

After finally getting a perfect 40 out of 40 for their Couple's Choice to Mein Herr, Helen and Gorka finished the final second on the leaderboard, behind Fleur and Vito, as Hamza and Jowita were actually last with the judges.

But it's Helen, together with Strictly Christmas special winner Kai, who are proving to be the ones to beat on the live arena tour so far, with them notching up three victories since it kicked off in Birmingham on Friday.

Helen and Kai triumphed on opening night at the Utlita Arena, before winning again on Sunday night, before the tour moved to Nottingham. And their winning ways continued in the new location, as they beat Will and Nancy to claim victory at the Motorpoint Arena. Will and Nancy themselves have two wins under their belt, with Hamza and Jowita winning one.

And the Strictly fans who all think that Helen should have been Strictly winner are delighted she's getting the success they claim she deserves.

When Monday night's result was announced on the Strictly live tour Instagram page, the response was very pro Helen, with one fan responding: "Carry on proving that you were robbed. Team Helen."

A second reacted: "Interesting - a lot of people thought Helen should have won Strictly and here she is winning most -so far - on the tour," with another commenting: "I just love that this is proving something. Helen should have won Strictly 2022 and now she has the most wins on tour I love it".
