Helen Skelton has thanked her fans for helping her and pro dancing partner, Gorka Marquez, make it to week three of Strictly Come Dancing. The dancing duo have enjoyed two stunning dances together, as they prepare to take on yet more challenges.
Helen and Gorka have already wowed judges with an American Smooth and a Cha Cha, so fans are eagerly awaiting their next performance. This week is Movie Week on the Strictly dancefloor, so the pair will be performing a Viennese Waltz to the Grease hit 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'.
And Countryfile presenter, Helen, has taken to Instagram to thank all of her fans that have made this possible. She said that she is "loving it" and is very grateful to be on the show.
