Strictly Come Dancing fans are convinced Helen Skelton made a new set of digs at her ex Richie Myler during the BBC show final.
The Countryfile presenter thrilled viewers as she and Gorka Marquez impressed with their Couple's Choice routine that they did in musicals week a few weekends prior to the final. They wowed with their incredible routine, with many fans describing it as a revenge routine the first time around following the end of Helen and her ex's relationship.
Earlier this year, Helen was left heartbroken after announcing that her marriage to Richie had ended, telling fans that he had left the family home. Soon after, the Leeds Rhinos star started dating Stephanie Thirkill, 32, the daughter of club president Andrew Thirkill.
The pair are now expecting their first child together, and fans took to Twitter to heap praise on her routine as they noticed a number of digs at her ex-husband Richie, with whom she shares three children.
"Princess Diana had a revenge dress, @HelenSkelton had a revenge dance #Strictly," one wrote, as a second added: "Never mind Princess Diana’s revenge dress. Helen has invented the revenge dance. My dance of the series. #strictly."
A third shared: "Helen’s dance very much giving her the finger to her ex boyfriend #StrictlyComeDancing."
"You’ve got to hope Helen’s ex hubby is seeing this and feeling a little bad for how he treated her…. #StrictlyFinal," a fourth added as they heaped praise on Helen.
It comes after Helen admitted Strictly has given her the confidence back after a tough year following the split.
"I've found confidence and I think [Gorka] is clever in that he's never made it about being sexy," she explained, "It's about being sassy and powerful and being in control and that's a wonderfully freeing thing for anybody when they feel in control of themselves and what they're doing. So I don't think it's about being sexy, it's about being confident in your own skin and being who you are.
"The thing [Gorka] kept saying to me at the beginning that I did get to remember was 'Just own it, own it'. I was like, 'What does that even mean?' And now I get it. It's been a wonderfully liberating thing to just be happy in your own skin and your own shoes."
Helen received a nearly perfect score for the routine as the judges branded it incredible.
Speaking about the reaction to the dance the first time around, she added: "That was a moment! It's a weird thing for people to go mad for something we're doing... people keep going 'You've been on a journey', but [Gorka's] done it!"
