BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Helen Skelton shares fresh post about 'family' with sweet snaps

Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton has shared her gratitude for her family as she and Gorka Marquez made it through to another week on the BBC dance show. On Saturday night the couple took the ballroom floor for Movie Week.

Professional dancer Gorka impressed as John Travalto with Helen as his Sandy as they performed a spellbinding Viennese Waltz to Hopelessly Devoted To You by the late Olivia Newton-John from the iconic film Grease.

And after their latest dance in the hit BBC One dance contest, the pair were applauded by the judges and scored an impressive 31 points out of a possible 40 for their dreamy routine which they said paid tribute to Olivia, famed for playing Sandy, following her death last month.

Gorka's proud partner Gemma Atkinson shared an adorable video of daughter Mia watching her 'Papa' perform in the third live show. Former Emmerdale and Hollyoaks actress Gemma, who competed in the 2017 series where she met her fiance, cheered them on by sharing a snap of them in costume on her Instagram, saying "Good luck Sandy and Danny."

And after their latest dance on the BBC dance contest, she applauded them by channeling the word favoured by judge Craig Revel-Horwood as she exclaimed: "Ah Ma Zing!!!!!" Then on Sunday, Gemma posted a video clip of their three-year-old daughter Mia spellbound as she watched her daddy perform, saying with a crying-laughing emoji: "We're on take 246."

Helen, 39, also shared the post and wrote: "The main judges for us.... @gorka_marquez @glouiseatkinson," alongside a string of red heart emojis. She then shared her own message to her family who have been cheering
