Tribute to Helen Skelton

Carlisle native, former Blue Peter presenter Helen headed into Saturday’s Strictly series finale and finished second after completing her three fabulous performances.

Helen’s finale dances:

Judge’s Pick: Jive to Tightrope by Janelle Monáe

Favourite Dance: Couple’s Choice to Mein Herr by Liza Minelli (Cabaret)

Showdance: Shine by Emeli Snade

Helen later congratulated Hamza on the big win on Instagram writing, “Huge congratulations @jowitaprzystal and @hamzayassin90 you’ve been brill all series! @mollyrainford @gkx_carlosyour next chapters will be epic. @fleureast @vitocoppola you will always be the people I try to be more like.

Helen then added an honourable mention to her partner Gorka: “I will be forever proud of how hard we worked, how we carried ourselves and how far we went.”

We are sure, Helen who moved back to Cumbria recently will be enjoying a relaxing Christmas with her family on their Lake District farm. We all are so proud of how far she got in the competition.
