He told Helen: “He reminds me of me, but stronger, so yeah I’m very pleased that he’s called Gorka.

“I think he’s very sensitive and quiet like me wouldn’t you say?”

Helen then added: “Ummm, if you say so. I’d say very supportive and patient.”

Co host Jules Hudson then added: “Look Gorka is a really good member, he looks good, he stands well, he’s a sure quality animal.”

Helen replied: “Can I just say I’m never going to hear the end of this. He’s a sure quality animal.”

Jules added: “I’m delighted to see you’ve bonded so well Gorka.”

Helen won a standing ovation for the powerful routine.

Eagle-eyed Strictly fans have dubbed the dance Helen’s “revenge” routine as they reckon the presenter was sending a message to her ex.

One fan shared a picture of Princess Diana in her so-called ‘revenge’ dress and tweeted: “The parallels. Oozing confidence. Completely owning herself. HELEN!”

Another said: “Helen Skelton’s revenge dance is the most iconic thing I’ve ever seen on Strictly btw.”
