Bit emotional watching this. Breaks my heart how badly her and her children were let down by her husband. Also, how he tried taking her sunshine by announcing his mistresses pregnancy just as the show started. She has not complained once and just got on with it. Her confidence has grown so much over the course of this series. This performance was AMAZING. I don't know where she has found her strength. What a woman.
She'll have the last laugh...as they say , you can't build your happiness on someone elses unhappiness. Hopefully her career will now soar and her ex's relationship with his 3 kids will never be the same. How you can walk out when your youngest child is only a few months old is pretty bad. All power to you Helen...you have shone!
What a woman she should have won!!!!!
@@deltafay1981 this was Helen's and her kids way of saying F... You(but without swearing)
How are her personal problems in any way connected with her dancing ability?
Yes we all feel for Helen at this time, and to think this other woman's upset at this "happy " time in her life not taking in to consideration she expecting a baby with another woman's husband.
Robbed of a 40! One of the best couples choices ever!
I didn't watch it live but this definitely deserves a 40 loved it better than Fleur's couples choice
Yeah same
@@lesleyannismay8295 in my opinion it wasnât better than fleurs
Dance of the series. It was a couples choice so anything goes so for Craig to say it had to totally Fosse was wrong. What did they judge Fleurs couples choice on - it was so freestyle it was difficult to critique.
FABULOUS just FABULOUS!
That was such a middle finger up to her loser ex as well, you could feel her take her power back it gave me chills- YES HELEN!!
Go girl, we are all behind you
she looked like a second rate drag queen.

Spot on comment...was fire! :)

This was all about Helen...Gorka was so clever with the choreography to step back here and really make her shine. And what a way to do it too! Helen was utterly brilliant, what a strong, powerful, confident and defiant f**k you performance! This is definately one of those iconic strictly dances everyone will remember and talk about in years to come. Despite not getting a 40 (which she deserverd), Helen is the true winner here for sure! Toodle Loo!
What she said ^
I want to see the judges comments. How was this not a perfect 10/10!!
Should have been a 40.... incredible performance from Helen!
Gorka didn't choreograph this - it was Beth Honan to the best of my knowledge!
Nikita wrote it in his IG stories
Fabulous dance Helen
Really brilliant interpretation full marks from me .
Brilliant.â€
That was a solo performance that Gorka gave her and I am here for it!! Gorka, you are a gent of the highest order. Helen, you are a class act. Hand them the glitterball now please
Gorka is officially a gay icon following this performance. They did it to perfection, not merely just a go at Fosse but an absolute treat for the senses
@@MrSpookyLover Correction, Gorka was ALWAYS a gay icon darling.

This dance was choreographed to perfection. Highlighting how far Helen has come in this competition.
as befits a 'strictly' champion!!!
this is going straight into the strictly hall of fame⊠a proper show-stopping moment that had my jaw on the floor!
I was screaming go girl at the screen. Two fingers up to the past!!!!! Love, love, loved every second. Fair play to Gorka in a corset too
Gorka had a corset and a moustache lol . This couple's choice was fun and Helen has grown in confidence.
And Gorka is dancing like I have never seen him dance before. Helen, Gorks -- keep strong, keep pushing the envelope, the final could be yours and that Glitterball too.
@@beverleypender5931 Gorka loves himself.
@@honeybee3414 can you blame him
@@honeybee3414 Itâs called self-confidence, maybe you should try it? đ€·đŸ
Women power, Im so proud of her. She's had a baby, her husband left for another women. Just as this series begins, he annouces his new partner is pregnant. All in the public gaze. She mimed those words on purpose, she's brilliant, I've been there like many women, but not in public. She was broken when this series started, now look at her. â€
Damn she stuck two fingers up at her ex with this dance. Utterly brilliant
Yes, it's so much of "look what you gave up, I'll show you!"
Thatâs exactly what I was thinking when I watched this
Hear Hear!
Quite literally, at 1:11
it's was a middle finger and revenge without it being like in your face and Helen was just enjoying her that's the best part c
We all know the true meaning behind this dance. Absolutely fantastic and empowering. What an amazing dance! She served!
Great comment đ
My late mother used to say ' Revenge is a dish, best served cold"
Helen served that dish with that performance !
She did everything except raise her middle finger! What a fabulous performance
@@judithgeorge6084you know, Iâm pretty sure she did at 1:11!
@@thecorpsebridelife I think youâre right đ
Holy shit the Fosse choreography in this looks deceptively easy but it's harder than it looks and she pulled it off so well! Might be one of my favourite dances of the series period, and I've been rooting for Molly for most of it. Go Helen! I honestly think this is a huge transformation for her, and good for her!
I agree, Molly is a fantastic dancer but has had much less of an arc than Helen. Still don't think she should have been in so many dance-offs though
Totally agree with this fully! đ„°
Exactly had lessons with A judge who now is based in la and a fosse piece nearly killed us. Because it is so simple looking but so hard to master and you use so many more muscles than you think you ever would.

Some Strictly dances stick in the mind forever, and this is one of them. Helen came into the competition after having all her confidence and self worth stripped from her by her scumbag ex husband. She saw herself as perfunctory. But with Gorkaâs help, sheâs clawed back so much of her self esteem that she could do this, to one of the most powerful âf*** youâ break up songs. For me, it wasnât so much a dance as a catharsis, flushing out every last remnant of pain, hurt and self-pity, and replacing it with defiance and a soupçon of âlook at me, Iâve still got it and you lost me!â Good on yer, Helen!
+Leopold it's like when i was in secondary school i got bullied a lot and my mum noticed and because i have Autism and couldn't tell her she asked me to write it down. She sorted it out and they got kicked out. I was in year 9 and we started to do dancing in PE and i joined in and did a performance in the Kirkby suite and it was a F... You to the bullies without swearing
What a performance!! I love how much Helen has grown in confidence from week 1. Should have been a 40!
ditto!!!
This and her quickstep are probably her best to date , Helen's transformation is incredible for sure đđđ.
@@gemstar7286 helen & gorka will win 'strictly' without a doubt!!!
@@normankennith7919they didnât hah
you are right but it was a fix!! the bbc wanted hamza to win because he was fronting a new programme for them!
to compensate helen from rightly winning 'strictly', they offered her a lot of work, on early morning, dinnertime & evening shows, while allowing her to appear on other tv channels, which meant she was financially better off!!
any ideas what last year's 'strictly' winner is doing, freya?
with a name like 'hamza, he wouldn't have won this year!! the british people would probably think he's a terrorist!!!@@freyahinson.2011x
Best dance of the series definitely. It deserved a 40 for sure. A serious contender for the trophy.
a brilliant theatrical dance routine!! anybody who didn't like it should blame that second rate choreographer, bob fosse & the over rated liza minelli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@lorrainescott8655 it doesn't matter! everybody knows helen & gorka are deservedly going to lift the 'SCD' trophy!!!!
I think that dance says Up yours Ritchie đ
Absabloodylutely
She just oozed "Look at what you gave up."
She didn't need to prove a point though (even if she did do it so bloody well), to me it was more of a look you haven't broken me, look how much I've moved on and grown stronger without you. Wasn't Gorka crawling on his knees all submissive to the all powerful emblematic too?! Very very clever choreography which truly let Helen shine!
Absolutely gob smacked. Such an iconic dance in the film and she smashed it. Sheâs a tv presenter with no dance experience. Just incredible. Definitely a 40.
This was by far one of the best but I think hayley's singing is well worth of a mention too
I think sometimes Craig forgets that these are amateurs. She learnt this in like 3 days, of course there might be some teeny tiny little thing that isnât absolute perfection but sheâs a novice dancer and that was bloody good
Yes, between his "flaws" for this and Molly's, he's just searching for any little flimsy excuse, and it's kinda frustrating. Sure, they need to be pushed, but this should be judged as an amateur performance, and besides, we're near the finals, and if they pushed themselves really hard, they should get the score they're due.
even astaire, kelly, charisse, minelli & hayworth made mistakes!! helen & gorka obviously should have got 40 tonight but vague craig is saving his 10 for them in the final!!!
Yet he made sure Fleur got 40 for basically mimicking Beyonce in a wildly predictable showdance. This was utter class and deserved 4 10's. Oh well.... atleast the public gets to vote at the end...not Craig.
@@bessieburnet9816 It is all about Craig! When he does give a 10 he wallows in the applause as though he has done it not the performer. Helen deserved a 10, so did Molly, but I guess the judges want Hamza to win, so he will. Nice guy, good dancer, but these two are better, so are Will and Fluer
I do think they deserved a 40 but I'm so tired of people hating on Craig - he has high standards even if they are amateurs and his critiques are always correct (haters gonna hate but they are). The dancers really benefit from his tips and come out stronger from them.
Princess Diana wore the black dress, this was Helen's moment. Brilliant performance.
She took the lead and Gorka let her shine... amazing. Well done Helen. đđ
The way gorka stood back and let Helen have her moment was genius. I must admit so far I thought Helen was great but faded into the background a bit. But Blackpool was like her butterfly moment. And this week she was just...wow....how that wasn't a 40 I will never know. This was truly the dance of the season. And the extra middle finger to her ex was the icing on top. You could feel her regaining that power as the dance went on.
I couldn't agree more with what you said. I've watched this so many times now and still don't "see" Gorka in it. Love how he kind of dimmed into the back ground. Was his submissive crawling actually a subliminal message to Richie too I wonder? Helen is the star here for sure. Her confidence and strength has grown quietly from week to week and I hope she gets to the final and even wins. If not this dance will always be one for victory in strictly's history anyway
Truly Brilliant,Helen and Gorka.đŻđâ„ïžâ„ïž
Gorka what a gent you gave Helen the lead this was the dance of the series for me you both deserve to be in the final
Go Helen! For all us mums left to strive on for the kids!
I do agree with Craigâs comment on using her centre core BUT in saying that- this deserved a 40. The DIFFERENCE from week one, the dedication to this dance and finding herself again after her divorce- đđŒđđŒđđŒ sheâs done herself so proud! Also the line âyouâre better without meâ during this musical number, the perfect bye bye to her ex. Queen shit!â€
you obviously have lots of dance / gymnastics experience, I dont so I could not see anything wrong with the performance like the other 3 judges. I just love watching dancing, it has a feel good feeling to it. If you are a dancer, is it the same feeling or more. My late Mum loved her sequence dancing and did this up to 89 years of age.
Score: 10
YESSSSSS!!!!!! One of the best couples choices ever! This was robbed of a 40! This was my type of Couple's Choice, just quality fosse dancing, every movement, even when she was sitting down,had something to think about! She absolutely held her own with the backing dancers, which no one else did tonight. This was Helens way of sticking two fingers up at Ritchie and saying f*** you. Absolutely immaculate! Probably best dance of the series!
I don't usually comment but I just wanted to say that growing up in the early 2000s Helen was the first woman on TV I saw with such power and strength (anyone who saw her challenges on Blue Peter will know) - so to see her grow in confidence again and smash this routine made my heart sing. Love you Helen!
She was my idol growing up with blue Peter!!! Strange to be proud of someone you never met! Haha
Exactly! Helen was a power woman of my childhood. To see her so emotionally crushed but to then rise back up and regain her strength and remember her worth... Beautiful! đ€©
The best thing about this partnership was as well as learning to dance, Gorka made Helen realise her worth and love herself again.
One of my top dances from strictly ever alongside Danny Macs Samba. Definitely been watching on repeat.
i've watched this dance 6 times already!! i'll watch it again & then go to beddy!!!
Have to agree, itâs up there as one of the best dances. Iâm not easily impressed and my jaw dropped and I was Bob smacked for a while. I always had Fayeâs Charleston & Claudiaâs Charleston as stand out dances, this went above and beyond.
@@Ballroom999 helen is the best all round dancer left in 'strictly'!!!
people should remember that she is not a 'show biz' type, more of an adventurer!!
i think she may well become the oldest female to win 'strictly'!!!
Gorka is officially a gay icon following this performance. They did it to perfection, not merely just a go at Fosse but an absolute treat for the senses
Also ,that's exactly the moment on strictly that came to me some time after watching ,that I hadn't seen one quite as brilliant since either Danny doing the samba (was shook!) Or Karims jive which for me is another of the shows greatest moments..
@@Ballroom999 Karim and Amy doing the jive too. It was like something out of a stage show along with Danny Mac or Alesha dixon (so many dances!)
Go on Helen,make your statement you powerful woman,such an incredible dance,scores don't bother me in a dance like this,this was about making a point and by god did Gorka let her do itđđđđ
I'm honestly not a great 'dance fan', but this was magnificent, with very clever choreography and impeccable timing.
When the shine of his new 'love' has worn off and the tedium of nappies and daily life becomes ever more overbearing, Mr. Myler can watch this and wonder, "What on earth have I done?"
This should have been a 40 score. Absolutely amazing.
I used to dance in the Musical "Fosse"...we rehearsed for weeks and weeks, because Bob Fosse's choreographies are so particular. All kudos to Helen for that, she did spectacularly well!!!
Not usually a fan of the coupleâs choice but this blew me away⊠â€ïž Helen & Gorka, what a team, you can win this guys đ
Insane!! And insane how this was not a 40! One of the best dances in Strictly History, couldn't take my eyes off her, mesmerised!! Sorry Gorka!!
This was brilliant I hope she finds the happiness she deserves.
Add this to the best of Couples Choice, Helen was outstanding in this routine, it is yours for the taking Helen (Hamza has flatlined for me). What a statement to that boy that used to be your husband (He is not a man after what he has done). Deserved a 40 an iconic dance and best of the series by the proverbial mile
One of the best performances I've ever seen on Strictly. Amazing choreography, and I really need to have Gorka Marquez serving Fosse in every day of my life. Outstanding.
Best dance of the series! I was sat glued into this routine never wanting it to stop, won't be the last time I'll be watching this that's for sure đ„Č
Agree, do not understand how Craig thought fluers couple choice was worth a 10 and this was worth only a 9. For me this was the best couples choice dance to date.
many people will be watching repeats of this dance routine!!
craig gave them a 9 for effect!! he is saving his 10 for them in the final, which i will be very disappointed if she doesn't win!!!
I couldn't take my eyes off Helen, she was so mesmorising, I forgot Gorka was even there with her!
@@sarahhiscock7487 Ditto!
@@sarahhiscock7487 craig will give helen & gorka a 10 in the final, when they will become champions!!
helen is a fabulous human being who deserves to win 'strictly' - bearing in mind she is nearly 40, (there's an omen!), has 3 children, had been divorced at the start of the year & is the oldest celebrity left in the competition & will become the oldest female winner when the y hand her the winner's trophy!!!
If you play this back in slow-mo you can see just how perfectly synchronised their moves were. This was her dance and it deserved 40.
Um sorry this is rubbish - she stumbled coming out of the floor drop when she was crouched on hie back, there was a mistake in the line with the pro dancers and she has totally different shaping to Gorka in many of the side by side figures
I met her in Lanzarote airport this year and told her she was amazing in strictly. She was flying home on her own with her kids. We were all getting burger Kings. Wish I had have told her how much of an inspiration she was. I got star struck and I've met bigger stars. Just love her â€ïž
Absolutely EPIC! When she mouthes those words to the camera?! Yes Helen!! đ„đ„đđŒ
Couples choice in musicals is a gift
As a pro dancer myself, that was bloody awesome and her Ex must be regretting his choices after that đ
Robbed of the perfect score by Craig, my favourite for the glitter ball, Helen all the way
Helen Skelton- YES!! showing us all how it is done ...
This was the best dance of all time for me, Helen oozed sex and confidence, completely smashed it and she deserves to win this, she has gone on the journey, her confidence was gone and Gorka has brought it back, they are both amazing xx
Except she's not sexy unfortunately .that grimace wasn't sexy .she's no Liza Minelli .
Definitely. Her confidence is sky high as is her class to move on from that ex. Go on and win this now đ
This girls on fire.
Craig 9
Shirley 10
Motsi 10
Anton 10
= 39âš Craig!!! đ
You would think she was a professional..đđ»My favourite of the night. â€ïž
The dance of the series tbh! âšđ€
maybe the best dance in all the series of 'strictly'!!!
I have written and predicted on the 8th of September 2022 that Helen Skelton will win strictly..she's giving her all....go girl..đđđ
This felt like the entertainment break part of the show and they were a West end show showing their new tour. Sensational!
Dance of the series
Outstanding! Every year one dance stands out and will be forever viewed, this is that dance.
Absolutely robbed of a perfect score. Stunning performance đđ
Oh my goodness. Not only is she a beautiful, brave lady but wow what a bodyđ€đđđ
Helen kind of went under my radar, until her Quickstep in Blackpool. And now this! Firstly, what a glorious two finger salute to her ex :) Now onto the dance ... despite looking subtle and easy, Fosse choreography is bloody hard. Even when you are standing still there is something that your body is supposed to be doing, and the amount of control required is off the chart. I thought Helen did a great job. Really 'clean' dancing, her splits were sharp, her posture was great, she hit all the highlights with precision and fully committed to the routine. One of the few routines from this series that I will go back to and re-watch. Gorka also deserves praise for the routine and for keeping Helen in the spotlight. He placed a lot of trust in Helen to carry the dance, which she did admirably. Well done.
I couldn't agree more. Helen went under my radar a bit too even though Gorka is one of my favourite pros. I loved her paso, even though the nerves got the better of her a bit, and since then I've loved watching her improve and blossom.
Ah lovely Helen Skelton, always seemed fearless and gave everything 100 % whatever she was doing. What a perfect role model for youngsters, and this was an outstanding performance, worthy of a glitter ball indeed. Gorka is also lush.
You should have seen her climbing up and down a large piece of scaffolding in 'A League of their Own', after most of the tough he-man chaps bottled out. When asked about it, she just said "I'm a farm kid".
@@hb1338 haven't seen it but will always remember as an Irish lad with his own masculinity issues through life watching her Amazon row and thinking this woman is a proper Northern machine and wha a woman
Sorry but this is not the same helen as the helen that started this show all them weeks ago!!!! Unreal. Go onnnnnnnnnn helen!!!!! Yessssssssssss!!!! What a lady. Dance of the night. Absolutely bossed it. Go on helen and gorka. The transformation is unreal. Routing for these two. They have deffo been on that 'journey'! 10 from me đ€
they were my pick to win 'strictly' from the beginning!! it's their's to lose now!!!
Absolutely brilliant. You foolish man loosing this stunning lady đđđ
Graz did it with Kym and Gorka did it with Helen. Wow wow wow!! Both men succeeded in being support dancers tonight with eyes only on their leading ladies. confident choriographers both. This routine was fantastic, well done to Helen!
Loved everything about this performance đŻđâ€ïžđđđđđ
Been watching Strictly for years and I've never ever seen any performance this good.
It was truly outstanding. Strictly Hall of Fame!
In the words of Claudia Winkleman: "I think I am pregnant"
Love this revenge dance so much, screw you ex husband â€
Gemma is certainly pregnant again after seeing Gorka like that. đđ€Ł
@@bessieburnet9816 definitely when he's crawling round seductively on all fours.......đ

You always get that one dance you will never forget and watch over and over again. Absolutely incredible!! đđâ€ïž
Absolutely amazing and definitely deserved 40, Helen has grown so much as a person as well as a dancer and she has a new sense of confidence! So proud of her! đ
Simply Stunning đ One of the best performances ever!!
DITTO!!!
This gave me everything!!! Absolutely brilliant and what a way to say screw you MoFo! That split after crawling on Gorka... Perfection!
This will go down in history⊠fabulous!
Score - *11!!!!*
This was the easiest 10 (or may I say 11) to give. Power, strength, dominance and sultryness. Incredible fosse and expression right to Helen's very fingertips. Untouchable, raunchy but statemented, well played the character was! I didn't want the routine to end it felt so quick, loved the leg action, all the extensions and solo sections. Fantastic synchronisation and performance. One of the Best routines on the show ever, definitely one of the strongest couples choices atleast. It was absolutely gorgeous, they thrived with this number, the song and choreography was perfect for this, it was the perfect rendition to FU to her ex and for Gorka to show off how ripped he is and how much he loves showing off his ass basically. Well done to both of them, a fabulous routine. Fosse worthy performance here đ
Sorry, but do you think it's better than Fleur's CC!?
Itâs so exposing dancing like this when all the others are professionalsâŠâŠshe more than held her own IMO.
Gorka let her shine! Bravo! This dance will go down in Strictly history đđđ
It was fabulous and this is one of my fav couples choice. I loved all of it
Score-10
Well done Gorka too. Championship fodderđâ€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€â€
Note to Helen please include Cell Block Tango from the musical Chicago & dedicate it to your Ex & Craig.......oh the joy đ
Canât stop re watching this amazing performance
SPECTACULAR and very well danced! A big congratulation to Gorka for this Perfect and Amazing choreography and of course the costumes and the make up absolutely Brilliant xx
That is how you OWN a dance, tv moment of 2022 and Craig, read the room.
Just the way Helen stepped over the lights with that purposeful lookâŠ..she nailed it there!! And those short kicks â€
Wow, this felt like a 'look out world, Helen's on fire'. Gorka, well done for giving her the floor. You really let her stand out. When the pro takes the spotlight I forget to watch the celeb so they don't get my vote. I'm going to watch and re-watch this video off and on all wknd. You got a standing ovation from me (oh, and all my votes)!! xx
A woman takin the reigns back good on ya girl ..loved it ..the middle finger ..the singin to camera ..this oozed power and sod u ..been there with relationships ..my ex wouldnt recognise me ..makeup n wigs ..well done helen be proud
What a stunning performance. Helen has grown week on week. Well done Gorka for the brilliant routine. â€â€
They should have won the glitter ball. When she started she couldn't dance, that dance to Mein Herr was brilliant! From nothing to the dance was nothing short of a miracle. Well done Gorka!
This for me was the dance of 2022 absolutely brilliant.
WOW. No words! 10/10 đđđ
Helen looked amazing, and what a wonderful routine and choice of song - a great revenge dance. (Iâm a huge fan of Fosse.)
Would love to see Helen do this dance again in the finalâŠ..
This was definitely a FU to the ex-husband. 1.11 middle finger. Brilliant!
There has been some great couples choice on the show over the years. fantastic
Helen, you are simply marvellous. This was ridiculously good, a MOMENT!
I wish a couple on DANCING WITH THE STARS would use âMEIN HERRâ. Great song to dance to.
Brilliant. This is why I watch Strictly. For these stand out moments.
For me the best dance of the series. So much to admire from it. Superb.
She DID THAT and I hope she wins
That was so amazing that I stood up and clapped on my own!!! You go girl! Routing for you â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Dance of the series! Helen & Gorka are my winners. Helen has blossomed & after the year sheâs had itâs so lovely to see the transformation in her x
Absolutely pheonomal Helen . confident powerful strong lady you are you are taking control of you your life and your children's future.
Wow! You donât need to know a lot about dancing to realise that this performance was fabulous.
Robbed of a 40 best dance of the series by along way ..Such a technically hard routine and she smashed it..
