Helen Skelton has revealed the dance she will perform on this week’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The former Blue Peter presenter shared a video ‘rehearsal diary’ from professional dance partner Gorka Marquez’s Instagram page, where the duo confirm they’ve been training to perform a Cha-Cha-Cha this Saturday night.
Wednesday marked the last day of rehearsals for the pair, and Helen said she was feeling nervous ahead of the next show.
She added: “It makes me very nervous, but I think we just have to put ourselves in a positive mindset.”
Gorka said the Cha-Cha-Cha was a fast, fun and stressful dance, but that he felt they had ‘got it’ despite it being difficult for them to nail.
Helen, who was raised in Kirkby Thore, said: “My feet are bleeding but my brain is worse!”
The pair also confirmed they will be filming for Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two today, a companion show that goes behind the scenes and features backstage gossip and drama from the rehearsal rooms.
The duo have been rehearsing in Penrith, with some eagle-eyed fans spotting them leaving sessions together.
