Fans were quick to complain
The crowning of this year's Strictly Come Dancing champion has gone down well among all viewers. BBC Star Helen Skelton did not quite do enough to walk away with the Glitterball trophy along with partner Gorka Marquez.
But fans of the show were left in agreement after the couple's first performance - the judges should have picked a different dance. Helen and Gorka were second favourites on Saturday night, December 17, behind frontrunners Hamza and Jowita. One of Helen and Gorka's highlights on the show was their Quickstep to Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse's Valerie, which scored them a near-perfect 39 out of 40, The Chronicle reports. When it was announced the judges would choose a dance for each couple to open the final with, it seemed likely that it would be the Quickstep.
Echoing the same sentiments, another tweeted: "It's a shame that the best quickstep ever didn't get a perfect score. I would have preferred it in the final instead of the couples choice, which was good, but not as memorable as the quickstep." And, expressing the same opinion, a third reacted: "I would have loved to see Helen and Gorka’s Blackpool quickstep again."
