Anyone else rooting for Helen Skelton to win strictly?

[bettyfretty]

Ive just been reading how her ex husband and new partner are expecting a baby.....after leaving her less than a year ago.

I can't even imagine what she must be feeling however a 'source' said they wouldn't expect Helen to be too bothered because they have both moved on with their lives.

How the hell can you move on so quickly? She was pregnant with his child this time last year and they have a baby less than a year old! If I was Helen, I would be absolutely devastated.

I wouldn't usually post things like this but I feel for Helen so much - I want her to win strictly!

Unless I am completely wrong and she doesn't give a f**k - if that's the case then all credit to her!

These shows are always a popularity contest, no one votes for the best dancer it’s always someone they are rooting for.

The husband seems as dumb as a rock and the new woman is just a spoilt Princess whose family will pick up the tab for the new baby, so she has no worries there. I don’t suppose she has ever felt a moment’s guilt over Helen.

Her family come across as hugely insensitive, entitled dicks, enabling a pair of vain, selfish kids.

I wouldn’t be cuddling up for family photos if my daughter did this.

Please don’t throw him back. Unless it’s in the Irish Sea. 😆

Disgusting couple. Hate the narrative that the kids will be fine as long as adults are happy. Bollocks. What a horrible man, woman and family..yuk

Everything you've said is correct. Whilst it's clear what his motivation is, I can't for the life of me imagine what Thirkill sees in Myler.

I hope, though I think it'll be Hamza, that she wins not because of her awful ex but in spite of, she's better than him and his antics.

The woman he ran off with is selling tons of designer stuff worn once and other things on Instagram. A Gucci nappy bag costing £900. Isn't she going to need it????!!

I mean she's a reasonable dancer but the others left in are too

Anyone who wins should do so because they are the best - not because people feel sorry for her ex getting someone else pregnant after leaving her less than a year ago - that's very sad for her but absolutely nothing to do with the competition

I mean maybe Helen should be focussing on her child rather than strictly at a time like this?!?!

#justsaying

Nobody forced her to go on there

If I’ve understood correctly, the husband left behind the responsibility of his young family to have some fun with his sleazy sidepiece, who promptly accidentally-on-purpose got pregnant. He’s such an idiot! What a mess.

To answer the question, Hamza is my favourite followed by Helen. Purely on entertainment value - I don’t know much about dance. Their private lives don’t make a difference to me but viewers can of course vote for whatever reason they like. I do wish they’d broadcast the result live on
Sat nights though.

I don't understand the appeal of Will or Helen. They're both so dull to watch, for me. I'd be happy for any of the others to win though.

That's rather my point.

Maybe she needs/wants the money and the exposure, because, you know, she has a career she cares about?
Maybe she and her family felt that the Strictly experience and all the learning and fun it involves would be a tonic at a shit time in her life?
Maybe women should stop fucking judging other women for not spending every second focusing on their children?

👏👏👏👏👏

No-one forced the husband to have sex with someone else, he should get the blame. He probably also comes from the school of men who refuse to use condoms.

I love Hamza. Totally think him and Jowita are a couple btw. The chemistry on their Insta stories etc is unreal.

No, I can’t warm to her. I’d like Fleur to win

I bet Richie and his new piece are absolutely HATING that she’s on Strictly and frankly that’s a good enough reason for me 😂

No. She's nakedly ambitious and leaves me cold.

I am rooting for Hamza. Him and Jowita are on fire and I love it!! Having said that I am absolutely delighted for Helen. Good on her..she looked amazing last week. I think she's a genuine person and a very determined one and good on her for her ambition. I live near her and she was obviously going places as a teenager but always nice with it because that's how she is and how her family are..nice, hard working, and determined. I hope good things come her way. What a great example she is setting her kids
