One viewer said on Twitter: “I just can’t square Helen getting robbed of 40 considering the only dance that got 40 this year.”

Another wrote: “Wow, wow, wow Helen you have outdone yourself, you deserved 40. Bah humbug Craig! She has overtaken Hamza [Yassin] for my winner.”

A third added: “I’m sorry but if that’s not a 40, what is?!! Helen and Gorka’s dance will be one everyone talks about for years to come! Sensational!”

Someone else tweeted: “What is Craig holding out for?! Helen deserved 40 for that.”

Others took aim at Craig’s score, with one tweeting: “Craig is such a [bleep] sometimes, Helen should have had 40!”

Another wrote: “Craig should’ve scored Helen a 10 for her Quickstep in Blackpool, I can’t BELIEVE he didn’t give her a deserved 40 moment tonight.”

I’m sorry but if that’s not a 40, what is?!! Helen and Gorka’s dance will be one everyone talks about for years to come!

During the feedback, Craig told Helen: “I think you could have used your centre…” before his comments were drowned out by boos from the audience.

Motsi stood up and hugged Craig as he laughed.

What did Craig say to Helen on Strictly?

Gorka then ran over to Craig and poked his bottom out as the audience laughed.

Craig continued: “It is true but in this dance every move is a picture and you achieved that immaculately.

“And I thought, actually, you did one of the most brilliant jobs with Fosse’s stuff that I’ve seen.”

Meanwhile, other viewers couldn’t get over Helen’s appearance as one gushed: “Wow! How hot does Helen look.”

Another added: “Helen that was incred!!!! Plus she looks SO fit I’m obsessed with that whole look.”
