Helen’s quarter-final performance voted as favourite by Strictly fans - do you agree?

The Strictly Come Dancing stars whirled their way into the quarter-finals last weekend, where they performed incredible routines inspired by some of the best-loved musicals - but which one was your favourite?

Actor Kym Marsh and her pro partner Graziano Di Prima became the tenth couple to exit the BBC show after landing in the dreaded dance-off against Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu.

The losing pair found themselves at the bottom of the leader board after their energetic Eighties-style Cha Cha to Fame, which received just 34 points from the judges.

Fans appeared to agree with this decision, as the dancing duo finished the weekend at the bottom of our leader board, securing an average score of 7.21.

Every week we’re giving readers the chance to score the dancers and let us know whether they thought Craig was bang out of order, or if it really was too early for that 10 from Shirley.

Following Friday night’s display, viewers placed Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez at the top of the leader board with an impressive score of 8.89.

The Blue Peter star was also a hit with the judges as she took to the stage to perform a Couple’s Choice to Mein Herr from Cabaret, scooping an almost perfect 39 points.
