Strictly Gorka Marquez left 'fuming' for 'robbed' Helen Skelton after Hamza Yassin win

Strictly Come Dancing’s Hamza Yassin and his professional partner, Jowita Przystal were crowned winners of the BBC dance show.

The wildlife cameraman walked away with the legendary glitterball after weeks of impressing not only the viewers but judges at home.

Before the winner was crowned all four finalists had to perform a total of three routines during the final. The categories are judges' picks, the couple's personal favourite, and a show dance.

During Helen’s second performance of the night, which was to Shine by Emeli Sandé for their show dance, she broke down in tears after Gorka told her: “I am so proud of you and you will leave here a happier person.”

Meanwhile Hamza impressed the judges throughout the show however he made some mistakes, which led to judges labelling the dance 'underwhelming' and 'rocky'.

Despite the slight mistake he still ended up winning the BBC show but viewers at home claim bookies' second-favourite couple Helen and Gorka were “robbed”.

And viewers were also quick to spot Gorka’s face as they insist he “doesn’t look happy.” @Grumparooz Tweeted: “Gorka doesn’t look happy or was it me #StrictlyComeDancing.”

@_megsconnolly commented: “Gorka had such a face on him #strictly.” @Charlie017463 wrote: “Must admit I'm absolutely devastated for Helen and Gorka. You could see how gutted he was.”

@Noelle___G said: “I thought Helen and Gorka had it. By his face I think Gorka thought so too. They have been amazing and would have been deserving winners. #Strictly.”

@LongTiredRoad commented: “Bloody hell Gorka, crack a smile! #SourGrapes.” @DrrewRya admitted: “The majority of the cast going over to Helen and Gorka at the end was awkward as hell.”

@GoziOkolo said: “Oh my days, #Gorka was FUMING! Well done #Hamza Great final with some fantastic dances.”

While @Heather_1705 added: “Helen and Gorka were ROBBED. Absolute joke when their phone lines weren’t working. Well done @HelenSkelton @gorkamarquez1 you were absolutely incredible x #Strictly.”
