STRICTLY Come Dancing finalist Helen Skelton has raised eyebrows after liking a tweet criticising Hamza Yassin.
The TV personality has ruffled feathers after making her opinions clear on Twitter about who was the rightful Strictly winner – and it wasn’t her fellow presenter Hamza Yassin.

Helen, 39, and her professional dance partner Gorka Marquez, Musician and radio presenter Fleur East and CBBC presenter Molly Rainford, were all pipped to the post by Hamza, 32, alongside his partner Jowita Przystal as they took the top spot.
Dissatisfied with the verdict, Helen took to social media to like former Strictly pro dancer Robin Windsor’s tweet, which read: “”Based on tonight fleur and Vito should take home that mirror ball.”
The tweet has now received 1,251 likes with fans also agreeing Fleur and her partner Vito Coppola were more deserving of the title.
Despite being a firm favourite throughout the show, Hamza has received backlash from viewers since swiping the crown, with one fan stating: “What a fix! Hamza was the worst of the night #Strictly.”
In wake of the criticism, Robin tweeted his congratulations to Hamza and Jowita, writing: “tbh all deserving winners for different reasons.”
Hamza took home the Strictly trophy even after his showdance received the lowest score of the evening, 34, by winning over the judges with his couple’s choice performance, which received 40 out of 40 points from the judges.
Since appearing on the show, Helen has wowed viewers and gained increasing popularity, putting her in the sights of BBC bosses.
A source told The Celeb Report: “[BBC] bosses want to make her the channel’s new ‘golden girl’.
“She is being lined up for guest presenting slots on the BBC’s The One Show and Morning Live.”
They added: “Another option is her own show, a very outdoorsy action series.”
The Celeb Report also revealed last month that Hamza is bagging his own show due to his huge popularity and could even be the next David Attenborough.
A source close to Hamza stated: “Some of the bosses at the BBC knew that when Hamza was revealed in the Strictly line up, few of the show’s loyal viewers would know who he was but they just knew he would end the series the most loved of all of the contestants.
“Getting him on the show was key to their end game, which is making him into another David Attenborough.”
