Helen and her pro-partner Gorka Marquez had pulled out all the stops during their three routines, and scored their first and only perfect 40 for their final dance, a repeat of their sexy Couple’s Choice routine.
However, it wasn’t enough to win and Gorka was seen looking stony faced in the moments after Hamza and his pro-partner Jowita’s names were called.
While Helen had smiled and congratulated her fellow celeb, she couldn’t help but look downcast as she left her hotel on Sunday alongside the other Strictly stars.
Wearing a black polo neck and black coat, Helen failed to crack a smile as she headed to her waiting car.
Gorka, 32, was also seen leaving the hotel with his fiancee Gemma Atkinson, who had been in the audience supporting the couple.
It was Gorka’s third time in the final, and after he missed out on winning once again, Strictly fans couldn’t help but comment on his disappointed reaction.
Taking to Twitter, one eagle-eyed Strictly fan wrote: “gorka is p***ed and rightfully so #Strictly.”
Another added: “Gorka can’t hide his feelings at all 
… I feel you hun #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing.”
A third tweeted: “gorka looks like he’s about to whack someone 
how about celebrating your friends?! #Strictly.”
Meanwhile a fourth shared: “Poor Gorka absolutely can’t hide his disappointment. His face.”
Gorka had previously made it to the final in series 15 with Alexandra Burke and again in series 18 with Maisie Smith.
