In a video recording, the adorable boys wished their mum and pro-partner Gorka Marquez good luck before their final dance of the series.

It immediately left Strictly viewers at home emotional, with one writing on Twitter: “helen’s kids has me crying #strictly.”

One Strictly fan wrote: “Helen’s dad crying has set me off.”

Others posted: “Oh my god Helen’s dad ??” and: “Helen just brilliant. And her poor old dad was crying.”
