I really like her. She comes across as sweet, intelligent and hard-working.

I find it funny how anyone who isn't brash is labelled as "bland" but then the more enthusiastic personalities like Kellie are considered irritating.

People are going to moan whatever the circumstances xD

Really like her, her Latin makes me nervous, but she's a classy, beautiful lady.

helen is very interesting dancer, one of those people who so obviously isn't perfect yet can be absolutely mesmerising - has a quality of inhabiting the personality of the dance in her physical body that makes her very watchable to the extent that i haven't noticed the lack of expression on her face that some see.

I'm bothered that neither she nor Peter have got over the ingrained dance habits they entered the series with. Helen wants to be upright and Peter wants to pop and jerk all the time.
I know it may not seem there is enough time to set aside to work on their basic form, but really someone has to take it in hand because it's going to do them in.

I like her a lot. She has a good attention to detail and technique. That said, there is a certain earthiness missing and she didn't dance with a lot of connection to Aljaz, but I think that may be down to Aljaz since his partnership with Abbey had the same problems.

I actually agree with Cravenhaven that there are some ingrained habits in both her and Peter, and maybe they each haven't got the right sort of partner to address these (both have partners a bit like themselves in approach), although, having said that, I do think Aljaz is one of the best of the professionals.

Yep, that pretty much sums her up.

Feel as though I should like/rate her better than I do-but I don't.

I don't like her as much as thought either as a dancer or personality. I liked her salsa though because it was funny and she was messy.

Can't warm to her at all. Even her keen, cheery manner smacks of 'theatre and insincerity'. Mind you don't get me started on Mrs 'stage school jazz hands screechy' Kellie.

There seems to be a smear campaign on Helen, not sure why, a national newspaper last weekend reported incorrect things, Aliash had to public ally rebut them, I think as she is doing well, some want to knock her down.

I think some have had their minds influenced by the tabloid press.

I don't watch Call the Midwife, so hadn't heard of her before the show, but I just can't warm to her. Reminds me a bit of a Barbie doll, and I expect her to be one of the contestants I immediately forget once she leaves.

I did want to send her some syrup of figs after watching her dance to Dr Beat though - those facial expressions looked like she was in some discomfort.

Really like her! Great quickstep this week - really enjoyed it. And I like her jolly hockeysticks head girl persona. She seems like the kind of person who just gets on and does it without complaint.

Good solid dancer but a slightly simpering style in interviews. However, I will give her plus points for not dragging out the family members and sob-stories (yet).

Personally she seems to come across as...maybe...a bit of a cold fish?

As someone put above - a bit bland.

But, as a dancer and performer she really is very good. I feel like she acts her way through the dances - maybe that's why people have a problem connecting to her - because there is not much, or any, of 'her' in the dancing.

Regardless, she is a very good dancer/performer.

I'm enjoying her routines with the divine Aljaz. As with many ak-tors she is always 'on' and reveals little of herself so I choose to imagine her as the one with the over-sized eyes in Lady Gaga's bad romance vid.:

It's her petrified face that is causing me problems with liking her. I can see that her ballroom is good but she looks dead behind the eyes when dancing.

Some extremely flattering person said Frankie had 'dead eyes' last year. Its like 2014 revisited.

As for my view on Helen. She should never have gone to Troy. Simple as that.

I like her. It does help that she's partnered with my favourite pro, but I think she's sweet, hard-working and genuinely enjoying it and I don't see any of the insincerity or fakeness that others have commented on.
