She went on to say: "If I could bottle that atmosphere from Saturday, it'll see me through any dark days. It was just the most wonderful feeling. It just goes to show what happens when you surround yourself with good people."
Elsewhere in the interview, Helen heaped praise on her professional dance partner, Gorka Marquez. She gushed: "I am so grateful to that man, he is a credit to that show and a credit to his family. That show pushes all the buttons. It's so emotional.
"He never made me say things I didn't want to. He never made me pull the thread that would have made me unravel."

Helen's time on Strictly comes after the TV star split from rugby player Richie back in April, just weeks after welcoming baby Elsie. The couple had been married for nine years and also share sons Ernie, seven, and Louis, five.
Richie is now expecting his fourth child with girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill, 32. The smitten couple went Instagram official after they attended Wimbledon together in July. According to news outlets, the duo's relationship first came to light in May, days after Richie and Helen announced that their marriage was over.
