Helen Skelton's four-word warning to Strictly Come Dancing contestants as show reaches final weeks
EXCLUSIVE: Helen Skelton has issued a warning to this year's Strictly Come Dancing Stars following her stint on the show, advising them to 'lean into every second' before it ends.
Helen’s list of achievements includes a tightrope walk over Battersea Power Station for Comic Relief in 2011 and an ultramarathon in Namibia in 2009, where she was one of only 15 competitors to finish and became the second woman ever to complete the 78-mile event. When she’s not taking her children up “a couple of Wainrights” on a rainy Monday, Helen says their life at home in Cumbria is “wonderful chaos” – full of the usual school clubs, play dates and football matches. Helen has stayed in touch with many of the other dancers from her series and now counts Gorka, Sara Davies, Fleur East, Molly Rainford and Tyler West as good friends.
