Helen Skelton has laughed off claims her past dance experience give her an advantage as she prepared to take part in Strictly Come Dancing. The Countryfile host is among the 15 celebrities who have signed up for the BBC One dance contest's 2022 series which starts next Sunday (September 17).
She joins the likes of Corrie stars Kym Marsh and Will Mellor, EastEnders actor James Bye, 80s singing icon Matt Goss and Paralympic champion Ellie Simmonds in the line-up for the hit show. Last month, Helen said that she 'can't dance' despite it being revealed Helen won a dance competition when she was a teenager.
In an interview in 2016, Helen was asked in an interview to reveal a secret about herself. She told The Sun on Sunday: “I won a Ken Dodd tap-dance award when I was 17. Not a lot of people know this, but I’m very good at tap dancing. People are often amazed I can tap dance."
