BBC Strictly Come Dancing's Helen Skelton say she's 'trying to be sexy' as she shows sore feet in training

Helen Skelton has said she is 'trying to be sexy' while showing off her blistered feet on social media. The Countryfile host is currently in training for week two of Strictly Come Dancing which will be on screens this coming Saturday.

The hit BBC One dance contest returned last weekend with a double helping thanks to the launch show being moved to Friday, September 23, the day before the competition officially began. And Helen and Gorka Marquez were among the 15 famous faces and professional partners to start their Strictly journey as the show burst back onto screens for its 20th series.

And the new dancing couple got off to a strong start with their debut performance, an American Smooth to Aretha Franklin's You Send Me, which saw them awarded a score of 26 by the judges - Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke.
