BBC Strictly Come Dancing warned about 'wild' Helen Skelton as she accidentally 'reveals' partner

A co-star of Helen Skelton has issued a warning to the BBC about the 'wild' star after she was announced for Strictly Come Dancing. The Countryfile presenter was the 15th and final famous face confirmed for the dance contest with the 2022 series line-up now complete.

She joins a host of stars including former Coronation Street star Kym Marsh, 80s music star Matt Goss and Paralympian Ellie Simmonds who will be taking to the dancefloor for the 20th series of the hot show when it returns this autumn. Helen's latest gig comes months after she confirmed her split from husband Richie Myler.

In a statement about taking part in the show after revealing the big news to Claudia Winkleman on her BBC Radio 2 show on Saturday (August 13), Helen said: "I’m really excited to get stuck into a fun adventure. My family and friends have always loved the show and can’t wait for me to get started."
