She won hearts while tearing up the dancefloor on last year's Strictly, and now Helen Skelton is reportedly being lined up to present spin-off show It Takes Two. The Countryfile and Springtime on the Farm star, who made it to the Strictly Come Dancing finals with Gorka Marquez is said to have held talks with bosses about hosting the popular spin-off backstage gossip and chat show on BBC Two.
It is understood conversations originally centred on a temporary role filling in for Strictly favourite Janette Manrara, who is expecting her first child with fellow pro dancer hubby Aljaž Škorjanec, reports The Mirror. But after Janette’s co-host Rylan Clark announced last week that he was quitting, sources say bosses reckon former Blue Peter presenter Helen, 39, can fill his sparkly shoes.
One said: “Not only is Helen a very experienced and popular presenter, she captured Strictly fans last year with her warmth and charisma. She was also a hit with the team, from the top bosses to the make-up teams, production and the crew.
