Helen Skelton has been flooded with compliments after she shared some fresh snaps from her holiday. The Strictly Come Dancing finalist was showered with support last week when she shared some photos from her trip away with her three children - Ernie, seven, Louis, five and one-year-old daughter, Elsie.
She first took to Instagram on Thursday (February 23) after ditching the UK which she captioned: "Pool days," with the first image showing Helen in a blue gingham-style bikini as she held onto Elsie in a similar blue bathing suit.
"Grateful for this time. Grateful for this gang. Brought my tribe away to meet up with the fam on their hols … three adults nine kids what could go wrong … these are the days," the former Blue Peter host went on before adding: "Can’t thank @thbhotels @onthebeachholidays enough … I have booked through them and stayed here a few times before so feeling very lucky that me and my three are back as their guests."
And fans were quick to shower the post with support for Helen, saying she deserved the break after putting her all into Strictly for months, alongside professional dancer Gorka Marquez, at the end of last year while also being a single mum to her children following her split from rugby star Richie Myler last April.
But Helen has since returned to Instagram as she delved back into her digital photo album as she basks in the winter sunshine during a half-term holiday to Lanzarote. Sharing a string of snaps from the fun-filled trip, the former Blue Peter host wrote: "Never understood why people kept going back to the same place on holidays then I had children and I got it … we know where the park, the good pasta and the best beach is," before adding a love heart emoji.
In the first snap, Helen could be seen kneeling in the sand as she beamed alongside Louis. The TV star looked amazing as she showed off her washboard abs in a leopard print two-piece bikini. And later in the string of images, the 39-year-old could be seen doing her best 'Bond girl' walk as she exited the sea.
There were also images of Helen sporting a grey vest and denim shorts as she smiled for a group photo with her young children before showing them with other young members of their holiday party.
But fans were quick to compliment Helen on her laid-back beach look. Former Bake Off winner Candice Brown said: "You look bloody gorgeous." Telly presenter Natalia Pinkham replied: "YOUR BOD [fire emoji]. Gorgeous pics." Meanwhile, fellow Strictly star Nikita Kumzin and Hollyoaks actress Nikki Sanderson were among those sending hearts and love heart eye emojis in the comments.
