TV presenter Helen Skelton has revealed why now was the perfect time for her to join Strictly Come Dancing.
The 39-year-old Countryfile star was confirmed as part of this year's lineup last month alongside Paralympian Ellie Simmonds and Loose Women's Kaye Adams. Helen said at the time that she was "really excited" to take part and to "get stuck into a fun adventure".
Speaking on Lorraine this morning, September 7, the mum-of-three said she initially had her reservations about joining the popular BBC show due to other commitments and raising her kids. However, her friends convinced her to sign up.
