Helen Skelton lets her hair down as she joins TV friend at Beyoncé concert

Helen Skelton swapped TV presenting and mum duties to "dust off her dancing shoes" this week.

The 39-year-old former Blue Peter star headed to Sunderland on Tuesday night (May 23) to see Beyoncé on her Renaissance tour. The mum-of-three went back to her era of glitter and sparkles - much like during her time on Strictly Come Dancing - as she dressed up in sequin silver pants and had her face painted with glitter.

Helen watched Queen B with Steph's Packed Lunch star Steph McGovern. The pair were seen smiling as they enjoyed drinks and dancing with a group of their friends.

Helen, who reached the Strictly final in December, uploaded two photos from her night at the Renaissance tour to her Instagram grid on Wednesday and wrote: "Dusted off the dancing shoes. @stephlunch. Thank you @beyonce."

Helen's ever growing number of followers were quick to respond to the post, with one asking: "WHERE for the love of all things shiny did you get those stunning trousers??!!! Equally enamoured with Helen's choice out outfit, a second commented: "Bringing the sparkle wherever she goes."

@stuartrichardmoye.bert said: "You look absolutely sensational as always Helen.! @paulamatchsticks added: "You look amazing."

They added: "Love the trousers. Looks like you had a fabulous time, so lovely to see you so happy and enjoying life."

Her celebs pals were quick to react too, with Morning Live colleague Sam Qwek writing: "Not jealous one bit, like not even a tiny bit." British Bake Off star Candice Brown said: "Gorgeous girls."

Meanwhile Steph said: "Beyoncé concert in Sunderland with my mates - it was SENSATIONAL."
