Helen Skelton shared how she was 'racing home' after the first shows of the Strictly Come Dancing Live tour. The former Blue Peter host is currently performing in arenas alongside several of her fellow 2022 alumni as the hit BBC show visits arenas up and down the country.
The 39-year-old will be performing to thousands of people across the string of shows after making it to the final of the dance contest last month. Helen was within touching distance of lifting the Glitterball trophy alongside professional dance partner Gorka Marquez but the pair missed out to Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal.
But for Helen, the Strictly journey is continuing as she signed up for the show's big live tour, hosted by It Takes Two presenter Janette Manrara. However, she is doing it without Spanish dancer Gorka, 32, who is spending time with his family, which is set to expand later this year after he and Gemma Atkinson announced she was pregnant and that they are expecting a baby boy.
