Helen Skelton is well known for her five and a half year stint on Blue Peter where she set two Guinness World Records.
But many may not know she once made an appearance on one of ITV’s hit soaps Coronation Street. The Countryfile star's dabble into the world of showbiz came while she was studying for a degree in journalism from the Cumbria Institute of the Arts.
Helen found the opportunity to work as an extra on Coronation Street while she was working as a waitress, barmaid and in a shop to fund her studies, The Mirror reports.
