Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton has been having secret phone calls with Dan Walker to boost her chances of winning the competition. Former BBC Breakfast presenter Dan, who took part in Strictly's 2021 series, finished in fifth place alongside his partner Nadiya Bychkova.
Despite wowing the judges and audience on numerous occasions, the 45-year-old wishes he allowed himself to "enjoy it more" and doesn't want Helen to make the same mistake. He told The Star : "I know Helen Skelton really well and I've been talking to her quite a bit and I think he's been fantastic and I told her she's going to be there for quite some time.
