Helen Skelton has been installed as the new favourite to win Strictly Come Dancing, before the new series has even started and after she sparked 'fix' claims over her past dance experience.
Fresh from her high profile split from rugby player other half Richie Myler, Helen was hotly tipped to be taking part in the latest run of the BBC institution, with Carol Vorderman 'confirming' her place in the line up with an unfortunate social media comment which hinted she already knew Helen was doing the show.
Strictly bosses kept viewers guessing if the rumours were true right to the eleventh hour, with the ex Blue Peter host the final celeb to be announced as a contestant for 2022. Almost as soon as her name appeared on the Strictly line-up, Helen found herself at the centre of fix accusations, after it came to light that she'd won a tap dancing competition as a youngster.
