Helen Skelton shares BBC Strictly Come Dancing 'ban' on new Channel 5 show with Craig Revel-Horwood punishment

Helen Skelton jokingly revealed a 'ban' from Strictly Come Dancing as she starred on her new Channel 5 show. The presenter, who is currently competing in the BBC One dance contest alongside Gorka Marquez, ditched the sparkles for her wellies as she hosted Winter of the Farm.

The series returned in its latest guise, following its Spring and Summer editions, with Helen and co-host Jules Hudson reporting live from Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley in South Yorkshire. And 39-year-old Helen's appearance at the helm of the programme was a stark contrast to how Strictly fans saw her last week.

Viewers and judges were blown away as the pair performed a sizzling routine to Mein Herr from the musical Cabaret during the quarter-final. Mum-of-three Helen looked sensational in a black corseted outfit with smokey eye makeup, dark lipstick and with her blonde hair worn slicked back. And Gorka went all out with his attire too, donning his own corseted number with additional smokey make-up.
