Helen Skelton shares relatable photo from Christmas at home after sultry BBC Strictly performance

Helen Skelton has shared a photo many parents can relate to from Christmas at home after her showstopping Strictly dance on Friday night. The former Blue Peter presenter, 39, wowed viewers with a performance hailed as the 'dance of the series' on the Strictly Come Dancing live show.

The former Blue Peter presenter put on a red hot display on the dancefloor, dancing to Mein Herr from the musical Cabaret for the quarter-final. Head judge Shirley Ballas exclaimed in shock: "Am I looking at a mummy of three?" after she oozed confidence in a black corseted outfit and dark lipstick alongside her supportive pro dancer partner Gorka Marquez.

The Countryfile presenter was asked by Shirley: "Am I looking at a young lady who has grown from a timid, shy girl in week one to this sensual performance? I've got goosebumps."
