Helen Skelton told 'you're not on Strictly now' as fans make same holiday observation

Helen Skelton told 'you're not on Strictly now' as fans make same holiday observation

Helen Skelton had fans pointing out the same thing as she posted a snap from the beach. At the end of last month, the former Blue Peter presenter headed on a fun 'adult-only' trip to Ibiza.

Helen, 39, was celebrating early as she prepares for a 'big birthday' later this month. The Countryfile and On The Farm star was seen soaking up some kid-free time as she ditched the UK and headed for the White Island where she appeared to be enjoying soaking up the sun at a 5-star all-inclusive resort.

Mum-of-three Helen, who won the hearts of the nation when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing last year where she made it to the final with dancer Gorka Marquez, revealed at the time that she was staying at the TRS Ibiza Hotel, which is described as an adults-only, luxury hotel located right on the beach in San Antonio.

Helen posted some snaps and videos from her getaway as she confirmed she'd headed away with some of her friends. The TV favourite appeared to be having the time of her life in the stunning hotel which boasted an infinity pool that Helen was seen taking a dip in whilst sporting a vibrant yellow swimsuit amid the idyllic views.

She was also seen laughing and enjoying the time alone she had with her gal pals as they headed out to see what the area's nightlife had to offer. "Short. Sharp. Special," Helen typed alongside the video set to the Sigala track, Feels This Good. "Thanks for the reboot ladies and thanks for having us @trsibizahotel @onthebeachholidays," she added.

Helen has since shared another photo from her trip, showing her walking down the sandy beach. She looked Ibiza-ready as she sported a beige top ticked into a pair of black denim shorts. Over the top, she donned a silver sparkly cover-up that wouldn't be out of place in one of the many beach clubs.

However, it was Helen's footwear that caught her social media followers' attention as she matched her glistening cover-up with a pair of silver heels. @royrogers1612 joked: "Heels in [the] sand? You're not on strictly now." @michael.eames commented: "Wrong shoes for the beach."

@david.calton.55 replied: "Don't think you will get very far on the sand in those shoes." @ceridwen007snow posted: "Helen, your heels sweetie, those heels are going to get ruined!!" But @phil_afc8 added: "Wear what ever shoes you think are best for you."

It comes after Helen's fans and followers appeared delighted that Helen had a great time away with her friends as they shared supportive comments. @marys_32summers said: "Looks fab…as do you HS! Enjoy these moments with special people!" @lauradunn366 replied: "Looks amazing, what a place to recharge your batteries & celebrate your birthday."

@jen_norr wrote: "Looks amazing and so do you." @lindysheridan19 commented: "Looks fabulous!
