TV presenter and Strictly Come Dancing star, Helen Skelton, has been issued a ban. The BBC slapped a no-dance restriction on the Strictly finalist and that means no dancing on her new TV show Winter on the Farm.
She said: "If I even think about dancing the BBC will get their knickers in a twist. It will set off a Strictly alarm."
Helen appears with Jules Hudson on the My5 show, Winter on the Farm - the pair are live from Cannon Hall Farm, near Barnsley, South Yorkshire. On the programme, Helen said she wouldn't be dancing on the show, according to a report for Birmingham Live.

Co-host Jules said: "The huge elephant-sized glitterball in the room, you getting to the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing! What about that! What a journey you have been on, surely we're going to see some moves tonight?"
Helen replied: "I've been having so much fun and I'm really grateful for all of the support. But I can't show you a move. If I even think about dancing the BBC will get their knickers in a twist. It will set off a Strictly alarm. Craig Revel Horwood will rush in here and wrestle me to the ground."
Helen also appeared on Strictly spin-off show, BBC's Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. Talking to Rylan Clark via video link from the farm, she sat alongside dance partner Gorka Marquez.
Rylan began: "So lovely to see you guys." He then warned viewers: "Now before we chat we should let viewers at home know as well that because of some technical issues there is a three-second delay so wish us luck – this is television!"
After a pause, Helen then responded: "There are cows and bulls that could break free at any second! The three-second delay is the least of our problems." He explained: "Now, sadly, Helen and Gorka can't be here with us in the studio. Helen is away filming on a farm somewhere - that's right guys, she has a job! - but unfortunately, they can't be here in person. But virtually, give it up for Helen and Gorka."
Live Winter on the Farm airs nightly at 8pm from December 5 until December 8 on Channel 5.
