The comments section was quickly flooded with love and support for Helen, who is a firm favourite to win the BBC competition, from celebrity pals and viewers at home alike.
Ginny Buckley commented: "Go girl, we’re #TeamHelen all the way!", Nicki Chappers added: "Well done Helen! You are amazing" while Tanya Bardsley penned: "Amazing, we are all routing for you" and Caz Demoraes said: "Absolute Blonde Bombshell, love watching you each week!"
Saturday night will be Helen's first live performance since the news of her estranged husband, Richie Myler's, new baby with his now girlfriend broke.
The former Leeds Rhinos rugby player, 32, broke up with ex-Blue Peter presenter Helen just four months after she gave birth to their third child, back in April. Richie's friends have said he's "thrilled" to be expecting with Stephanie as their romance continues.
Helen, 39, is said to be keeping 'cordial relations' with her ex as she takes part in Strictly Come Dancing. She learned the news before the couple announced it on Instagram.
Richie's friend told The Sun : “The timing of the pregnancy may raise a few eyebrows though. It is obviously such a huge step, and one made remarkably quickly off the back of Helen and Richie’s eight-year marriage ending."
Strictly Come Dancing returns to BBC1 on Saturday, October 15.
