Strictly's Helen Skelton banned from dancing on new farming show

Despite tearing up the dance floor on Strictly Come Dancing with her professional partner Gorka Marquez, Helen Skelton has been banned from dancing on her farming show, Winter on the Farm, which started last night, December 5, on Channel 5 with the star, who's now in the home straight of the competition, saying the BBC would get their 'knickers in a twist' if she did any moves in the wild.

While on her new series, Helen was asked about her dancing by co-host Jules Hudson, who 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?"

Claiming that if she "even thinks about dancing the BBC will get their knickers in a twist" Helen said she would not be dancing in the show. She said: "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."
