Strictly star Helen Skelton has shared that she is "grateful" for her family, as she shared a series of sweet snaps showing them in 'team Helen' t-shirts. Her family have been "holding parties" for the live shows, which has put a smile on Helen 's face.
The Countryfile presenter had previously taken to Instagram to thank fans for getting her and Gorka through to week three of the competition, but this time it is her large family that she was thanking. Posting the cute pictures to her page, she captioned it: "Family." Followed by two heart emojis.
In the post, Helen added: "Because at the end of the day if you walk over the threshold and they’re happy….. you’re happy. Grateful for my gang holding parties for the live shows… because it means my kids don’t want me to be knocked out as they get Saturday nights fuelled on Coca Cola and cousin love. Grateful. [two heart eye emojis] #family #mygang #strictly #home #mygang #mybabies".
