Strictly Come Dancing's Helen Skelton has opened up about how the BBC show has helped her following her marriage split. Whilst the 39-year-old former Blue Peter presenter narrowly missed out on lifting the Glitterball, she has now said that Strictly saw her through "dark days" foolowing her break up from Richie Myler.
Speaking to Ranvir Singh on ITV's Lorraine, Helen said: "If I could bottle that atmosphere from Saturday (December 17), it'll see me through any dark days. It was just the most wonderful feeling. It just goes to show what happens when you surround yourself with good people."
She added: "Look I just wanted to make my kids proud. So we didn't quite bring home that trophy but we made memories that will last a lifetime." It was Hamza Yassin and dance partner Jowita Przystal who were crowned this year's winners after impressing both judges and viewers over the course of the series.
