Strictly's Helen Skelton 'stranded' in electric car at night after reuniting with dance partner Gorka Márquez

Strictly alumni Helen Skelton experienced a travel mishap this week after getting stranded in her electric car.

The Countryfile and Blue Peter presenter had been on her way home from meeting fellow Strictly star Gorka Márquez when her car gave up on her. Helen, slightly frustrated, took to Instagram to share her pain and to ask for advice.

Sitting in darkness, the 39-year-old shared a clip with the caption: "I thought electric cars were the future," followed by mind-blown and angry emojis. Helen admitted this was not the first time this had happened to her as she recalled owning an "impractical" Nissan Leaf more than 10 years ago, the Mirror reports.
