Who is Helen Skelton on BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2022?

The twentieth season of Strictly Come Dancing is launching on Friday (September 23) and will be followed by its first live show on Saturday (September 24). Fifteen celebrities have been perfecting their moves in order to impress the judges - and it will soon be time to put them to the test.

Singers, soap stars and comedians are among the line-up this year and they'll be looking to wow experts Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood with their skill. Meanwhile, presenters Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman will be back to keep the Strictly ship running as smoothly as possible.

The final contestant to be confirmed for the competition was presenter Helen Skelton. The 39-year-old is no stranger to a challenge, having competed in several gruelling sporting events during her career.
