Why Helen Skelton quit Blue Peter, took dog with her and was forced off Twitter

Helen Skelton landed the role of a lifetime when she was just 25-years-old.

Having worked as a reporter for children's news shows Newsround and Sportsround, Helen became a presenter on Blue Peter.

Helen replaced the departing Zoe Salmon and became the 33rd permanent host of the much-loved children's TV show back in August 2008.
