Fans go wild for Helen Skelton’s dress during BBC coverage of the Swimming World Championships

Her stylish look was the talk of Twitter

| Updated:

TV presenter Helen Skelton has sent viewers into a frenzy once again as she wore a particularly slinky dress to present the Swimming World Championships this weekend.

The blonde bombshell has been hosting the action from Budapest all week alongside Rebecca Adlington and Mark Foster.

Team GB were very successful at the champs, winning seven medals, but on Sunday it was Helen and her stunning white dress that was getting all the attention.

The figure-hugging, low-cut number left little to the imagination, with its cowl neckline, sheer panels and thigh-high splits, but there was no doubt she looked absolutely gorgeous.

Helen posted a snap of her on Instagram with her colleagues, showing off her attire in all its glory. She captioned the pic: “Signing off”.

Fans on Twitter were impressed with her look. Many comments were too lewd to print, but some managed to keep it classy, simply telling her how great she looked.

Some, even said she was the only reason to watch the swimming!

Earlier in the week, Helen had covered up a little bit more wearing a black skirt and high-necked blouse.

She posted another pic alongside Rebecca and Mark captioned: “The gang.”

It’s not the first time Helen’s outfits have caused a stir. When presenting coverage of the aquatic events at the Rio Olympics last year, people were in uproar over her hemline.

They felt it was far too short for the BBC, but at the time her father, Richard Skelton, appeared on This Morning to ridicule the story saying: “This is a non-story. I’m surprised it’s made the front pages of the news.

“I thought we’d moved on from this, obviously we haven’t, she’s just out there doing a great job.”

Helen and her rugby player hubby Richie Myler welcomed their second son, Louis, into the world in April.

The couple were already parents to two-year-old Ernie. The gorgeous family live together in France where Richie plays rugby.
