Speaking to the Mirror, Helen opened up about juggling the show with being a mum to her three children.

She said: “People keep saying, ‘You’ve got kids, how are you going to juggle it?’

“Most mums go to work and any mum who gets a chance to go to work and have their make-up done, their tea made and they learn something fun, that’s a gift, isn’t it? That’s why I wanted to do it.”

Helen then revealed her fear.

She added: “I can’t dance and I feel sick when I hear the theme tune.”

At the weekend, Strictly announced that Helen would be doing the show.

A post on the show’s official Twitter page read: “Blue Peter, Countryfile and now… the #Strictly dance floor! Helen Skelton is ready to reach for the Glitterball.”

Meanwhile, in a statement, Helen said: “I’m really excited to get stuck into a fun adventure.”
