Helen Skelton stuns in bikini as she twins with one-year-old daughter on holiday and says 'what could go wrong'

Helen Skelton couldn't have looked happier as she slipped into a bikini and basked in the winter sun as she took a well-deserved break after her Strictly Come Dancing antics. The Countryfile presenter made it all the way to the final of the BBC One dance contest in December alongside professional dancer Gorka Marquez.

The pair pulled out all the stops for the final on December 17 including a repeat of their simply iconic routine to Mein Herr in Carberet. But despite an outcry of 'robbed' from viewers, Helen, 39, and Gorka, 32, emerged without the Strictly 2022 champions title and the coveted sparkling trophy to eventual winners Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal.

However, it clearly didn't phase Helen as she put her dancing shoes back on and joined Hamza and Jowita and their fellow Strictly finalists Molly Rainford, Carlos Gu, Fleur East and Vito Coppola on the Strictly Live 2023 which kicked off in January and spanned more than 30 shows in arenas across the country.

They were also joined by Will Mellor, Nancy Xu, Tyler West, Dianne Buswell, Ellie Simmonds and Nikita Kuzmin as well as some of the show's professional dancers, judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, and Anton Du Beke as well as former pro Janette Manrara who acted as host.

And while Helen and Gorka didn't get their winning moment, a beaming Helen did get her hands on a Glitterball trophy alongside her new dance partner Kai Widdrington after Spanish-born Gorka chose not to take part in the arena tour in order to spend some time with his family - fiancee Gemma Atkinson and their daughter Mia - ahead of his own headline tour
