Helen Skelton has shared a glimpse into her summer break ahead of taking to the ballroom this autumn The Countryfile star showed off her toned and tanned body as she donned a swimsuit during a trip to the Lake District on Monday (August 30).
The 39-year-old took to her Instagram account to share an image of herself in the black one-piece, which featured an open back, with her blonde locks tied back into a relaxed pony as she looked on across the water and her kids took part in a paddle-boarding session.
Helen, who was recently confirmed as one of the celebrities taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing, captioned the post: "Just like that the eldest two are old enough to pinch my board…. Life jackets and eyes on at all times."
And the compliments were soon coming in for the mum-of-three. Fleur East, who Helen is set to face on the dancefloor, wrote: " DAMMMNNNN," alongside a flurry of flame emojis. Dancer Kaea Pearce also commented: "MILFFFF!!! stunning Helen."

Earlier this month Helen has shared that she has started rehearsals for Strictly in a candid glimpse into her new life as a single mum. Helen announced her split from her husband of nine years, Richie Myler, back in April. It came not long after welcoming their third child together.
"Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple," Helen wrote on social media. "He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children." The emotional message was accompanied with two broken heart emojis. The couple share daughter, Elsie Kate, born in December, and young sons Ernie and Louis.
After returning home from a rehearsal for the hit BBC One show, Helen took to her Instagram Story to share a story about what happened. It started with her eight-month-old daughter causing a little bit of a mess. Filming her little girl while also showing her top covered in a suspicious stain, Helen said: "A proud poonami face."
She then explained laughing: "Yes, that's poo all over my silk camisole." Realising what she said she then joked that she sounded like a 'lady from the forties'. The mum-of-three then returned to her page to share another clip, revealing that the confetti she brought home from Strictly to celebrate has stained her floor.
Helen is among the 15 famous faces who will be dancing it out for the Glitterball trophy when Strictly returns next month. She joins the likes of actress Kym Marsh, Paralympian Ellie Simmonds, BBC Radio 2's Richie Anderson, Bros legend Matt Goss, and EastEnders star James Bye who will also be putting on their dancing shoes.
