'Happy' Helen Skelton distracts with her trousers as she dusts off dancing shoes and makes fans 'jealous'

Helen Skelton was getting flooded with comments on one thing and one thing only as she made her followers 'jealous' with her latest outing. The Countryfile host swapped her wellies for her dancing shoes as she headed to see Beyonce at Sunderland's Stadium of Light.

She enjoyed the American superstar's gig, just a handful taking place in the UK, alongside fellow TV star Steph McGovern. And Helen went all out for the occasion.

Taking to Instagram the morning after the night before on Wednesday (May 24), the mum-of-three, who wowed audiences while taking part in Strictly Come Dancing last year, was beaming for the camera as she appeared to be in a box at the gig with the stage lit up and hoards of people behind her on the stadium floor.

But all eyes were on Helen's attire as she paired a black vest top with an eye-catching pair of sparkling silver trousers. "Dusted off the dancing shoes. @stephlunch. Thank you @beyonce," the 39-year-old former Blue Peter host captioned the post.

Another snap also showed Helen smiling from ear-to-ear alongside Channel 4 star Steph, with both women sporting glitter on their faces as they got into the gig spirit. Former Bake Off winner Candice Brown replied: "Gorgeous girls." While TV and radio star Reverand Kate Bottley said: "Oh that’s a happy photo."

But former hockey star Sam Quek commented: "Not jealous one bit, like not even a tiny bit." But it's fair to say Helen's fans and followers were more interested in Helen's outfit for the occasion.

It comes after Helen's former dance partner Gorka Marquez gushed over their friendship. Fans cried that the TV and radio star and the Spanish dancer had been 'robbed' following the final of the BBC One dance contest at the end of last year.

And asked if it was hard missing out on the Glitterball with Helen last year, Gorka exclusively told the Manchester EVening News: "Obviously, when you're in the final everyone wants to win and yeah, she had a chance to win it but at the end, I'm very proud of what we achieved and lift the trophy or not, I felt like we won because it was our journey, not just the trophy.

"Of course, it would have been the cherry on the top but I won a friend forever and just seeing how much she grew and how much her confidence grew throughout the weeks.... and even the numbers we did. We did some iconic numbers and it was an amazing experience for us. I really enjoyed dancing with Helen and what we did was amazing."
