Helen Skelton looks incredible as Strictly star flashes her abs in crop top

Helen Skelton has wowed fans after uploading a picture to Instagram of herself flaunting her abs.

The Strictly star, 39, had donned a light blue crop top with a matching skirt that exposed her midriff, while posing for the camera on a balcony.

She captioned the image: "Blending into the background….".

Her fans were quick to leave kind comments and compliments, with one simply writing: "Beautiful. Xx", while a second penned: "You could never blend in to the background." A third raved: "Looking amazing."

Helen recently announced that she would be taking part in a new Channel 5 travel show with Dan Walker, 46, which will see the pair explore The Pennine Way, Britain's first long-distance trail.

The presenters aim to uncover hidden gems and secrets of the area, while meeting and speaking to local people who live and work there.

The series will see Helen and Dan explore rural landscapes, iconic towns and countryside in Britian, taking on a different section of their journey over each episode.

On the new series, Dan said: "I am really looking forward to making this series with Helen. I can’t wait to get out there and explore the Pennines."

He continued: "It will be nice to escape the studio for a while and join a good friend to discover a beautiful slice of the UK and meet some amazing people along the way. They promised me there would be food to taste too!”

Helen added: “I’m really looking forward to and grateful for the opportunity to have some incredible adventures with my friend, Dan. And it’s on my doorstep!”

The Mirror reported that Helen could also be lined up as a potential presenter for Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show, It Takes Two.

It is understood the conversations originally centred on a temporary role filling in for Janette Manrara – who is expecting her first child in the summer with dance pro hubby Aljaž Škorjanec.

A source said: “Not only is Helen a very experienced and popular presenter, she captured Strictly fans last year with her warmth and charisma. She was also a hit with the team, from the top bosses to the make-up teams, production and the crew.

"The pro dancers all know her and as a former contestant, she knows what the celebrities are going through. It seems like she could be a perfect fit for us.”
