Helen Skelton makes awkward live blunder after Boris Johnson swipe as she jokes 'I almost got away with it'

Helen Skelton suffered an awkward blunder whilst live on air presenting Channel 5's Summer On The Farm star on Wednesday evening alongside co star Martin Hughes.

The 38-year-old TV star said she was regretting her choice of attire seen as she was spotted keeping warm with a blanket in a cringe-worthy on-air blunder.

Mum-of-three Helen who was obviously keeping warm in between takes was too slow to ditch the blanket before the camera's starting rolling again, he quipped: "Ah, I almost got away with it!" Martin revealed: "She has had this on all night, keeping herself warm, you cheat!"

As the programme kicked off, Helen announced: "It's that time again, 8pm on Tuesday the fifth of July and we are here, live in Barnsley at Cannon Hall Farm for another night of fun on the farm."

She continued: "Martin's come back for another day," before asking her co-star: "Just got to get it out of the way quickly, Martin, are you going to resign?"

"Well, no Helen, I'm considering my position but I've decided to stay on for just another day," Martin, 66, replied. "Are you sure? Because everyone else is going..." Helen said.

"Are they?" Martin asked. Helen asked: "Jay, are you going to resign?" Jay replied: "No." She then joked: "Cameraman Steve, are you going to resign?"
