Helen Skelton suffers nightmare day after car breakdown and baby struggle

Helen Skelton suffered a nightmare day after her car broke down and her baby was up all night.

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 39, tried to laugh off the incidents as she spent a day enjoying the sun.

Taking to her Instagram, she posted a snap of her lush garden and wrote: "Do I care my car broke down and the baby was up all night (again). Nope. Nope, I don't. Bring the coffee and the concealer."

Later in the day, Helen seemed to get over her nightmare as she posed for a group photo with her friends on a countryside getaway.

She then showed a clip of her children who had fun playing in a large paddling pool.

Helen is a proud mum to sons Ernie and Louis and also daughter Elsie, who she shares with ex-husband Richie Myler.

The presenter 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.

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

Helen said: “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 recently 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.”
