TV presenter Helen Skelton has started rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing - but suffered a glitter-related disaster after the first day.
The Countryfile presenter, a mum-of-three, has been confirmed for the 2022 BBC dance contest. After returning home from a rehearsal for the hit show, Helen took to Instagram 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 then returned to her page to share another clip, revealing that the confetti she brought home from Strictly to celebrate has stained her floor.
"First day at Strictly yesterday which was great fun but lovely Billy let me bring home the glitter for the kids to play which we did and it was fun." But warning her fellow Strictly celeb Ellie Taylor, Helen added: "Just be careful if you do play with the glitter it will gild your floor. I've got a gold floor now!"
The TV and radio star could be seen sat on the floor next to a brush to show off the marks on her floor where the gold pieces had stuck to her flooring, reports the Manchester Evening News. Helen's Strictly update comes after her Summer On The Farm co-presenter Martin Hughes-Games admitted that the BBC show may need to take extra precaution with the former Blue Peter star.
He jokingly told The Sun: "Helen's a bit dodgy to work with. She's a safe pair of hands but has to be reined in a bit because she has a tendency to be a bit wild." He also revealed that Helen had a special editor when they filmed Summer On The Farm who had to monitor her "naughty" language.
The 66-year-old told the publication: "We have someone from Channel 5 compliance, on set in South Yorkshire, who tells her that she mustn't say too many naughty things. Although of course there's always the chance that she might."
