Meanwhile, Helen is also currently busy filming a new travel series with fellow presenter and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Dan Walker. The news of a second series came following fans' support after their first jaunt which saw them exploring the North Pennines.

They teamed up for Dan & Helen's Pennine Adventure last year and it saw them venturing through the stunning countryside while getting stuck into challenging activities, from cycling along Snake Pass in the Peak District to trying their hand at float-tube fishing and getting into swimwear to plunge into a river.

After the support for the programme, at the end of the four-part series, Dan and Helen pleaded for their fans' help as they were asked about the possibility of a second series.

And their wish is Channel 5's command as Dan and Helen revealed last month that they are set to explore Yorkshire. Taking to Instagram at the time, Dan shared a picture of the pair. which was reshared by Helen, and said; "Some lovely news… we are about to start filming a new travel series for @channel5_tv."

He added: "Watch this space for more details. We’ll let you know when you can watch us wandering around Yorkshire together as soon as we can (champagne optional)," and has since ben sharing updates on what he and Helen have been getting up to.
