Strictly Come Dancing's Helen Skelton raises JB Gill 'concern' on return to BBC show

As fans loved seeing her back on Strictly Come Dancing, Helen Skelton raised a 'concern' over JB Gill's progress on the show, during a segment with the JLS star and his pro partner Lauren Oakley.

Now Morning Live host Helen was a revelation on Strictly two years ago. Paired with Gorka Marquez, the TV presenter signed up to do the BBC programme just months after her marriage to rugby player Richie Myler broke down and, was reported to have fled one of her early Strictly rehearsals through a fire exit, after becoming frustrated with her efforts.

However, around halfway through her Strictly stint, Helen transformed into one of that year's biggest contenders, as she and Gorka turned out brilliant performance after brilliant performance, with their Couple's Choice to Mein Herr from Cabaret being lapped up by millions of viewers at home, as they became one of the favourites to win.

Sadly for Helen, the final didn't go her way, with the Glitterball trophy being won by Hama Yassin, however Helen did get 'revenge' by notching up the most wins of the Strictly live tour, as she was presented with her own Glitterball at the end of it. All of the love for Helen on the show in 2022, meant that fans were delighted to see her back on screen, as she appeared on camera alongside high scorers JB and Lauren, as the singer filmed Channel 5's On The Farm, with Helen.

And it was when sitting down with the couple that Helen shared her concerns, as she commented: "I'm so glad you made it to the farm, but I'm slightly worried you're going to get no training as she (Lauren) has seen baby animals!"

Thankfully for JB and Lauren, Helen had no reason to be concerned about their performances on Saturday's Strictly live show, as their week 10 dance, a Charleston warned them a near perfect score of 39 out of 40, with Craig Revel-Horwood the only judge not to award a 10.
