Over on Instagram, the Countryfile presenter shared a video of memorable highlights from her time on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. Alongside the reel, Helen penned an emotional message packed with nostalgia.

In her lengthy caption, she shared: "As the frozen Princess said LET IT GO [laughing face emoji] but before I do, I'm posting this flashback to the Strictly final for three reasons: one it's taken me this long to work out the drop box/video clip situation."

She continued: "Two: there's about to be a whole lot of Strictly tour spam that doesn't involve @gorka_marquez and I need to mark this chapter with an acknowledgement and appreciation of my wingman. Three: These are memories that make me smile and sometimes it takes a couple of weeks of hindsight to really appreciate what went down on and off the dance floor.
"So before the tour starts one big final virtual high five and bucket of respect to @fleureast @vitocoppola @mollyrainford @gkx_carlos @jowitaprzystal @hamzayassin90 @gorka_marquez that was some ride we had. Cheers to the memories and the moments I will treasure."

A third chimed: "This makes me smile BIG TIME! Keep dancing Helen," and a fourth added: "Helen you are such an inspirational woman. Loved watching your journey on Strictly."
Helen's heartwarming post comes after her ex-husband, Richie Myler, opted to delete his public Instagram page. The Leeds Rhinos rugby player, 32, scrapped his social media profile on Friday after an initial crackdown on his followers.

"I've decided to put my profile private from now on," he wrote on Instagram Stories. "If you are on here to share my photos or stories of me and my life maliciously to other people or waste your time sending me abusive messages please just unfollow me.
"I'm going to start removing people from my account one by one, so if you are a genuine rugby fan and I accidentally remove you I apologise in advance and will accept you back! Thank you Richie."
