Reflecting on her marriage breakdown, Helen told Stella Magazine: "Going through a divorce is awful. I'd been asked to do Strictly and, strange as it sounds, I thought it would be like a sort of therapy after my divorce."
She went on to say: "I'd spoken to quite a few people who said how it really helped them through difficult times. You are focused on this one thing, it's an emotional journey."
At the time of her divorce, the actress joined Strictly Come Dancing where she was partnered up with professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec.
