A third added: "Definitely worth watching now you're in it."
In her Stories, Helen shared a picture of her and Ellie eating a pizza and revealed that they had finished filming the launch show, which airs on the 17th.
"Launch done.. grateful for this gang @bbcstrictly," she wrote.
Helen has made good friends with the rest of the contestants
In the first show, Helen will have been officially introduced to her new dancing partner – but viewers will have to wait one more week to find out who it is!
This is not Helen's first post about the show. Last week, the Countryfile star shared a teaser clip for the new series.
The Countryfile star, 39, looked phenomenal in a dark gold glitter-clad jumpsuit as she made an appearance in the video alongside other known faces including Kaye Adams and Ellie Simmonds.
Featuring a flared silhouette that exuded seventies sass, pirate-esque balloon sleeves, an all-over laminated metallic sheen, cuffed sleeves and a subtle tiger stripe print, the number was one for the Strictly style history book.
