She's already admitted that her brain and feet are on fire from training for Strictly Come Dancing but it appears Helen Skelton is also enduring a bit of stress at home. The TV star has been keeping her social media followers updated with her progress during week two of rehearsals for the dance contest.
Helen is among the 15 celebrities taking part in the 20th series of the BBC One show and last Friday, she, and viewers, were delighted to discover that she had been partnered with Gorka Marquez.
Then on Saturday, the new pairing made their debut in the ballroom with their first performance being an American Smooth to Aretha Franklin's You Send Me, which saw them awarded a score of 26 by the judges - Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke.

Earlier this week, Countryfile host Helen took to Instagram with a picture of shoe-less feet in the training room with a hint of her purple gym leggings peeking through. "And the aim of the game is to be sexy..." she wrote over the image. "Not with these trotters #NoPainNoGain."
And it's not just pain in Helen's feet as she also appears to have a pain in the form of Gorka being a bit of a prankster. Posting a smiling selfie of the pair on Instagram, Helen said: " Feet on fire and head exploding but loving every second of this journey…."
She then went on to say, including a video of the Spanish dancer's antics: "Somehow @gorka_marquez finding time to prank everyone - thank god there’s room laugh." She added: "It’s been a big old week of training so far and still a lot to do ….. here’s to the feet and hips doing what the boss says."
