Helen, 39, and Kai, 27, looked incredible as they posed on the first night of the new Strictly tour.

The TV presenter took to her Instagram to show off her figure in a sexy black playsuit with corset detailing as they took to the stage for the first time.

Looking to be enjoying the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing – The Live Tour in Birmingham, Helen looked towards the camera as she nearly did the splits.

She straddled her legs either side of her new dance partner Kai, after missing out on the Glitterball trophy alongside pro dancer Gorka Marquez last month.

The mother-of-three donned a tiny sparkling black dress, which was cut low at her chest, and showed off her muscles.

She flexed her arms and shoulders as she held the near-split position, pushing herself up from the floor.

Helen completed her look with a pair of tights, as she pulled her blonde locks back into a neat up-do.

The star went full glam with a dramatic palette of make-up for the performance in Birmingham today.

She strutted her stuff on the stage in high-heeled shoes as part of the cabaret-themed performance, wowing the crowd.

Helen could be seen making a number of outfit changes, including into a tartan-printed red and black dress for a second dance routine.

It comes after Helen surprised her co-stars as she made a comeback amid her ‘difficult love triangle’.

Despite losing out to on lifting the Glitterball trophy to presenter Hamza Yassin, Helen returned for the tour.

Helen was crowned the winner of the first show as the tour opened in Birmingham’s Utilita Arena.

It comes amid her ‘love triangle’ drama as she was partnered with Kai for the tour and not Gorka.

“It’s really difficult not to be with Gorka because we’re such good friends,” Helen told The Celeb Report. 

“I’ve been asking him for advice a lot, so it feels like he’s here. I’d have loved for him to do it, but it’s almost like he’s in the group.”
