Winter on the Farm fans all say the same thing about Helen Skelton as Channel 5 show returns

WINTER on the Farm fans have praised host Helen Skelton as the Channel 5 show returned to our screens on Monday.

The TV presenter – who is currently starring on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing – swapped her ballroom shoes for wellies for the new series.

Viewers are in for a treat with four days of live action at the Cannon Hall Farm in South Yorkshire.

Aside from keeping up with her usual presenting gigs, Helen, 39, is currently rehearsing for the semi-finals of Strictly with professional dancer Gorka Marquez.

Helen’s fans took to social media to applaud the mum-of-three for her work ethic and presenting flair.

One wrote: “@HelenSkelton Terrific presenter and off the scale beauty.”

Another posted: “OMG I am in awe of @HelenSkelton how can she do it all?! Super mum (with a baby!), super dancer and super presenter. Give that girl a big gin!”

A third said: “Great job tonight from @HelenSkelton on #WinterOnTheFarm”

Speaking about the new series of Winter On The Farm, she said: “I love the crisp, cold days, I love being outside all day, getting the cold and wind on my face and then the rewards of sitting in front of the fire warming up.

“With the team on Winter on the Farm, we just have a laugh, it’s a great atmosphere, just like hanging out with friends.”

Jules Hudson also returned to the farm having missed the 2022 Summer series.

It comes after Helen sent fans into meltdown with a sizzling “revenge” routine on Saturday night.

Helen has revealed not everyone was impressed by the near-perfect couple’s choice performance, namely her kids Ernie, Louis and Elsie Kate.

Speaking on last night’s spin-off show It Takes Two, she said: “We loved Friday night, we had an absolutely brilliant time, it was so much fun and the atmosphere in the studio is one of those things that will stay with me forever. 

“My children said it was a bit weird for us and they were a little bit embarrassed but they were okay about it, my parents absolutely loved it. My mum was in the front row, she was just going mad wasn’t she.”

While her kids might not have enjoyed that specific routine, they are loving the Strictly experience in general.

Helen continued: “I think for all of our families it’s nice for them to see us having a good time.

“Because we’ve had a great adventure, a great journey so far, obviously some bits are easier than others but when you’re putting a lot of work in, when it comes together like it did the other night, it’s just brilliant for us but brilliant for them as well isn’t it.”

Dancing to Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, Helen wowed the judges at the weekend and was given a standing ovation by the studio audience.

Viewers felt Helen executed the performance perfectly as a form of “revenge” for her ex, Leeds Rhinos rugby ace Richie Myler, who left her in April and is expecting a baby with new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill.

Helen dazzled in her stunning cabaret style attire in all black.

Taking to Twitter, fans were full of praise for the TV star who managed to score an impressive 39 after all the judges, bar Craig Revel Horwood, gave her a perfect 10.
