It is a big change from her usual roles
Former Strictly star Helen Skelton has announced she will be part of a fan favourite children's show. The Countryfile star is preparing for a part in Fireman Sam as a brand new farming character called Annie Morris.
Helen, who quit her BBC 5 Live gig earlier this year, said: "I'm thrilled to be a part of the Fireman Sam family and lend my voice to the spirited character of Farmer Annie Morris. This series is packed with adventures and important life lessons for kids, and I can't wait for everyone to see it.
Skelton, 40, and Leeds Rhinos rugby player, Myler, had welcomed their third child, Elsie, four months before ending the marriage. Helen shocked her followers at the time when she broke the upsetting news on Instagram. "Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co parent our small children," she wrote.
In her new autobiography In My Stride, Helen has opened up about the impact that her marriage split left on her, and how she hoped that throwing herself into Strictly rehearsals would take some of the pain away. Helen recalls her rehearsals with Gorka, and how he once asked her why she didn't feel sexy.
