Strictly Come Dancing bosses eye up ‘knicker flashing’ Helen Skelton for the ballroom
STRICTLY Come Dancing bosses are eyeing up Helen Skelton as a last minute signing, The Sun Online can reveal.
The “knicker flashing” presenter is set to be a huge hit with viewers after stealing the show at the Olympics with her raunchy wardrobe choices during the BBC’s coverage.
A Strictly insider tells The Sun Online how the 33-year-old has been on their radar ever since she starred in the Strictly Christmas special in 2012.
The star previously wowed with her energetic jive alongside Russian dance pro Artem Chigvintsev during the festive themed episode.
Our source reveals: “Bosses are considering making a last minute move to sign up her up as they finalise the line-up.
“They’ve have had their eye on her for the last couple of years as one of their ones to watch and now it’s her time to shine. The viewers will love her.
“Her sexy Olympics wardrobe has made her a household name.”
Already confirmed for the next series of the hit show is former Chancellor Ed Balls.
The blonde beauty recently caused a storm by revealing her tanned thighs in a blue mini-dress as she fronted coverage from the swimming on Saturday live from Rio.
Her sexy look sent Twitter into meltdown on Sunday after accidentally flashing her knickers in the tiny minidress.
She followed the sexy look up with a plunging orange dress which shown off her cleavage on the Sunday night.
The Sun previously revealed that the BBC presenter has hooked up with stylist Cobbie Yates, who has worked with Cara Delevigne , Jessie J and Justin Bieber.
A source said: “Helen’s seen all the fuss over her outfits online and is a bit bemused by it all but she’s pleased viewers are enjoying her style.
“Helen’s concentrating on the job in hand and is not going to let the attention go to her head – but she’s enjoying feeling good in one of the most glamorous cities in the world.
“Helen knew she’d want to look her best throughout the Olympics, so she hired Cobbie to help her pick some outfits.
This isn’t the fire time Helen’s short skirts have hit the headlines.
Back in 2012 when joined by Ben Shephard to host the Olympic Parade, her patriotic red dress blew up in the wind – flashing her knickers to the live audience.
