Last Saturday Helen and dance partner Gorka Marquez performed an incredible American Smooth to Aretha Franklin’s song You Send Me.

Tonight the pair appeared on Strictly’s spin-off It Takes Two to talk about their debut.

Host Janette Manrara said how amazing Helen looked, and mentioned how the telly favourite was excited about being “strictly-fied”.

And Helen revealed that the glam team had to stitch her into her dress LIVE on air.

She asked: “How did you feel getting glammed up?”

“The glam team and the wardrobe team are incredible.

“I was being stitched into that costume because I tripped up in the dress in rehearsal.

“So I was being stitched into that as everybody was sat there on air! The girls are just amazing!”

That’s not the only mishap that’s happened.

Earlier this week Helen revealed a bloody rehearsal injury on social media.

She took to social media to share a picture of her feet looking painful with blood on heels.

Helen wrote: “And the aim of the game is to be sexy… not with these trotters #nopainnogain,” followed by laughing emojis.

Despite her injury, the Strictly star seemed in good spirits as she posed for a selfie with dance partner as they trained.

Helen beamed as Gorka stood smiling away in the background, and Helen wrote: “Feet on fire and head exploding but loving every second of this journey…

“Somehow Gorka finding time to prank everyone – thank god there’s room to laugh. 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.”
