'I had a little cry': Helen Skelton revealed she broke down in tears ahead of appearing on Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday
She revealed her nerves while reflecting on her first show on Radio 5 Live on Sunday: 'I had a little cry. I’m normally cool, calm and collected,' she told listeners.
'I got on the dance floor and they said, "When the audience come in..." and I went, "Oh crikey, yeah, there’s people. I was like, "There’s a fire door, there, I can get out of it," and I did.
'Gorka found me and said, "What are you doing?" I said, "Just having a minute." I literally ran. It was like when I did Celeb SAS, I tried to escape that.'
