Friday 14 October 2022 08:43 AM Helen Skelton arrives at her hotel BAREFOOT to have drinks with Strictly ... trends now

Helen Skelton arrived back at her London hotel barefoot to enjoy a boozy girl's night and Chinese takeaway with Strictly co-stars Jayde Adams and Karen Hauer.

The TV presenter appeared on spin-off show It Takes Two earlier in the evening and the trio decided to head back to their hotel to end the day before a busy few days rehearsing and performing for week four of Strictly.

Helen had a big smile on her face, but earlier in the day, Helen was pictured breaking down as it was revealed her ex-husband Richie Myler is having a baby with new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill - just six months after he had left the family home.

Helen, who she shares three children with ex Richie, who is currently appearing on Strictly Come Dancing, was reportedly told of the baby news before Stephanie, 32, announced it on social media.

To keep herself busy, Helen, Jayde and Karen were seen getting drinks at the hotel bar before heading up to their rooms.

Shortly afterwards, Jayde was seen picking up Chinese food, which was delivered to the hotel for the trio, and soon after Helen was seen grabbing three plates in the lobby while barefoot - before running back to her room.

Helen was smiling despite her difficult day, but Karen and Jayde were there to support her and keep her company as they held hands while walking into their hotel.

Donning the same stylish figure she was pictured in earlier in the day, Helen wore a bright fuchsia midi dress along with a pair of white boots.
