Helen Skelton dons 'stunning' outfit on beach getaway as fans joke 'you're not on Strictly now'

Helen Skelton appears not to have quite left her Strictly Come Dancing sequin days behind her, as some "beautiful" photos from her most recent holiday showed.

The BBC presenter and Strictly runner-up shared a series of sun-soaked snaps on Instagram as she enjoyed a "girls trip" to Ibiza, admitting that she felt "very spoiled" after a stay in a luxury five-star hotel. The mum-of-three was also celebrating a milestone occasion, with her 40th birthday coming up on July 19.

"Very grateful for a couple of days in the sun with some of my nearest and dearest to mark a big birthday," she wrote alongside a glamorous photo of herself enjoying a cocktail on a paddleboard. "It's been a long time since we managed a girl trip."

In another snap, Helen was seen on the sand looking out to sea as she donned high heels and a glamorous silver sequin shawl. As the star said that she was already "planning the next adventure", her stylish outfit prompted some Strictly-themed jokes from her Instagram followers.

"Heels in sand? You're not on Strictly now," one fan joked in the comments section.

"Helen, your heels sweetie, those heels are going to get ruined!" someone else wrote.

Another fan gushed: "You look absolutely beautiful as always Helen."

"Pure natural beauty - both the landscape and yourself Helen," a different fan added, while others branded the outfit "stunning".

After landing back in the UK, Helen was full of praise for her trip as she shared a montage of highlights on her social media. "Short. Sharp. Special. Thanks for the reboot ladies and thanks for having us @trsibizahotel @onthebeachholidays," she wrote.

"I am a big believer in credit where it’s due and we all fell totally in love with this hotel… the décor, the food, the cocktails… second to none. Feeling very spoiled and very thankful. Here's to the like minded ladies," the star added.
