Strictly Come Dancing drama as bosses warned of 'naughty' Helen Skelton's 'wild' side

Strictly Come Dancing hasn't even hit our television screens yet and there seems to be drama already as bosses have been warned about Yorkshire's Helen Skelton’s “wild” side.

According to Her Summer on the Farm co-presenter Martin Hughes-Games the star needed to have a special editor on the set as she can say "naughty things". Martin has told Strictly bosses to prepare for the same.

The pair hosted a week-long string of live shows on Channel 5 last month. The 66-year-old told The Sun: "Helen’s a bit dodgy to work with. She’s a safe pair of hands but has to be reined in a bit because she has a tendency to be a bit wild.

"We have someone from Channel 5 compliance, on set in South Yorkshire, who tells her that she mustn’t say too many naughty things. Although of course there’s always the chance that she might."

During Martin and Helen's time together on Cannon Farm earlier in the year, the zoologist was known for poking fun at his co-star. In one instance, she made a cheeky joke about "tossing cheese," forcing Martin to warn her to "be professional".

Helen has admitted she "feels sick" when she hears the Strictly theme tune as she can't dance. She warned her fans not to expect epic dancing and confesses she "just wanted to wear nice dresses", the Mirror reports.

She said: "I work on farms. I watch cows give birth and stand in wellies." And she says when producers asked if she could dance, she was honest and said no but thought the point was to "go on it to learn to dance".
