Helen Skelton, a STRICTLY star, was in good spirits as she relaxed with Ellie Taylor last night’s live performance.
The TV presenter, aged 39, looked fabulous as she walked out from the hotel bar with two large glasses in hand. She wore a white croptop and bright red pants to show off her abs.

Helen met Ellie at the hotel’s entrance, and she was naked in flared trousers and a large hoodie.
They looked relaxed hours before entering the ballroom to watch Movie Night.
Helen and Gorka Marquez were high up on the leaderboard, with their Viennese Watz scoring an impressive 31.
Johannes Radebe and Ellie were not as successful. They scored a combined 10 points and 21 for their Cha Cha Cha To The Shoop Shoop Song, (It’s in His Kiss) from Mermaids.
Shirley Ballas, a head judge who was particularly cruel to her, threatened her with exile.
After calling Ellie’s movements “blockish”Shirley said, “And no heel leads.” You did a natural top, and every step after that was a heel lead.
“So as from today, and that goes for everybody else, I’m not accepting any heel leads because you’ve been told, I know JoJo very much, you’ve got to get your weight and posture in the right place over a straight leg and give me that leg action.”
The harsh criticism shocked viewers.
One fan fumed: “Rude to Ellie. She wasn’t great but she was still better than that. Everyone should get higher than an eight now.”
The second echoing their thoughts added: “Shirley has her favourites and Ellie T isn’t one of them. Thought the tone of her comments was like a teacher telling off a child.”
A third question was: “Shirley gave Ellie a 5? Why does she mark the women harder than the men.”
