Strictly Come Dancing finalist Helen Skelton has been linked with a presenting role on It Takes Two.
According to the Mirror, Countryfile host Helen has held talks with BBC bosses about fronting the dance show spin off.
Furthermore, the report comes just days after It Takes Two host Rylan revealed he is quitting the BBC Two programme. Rylan, 34, had hosted alongside Zoe Ball and Janette Manrara for four years.
He said in a statement: “The time has come for me to pass on the baton to someone else and explore what else life has for me. Thank you Strictly, you will always have my heart… and dancing feet.”
