Strictly finalist Helen Skelton could experience a huge uplift in her personal wealth after her run on the BBC dance show, according to a report.
Countryfile presenter Helen and her pro partner Gorka Marquez were among the 2022 favourites to lift the Glitterball trophy.
They were denied victory in the final after viewers selected Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystal as their champions during Saturday’s (December 17) evening’s show.
But The Sun reckons Helen could prove the ultimate winner, claiming the BBC want her as the broadcaster’s “golden girl”.
Helen Skelton’s ‘turning point’?

The tabloid identifies a moment in which the 39-year-old was congratulated by her father Stephen following her Blackpool performance as pivotal.
Her dad is reported to have become visibly emotional at the time, telling his daughter: “We’ve got you back.”
