Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton is reportedly being eyed up to waltz into a presenting role on It Takes Two.
The former Blue Peter favourite, 39, previously danced her way all the way the grand final with her professional dancer Gorka Marquez last year.
And now, the mum-of-three could be looking at a new role on the annual BBC competition sitting beside Janette Manrara on its spin-off series.

It is understood the Countryfile star has held talks with BBC bosses with the blonde bombshell looking to temporarily fill in for pro dancer Janette – who is expecting her first child with hubby Aljaž Škorjanec later this year.

But since her showbiz pal Rylan Clark, 34, decided to hang up his dancing shoes, there may be a more permanent role on the cards – and sources say bosses think Helen could be the perfect fit.
Speaking to The Mirror, one insider said: “Not only is Helen a very experienced and popular presenter, she captured Strictly fans last year with her warmth and charisma.
“She was also a hit with the team, from the top bosses to the make-up teams, production and the crew.
“The pro dancers all know her and as a former contestant, she knows what the celebrities are going through. It seems like she could be a perfect fit for us.”

When asked for a comment by Daily Star, the BBC declined to comment. Helen was contacted for a comment.
The doting mum first found fame when she joined the BBC children’s show Blue Peter in 2008, and has hosted Countryfile since 2014 before she moved on to Channel 5’s On The Farm.
But her world turned upside down last year after her marriage to Richie Myler ended just months after she gave birth to their third child.
