Helen Skelton was left red-faced ahead of rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing as she shared her error with her social media followers.
The television presenter, 39, and her professional dance partner Gorka Marquez told their fans that they’d had “an interesting” day before they both arrived at final rehearsals.
Ahead of their rehearsals Gorka was left stunned when his car suffered from a flat tyre before he later turned the camera towards Helen who revealed what she had endured earlier that day.

However, it appears Helen also had a rather turbulent day as she admitted to making several costly mistakes.

She said: “I’ve had three parking tickets in a week.
“I thought I had paid on the app, but I paid for parking at the wrong car park.
“So, I have paid for my parking but not where my car is parked, so that’s three tickets in one week.”
Gorka later went on to say: “What’s funny is she got in the same day, in the same car park, two tickets, how is that even possible?”

The pair appear to have struck up quite the friendship since being partnered together on the popular BBC dance competition.
Gorka’s fiancé Gemma Atkinson, who he met on the programme has been to squash rumours and has also struck up a friendship with Helen.
Sources told Heat magazine: “A lot of Gemma’s mates were wondering if she would be worried about the Strictly curse but she laughs it off and just wants to embrace Helen into the family and support her.”

They added: “She’s being extremely positive and encouraging of the pairing and wants them to go all the way.”
It’s believed that Gemma is “relieved” Gorka is partnered with Helen due to her down-to-earth nature and persona.
After Gorka and Helen first took to the dancefloor, Gemma couldn’t help but gush over her fiancé and his partner as she shared a selfie of the pair alongside the caption: “C’mon!!! Go out there and shine Helen! You’re gonna have the most amazing time on Strictly! Will be rooting for you both,” before tagging her fiancé and Helen.
Fans loved the show of affection as they gushed over Helen and Gorka’s performance and bond with one writing: “We’re all rooting for you Helen, you have so much to offer the world do not let the past steal your future. They say things happen for a reason & I believe it’s because it’s your time to shine.”
