Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton confessed she "forgot who she was" amid her split from ex-husband Richie Myler.

She added: "For me, it's a chance to be powerful and sassy and all of that, and I think that's a good thing for me to explore.

"Strictly has given me so many things already. It's helped me remember who I am, and remember what I'm about. I have got lots to be thankful for, and I know what I can offer.
