In an interview for the Countryfile website, the presenter remembered one special meal she ate containing seaweed when filming scientist Jonathan Williams of the Pembrokeshire Beach Food Company.

After picking seaweed together, Helen says: "We went back and made seaweed pasta, with crab and prawns. It was like a seafood risotto. It wasn’t pasta with a bit of seaweed, the seaweed was the pasta. I was more interested in the kelp and the laver that he dries down to make condiments. I had it for lunch on a fried egg butty. It adds a good flavour and made a boring sandwich really interesting."

What does Helen Skelton eat for dinner?

Like the rest of us parents, Helen loves an evening off cooking and a recent trip out for sushi with husband Richie was just the ticket. "We didn’t cook. That is all," wrote Helen besides the photo on her Instagram page.

The star is clearly a seafood fan as she also loves British staple, fish and chips.

Telling her Instagram followers of her go-to fish supper while speaking of her TV show Food Fraud, Helen said: "Do we know what we are eating?? For me the best fish and chips in the country are in Whitby - top-notch from source to plate but ELSEWHERE some endangered species have been mislabelled and ended up under the batter.... food fraud ...... does it matter and what does it mean is what we are talking about on @itvtonight this week."
