She captioned the joyous photo: "Happeeeee Birthday beautiful soul. Sending you all the love [red heart emoji] @harriet.ford."

Helen's sweet throwback snap comes amid her time on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing. The TV star has been impressing viewers with her extraordinary dance moves, earning herself a place at the top of last week's leaderboard.

Helen has been dominating the Strictly leaderboard

This isn't the first time Helen has dabbled in dance. In an interview unearthed by The Sun from 2016, the 39-year-old revealed that she won The Ken Dodd Tap Dancing Award 22 years ago.

"I won a Ken Dodd tap-dance award when I was 17," she said, before later adding: "Not a lot of people know this, but I'm very good at tap dancing. People are often amazed I can tap dance."

Addressing rumours of a possible "fix", Helen later appeared on Lorraine and explained: "I found it so funny when they said it was a fix that I did the tap dancing. When I was a little girl I did do dancing, but I didn't want to wear a leotard in public."

She continued: "When they asked me to do Strictly - I was hesitant - but my friends made me do it. Who else gets to go to work and get all dressed up?

"For me, I love the challenge and the learning and technically it is work and it's really nice to work on a programme my mum and dad want to watch, they are so excited," she added.
