Is it hot in here, or is it just Helen Skelton? The 42-year-old TV star was a vision when she appeared on our screens on Tuesday morning for BBC Morning Live, wearing a fiery red wrap dress.

The former Blue Peter star's striking ensemble featured a dramatic collared neckline and was adorned with tortoise shell buttons, finished with a waist cinching belt. 

Posing for a photo for her makeup artist, Carly Media Makeup, the mother-of-three made the most of the spring sunshine, her camera-ready makeup couldn't have looked more flawless as she posed eye-closed.  As for her hair, Helen styled her soft blonde hair in elegant waves.

"A big fan of the seasons but a much bigger fan of lighter nights and days with less rain. Really looking forward to spending more time outside as the weather warms up," she penned in the caption, promoting a collaboration with Go Outdoors.

Talking to HELLO! about her connection with the brand, the British TV star said that when it comes to her outdoorsy looks, she wants to still make sure she's stylish.

"You ask any working mum who does school runs and football practices, like you, your uniform is leggings, practical shoes, and a massive hoodie or a massive coat, and that's kind of what you live in. They want to wear something that can go from park run to coffee shop to school run, and I think that's kind of where GO Outdoors ticks all those boxes," she said.

Family fashion

Helen told us that she has even passed down her credentials as a certified fashionista, her sense of style is something she has passed down to her eight-year-old son, Louis, she explained in an exclusive interview with HELLO!.

"If my friends have got work trips or business trips, they come over -  that's the only thing I bring to the group is that I'll like put clothes together for them -  and my kids are so funny.

"My friends will come round and be like: 'Oh, I'll just borrow that black dress' and literally my middle son will go: 'You can wear black anytime you're only going to this event once.' My friend works in music, and so my middle son is like: 'You can get away with anything in music, Kim.'

She continued: "I ordered some dresses online that just arrived, but I couldn't get them fastened. I finally got it up and [Louis] said, 'I'm not sure it's doing anything for you, ' and I was like, 'You're so cute.'"
