In the first show, Helen will have been officially introduced to her new dancing partner – but viewers will have to wait one more week to find out who it is!
This is not Helen's first post about the show. Last week, the Countryfile star shared a teaser clip for the new series.
The Countryfile star, 39, looked phenomenal in a dark gold glitter-clad jumpsuit as she made an appearance in the video alongside other known faces including Kaye Adams and Ellie Simmonds.
Featuring a flared silhouette that exuded seventies sass, pirate-esque balloon sleeves, an all-over laminated metallic sheen, cuffed sleeves and a subtle tiger stripe print, the number was one for the Strictly style history book.
