Helen Skelton stuns alongside Strictly partner Gorka Marquez at the Pride of Britain Awards

Helen Skelton cut a stylish figure last night as she swapped the ballroom for a red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards.

The Countryfile presenter, 39, from Cumbria, was joined by Strictly Come Dancing partner Gorka Marques at the 23rd annual Awards event held at London's Grosvenor House.

She beamed in a cut-out long green dress which showed off her shoulders, paired with a small gold clutch bag and a thick gold bracelet.

The stunning Pia Gown by British born designer Emma Wallace has a price tag of £420 and is available online.

Helen completed the look by styling her glossy blonde hair into voluminous curls with a side-parting, while keeping her make-up relatively minimalist.

Fellow Strictly stars Kym Marsh, Jimmy Bye, Molly Rainford, Tyler West, Fleur East and Ellie Taylor were also in attendance at what is arguably one of the most emotional nights of the year.

The Pride of Britain Awards is an annual event designed to celebrate the achievements of remarkable people.

Posting on Instagram, actress Gemma Atkinson beamed alongside her boyfriend Gorka, Helen and It Takes Two presenter Janette Manrara.

Elsewhere, former Blue Peter presenter Helen, looked happy in a snap with singer Molly, presenter Tyler, singer Fleur and comedian Ellie - who she is competing against for the Glitterball Trophy.

Tyler’s partner Dianne Buswell and Fleur’s partner Vito Coppola were also pictured alongside the Strictly crew.

Helen danced her way through to the next round of Strictly Come Dancing at the weekend with a Charleston to the Blue Peter Theme Tune.

She earned her highest score of the series so far, getting a total of 35 from the judges.

Next week, the mother-of-three and her Spanish dance partner will take part in Halloween week.

Helen would usually attend the Pride of Britain Awards alongside Leeds Rhinos star Richie Myler.

However, the pair split in April after eight years of marriage. They annouced the news just five-months after the birth of their daughter Elsie.

The rugby league star has since annouced that he is expecting a baby with his new girlfriend, Stephanie Thirkill - who is the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thrikill.
