The Sun revealed earlier this month that Helen was appearing on the show hoping to “bounce back” from her shock marriage break up from husband Richie Myler.
Yet with the show still weeks away, the mum of three is back to her day-job.
She was seen strolling in the sunshine in her trendy light-wash one-piece, which tied at the stomach.
The high collar gave a sassy edge and Helen tied her blonde hair up to stay cool in the heat.

Her work pass was slung around her neck and she carried a script in her hand as she prepared to present Channel 4‘s rugby league coverage in Manchester.
Helen was all set to cover the Salford Red Devils match after starring on Claudia’s Radio 2 show.
She said after the news was confirmed on Claudia‘s show: “I’m really excited to get stuck into a fun adventure.
“My family and friends have always loved the show and can’t wait for me to get started.”

Helen announced her break with rugby league ace husband Richie Myler, 32, in April — four months after their third child was born.
A source told The Sun: “Most people are absolutely desperate to avoid the Strictly curse but Helen would love it to give her some confidence back.

“Everyone on the inside thinks she could end up going a very long way.”
Helen started her TV career in children’s television, presenting Newsround and Blue Peter on the BBC.
She went on to front Countryfile, Channel 5’s On The Farm series and is a regular on ITV Tonight.
