    Helen Skelton on mental resilience, being at peace with nature and her Strictly journey

    In this episode, Tom is joined by broadcaster Helen Skelton. From being the first woman to ever solo kayak the Amazon, to running an Namibian ultramarathon in 40 degree heat, Helen has never been one to shy away from adversity or indeed any globe-trotting adventure.  She has also become one of Britain’s most loved TV stars on shows such as Countryfile and On the Farm, not to mention her recent star-turn on Strictly Come Dancing.  Tom caught up with Helen for a walk around London’s Regent's Park, before settling inside for a chat, where she lifted the lid on just how tough those challenges were...but also life as a single mum and how Strictly brought her back to life after some challenges in her personal life.
