Helen Skelton: The First Person To Cycle To The South Pole & Being A TV Star

Won In A Million

Ellie’s first guest Helen Skelton is not only a TV star, she’s the holder of multiple Guinness World Records (somehow it seemed like a good idea to go to the South Pole on a bicycle) and her story about losing a BAFTA is *almost* better than the time she won.

Just don’t ask anything rude about sheep and sign language. What??? Listen and all shall be revealed, as well Helen’s Strictly regret, her Lotto winning dreams, that time she ate the fish that jumped in her lap, and her discovery that she’s not the most gracious of winners. Wholesome: yes. Gracious: bahahaha no. There’s a reason Ellie calls her pal Skelts a, ‘good mum, terrible person’.

You’ll hear all this and more with our Won In A Million podcast series, bringing you the joy of winning with Lotto from The National Lottery.
