Proving herself to be unflinchingly stylish, as she has been throughout the ordeal, the Strictly Come Dancing star posted a black-and-white snap of herself on Instagram as she introduced herself to the approaching new year.

In an October interview with The TelegraphHelen declined to comment on Richie’s new relationship out of respect for everyone involved, noting, “You can’t have any say in someone else’s life until you’ve walked in those shoes.”
“And my family is happy, my children are happy, and that’s all that matters.”
She explained that she agreed to take part in Strictly to end the year on a positive note, stating, “I think it would have been disrespectful for me not to have done Strictly.” For my family, who needs to see me have a good time. It’s not just for me.
Helen continued: “I don’t see myself as a victim, no, because I mean, look… There are a lot of people who have been in my situation who haven’t had the opportunities that I have.”
