Helen, 39, had a casual figure for filming in shorts and a T-shirt and covered her shoulders with a camouflaged jacket.

Helen and Dan starred in Strictly Come Dancing in 2022 and 2021 respectively and will release their four-part Channel 5 series in August.

The 260-mile trail runs along the Pennines and the Cheviots, starting at Edale in the Peak District and ending at Kirk Yetholm on the Scottish Borders.

Each episode of the series sees Helen and Dan on a different part of their journey, using different modes of transportation and taking part in fun activities.

The stars shared a joint carousel of snaps from their adventure and captioned it: “Brilliant day filming, we were mining Blue John in the and canoeing under the Pennies through the Standedge Tunnel.”

“We met so many lovely people. Hopefully in August on the television box.

His TV show comes after Dan reportedly recently said he ‘doesn’t miss the BBC’ after leaving broadcaster for Channel 5 in a £1.5 million deal last year.

The former Breakfast presenter also lashed out at his former employer, saying “things have to change” to survive in the modern world.

He told The Mirror: ‘I miss the people, but I don’t miss the BBC’. Dan worked for the iconic broadcaster for 13 years, where he also presented Football Focus and appeared on Strictly.

‘I still love the BBC. I watch it and I’m still a passionate defender of what it does. And I think a media landscape without the BBC would be much bleaker. Should something change at the BBC? Yes’.

Before adding, “Do they need to be a little more current in the way they do things?” Probably’.

He now presents the news at 5 p.m. four nights a week and presents six hours of prime time shows each year.

Meanwhile, last week Helen enjoyed a weekend away with her kids on a semi-annual staycation on the Lakes.

The mother-of-three looked fabulous as she showed off her figure in a low-cut black bikini top and black shorts.

Helen’s long blonde locks were swept back in a ponytail as she watched her son wakeboard, balancing on a boat.

The star shielded her eyes with sunglasses and was all smiles as she enjoyed a day of fun activities.

She divorced her ex-husband Richie Myer, 32, in April 2022, just four months after giving birth to their youngest child, Elsie.

Helen and rugby league player Richie are parents to Ernie, seven, Louis, eight, and Elsie, 17 months.

Six months after Helen and Richie broke up, it emerged that Richie and his new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill were expecting their first child together.
