Strictly Come Dancing finalist Helen Skelton, 39, has admitted she needs help with setting up some complicated equipment for her son.The Countryfile star confessed she was “desperate” to get the tech working.In the words of my seven-year-old, ‘You can get to the South Pole but you can’t set up Minecraft.’“True son, true,” she added, before asking her Instagram followers: “Anybody know what this means?”The Countryfile star zoomed in on the computer monitor, which showed several input source options, including VGA, DVI-D and DisplayPort. “I’m desperate!” Helen pleaded to her fans in the hopes that one tech whiz might come to the rescue.

Helen was attempting to set up the game Minecraft, a popular online video game, for her eldest son Ernie.

We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children.” Despite the heartbreak Helen went through in 2022, she also found new joy when she participated in Strictly Come Dancing later in the year.The star, who was partnered up with professional dancer Gorka Márquez, went on.
