Helen Skelton's spring wardrobe has left us all completely starstruck, and one of her latest looks really caught our attention. 

Taking to her Instagram account, the British TV star, 42, was a vision showing off her exceptionally toned arms while sporting a blush pink waistcoat and slick leather skirt. Adding a pop of gold, Helen slipped into a pair of pointed-toe stilettos.

Captioning the post, which featured a number of her fabulous on-screen looks, Helen also gave an insight into how she and her BBC Morning Live co-stars share clothes: "A few of you messaged me about these clothes….. all are bought and paid for ….. a lot of it is old and recycled…. Message @alexandrayoungfashionstylist for specifics. Because @gabyroslin is head girl, and leads by example, we generally shop and share in our existing wardrobe.

Helen continued: "Most questions about the pleather skirt I wear with EVERYTHING…. Tee shirts, argyle jumpers, waistcoats. Etc Navy play suit has been on repeat for years. Purple jumper clashes with many things but that is how we like it. Thank you @carlymediamakeup @nancyspencermakeup @aimesjackson for making me look and feel awake.

"Thank you team sound for letting me wear as much jewellery as Mr T. Even though my necklaces bash the microphones. #television #daytimetelevision #bbc."

One fan weighed in: "Superb reel, Helen….you are always absolutely brilliant on Morning Live. It's always a joy to see you…and btw you always, always look fabulous, style…class…so lovely, naturally beautiful."

"Utterly breathtaking! Flawless perfection," a second added. Meanwhile, a third penned: "Just wanted to say…all the outfits are beautiful…but the pink dress you wore on Monday was Breathtaking!!! Simply Amazing…." a third penned.

Fashionista on and off screen

It may come as no surprise that Helen is just as much of a fashionista off-screen as on-screen, telling HELLO! In an exclusive interview that her friends always come to her for fashion advice, but it's her son Ernie, who loves to dish out the fashion advice. 

Helen explained: "If my friends have got work trips or business trips, they come over -  that's the only thing I bring to the group is that I'll like put clothes together for them -  and my kids are so funny.

"My friends will come round and be like: 'Oh, I'll just borrow that black dress' and literally my middle son will go: 'You can wear black anytime you're only going to this event once.' My friend works in music, and so my middle son is like: 'You can get away with anything in music, Kim.'

She continued: "I ordered some dresses online that just arrived, but I couldn't get them fastened. I finally got it up and [Louis] said, 'I'm not sure it's doing anything for you, ' and I was like, 'You're so cute.'"
