She told the Express: “I would love to [do Strictly Come Dancing], it’s one of those shows which is the best of the best!
“It will be interesting to see who will be on it this year.”
Helen added: “I’m definitely not doing it, I would love to do it but I’m not doing it this year.”
The mum-of-two went on to say she thinks she would be good on the show, though, because she would “listen”.
Back in 2012, the telly fave had a brief cameo in the show’s Christmas special.
Speaking to Hello! magazine last year, Helen said: “I loved doing the Christmas one. I’m sure if it ever came up, I’m sure I would do it.
“It’s the most intense show I have ever been involved with, because they are all at the top of their game – the make-up ladies are the best in the business, the hair people are the best in the business, everybody is just so utterly professional.”
She said at the time she would find it “impossible” to say no to being on the show but it would all depend on timing.
Helen explained: “I think it’s one of those things where you have to really give your whole life over, so it would have to be a timing thing.
