However, as Helen appeared on The One Show sofa, some viewers took issue with her outfit.

Some branded it “inappropriate” because of the daring neckline.

One person said on Twitter: “Sorry Helen but you look inappropriately dressed. Everyone else wearing jumpers and long sleeves!”

Another tweeted: “@helen_george I’ve never seen anyone more inappropriately dressed on TV.”
