Strictly stars, Dan Walker and Helen Skelton are swapping their dancing shoes for walking boots to explore the Pennine Way in Dan & Helen’s Pennine Adventure.

‘Vanished’ presenter, Dan Walker and Countryfile’s Helen Skelton are to front a new Channel 5 series which sees the pair embark on an epic journey through the Pennines. The 4-part series will see the close friends and presenters explore Britain’s first and finest long-distance trail, The Pennine Way.

The pair, who are both talented presenters, appeared in the 2021 and 2022 series of Strictly Come Dancing respectively and are keen to take on the 268-mile Pennine Way that runs from the Peak District to the Scottish borders. Together they will meet the people that live and work there, discover secret gems and discover more about the communities and businesses in the place they both call home.
