Helen Skelton and Dan Walker reveal heartwarming five-word secret to their relationship
Helen Skelton and Dan Walker have revealed the secret to their on-screen chemistry and what they like to do when they go out walking together.
Helen, who is best known for her presenting roles on Countryfile and Blue Peter, has joined forces with former BBC Breakfast host Dan for a new Channel 5 travel series, 'Yorkshire Great and Small with Dan and Helen'.
It would appear the presenters are on excellent terms, with Dan revealing that it could be because they're very "similar". Helen is equally complimentary of her co-host. In fact, she said they've "never had a bad word".

But we laugh at each other, too, and, on our walks, we ask silly questions and list things like our top 10 Helens, from Helen Hunt to Helen of Troy. Helen Skelton was No 7!"
Helen said: "I didn't even make the top five! We've been fitting this around our other commitments like Dan's Classic FM show and my time on (BBC1's) Morning Live, so we've had little sleep, but we've never had a bad word."

A teaser trailer for the series dropped this week, with Helen saying they'd returned to "God’s own country" to explore "glorious" Yorkshire. Meanwhile, Dan was spotted wearing a padded outfit and yellow Wellington boots.
Dan, who also starred in Strictly Come Dancing, proceeded to do some lunges to show off his clothes, while Helen approached him and jokingly referred to her co-presenter as a "sight for sore eyes".
Helen and Dan will explore the county's points of interest and beauty spots, including the Western Dales and the North York Moors. Helen was clearly impressed in the trailer, remarking that the countryside views were "genuinely breathtaking".

Dan, who took to Twitter to post a series of behind-the-scenes photos while filming the upcoming Channel 5 show, ends the trailer by asking: "It's not bad, Yorkshire, is it?"
In July, it was reported that fans fell in love with the TV duo after they traversed the Pennines together in their other travel series, Dan & Helen’s Pennine Adventure.
Earlier this year, they teased the new show with a photo of them wearing roller skates, with Dan adding: "Not sure what to say. Good morning. Coming to a screen near you later this year."
Yorkshire Great and Small will air on September 12 on Channel 5 from 8pm.
