Helen Skelton to present new adventure programme on 5
In North Yorkshire, Helen descends 4,500 feet into the UK's deepest mine - an extraordinary undersea world and the only place on Earth where Polyhalite is extracted.
"According to the TV guide, the preview reads: "She gets a real taste of mining life: a creaky lift ride, 35-degree heat, and the rumble of a multi-tonne mining machine.
"Back on the surface, she swaps drills for thrills, meeting a Redcar land sailing legend and joining the wind-powered action on the beach. There's even time for a Teesside classic - the Parmo. Chicken, béchamel and cheese? Yes please!
"Down on the Kent coast, JB explores the strange beauty of Dungeness - a vast shingle headland and a haven for unlikely wildlife. From laughing frogs to leeches he discovers just how wild Britain's only desert can get.
Recommended reading:
"At Broadstairs beach, he meets heroic rescue dogs whose super-snouts are saving lives along the shore.
"Meanwhile, Jules is in Devon, setting sail from Salcombe aboard the iconic Yawl - the pride of the south coast. Then it's into the depths of Beer Quarry Caves, a sprawling labyrinth hand-carved over 2,000 years.
"Among the Roman coins and medieval carvings, he stumbles across something unexpected: a local male voice choir, drawn here not just for the history, but for the incredible acoustics – the best in the country!
"And while they may be hundreds of miles apart, the banter's never far away as Helen, JB and Jules share all their adventures with each other."

Going make-up free, Helen's painful looking black eye could be visibly seen as she kept her sunglasses propped upon her head before getting into her vehicle. Helen is understood to have acquired the bruising after opting for a series of £400 skin injections into her face. The TV favourite confirmed she had undergone the procedure on her Instagram stories shortly before she was seen with the shiner. Helen told her fans that she had undergone Polynucleotides, a procedure which aims to rejuvenate the skin and face with no added volume.

Her comments came despite the fact that the pair had officially split up. It sparked hopes of a reunion but those now appear to be dashed following their public unfollowing online. 6 Helen was snapped as she headed back to her car after visiting the shops Credit: mancpicss66

The pretty twin beach villages in the ‘forgotten corner' of Cornwall
Plus, the other village in Cornwall that has been compared to Santorini COR BLIMEY The pretty twin beach villages in the 'forgotten corner' of Cornwall Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BEAUTIFUL beaches and charming coastal cottages are what you'll find in Kingsand and Cawsand . The villages in Cornwall are found in a 'forgotten corner' of the coast and while they are now twinned, were once in separate counties. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Kingsand and Cawsand are twin villages in Cornwall Credit: Alamy 4 They're found in the forgotten corner of the country on the Rame Peninsula Credit: Alamy Kingsand and Cawsand sit side by side on the south east of the county. They are often described as being in the 'forgotten corner' due to their secluded location on the Rame Peninsula. The adjoining villages aren't visited by tourists as much as the likes of St Ives, Port Isaac, Mevagissey, and Mousehole. But both villages have beautiful shingle beaches and cosy looking cottages. The banks of Cawsand have plenty of rockpools to explore, and when the sea is calm, boats can be hired for another adventure. One visitor wrote on Tripadvisor: "To get to the beach you walk through beautiful little coloured cottages and a gorgeous town square. "The beach was clean and well kept, very safe for the children as it was within a bay so there were no rips." During the summer season, a vintage ice cream called Cawsand Bay Vintage Scoops on the promenade next to Cawsand beach to serve iced treats. The village of Kingsand has another of the area's favourite beaches. The bay is well sheltered so it's perfect for swimming, and it's dog-friendly all year round. Pub With A 'Floating' Beer Garden By The Beach 4 The beaches on both villages have classic shingle shores Credit: Alamy The beach is surrounded by pubs, making it a great spot for holidaymakers, popular spots include the The Devenport Inn and The Halfway House Inn. The two village were historically separated by a stream, with Kingsand in Devon and Cawsand in Cornwall. This division continued until 1844, when the boundary was adjusted, and Kingsand officially became part of Cornwall as well. Both have a rich history of smuggling and fishing, you can even see remains of old pilchard cellars from the late 16th century on the shoreline beyond Kingsand. Further along the coastline is another tiny Cornish village that's been called the UK's answer to Greece. Polperro has white-washed cottages and in the summertime, a bright turquoise sea which has led to it being compared to Santorini. Quaint cottages sit in the hillsides and fishing boats bob in the harbour which further paints the image of Greece. In the village there are steep streets to amble down filled with charming houses, shops and galleries. And another Cornish village compared to Greece with seafront Roman attraction and one of the UK's warmest beaches. Plus an English village that's the 'quiet side of Cornwall' has A-list holidaymakers and no cars.
