Helen Skelton has revealed the final cover for her upcoming autobiography, In My Stride, on social media.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday (August 11), the former Strictly Come Dancing star shared a picture of the finished product, as she penned: "The final cover for In My Stride!"

She continued: "It's about putting one foot in front of the other and why taking on adventures can help all aspects of your life."

An official synopsis for the book, which is scheduled to be released on October 12, reads: "Helen Skelton is no stranger to doing hard things, from kayaking the entire length of the Amazon to competing in a boxing match for Sports Relief.

"Her ability to dig deep and find the inner strength and to carry on no matter the challenge – physical, mental, or emotional – is nothing short of remarkable."

The book will also likely highlight the high-profile breakup of her eight-year marriage to rugby player Richie Myler, with whom she has three children.

Myler is now in a new relationship and welcomed a baby girl one year after splitting with Skelton.

Following the arrival of Meyler's child, Skelton said in an interview with Grazia: "My life's no different to millions of other people’s lives. Lots of people have the same sorts of things to look after and sort out.

"I think life is fun, and short, and wonderful, and you just take each chapter as they come along. There’s no point overthinking stuff – you just get on with it."

The next chapter will see her appear alongside fellow presenter Dan Walker in Dan & Helen's Pennine Adventure.

The Channel 5 series will see the duo explore the 'Backbone of Britain', travelling from Walker's home in Sheffield to Skelton's home in Cumbria.

Dan & Helen’s Pennine Adventure comes to Channel 5 at 9pm on August 15.
