MICHELLE Ackerley has been replaced by Helen Skelton on Morning Live for the past few days, and the presenter has finally revealed what she’s been up to.
The BBC One show host made a surprising post from South Carolina hinting at her new project.
In one image she stripped down alongside a familiar face – British muscle man Eddie Hall.
He is known for winning the World’s Strongest Man competition in 2017, as well as setting a world record with a deadlift in 2016.
The weightlifting champion grinned at the camera in her selfie while wearing a tiny pair of speedos.
She captioned the Instagram story: “We are working…honest.”
Another teaser simply showed off the American sunrise, but Michelle tagged the official account for The World’s Strongest Man.
From her hints it seems that the Morning Live presenter might be putting her hosting skills to work at the sporting event.
The annual competition gives strongmen worldwide a chance to test their physical and mental limits to prove their abilities.
Last year’s final also took place on Myrtle Beach in South Carolina and was won by Canadian kinesiologist Mitchell Hooper.
This year’s competition kicked off on May 1 and lasts until the 5th, which would explain Michelle’s absence from screens.
The World’s Strongest Man Instagram page posted a recent video where British bodybuilder Terry Hollands welcomed Eddie Hall to this year’s Globe Viking Press.
That particular challenge involves lifting a sphere weighing 150 pounds for as many reps as possible.
Terry explained that Eddie won that segment back in 2017, and it has not been part of the Strongman competition since – until now.
