The presenter was due to host the show which investigates how the ‘Beast from the East’ is affecting Britain, and why the weather is still catching people out.
But the 34-year-old told her 78,000 Instagram followers the show was in jeopardy due to the extreme weather conditions and snow storm Emma.
Helen Skelton filmed herself attempting to make her way to work and admitted the snow was causing “chaos” for her.
Wearing a thick black coat, bobble hat and scarf, the stunner said: “There may or may not be a programme on ITV at half seven tonight about snow and the chaos it’s caused.”

It’ll happen if I can get to work
The Countryfile favourite was forced to abandon her route and walk on foot to the set.
She continued: “It’ll happen if I can get to work but I’m having to walk halfway there because it’s too snowy.”
Earlier in the day, she shared a snap of herself enjoying the snow with one of her sons.
She captioned the snap: “Little arctic adventurer... so I am supposed to go into work today... I knew I should have kept those cross country skis #scandistyle #snow #stormemma #beastfromtheeast #playtime.”
ITV appeared to confirm the show was still going ahead
Helen later dropped a hint she had arrived to her destination as she posted a picture promoting the show.
“@itvtonight 7.30pm. Britain’s big chill xx,” she wrote.
ITV also posted a photo on their Twitter page and said: “Coming up this evening. @HelenSkelton reports on, Snowstorm: Britain’s Big Chill on @ITV at 7:30pm.”
It hasn’t been a great week for Helen as she faced major problems last night.
Taking to Instagram, Helen revealed she was having a nightmare journey home after the temperatures plummeted and snow hit.
The BBC star had to flee her car and travel home walking through a dark, empty street.
Sharing a clip of her awful commute, she said: “Car got stuck… fresh walk home.”
Tonight - Snowstorm: Britain’s Big Chill airs tonight on ITV at 7.30pm.
