Helen Skelton Sparks Excitement with Heartwarming Snapshot of Her Three Children
The ex-Strictly star has three children whom she shares with her former husband, Richie Myler.
Over the weekend, Helen Skelton, known for her role on Countryfile, brought joy to her fans by sharing a heartwarming snapshot featuring all three of her children.
Sharing the moment on Instagram this Saturday, the devoted mother offered a peek into her half-term break, which kicked off with a delightful visit to a pumpkin patch.
In the photos posted on the social media platform, the 40-year-old Helen is captured with a radiant smile, surrounded by her adorable brood. Her happiness was palpable as she sat on a hay bale with little Elsie nestled on her lap.
Her two boys, eight-year-old Ernie and six-year-old Louis, also joined in the autumnal family adventure, clearly relishing the experience. The scene was adorned with three enormous pumpkins and an impressive-looking scarecrow, adding to the festive atmosphere.
On this special occasion, Helen exuded her trademark style in a pair of slim-fit jeans, a cosy jacket, an elegant beige scarf, and a sporty baseball cap. Her ensemble was elevated with a stunning pair of lace-up khaki outdoor boots and some bold silver hoop earrings. Absolutely impeccable!
Resembling a spitting image of her mother, little Elsie looked utterly endearing in a lavender top, a fluffy beanie, and a cotton candy pink, plush gilet. Meanwhile, Helen’s two boys appeared as shy as ever in shorts and snug jackets.
“Swipe for a dose of comfort,” Helen playfully remarked in her caption. She went on to say, “P.S. Where did the turnips disappear to? #pumpkin #autumn #halfterm #weekends #freshair.”
Fans and friends wasted no time in filling the comments section with heartwarming messages. One wrote, “What a delightful crew you have! Truly magical.” Another joined in, saying, “You all look so lovely at the pumpkin picking.”
A third observer noted, “Ha ha… Love the candid shots too! Seems like you had a blast,” and a fourth tenderly added, “You have a beautiful family,” accompanied by a pair of affectionate red hearts.
Helen’s joyful family pictures follow her decision to step down from her BBC Radio 5 role, prioritising more time with her little ones.
When announcing her departure from the show to co-host Lloyd Griffith, Helen expressed, “I’m not completely okay with it, but, you know, it’s what’s necessary. Balancing act is real. There’s an eight-year-old with a hobby who needs me. I’ve cherished every moment of the past year… Thank you to the entire team and thanks to all of you. It’s hard to find the right words without becoming emotional.”
The TV personality shares parenting responsibilities with her ex-husband, Richie Myler. The former couple parted ways in April 2022, shortly after Helen welcomed their youngest, Elsie.
During their separation, Helen posted a message on social media which read, “Very sad to say Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children.”
