Helen Skelton seen looking emotional as ex-husband 'expecting baby with girlfriend'

Helen Skelton's ex-husband Richie Myler has shared a rare family snap with his children to Instagram, following the news that his new girlfriend is pregnant with his child. The 32 year old professional rugby league player enjoyed a day out with his mother, Margaret, and his and Helen's three children, Ernie, seven, Louis, five, and Elsie Kate, nine months. In one snap, Richie's children could be seen seated in a sports stadium, perhaps ready to watch their father play rugby, as in the second snap, Richie could be seen smiling next to his sons in his uniform.

Helen Skelton has spoken candidly about mum guilt and how she makes time for herself while parenting young kids. The Strictly Come Dancing star has had quite the time of things recently, after splitting with husband Richie Myler following eight years of marriage and three children together. Helen announced in April that her ex had ‘left the family home,’ four months after she gave birth.

Gorka Marquez called a halt to Saturday night's live Strictly Come Dancing to plead with celeb dance partner Helen Skelton to 'believe in you'. In emotional scenes Gorka took time out to praise former BBC presenter Helen as he addressed the 'difficult time' she's been having.

Helen Skelton remained tight-lipped following her performance on Strictly Come Dancing tonight. The usually jubilant former Blue Peter presenter, 39, was noticeably quieter following her epic dance. The TV star couldn't seem to hide her emotions following reports that her estranged husband is expecting a baby with his new girlfriend, just six months after their split.

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left feeling emotional after Gorka Márquez sweetly reassured his celebrity partner Helen Skelton on tonight's show. Gorka, 32, and Helen, 39, performed an incredible Paso Doble which saw them win huge praise from judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood. After receiving their scores, host Claudia Winkleman began chatting to the pair and Gorka soon asked if she could quickly say something to his partner.

Helen Skelton’s estranged husband Richie Myler seemingly hinted at his “family” news last month ahead of reports that he is expecting a child with his new partner Stephanie Thirkill. The pair are alleged to have announced their exciting news in a post shared on Stephanie’s private Instagram page and are reported to be “thrilled” about the occasion. And following the reports, it appears as though Richie, 32, seemingly hinted at the news in September after sharing an Instagram Story of him and his “family” - around the same time that Helen made her Strictly Come Dancing debut.
