Strictly's Helen Skelton was not concerned about coming into the show "baring her soul" after the sudden end to her eight-year marriage left her "battle-hardened". The Countryfile presenter, 39, was said to have been blindsided after her husband, Leeds Rhinos star Richie Myler, left the family home in April.
This came at a time when their youngest, Elsie Kate, was just four months old, reports Chronicle Live. Richie and Helen, who wed in 2013, are also parents to seven-year-old Ernie and five-year-old Louis.
Soon after ending his relationship with Helen, Richie began a relationship with Stephanie Thirkill, 32, whose dad is Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill, and news of their pregnancy surfaced in October. “I came into this show quite battle-hardened," she admitted.
