Helen Skelton has wowed her fans by recently showing off her wakeboarding skills.
The 39-year-old TV presenter, best known for stints on Countryfile and On The Farm, has been enjoying the UK heatwave recently. The Strictly 2022 runner up took her son Ernie out for a day of water sports in The Lake District, Cumbria.
The mother-of-three to Ernie, Elsie, and Louise, proved she is a confident water sports enthusiast. Helen was supporting her eldest child on the water and said she was a "proud mum" when Ernie was able to surf on the sea after his first time trying.
And taking to social media, the TV presenter showed she was just as happy to jump in the lake as she was to stand on board a boat to support her son. Helen shared a photo of herself wearing a bikini and standing on the back of a speedboat.
Ernie, meanwhile, was expertly standing on a wakeboard and following the boat as it sped along. Helen also shared video footage from the day of adventure, sharing a post from Ullswater Wake & Surf that showed her and her son on the water together.
The surf hire shared clips of Helen and Ernie's day out, and said: "What a blast we had this week with @helenskelton and her little boy Ernie. Would you believe we had him surfing on his very first time and he’s just turned 7! Way to go buddy."
Helen's fans were warmed to see her and her son enjoying time in the sun together, and couldn't help but comment how "beautiful" their day out looked. One fan wrote: "Wow this is awesome you give your children the most amazing times and being a single parent you are super-mum we all here think you’re amazing.
One commented: "The look of pride is so beautiful. Well done Ernie and your fantastic mummy Helen."
While a further fan branded the cute mother and son moment as: "Absolutely beautiful." Last year, Helen was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing - a competition she decided to throw herself into following the collapse of her marriage to Richie.
The Countryfile star said her time on the dancefloor did wonders for her self esteem, telling the Radio Times last December: "I've definitely found my confidence on that dancefloor and I enjoy it, and that's what it was about. I think every week, we get so many messages from people who share things about their life and that's the ultimate humbling thing.
"It's a privilege to be in people's living rooms on a Saturday night and it's a privilege when they share things and if one person has thought, 'Oh, I'm going to put myself out of my comfort zone,' or 'I'm going to take on something difficult,' that we've done our job."
