Helen Skelton has been spotted for the first time without her wedding ring since splitting from her husband.
The Countryfile presenter, 38, was left devastated earlier this month after her husband Richard Myler left their home just four months after she gave birth.
Helen had been with her husband for nine years and the pair share three children together - four-month-old Elsie Kate, Louis (four) and six-year-old Ernie.
It was recently reported by The Sun that Richie has "started a romance" with a new woman just weeks after the split.
In photos taken earlier this week, Helen was seen talking on the phone near her home in Leeds with her hand no longer sporting a wedding ring.
Helen previously shared the news of her separation from Richie on Instagram and wrote: "Very sad to say that 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."
It came shortly after Helen shared a cryptic quote about the struggles of motherhood.
Helen appeared to suggest she was having a tough time when she re-shared: "A mama is always full of emotions, full of love, full of anxiety and worries, full of exhaustion and lack of energy, full of mum guilt and doubt, full of pride in her kids, full of pure joy.
"She feels it all, that’s the beauty of her, she carries it all too, and yet she gets up every day and does it all over again."
Richie has also been pictured without his wedding ring.
The couple welcomed their third child - and first daughter - Elsie Kate on December 31.
They took to Instagram to share the happy news as Richie carried Elsie out of hospital.
Can always count on dickie …. of all the things he’s said (there’s been a lot) “don’t worry I will be your lido…” while on route to hospital might be my fave. The man meant Doula. From the mouths of men," Helen penned at the time.
"But mainly because I am still failing to find appropriate words of thanks for our @nhsengland @nhsmillion …. legends the blooming lot of them," she added.
The former couple first met through friends and began dating in 2011, marrying just two years later in December 2013.
They moved to France in 2015 after rugby player Richie played for the Catalan Dragons, but later returned to the UK to live in Leeds.
