Helen Skelton and her kids makes cameo on hit ITV show as fans do double take

Helen Skelton surprised fans when she made a surprise appearance on ITV's Ninja Warrior UK this weekend as she took her three children to see the filming of the obstacle course show.

The Countryfile star thanked presenters Rochelle Humes, Ben Shephard and Chris Kamara for having them as she was filmed alongside her three children Ernie, Louis and Elsie Kate.

The 39-year-old TV personality shared a "bts" snap with her 317k followers, after being treated to a tour by the show. It comes several months after her public split from estranged husband Richie Myler.

At the time, Helen shared a heart felt post about the stresses of motherhood as she adjusted to her new life as a single mum of three. The post read: "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."

Former Blue Peter presenter Helen has since seemed in good spirits as she has thrown herself back into work and enjoying the summer holidays with her children, family and friends as husband Richie moves on with his new girlfriend.

Sporting star Richie Myler has embarked on new relationship with Stephanie Thirkill, who is the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president, Andrew Thirkill. The pair have recently enjoyed a holiday together to Cornwall where Richie took the opportunity to take a savage swipe at his former wife.

The Leeds Rhinos star took to Instagram on Monday, July 25 to share a series of pictures from a romantic weekend away in Cornwall alongside his new partner. The pair looked smitten as they hugged each other as they smiled for the camera.

The pair looked smitten as they hugged each other as they smiled for the camera, Richie captioned the post: "Cornwall, was worth a 32 year wait" as he made a dig at his former partner.

Helen confirmed that Richie had moved out of the family home earlier this year on Instagram, she 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." The former couple share sons Ernie, seven, Myler, five, and daughter Elsie, seven months. Their youngest child, Elsie Kate, was just four months old at the time of the separation.
