Helen Skelton fans think they spot her ex Richie Myler as she shares snaps of daughter's 'chaotic' birthday party

Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton shared some photos of her daughter Elsie's first birthday party – and fans believed they 'spotted' her ex-husband Richie Myler in one of them.

On her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, the TV presenter posted pictures of a family birthday party. Alongside a photo of Elsie's friends in fancy dress, she wrote: "A wolf in a tantrum, a Spidergirl needing balloons and lost cricket gloves. All the chaos. All the love baby girl."

The picture included a man, who appeared similar to her ex Richie, reports The Mirror. Fans noted the man's hair and facial hair being similar to that of Richie's as some speculated they had reunited for their child's birthday bash.

Another picture showed what looked like a burnt beef burger patty, alongside the caption: "safe to say party food was up to the usual standard chez skelton". The new pictures come after Helen marked her daughter's first birthday with an emotional post after what has been a whirlwind year for the Countryfile star.

After giving birth to Elsie last December, Helen split from Richie four months later. She announced the break-up in a statement telling fans she was 'very sad'.

But months later, Helen threw herself back into work, launching her own Radio 5 Live weekend show and joining this year's Strictly Come Dancing - where she made it to the final.

On Wednesday, Helen celebrated her daughter's first birthday and shared a friend's tribute to the youngster on Instagram. Stevie Atkins, who is married to rugby player Ryan Atkins, wrote: "Happy first birthday to you Elsie. You are the most adorable little girl who stole our hearts the second we laid eyes on you. We hope your day is fun and everything you deserve it to be.

"All our love, hugs and kisses from Stevie, Ryan, Nala and Jada xxx." Stevie then added: "Happy birthing day to you too super mummy @helenskelton. Love you more than words can say. Have a glass of champagne for me too today, mwah x."
