Helen Skelton gives candid answer as she addresses split from ex Richie Myler a year on

Helen Skelton has candidly shared a response to being on her split from her ex husband Richie Myler, a year on from making the sad announcement. The former Blue Peter presenter surprised her fans and followers when she confirmed her separation from the Leeds Rhino rugby star months after they welcomed their third child together.

The former couple, who tied the knot in 2013, announced their split a year ago this month (April), with Helen, 39, penning on her Instagram Story at the time: "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."

Months after sharing the news, Helen was thrust back into the spotlight when she decided to take part in Strictly Come Dancing. The TV star made it all the way to the final of the BBC One dance competition alongside her professional partner Gorka Marquez as she earned heaps of praise for not only her dancing skills but for coming out of her shell and embracing everything the show has to offer - including the sexy routines.
