Claims have been made that TV star Helen Skelton employed a private eye in the weeks before her Leeds Rhinos husband left her after nine years of marriage.
Helen, 38, revealed on social media last month that her husband, Richie Myler, 31, had left the family home. She is said to be completely 'bewildered' by the split, which comes just four months after she gave birth to their daughter.
Last week it emerged the rugby player was in a new relationship with a Stephanie Thirkill, 32, the daughter of his club's chairman, just weeks after the marriage ended. It has been stressed there was no "crossover".
