Helen Skelton left confused by her children's 'unusual' drawings

Helen Skelton was left confused and laughing hysterically after discovering some unusual drawings left for her by her children.

The Countryfile presenter recently posted to her Instagram stories, some funny chalk drawings that she found outside her holiday home. In the video, Helen can be heard laughing heartily as she asks "what is that?"

The first drawing seems to be a rendering of a sheep, but it is not clear what the second shape is intended to be. Helen says in the video: "Look at the chalk drawings the kids did. Hold on, there's some over there and some over here! What is that?"

In her most recent Instagram post, Helen revealed that she is currently enjoying the summer holidays in Cumbria. She shared a sweet snap of her and baby Elsie in the pool, telling followers that they "wouldn't believe it" but the sunny setting was indeed in the north west.

In the post, Helen penned: "You wouldn’t believe it but it’s Cumbria hands up if you’re from the Eden Valley and spent your summers in an unheated outdoor pool??" Accompanied by a photo of her lifting baby Elsie out of the pool.

This comes just days after sources said that Helen, 39, was left "devastated" by a hurtful social media post from her ex, Richie Myler. The pair, who have three children together, split earlier this year after eight years of marriage.

Leeds Rhinos star Richie has recently been sharing photos from his own holiday to Cornwall, which he has been enjoying alongside new girlfriend, Stephanie Thirkill. In a recent post, he shared a photo of the couple and captioned that it had been "worth the 32 year wait".

Sources close to Helen have said that the comment left her "devastated". They said: "Helen is devastated. It's one thing knowing it's happening, but it's another thing actually seeing it. For him to post it all over Instagram has been hard. She feels like this is rubbing it in her face, and it's a knife to the heart. It just seems a bit insensitive."
