Helen Skelton made a well-received return to TV presenting duties after splitting from her husband Richie Myler last month - though it wasn't without some criticism.
The presenter shared the news of the split in a statement on her Instagram page in April and took some time away from TV to focus on herself. It was later revealed that Leeds Rhino player Richie, 31, was now dating Stephanie Thirkill, 32.
It was later announced that Helen Skelton had landed the job of hosting Channel 4's rugby league coverage and she made her first appearance in the role during today's match between Hull KR v Catalan Dragons on Channel 4 today (Saturday).

The 38-year-old is leading the coverage in the absence of presenter Adam Hills, who is currently in Australia. While the return was greatly received by most viewers, one element of Helen's discussions stuck in the teeth of some Hull KR fans.
On a few occasions she referred to the club simply as Hull, which frustrated fans who insisted on being differentiated between rival club Hull F.C.
Twitter user @lee_redrobin wrote: "Please get Helen Skelton to say Hull KR not Hull!!!!! Very annoying for a Hull K R supporter."
@NoodlesHull wrote: "Stop calling Hull KR Hull, they are Rovers. Hull FC are Hull. You are unwittingly annoying rugby fans in Hull from both sides! Hull play Wigan this afternoon but you are covering Rovers against Catalans!"
Fans were largely supportive of the presenter's return though and took to social media to share their thoughts.
"Great to see Helen Skelton is still presenting the Rugby League on Channel 4," one impressed fan said. "I'm sure it can't be easy for her given recent events but she always does a great job because she's a top quality professional."
One user said: "I do love @HelenSkelton! Fantastic presenter and is so passionate about our ace game."
Helen and Richie's split comes just four months after the pair welcomed the birth of their third child, Elsie Kate. The couple are also parents to sons, Ernie, six, and Louis, four.
In her short statement after their split, Helen penned to fans: "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."
