Helen Skelton's children Louis and Elsie showcase strong bond in heartwarming photo

TV presenter and Strictly star Helen Skelton has shared a touching moment between her two children Louis and Elsie.

Helen, 39, shared the sweet display of sibling love to her Instagram stories as she cheered on son Louis at his football match.

Six-year-old Louis could be seen gleefully hugging his younger sister Elsie, one. Whilst Louis looked thrilled to be supported by his youngest family member, Elsie looked less than happy with the squeeze from her older brother.

Helen joked about Elsie's mood as she shared the snap to her 471,000 followers and wrote: "She's meant to be supporting him. Big brother's biggest fan."

Toddler daughter Elsie looked adorable in the snap as she stood in a yellow rain mac and striped leggings. Older brother Louis wore his red and black football kit as he hugged his sister on the timelines.

Helen is a proud mum to sons Ernie and Louis and also daughter Elsie, who she shares with ex husband Richie Myler.

Earlier this month Helen shared another heartwarming family moment as Louis celebrated his sixth birthday, with Helen sharing a cute montage video of his birthday weekend.

Captioning the video, Helen wrote: "Long weekend of Birthday and Easter celebrations. This is 6.

"Proud and grateful Mum. Lou dog you rock mine and so many worlds.

"Shout out to super gran for the cake and so so much more."

Fans rushed in to share their birthday wishes for Louis and to congratulate Helen on her adorable family. Strictly partner Gorka Marquez commented: "Happy birthday to my little friend!!!"

Another fan wrote: "Wow that's gone fast! Happy birthday Louis."

A third added: "Helen you are an inspiration to all single mums out there, you are doing an amazing job, whilst working and looking after your lovely family. I know what it's like as I was a single parent of 3, all grown up now, but the benefits and rewards are worth every bit of it. I wish you all the best for your future happiness, you deserve it."

The touching family moments come just after it was reported that Helen is in talks to take up a presenting role on It Takes Two, replacing Rylan Clarke who resigned last month.

Helen, who made it to the Strictly finale with pro dancer Gorka Marquez last year, has reportedly been speaking with BBC bosses about a temporary role filling in for Janette Manrara – who is expecting her first child in the summer with dance pro hubby Aljaž Škorjanec.
