Helen Skelton's heartwarming post after ex calls new girlfriend 'family'

Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton has shared an adorable snap of two of her children following her Strictly Come Dancing debut.

The mum-of-three and professional dance partner Gorka Márquez wowed judges with the American Smooth and were placed 6th on the leaderboard with a ­respectable score of 26 on Saturday. Yesterday evening, she posted a snap of her sons being "besties" just hours after her estranged husband Richie Myler, 32, referred to his new girlfriend as "family".

Rugby star Richie, who is now dating Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill, posted on his Instagram stories while Helen was competing on the BBC show. Alongside the photograph in which Richie is pictured with Stephanie, 32, he wrote: "Finished this season as a family [love heart emoji]."
