Helen Skelton's TV company 'halves in value' after her property firm with ex Richie Myler was threatened with closure

Strictly Come Dancing’s Helen Skelton has seen her TV company halve in value in the past year. The 39-year-old started firm Skelton Productions Limited to manage income from her television work.

According to Companies House documents, Skelton Productions Limited, owned entirely by Helen, saw its equity slide from £348,305 to £168,960 in the 12 months to October last year.

While the business still has healthy assets of nearly £434,000, including £378,195 in cash, it owes creditors £265,818, reducing its overall value.

The document shows that in 2021, she paid £37,350 in Corporation Tax – so her income was around five times that sum, but in the previous 12-month period, she paid the tax office £94,039, meaning she earned more than £470,000, Daily Mail reports.

It comes just weeks after her property firm, which was set up with her ex Richie, has been threatened with closure, after it failed to file legally required accounts.

The Countryfile presenter, and her recently estranged husband, 32, are facing the forced closure of their business Myler Properties LLP, after it failed to file legally required accounts.

The company - which was set up in January 2020, when they were still together - has been warned of an impending 'compulsory strike off' order, which would necessitate it to be shut down.

Helen and Richie have until 6 November to successfully show cause that Myler Properties LLP should not be struck off.

Documents just published show Myler Properties LLP has failed to produce accounts showing the partnership's income and expenditure, which were due to be lodged in January.

As a result, assets held by the company could be seized and the business could also face a fine of £1,500 for not filing accounts.

Companies House Rules say: "Not filing your confirmation statements, annual returns or accounts is a criminal offence - and directors or LLP designated members could be personally fined in the criminal courts."
