Helen Skelton has opened up about the funny, and sometimes painfully honest, side of parenting, recalling a moment with her son that left him completely embarrassed. The TV presenter, 41, is mum to Ernie, nine, Louis, eight, and four-year-old Elsie, whom she shares with her ex-husband Richie Myler.
In a candid chat on The Runna podcast, Helen spoke about the emotional ups and downs of raising kids, especially post-divorce, and made a touching – if slightly sad – confession. “This is really sad but when you have kids, you just really want them to like you,” she admitted. “It’s a weird thing, but you’re like: ‘I love you so much, just like me.’”
