Leeds Rhinos star, Richie Myler, has shared some words of encouragement from his new girlfriend, Stephanie Thirkhill, following his team's Super League Grand Final defeat to St Helens.
Richie shared the posts on his Instagram stories last night, at the same time as ex, Helen Skelton, was strutting her stuff on the Strictly dancefloor. Helen and Richie split in April this year, after eight years of marriage. Since the split, Helen has thrown herself into other projects - including her Strictly Come Dancing debut - while Richie has flaunted his new relationship on social media.
Last night, as the Leeds Rhinos suffered a blistering defeat on the pitch, Helen was wowing judges with her American Smooth - alongside pro partner, Gorka Marquez. And fans wasted no time in celebrating Helen's success in the face of Richie's defeat.
