Helen Skelton has delighted fans with an update of life at home with her three young children in an adorable snap following the news that her estranged husband Richie Myler is expecting a baby with his new girlfriend.
The Countryfile star uploaded a snap of her three children as the two boys played a video game and Elsie Kate watched on. She shared the insight with her 352,000 Instagram followers via her stories, captioning the post: "A life with brothers."
It comes after it was reported earlier today that the father of Helen's children, Richie Myler, is allegedly having another baby with his new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill.

The rugby player, 32, broke up with ex-Blue Peter presenter Helen just four months after she gave birth to their third child, back in April. Richie's friends have said he's "thrilled" to be expecting with Stephanie as their newfound romance continues.
Helen, 39, is reportedly maintaining 'cordial relations' with her ex, while she appears on Strictly Come Dancing, learning the news before the couple announced the news on Instagram. Richie's friend told The Sun : “The timing of the pregnancy may raise a few eyebrows though. It is obviously such a huge step, and one made remarkably quickly off the back of Helen and Richie’s eight-year marriage ending.
"But Richie and Helen maintain cordial relations, and in a way the timing is actually perfect as Helen is so happy at the moment," they said, reports The Mirror. The pal added: "She is loving every second of Strictly Come Dancing, and is far too busy — and probably knackered — to be worrying about her ex, accordingly, Richie didn’t think it would be a huge problem because they have both moved on with their lives."
Helen and Richie called it quits just months after Helen gave birth to their daughter. Fans were left shocked when the mum-of-three announced in an emotional Instagram post that the rugby player had left the family home.
The former Blue Peter presenter revealed the heartbreaking news to her 277,000 followers, saying: "Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children," along with two heartbroken emojis.
