Strictly’s Helen Skelton has taken to social media following her split from Richie Myler and offered some advice to parents when children go a "bit feral" during summer holidays.
The TV presenter opened up to her Instagram followers and admitted that she was “sick” of having to plead with her children not to fight.
And in a bid to curb her children’s fighting in their summer holidays, Helen recommended using some specific school-related toys that will help desperate parents in these last few weeks of the holiday, Express reports.

Surrounded by the toys she is speaking about, the 39-year-old said: “I’m sick of having to say ‘please don’t fight, please don’t fight, please don’t fight."
She went on to speak directly with other parents, saying: “It is that time of year towards the end of the school holidays they all get a bit feral don’t they.”
The Countryfile presenter's video comes a few months after she admitted that her life was currently “chaos” after splitting from Myler after eight years of marriage.
Appearing on an episode of ITV’s Lorraine back in July, Skelton seemed flustered having to rush off mid-interview to control her barking dog.
“Helen, it's so good to see you. You've had a bit of a rough time, I know. But the best way to get over stuff is to just get out there again - out there working,” Lorraine began.
Before Skelton replied: “I think anybody in my position would say the same," as her dogs began to bark in the background. "I've got three small children and a very loud dog as you can hear.” Turning to her dog, Helen said: “Stop it! They time it perfectly, don't they?!”
Smiling away, the star went on to say how she has roped in her mother to help with her and Myler’s three young children Ernie, seven, and Louis, five and baby Elsie, six days of the week whilst she returns to work.
“Monday morning when you've got to get the kids to school is just... It's the same drill every day but somehow it's always chaos!” Skelton continued to explain to the daytime presenter.
“Get the socks on, get their shoes on, where's their school bags?! So mum's in control but she forgot to put her granny magic onto the dogs, sorry!”
