Strictly's Helen Skelton bribes son with £20 to get him to sleep in his own bed

Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton has revealed that her children still like to sleep in her bed - and she has tried to bribe her son with £20 to get him to sleep in his own room.

The 39-year-old, who shares her three children with ex-husband Richie Myler, says her littles ones find it difficult to sleep on their own and they always find themselves jumping into their mum's bed. The Countryfile presenter, who split from her husband earlier this year, has spoken about the joys and difficulties of motherhood as she continues to co-parent her kids - Ernie, 7, Louis, 5 , and Elsie, 10 months.

She said: "Mine are terrible sleepers, they like to sleep in my bed which isn’t good, but then other people will be like ‘well that isn’t good?’ Rather than ‘Oh that’s nice because they’ll be 18 soon!’
