Strictly's Helen Skelton shares emotional post on her baby's first birthday after whirlwind year

Helen Skelton has shared an emotional post marking her daughter's first birthday after what has been a whirlwind year for the former Blue Peter presenter. She split from her husband Richie Myler just four months after giving birth to daughter Elsie last December.

The Countryfile star, 39, revealed the shocking news in an Instagram statement telling fans she was 'very sad', reports The Mirror. However, only months later, Helen threw herself back into work, launching her own Radio 5 Live weekend show.

She also became a last minute addition to this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing - where she made it all the way to the final. But after a turbulent year, Helen has celebrated her daughter's first birthday and shared her pal's tribute to the tot on Instagram.
