Helen Skelton loves being back in the countryside
The ‘Countryfile’ presenter - who is currently competing on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ - is finding rural life “joyous” after she moved back in her with parents following the revelation her 32-year-old rugby player ex was expecting another baby with his new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill.
The 39-year-old broadcaster told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “I am literally in my childhood Cumbrian village with all my school friends, and so everyone just kind of mucks in together.
“I can get up in my pyjamas, pull my boots on, pull my dad’s coat on, walk across the fields with the dog and what a joyous way to start the day.”
Helen told the outlet she and her children - Ernie, seven, Louis, five, and Elsie, nine months - are “really happy and that’s all that really matters” and that she has not keen on getting back into the dating game as she “has loads to be thankful for” as she is focusing on her kids.
After taking to the dancefloor on Saturday night (15.10.2022) and getting their feedback from the judging panel of Craig Revel-Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke, the BBC Radio 5 Live DJ’s professional partner Gorka Marquez gushed about how much he “believed” in her.
The 32-year-old dancer said: “Can I just say something? I know you [Helen] have been having a difficult time and I know you’ve been made to feel like you’re not beautiful or good enough or anything, but if you don’t believe in yourself, I believe in you.
He added: “Everybody here believes in you, your family believes in you,” before being met with cheers and applause from the live studio audience of the BBC One Latin and ballroom competition.
