(Picture: Helen Skelton)Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton has split from her husband Richie Myler.
The TV star, 38, announced the news just four months after she and the Leeds Rhinos rugby league player, 31, had their third child together.
She took to Instagram to announce the heart-breaking news to fans writing: “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.”
Skelton married Myler in 2013. They share three children together – Ernie, six, Louis, five and four-month-old Elsie Kate.
The shock announcement came hours after Skleton opened up about the struggles of motherhood in a lengthy Instagram message.
"A mama is always full of emotions. Full of love," the post read.
"Full of anxiety and worries. Full of exhaustion and lack of energy. Full of mum guilt and doubt. Full of pride in her kids. Full of pure joy.
"She feels it all, that’s the beauty of her, she carries it all, too.
"And yet she gets up every day and does it all over again."
Helen announced the birth of her third child Elsie Kate on New Year’s Eve.
She later revealed the reason behind her child’s middle name in an interview with Hello! Magazine.
She explained: "We were always going to have Kate as a middle name after my cousin, who sadly passed away when we were in our 20s.
"I was really close to her, she was a scientist and crazy cool."
