Helen Skelton ditches her wedding ring as she steps out after split from husband Richie

Helen Skelton stepped out for the first time on Tuesday after announcing the end of her nine-year marriage with husband Richie Myler.

Wearing a top with the words 'One Love', the Countryfile star, 38, had ditched her wedding ring hours after announcing on Instagram rugby player Richie, 31, had moved out of their family home.

Helen had an animated phone call as she carried her four-month-old daughter, Elsie Kate, in Leeds in pictures obtained by MailOnline.

Cutting a casual figure, the presenter wore the striped top with baggy blue jeans and appeared deep in conversation.

She was also wearing black sandals and had her blonde hair tied up in a messy ponytail.

The star put on a brave face and was pictured smiling during the animated phone call.

Helen confirmed her split from her rugby player husband in a statement on her Instagram Stories on Monday.

The couple - who married in 2013 - share three children together, including Ernie, six, and Louis, four.

Helen and Richie welcomed little Elsie four months ago.

The 38-year-old TV star revealed her husband Richie had 'left the family home' as she opened up about her heartbreak.

In her short statement, Helen penned: "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."

Her statement on social media came shortly after she shared a quote about the struggles of motherhood.

The Countryfile star appeared to suggest she was having a tough time when she re-shared: "A mama is always full of emotions, full of love, 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."

Richie has yet to speak about their separation.

In December 2021, Helen and Richie welcomed Elsie but didn't announce the happy news for a week.

Alongside the photo of Richie, Helen wrote: "Can always count on dickie .... of all the things he’s said (there’s been a lot) “don’t worry I will be your lido...” while on route to hospital might be my fave.

"The man meant Doula. From the mouths of men. (pic from earlier this week - just haven’t posted partly because my mam likes the family what’s apps to be ahead of insta but mainly because I am still failing to find appropriate words of thanks for our @nhsenglan d @nhsmillion.... legends the blooming lot of them)."
