Helen Skelton 'much happier' as she stuns in new dress on TV return after split

Fans are overjoyed to see presenter Helen Skelton back on screen and said she seemed "so much happier" in the new series - her first TV series since splitting from her husband.

The 38-year-old is hosting popular Channel 5 show Summer on the Farm live from Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley this week alongside co-star Martin Hughes-Games and people are absolutely loving it. Tonight, the Carlisle-born mum-of-three stunned in a beautiful leopard print dress which she accessorised with brown leather sandals and golden jewellery.

Her outfit certainly caught the attention of the audience, with some left wondering where they could buy it from. Viewer Tom Franks even went so far as to query on behalf of his wife to "score some brownie points".

Others agreed that Helen seemed more upbeat, with one even spotting her unscripted dig over the shock resignation of Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid live on air.

Peter H Todd tweeted: "Great gag by @HelenSkelton. HELEN: Martin, are you going to resign? Well, everyone else is, but we're here all week!"

The new series of Summer On The Farm, filmed in South Yorkshire, comes after Helen announced she and husband Richie Myler, with whom she has three children, had decided to part ways.

She said at the time: "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."

Summer on the Farm 2022 is on until Friday, July 8 every night at 8pm on Channel 5.
