Helen Skelton's estranged husband pictured for first time with 'new girlfriend'

Helen Skelton 's estranged husband Richie Myler and his reported new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill were seen enjoying a stroll on Monday.

Richie was pictured for the first time with Stephanie, 32, who he has reportedly embarked on a new relationship with.

Both have insisted they did not start a relationship until Richie had split from Helen.

It was announced last month that the rugby player, 31, and Helen, 38, split, with Richie leaving their family home.

A few weeks after their split, Richie and Stephanie were pictured together for the first time at a reservoir in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.

In snaps shared by The Sun, Stephanie rocked a casual look in a red hoodie and a pair of patterned black and white leggings.

She had her hair tied up in a messy bun and looked fresh-faced with no make-up.

Richie also kept it casual as he wore simple black shorts and a plain black hoodie over a white t-shirt.

A source claimed that the duo 'seemed really content together'.

"They wandered down to the reservoir before a peaceful stroll on one of the tracks in the late sunshine," they told the publication.

"You can get away from everything there."

It comes a few weeks after Countryfile presenter Helen announced the former couple's split on social media.

Her emotional Instagram post read: "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."

Helen and Richie tied the knot in 2013 and share three children together - four-month-old Elsie Kate, six-year-old Ernie and four-year-old Louis.

Richie reportedly first met Stephanie - who is the daughter of the multi-millionaire president of his club Leeds Rhinos - during a rugby dinner last year.

Helen was in the third trimester of her pregnancy at the time.

Richie plays as a scrum-half and fullback for the Leeds Rhinos.

At the end of April, TV presenter Helen was pictured engaged in a phone conversation while taking a walk.

Despite her heartbreak, Helen is preparing to make her return to the small screen and is "building her strength" for her Countryfile comeback after a short break.

Last week, it was revealed that Helen had landed a brand new TV gig - hosting Channel 4's rugby show Super League in June.
