Helen Skelton’s estranged husband Richie Myler enjoys romantic stroll with new 'girlfriend'

Helen Skelton ’s estranged husband Richie Myler enjoyed a romantic stroll with his reported new girlfriend on Monday.

Richie - who was married to Countryfile star Helen, 38, - was spotted for the first time with Stephanie Thirkill, 32, who he has reportedly embarked on a new relationship with.

The 31-year-old sports star split from Helen last month after eight years of marriage.

At the time, TV star Helen revealed that her Richie had 'left the family home' as she opened up about her heartbreak.

Their split comes just four-months after the pair welcomed their third child, Elsie Kate, and the pair are also proud parents to sons, Ernie, six, and Louis, four.

Just weeks after announcing their split, Richie has been spotted on a romantic stroll with Stephanie for the first time at a reservoir near her home in Harrogate, North Yorks.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, Stephanie - who daughter of the multi-millionaire president of Leeds Rhinos - looked casual in an oversized red hoodie and some patterned leggings.

The brunette beauty went makeup-free for the stroll and tied her hair back from her face in a messy bun.

Meanwhile, Richie also donned a dressed-down look as he rocked a pair of black shorts and a hoodie.
