Helen Skelton's fans say 'wonder they get it from' as she shares sweet updates on her kids

Helen Skelton has shared a sweet update on her young children. The Countryfile host is a doting mum to two sons Ernie, eight, Louis, five, and one-year-old daughter Elsie who she shares with ex-husband Richie Myler.

The former couple surprised fans when they confirmed their split in April last year months after they welcomed their third child together.

The pair have since moved on as Helen made it all the way to the final of BBC hit show Strictly Come Dancing alongside professional dancer Gorka Marquez.

Helen also picked up a string of other hosting gigs and shows alongside her already successful TV and radio career. Away from our TV screens Helen has been sharing regular updates on her three youngsters.

Earlier this week, she took to Instagram with a snap of her son Ernie ready for a messy bike ride as he posed with his arms crossed in a full bike helmet and goggles, MEN reports.

"Never dull……." Helen started to type alongside the snap. "True story he came with me to work one day and blagged a bike. Hasn’t been off it since," she added alongside a number of hashtags including one that read 'my boy'.

Helen has since returned to social media with a photo of little Elsie who appears as inquisitive as her older siblings as she was seen standing on what appeared to be a dog bed to get a closer look at the goldfish which was swimming inside a tank placed on top of a sideboard.

"Sums. Her. Up." Helen wrote alongside the hilarious image before jokingly adding: "Pray for Kevin." And fans weren't surprised to see Helen's daughter in such a predicament as her celebrity pals also shared messages in the comments section.

While former Coronation Street star Catherine Tyldesley posted a string of crying laughing emojis, TV presenter Steph McGovern wrote: "I love Elsie." Fellow Coutnryfile presenter Julia Bradbury also laughed and said: "Bit of climbing... Hi girl!" as ex-Blue Peter host Ayo Akinwolere said: "Not like a child of yours to be doing things beyond their years - chip off the ol block."

Meanwhile, @ruthmillseymoo commented: "She has fire in her belly. Wonder where she gets that from?" @go_p55 laughed: "Like mother like daughter." @sarah.herrmann typed: "I’ve seen that determined looked before !!! @helenskelton." @tmatti777 replied: "I wonder where she gets it from." @eolascentre added: "Ah she’s her mothers daughter."
