Helen Skelton's heartbreak as husband Richie Myler leaves family home

TV presenter Helen Skelton has said she and her husband Richie Myler are "no longer a couple".

The 38-year-old Countryfile and Blue Peter star announced the news in a post on her Instagram stories on Monday night. She wrote: "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 added two broken-heart emojis. Richie has not commented on the split.

Helen and 31-year-old rugby league player Richie have three children - sons Ernie and Louis, and baby daughter Elsie Kate, who was born in December last year.

Earlier on Monday, Helen shared a post about the struggles of motherhood. It read: "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."

Helen and Richie married in December 2013. Helen told Hello! magazine in January: "I was convinced I was having a girl. Now I am totally embracing the pink. With a rugby player and two feral boys, my world is testosterone-filled enough."
