Presenter Helen Skelton has apparently been left "devastated" after ex-husband Richie Myler posted photos of his romantic getaway with his new girlfriend online.
The couple split in April just months after Helen gave birth to their third child. Leeds Rhinos player Richie has since moved on, with his new partner Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill.
Last week, Richie, 32, shared pictures of their holiday in Padstow, Cornwall, which shows the duo hugging and smiling. Captioning one of the pictures, he wrote: "Was worth the 32 year wait."

Richie restricted who was able to comment on the post, but Stephanie replied gushing: "Thanks for the best weekend! LOVE YOU".
Sources now suggest that Countryfile star Helen, 39, has been left "devastated" over the "insensitive" post, the Mirror reports.
They told new! magazine: "Helen is devastated. It's one thing knowing it's happening, but it's another thing actually seeing it. For him to post it all over Instagram has been hard.
"She feels like this is rubbing it in her face, and it's a knife to the heart. It just seems a bit insensitive."
The insider also added that while Helen has kept a "dignified silence" following the breakup, her friends have rallied round to support her. Since the split, Helen has been throwing herself into work as she adjusts to life as a busy working single mum to Ernie, seven, Louis, five, and seven-month-old Elsie Kate.
And, although her pals are keen for her to find love again, Helen is not quite ready. The source explained: "She's focusing on the kids and work. She's not ready to get back out there on the dating scene but her friends would like her to meet someone."
The Mirror has contacted Helen's representatives for comment.
The former Blue Peter star announced the breakup with a brief statement in April. Writing on her Instagram stories, she said: "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 out small children." followed by two broken heart emojis.
It comes after Helen opened up about being scammed out of £70,000.
