Helen Skelton to host Channel 4 rugby league coverage this weekend

Helen Skelton will return to our television screens this weekend as she hosts the Channel 4 rugby league coverage.

Mum-of-three Helen is best known for presenting Countryfile but has not been seen on the BBC1 show since her split from Leeds Rhinos player Richie Myler. However, Helen is due back on TV this Saturday to present the Hull KR v Catalan Dragons game on Channel 4 from 1.15pm.

She is due to lead the coverage in the absence of presenter Adam Hills who is in Australia. And her return to TV comes after Helen posted on Instagram post, confirming Myler had left the family home.

Myler is now dating Stephanie Thirkill, daughter of his club's multi-millionaire president Andrew Thirkill. He made a return himself as he stepped back out for Rhinos following injury and he was heckled by rival fans.

Since the split Helen has not appeared on Countryfile but she has done some work, posting adverts on Insta. And in April she tookholiday with her children where they were seen giggling while playing in the pool and at the beach. Last week she attended an award ceremony.

A second follower added: "Your my fave presenter I watch everything you do so sorry your having a hard time x stay strong you lovely lady. "Hope u well love we are behind u xxx" added another social media user, followed by a string of heart emoji's.

"Great to see the smile back" encouraged another. And reports have also linked Helen to Strictly Come Dancing later this year. She has reportedly been put in the frame for a new batch of celebrities to appear on 2022's series of the hit dance show.
