Helen Skelton treats her kids to a trip to London as ex Richie Myler welcomes new baby

Helen Skelton treated her children to a fun-filled weekend in London while her ex Richie Myler reportedly welcomed a new baby into his life.

The Countryfile presenter, 39, shares three children with her estranged husband - Ernie, Louis and baby Elsie.

Strictly Come Dancing star Helen announced her split from Richie in April last year, four months after welcoming their daughter Elsie together.

Over the weekend, it was reported that Richie became a dad again as his girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill gave birth.

The 32-year-old reportedly missed out on his team Leeds Rhinos' match against Hull Kingston Rovers on Friday evening due to the arrival of his fourth child.

In the meantime, Helen was busy treating her children to an exciting trip to London.

The star took to her Instagram Stories to share the activities they have been taking part in.

Helen shared a lovely picture of her son enjoying a little rock climbing in the park.

"Even in central London he finds places to climb," she captioned the post.

One picture showed Helen smiling for the camera as she walked through KidZania in Westfield centre.

The Indoor centre has building replicas where children can play at careers like firefighters or dentists.

Helen seemed carefree as she carried a giant rucksack on her back as well as a Gucci bumbag.

After a long day of games and exploring, they ended their trip with a meal at a restaurant.

However, little Elsie looked distracted by the endless sights and smells of the establishment.

"Standard... one shoe lost. Flirting with the restaurant," she said.

Earlier, it was reported that the Leeds Rhinos boss confirmed the birth of Richie's new baby.

The Rhinos boss said: " Richie has spent a bunch of time in hospital with the birth of his new little baby, so we've given him a little time off to settle in at home."

It comes after it was revealed Richie and Stephanie were expecting their first child together following his split from Helen.

A mate of Richie's previously told The Sun the rugby player and Stephanie are extremely happy together.

“The timing of the pregnancy may raise a few eyebrows though. It is obviously such a huge step, and one made remarkably quickly off the back of Helen and Richie’s eight-year marriage ending.

"But Richie and Helen maintain cordial relations, and in a way the timing is actually perfect as Helen is so happy at the moment," they said.
