Helen Skelton wishes 'luck and love' to her 'baby boy' as he hits important life milestone

Helen Skelton has shared a touching post praising her son’s "supportive" teachers as he celebrated a big milestone.

The TV star is enjoying her first summer as a single woman following the breakdown of her marriage to Richie Myler. Helen shares three children with her estranged husband, including their five-year-old son Louis.

She and Richie shocked fans when they announced their split in April of this year. He left the family home just four months after Helen gave birth to their third child.

Richie has since moved on and is dating Stephanie Thirkill - the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill. After the difficult few months Helen has now thanked Louis’ teachers for their help and support as he finished reception school.

Posting a picture of Louis and one of his teachers on her Instagram Story, Helen wrote: "Love and luck school leavers," followed by a red heart emoji. "Baby boy finished reception," she continued, before adding: "Grateful for amazing teachers and support staff."

Helen's post comes days after Richie made a brutal dig about his marriage to Helen as he posted a loved-up holiday snap of him and his new girlfriend in Cornwall.

On his Instagram account Richie shared a picture of himself with his arm wrapped around Stephanie Thirkill, as she put her arms around his waist and shoulder. The pair beamed at the camera during their break to Cornwal

In the caption, the Rugby player wrote: "Cornwall... Was worth a 32 year wait", followed by emojis of the sun and a love heart. Stephanie commented on the post: "Thanks for the best weekend! LOVE YOU."
