Strictly Come Dancing star, Helen Skelton, has reportedly sold a number of sentimental items that once belonged to her and ex, Richie Myler. The TV-presenter-turned-dancer is apparently in the process of clearing out the home that she shared with Richie, who has since settled down with a new girlfriend.
The sentimental items that belonged to Helen and Richie have reportedly been sold by Helen, while she was filming Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House. The couple split in April this year, after eight years of marriage, when Richie left the family home just months after Helen had given birth to their third child.
The couple share three children, Ernie, Louis and Elsie. Now, Richie is expecting a fourth child, with his girlfriend, Stephanie Thirkill.

Richie, who plays for Leeds Rhinos, coupled up with Stephanie - daughter of Rhinos owner, Andrew Thirkill - shortly after his split with Helen. Following the break-up, Helen had thrown herself into new projects - including her time on Strictly.
Now, the 39-year-old is flogging sentimental items that she once shared with Richie, in an episode that is set to air on Really on Monday. In the show, Helen sold off an antique vaulting horse which was given to her and Richie as a present at their December 2013 wedding, the Express reports.
The mum was also happy to ditch two Art Deco armchairs and a Victorian dentist chair. A source told The Sun: "Helen needed a huge sort out after the break-up and despite some of the items possessing many memories, she felt it was best she sold them on."
Speaking on the show, Helen said: "This is a great opportunity to get rid of a load of stuff." The Strictly star is said to have put 18 items up for auction which fetched a total of £965.
