Strictly star Helen Skelton's very public marriage break up

TV star Helen Skeleton, who is set to appear on the 2022 series of Strictly Come Dancing has recently separated from her husband just months after the birth of their third child. Helen was married to professional rugby player Richard Myler.

The couple announced their separation in April 2022. Helen posted a statement on her Instagram. She wrote: "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 our small children."

Skelton married England rugby star Myler in 2013. They have three children together, Ernie, six, Louis, five, and four-month-old Elsie Kate.

The latest message came just hours after Skeleton had shared a lengthy message about some of the struggles of motherhood. She wrote: "A mama is always full of emotions. Full of love. Full of anxiety and worries. Full of exhaustion and lack of energy. Full of mum guilt and doubt. Full of pride in her kids. Full of pure joy.

"She feels it all, that's the beauty of her, she carries it all, too. And yet she gets up every day and does it all over again."

Soon after announcing the split Skelton was missing from Countryfile, a show she co-presents. It has been reported that Myler is now in a new relationship with a "young businesswoman". The Sun quoted a "source" as saying: "Richie (Myler) appears to have been spending a lot of his free time with this younger, successful businesswoman. They are now in the early stages of a relationship."

Skeleton has not publicly spoken about the divorce since and has recently announced that she is joining the Strictly Come Dancing 2022 line-up.
