Helen Skelton has reportedly signed up to take part in Strictly Come Dancing, following her shock split from husband Richie Myler earlier this year. The 39 year old TV host is said to be the latest celebrity to join this year's line-up, alongside the likes of Kym Marsh and Will Mellor, according to The Sun. A source said: “It’s the perfect way to bounce back.
Most people are absolutely desperate to avoid the Strictly curse but Helen would love it to give her some confidence back. “She’s a great signing for the show and enormously popular with viewers, especially after what has happened to her lately. “Everyone on the inside thinks she could end up going a very long way.” Helen announced her split from rugby player Richie, 32, back in April, just four months after she gave birth to the couple's third child.
She announced the sad news on Instagram, saying: "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." The dad-of-three has since gone public with his new girlfriend, Stephanie Thirkill, and has shared a series of loved-up snaps on social media of the pair.
Helen and Richie tied the knot in 2013, and they went on to welcome three children together - Ernie, seven, Louise, five, and baby daughter Elsie Kate. Become an OK!
