She had no concerns about being on the show
Strictly's Helen Skelton was not concerned about coming into the show "baring her soul" after the sudden end to her eight-year marriage left her "battle-hardened". The Countryfile presenter, 39, was said to have been blindsided after her husband, Leeds Rhinos star Richie Myler, left the family home in April.
Soon after ending his relationship with Helen, Richie began a relationship with Stephanie Thirkill, 32, whose dad is Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill, and news of their pregnancy surfaced in October. “I came into this show quite battle-hardened," she admitted.“Strictly is probably quite overwhelming for a lot of people but for me, weirdly, I was actually in the best place to be in it.
