Countryfile Star Helen Skelton Sparks Engagement Rumours with Mysterious Ring
Countryfile host Helen Skelton has been left fuming speculation about her relationship status after a large ring was spotted on her wedding finger in a video shared to Instagram. The 41-year-old presenter was seen sporting the eye-catching jewellery in a clip, posted by makeup artist Melissa Bourne, amidst hay bales and baby goats as she celebrated the eagerly awaited comeback of Channel 5 show Springtime On The Farm.
According to the Birmingham Mail, sharp-eyed fans noticed the stunning ring on her left hand’s fourth finger, sparking speculation among her followers about whether the mother-of-three might be newly engaged. One fan queried: "Is Helen engaged? She is wearing a ring on her wedding finger," while another pondered: "Maybe she is engaged."
The Birmingham Mail reports that Helen has not confirmed that she is currently seeing anyone. The presenter split from ex-husband Richie Myler, an ex professional rugby league player, in 2022 just months after they welcomed their third child together. They share children Ernie, nine, Louis, eight, and Elsie, three.
In her recent memoir, My Stride, Helen revealed that she was taken by complete surprise by the divorce. She wrote: "I was in shock. I know that following break-ups, people often say they didn’t see it coming and it sounds like a cliche, but that was me.” She confessed that she may have been too "consumed" by kids, work and renovating to notice the "signs" that the marriage wasn’t working.
The Birmingham Mail understands that Helen was heartbroken by the split and struggled to tell her parents as she did not want to "inflict" pain on others. As the speculation surrounding her relationship status continues, fans will be eagerly awaiting an update from the presenter herself.
As previously reported by the Birmingham Mail, Helen’s personal life has been subject to intense media scrutiny in recent months. However, it remains to be seen whether she will address the rumours surrounding her relationship status in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, fans will be keeping a close eye on Helen’s social media accounts for any updates. The Birmingham Mail will continue to provide updates on this story as more information becomes available.
