The divorce between rugby player Richie Myler and Countryfile star Helen Skelton had created considerable buzz on the internet and everyone wanted to know the reason behind it.
In April, Helen, then 39, announced the break-up of her eight-year marriage to Richie. The announcement came four months after she gave birth to their third child.

According to her, it enables her to focus on her job commitments on Strictly and ITV’s Lorraine, where she has joined a brand new ‘Me Time’ campaign, while her parents help look after her three young children.
