Helen Skelton fans convinced they’ve spotted her ex Richie Myler in pics of daughter Elsie’s first birthday party
HELEN Skelton fans are convinced that they have spotted her ex Richie Myler in photos of her daughter’s birthday party.
The Strictly Come Dancing star took to her Instagram to reveal snaps from the bash, thrown at home with family and friends.
Helen, 39, could be seen cuddling up to her daughter Elsie, one, in a series of snaps as she threw a birthday party.
The Countryfile presenter wore her blonde hair down as she posed, make-up free, in a grey jumper in front of a cake.
She was surrounded by her two sons Ernie, seven, and Louis, five, as well as a pink balloon display in the snap.
“One year of you, here’s to houses that are never quiet or tidy,” she captioned the post, before following up with more snaps.
She could be seen joined by her family members in a second snap on her Instagram stories, including a man with his back towards the camera.
Fans were convinced that they could spot Richie, 32, at the bash, despite the couple splitting earlier this year.
“A wolf in a tantrum, a Spider-girl needing balloons and lost cricket gloves. All the chaos,” she wrote over the photo.
“All the love baby girl,” Helen added over the snap with the man, who looked similar to her rugby star ex.
Helen split from Richie just four months after the pair welcomed their third child, baby girl Elsie.
It comes after Helen said she and Richie steered clear of each other for a year before going their separate ways.
Helen and rugby player Richie, 31, who tied the knot in 2012, share three kids together.
Last year the former couple were busy renovating a house in Yorkshire near their family home, and were just too busy to spend quality time together.
According to The Mirror, Helen said: “No… We’re not in the house together – we are staying out of each other’s way.
“We say this is the dream as we have breakfast, lunch and dinner together but then look after the kids in shifts.
“You appreciate the other in this situation. I don’t think he’ll ever say again, ‘What do you do with the kids all day?’ Sometimes I would get in from work and he’d be that husband that would look at the kitchen and say, ‘How is this still a mess when she’s been off all day?’
“Now he’s done it he’s like, ‘How does she stay sane?'”
Helen, who is currently taking part in this year’s Strictly, announced that her marriage was over on Instagram, just four months after she and the rugby player welcomed a third child.
In an emotional social media post, Helen said: “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.”
