Helen Skelton announced this week that she and husband Richie Myler have decided to part ways.
The Countryfile presenter, 38, wrote on her Instagram story on Monday: ‘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.’
A source had claimed that while the split was sudden, it appears to be over for good for the couple.
They told OK: ‘It’s so sad, but friends don’t think there is a way back for them. She’s really sad about it. Friends are really worried for her, but there is no way back sadly.’
It is also claimed that Helen had been ‘struggling recently’ as a mum to their young children, and had previously opened up about how lonely she had felt moving to France in 2015 for Richie’s career.
