However, it wasn't just Helen's outfit that took centre stage, but also her hair. The mum-of-three switched up her hairstyle by ditching her blonde tresses for an ash blonde hue with highlights of pink and purple.

The appearance marked Helen's first public appearance since announcing her split from her husband of eight years, Richie, with whom she shares three children with.

Helen and Richie were married for eight years before separating

It has since been revealed that 31-year-old Richie is in a new relationship with Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of the multi-millionaire President of the Leeds Rhinos club he plays for.

Stephanie and Richie reportedly met at a rugby dinner last autumn. Despite meeting whilst still married, Richie has insisted there was no crossover and that he began the romance with Stephanie after his marriage collapsed.
