Helen Skelton is enjoying the single life at the moment, recently delighting her followers with an adorable video of her three children

She doesn't appear to be in any hurry to enter a new relationship, after her split with ex-husband Richie Myler, who welcomed a baby with his new partner earlier this month.

The presenter has always been an independent spirit, as she revealed in a new interview with Grazia magazine, where she shared that being in a relationship has never been her only priority

While preferring not to comment on Richie's new relationship or address speculation on who she might be dating, Helen shared the brilliant response she used to give to anyone who asked if she had a boyfriend during her time on Blue Peter

The busy mum said: "I was travelling all around the world, and seeing and doing incredible things. And whenever I came home and caught up with people, all they would ask is, 'have you got a boyfriend?' I was like, 'no, but I've got a few world records'."

Helen and Richie announced their split a year ago, five months after welcoming their third child together, a daughter named Elsie. Helen also shares sons Ernie, seven, and Louis, five, with her ex.

Whilst at the time the pair gave no reason for the breakup of their eight-year marriage, it was later revealed that the Leeds Rhino rugby player was dating Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of Rhinos president Andrew.

Last week, Helen gave a sweet glimpse into her family life as she attended a bingo event with friends and on the way home, little tot Elsie could be seen heading through an iron gate in a serene spring field where plenty of daffodils were growing in the corner.
