BBC presenter Helen Skelton melted hearts at the weekend with a series of adorable throwback photos featuring her three children Louis, Ernie and Elsie.
Taking to Instagram, the former Blue Peter presenter, who shares her three children with her ex-husband Richie Myler, uploaded a carousel of images documenting her blissful weekend in the wonderful outdoors.

Little Elsie looked so sweet in the snapshot dressed in a bubblegum pink tutu, matching pink tights and a denim jacket embroidered with her name.

Meanwhile in a separate image, Helen's youngest son Louis, six, is shown confidently scaling a tree towards an impressive treehouse.
"When you get them to bed early because of their mood all day," Helen noted in her caption. "So you spend your night pawing over photos of last weekend #thatslife #weekends #grateful #thatskids."

Helen's family is always her main focus, with the presenter leaving her BBC Radio role last year in order to spend more time with her young brood.
Confirming her departure, Helen said live on air: "I've loved every minute of the past year... Thank you to all the team and thank you to all of you. It's hard to know what to say without getting emotional."
In an interview with the Express in 2021, meanwhile, Helen expressed: "Somebody said to me, one is like having a baby, two is like having a farm and three is like having a zoo, and I know what they mean!"

Following the split, Helen moved out of her family home to be with her parents at their sprawling farm in Cumbria. The TV star shares a heartwarming bond with her parents, and previously told Closer magazine: "My parents are amazing. It's the easiest parenting time of my life because they're on-hand all the time, doing loads for me. I'm pretty sure that grandparents keep this economy running!
