Helen Skelton looked sensational in a black swimsuit as she offered fans an insight into her summer break with her children Ernie, nine, Louis, seven, and Elsie, two.

Looking lovely in a simple, scoop-neck design, Helen was seen marching across Tynemouth beach, spade in hand, as she prepared to build sandcastles with her kids. Appearing the picture of happiness, the 41-year-old Countryfile star wore her blonde hair pulled up into a ponytail and shunned makeup for the sweet glimpse inside her family life.

Helen previously opened up to HELLO! about making the most of every minute with her young children. "In the blink of an eye they'll be 18, so I'm making the most of all the cuddles," she said.

"Life is a bit crazy with three children and I'm not going to lie, getting the kids to school is just chaos. It's hard to split yourself three ways.
