And on Wednesday, the Countryfile presenter - who announced her split from husband Richie Myler in April - looked dazzling in her Gül Hürgel Valere dress as she headed to ITV's summer party at the Sanderson hotel in London.

Turning heads as she passed by, Helen dressed her slender figure in a red floral maxi which featured a risque thigh-high split and one-shoulder detailing, as well as a ruffled hem.

With her blonde tresses swept to one side in a ponytail, the mum-of-three added a touch of blush, winged eye-liner and a slick of lippy. She accessorised with large gold hoops and nude strappy heels.

During an exclusive chat with HELLO! in this week's issue, Helen - who recently became ambassador for outdoor clothing and footwear brand North Ridge - touched upon her birthday this week. "I feel I'm hurtling towards 40," she said. "Times change and I'm in a new phase of my life, but I still feel about 25."

Helen is a doting mum to her two boys - seven-year-old Ernie, and Louis, five - as well as her six-month-old daughter Elsie. Her marriage to her husband of eight years, rugby league player Richie Myler, ended earlier this year.

The presenter confirmed their split in a short statement in April: "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."

Asked if she gets any me-time, Helen responded: "Good question. You know what, this probably sounds cheesy, but I love being a mum, and I like being with my kids. And at work, it's like hanging out with my friends.

"Someone puts my make-up on, so I feel all dolled up, and someone makes me a drink. It's almost like a night out!"
