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!"
