The family regularly head out on little adventures – with them going hiking just days after the new baby arrived – and she managed to convince her sons to wear something other than a football kit for the evening.

Sharing a photo of son Ernie, six, wearing a snazzy grey all-denim outfit consisting of some jeans and a hoodie, Helen wrote: "We did it @oliviagrace90 this kid chose to wear @toy.breaker INSTEAD OF A FOOTBALL KIT for a Friday evening trip out."

The Countryfile presenter shared the same snap on her Instagram Stories, captioning it simply with: "Friday."

She also shared a photo of son Louis, four, in an outfit from the same brand, with the youngster rocking grey jeans and a purple jumper as he smiled next to an orange football.
