Helen Skelton's son had his own mini cheerleader in the form of his younger sister Elsie as he attended a football match this week.

Watching on from the sidelines, the two-year-old excitedly peered through the railings, jumping up and down and shouting at the pitch.

"Show me a prouder sister," Helen captioned the clip. Keeping it casual, Elsie wore pink leggings, trainers and a cosy jumper and showed off her resemblance to her famous mother with her hairstyle.

Shoulder-length blonde curls had been left loose around her shoulders while the front section had been fastened away from her eyes. The ashy colour and delicate ringlets are reminiscent of Helen's trademark hairstyle, which she had sported earlier in the week alongside a Fair Isle red jumper, a sequin skirt and a matching cherry coat for an appearance on Morning Live alongside Gethin Jones.

Helen moved home earlier this year

The family previously lived in Yorkshire in two interconnecting homes worth a reported  £1.8 million, featuring eight bedrooms, six bathrooms and an outdoor heated pool, but she announced they had moved out earlier this year.

She confirmed she had moved into her new home after thanking her father for his help. She wrote: "The kind of granddad who spends days moving the entire contents of your life and still makes time for motorbikes and football."
