Helen Skelton lives in a countryside cottage in Yorkshire with her husband Richie Myler. The BBC Countryfile and former Blue Peter presenter has been in the process of renovating the home since they purchased it in January 2020, and her kitchen is shaping up to be seriously stunning.

A white double farmhouse sink is in keeping with the house's heritage, and there is a window with frames matching the colour of the cupboards overlooking the garden.

"We found a tiny broken house with a two acre garden. My dad saw it and said 'it's a terrible idea', but then he saw the garden and said 'you can't not live here'. She's an old house that someone put a lot of love into, especially in the garden."

Helen grew up on a dairy farm in Cumbria, and so it makes sense that she would choose to live outside of the city. "I lived in the countryside until I was around 23/24 and never had neighbours," she said during her interview with Country Living. "I just looked at the rolling fields, front, side and back. I underestimated how much I found joy in rolling fields until I moved to London. The fresh air, sunsets and watching the sun rise just makes me feel good."
