Strictly star Helen Skelton has put her marital Yorkshire home on the market after moving on from her ex-husband Richie Myler.
The former Blue Peter presenter, who shares three children with her ex, is reportedly looking for a new home in the coming months. Helen, 39, who split from Richie back in April 2022, is allegedly looking to start afresh.
Helen purchased the Yorkshire property in January 2020. Up until their split, the former couple redecorated and transformed their marital home into a stunning country bolthole.
Their former home features a beautiful open-plan kitchen and dining room, a quiet snug room, an inside climbing wall and a chic bathroom complete with a freestanding tin bath.

"A lot of stuff in the house isn't necessarily what we would have picked, but it was all we could get in a pandemic. Thankfully, it worked out well."
Helen went on to say the "quirky" home makes her heart "sing" – a feeling she didn't get when she viewed other properties. The beautiful garden was the biggest attraction.

Helen and Richie called it quits last year, just four months after welcoming their youngest child, baby Elsie.

Opening up, she candidly shared: "There's loads of stuff to ask me about that's really interesting, that's not, 'Ohhh, poor you.' I don't see myself as a victim, no, because I mean, look… There are a lot of people who have been in my situation who haven't been given the opportunities that I've got."
The mum-of-three did confess to having days, "when I'm [explicit] off." She noted: "But equally, in this job, you're in a lot of people's lives, which gives you a phenomenal amount of perspective."

Since their separation, Leeds Rhinos player Richie has found love with girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill. The couple went Instagram official when they attended Wimbledon together in July last year. Stephanie is the daughter of the multi-millionaire President of the Leeds Rhinos club, which is the team that Richie plays for.
