Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton will spend her first Christmas without her ex-husband Richie Myler, following their split in April 2022 – see all the reasons the holiday could be bittersweet.
December 14, 2022 - 16:32 GMT Nichola Murphy Helen Skelton is heading into the festive season on a high, as she dances her way to the Strictly Come Dancing final alongside Gorka Marquez.
Just four months after she welcomed her third child, Helen took to her Instagram Stories to release a short statement confirming she and Richie had separated."Very sad to say 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," she wrote.
Helen later clarified that she does not feel like a"victim" following their split, telling The Telegraph:"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"stuff" she was referring to was sentimental items such as an antique dark wood vaulting horse – one of her wedding presents – plus a Victorian dentist chair and two Art Deco armchairs.
