Helen Skelton addresses marriage split for first time on Strictly Come Dancing

Helen Skelton hinted at her marriage split during the latest episode of Strictly Come Dancing.
During the broadcast, which occurred on Friday (2 December) instead of its usual slot on a Saturday, the Countryfile presenter explained why she said yes to the BBC dancing competition.
“I did Strictly this year because sometimes you just need to jump on the opportunity and chance to put a big smile on your face,” she said.
Skelton signed up to the show months after revealing that her ex Richie Myler had “left the family home” just four months after they welcomed their third child.
