Helen Skelton's estranged husband jets off on holiday with 'new girlfriend'

Helen Skelton’s estranged husband Richie Miller has jetted off on holiday with his new girlfriend, according to reports.

The rugby player left his family home he shared with the Countryfile star in April just four months after Helen gave birth to their third child.

Before their unexpected split, which took place a few weeks ago, Helen and Richie were together for nine years and are parents to four-month-old Elsie, Louis, 4, and six-year-old Ernie.

However, The Sun has reported that the rugby star has sparked a new “romance” with a woman he met only a few weeks after his marriage breakdown.

Talking candidly, a source reportedly told the publication: “He said he was going on holiday.

“It’s thought he’s taken his new missus so they can be out of the public eye.”

“Helen’s holding it together well, which is admirable given she was blindsided by his new relationship.”

The source also claimed that the couple’s mutual friends think Helen was treated “appallingly” and are shocked that he moved on so soon.

Daily Star has reached out to Helen’s representatives for comment.

TV personality Helen left fans shocked when she took to Instagram last month to share that her relationship with Richie had come to an end.

She wrote: “Very sad to say that 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.”

The star later shared a cryptic message on her social media platform which appeared to suggest that she was having a tough time.

Helen re-shared: “A mama is always full of emotions, full of love, full of anxiety and worries, full of exhaustion and lack of energy, full of mum guilt and doubt, full of pride in her kids, full of pure joy.

“She feels it all, that’s the beauty of her, she carries it all too, and yet she gets up every day and does it all over again.”

Things seemed to be going well for the couple when they welcomed their third child in December 2021 with Helen, who is an avid social media user, sharing photos of her newborn online.

Helen also shared a picture of Richie carrying her daughter Elsie out of the hospital at the time.
