Countryfile host Helen Skelton’s estranged husband Richie Myler was snapped enjoying a day out with his reported new girlfriend for the first time since the couple split.
Richie, 31, was seen spending quality time at a romantic walking location with his alleged new girlfriend, Stephanie Thirkill, 32, just weeks after BBC star Helen revealed they had separated.
Rugby league player Richie split up with Helen, 38, with whom he shares three children, after nine years of marriage.
Richie is now dating Stephanie, the daughter of multi-millionaire Andrew Thirkill, the president of Leeds Rhinos rugby club where he also plays as a scrum-half.

The couple have been seen for the first time as they walked their dogs at a local reservoir to her home in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
A source told The Sun: “They seemed really content together.
“They wandered down to the reservoir before a peaceful stroll on one of the tracks in the late sunshine.

“You can get away from everything there.”
The marketing executive dressed casually for the walk in a red sweatshirt teamed with camouflage print leggings with her hair tied up in a loose messy bun.
Richie also kept it casual wearing black shorts and a black hoodie for their 90-minute walk as they lapped up the scenery before returning to the car.

Richie and Stephanie reportedly met for the first time at a rugby dinner event in autumn last year – with Helen six months pregnant at the time.
However, the relationship reportedly didn’t begin until after Richie had split from former Blue Peter host Helen.
The couple share three children, aged six, five and four months.

Helen reportedly hired a private eye to investigate what was going on in her relationship after she grew suspicious about Richie’s behaviour.
Stephanie, who has also split from her husband, is the company director of two businesses run by her businessman dad Andrew, 57, who is estimated to have a net worth of £175million.
