Helen Skelton recently shared insights on her relationship aspirations following speculation about a potential romantic involvement with Gethin Jones. Reflecting on the BBC series Lost and Found in the Lakes, the 42-year-old emphasized how the emotional narratives showcased on the show had prompted her to contemplate her own romantic goals.

The program, set in the Lake District, follows a team of specialists who locate and recover lost or stolen cherished items from the lakes in the region.

Helen highlighted the significance of the retrieved items, noting that they often held deep sentimental value. She recounted a poignant example of a piece of jewelry that symbolized a man’s first gift from his wife of 40 years.

Speaking to Radio Times Magazine’s YouTube channel, Helen expressed how the show resonated with the enduring value of sentimentality, which she described as somewhat traditional in today’s society.

She remarked, “Returning a lost ring to its owner evokes memories of their first encounter 60 years ago, and the romantic in me desires that kind of enduring love.”

Continuing, she mused on the concept of lifelong partnership, observing how witnessing couples leaving the show evoked a sense of admiration for enduring relationships that weather life’s challenges and joys together.

Helen, who was previously married to rugby player Richie Myler and has three children with him, announced their separation in 2022 after eight years of marriage, expressing a commitment to co-parenting.

While Helen has not confirmed a new relationship publicly, recent rumors have linked her romantically to Gethin, her co-host on Morning Live. However, she has denied these claims, emphasizing that their relationship is strictly platonic.

In a statement to Prima magazine in December 2025, Helen clarified that she and Gethin are simply colleagues and not romantically involved. When pressed by The Mirror about their alleged dates, she reaffirmed that they are only friends and work together.

Addressing their friendship, Gethin described their supportive dynamic, both on and off camera, highlighting their mutual encouragement and camaraderie.
