Helen Skelton has addressed the exaggerated speculations surrounding her relationship with Gethin Jones, emphasizing her contentment. The duo co-hosts the BBC’s Morning Live program, and their professional rapport has sparked rumors of a romantic involvement. However, Helen has consistently clarified that they are solely colleagues who collaborate well.

Formerly married to rugby player Richie Myler, Helen disclosed that the hearsay had escalated to the point where even her closest friend mistakenly congratulated her on a supposed engagement. Despite this, the Countryfile presenter has once again refuted the unfounded claims.

In a recent interview, Helen described Gethin as one of her dearest friends and affirmed that they are not romantically involved. She expressed her aversion to dating apps, jesting about her father mistaking her use of the second-hand clothing app Vinted for Tinder.

Addressing her personal life, Helen shared a light-hearted anecdote about her children questioning her relationship status. Following her separation from Richie in 2022 after eight years of marriage, Helen asserted that they are focused on co-parenting their children.

Although Helen has not publicly confirmed a new romantic partner, she and Gethin have been linked due to their outings and camaraderie at public events. When asked about their relationship status, Helen emphasized that they are simply work friends.

Gethin reciprocated the supportive dynamic by stating that they look out for each other both on and off-camera, highlighting Helen’s passionate nature. Notably, the pair will compete in the Best Presenter category at the upcoming National Television Awards, where their show, Morning Live, is also nominated for Best Daytime TV show.

A statement from the BBC revealed that both Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton have received nominations in the TV Presenter category at the National Television Awards.
