Former Strictly star Helen Skelton – who is on Countryfile tonight (Sunday, June 2) – admitted last year she’d been “shocked” by the support she’d received after announcing her decision to leave BBC Radio 5 Live.
Countryfile host Helen, 40, revealed she would be quitting her BBC Radio 5 Live job back in August 2023. The busy mum of three told listeners at the time: “The juggle is real.”
She also said she wanted to be around to see her children taking part in their weekend sports fixtures. Helen said: “There is an eight-year-old with a sideline who needs me.”
Why Helen Skelton left BBC Radio 5 Live
The ex-Blue Peter star was reported to have stepped away from her radio role as she was being ‘stretched’ by childcare needs.
Helen revealed in April 2022 that she and her ex, Richie Myler, had separated. The announcement of their split came just four months after the birth of their youngest child, Elsie Kate.
