Life as a single mum is tough for the Countryfile favourite

Strictly star Helen Skelton has admitted that she is “struggling” in a candid confession to Ranvir Singh.

The confession came after Gorka Marquez‘s heartfelt pep talk to Helen on Saturday night’s show following the breakdown of her marriage.

Helen appeared on Lorraine with stand-in host Ranvir today (October 17) to chat about the show’s Me Time initiative.

Strictly star Helen Skelton admits she’s ‘struggling’

Strictly Come Dancing star Helen revealed that being a single mum can mean it’s tricky to take on new career opportunities.

The confession came in the wake of her split from husband Richie Myler.

Richie is, of course, reportedly expecting his first baby with new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill.

Of course I am struggling.

He already has three children with Helen and left their family home when their youngest was just four months old.

Ranvir asked: “How do you balance me time and work, or do you not, are you struggling?”

“Of course I am,” Helen replied.

“I lump work into my me time but not everyone can do Strictly for work.”

She then revealed how she tries to maintain her work/life balance.
