Gethin Jones shares sweet tribute to Helen Skelton on her 42nd birthday in rare public remark amid romance rumours

BBG News

Gethin Jones recently posted a heartfelt birthday message for his fellow actor, Helen Skelton, fueling speculation about their growing relationship.

The popular daytime television personality, aged 47, is rumored to be in a relationship with the three-time mom, who co-hosts BBC’s Morning Live alongside him.

Although they haven’t publicly acknowledged their relationship, they’ve been seen together frequently outside work settings, such as taking a relaxing spa vacation at a private club in the countryside.

Here’s how I might rephrase that sentence in a more conversational and first-person style as a lifestyle expert:

“I recently took to social media to celebrate my friend and fellow presenter’s special day! She turned 42 this past Saturday, and I couldn’t help but share a heartfelt post to mark the occasion. It’s always inspiring to see her shine on screen.

On his Instagram Stories, the ex-Blue Peter host shared a picture of Helen amidst a group of sheep.

In a playful twist, Gethin penned “Penblwydd Hapus,” Welsh for “Happy Birthday,” followed by a jest about having a grand old time with the friends… or perhaps the livestock!

In his final touch, he added a kiss to the birthday post, stirring even more whispers about their possible romantic connection.

In the last few months, it’s been thought that their friendship, which was evident when they shared screen time, may have grown into a deeper relationship.

As an ardent admirer, I’ve been hearing whispers from reliable sources that the bond between Helen and Gethin goes beyond professional ties. Lately, it seems their camaraderie has grown into something more profound.

They both strive to maintain secrecy about their relationship, wanting to steer clear of public attention. Yet, their strong bond – evident both behind and in front of the camera – is hard to ignore.

Initiated whispers of potential romantic involvement between them, Gethin and Helen, surfaced in March, during their shared 24-hour roller-skating event for Comic Relief.

In a public statement, Gethin commended Helen for her resilience and wit, while expressing his deep affection for her company.

Later on, Helen returned the appreciation by posting on social media after the contest: “Dear @gethinjonesc… What a remarkable individual you are.

‘Although I don’t always verbalize it, you know how deeply I value your friendship and hold you in high regard. To make things clear, you’re truly a legend in my book, and I am profoundly grateful to have you as my partner on the ice, during our leisure moments, and beyond.’

Since her high-profile split with husband Richie Myler in 2022, Helen has been living as a single parent to their three kids: Ernie (age nine), Louis (age eight), and Elsie (age three).

The 34-year-old rugby league player had been married to Helen for nine years, but they eventually parted ways. Helen expressed her sadness on Instagram about him leaving their shared household, stating that she was deeply affected by his departure.

As a devoted admirer speaking in the first person, I find myself in a similar singleness as Gethin. Earlier this year, an intriguing incident transpired involving him on Hinge – a dating app. After an astonishing 300 women showed interest in his profile, he found himself barred from the platform, accused of being a catfish.

During a chat on the Restless Natives podcast, he shared an experience: About two weeks back, I was booted from Hinge not once, but twice within eight hours, due to breaching their Code of Conduct. It turned out that 300 women had accused me of catfishing.

On a solitary Thursday evening, you might find yourself typing to Hinge, “Hello Hinge, this is Gethin, age 46, seeking a refund as I’m finding the service isn’t quite working for me,” while munching on some cereal since the fridge is empty.

‘That’s when I’m like, “What am I doing with my life?”‘

Gethin was previously engaged to Katherine Jenkins after the pair met in 2007.

They planned to get married in February 2011, but in December of that year, Gethin ended their engagement and they separated.
