Helen Skelton has officially turned the page — and this time, the change is not just emotional, but written into her professional identity.
Three years after her heartbreaking split from rugby star Richie Myler, the beloved presenter has removed the last remaining trace of him from her business affairs, marking a symbolic fresh start that fans have been quietly cheering on.
For years, even after their shock breakup in 2022 and their eventual divorce two years later, Helen still carried his surname in official documents. But new filings at Companies House this month confirm that she has reclaimed her own name, restoring Helen Skelton as the director of her production company, Helen Skelton Productions Ltd.
A clean break — finally complete.
Back in April 2022, Helen announced the separation with devastating honesty, sharing that Richie had “left the family home” while their youngest child, Elsie, was only four months old. Their sons Ernie and Louis were still so little. It was a moment fans will never forget.

The move comes amid romance rumours with Gethin Jones (seen together at the Pride of Britain Awards last month)
A New Name, A New Glow… And A New Man?
Helen’s decision to legally step back into her own name comes at a moment when the rumour mill surrounding her relationship with her Morning Live co-host Gethin Jones is spinning at full speed.
The pair have appeared increasingly close in recent months — and their chemistry is becoming impossible to ignore.
Just days ago, Helen posted a cosy photo from the Royal Television Society Awards in Manchester, and fans screamed in the comments. Gethin, ever the gentleman, stood close behind her with his arm around her chair — a subtle gesture that sent social media buzzing.
Helen captioned the snap with one simple word:
“Grateful.”
And judging by the smiles, so was he.
Helen stunned in a jaw-dropping one-shoulder red gown with a daring thigh split, while Gethin looked sharp in a tux with a sparkling lapel pin. As they posed together on the red carpet, the warmth between them was unmistakable.
Where There’s Smoke…
Rumours of romance first started earlier this summer, before whispers claimed they had “cooled things off.”
But the photographic evidence tells a different story…
-
They left the Pride of Britain Awards within minutes of each other.
-
They were spotted sharing a cosy lunch in November.
-
Gethin gave Helen his umbrella in the rain — and let himself get soaked instead.
-
At a charity event, they reportedly behaved like a couple, thanks to their “tactile” body language.
And when asked directly?
Their reps refused to comment — which, in showbiz, often speaks louder than words.
The Past She’s Leaving Behind
Helen’s marriage to Richie Myler lasted nine years before it abruptly fell apart. Shortly after their separation, Richie began a relationship with Stephanie Thirkhill — the daughter of the then-president of his rugby club. They now share two children.
Helen, meanwhile, threw herself into motherhood, work, and rebuilding her life — earning admiration from viewers who have watched her rise stronger than ever.
Now, with her name restored and her confidence glowing brighter than ever, Helen looks ready for the next chapter.
A chapter she’s writing on her own terms.
