Gethin Jones’ Jokey Comment on Helen Skelton’s Family Photo Sparks Romance Rumors
In a playful move that surely convinced fans, Gethin Jones made a jokey comment on a sweet photo of Helen Skelton and her children after months of romance rumors. The co-anchors of the popular TV show Morning Live have set the entertainment world alight as speculations about their budding relationship swirled for months.
The Sparkling Christmas Photo
Helen Skelton, known for her role in Countryfile and as a star of Prima Magazine, shared a heartwarming photo on Instagram featuring herself with three children, captioning it: “Happy Festive season!!! I hope you have reasons to be grateful and reasons to smile.” The image showcased Helen’s red knitted fingerless glove worn on both arms, but only one was visible.
Gethin Jones’ Quick Reply
On the social media platform, Gethin Jones quickly responded with a laughing face emoji and asked, “What have you done to your arm?” The comment came as no surprise given their close working relationship and frequent on-screen chemistry. Both have been anchoring Morning Live full-time since its relaunch in January 2024.
A Bumpy Past for the Couple
While Helen Skelton was left heartbroken when her rugby player husband, Richie Myler, walked out on her just four months after she gave birth to their youngest child Elsie in 2021, Gethin Jones has struggled with his split from Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins more than a decade ago. Their shared history as former Blue Peter presenters and participants of Strictly Come Dancing adds depth to the speculation.
Their frequent appearances together at various events have fueled fans’ hopes that this might be “the one.” Despite their close working relationship, both have been tight-lipped about any romantic involvement, leaving their followers guessing. However, Helen’s recent cover star appearance in Prima Magazine offered a glimmer of hope for those rooting for them to find happiness together.
In an interview, Helen Skelton sidestepped the question on her relationship status by saying, “I’ve been friends with Michelle and Gethin for 25 years.
Geth was on Blue Peter before me, so we’ve always crossed paths, and Michelle and I were flatmates when we lived in London. We’re all in the same frame of mind. The tricky bit is, we’re such good mates that sometimes we forget we’re on air.” This response, while endearing, did little to quell the speculation.
The Morning Live Anchors’ Close Working Relationship
Since their relaunch in 2024, Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton have become a popular duo on Morning Live. Their bouncy on-screen presence has won them a loyal audience, leading ITV bosses to express regret for not finding Helen a show of her own earlier.
Their frequent appearances together at events such as the Baftas in May this year and a charity ball set up by late rugby star Rob Burrow’s sisters have only added fuel to the speculation. While neither has directly confirmed or denied any rumors, their close relationship on and off screen continues to pique interest.
With months of romance rumors swirling around them, Gethin Jones‘s jokey comment on Helen’s family photo serves as a reminder that fans are still eagerly awaiting confirmation of their relationship.
For now, the couple remains tight-lipped, leaving speculation alive and well in the entertainment world.
What do you think? Do you believe Gethin and Helen could be a match made in heaven?
