After months of speculation, Helen Skelton has finally set the record straight about her alleged romance with Morning Live co-host Gethin Jones. The duo, who have been at the centre of swirling rumours, have now put the gossip to rest — and it’s not the news fans were hoping for.
Last year, fans were convinced that there was something more between Helen and Gethin after they shared a cozy moment together at the Pride of Britain Awards. The speculation only intensified after Helen’s split from her husband, Richie Myler, in 2022, and Gethin’s public confirmation that he was single. But now, Helen has cleared up the mystery once and for all.
The Shocking Reality: Just Friends, No Romance
In an exclusive chat with The Mirror earlier this year, Helen was asked point-blank about her relationship with Gethin. With a laugh, she quickly shot down the romance rumours, saying, “No, we’re just friends. He’s in Manchester working away, so yeah, no, all good.”
Helen went on to say, “We just work together. We are not together. No, no, no. We’re just work friends. They printed pictures of us at work and that we’re together because we are at work together.” The mother of three, who has been through a public divorce, emphasized that her bond with Gethin is purely professional.
Is Marriage on the Horizon for Helen?
When the topic of remarriage came up, Helen confessed that it wasn’t something she had thought much about. “It’s not something I’ve thought about really. I don’t know – I just take each day as it comes. I know that’s boring but…” she admitted, leaving fans wondering if love is even on the cards for the TV star right now.
Their Deep Friendship and Unbreakable Bond
Despite the speculation, Helen and Gethin have always maintained a strong, supportive friendship. The pair recently teamed up for a charity challenge, Gethin and Helen’s Wheely Big Challenge, where they raised money for Comic Relief. Gethin expressed his concerns before the event, saying, “What’s different this time is that we have each other. We’re best friends. We’re very honest with one another.”
For Helen, working alongside Gethin has always felt natural. She previously shared, “Gethin and I have all been friends for years and years. Gethin and I crossed over a lot at Blue Peter, so we’ve got a lot of the same reference points.” She also revealed that working with a team that feels like family is one of the best parts of her job at Morning Live.
So, despite the public curiosity, it looks like there’s no romance brewing between Helen and Gethin. Just a deep, unshakable friendship.
