Helen Skelton sells marital home she shared with ex Richie Myler
Helen Skelton leaves her ex-husband Richie Myler by marketing the marital home they once shared.
The TV presenter, 39, announced in April last year that she had split from England and Leeds Rhinos rugby league star Richie, 33.
A source told it MirrorHelen has moved on with her life and feels it’s time to start with a clean slate.
“She’s put up for sale the house they shared together and is looking for a new place to move with the kids in the coming months.”
Since his divorce from Helen, Richie has had a baby with new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill, 32, the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew.

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Helen and Richie married in 2013 and moved into their Yorkshire property together seven years later.
The ex-couple put money into several renovations of the property until they split last year.
Months later, Helen – who is mum to sons Ernie, eight, Louis, five, and 16-month-old daughter Elsie who she shares with Richie – appeared on Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House and said she had ‘sold a bunch of stuff’ as she lived her life cleaned up.
It comes after Helen enjoyed a break with her girlfriends, sharing photos from her island hopping trip on Tuesday as she celebrated her upcoming 40th birthday.
The Strictly star flaunted her tanned figure in a skimpy pink bikini as she enjoyed a spot of paddle boarding in the waters off Formentera.
The day before the group was on the neighboring island of Ibiza, Helen shared another photo of herself, this time in a leopard print bikini as she made her way to the beach.
Girlhood is a good time. So glad I had that chance encounter with someone on a day out from @onthebeachholidays a few years ago. Thank you @trsibizahotel for hosting me and some friends. Beautiful hotel. Great staff. Top food. Brilliant drinks,” she captioned the snap.
She added the hashtags “#dankbaar #vakantie #ibiza #girltime #prstay #onthebeach #trs #gifted #beach #baleares #balearics #sand #sea #hotels #island.”

Helen recently revealed her hilarious response to the question of whether she has a boyfriend, and proudly shared her comeback choice in an interview with Thank you.
She complained that during her time hosting Blue Peter between 2008 and 2013, her love life was always fueled by friends rather than her personal achievements.
Helen said: ‘I traveled all over the world and saw and did incredible things. And whenever I came home and caught up with people, they would just ask, “Do you have a boyfriend?” I was like, “No, but I have some world records!”‘

In the same interview, she explained why she doesn’t need sympathy after her breakup with Richie.
The TV personality was asked about her difficult time raising three children on her parents’ farm after moving to Cumbria from Leeds following the divorce.
She chose not to discuss her breakup with Leeds Rhinos star Richie at length, saying simply, “My life is no different than the lives of millions of other people.
“A lot of people have the same sorts of things to take care of and figure out. I like life, short and wonderful, and you just take each chapter as it comes. There’s no point in thinking about things, you just keep going.’
