Helen Skelton returns to Instagram without wedding ring as husband's girlfriend revealed

Helen Skelton has made a seamless return to her Instagram page without her wedding ring.

The TV presenter came back to social media to post an advertisement a few days after announcing that her husband, Richie Myler, left the home they shared together.

She revealed that she and the rugby player had parted ways after nine years of marriage.

On her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Helen spoke to the camera as she promoted Smart Meters.

The 38-year-old stood in her kitchen and held onto a mug of tea while promoting the product. She was not wearing her wedding ring in the clips.

She seemed nonchalant as she spoke about her campaign and the importance of saving energy.

At the end of April, it was reported that Richie embarked on a new relationship just weeks after the split.

Helen and Richie's split comes just four months after the pair welcomed their third child, Elsie Kate.

The pair are also proud parents to sons, Ernie, six, and Louis, four.

The Sun reported the sports star has 'seen the young businesswoman several times recently' as their friendship has continued to grow.

Insiders claimed that Richie is in 'the very early stages of a relationship' with the mystery new woman.

“Richie appears to have been spending a lot of his free time with this younger, successful businesswoman," an insider told the publication at the time.

It was then reported that Richie and the woman made plans to go on holiday to get 'out of the public eye'.

After a few days of mystery, it is now claimed that Richie is actually dating the daughter of the President of the Leeds Rhinos club he plays for, Stephanie Thirkill, 32.

A source MailOnline : "Helen is absolutely devastated. Now she is contemplating life without him while he has moved on with his new partner.

"Richie is insisting there was no crossover, that he began the romance with Stephanie after their marriage collapsed, but Helen feels let down. They are still married, and their baby is literally four months old."

According to the source, Helen was 'shocked' as she thought their marriage was 'secure'.

Mirror have contacted Richie's and Helen's reps for comment.
