Helen Skelton stuns in suede jacket as she heads into BBC ahead of Strictly appearance

Helen Skelton stunned in a brown suede jacket as she headed into the BBC studios this morning.

The radio and TV presenter wrapped up warm as it turned slightly chilly for the first time in weeks.

She paired her expensive looking jacket with a white top and casual tracksuit bottoms with a white and red stripe down the side.

Although the weather was glum, the 39-year-old wore open toe shoes which showed off her neon orange toenails.

In her hands she held a neon orange clutch bag, which also matched her perfectly manicured nails.

The mum-of-three completed her outfit with a chic gold chain and gold hoop earrings and had sunglasses on her head in case the sun decided to break out.

The well-dressed star was pictured on her way to present her new BBC Radio 5 Live show.

It was announced she would be taking over from Laura Whitmore ’s regular Sunday morning slot at the station in July.

She looked confident, calm and collected as she headed to work a day after revealing she “can’t wait” to appear on Strictly Come Dancing later this month.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Helen said: “I am a huge Strictly fan but my kids are not into it at all, which is annoying.

“I just want my kids to believe they can do anything they want. I want to show them that if Mummy can do it, then they can do it too. I just want to be a good role model and lead by example.”

Helen is a proud mum to Ernie, seven, Louis, five, and seven-month-old Elsie, who she shares with rugby star ex-husband Richie Myler.

The couple announced their shock split in April this year, just months after Helen gave birth to their third child – and Richie has since gone public with a new girlfriend.

The new woman in his life is 32-year-old Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of the multi-millionaire President of the Leeds Rhinos club which Richie plays for.

Although she is single again, it’s an exciting time for Helen, who not only has her stint on Strictly coming up.

The TV star has just landed a segment on ITV ’s Lorraine, discussing physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Helen took to Instagram to announce the end of her eight-year marriage to 32-year-old Richie.

In the statement she wrote: "Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple.

"He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co parent our small children."

She finished the emotional message by using two broken heart emojis.

Shortly afterwards Richie was revealed to be seeing “young businesswoman” Stephanie, but friends claim the relationship began after his split with Helen.
