Helen Skelton thanks son's 'amazing' teachers for 'support' following split from husband

Helen Skelton has shared a touching post praising the 'amazing teachers' and 'support staff' at her son's school as she welcomes the summer holidays.

Helen, 39, shares three children with her estranged husband Richie Myler including their five-year-old son Louis.

She and Richie split in April of this year when he left the family home just four months after Helen gave birth to their third child.

It was revealed a few days after that Richie had moved on and was dating Stephanie Thirkill - the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill.

Now, Helen has thanked those working at her son's school for helping during, what has no doubt been, a very difficult few months.

Posting a picture of Louis and one of his female teachers on her Instagram Story, Helen wrote: "Love and luck school leavers," followed by a red heart emoji.

"Baby boy finished reception," she continued, before adding: "Grateful for amazing teachers and support staff."

Helen's post comes one day after Richie, 32, shared a loved-up holiday snap of him and his new girlfriend in Cornwall.

On his Instagram account Richie shared a picture of himself with his arm wrapped around Stephanie Thirkill, as she put her arms around his waist and shoulder.

The pair beamed at the camera during their break to Cornwall.

In the caption, the Rugby player wrote: "Cornwall... Was worth a 32 year wait", followed by emojis of the sun and a love heart.

A few weeks ago the sportsman also shared a picture of the pair at Wimbledon, with their arms around each other's waists, but didn't share a caption.
