Helen Skelton shared snaps from her daughter Elsie's "chaotic" first birthday party – and fans are convinced they've 'spotted' her ex-husband Richie Myler.

Taking to her Instagram Stories this afternoon, the Countryfile star, 39, posted pictures of a family birthday party inside what looks to be her home.

"A wolf in a tantrum, a Spidergirl needing balloons and lost cricket gloves. All the chaos," she penned alongside a snap of Elsie's pals in fancy dress."

"All the love baby girl," she added alongside the picture in which a man, who appeared similar to her ex Richie, was stood alongside the youngsters.

Fans noted the man's hair and facial hair being similar to that of Richie's as some speculated they had reunited for their child's birthday bash.

Another snap shows what looks to be a burnt beef burger patty, alongside the caption "safe to say party food was up to the usual standard chez skelton".

The new snaps come after Helen marked her daughter's first birthday with an emotional post after what has been a whirlwind year for the former Blue Peter presenter.

After giving birth to Elsie last December, Helen split from Richie just four months later. She announced the break-up in a statement telling fans she was 'very sad'.

But months later, Helen threw herself back into work, launching her own Radio 5 Live weekend show and becoming a last-minute addition to this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing - where she made it all the way to the final.

After a turbulent 12 months, today Helen is celebrating her daughter's first birthday and shared her pal's tribute to the tot on Instagram.

Sharing an adorable black and white pic of Elsie, Stevie Atkins, who is married to rugby player Ryan Atkins, wrote: "Happy first birthday to you Elsie.

"You are the most adorable little girl who stole our hearts the second we laid eyes on you. We hope your day is fun and everything you deserve it to be.

"All our love, hugs and kisses from Stevie, Ryan, Nala and Jada xxx."

Turning her attention to her 'super mummy' pal Helen, Stevie said she hoped the mother-of-three was relaxing herself.

"Happy birthing day to you too super mummy @helenskelton. Love you more than words can say. Have a glass of champagne for me too today, mwah x," she penned.
