Leeds Rhinos Richie Myler in harsh snub to ex Helen Skelton following split

Leeds Rhinos star Richie Myler has dealt another blow to ex Helen Skelton following their split.

The rugby league player split from Countryfile presenter Helen earlier this month. Their split was announced by the TV celebrity when she posted on Instagram that Myler, who she shares three children with, had 'left the family home.'

And now he has dealt another blow by unfollowing Helen, 38, on Instagram. Myler is already in a new relationship and is dating Stephanie Thirkill, daughter of Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill.

The split has attracted a lot of attention following the post on social media and after it emerged Myler was in a new relationship.

In a brief post announcing the split, Helen said: "Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home."

The pair, who were married for eight years, had welcomed their third child Elsie Kate just four months before, and also have two sons, Ernie, six, and Louis, four.

Richie was spotted for the first time with his new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkhill earlier this week when the pair enjoyed a walk together in Harrogate.
