"I've done this job for a long time and I feel very lucky that every now and again you land on a group of people and a crew that really clicks," Helen tells HELLO!
"Michelle [Ackerley] and Gethin [Jones] and I have all been friends for years and years. Gethin and I crossed over a lot at Blue Peter, so we've got a lot of the same reference points.
"Michelle and I used to flat share back in London so people say, 'You've got a natural chemistry', but we have known each other since we were in our twenties, starting out in telly.
"If you have to go to work and you like what you do and you do it with people that are like an extension of your family, then you're very lucky and I definitely feel like that at Morning Live," she adds.

"My mum has always told me you get out of life what you put in, and if you want to have a nice house and a nice car, you've got to work hard and earn the money for it.
"And if you want to have a good relationship with your kids, then you've got to invest in them and make sure they know that they're the priority," Helen says of her approach to parenting her brood.
"That's always what's been instilled in me, and that's how I approach my mum space. I hate to admit it, but the older I get, the more I realise [my mum] knows what she's on about."

Dua Lipa is engaged to Callum Turner and ‘obsessed' with her ring
Don't be surprised if you see Dua Lipa 'Levitating' with hapiness. The singer confirmed during an interview with British Vogue that she is engaged to actor Callum Turner, telling the publication 'It's very exciting' and expressing her pleasure with the ring he had made 'after consulting her best friends and her sister.' 'I'm obsessed with it. It's so me,' she said. 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Don't look for any wedding photos anytime soon, however. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she said. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' For now, she's enjoying being engaged. 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling,' she said. Turner has starred in 'Masters of the Air' and 'The Boys in the Boat,' among other projects. The two first sparked speculation they were a couple in January 2024. They met at The River Cafe in London, where they were introduced by the restaurant's cofounder, Ruth Rogers when the singer was having dinner with her father and the actor was out with friends.

This British-Palestinian Designer Created Her Own Wedding Corset Featuring Traditional Embroidery
When British-Palestinian designer Leena Sobeih got engaged to husband Tom, she knew that she wanted to wear two looks for her nikkah, or religious ceremony, in Manchester. 'I want to honor my heritage and incorporate traditional [dress] into part of the day, and I wanted to do a more modern take on it for another part of the day,' she tells Vogue over Zoom from her studio. After deciding to wear a traditional embroidered thobe and matching veil sourced from Jordan for the ceremony itself, Sobeih began work on a second look for the reception. Narrowing down exactly what she wanted was difficult to start with, though she landed upon her label's signatures: a corset and matching tiered skirt, made using upcycled materials (another of the designer's MOs). 'The big thing for me was [reflecting] my brand, and the style that I like to wear, which is really girly and flirty, and has a lot of historical elements from the Victorian era,' she explains. 'I was trying to just find the best way to combine [that], so I felt like myself, but also have an element of my culture and my tradition.'
