Gethin Jones sends poignant message to co-star Helen Skelton amid 'romance'

Gethin Jones has further fuelled speculation he's in a new romance with his Morning Live co-star Helen Skelton after sending her a flirty birthday message
Gethin Jones has continued to fuel romance rumours with his Morning Live co-star Helen Skelton after he sent her a sweet birthday message on social media.

The TV presenters have been close pals for a while, but their friendship is said to have developed into something more after they were spotted leaving the BAFTAs together back in May. Though they have yet to confirm they are in a relationship, they have been spotted hanging out off set and enjoying a spa day at a country club recently.

In a further clue things are hotting up between the pair, Gethin, 47, took to his Instagram stories to publicly wish Helen happy birthday as she turned 42 on Saturday. Posting a photo of animal-loving Helen surrounded by a flock of sheep, Gethin wrote 'Pen-blwydd Hapus', which is Happy Birthday in his native Welsh.

He then joked: "Having the best time hanging out with your mates," and added a kiss at the end of the message, suggesting their relationship is more than platonic.
The single stars have both had their hearts broken in recent years. Gethin's engagement to Katherine Jenkins was called off in 2011 and he's had a string of short relationships since. While Helen split from ex-husband Richie Myler - who she shares three kids with - back in 2022.

Helen and Leeds Rhinos rugby player Richie, 35, had been married eight years and had just welcomed their third child, Elsie, when he they split. He now has two more children with Stephanie, also 35, whose millionaire father Andrew Thirkill is president of Richie's rugby club.
Shocking her followers at the time, Helen broke the upsetting news on Instagram and said: "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."
Writing in her 2023 autobiography, In My Stride, Helen recalled her heartbreaking split and described how she hadn't seen it coming. She wrote: "I was in shock. I know that following break-ups, people often say they didn't see it coming and it sounds like a cliché, but that was me."

Despite Richie leaving her, Helen refuses to cut him out of her life entirely for the sake of their kids. She says she always wants her children to have a father figure and know their parents were once in love and happy. It's for this reason she's decided to keep photos of her and Richie on her Instagram, instead of deleting them. She explained: "I want them to know that we loved each other, but things change and that's OK too."
Welshman Gethin has not been romantically linked to anyone since he dated First Dates star Cici Coleman. In the past, he is also thought to have briefly dated former The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy Mecklenburgh.

Gethin and Helen first sparked rumours of a possible romance in March when they both took part in a 24-hour roller skate challenge for Comic Relief which raised £34 million for charity. Gethin has publicly praised Helen's resilience as he gushed about how he loved spending time with her.
While Helen publicly said of Gethin: "My dear @gethinjonesc... You are some man. I don't publicly say often enough how much love and respect I have for you my friend because I assume it is well known, but for the record you're a legend and I am beyond grateful to have you by my side on the rink, the sofa and beyond.'
So if Helen has found love again with Gethin it would be some happy news. And it certainly looks like it's heading that way. A source told MailOnline: "Helen and Gethin have an extremely close working relationship and there's a feeling in recent months their friendship has blossomed into a deeper connection. They're both keen to keep a lid on it to avoid public scrutiny, but there's no denying their closeness both on and off screen."

Mo, 37, has since moved on with another model, Taia Tulher, 28, who is heavily pregnant with their first child. They have been quietly dating for almost two years and the couple live together in London. A source said: 'Mo met Selina after messaging her on social media and they hung out casually for a few months. 'She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they'd been fairly careful. 'But she wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren't actually a couple. "She adores their son and Mo sees him semi-regularly. Now he's about to become a dad for a second time and he's over the moon. "He has been with Taia for quite a long time now and he feels ready to settle down.' The comedian, who recently completed a stand-up tour, broke up with his girlfriend of four years, actress Sophie Wise, at the end of 2022. It was then revealed he was looking for love on celebrity dating app Raya.

If mum did a big shop, it'd be like, 'Wow, we've got yogurts. "There's boxed apple juice in the fridge and we've got crisps.' 'Those are the things you looked forward to as a kid. We didn't go on a single lavish holiday — maybe we'd go to Cardiff to see family.'

Princess Andre, 18, puts on a stylish display as she shares sunkissed snaps from her Mexican holiday

Princess Andre appeared to be having the time of her life as she shared more snaps from her sun-soaked holiday to Mexico. The daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, 18, recently returned from a luxury trip to the North American country and documented the getaway on her social media. And she took to Instagram on Wednesday to share further glamorous photographs from the holiday as she enjoyed a lavish dinner out. In the pictures, the influencer put on a stylish display in a green patterned mini dress, which she wore with a pair of silver sandals. Princess completed her outfit with a small black handbag and showed off her tan as she soaked up the rays on the balmy holiday. She simply captioned the photographs: 'Sunkissed.' Princess jetted off for the picture-perfect holiday after celebrating her 18th birthday on June 29. Her 18th birthday celebrations will be documented on her upcoming fly-on-the-wall ITV reality series, titled The Princess Diaries. Princess has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame in recent years, and has been cashing in on brand deals as well as her upcoming TV fame. She has already signed big money deals with clothing and beauty brands including Superdrug, Studio London, Morphe and Revolution. The model has amassed more than 743,000 followers on her Instagram and has vowed to become a 'millionaire by the age of 20'. She proudly revealed she had bought her first car with her own money just weeks before her 18th birthday. In 2024, Princess also made her modelling debut with PrettyLittleThing after signing a four-figure deal with the brand. A source revealed at the time: 'Princess is so excited, she's looked up to her mum for years and has aspired to model for a brand like PrettyLittleThing since she can remember. 'She knows she's still young at 16 but Pete is going to oversee her work with PLT to ensure she's protected and well looked after. 'The partnership was born organically after Princess posted on Instagram about wearing the brand, it's naturally a great fit for both parties.' Princess has lived her life in the spotlight as the daughter of showbiz legend Katie and pop star Peter, and is now following in their high-profile footsteps.

The former Britain's Got Talent star wasn't named but it was clear his image was a reference to Bonnie's love affair with dance. Her mum Sarah recalls how Bonnie and her dance partner won a trophy as runners-up in a dancing competition. Doubt Bonnie gets handed a trophy for her 'achievements' in her new job. We recently revealed how viewers were left outraged at Bonnie after she claimed she was a "community worker" while sleeping with 1,000 men. Bonnie said she sees herself as someone who is teaching men how to have better sex and describes the 1,000-men event as 'giving back' to her fans. In the same breath, she argued that she's 'not a world educator' and can't be held responsible for the culture of sexualisation our children are growing up in. Viewers online were quick to react with many on X branding it "disgusting" while another said that the whole documentary was a "disgrace". Many others took offence to her outrageous comment that her sex acts were a "community service". Angry viewers blasted her for "trying to normalise this behaviour" by influencing "impressionable" teenagers with "sick" views.
