"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."

Countryfile's Helen Skelton thrills fans as they praise 'beautiful' partnership
Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton has teased something big is on the way as she shared some exciting news with fans on social media, and they are absolutely delighted Countryfile's very own Helen Skelton has sparked excitement among her followers after dropping a tantalising hint of something exciting in the pipeline. The ex- Strictly star, who has charmed viewers on Countryfile since 2014, and also brightens our mornings on BBC 's Morning Live, appears to be heralding the arrival of another TV treat for her fans. Taking to Instagram, Helen stirred up excitement with a series of snapshots suggesting that a beloved show is gearing up for a comeback. In the photos, the 41-year-old beams alongside Dan Walker, hinting at a new season of Yorkshire Great And Small With Dan and Helen. Helen playfully captioned the snap with Dan: "Amazing who you meet out and about in Yorkshire..... @mrdanwalker @daisybeckstudios @channel5_tv." The post quickly whipped up enthusiasm, racking up over 12,000 likes as eager fans relayed their joy at the prospect of the show's return. Comments poured in from supporters expressing their delight. One chimed in with: "Absolutely love walking here! So happy you're doing another fabulous series! Just love it." Another celebrated: "Great photos. Lovely that you are doing another series. Superb!" A third added: "Two of my favourite telly people." While yet another posted: "Please tell me this is a new series." Further admirers praised what they perceive as a perfect on-screen duo. One fan commented: "Beautiful photo of you both", and another echoed this idea with: "what a nice pair." Yorkshire Great And Small With Dan and Helen is the Channel 5 series that has viewers hooked as the presenters delve into the wonders of Yorkshire. Following a hit first series, it seems the dynamic duo are embarking on more escapades, much to the delight of their fans. While Helen gears up for new explorations, whispers of her growing closeness with another colleague have surfaced. Rumours are swirling that she's been seen out with Gethin Jones, her co-host from Morning Live, though their relationship status remains unconfirmed. The rumour mill went into overdrive last month when the pair were seen looking rather cosy at the TV Baftas. Adding fuel to the fire, eagle-eyed followers spotted what appeared to be "flirty" exchanges between them on social media. Insiders have suggested that the two were "all over each other" during a recent visit to a country club and spa in Manchester, catching onlookers off guard with their affectionate display. A source told The Sun: "Gethin and Helen were all over each other. They are clearly super comfortable with each other and it wasn't just like two friends hanging out. "Helen was really laughing and smiling as they spent time together before heading off in the late afternoon." Last month whispers started to spread alleging that Helen and Gethin's professional partnership might have turned romantic. "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," an insider divulged to MailOnline. However, it's believed both Helen and Gethin are currently unattached. While Gethin hasn't shied away from the dating scene since his break up with Katherine Jenkins in 2011, Helen went her separate ways from former husband Richie Myler in 2022.

Helen Flanagan's dig to ex Scott Sinclair that he's 'getting nothing' for Father's Day
Coronation Street actress Helen, 34, shares kids Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and four-year-old son Charlie with the former Celtic star. Helen Flanagan has made a subtle swipe at her ex, former Celtic stat Scott Sinclair, in her latest social media post. The single mum-of-three shares kids Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and four-year-old son Charlie with her former partner. The Corrie star, 34, took to her Instagram page where she shared a humorous meme of Whitney Houston belting out one of her hit singles I Have Nothing, in which the clip selected her rifting the word in the song 'nothing'. The meme was captioned alongside the audio of, "What are you getting your baby daddy for father's day?," to which Helen had shared the post on her own page alongside a string of laughing emojis. Elsewhere, the actress has been promoting her new underwear collection. She was delighted to share the news and racy snaps with her followers, which comes just recently after her split with Robbie Talbot. The pair began dating during Helen's stint on Celebs Go Dating, where she was nearly axed from the agency for appearing on the programme despite being romantically involved with Robbie. Helen and Robbie dated briefly following Celebs Go Dating. She is believed to have been keen to have kids with dad-of-two Robbie, with insiders reporting the pair had a "grown-up" conversation when realising their relationship was not progressing. Helen is said to have found it difficult balancing being a full-time mum alongside both her career and relationship expectations. Adding further stress, the actress recently placed her 'forever home' on the market amid rumours of financial pressures. The former I'm A Celebrity star has candidly opened up previously about her struggles with both finances and her mental health. She confessed there was a point where she was left without any money. Helen previously resided in the eight-bedroom property located in Bolton, Greater Manchester, along with her former partner Scott, 36, and their children, before separating in 2022. In a heartfelt Instagram post in January, she divulged: "My love life was a s**t show.... I didn't look after my mental health. I felt so s**t and sad. I felt like my whole life was f***ed up now and I had the perfect family. 13 years is a long time to be with someone. My whole 20s. I had a lot of family fall-outs too and I also lost basically all my money. Me and Scott weren't married we were engaged. "My mental health was so bad I thought maybe my kids would be better off without me and maybe they would be better off with their dad as he's more level-headed than me. I love my kids more than words can say, but when you are not well you're not well." Meanwhile, Helen has been busy soaking up the sun in Ibiza as she shared a weekend recap of topping up her tan during a gifted stay. She gushed over the "stunning ocean views" in her luxury apartment, which featured a bath overlooking the Island.

Helen Skelton reveals 'good relationships' and 'tough times'
Helen – who celebrates her 42nd birthday on 19 July – reminds herself to be grateful for this current chapter. The mother of three from Carlisle has been a mainstay on our screens for some time, owing to her love of the outdoors and tips for parents. 🙌🙌🙌 reunited She said to Hello! "The older you get, the more you realise every year is a total privilege," she says. "I've lost people young that should still be here, so, of course, I'd love the metabolism that I had in my twenties or a few less lines around my face, but at the minute, it all still works, so I don't take any of it for granted." Ahead of entering her 42nd year, Helen reflects on her greatest personal learning. "You've just got to sit in the moment that you're in," she said. "That's the good thing about being a countryside person and being a sports person. It's the ultimate lesson in that nothing stays the same. "When you're in a good time, just really lean into it and make the most of it – if your relationship is good or your kids are good, just rinse every second of it but equally, the bad times don't last either. Tough times don't stay tough forever. Recommended reading: Helen Skelton reveals she feels 'lucky' to be with Gethin Jones on Morning Live "The only thing that you can be sure of is that the sun is going to rise and the sun is going to set. Accepting that everything changes is really quite liberating. "I've got a series with my good friend Dan Walker, who I adore, and we walk about Yorkshire, we belly laugh. "I've just finished filming a series with my friend JB Gill and my other friend Jules Hudson, so that's a bit like Blue Peter for adults. I do all kinds of mad things."
