Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones split as he returns to dating app 'keen to meet other women'
Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones have 'ended their rumoured romance' after the former Blue Peter presenter was 'spotted on a popular dating app' Gethin Jones and Helen Skelton appear to have called it 'quits' on their rumoured romance, as Gethin has reportedly returned to a dating app. The popular BBC presenters have shared a close friendship for some time, which was believed to have blossomed into something more after they were seen leaving the BAFTAs together in May. While they never officially confirmed a relationship, the pair had been spotted spending time together away from work, including a recent spa day at a country club. But it seems the brief romance has fizzled out as Gethin has reportedly been spotted on celebrity app Raya while he enjoys a trip to Australia, where he's been watching the British and Irish Lions' tour with a group of mates, the Mirror reports. It comes days after a further hint that things were heating up between the pair when Gethin, 47, took to his Instagram stories to publicly wish Helen happy birthday as she turned 42 earlier this month. "Gethin is on the prowl Down Under which puts the nail in the coffin for his romance with Helen," a source told Mail Online. "He's there with pals but keen to meet other women. "There is no way Helen would stand for that if they were together and he has far too much respect for her to even go behind her back. Despite having an increasingly close connection it's cooled down significantly which is gutting for fans who really wanted them to be together." The pair have both endured heartbreak in recent years. Gethin's engagement to Katherine Jenkins was called off in 2011 and he's experienced a series of short relationships since. Meanwhile Helen separated from ex-husband Richie Myler - with whom she shares three children - back in 2022. Helen and Leeds Rhinos rugby player Richie, 35, had been married for eight years and had just welcomed their third child, Elsie, when they parted ways. He now has two more children with Stephanie Thirkhill, also 35, whose millionaire father Andrew Thirkill is the president of Richie's rugby club. Shocking her followers at the time, Helen revealed the devastating news of her split on Instagram as she shared: "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." While writing her 2023 autobiography, In My Stride, Helen opened up about the heartbreak of her unexpected separation. She shared candid reflections on the emotional toll it took, admitting that the breakup came as a shock and wasn't something she had ever seen coming. She penned: "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."

Helen Skelton gushes over Gethin Jones in Instagram post
The mum-of-three has been a mainstay on British television for several years now, featuring on Morning Live alongside Gethin Jones. For months, reports have circulated about Skelton and Jones, with neither confirming nor denying certain rumours about a relationship. But recently, Helen shared a gushing social media post about her co-star Gethin following the pair's roller disco endurance challenge for Comic Relief. She described Gethin as a "legend" and shared her respect for him, writing: "My dear @gethincjones …. 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. "I can gush, he doesn't read beyond one paragraph on an insta post" While neither Helen nor Gethin has addressed these rumours, it's clear that the pair share an incredibly strong friendship. Helen joined the Morning Live team in 2023 following her stint on Blue Peter, while Gethin has been on the popular show since the beginning, relocating to Altrincham in south Manchester back in 2022. She previously told 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. Recommended reading: "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 said. "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."

Harlech Foodservice acquires Gwynedd company Oren Foods
Harlech Foodservice has taken over Penrhyndeudraeth-based fruit and vegetable wholesaler Oren Foods. The company, which was named Food Wholesaler of the Year by The Caterer magazine, has guaranteed the jobs of all 25 Oren Foods employees. David Cattrall, managing director of Harlech Foodservice, said: "Adding fresh fruit and vegetables to our offer fills a gap for our customers. "It's always been our ambition to be a total range supplier and buying up a well-established and respected local business fills a gap in our range of products. "All the staff at Oren has been offered their job on the same terms and that's something we were committed to from the start of our discussions." By September, the company plans to fully integrate Oren into Harlech's main site. Oren Foods, originally launched 45 years ago as Ffrwythau DJ Fruit by Dei and Cheryl Jones, was rebranded in 2021 and has been run for the past 12 years by their son, Gethin Dwyfor. The business supplies fruit and vegetables to schools, care homes, restaurants, hotels, cafes, and nursing homes across North Wales. Mr Dwyfor said: "The company was originally called DJ Fruits but we changed it to Oren and it's always been my plan to build the business and to have a clear succession plan. "My dream was for a partnership with a locally based company and that has happened and it was always going to be a condition that our staff could keep their jobs and Harlech have always given that assurance. "I will stay on and continue to be involved and that's very exciting for me as well. "I've run the business for 12 years and this will now be a new challenge for me with a bigger business." Mr Cattrall praised Mr Dwyfor and the Oren team.

"We don't have a fresh fruit and vegetable offer and this now gives us a total food service solution for our customers. "It's a great fit because the Oren operation dovetails neatly with what we do and their ethos as a family-run business chimes perfectly with our approach "Gethin's role will be help us settle in and to make sure we have a smooth transfer of the business and provide our customers with the right range of stock and the right produce. "And that will be Welsh whenever possible."
