More info Morning Live star Gethin Jones addressed why he was presenting the show alone on Tuesday while speaking to BBC Breakfast star Ben Thompson. Ben handed over to Gethin for him to detail what viewers could expect to see on the programme, including segments from Dr Ranj Singh and Iona Bain. He said: "Gethin, thank you. I'm glad you've got some company in your studio. I'm all on my tod this morning!" However, Gethin was quick to highlight that although he had people with him throughout the show, he was fronting it solo. The BBC star replied: "You know, I thought the same! Unfortunately, Kym Marsh has got a bit of a sickness bug. So, Ranj is going to have two hats on today, expert and co-host as well, so I've got plenty of friends!" Morning Live didn't air on Monday, although on the last episode, which was broadcast on Friday, Gethin was seen co-hosting alongside Helen Skelton. Ben Thompson was hosting BBC Breakfast as regular anchor Sally Nugent was broadcasting live from Liverpool. The 53-year-old was showing the aftermath of the parade on Monday, which saw a car plough into a crowd of people. Opening up the show, she commented: "We are live from Liverpool city centre this morning after 47 people were injured yesterday. "They had been here celebrating with Liverpool Football Club for their Premiere League victory as the parade came through this very famous street at the front of Liverpool's waterfront. Hundreds of thousands of people were here, but the scene turned into carnage." Detailing that a child and an adult had been seriously injured, Sally shared a further 25 people had been taken to the hospital, with many more treated for their injuries at the scene. The BBC star shared that the police have released a statement stating a 53-year-old white British man, who they believe was the driver of the car, has been arrested. The statement read: "The incident is not currently being treated as terrorism." During the show, Sally spoke to the Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, Steve Rotheram, who said: "Our thoughts are with those people who are still injured, and the sentiments that you've heard from the former players and from Everton Football Club resonates with everybody. I think everybody here feels exactly the same way." BBC Breakfast and Morning Live are both available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

Gethin Jones 'ticks all boxes' for Helen Skelton as romance details unveiled
Gethin Jones is 'ticking all of the boxes' for rumoured love interest Helen Skelton, a source has revealed, as the BBC Morning Live co-stars get closer and closer. Gethin Jones is 'ticking all of the boxes' for Helen Skelton, reveals a source. The BBC Morning Live co-stars have found themselves in the centre of the rumour mill as news of their reported romance circulated last week. And now, a source tells Mirror that Helen and Gethin have a 'natural' chemistry and revealed the duo have been growing closer. 'Helen and Gethin are definitely getting close, they've been on a few outings together. Gethin has helped her though some really tough times, it's not been an easy few years for Helen, but he has been a tower of strength for her," said the source. Helen's tough times began in April 2022 when the 41-year-old announced her shock separation from husband, rugby player Richie Myler, just four months after the birth of their third child. The split was reportedly unexpected, leaving Helen blindsided. She stunned followers at the time when she broke the upsetting news on Instagram, saying, '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. ' Following the separation, Helen moved back to her hometown in Cumbria with her children, Ernie, nine, Louis, eight, and Elsie, three, and has since focused on her career and kids. She enjoyed a stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, which she said allowed her to grieve the end of her marriage. Following Helen and Richie's abrupt separation, Richie, 35, began a new relationship and has welcomed two more children since. Sharing that this is the first time Helen has felt a spark since her split, our source claimed: 'Helen and Gethin get on really well and are keen to get closer. They're getting to know each other on a deeper level and are really enjoying each other's company. They make each other laugh and Gethin is the first person since Helen's divorce that she's actually been keen on.' They go on to say, 'Gethin is very kind and ticks all of the boxes for Helen, he has made her feel good again. She thinks he's a good egg and it's something that Helen is hoping will grow into a real relationship. They would like to do more work together too since they work so well together, everyone can see that it's natural.' The popular TV stars, who are both presenters on BBC daytime show Morning Live, left the recent Bafta TV Awards together and first fuelled romance rumours in March with their joint 24-hourroller-skating challenge for Comic Relief. During the challenge Gethin, 47, publicly praised Helen's resilience and sense of humour. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he described their deep mutual respect, sharing that even after spending 24 hours straight with the mum-of-three, he called her within an hour to debrief, reflecting their strong connection. Gushing over how much he enjoyed spending time with Helen, Gethin also let slip a secret nickname for her, as he captioned a snap of the star sporting her red nose, 'famous ferret'. Commenting on the partnership at this time, one fan replied, 'You two belong together. Love you guys. Epic challenge, a pleasure to watch.' Another who noticed their connection from the post gushed, 'Cooooome on!!! It's staring you both in the face!!' Since then, the pair have been spotted together at high-profile events, including the TV Baftas and a charity ball, where their cosy, relaxed demeanour together didn't go unnoticed. Fans have also taken to social media to express their excitement over the potential pairing since the rumours came to light. One took to X to say, 'Jeez u can feel the chemistry between Gethin and Helen in Morning Live lol'. While neither Helen nor Gethin has confirmed or denied any romantic involvement, their interactions continue to fuel the rumour mill.
