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."

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."
