"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." They were pictured close at the Baftas and last year were spotted at a charity ball set up by Rob Burrow's sisters, with a source adding about the ball: "It was very clear that Helen and Gethin were together as a couple at the event. "They were with close friends of Helen's and their connection was undeniable." The insider continued: "Helen and Gethin have been able to attend events together without much fanfare purely because they're work colleagues ... but anyone who has seen them at these bashes will testify they look extremely cosy." The Sun has contacted their representatives for comment. Helen's husband Richie left her for Stephanie Thirkill in 2022. The Strictly star faced further heartbreak when her rugby player ex went on to have two children with his new love. Gethin, who has previously dated former Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh and was engaged to mezzo-soprano singer Katherine Jenkins, recently revealed that he's had little success on the dating scene. He said he was struck off the popular dating app Hinge because women didn't believe his profile was really him. Gethin Jones drops huge hint that BBC star has signed up for Strictly Come Dancing 2024 He joked about his love life on Gordon Smart's Restless Natives podcast: "Writing to an online dating app ... 'Hi it's Gethin here, 46. "'I just want to get my money back because it's not really working for me,' eating some cereal because I hadn't got some food in.'" Helen and Gethin took part in an epic Comic Relief challenge earlier this year and both gushed about each other after raising £34million for charity. Helen said on social media: "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." Gethin returned the praise by saying: "And a little appreciation post for this super woman. Unbelievable physical and mental resilience… "Loves a laugh but a deep thinker (I had to remind her a few times we were live on TV). "It says a lot that you can spend 24 hours with someone and still call them an hour later for a debrief…" He previously spoke about feeling at his lowest point after his split in 2011 from Katherine. He said: 'I was engaged and then breaking up, afterwards, or even during that period, it was just awful. 'I remember doing BBC Radio 5Live and going into the toilet at 5.30am going, 'All right. Come on. Just focus for the next three hours, and then you can go back to being sad again.' "I definitely had a bad bout of depression during that time." 7 They were spotted leaving the Baftas after party together Credit: Splash 7 Helen appeared on Stictly shortly after her split from husband Richie Credit: PA

Morning Live's return date finally revealed after channel shakeup saw it off air for weeks – and there's not long to go
MORNING Live's return date has finally been revealed after BBC bosses pulled the show off air for weeks. The daytime hit- which stars Gethin Jones, Helen Skelton and Michelle Ackerley - typically airs directly after BBC Breakfast wraps up at 9:30am each weekday. 2 Morning Live's return date has been revealed after it was pulled off air Credit: BBC 2 Gethin Jones and his co-stars will be back on air on Tuesday May 6 Credit: BBC However, it was pulled from screens last week as confused viewers were met with episodes of Rip Off Britain. The consumer series helps customers who feel they've been taken advantage of by large and small businesses. Beeb bosses didn't confirm when Morning Live would be back with new episodes, with listings for this week previously saying its slot was "off air". But as episodes of Rip Off Britain continue to air in the show's place in the schedule, its return has now been confirmed. Morning Live will be live from Salford with brand new episodes from Tuesday, May 6 on BBC One and iPlayer. While fans have been left furious at the show's break, the BBC previously confirmed it was planned and has happened before in the past. Last July Morning Live was taken off air for a full month by bosses as the hosts enjoyed their summer holidays. Earlier this year, former Blue Peter star Gethin Jones sent fans into a frenzy after his Instagram post teased an "engagement". The popular BBC presenter shared a beautifully shot video on his social media account, where he appeared to pop the question. However, the final moments of the video revealed it to be a promotional ad for Clogau. Red-faced Gethin Jones is forced to step in as Morning Live interview is halted by technical issues
