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.
