Helen Skelton believes life is 'too short to not have fun'
Helen Skelton is too busy to worry about what other people think of her.
Helen Skelton believes "life’s too short" to not have fun.
The 41-year-old TV presenter - who has Ernie, nine, Louis, seven, and Elsie, two, with her ex-husband Richie Myler - has revealed that she's simply too busy to worry about what other people think of her.
Helen told the Mirror newspaper: "I think we’re past counting calories aren’t we? It’s not fun. You get to a point when you think life’s too short not to not have fun."
Helen - who split from Richie in 2022 - admits that her home life is particularly hectic at the moment.
She said: "It’s like Piccadilly Circus around here.
"I always say it’s not a kid that needs a nanny, I need a nanny - to do all the boring stuff."
Despite this, Helen recognises that she's in a fortunate position in her life.
The TV star shared: "I’m very lucky ... most of my friends work way more, in offices or schools or hospitals.
"They take the mick because I don’t work half as much as they do. TV work is feast or famine, so you have a crazy few weeks, then you have a really quiet month."
Meanwhile, Helen previously confessed to being in a state of "shock" after her split from Richie.
The former 'Blue Peter' presenter - who married Richie in 2013 - admitted that she "didn’t see it coming" at all.
In her autobiography, 'In My Stride', Helen shared: "I was in shock.
"I know that following break-ups, people often say they didn’t see it coming and it sounds like a cliche, but that was me."
Despite this, Helen wants Richie to remain a constant presence in the lives of their children.
She said: "I want them to know that we loved each other, but things change and that’s OK, too."
