Helen Skelton lined up for Celebs Go Dating as show makes big money offer after her split from rugby star husband
HELEN Skelton has been lined up for Celebs Go Dating following her split from husband Richie Myer last year.
The TV presenter, 39, is currently enjoying single life after the shock break up and a fun few months taking part on Strictly – and bosses of the Channel 4 show think she would be a perfect fit.
A source said: “Helen has already proved she is great on TV and is really interesting to watch.
“The public really felt for her after her split and bosses think everyone would love to see her dating journey.
“They are willing to offer her big bucks to take part, but it looks like Helen really isn’t interested in sharing that part of her life. It would take a lot to change her mind.”
Celebs Go Dating sees celebrities try to find love with the help of experts Anna Williamson and Paul C Brunson.
Helen’s eight-year marriage to Richie fell apart early in 2022, not long after she had given birth to their third child, Elsie.
The rugby player has since moved on and is expecting another child with his current girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Helen has reportedly grown close to fellow Strictly star Vito Coppola after going on tour together.
The Mirror claims that the Countryfile presenter and the hunky Italian pro “bonded” after spending a lot of time together on the tour bus.
It’s reported that the pair frequently snuck off on cosy coffee dates for two while on the road, and if the tour cast went out for a group dinner they “would sit together, deep in conversation.”
