He just wanted a quick shag, slap and tickle and an escape from her in doors. He’s ended up knocking her up and now his ex wife has turned into a national treasure 🤣🤣🤣
Silly crinkly raisin - what have you done?!

Absolutely rooting for Helen!! I really admire the way she's been so dignified when she must of been devastated.

I've just got huge admiration for how she's handled it all - I don't even think she's mentioned him once since they split? And doing Strictly feels like a really positive move. Not to mention the fact she got my favourite pro, the lovely Gorka 😍😆

And as for her ex and his girlfriend - people split up for all sorts of reasons, but christ, imagine thinking that a bloke who probably cheated on his pregnant wife then left her with a newborn and 2 kids, is some sort of prize catch

I think @Definitelyme meant what is he playing at leaving his wife take a tiny baby away to cope on her own with.. the word letting wasn’t meant literally if that makes sense? That’s my interpretation anyway

To go on the show, knowing her ex husband did the dirty so very recently, having it played out in the press, etc etc is inspiring. She probably wants to curl up and die most days, but she hasn’t quit and keeps on going. I really hope she knows how much of a trooper she really is. Awesome.

Love her ❤ Am a similar age to helen with an equally as ‘nice’ ex.. who has made the last year as well as this time of year particularly difficult for me. She has come across with such grace and I couldn’t admire her any more for every single moment of the last 3 months. Good luck to the cheating pair; I can’t help but feel that from this moment on they are irrelevant to her future.

Cheers to all that have felt similar pain, have supported helen and watched her guide herself and the kids through it without fault 🥂

I keep thinking like if Steph and Richie just did an interview, let the interviewer ask brutal questions and just answer them then it’ll die down. The problem is they’re ignoring it but it’s not going away is it and mainly because Helen’s career is going strength to strength. If Steph wants people to stop saying horrible things then she needs to hire some decent PR and start to show people she’s not the bad person they think she is. Just friday night musings.. on the other hand it’s like urgh just delete your media’s and go live your lives then. Go to work and do your thing. Richie’s problem is it’ll follow him in whatever he does because he’s a rugby player and every article about him will mention his ex wife and the kids blah blah so he’s never going to get away from it but if Steph wants the shit attitudes to her to stop she’s going to have to do something. But as I’ve said yeah she doesn’t do guilt or she wouldn’t have started with him etc. it’s all a vicious circle. The press will hound them for that bump pic as well so until they stop being so secretive about it all (unless they like that) then they won’t be left alone.

I think the opposite. They haven't been private and they have been far from ignoring it! Her father has been paying for puff pieces in the papers with her crying about how she's not a bad person and how her pregnancy is being ruined, they have posted loved up pictures of themselves on Instagram about their new 'family'. They didn't need to do any of that, and she doesn't need a public profile. Shes just some rich blokes spoilt kid. The press are only interested in them because of Helen. She hasn't earned anything in her life and is only known because she shagged a famous persons husband. Both of them could slink away and live their lives in private. They don't need PR or anything like that. They shouldn't need people to like them. They don't rely on people liking them to make money. They made the decision to shit on another person, who happens to be well known and well liked, so they need to just STFU and go away.

Harrogate is small, it’s amazing who knows who… amazing what you find out . They were having an affair for awhile before they were found out. Baby zippy will be arriving next year

I just genuinely can’t imagine what goes through someone’s mind to think “ah yes, this man is married/in a relationship, this is the one I want, fuck his partner/wife and kids” What sort of moral compass does someone have to think like that and be ok with it? And don’t start me on him. He’s a unt with a capital C.

I think Gorka was the perfect partner for her, in a strong relationship with another northerner, strong supportive, but not likely to cross the line. Others might have tried to take it further and she'd end up hurt again. Though I do hope she shagged one of the other hot dancers at least once to get dickhead out of her system

this may be an unpopular opinion, but this is the one bit in that whole saga where I dont want to judge him. There are many good reasons to leave a marriage even during pregnancy or if a child is just born. Marriages aren't necessarly happy just because you recently decided to get children, in many cases pregnancy actually only happen to reignite relationships even.

Of course you could argue that he should have stayed a couple of months/years to get through the initial phase with the newborn, but what then? The boys are 7 and 5. I believe there are studies that show that kids are the most impacted by a divorce when they are in elementary/early middle school age as they are old enough to understand and young enough to be scared, so I think it's good to not delay this. Plus parents that stay together but actually dont want each other (or one of them) cause usually a bigger damage than them being seperated.

Of course the big question is now how much involved he is as a seperated father, it doesnt seem much (and he behaves in public definitely disrespectful), but we dont really know in the end.

He didn’t just leave a marriage though. He had an affair and then left his family for his mistress. If things are bad then go but don’t screw around and line up a replacement before you do.

Well done to those who called it. I am speechless. Poor Helen. life is so unfair at times. I know she has a supportive network around her but this is just so cruel especially as she’s trying to move on.

He puts that up just as Helen debuts on Strictly. He comes across as vindictive and cruel when he is one who was in the wrong.

It has been said before but I just have to say again, absolute kudos to Helen for how she has handled this all so privately and with dignity and respect. Not a single hint at a public spat, just seemingly living her best life. I’m sure behind the scenes is different and I hope she stays strong and happy… but it is so rare these days to see it with anyone in the public eye. She is amazing. Her kids will be able to Google her down the line and see nothing but nice family happy Mum around this time. Hats off to her! I wish I’d have had that inner strength when me and my husband split up 😂 We live and learn!

Can I request some more aimed at Richie? He deserves to be the butt of the joke too.

You're right. I do feel bad picking on Stephanie, especially as I am a man and she's with child. I don't want to be seen as a misogynistic prick. I'm really not, I just enjoy taking the piss out of people. Here you go ...

Omg what an absolute set of horrible bastards! That mumsnet post cracks me up, ‘Richie has stayed silent’. Yeah course he has 😂 he’s the one who has cheated on his wife and left her and their small children for his bit on the side.

I’ve never seen anyone age as quickly and badly as him, I’d say he knows he’s fucked up but is pretending all is rosey with wide gob. He’s also hated now because of his actions I wouldn’t say he likes that hence getting rid of Instagram. I can't wait for him to get his karma.

My ex cheated on me and let me for someone else. He text me on xmas eve telling me how miserable he is at his job and alluding to him and his skank having split. It may take a few years, but karma will catch up eventually, and it’s definitely coming for ol’ Ritchie

I appreciate affairs can be a symptom rather than the cause of relationship problems but the responsibility of the affair lies with the person who decided to cheat.

Of course Richie was unhappy. Men are most likely to cheat when their partner is pregnant / they have small children - because it’s a tough time. Dickheads.

Also I’d love to know how Helen is ‘portraying herself as an innocent woman’ - all I see is her going about her business? Reeks of misogyny frankly.
