helen skelton : Most liked Posts

Who knows the reasons why he had an affair (probably the usual - fragile ego, not getting enough attention etc etc), but I can't imagine he ever envisioned it kickstarting a chain of events that would end up with Helen becoming a bit of a national treasure. Funny how things turn out isn't it

Bit suspect that he just so happens to meet someone a few weeks after his marriage split. Most people give themselves a bit of breathing space before going out on the pull. No doubt he had this person lined up before he jumped ship.

I don’t think anyone should stay in a relationship they’re not happy in but the way he’s gone about things is just disgusting. Thankfully the baby girl is too young to know anything but the two boys absolutely will. They’ve had to deal with a new baby sister, their father leaving then another baby sibling arriving, the mother of whom they hardly even know. Awful upheaval and instability for them. It’s completely indefensible to do that to your children, regardless of who did what during the marriage.

I’m friends with a family who have recently had to deal with similar. Husband was having an affair, which resulted in a pregnancy and prompted him to leave the marriage (which already had children). The whole family have been affected, his parents are devastated and confused - they have a new grandchild by someone they didn’t even know existed and have no idea if they will be able to have a relationship or involvement with. People like him and Richie just think with their trousers and have no consideration for anyone else and the consequences of their actions. Who cares if Helen sold some happy family photos, Richie and his bit are utterly shameless and if I were Helen I’d never be able to forgive him for doing this to his own children.

I love how she is just getting on with it. No poor me or passive aggressive posts, no digs at the ex or his current side piece, just living her life and doing her best by her kids.

Yaaassss Helen! Phenomenal.....what a fuck you to those gobshites

I didn’t realise how many challenges Helen had done for Blue Peter, she’s bloody amazing !! She danced much more confidently tonight & she looked so happy. Go on Girl !!!

I don’t care how much of a knob someone is at home, there is a way to do things. To me, that way is not being public with your new lover 4 months after you’ve split with your wife of x amount of years. The same wife who you have three young children with, one of them being a small baby.

Helen is apparently upset by all the press interest especially with the photos whilst she is carrying on with her daily life. The pictures of Helen have apparently been taken close to the kids school, doctors etc. Whilst I'm on a gossip site I completely disagree with the innocent party getting papped doing whilst simply caring for her kids.

I'm a man, so I know what men are like ... a bit thick and led by the dick (ok, I'm generalizing). But tell me, why would a woman think having an affair with a married man who had 3 kids, plus a celebrity wife is the 'move' to make? I could sort of understand a cheeky shag in the broom-cupboard at work ... but of all the men zippy had access too, why choose a him? She must have the mentality of an adolescent or something, surely you'd think to yourself "Pwoooar, I fancy him ... but he's married, he's off-limits, I'll look around for some other bloke". Is he THAT much of a sweet-talker? He don't look it, I gotta be honest, he looks like a meathead.

I’m loving all the posts about how rough Ritchie looks my friend saw my ex a couple of days ago called me up to say how horrific he looked.

Bags dropping down into his chin and an alcoholics eyes and nose. Yes that’s what happens when your a lying cheating narcissistic twat! I’m praying Helen wins strictly, meets a hot bloke and Ritchie cheats on Zippy.

how many mistresses always claim the ex wife is terrible. Richie played the poor me act obviously to this one

It could be you know she’s using the kids against him. Bitter woman scorned. I’m finding it very hard to believe she’s as innocent as the media and herself are portraying.

As someone who has been in the exact same position as Helen (ex walked out when our child was three weeks old for the local trollop who hed had an affair with throughout my pregnancy) it's more likely he's too wrapped up in his "new life" to remember or give a toss about his old one... going by my own experience I'd reckon its more a case of he's a useless twat who's kids are just getting in the way of his life atm rather than Helen being bitter.

Nice to see a dad of three very young kids who are still recovering from a family break up can look so casual, relaxed, enjoying a glass of wine. It's almost like he couldn't give a rats arse.

What a nasty little prick he is, showing his true colours now. Sucking up to her family big time.

People are annoyed with her because she seems to lack any sense of remorse about what’s happened and has plastered lovey dovey photos all over her social media right from the beginning. Had they laid low for a bit I don’t think she’d be coping as much flack as she is now.

It’s weird how they are courting the national press, he isn’t famous, nobody really gives a crap about rugby league(unless you follow), the players aren’t celebs and their wags aren’t known like footballers are. The only player most people on the street could probably name is Rob Burrows.
The only reason there is interest in what has happened is because of Helen, If they had kept their heads down then they would have become old news pretty quickly, there might have been local gossip but in the national press it would have been forgotten but instead they are setting up staged photos. Reeks of someone wanting the limelight.

'The best revenge is a life well lived' and Helen is the living proof!
Looking forward to the reprise of Mein Herr at the weekend. Mein Herr meaning “my man” is a song about an over controlling man who tried to change his woman to tame her and her reaction being that he cannot change her seeing as “a tiger is a tiger not a lamb”.
Suck it up, Dimwit.

All well deserved, just hope she continues with On The Farm. She should have won and Gorka thought so too judging by his reaction to the result. She had the class to talk up Gorka and his three strictly finals. There were no dodgy press headlines about them. She is close to Gemma Atkinson and I love how her and Gorka were more about high fives then being overall touchy like most couples usually are. She's had a great series.

I don’t think we need any spoiler alerts to know what the inevitable outcome of this will be.

Plus this will also be her first kid and his 4th. A new baby is hard enough, never mind with that difference in between them.

He’ll have his ferret up someone else’s drainpipe by NYE, let’s see.
