Just a bit of minor info on Helen.
A good friend of mine works at Cannon Hall Farm, where her BBC show is filmed (Summer on the Farm, I think it's called). He said she is so lovely and down to earth, always smiling, and she's the glue that holds the show together when things go wrong. She's the one that knows where everyone should be and what they should be doing (more so than the producers/directors etc). And she never faltered, even when she was going through all the rubbish with her philandering husband. He also said she's very smart - "a lot smarter than she looks" were his actual words 😂

They deserve each other. It takes a particularly nasty type of person to walk out on tiny children. He really is every worst stereotype imaginable.

I doubt Helen is some kind of angel, nobody is perfect and let’s be truthful when you have a new baby with the sleepless nights and juggling everything relationships are usually under a fair amount of strain so I can well believe that there were issues in their marriage.

But if a marriage is over then act like an adult and leave, do it properly and respectfully. Don’t have an affair and then go public with your new relationship within a week or two of leaving the family home and continue to parade said relationship all over social media knowing this will be picked up by the press and that your children will eventually see all of this. It shows a horrible lack of thought for those children to do it so publicly.

And anyway many men(and women) stray even when they have a perfectly lovely partner and home life.

He must be either an extremely cold individual or a narcissist, wouldn’t you think in the back of his mind he’s thinking how heartbroken she must be or what effect it will have on her mental health. I can’t get over the brass neck of him never mind her, their will be a baby on the way next mark my words. His poor boys mustn’t know what’s going on and where has Daddy gone too, if I was Helen I’d be putting my foot firmly down and demand that he not have skanky knickers around those boys.
One thing I did notice was that photo was shared to her story on her private page and he was not tagged in it, he then screenshotted and shared that on his public page. He’s shared that knowing that it would be seen by people following him and that it would get back to Helen, how callous and calculated. He was also the one to unfollow her and be get papped Witn the new partner within days of the split. It’s like he’s deliberately trying to hurt, embarrass and cause her pain. What would drive someone to do this to the mother of their children? Awful.

Zippy and Dimwit have been keeping their heads down of late... I think daddy's had a word.
You’d like to think so, wouldn’t you? I watched Strictly last night for the first time in years. I hope it’s given her more confidence. She was brilliant. In a few years, her children will be watching back knowing how their father was a dog, left their mum, and how their mum went out their and stuck two fingers up to the pair of them. Helen wins on resilience alone. I hope this thread stays kind. Don’t kick another woman when she’s down.

I see daddy must have hired some reputational management as steph is in the mirror not wanting to be judged....it really annoys me they won't let helen have her time in strictly or just accept that what they did was wrong. When it comes to a 4 month baby - it's wrong. Apparently she has the up most respect for Helen which is why she s3agged her husband at the first opportunity.

Without turning a Tattle post into a Mumsnet post, I have to say I feel sorry for Helen’s kids and how much of a different life they are going to have compared to their half sibling

No doubt Daddy Zippy will pay for the best schools and lifestyle for his grandchild and obviously won’t (and to be fair shouldn’t) be paying for similar for his daughters baby daddy’s offspring

But as someone who has a very different upbringing to my half siblings I can say from experience that it does hurt even if I do love them to bits

Back to helen, she is looking glowing and so happy on the photos of them around the tour hotels etc. Am having some January blues and a few tears over my own cheating ex last few days so watched Mein Herr from the final (on YouTube) a couple of times this morning for a kick up the arse and it worked 🙂

Falling out of love is by no means a crime but isn’t it funny how many men realise they are no longer in love with their wife when she is pregnant or has small children. Uncanny!
Also uncanny how this realisation goes hand in glove with an affair as opposed to actually dealing with it or treating your partner with basic decency.

(And yes of course women have affairs all the time, it’s just statistically unlikely when they are pregnant / nursing / raising small children.)

Helen’s Dad has apparently said how good it is to see her being herself again and having fun. Richie clearly had quite an impact on her, but it’s great to see her fighting back in such a classy and positive way.

Interesting to hear comments that he had been “stolen”. It makes it sound like the poor lamb played no part in the process. As they say, it takes two to tango.

Helen is a credit to her herself, her children and her parents. She's handled things in such a classy dignified way.
Her gutter rat ex is somebody else's problem now.

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
Helen is one incredibly strong lady. May she have all the luck in the world on Strictly and beyond.

The new photo on Instagram, seems to me, a retaliation against the Vito story. Loved up pair, pregnancy very apparent.
Have some respect for the mother of your children and how you are conducting yourselves on a very public forum is not painting a positive picture ( not that they ever had one) I feel for the children.. its very sad that they clearly lack the capacity for decency or to consider the impact of their actions on anyone else.

Bet zippy is feeling confused this morning. Helen spent weeks alone with Gorka and they got to know each other well, but he loves his partner who is now expecting their second child - and I’m sure helen is a number one cheerleader for this.
See zippy, some women have class and don’t go trying to steal other peoples men - instead they celebrate happy relationships for others. You should try it some time (albeit too late for the damage you have done to three kids).
