Helen Skelton #2 looking glam and gorgeous every single Saturday night. Richie and his dog(s) bringing the bins in.

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 tit 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 tit on another person, who happens to be well known and well liked, so they need to just STFU and go away.

This. Why does she need PR? She doesn't have a public image to maintain. Helen hasn't been publicly slagging them off, so there's nothing for them to publicly respond to, she hasn't been dragged into anything against her will, she's not a celeb and could have told Richie not to post her private stories on his public account

It's possible the paps might have followed them because Helen being on Strictly is news at the moment, but I doubt most people really give a shite what she personally thinks.

Lying low is clearly the best option for both of them if they are really truly happy and want to get on with their lives

I know you shouldn’t be cruel about peoples looks but zippy is so strange looking and he looks absolutely HAGGERED. I don’t know if it’s their vile and ugly personalities shining through too!

I’m still baffled what attracted him to her she’s no looker so wouldn’t have the beauty to stand out to catch his eye (or anyone else’s for that matter). I’d say she totally blew smoke up his arse and was fawning all over him when they first met. And then contained that on while he was still with Helen.

 

[Rosie878]

I think zippy is a pretty girl with a good figure but let's be honest, I'm sure Richie's had attention from plenty of women in the past and it wasn't enough to leave his wife (even if he's cheated). I think he's definitely attracted to the wealth more than anything especially with the timing as he approaches retirement.

He wants an easy life.

I can only imagine what she can fit in that huge mouth of hers..

That must be the appeal

Agree with this. They could have kept things quiet, they didn’t need to make their relationship known within days of him leaving his wife, they didn’t need to share posts on open social media(she could have asked him not to reshare and could have avoided gushing comments on his posts). She isn’t known and he plays a sport that most people aren’t that bothered about, it wouldn’t have been hard to keep things private.

Also I find it so weird that she sells second hand clothes/shoes on Instagram. Is it all hers? The shoes are in quite varied sizes from 4-7(the ones I looked at anyway) Is it her attempt at a business to maybe keep daddy happy that she is doing something of her own?

Helen looks blumming beautiful tonight.
Its the biggest F U she could give those 2 wipes

Agreed. Voted for her

 

[Mcsemma]

Agreed. Voted for her

I think she'll be a finalist. She's definitely got what it takes

Agree. Helen is a class act.

I love how strictly have been totally subtly trolling zippy and bungle. They could have easily gone down the pity route but instead have given her stunning costumes, bigged up what an inspiration she is and I wonder who the big bad wolf was supposed to be. If I was an increasingly growing bigger zippy I'd be feeling very inferior and insecure.

 

[Beaology]

I once read having a baby is like throwing a grenade into a relationship. I can’t see Zippy being the one who survives the fallout. They hardly no each other.
I hope Helen finds a wonderful rugged Uber man to give her the life she deserves.

The baby will probably have a higher IQ than the father, even at only a few weeks old. I can't imagine Zippy was seduced by Bungle's deep-thinking and vast knowledge of the arts.

Didn’t he used to play for Warrington wolves?

Haha yeah he did too

 

[Octopies]

Yep agree - they don’t need PR, they don’t need to do an interview to try and spin this in their favour, they just need to go away.
if this woman has any intention of gaining any fame from this she will be sadly disappointed.
People who do stuff like this are never forgotten.

Sometimes mens reputations fare better (unjustly) but I can’t see that happening here since he’s completely unlikable and not very famous.
What a sad little life, Jane.

Also apparently the results are announced in random order, so they announced she was safe last night completely last! I bet they were praying she would be in the dance off!

True. Alesha and Harvey didn’t have kids. When you add a new born baby to the mix their behaviour is grotesque. It actually makes me feel a bit Ill that they were just out there guilt-free having the time of their lives while Helen looked after the newborn. They both must have 0 morals.

This is from an interview in the Yorkshire Post with Andrew Thirkill. From May ‘22. I think I would have just put ‘my family’ rather than mention Stephanie by name at this point in time.
