After being spotted leaving the BAFTAs together last weekend, Sparks are said to be flying between TV favorites Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones, who are “growing closer and closer.”
Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones’ close friendship is developing into a deeper connection, it has been claimed.
The single stars – close pals thanks to their time together on Morning Live – have both had their hearts broken after Gethin’s engagement to Katherine Jenkins was called off, and after Helen split from ex-husband Richie Myler back in 2022.
Last weekend, they were spotted leaving the BAFTAs together, and their laughter at the bash prompted a wagging tongue. According to reports, they are both getting closer right now, and it seems like there are beginning to fly sparks between them.
“Helen and Gethin have an extremely close working relationship and there’s a feeling in recent months their friendship has blossomed into a deeper connection. They’re both keen to keep a lid on it to avoid public scrutiny but there’s no denying their closeness both on and off screen,” a source told MailOnline.

Helen and Leeds Rhinos rugby player Myler had welcomed their third child, Elsie, four months before ending the marriage. Helen shocked her followers at the time when she broke the upsetting news on Instagram. “Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co parent our small children,” she wrote.
Rugby league player Richie, 34, started dating Stephanie Thirkill, whose millionaire father Andrew Thirkill is the club president of Richie’s Leeds Rhinos, after their shock split. Richie and Stephanie have since welcomed a son of their own since breaking up last year.
Gethin and another Welsh celebrity, Katherine, met on Strictly’s set, where he was a contestant and she gave an appearance. They parted ways on Twitter after announcing their separation in February 2011 and sharing their heartbreak after their romance led to an engagement.
Katherine described herself as a “total mess” and “in pieces” after their split and admitted to being emotionally devastated during her tour. Gethin revealed that he had depression following the breakup in a direct conversation with Tom Bryant on The Mirror’s podcast Outdoors in Mind. He shared a particularly heartfelt expression, “I recalled using the restroom at 5:30 am to go to, All right. Continue reading. You can stop being sad for the next three hours by simply focusing on it. I definitely experienced a bad depressive episode at the time.
