Helen Skelton Denies Romance With Co-Host Gethin Jones

Helen Skelton has reiterated that her relationship with Morning Live co-host Gethin Jones is strictly platonic, describing them as "just best friends."

Speculation about a romance between the two presenters has circulated since they were photographed together outside the BBC studio last year. These rumors intensified following their appearances on the red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards and a Royal Television Society event.

Skelton confirmed in a recent interview that there is no truth to the dating reports. She shared that the widespread gossip has even fooled people close to her, with one friend mistakenly congratulating her on an engagement.

This is not the first time Skelton has dismissed such claims. She previously stated they are merely work friends and clarified that photos of them together were taken during work events. Jones has also spoken about their supportive dynamic, highlighting their mutual encouragement on and off-camera.

Skelton was previously married to Richie Myler for nine years before their separation was announced in 2022. The couple shares three children, and she described the end of her marriage as a shock in her memoir. Following the separation, she joined Strictly Come Dancing, finding joy and fun on the show.
