The Countryfile star confirmed she would be stepping down, admitting she was struggling to juggle her career and single mum life
Helen Skelton held back tears as she announced live on air that she would be leaving BBC Radio 5 Live. The mum-of-three revealed that she is stepping down from her Sunday morning slot after a year on the show in order to spend more time with her kids.
She also referred to her son's weekend sports, adding: "There is an eight-year-old with a sideline who needs me." The pair - who tied the knot in December 2013 - share three children together - sons Ernie and Louis and daughter Elsie. Since their split, the Countryfile presenter has hosted Morning Live, filmed a new show with former Strictly co-star and Channel 5's Dan Walker, and enjoyed trips abroad with her three kids as a single parent.
