TV presenter and former Strictly contestant Helen Skelton has expressed her gratitude in a new post shared to mark a slew of milestones.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, the former Blue Peter star shared a poignant message which included references to her upcoming birthday, as well as the end of the school year.
"So much happening at this time of year…. Milestones coming thick and fast," Helen penned, before adding: "Hurtling towards the end of another school year, grateful for my squad."

One wrote: "Great photos and great memories made", while a second chimed in: "The best summer fun. Making new memories", and a third sweetly commented: "Gorgeous family", followed by a red heart emoji.
The Morning Live presenter is gearing up for her 42nd birthday which falls on 19 July. Although we don't know how Helen plans to celebrate, we imagine it will be a low-key family affair.
Helen's family life
Helen is a doting mother to Ernie, Louis and Elsie whom she shares with her ex-husband, Richie Myler. The former couple tied the knot in 2013, but later separated in 2022.

"I was in shock," she penned. "I know that following break-ups, people often say they didn't see it coming and it sounds like a cliché, but that was me."
Helen's bond with Gethin Jones
The broadcast star has since grown close to her Morning Live star, Gethin Jones, with reports even speculating that a possible romance might be on the cards.

Following their roller disco endurance challenge for Comic Relief in March, Gethin branded Helen a "superwoman," while Helen described Gethin as "some man", adding: "I don't publicly say often enough how much love and respect I have for you my friend because I assume it is well known, but for the record you're a legend and I am beyond grateful to have you by my side on the rink, the sofa and beyond."
