Helen Skelton had a busy period over the Easter bank holidays, entertaining her children as well as spending time with her family up in Cumbria, where they marked a special event.

Over the weekend, the Countryfile presenter's son Louis celebrated his sixth birthday, and the doting mum shared a sweet insight into the celebrations. As you can see in the clip below, Helen pulled out all the stops for her young man's special day as he spent it with friends and family, and there was even an adorable moment between the youngster and his sister as they showcased their strong bond.

Captioning her sweet video, the mum-of-three said: "Long weekend of Birthday and Easter celebrations. This is 6. Proud and grateful Mum. Lou dog you rock mine and so many worlds. Shout out to super gran for the cake and so so much more."

The post sparked a huge response amongst her fanbase, including with her Strictly partner Gorka Marquez, who is expecting his second child with fiancée Gemma Atkinson, as he commented: "Happy birthday to my little friend!!!"

A second fan added: "Wow that's gone fast! Happy birthday Louis," and a third posted: "Love this!! Happy birthday to your little one, glad you’ve all had so much fun celebrating."

A fourth had high praise for Helen as they penned: "Helen you are an inspiration to all single mums out there, you are doing an amazing job, whilst working and looking after your lovely family. I know what it's like as I was a single parent of 3, all grown up now, but the benefits and rewards are worth every bit of it. I wish you all the best for your future happiness, you deserve it."
