Helen Skelton is a proud mum of her three children, and on Saturday the presenter joined them as Louis played in a football match.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, she showed off the closeness that son Louis, six, and Elsie, one, have as Elsie joined her brother on the sidelines. Young Louis had affectionately grabbed his sister for a hug and while his was the face of glee, young Elsie looked a little bit pertubed by the encounter. Helen joked about this in the caption, penning: "She's meant to be supporting him. Big brother's biggest fan."

Elsie looked so sweet in the snap, as she wore a little yellow overcoat with striped tights, while Louis was all dressed up in his team's colours.

Helen's family has a close-knit bond and as Louis celebrated his sixth birthday earlier in the month, the presenter was on hand to capture plenty of sweet moments.

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 with a cute hug.

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."

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."
