Helen Skelton is enjoying a beach holiday with her children Ernie, eight, Louis, six, and Elsie, one, but her son didn't let their location impact his outfit choice.

Channelling his mother's sparkly outfits on Strictly Come Dancing, Louis dressed to the nines in a dark grey suit jacket with a diamante pin on the lapel. He teamed it with a red T-shirt and black trousers, styling his dark blonde hair forward and folding his arms to strike a pose for the camera.

Helen joked in the caption: "Asked him to pick out clothes for the beach." We can safely say that it wasn't the outfit we would normally associate with sand and sea!

The Countryfile presenter has been keeping fans updated about her family holiday, posting photos of her three kids playing on Morecambe Beach. Ernie attempted to catch some of the sun's rays, Louis played in the sea, and Elsie chased after a kite in the carefree holiday photos.

Fans rushed to comment on the update, writing: "Wow they're growing so fast!" and: "Beautiful family, lovely photos, so many happy childhood memories. You really are a wonderful mum. I love little Elsie's jumper she is such a cutie your boys are so protective of her, just a beautiful loving family."

Helen confirmed the end of their nine-year marriage in a statement that read:  "Very sad to say Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children."

She went on to tell the Telegraph: "I don't see myself as a victim, no, because I mean, look… There are a lot of people who have been in my situation who haven't been given the opportunities that I've got."
