"They're both keen to keep a lid on it to avoid public scrutiny but there's no denying their closeness both on and off screen." Gethin, the Welsh presenter, remains

hopeful about love despite being single since 2023 after previously dating First Dates' Cici Coleman. Helen, aged 40 and a favourite on Strictly Come Dancing, has spoken candidly about

how the show helped her process her marriage breakdown, admitting she was 'blindsided' when Richie moved on so swiftly post-split. Helen and Leeds Rhinos rugby player Myler became

parents to their third child, Elsie, four months prior to calling time on their marriage. Helen took her followers by surprise when she announced the sad news on Instagram. "Very sad to

say that 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 penned. Gethin crossed paths with fellow

Welsh star Katherine on the set of Strictly, where he was competing and she made a guest appearance. Their love story led to a proposal in February 2011, but by the close of that year, they

had gone their separate ways, announcing their split on Twitter and sharing their mutual heartache. Article continues below Following their split, Katherine confessed she was a "total

mess" and "in pieces" while on tour, emotionally shattered by the ordeal. Meanwhile, Gethin Jones opened up about his own struggles with depression post-breakup during a

heartfelt chat on The Mirror's Outdoors in Mind podcast with Tom Bryant. He recounted a particularly tough moment: "I remember doing BBC Radio 5Live and going into the toilet at

5.30am going, 'All right. Come on. "Just focus for the next three hours, and then you can go back to being sad again. I definitely had a bad bout of depression during that

time."
