Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones’ friendship ‘deepens’

Since splitting from singer Katherine Jenkins in 2011, Gethin has kept his love life under wraps. However, he recently admitted he was back on the dating scene. In 2022, Helen split from husband Richie Myler, with whom she shares three children.

Just like Gethin, she has also kept her relationships hush-hush. However, according to Daily Mail, Helen and Gethin could be more than just good friends.

“Helen and Gethin have an extremely close working relationship and there’s a feeling in recent months their friendship has blossomed into a deeper connection,” a TV insider told the newspaper.

“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.”

Earlier this month, Helen and Gethin attended the TV BAFTA Awards together and left fans questioning if they were a couple.

An eyewitness at the glitzy award show has said it was “very clear that Helen and Gethin were together as a couple at the event”, adding: “They were with close friends of Helen’s and their connection was undeniable.”

ED! has contacted reps for comment.

Gethin Jones previously hinted at new partner

During a discussion about snoring on Morning Live, Gethin may have accidentally spilled a little secret about his personal life.

While on the subject, co-host Gaby Roslin turned to Gethin and asked if the former Hits Radio presenter snored.

In response, Gethin said: “I always thought I didn’t, but apparently, I found out recently, [I might] get myself in trouble here, that I do.”

Following the admission, the camera turned to the rest of the presenters and panel, who were laughing with Gethin and Gaby. While embarrassed, Gethin began blushing and tried to distract everyone.
