Are sparks flying on and off screen?
TV favorites Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones have sent fans into a frenzy after a series of heartfelt gestures and public moments sparked major speculation about their relationship.
What began as a close working friendship has, according to insiders, evolved into something far deeper — and much harder to hide.
“There’s no denying the chemistry,” one source told the Daily Mail. “Their connection on and off camera has only grown stronger.”
A Friendship That’s Turned Heads
Helen, 41, and Gethin, 47, first crossed paths through BBC programming, both having hosted Blue Peter and later Strictly Come Dancing in separate seasons. These days, they co-anchor Morning Live together, bringing warm energy and easy banter to morning TV.
But their connection extends beyond the studio.
Since Helen’s 2022 split from rugby star Richie Myler — with whom she shares three children — and Gethin’s low-key dating life following his 2011 breakup with opera singer Katherine Jenkins, both have kept romance under wraps. Until now.
Clues That Sparked the Romance Rumors
Earlier this year, the two appeared together at the TV BAFTA Awards, where an onlooker claimed,
“It was obvious to everyone there — Helen and Gethin looked every bit the couple.”
And when Gethin recently joked on Morning Live that he’d “just found out” he snores — suggesting someone new had noticed — viewers were quick to connect the dots.
Still, nothing stirred fans more than Helen’s emotional Instagram tribute to Gethin after they completed a grueling 24-hour roller-skating challenge for Comic Relief, raising over £1 million in the process.
Helen’s Public Message to Gethin
In a heartfelt post, Helen shared behind-the-scenes photos and praised their team before directing her words at Gethin:
“My dear @gethincjones… I don’t say it often enough, but I have so much love and respect for you. You’re a legend. Thank you for being by my side — on the rink, the sofa, and beyond.”
She added playfully:
“I can gush — he never reads beyond one paragraph anyway.”
That one message sent fans wild.
The Ring That Launched a Thousand Questions
During the same tribute post, sharp-eyed viewers noticed a sparkling ring on Helen’s wedding finger — and social media lit up.
“Is she engaged?!”
“Could this be the soft-launch of her romance with Gethin?”
The rumors exploded — a symbolic gesture, a heartfelt message, and a stunning ring all rolled into one viral moment.
Fan Reactions Pour In

@jonesemmas: “Both of you are legends. Incredible effort.”

-
@suemcgregor: “Congratulations! What an achievement… and maybe something more?”
Could Love Be Back in Helen’s Life?
Neither Helen nor Gethin has confirmed a romance — but they also haven’t denied it. And after everything Helen has endured in the past few years, fans are thrilled at the idea of joy returning to her life.
Whether this is just a deep friendship or the beginning of something beautiful, one thing is clear: the love, respect, and connection are undeniable.
Stay tuned…
