The Strictly Come Dancing star has recently moved back to Cumbria following her split from rugby league husband Richie Myler.

The mother-of-three is currently living with her parents, who live on a dairy farm just outside of the Lake District National Park.

They are looking after her children; seven-year-old Ernie, five-year-old Louis, and 10-month-old Elsie, while Helen is in London for Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals and shows.

Helen has been busy sharing Strictly updates and more with her social media fans, while her ex-husband Richie has made his Instagram account private.

Richie recently announced that he is expecting a baby with his new girlfriend, Stephanie Thirkill - who is the daughter of Andrew Thirkill, the multi-millionaire President of Leeds Rhinos.

Just days after finding out that her husband of eight years is expecting a new baby, Helen performed live on Strictly Come Dancing.

Following their Paso performance, her dance partner Gorka Marquez - who she attended the Pride of Britain Awards with - made a touching speech.

The Spanish professional said: “I know you have been having a difficult time and I know you’ve been ...you may feel like you’re not beautiful or good enough or anything, but if you don’t believe in yourself, I believe in you. Everybody here believes in you."
