Helen Skelton says she's 'ruining her kids' lives' in candid post about motherhood

Helen Skelton shared a glimpse at the realities of being a mother and joked she's "ruining her kids' lives".

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 39, recently celebrated Mother's Day with her children - Ernie, Louis, and Elsie Kate - as well as her mum, Janet.

In the celebratory black-and-white photo shared on Instagram, the family smiled for the camera during their outing at a theatre.

"Happy Mothers Day. No words needed," she captioned the post.

Not long after, the Countryfile star took to her Instagram Stories to show the difficult side of parenting.

"Reality....... When you're 'ruining their life' because of the way you tie a trainer lace. All part of the adventure we get to call parenting," the star wrote.

On International Women's Day, Helen took to her social media to pay tribute to her daughter Elsie.

She shared a photo of her 14-month-old toddler and her brother Louis, five, surrounded by play apparatus at a leisure centre.

Helen captioned the snap: "On International Women's Day seems only right to acknowledge the one-year-old (14 months) who is so blinking brave she joins the big kids at the circus...oh little lady can't wait to see you take on the world.

"Here's to the daughters we are blessed with and the big brothers who stand by them #womensday."

She shares her children with ex-partner Richie Myler - who is expecting a baby with his new girlfriend.

The former couple separated shortly after Elsie was born before the rugby player announced he was in a relationship with Stephanie Thirkill.

Richie recently shared a photo of his girlfriend - who is the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill.

The photo, which he posted on Instagram - showcased Stephanie's baby bump as the couple are expecting their first child together.

Helen announced she had separated from Richie last year in a statement shared online.

"Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple," she wrote.

"He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co parent our small children."
