Helen Skelton wowed her fans as she showed off her wakeboarding skills while enjoying time out in the sunshine with her young son.
The 39-year-old mother-of-three was out with her son Ernie amid the ongoing UK heatwave - and proved she is a confident waterspouts enthusiast.
Helen - who split from rugby star husband Richie Myler, 33, last year with whom she shares seven-year-old Ernie as well as six-year-old Louis and one-year-old daughter Elsie - was supporting her eldest child on the water.
And taking to social media, the TV presenter showed she was just as happy to jump in the lake as much as she was to stand on board a boat to support her son.

"It's a privilege to be in people's living rooms on a Saturday night and it's a privilege when they share things and if one person has thought, 'Oh, I'm going to put myself out of my comfort zone,' or 'I'm going to take on something difficult,' that we've done our job."
