The Morning Live co-stars have been at the center of romance speculation for MONTHS — but now Helen Skelton is finally setting the record straight, and it’s not what fans were hoping to hear!
Despite the undeniable chemistry between them on-screen and their cozy appearance at the Pride of Britain Awards, Helen has squashed all rumors of a romance with Gethin Jones. In an exclusive interview, she poured cold water on the idea, saying, “We’re just friends. We work together — that’s it!”
So, what’s really going on behind the scenes? Here’s the truth about their close relationship… and why it’s purely professional!
The Romance That Never Was
Last year, fans couldn’t stop buzzing after Helen and Gethin were seen looking ultra-friendly at the Pride of Britain Awards, sparking headlines that suggested the duo might be more than just colleagues. But despite the gossip, Helen was quick to shut it down. “No, no, no. We are just work friends,” she firmly stated when asked about their supposed romantic dates.
Helen, who famously split from her husband Richie Myler in 2022, made it clear that while they share undeniable chemistry on-screen, their bond is strictly platonic. And Gethin? He’s still flying solo, confirming during a recent Morning Live appearance that he’s single.
Gethin and Helen’s ‘Best Friend’ Vibe
But let’s not forget — there’s no bad blood between them. In fact, Gethin himself previously shared how close the pair are. “We’re best friends. We’re very honest with one another,” he confessed, revealing how their genuine friendship was a key part of their 24-hour roller-skating challenge for Comic Relief. “I was worried it might ruin our friendship, but it only brought us closer.”
Their long-standing friendship goes WAY back. Both have been in the TV industry for years, and they’ve shared plenty of Blue Peter memories that make them feel like family. “It’s a rare thing to find such a perfect work family,” Helen said, expressing how much she appreciates their tight-knit bond.
No Love Here, But Plenty of Respect!
While romance may not be in the cards, Helen and Gethin’s friendship continues to thrive. In fact, Helen couldn’t be more grateful to be surrounded by colleagues she can call family. “I feel incredibly lucky. I’ve done this job for a long time, and I truly feel like I’ve landed with the right people.”
So, for those hoping for a little Morning Live romance, it looks like it’s all about friendship — and that’s something fans will just have to accept!
