Helen Skelton former husband, has unfollowed her on Instagram.

It comes while she is alone in the family home with their three young children after he began a new connection with admirer Stephanie Thirkhill.

After becoming suspicious about rugby league player Richie’s behaviour, Helen engaged a private investigator.

Last month, she disclosed on social media that the Leeds Rhinos star, 31, had broken up with her after nine years of marriage.

It was recently revealed that he had established a new relationship with Stephanie Thirkill, 32, just weeks after the marriage ended.

Helen, on the other hand, had suspected cheating and hired a private investigator to help her find out the truth.

Stephanie’s estranged husband Richard Sugden, who resides in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, has subsequently called her to share notes on the relationship’s timeline.

We can also tell that Richie met Stephanie last autumn at a rugby supper, when Helen was six months pregnant and had to leave early.

Stephanie, the daughter of Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill, who is worth £175 million, had asked for a photo with the pair earlier in the evening, and they consented.

Richie’s new partner claims they only started dating after he divorced Helen, with whom he has three children aged six, five, and four months.

Helen made her first public appearance since the couple’s divorce last week.

The TV celebrity wore a white dress and massive gold jewellery to the Sports Industry Awards in London on Thursday night.

Helen, 38, of Countryfile, styled her blonde hair in a dramatic side parting with highlights to lend depth to her look.

As she posed for photos on the red carpet, she sipped from a glass of champagne and grinned.

Richie and his new girlfriend had a romantic stroll at a beauty spot earlier this week.

For the first time since he walked out on Helen, he was snapped with Stephanie.
