Helen was devastated earlier this year when husband Richie Myler, 32, ended their eight-year marriage and struck up a relationship with new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill, 32.

Stephanie is the daughter of Andrew Thirkill, who is one of Leeds’ wealthiest businessmen and is worth around £175million.
Helen is said to have felt ‘bewildered’ by the breakdown of her marriage, with a source close to the couple telling MailOnline: ‘Helen is absolutely devastated’.
The former couple are parents to two young sons, Ernie, six, Louis, five, and daughter Elsie Kate, seven months.
