Helen Skelton's mum moves in to help amid 'chaotic' family life after split

ok.co.uk:

Helen Skelton has revealed that her mum has moved in with her to help out with her children as her work increases. The Countryfile presenter announced that she was splitting from her husband Richie Myler of nine years with whom she shares three children Ernie, six, Louis, five and Elsie Kate who is just over six months old.

The 38-year-old opened up to Lorraine Kelly about juggling family life and returning to work following the split. Lorraine, 62, began: “Helen it’s so good to see you, you’ve had a bit of a rough time I know, but the best way to get over stuff is to just get out there again isn’t it, out there working.” The former Blue Peter presenter began: “I think anybody in my position would say the same, I’ve got three small children and a very large dog as you can hear.” She dashed off-screen to silence her barking family dog, Spider-Man as Lorraine commented: “Kids and dogs, your life is like that and you’re used to it, you’re used to the chaos!” Helen sighed as she revealed that her Mum had come to stay for the week to help out with her young family and work her “Granny magic” so she could focus on work. “It has been uncharacteristically calm around here this morning,” Helen explained, “because I’m working this week my Mum has come to stay for the week as she doesn’t live near.” “She got the kids off to school, as Monday morning when you’ve got kids to get to school is just - it’s the same drill everyday but somehow it’s always chaos! “Get the socks on, get their shoes on, where’s their school bags so Mum’s in control but she forgot to put her Granny magic on the dog there, sorry!” Lorraine was very understanding and empathised that she’s glad that Helen has her Mum on hand to help her out.
