Helen Skelton shares the most adorable photo as she welcomes a new addition to the family

Helen Skelton’s children will undoubtedly be happy as a presenter surprised them with a new addition to the family, a rabbit.

The mum-of-three melted hearts when she shared a post on her Instagram Stories marking the new addition with her son Louis, who celebrated his seventh birthday earlier this month and happily hugged his new fluffy friend. Helen captioned the adorable black and white photo with Queen’s caption You are my best friend.

It’s unclear whether the new addition to the family was a birthday present for Louis, but as he marked his special day last week, his doting mother shared some touching words.

The star said: “Went back to school this week, another year older…summer season already. Life is far from boring with you in it, my love. Thank you for being a little legend.” She then joked: “(Yes, he drives a putter for a reason).”

Alongside the video, the youngster could be seen playing golf in the family’s backyard while his younger sister, Elsie, two, chased the ball after his hit.

Helen and Louis have a strong bond, but the youngster had a rather unconventional arrival, with the presenter’s waters breaking while she was alone in France while her then husband, Richie Myler, was playing in England at the time.

Questioned about this by Lorraine Kelly in 2021, Helen said: “I know, God bless him. I can’t tell if he was a little proud or ashamed. He says: ‘I was born in the kitchen?’ and I’m like, ‘Yes,’ and a lot of my friends think it’s so beautiful, a home birth.

“No one wants a bunch of beautiful French firefighters at their feet while they’re delivering a baby, and that’s what I had… They had never done that before and were so excited that I just said, ‘Please come back around my head’ .”

Helen’s family is always her main focus, with the presenter leaving her role at BBC Radio last year to spend more time with her young brood. Confirming her departure, Helen said live on air: “I’ve loved every minute of the past year… thank you to the whole team and thank you to all of you. It’s hard to know what to say without getting emotional become.”
