Helen Skelton is leaving her marital home following her split from Richie Myler.
The former Blue Peter presenter, 40, split from England rugby star Richie in 2022 after eight years of marriage and their divorce was finalised in January.
Now, Helen – who has Ernie, eight, Louis, five and 16-month-old Elsie with her ex-husband – has posted an emotional video to Instagram where she revealed she has sold their Yorkshire property.
In a video that featured a fox in the garden, she said: ‘Hello, you. I know it doesn’t feel that long ago I can remember the sound of foxes mating in those trees. Now we’ve got a little friend. Bye then! Saying bye to the house.’
She wrote in the caption of the post: ‘One last goodbye old friend.’

The sprawling property is made up of two interconnecting homes which comprise eight bedrooms, six bathrooms, four reception rooms, an annex and an outdoor heated pool.
The former couple spent a combined £1.1million purchasing the two adjoining properties set in an exclusive gated community.
The news comes shortly after the former Strictly Come Dancing star insisted that parents should never be shamed into being perfect or acting a certain way, claiming it’s simply a waste of energy.
She told OK! magazine: ‘I think that’s a term we should just never say out loud again.
‘You could use that term about everything in your life.’
Helen also revealed how she’s doing since her split from her rugby player ex Richie, 33, insisting she and her children are ‘doing great’ and ‘there’s plenty to be positive about’.
Since their split, it emerged Richie was ‘set to be a dad again’ and that he is weeks away from welcoming his second child with girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill, 33, who is currently seven-months pregnant.
