It started like any ordinary morning—just a pair of TV co-hosts grabbing breakfast.
But for Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones, it quickly turned into something that’s sparking more than just coffee talk.
The two Morning Live presenters were spotted all cozied up on Gethin’s motorbike on Thursday, and it wasn’t exactly the kind of body language that says “just friends.”
Helen wrapped her arms tightly around Gethin as they zoomed off through Manchester, and onlookers couldn’t help but wonder: is there more to this pair than their on-screen banter?
Growing Closer On and Off Screen
Rumors have been swirling for a while now, with sources close to the duo hinting that their working relationship has evolved into something deeper.
Whether it’s their easy chemistry on set or their matching smiles when spotted together outside the studio, it’s clear there’s a unique bond here.
Just a day earlier, the two were seen leaving the BBC Morning Live studios just minutes apart.
Helen looked relaxed and stylish in tiger-print trousers and a tan vest, while Gethin followed suit in a laid-back sporty look, sunglasses and all. Subtle? Maybe not.
The Instagram Praise That Got Everyone Talking
If you ask fans, they’ve been picking up on the vibes for a while.
Earlier this year, after a 24-hour TV challenge for Comic Relief, Gethin couldn’t help but pour his heart out on Instagram.
He called Helen a “superwoman” and raved about her resilience and energy—even joking that he never once wanted to throw her off the rink during the entire day-long stint.
Not exactly your average workplace compliment.
Helen returned the love, too.
She thanked Gethin publicly, calling him “a legend” and saying how lucky she felt to have him “on the rink, the sofa and beyond.”
Their words? Heartfelt. Their fans? Convinced they’re perfect for each other.
A History of Heartbreaks
Both Helen and Gethin have had their share of romantic ups and downs.
Helen split from her husband, rugby player Richie Myler, in 2022 after nine years together and three children.
The breakup came just four months after their youngest child was born, leaving Helen stunned and heartbroken.
She later stepped back from her BBC Radio 5 Live role to focus on her kids.
Gethin’s love life hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing either.
After dating opera singer Katherine Jenkins for four years and even proposing in 2011, the couple called it off.
Since then, he’s been linked to a few familiar names but admits he hasn’t had much luck—especially after a failed attempt on dating app Hinge, where moderators thought he was impersonating himself.
Social Events, Shared Moments, and a Lot of Chemistry
Whether it’s award shows or charity galas, Helen and Gethin have been showing up together—and not just in a professional capacity.
They were seen arm-in-arm at last year’s Burrow Strictly Ball, and again at the TV Choice Awards where Helen had her arm around Gethin in a photo she captioned: “Technically work colleagues, but we know too much about each other.”
They even teamed up to compete in a demanding Hyrox doubles fitness event, and later Helen ran the London Marathon with Gethin cheering her on from Instagram: “You never cease to amaze me,” he wrote.
Fans Are Rooting for Them
It’s not just close friends and insiders noticing their closeness—fans have been vocal too.
Comment sections have exploded with support, with messages like: “You two belong together” and “Such a joy to watch you both—what a team!”
Even those who stayed up all night to watch their Comic Relief challenge agreed: the connection between them felt real, raw, and undeniable.
Keeping It Private—But Not Exactly Hidden
Neither Helen nor Gethin has officially confirmed anything romantic, and their reps are keeping lips sealed.
But when people see the duo looking “tactile” at events, sneaking out of studios minutes apart, or simply enjoying breakfast after a cozy motorbike ride, it’s hard not to wonder.
A source close to the show shared, “They’ve definitely gotten closer. It’s still under wraps, but the bond is undeniable. Whether on the sofa or off-camera, the connection is real.”
So, What’s Next?
Right now, Helen and Gethin seem happy just spending time together—whether that’s training for a fitness challenge or riding through Manchester on a Triumph Bonneville.
As for what comes next, that’s anyone’s guess.
But one thing’s for sure: if love really is brewing between these two, they’ve got a whole audience rooting for them.
