Helen Skelton ‘very lucky’ with Morning Live co-star friendships

In a new interview with Hello, Helen, 41, said she and the Morning Live mainstay presenters, Gethin Jones and Michelle Ackerley, are close off camera.

“I’ve done this job for a long time and I feel very lucky that every now and again you land on a group of people and a crew that really clicks,” she explained.

“Michelle [Ackerley] and Gethin [Jones] and I have all been friends for years and years. Gethin and I crossed over a lot at Blue Peter, so we’ve got a lot of the same reference points,” Helen added.

The mum-of-three revealed that she and Michelle “used to flat share back in London”, stating they have “natural chemistry” because they have known each other since they began their television careers.

“If you have to go to work and you like what you do and you do it with people that are like an extension of your family, then you’re very lucky and I definitely feel like that at Morning Live,” she continued.
