Her parents are helping to look after her three children following her split from husband Richie Myler
The 39-year-old’s father – who now runs a bull semen sales business since retiring from farming – and mother are looking after her sons, aged seven and five, and baby daughter while she is in London for rehearsals and filming.
Skelton would not be drawn into discussing her husband in the interview, but confirmed that her children are ‘happy’. She described village life as ‘everyone mucking in together’ and said her previous friendships had been ‘transient’ due to her nomadic life as a rugby wife, which involved a stint living in the south of France when Myler played for Catalans Dragons – a period she said involved ‘drinking cheap wine all the time’ but was a ‘wonderful experience’.
The interview also covered the future of children’s television – with the former Blue Peter presenter saying she fears for its future as young children prefer Youtube to live programmes.
