Helen Skelton is discussing the joys and challenges of parenthood, disclosing that she still shares a bed with her children and that she needs to bribe her son with a £20 note to sleep in his own room.
The 39-year-old Strictly Come Dancing and Countryfile actress, who has three children with her ex-husband Richie Myler, has stated that her children find it difficult to fall asleep on their own, and as a result, they often end up in their mother’s bed.

The presenter, who divorced her husband, a rugby league player, earlier this year, continues to co-parent their three children, Ernie, 7, Louis, 5, and Elsie, 10 months.
“Mine are terrible sleepers, they like to sleep in my bed which isn’t good, but then other people will be like ‘well that isn’t good?’
“Rather than ‘Oh that’s nice because they’ll be 18 soon!’ But it’s survival. I got my eldest to sleep in his own bed the other night and he was negotiating a deal and said he would for £20.”
Helen joked: “I was like – ‘I can’t give you £20 a night!’ No wonder I’ve had to go back to work.”
Helen has valued her time with her children in recent months while continuing to impress the viewers on Strictly Come Dancing.
