Richie Myler, Helen Skelton‘s estranged ex-husband, has apparently deleted his Instagram page after making his profile private following a “social media rant,” shocking fans.

The rugby player, 32, divorced Helen, 39, after eight years in April and moved on with Stephanie Thirkill, also 32, who is now pregnant with their first child.

And the sportsman has reportedly quit the social media platform for good after going private to weed out those who ‘are on here to share my photos or stories of me and my life maliciously’.

Richie told his Instagram followers in October that he had decided to make his profile private for the time being.

‘If you are on here to share my photos or stories of me and my life maliciously to other people or waste your time sending me abusive messages please just unfollow me.

‘I’m going to start removing people from my account one by one, so if you are a genuine rugby fan and I accidentally remove you I apologise in advance and will accept you back! Thank you Richie.’

Richie’s profile has vanished from the social media platform.

It comes after Helen used the Royal Family’s unofficial motto, “never complain, never explain,” to put the divorce behind her and say she will “just crack on” with raising their three children as a single mother in 2023.
