Helen Skelton Announces Break from Morning Live

Helen Skelton has announced her temporary departure from BBC's Morning Live, concluding her appearances for 2024. She expressed her gratitude towards her colleagues, particularly thanking Rav Wilding for their recent collaboration while Gethin Jones is performing in a pantomime. In an Instagram post, Skelton shared reflections on her time on the show and highlighted the importance of teamwork, stating, "To work with ladies and gents who want to do a good job and know you need to get out on time for the kids' carol concert is the ultimate pay day." She also hinted at her holiday plans, mentioning cheese boards and the film Home Alone. Skelton's final episode aired on December 20, with the show taking a break for Christmas until her return in 2025. Gethin Jones made a humorous appearance via video link from his pantomime role, which prompted laughter among the studio audience.
