Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones were spotted enjoying a cosy lunch on a recent rainy day, following reports that they had decided to “cool off” their relationship. The pair were seen together shortly after reuniting on screen for their Morning Live show earlier this month.

Gethin, 47, was the perfect gentleman, offering his umbrella to Helen, 42, as they made their way into a venue close to their TV studios in Manchester where Morning Live is filmed. Despite getting caught in the rain himself, he ensured Helen stayed dry under the umbrella.

The Strictly Come Dancing star looked stylish in brown Adidas track pants and a white top.

Gethin, meanwhile, opted for black work trousers and a grey T-shirt for the outing, sparking speculation about whether they might be rekindling their romance.

Just a day prior, Helen was seen carrying two coffees as she reunited with Gethin on screen following a family tragedy, reports The Mirror.

The duo returned to their Morning Live show on Monday, both appearing cheerful ahead of their on-screen appearance.

Although not photographed together, both seemed upbeat as they picked up their morning coffees.

Helen, 42, was seen in a long brown buttoned dress, while Gethin kept it casual in black trousers and a pale blue t-shirt, complete with a rucksack.

BBC Breakfast hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent announced the return of Morning Live following its summer break, but Jon couldn’t resist teasing hosts Helen and Gethin.

“We have a true sign now that summer is over,” he began. “Morning Live is back!” Gethin responded: “It’s good to see you.”

A few weeks prior to the show’s comeback, Gethin shared the sad news of his father’s passing.

Quoting the renowned Max Boyce, he penned: ‘Wales defeated England. Hymns and Arias with dad last night, before he left us this morning.”

In his statement, Gethin added: “The most perfect, peaceful end. Welsh hymns playing, and the grandsons on speaker phone saying goodbye.”

“He proceeded to detail his father’s illness and the significant role his humour played in his final days.

He expressed: “Dad was poorly for a while, he put up a good fight, incredible really. It was so nice to see his dry humour, the importance of faith and his love for classical music shine through at the end.”

Gethin’s personal loss coincided with reports that he and Helen had decided to ‘cool off’ their relationship.

The pair had been close friends for some time but their friendship reportedly blossomed into something more when they were seen leaving the BAFTAs back in May.

Whilst they never officially confirmed being in a relationship, they were seen spending time together off set and enjoying a spa day at a country club.
