STRICTLY Come Dancing’s Helen Skelton has cleared out the home she once shared with ex Richie Myler.

Cameras saw the TV presenter, 39, clearing out a range of items after “taking stock” of her life.

Among the items being examined were a sign reading ‘GET NAKED’

The 39-year-old TV presenter appeared on Really TV show Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House.

Auctioneer Angus Ashworth was seen sifting through Helen‘s stuff – including a large sign reading “get naked”.

There were also weights and an antique vaulting horse, which was a wedding present to herself.

In the end, Helen banked just shy of a grand after range of lots sold including a racing bike – which went for £85 – and a set of table that made £150.

The programme revels how she wants to turn the home near Leeds into two separate houses — one of which she will live in with her three children.

She said: “This is a great opportunity to get rid of a load of stuff. I think you get to a point in your life where it’s about what the kids need.

“What my kids needs is space for their stuff because life is about them.”

A voiceover on the show explained: “After recently separating from her husband Helen’s taking stock of her life and looking forward to a new beginning.

“She’s turning her home into two separate properties – one she is hoping to sell and the other will remain the family nest for her and her three kids.

“The downsizing of the family home has left Helen with a stash of collectibles she’s ready to part with.”

Helen told HOAR last month that Strictly has been like therapy following her marriage split, made more painful after ex Richie announced his new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill, was pregnant.

She had said: “Strictly is probably quite overwhelming for a lot of people but for me, weirdly, I was actually in the best place to be in it.”
