STRICTLY Come Dancing star Helen Skelton has revealed her incredible Halloween makeover of her family home.

The Countryfile presenter moved back in with her parents earlier this year after splitting from her husband Richie Myler.

Helen, 39, took to Instagram to show off the make-over outside the stunning countryside home ready for Halloween next week.

The mother-of-three revealed the pumpkin display, as well as a series of witches hats that had been hung from the ceiling.

Helen explained that her mum had also hung up sweet miniature pumpkin lights in the porch to finish their “autumn door”.

“Standard Skelton autumn door,” she captioned the post, adding alongside a red love heart emoji: “Love my Mum.”

The TV presenter also headed to the garden to show off a huge wheelbarrow of apples she and her family had collected.

It comes after Strictly star Helen confirmed she moved out of the home she shared with her ex and back in with her parents in Cumbria.

She and her three children – Ernie, 7, Louis, 5, and nine-month-old Elsie – are now living back on her family farm near the Lake District.

She continues to co-parent the children with her ex-husband Richie, who is now expecting a new baby with girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill. 

Speaking to The Telegraph, the star confirmed she was back living with her parents – who look after the kids while she is in Strictly training with Gorka Marquez – in Kirkby Thore.

Helen said she and her family were “really happy, and that’s all that really matters”, adding she has no intention of finding someone new anytime soon as she appreciates her life as it stands. 

“I think if you’ve learnt anything about me in this conversation, it’s that not only is my glass half full, but I’ve currently got a glass.

“I’ve got loads to be thankful for. I’m not going to worry about the one thing I haven’t got.” 

Meanwhile, Helen revealed how she steered clear of husband Richie for a year before they split in April.

Last year the former couple were busy renovating a house in Yorkshire near their family home, and were just too busy to spend quality time together.

According to The Mirror, Helen said: “No… We’re not in the house together – we are staying out of each other’s way.

“We say this is the dream as we have breakfast, lunch and dinner together but then look after the kids in shifts.

“You appreciate the other in this situation. I don’t think he’ll ever say again, ‘What do you do with the kids all day?’ Sometimes I would get in from work and he’d be that husband that would look at the kitchen and say, ‘How is this still a mess when she’s been off all day?’

“Now he’s done it he’s like, ‘How does she stay sane?'”
