Helen Skelton & Gethin Jones Spark Talk Again With Cosy Lunch — Weeks After Rumored Romance Had ‘Cooled’
• TV & Showbiz • Reported by Ahem Beauty News Desk
They may have insisted they were “just friends,” but Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones looked every inch the close pair as they enjoyed a cosy lunch date in London this week. The outing comes only weeks after whispers suggested their blossoming romance had cooled, with Helen stepping back following the death of her beloved father.
Lunch Date Raises Eyebrows
The duo, both 41, were photographed smiling and chatting over lunch at a trendy London spot. Casual but stylish, Helen opted for a chic blouse while Gethin kept it low-key in a fitted tee. Their comfortable chemistry reignited speculation that friendship may not be the whole story. Witnesses say the pair laughed easily together, leaning in close as conversation flowed.
The sighting follows weeks of reports that Helen, still grieving her father’s recent passing, had quietly stepped away from the rumored romance. Yet with this lunch, fans are wondering if the spark has returned just as both presenters resume busy TV schedules.
A Difficult Summer for Helen
Helen, a mother-of-three, has been open about the tough months she’s endured following her father’s death. She took time away from the spotlight to support her family before returning to her presenting duties. Gethin, meanwhile, has been a steady presence on Morning Live, where the two often appear together on-screen.
Their joint return to television this week coincides with the lunch sighting, fueling talk that professional collaboration might be blending once again with something more personal.
Friendship or Something More?
Both Helen and Gethin have previously downplayed rumors of romance, stressing their “great friendship.” But this public show of closeness has reignited chatter online. Social media buzzed with fans posting side-by-side shots, asking whether the relationship is “back on” or simply a case of two long-time colleagues leaning on each other through personal challenges.
For now, neither has commented on the fresh round of headlines. Still, their easy smiles suggest that whatever label they choose, the bond between them remains strong.
What’s Next?
With Helen back at work and Gethin firmly in the public eye, their every move is bound to be watched closely. Whether this lunch signals a romantic rekindling or just enduring friendship, one thing is clear — the pair have become one of Britain’s most talked-about duos.
