Gethin Jones enjoyed a sky trip with stunning Sky Sports presenter Pien Meulensteen for his birthday as he took to Instagram on Sunday to share Instagram snaps.
The BBC Morning Live presenter, 48, linked arms with the Dutch-born journalist, 29, as they spent the day celebrating with his friends.
Pien also works for ITV and the Premiere League as well as being part of DAZN’s Women’s Champions League coverage.
Gethin captioned the snaps: ‘A quality few days in Morzine with a top class group ‘the padel princesses’.
‘First time I went to the mountains I raced half pipe and tried a ski jump, this was around 20 years ago! I’ve been skiing a few times since then but decided to get my first lesson this time, and guess what, it really helped.
‘Waiting for the queen of socials @pienmeulensteen to send some reels. Until then, he’s my offering!’

Daily Mail has contacted Gethin and Pien’s representatives for comment.
It comes after Helen Skelton finally addressed romance rumours with her BBC Morning Live co-host Gethin in a candid interview.
The Countryfile presenter, 42, grabbed headlines in the recent months as rumours swirled about their budding romance.
The pair fuelled the chatter after it was reported they had enjoyed dates in a luxury spa last year.
Helen, who split from her ex-husband and rugby player Richie Myler in 2022, has finally given an update on her relationship with Gethin.
When asked if the pair have been enjoying more romantic dates, she simply told The Mirror: ‘No. Well, he’s in Manchester working away, so yeah, no, all good.’
Helen stressed the pair are nothing more than ‘work friends’ and always have been, adding: ‘We just work together, we are not together. No, no, no. We are just work friends.
They printed pictures of us at work and that we’re together because we are at work together.’
When Helen and Gethin appeared on the red carpet together for ITV‘s Pride of Britain event in October, and a month later at a glitzy Royal Television Society bash in Manchester, it sent even their co-stars into meltdown.

Bubbly Helen had been left heartbroken when her husband, retired rugby player Richie, walked out on her just four months after she gave birth to their youngest child Elsie back in 2021.
Their commonalities are instantly obvious – both former presenters of Blue Peter, they’ve both taken part in Strictly, and have that clean-cut attractiveness of all former children’s TV presenters.
When they were seen in June at a spa close to Gethin’s home in Cheshire – some 110 miles from where Helen lives in Cumbria – together and with a suitcase, the rumour mill kept on churning.
Neither did anything to stop the speculation. No denials were issued, either publicly from them, or privately from their representatives, despite several approaches from this newspaper, until now.
When asked about their budding romance, Helen told Prima Magazine in December that the pair are so close they often ‘forget’ they’re on the air and are ‘such good mates’ it can become ‘tricky’ when they’re filming the BBC One show, alongside Michelle Ackerley.
‘I’ve been friends with Michelle and Gethin for 25 years. Geth was on Blue Peter before me, so we’ve always crossed paths, and Michelle and I were flatmates when we lived in London,’ she said.
‘We’re all in the same frame of mind. The tricky bit is, we’re such good mates that sometimes we forget we’re on air. I see my work friends as much as I do my real friends.’
Helen and Gethin have been anchoring Morning Live full-time since its relaunch in January 2024, which came some three years after the programme was originally set up by BBC bosses to rival This Morning.
