Helen Skelton reunited with her Morning Live co-star Gethin Jones on Monday as he returned to work for the first time since the death of his father.
While the co-stars were not pictured at the same time, Helen was seen smiling as she picked up two coffees, some weeks after it was reported the pair decided to ‘cool off their romance.’
Gethin announced his father had sadly died almost three weeks ago – after suffering from a long illness.
He shared a picture of himself smiling alongside his dad in hospital alongside a heartfelt post about the man who clearly meant so much to him.
Sharing the famous the Max Boyce quote, Gethin wrote: ‘Wales defeated England. Hymns and Arias with dad last night, before he left us this morning.

TV presenter Gethin had announced the passing of his father three days earlier as he paid a heartfelt tribute to him alongside this sweet photo
‘The most perfect, peaceful end. Welsh hymns playing, and the grandsons on speaker phone saying goodbye.’
Gethin revealed his father had battled illness for period of time as he highlighted the importance of humour in helping his family.
He said: ‘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.’
‘Every day I’ve been at the Heath Hospital in Cardiff, someone would stop me and ask me about dad.
‘He probably taught them at some point. He made a big impact on education in these parts over a long period of time.
‘He was strict and direct, always reasonable. A teacher for 40 years, a headteacher for 28!’
The Strictly star went on to thank the NHS for looking after his father, noting that his sister, who also works for the institution, has been ‘amazing’.

Helen and Gethin appeared to have cooled off their reported romance.
She spent the school holidays with her children, Ernie, nine, Louis, eight, and Elsie, four, from her relationship with ex-husband, Richie Myler.
And Gethin was recently spotted on celebrity dating app Raya.
Helen and Gethin had previously grown close after spending time with each other outside work, including a steamy spa break.
Daily Mail revealed in May how the pair’s ‘flirty’ on screen chemistry had ‘blossomed’ into a deeper connection and they were seen acting like a ‘couple’ at charity event last year courtesy of their ‘tactile’ behaviour towards each other.
And to add extra intrigue to their relationship, the hosts’ respective reps both refused to comment on the duo’s relationship after being quizzed amid reports they were spotted leaving the BAFTA TV awards together.
Helen has been single since her high profile 2022 break up from husband Richie Myler, the father of her three children.
The rugby league player was married to Helen for nine years with the former Strictly star writing on Instagram that she was very ‘sad’ he had ‘left the family home’.
Richie has since moved on with Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill, and they have welcomed two children, Olivia and Freddie.
