Helen Skelton talks about her struggle to deal with ‘down days’ with a positive attitude.
Talking with Okay fine! magazine The Strictly Come Dancing star, 29, opened up about her life-changing journey in both her personal and professional life.
“I’ve always seen my mind as a muscle—if you take care of it, it will take care of you,” she says. “People ask me if my glass is half full or half empty, and I say, ‘I have a glass, don’t I?'”
The star added: “Life is a blessing. Sometimes my friends are like, ‘You’ve got to have a down day,’ and of course, I do, but I was always one of those kids who didn’t believe that. Raised to believe that someone else is bad. “Get away from yourself, so just go with it.”
Last month, Helen appeared on Lorraine to give advice to fellow mums on how to manage work-life balance and avoid feeling guilty when you spend some time away from your kids.
Since splitting from estranged husband Richie earlier this year, the TV star has been raising her three young children on her own, apart from appearing on one of the country’s biggest shows.
Meanwhile, rugby player Richie, 32, is expecting his first child with new girlfriend Stephanie Thurkle, daughter of the millionaire chairman of Leeds Rhinos.
