Stars Strictly A trip that has been compared to “Disneyland” is fitting for her latest project. This summer, the presenter teamed up with a Disney princess to launch a new campaign, Find Your Wonder, which aims to encourage young women and men to see their own strength, courage and bravery.
Helen, who shares eight-year-old Louis, six-year-old Ernie and one-year-old Elsie with her ex-partner Richie Myler, wants to pass on the messages behind the campaign to her own children.

In a conversation with HELLO! about what she hopes to pass on to her children, she said: “Legacy is important to me. We reap what we sew, and that applies to health, the environment, work, sports. I was always taught that you get out of life what you put in, and that’s important. I also think that when you meet people you have the opportunity to make their day better or worse. It’s worth keeping that in mind.”

After an action-packed summer, Helen also reflected on the ‘back to school’ milestone: “Every part of parenthood is emotional, I don’t think anything brings me to my knees or brings me more joy than my children. I’m lucky the children have wonderful teachers, so I’m never too excited about them spending whole days with people who aren’t family, but I know I’m happy for the amazing people they have in their classrooms.”
