She narrowly missed out on winning Strictly Come Dancing last week.
But Helen Skelton still seemed in high spirits as she enjoyed her return to normal life with her three children on Thursday.
The Countryfile presenter, 39, shares Ernie, seven, Louis, five and 11-month-old Elsie with ex Richie Myler, who she split with in April.

She shared an adorable photo of her little ones enjoying some festive fun in the lead up to Christmas.
They posed in front of a brightly decorated Christmas tree, each dressed in their coziest outfits.
It comes after Helen, who has been going through a rough time after splitting with husband of eight years Richie earlier this year, revealed that the atmosphere during the live finale would see her through “any dark day.”
Helen appeared on Lorraine on Monday morning, which was hosted by stand-in Ranvir Singh, and spoke about her experience on the show.

The mother-of-three spoke of her heartbreak on the show, admitting she “just wanted to make my kids proud.”
“Look, I just wanted to make my kids proud. So we didn’t quite take that trophy home, but we made memories that would last a lifetime,” she explained.
The presenter added that winning “would have been the perfect way to say thank you” for the good Strictly did for her emotionally.
“If I could bottle that vibe from Saturday, I’ll get through dark days. It was just the most wonderful feeling. It just shows what happens when you surround yourself with good people,” she told Ranvir.

Helen, Fleur East and Mollie Rainford all lost to Hamza and his partner Jowita Przystal before the final.
And gushing sweetly about her dance partner Gorka Marquez, Helen said she’s “so thankful” for him.
“I am so grateful to that man, he is an asset to that show and an asset to his family. That show pushes all the buttons. It’s so emotional,” she said.
Adding: “He never let me say things I didn’t want to. He never let me pull the thread that would unravel me.”

Many fans took to social media to see Gorka’s stern face during the Strictly final as he and Helen lost – with the latter explaining ‘he wanted to win’.
“If his face had said anything other than I’m disappointed, it would have been a disservice,” she clarified.
The Countryfile presenter has previously revealed that it was “wonderfully liberating to be happy in my own skin” while starring in Strictly following her breakup from Richie in April.
Helen split from the rugby player just weeks after the birth of their third child and the rugby star is now expecting a baby with his new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill.

It was first reported that Richie was seeing 32-year-old Stephanie just days after he split from Helen.
Helen is said to be feeling ‘stunned’ by the breakdown of her marriage, with a source close to the couple telling MailOnline: ‘Helen is absolutely devastated.’
They continued, “Now she’s contemplating a life without him, as he’s moved on with his new partner.”
Stephanie is the daughter of Andrew Thirkill, one of the wealthiest businessmen in Leeds and estimated to be worth £175 million.
In April, Helen announced that she and husband Richie had split in an emotional Instagram post to her followers.
She shared two heartbreak emojis as she shared the emotional news with her fans.
“Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple,” Helen said at the time.
