Gethin Jones made a surprise declaration: “I love her” — but it wasn’t Helen Skelton, it was another woman. So what about his relationship with Helen?

BBC star Gethin Jones has delighted fans by sharing a cheerful behind-the-scenes selfie with fellow Morning Live presenter Sara Cox — but whispers of a more intimate connection with another co-host are still stirring curiosity.

On Thursday morning, Gethin, 47, and Sara, 50, hosted the show together, chatting about an exciting autoimmune vaccine, enjoying a tasty shakshuka demo, and answering pet-related questions. But it was Gethin’s Instagram Story that stole attention.

He posted a bright photo of the duo, writing humorously: “Not sure who she’s waving at… Ps. I flippin love her,” tagging both Sara and the BBC Morning Live account.

Sara also shared her own clip of Gethin showcasing his “concentration face” before going live, reinforcing their warm chemistry on screen.

Yet, it’s Gethin’s dynamic with another co-star — Helen Skelton — that has fans speculating. Sources close to the Morning Live team say the two have formed a bond that’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

“They’ve always worked well together,” an insider explained, “but recently, it’s felt like something more is going on behind the scenes. They’re keeping things quiet, but their connection is obvious.”

The speculation grew after Helen and Gethin attended the recent TV BAFTAs side by side — a glamorous appearance that sparked questions about whether they’re more than just colleagues.
