Gethin Jones has long been a familiar face on British television, but it’s his personal life that’s now taking centre stage. Despite a successful career—from Blue Peter to Morning Live—love has proven more elusive for the 47-year-old presenter.
Once engaged to classical singer Katherine Jenkins after they met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2007, Gethin seemed set for a fairytale ending. The couple announced their engagement in 2011, only to part ways within the year. He later admitted the relationship had deeply changed him, confessing to hopes of settling down in Wales and raising children speaking Welsh.
After the heartbreak, Gethin briefly dated TOWIE’s Lucy Mecklenburgh, who described him as “the nicest guy”, though their schedules clashed. He also had a one-year relationship with model Katja Zwara, known from Olly Murs’ music video, ending in 2018 due to work commitments.
In 2023, he was linked to First Dates star Cici Coleman after a cosy West End outing, sparking dating rumours.
Now, fans are buzzing about his close bond with Morning Live co-host Helen Skelton. Attending the TV BAFTAs together and multiple events as a duo, onlookers are convinced their friendship has evolved into something more intimate. One source described their connection as “undeniable.”
Gethin’s sister once joked that he’s picky, saying: “If their middle toe is longer than the big toe, he goes off them.” Still, Gethin hasn’t given up on love. He’s spoken about his dream of marriage and fatherhood and even shared a deep desire to adopt after being inspired by a friend’s journey.
Whether it’s friendship or romance with Helen Skelton, one thing is clear: Gethin still believes in love—and fans are rooting for his happy ending.
