Morning Live star Helen Skelton has took to Instagram with a joyful post to pay tribute to her beloved co-star while confirming to fans she'd be taking a brief break.
The TV star, who is mum to three adorable children Louis, Ernie and Elsie, has been so busy with filming commitments that she's vowed to "switch off" her phone as she returns to her family life.
It's clearly been a hectic period for the former Strictly star, with many projects in the pipeline, including her newest on-screen adventure alongside former BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker.
The pair have been dazzling their loyal legion of fans with their show Yorkshire Great and Small with Dan and Helen - which is still available to stream on My5.
Much to the delight of fans Helen had good news to also share, announcing that her show with Dan had been greenlit for a another series and would be returning the channel in September.
Announcing the joyful information, she took to Instagram with an slew of happy snaps alongside the Channel 5 newsreader, while paying tribute to Dan, the crew and confirmed filming had now finished.
Helen told her followers: "That's a WRAP… Snatched a load of afternoons to wander around Yorkshire with this legend. Met some epic people. Ate some sensational food. Celebrated some stunning landscapes that hopefully give you some ideas for adventures. Laughed A LOT."
The Morning Live host confirmed: "Series starts @channel5_tv in September," and offered up some kind words: "Thanks to the hardest working man in the game for always making me belly laugh @mrdanwalker at the most ridiculous things.
"Thanks to a crew who have become family over the last few years and for humouring our self proclaimed glorious nonsense."
She signed off the post, adding: "Phone and shoes off for the foreseeable," alerting her fans that she would be taking a well deserved break for the time being.
Helen's co-star, Dan was quick to respond to her post, pointing out a major detail before any misconceptions were formed. In the abundance of pictures shared, one image saw the pair cosied up outside what appeared to be some kind of castle or church.
Dispelling rumours before they even began to swirl, Dan replied: "Just for clarity… the last photo is not a wedding snap. Thank you my friend for so many fun afternoons. You are a wonderful human to be around."
Fans appeared to be too elated over the happy news that their show would be returning to screens and appeared to not even notice the last snap of the pack.
Racing to the post, masses joined in with celebration: One person penned: "Dynamic duo are back."
Another online user beamed: "Love this programme look forward to it," as a third stated: "Fantastic can't wait to view it," while a fourth wrote: "You two are a good partnership, always a pleasure to watch."
