Helen Skelton, 39, has been captured on camera clearing the marital home of various wedding gifts, eight months on from their traumatic split.The Strictly Come Dancing star, whose so-called "revenge dance" on the show last weekend went down a storm, had her possessions appraised and sold on TV.Richie Myler, 32, is now loved up with a new partner, whom he paid tribute to on Instagram earlier this week in honour of her recent birthday."Happy birthday bub,” he wrote with a red love heart emoji in view of his 19,700 followers. “Thank you for always being you!

I love you lots."This comes after Helen took part in the show Celebrity Yorkshire Auction House where, despite ditching items that had once been of sentimental value, she seemed in high spirits.She is said to have sold 18 lots, including an antique vaulting horse, which had previously been a wedding gift for her and her Leeds Rhinos rugby ace ex-husband.Helen also flogged Art Deco armchairs, and - more unusually - a Victorian dentist's chair, reportedly receiving £965 in total for the huge haul.Her decision to declutter and enjoy a massive clear out comes after she and Richie ended their eight-year marriage.She'd given birth to three children during their relationship, including youngest child Elsie Kate, who'd been just four months old when the pair announced they'd called it quits.Helen also has two sons by Richie: seven-year-old Ernie and five-year-old Louis.She is reportedly relishing the opportunity to start afresh and move on from the issues she's experienced in the past.Meanwhile, her sensational comeback, witnessed by millions of fans every weekend on Strictly, is said to have been a distraction from any woes.Pro dancer and former Strictly champ Ola Jordan.
