Helen Skelton celebrating ‘the highs’ as she reveals family links to newly promoted Carlisle United

Helen Skelton is still celebrating “the highs” after her home team Carlisle United got promoted to League One on Sunday (May 28). The Blues beat Stockport County in the League Two promotion play-off final at Wembley Stadium, and the Countryfile presenter, 39, was at the game with her family.

Posting a reel to Instagram yesterday (May 29), the Strictly Come Dancing star described their trip down to London as “a day to remember”, and said her brother, Carlisle United’s first team coach Gavin Skelton, deserves “every bit of this success”.

Helen wrote: “A day to remember ⚽️ Is there anything better than seeing your family on cloud 9? I think not. Thank you for the memories. Proud nephews. Proud sister. Gav you and yours deserve every bit of this success, you lead by example and we are glad and grateful to be in your orbit 🙌🙌”
