Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones enjoy cosy lunch as they reignite romance

Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones were pictured heading out to a cosy lunch on a recent rainy day after it was reported they had decided to "cool off" their romance. Their quick outing comes after the presenting duo reunited on screensfor their Morning Live show this month.

Gethin, 47, made sure to give his umbrella to Helen, 42, as they walked into an establishment near their TV studios where Morning Live is filmed in Manchester. He got hit by the rain as she remained safe under the umbrella. The Strictly Come Dancing star looked stunning in brown Adidas track pants and a white top.

Meanwhile, Gethin rocked black work trousers and a grey t-shirt for the outing, which has some questioning whether they're giving their romance another shot.

Just one day before, Helen was spotted carrying two coffees as she reunited with Gethin on screens following his family tragedy.

The duo reunited for their Morning Live show on Monday and were both seen smiling ahead of their screen time.

While they weren't snapped together, both seemed in high spirits ahead of their show as they picked up coffees. Helen, 42, was seen wearing a long brown buttoned dress, while Gethin was casual in black trousers and a pale blue t-shirt with a rucksack.

BBC Breakfast hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent announced the return of Morning Live following its break over the summer, but Jon couldn't resist ribbing hosts Helen and Gethin.

"We have a true sign now that summer is over," he started. "Morning Live is back!" Gethin replied: "It's good to see you."

A few weeks before the show's return, Gethin announced the death of his dad.

Sharing the famous Max Boyce quote, he wrote: 'Wales defeated England. Hymns and Arias with dad last night, before he left us this morning." In his statement, Gethin added: "The most perfect, peaceful end. Welsh hymns playing, and the grandsons on speaker phone saying goodbye."

He went on to explain how his dad was suffering from an illness for a while and Gethin revealed the role his patriarch's humour played in his final days.

He said: "Dad was poorly for a while, he put up a good fight, incredible really. It was so nice to see his dry humour, the importance of faith and his love for classical music shine through at the end.

"Every day I've been at the Heath Hospital in Cardiff, someone would stop me and ask me about dad. He probably taught them at some point. He made a big impact on education in these parts over a long period of time. He was strict and direct, always reasonable. A teacher for 40 years, a headteacher for 28!"

Gethin's family tragedy came as it was reported he and Helen decided to 'cool off' their romance. The two had been close friends for a while but their friendship reportedly developed into something more when they were spotted leaving the BAFTAs back in May.

Although they never confirmed a relationship, they had been spotted hanging out off set and enjoying a spa day at a country club.
