Helen Skelton reveals 'good relationships' and 'tough times'
Helen – who celebrates her 42nd birthday on 19 July – reminds herself to be grateful for this current chapter. The mother of three from Carlisle has been a mainstay on our screens for some time, owing to her love of the outdoors and tips for parents. She said to Hello! "The older you get, the more you realise every year is a total privilege," she says. "I've lost people young that should still be here, so, of course, I'd love the metabolism that I had in my twenties or a few less lines around my face, but at the minute, it all still works, so I don't take any of it for granted." Ahead of entering her 42nd year, Helen reflects on her greatest personal learning. "You've just got to sit in the moment that you're in," she said. "That's the good thing about being a countryside person and being a sports person. It's the ultimate lesson in that nothing stays the same. "When you're in a good time, just really lean into it and make the most of it – if your relationship is good or your kids are good, just rinse every second of it but equally, the bad times don't last either. Tough times don't stay tough forever. Recommended reading: "The only thing that you can be sure of is that the sun is going to rise and the sun is going to set. Accepting that everything changes is really quite liberating. "I've got a series with my good friend Dan Walker, who I adore, and we walk about Yorkshire, we belly laugh. "I've just finished filming a series with my friend JB Gill and my other friend Jules Hudson, so that's a bit like Blue Peter for adults. I do all kinds of mad things."

Rio Tinto seeks innovative collaborators at London Tech Week
LONDON, June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rio Tinto is taking its innovation strategy directly to entrepreneurs, researchers and innovators at London Tech Week as it works to accelerate the breakthroughs needed to sustainably deliver the materials the world needs. The only mining company at London Tech Week, Rio Tinto will lead discussions on how to meet the soaring global demand for critical minerals, deliver materials at scale more sustainably, and harness innovation to deliver the technologies of tomorrow, from AI to electrification to renewables. Rio Tinto Chief Innovation Officer Dan Walker said: "Innovation is in our DNA. For over 150 years, Rio Tinto has operated at the intersection of mining and technology, and there has never been a time when innovation is needed more. "As the world faces increasingly complex challenges, from climate change and urbanisation to the energy transition and electrification, meeting the world's needs requires more materials, delivered faster, more sustainably, and with a lighter footprint at every step. "These are deeply complex issues that no organisation can solve alone. We want to find the very best innovators and entrepreneurs to join our global network of startups, universities, tech leaders and governments to help turn bold ideas into real-world solutions." Rio Tinto's expanding innovation ecosystem includes its Accelerator Program, run in partnership with early-stage investor Founders Factory, and its Ventures Fund, which support high-potential startups mining and sustainability. Last year, Rio Tinto also invested $150 million to launch the Rio Tinto Centre for Future Materials, in collaboration with five world-leading universities, to advance transformational research to accelerate progress towards net zero. Led by Imperial College London, the academic partners include The University of British Columbia, Vancouver; The University of California, Berkeley; The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg; and The Australian National University, Canberra.

Myleene Klass puts on a leggy display in skimpy leopard-print shorts as she arrives at Smooth Radio
Myleene Klass set pulses racing as she arrived at Smooth Radio Studios in London on Friday. The TV personality, 47, looked incredible in a pair of skimpy leopard-print shorts that showcased her toned legs. She wore sheer black tights and paired the shorts with a black vest top and a smart blazer. Posing up a storm for the cameras, Myleene further accessorised her look with a layer of gold necklaces, a black baseball cap, and a pair of trendy oversized shades. To complete her look, she sported a pair of black ankle boots and toted her essentials in a black Chanel handbag as she made her way into the studio. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Earlier this month, Myleene led the stars celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day as she hosted a tribute concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Joined in her hosting duties by Katherine Jenkins and Dan Walker, she pulled out all the stops on the night in an eye-catching red gown. The singer certainly brought the glamour as she displayed her toned frame in the thigh-high split dress, which was adorned with a huge bow detailing. The event, sponsored by the Daily Mail, featured a show-stopping performance from mezzo-soprano Katherine and dancing from Strictly Come Dancing stars. The show also included first-hand recollections from military veterans and those who lived through the conflict. Former pop star Myleene, whose father served in the Merchant Navy, said it was 'both humbling and an honour' to be involved. She said: 'With it (VE Day) being 80 years now, and as our serving personnel from that time reach an age many never thought they'd see, it's essential we keep their sacrifices and memory alive.' Her co-host, former BBC Breakfast star Dan, told the Mail he considered it 'a real privilege' to be 'standing on that stage introducing some amazing people'. 'Those values of freedom and democracy matter today.' Marking the anniversary, King Charles also used a keynote speech to call for greater efforts towards global peace. With conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East and across the African continent, His Majesty suggested it was time to remind ourselves of the words of our great wartime leader, Sir Winston Churchill, who said: 'Meeting jaw to jaw is better than war.' 'In so doing, we should also rededicate ourselves not only to the cause of freedom but to renewing global commitments to restoring a just peace where there is war, to diplomacy, and to the prevention of conflict,' he said. 'For as my grandfather [King George VI, who was monarch during the Second World War] put it: "We shall have failed, and the blood of our dearest will have flowed in vain, if the victory which they died to win does not lead to a lasting peace, founded on justice and established in good will." 'Just as those exceptional men and women fulfilled their duty to each other, to humankind, and to God, bound by an unshakeable commitment to nation and service, in turn, it falls to us to protect and continue their precious legacy – so that one day hence generations yet unborn may say of us: "they too bequeathed a better world".'
