After hosting her well-liked BBC Radio 5 Live show for more than a year, she was poised to become the voice of the radio every Sunday morning. However, presenter Helen Skelton abruptly announced last summer that she was leaving the BBC show of the same name, even though she had worked her way up to a “golden ticket” position.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Helen cited her decision to resign as being influenced by work-life balance.
