Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones were pictured having a cosy lunch just weeks after they ‘cooled off their romance’.
True Gethin, 47, gave Helen, 42, his umbrella as they walked near the TV studio where they were filming Morning Live in Manchester and got soaked as he made sure she was protected from the elements.
Helen had a big smile on her face as she stepped out in her baggy Adidas sneakers, asking the question of whether they were giving the romance another go.
The day before, Gethin returned to work after his father’s death – and Helen was seen carrying two coffees as she no doubt provided him with some support.
Gethin announced that his father sadly passed away almost three weeks ago after a long illness.
At the time, he shared a smiling picture of himself next to his dad in the hospital alongside a heartfelt message about the man who clearly meant so much to him.

Sharing a famous Max Boyce quote, Gethin wrote: “Wales beat England. Anthems and arias with Dad last night before he left us this morning.
“The most beautiful, peaceful ending. The Welsh anthems playing and the grandchildren saying goodbye on speakerphone.”
Gethin revealed that his father had been battling the illness for some time when he emphasized the importance of humor in helping his family.
He said: “Dad had been unwell for a while, he put up a good fight, incredible. It was so nice to see his dry humour, the importance of faith and his love of classical music come through at the end.”
“Every day I’ve been at Heath Hospital in Cardiff, someone stopped me and asked about Dad.
“He probably taught them at some point. He had a significant impact on education in these parts for a long period of time.”
‘He was firm and direct, always sensible. Teacher for 40 years, principal for 28!’
The Strictly star went on to thank the NHS for looking after his father, noting that his sister, who also works for the institution, has been “amazing.”

Helen has been single since her high-profile 2022 split from husband Richie Myler (pictured), the father of her three children.
Previously, Helen and Gethin appeared to have cooled off their reported romance.
She spent the school holidays with her children Ernie, nine, Louisa, eight, and Elsie, four, from her relationship with ex-husband Richie Myler.
And Gethin was recently spotted on celebrity dating app Raya.
Helen and Gethin had previously grown close after spending time with each other outside of work, including a steamy spa break.
The Daily Mail revealed in May how the pair’s “flirty” on-screen chemistry had “blossomed” into a deeper connection, and they were seen as a “couple” at a charity event last year, thanks to their “tactile” behavior towards each other.
And to add further intrigue to their relationship, both hosts’ respective representatives declined to comment on the duo’s relationship after being quizzed on reports that they were spotted leaving the BAFTA TV Awards together.
Helen has been single since her high-profile 2022 split from husband Richie Myler, the father of her three children.
The rugby league player was married to Helen for nine years to the former Strictly star, writing on Instagram that she was very “sad” that he had “left the family home”.
Richie has since moved on to Stephanie Thirkill, daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill, and they have welcomed two children – Olivia and Freddie.
