Gogglebox favourite Helena Worthington has offered a rare peek into her home life with her partner following the arrival of their second child. The Channel 4 personality first appeared on the popular reality programme in 2017 alongside her parents Alison and George. Beyond television, the Manchester-based Helena works as an artist, focusing on sculpture and painting, and is now mum to son Edwin and a newborn daughter.
Weeks ago, Helena announced via Instagram that she had welcomed her second baby, and has recently provided followers with an update on their adjustment to life as a quartet. Taking to Instagram, she posted a charming clip showing her partner Dan cradling their infant whilst performing squats throughout the house, reports the Mirror.

“That’s quite a workout,” he remarked, prompting her amused response: “I don’t think you need to go that low!” She playfully encouraged him: “Feel the burn, come on, I want to see 10 more!” In her caption, she noted: “I love how the cat is on the changing mat just watching,” as followers and friends, including fellow Gogglebox star Izzi Warner, flocked to like the footage.
Helena previously shared the baby news on social media, announcing: “Swapping screen time for snuggles (and plenty of nappy changes!) as we welcome our little one to the world. I’ll be quieter on here for a bit while we find our feet. The new boss is here and has already called all the shots.”
Alongside the hashtags, she added “snuggles” and “blessed” as she cherished her newborn bubble after giving birth. She shared some sweet snaps holding her baby, as well as Edwin with his new little sister, as her post was flooded with support. Izzi had written: “Ahh she’s adorable congratulations to you all.”

One fan also wrote: “Oh my gosh, CUTE! Well done, lots of rest,” as another added: “Aww a little girl congratulations to you Helena and your family xx.” Someone else said: “Congratulations to you all. She’s beautiful.” Helena has previously shared details of her private life, though her partner Dan doesn’t appear on screen with her.
In a previous interview with ilovemanchester.com, she said he was her biggest influencer, commenting: “My partner Dan, he is an amazing artist and has always supported me wholeheartedly.” She’s also spoken about him not featuring in Gogglebox and keeping their relationship private, saying: “FYI – not that this should matter! I am not 18 I am 29 and my baby does have a father, but I wish to keep that side of my life private.”

Helena announced her pregnancy last year, but not long later, shared the devastating news that her grandmother had passed away, leaving her withdrawing from episodes of Gogglebox “I’m not quite sure how to write this post. This week I reached 20k on here, which feels huge and something l’m incredibly grateful for. But it’s also been a really rough week,” she wrote.

Helena continued: “I lost my legendary nana, and because of that I won’t be filming the last episode of Gogglebox this series. My nana played such a huge part in my life and loved me fiercely She was the perfect mix of Dame Judi Dench and the Catherine Tate nana – sharp, hilarious, and she somehow knew the answers to every quiz show question. She once flashed a vicar and stole the neighbour’s dog when they wouldn’t give my mum’s football back – which honestly tells you everything you need to know about her. She was a true Queen.”
Helena went on to say: “Every time we met, we talked about Bob Mortimer on Would I Lie To You? , and she never missed an opportunity to tell absolutely anyone she met that her daughter and granddaughter were on Gogglebox. I’m expecting a baby girl in the next month, and my heart aches knowing my nana won’t get to meet her. But I know she’ll be part of her in so many ways – in stories, in humour, and in that same strength and warmth. Thank you for being here, for the lovely messages, and for letting me share both gratitude and grief at the same time.”
Gogglebox airs Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4.
