Helen Skelton’s TV company ‘halves in value’ and property firm with ex Richie Myler threatened with closure

Helen Skelton’s television company has halved in value and her property company has been threatened with closure.

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 39, set up Skelton Productions Limited in 2014 to manage income from her television work. Its equity has decreased from £348,305 to £168,960 in the 12 months from October 2020 to October 2021, according to Companies House documents.

Despite this, the business still has assets of nearly £434,000 but it owes creditors £265,81, therefore reducing its overall value.

Documents show that in 2021, Helen paid £37,350 in Corporation Tax, which suggests her income was around five times that sum.

In the previous 12-month period, the Countryfile presenter paid the tax office £94,039, meaning she earned more than £470,000.

Skelton Productions Limited is owned entirely by Helen, however she also part owns a property company with her ex-husband Richie Myler.

The pair set up Myler Properties LLP in 2020 when they were still together. However in April this year, they went their separate ways after eight-years of marriage.

Recently, Myler Properties LLP was threatened with closure, after it failed to file legally required accounts that showed the partnership’s income and expenditure in January.

Companies House Rules read: "Not filing your confirmation statements, annual returns or accounts is a criminal offence - and directors or LLP designated members could be personally fined in the criminal courts."

This means that assets held by the company could be seized and the business could also face a fine of £1,500 for not filing accounts.

Helen and Richie have been warned of an impending ‘compulsory strike off’ order, and have until Sunday 6 November to successfully show cause that Myler Properties LLP should not be struck off.
