Helen also reposted a photo from her pal as the group got glammed up for a night on the town.
Th trip appeared to be an early 40th birthday celebration for Helen as her friend captioned the snaps ‘Birthday Queen’. Helen’s big day is on July 19.
The presenter split from her ex-husband Richie Myer, 32, in April 2022 just four months after she gave birth to their youngest child, Elsie.
Helen and the rugby league player Richie are parents to Ernie, seven, Louis, eight and Elsie, 17 months.
Six months after Helen and Richie split, it emerged that Richie and his new girlfriend Stephanie Thirkill were expecting their first child together.
Helen recently revealed her hilarious response to being asked whether she has a boyfriend, proudly sharing her choice of comeback in an interview with Grazia.
She complained that, during her time hosting Blue Peter between 2008 and 2013, her love life was always brought up by pals rather than her personal accomplishments.
Helen said: ‘I was travelling all around the world, and seeing and doing incredible things. And whenever I came home and caught up with people, all they would ask is, “Have you got a boyfriend?” I was like, “No, but I’ve got a few world records!”‘

In the same interview, she detailed why she doesn’t need any sympathy in the wake of her split from Richie.
The TV personality was asked about her tricky time raising three children on her parents’ farm after moving from Leeds to Cumbria following the separation.
Choosing not to discuss her split from Leeds Rhinos star Richie in any length, she simply said: ‘My life’s no different to millions of other people’s lives.
‘Lots of people have the same sorts of things to look after and sort out. I think life is fun, and short, and wonderful, and you just take each chapter as it comes along. There’s no point overthinking stuff, you just get on with it.’
Helen says that having three children means she doesn’t have time to concern herself with other things.
She continued: ‘I’ve always got something to do because they always need something. I’ve loved my babies being babies because you’ve got no time to be stressed about anything else.’
