Helena Worthington, a beloved star of Channel 4's Gogglebox, has shared a joyful pregnancy update with her fans. The 33-year-old, who has been a fixture on the show for eight years, is expecting her second child.
A Precious Family Update
Taking to Instagram, Helena confirmed the happy news, revealing she is 33 weeks pregnant. She posted a series of snaps from a day out at RHS Bridgewater, reflecting on this special time with her family. In a heartfelt caption, she described the "in-between moments" as "messy, slow, and very real."
She wrote: "Pregnant. Tired. Raging indigestion. Still crouching down to explain why we don't dig up all the bulbs. 33 weeks pregnant at RHS Bridgewater with my first baby, while waiting for my next one." Helena also expressed her excitement mixed with the poignant realisation that her six-year-old son, Erwin, will suddenly seem so much bigger.
Life Away From the Screen
While the nation knows her for her witty commentary filmed at her mum Alison's house, Helena has built a vibrant life of her own in Salford. She lives there with her partner, Dan, and their son. Her Instagram feed offers a glimpse into their colourful, art-filled home, showcasing handmade crochet blankets and striking artwork.
Beyond television, Helena is an accomplished artist, specialising in sculpture and painting. Her work has been exhibited in prestigious venues including The Whitworth Art Gallery and featured in The Manchester Open at Home. Many of her paintings reside in private collections, marking a successful parallel career.
From Wall Drawings to Gogglebox Fame
Helena joined the hit Channel 4 show back in 2017 for its tenth series alongside her mum Alison and Alison's partner, George. The Manchester-based trio quickly won over audiences with their hilarious one-liners and comical reactions.
In a past interview with ilovemanchester.com, Helena humorously traced her artistic roots: "When I was very little I used to draw on the walls and in my mum's cook books and then blame it on my brother... so I guess that was the start of things." This creative spark has clearly flourished into a dedicated practice alongside her television fame.
Fans have rushed to congratulate the star on her pregnancy news, celebrating the next chapter for the much-loved Gogglebox family. As she awaits the arrival of her new baby, Helena continues to cherish the slow, real moments with her growing family.
