Tourist death charge

But she says her biggest challenge on the move is … her one- year - old son Ernie.

The 33-year-old Countryfile star travels a lot with her job and says taking Ernie can be fun – or hell.

Helen said: “He comes with me and then he’ll go off with my mum or my mum-in-law.

“I chat to people until they end up carrying my bags. People are so good.

“An immaculate French lady offered to hold Ernie and he pulled the earring f rom her ea r, blood everywhere.

“I left his baby bag at check-in once and had to go round the plane asking people for nappies.

“And once my plane got cancelled and I got stuck in Barcelona. So I got the train. The wrong train to the wrong town. And my phone died.

“My husband was driving around all these Spanish stations – and me and Ernie were sat having tapas.”

Helen is taking over from Clare Balding to front the coverage of the s w immi n g at t he Olympics in Rio.

And she admits it will be a tough job.

She added: “Cla re became iconic for the swimming coverage of the Olympics.” A 19-year-old man charged with a knife attack in London which left an American tourist dead and five people injured was remanded in custody yesterday.

Zakaria Bulhan, 19, is accused of murdering retired teacher Darlene Horton, 64, at Russell Square on Wednesday evening.
