Hold onto your seats, because Gethin Jones is stepping away from the TV screen—and into a whole new spotlight! But here’s where it gets intriguing: just as rumors of a romance with his Morning Live co-host Helen Skelton were cooling off, Gethin has swapped his usual 9:30 AM slot for a magical role on stage. Yes, you read that right—the 47-year-old presenter is trading in his morning show duties for a starring role as Prince Gethin in a production of Sleeping Beauty in Cardiff. Talk about a plot twist! From December 6 to January 4, he’ll be enchanting audiences instead of waking them up, leaving fans to wonder: will Helen Skelton and Gordon Smart hold down the fort on Morning Live without him? And this is the part most people miss—Gethin’s stage debut isn’t just a career shift; it’s a return to his roots in Cardiff, where he’ll join forces with beloved broadcaster Owain Wyn Evans and panto legend Mike Doyle. The play promises a spellbinding adventure filled with magic, music, and comedy, but the real question is: can Prince Gethin break the spell of Carabosse’s wicked plans? Or is he already breaking the spell of his rumored romance with Helen? Speaking of Helen, here’s where it gets controversial: despite fans shipping them as a couple—thanks to their flirty on-screen chemistry and cozy Instagram posts—the pair have always insisted they’re just great friends. Remember those photos of Helen riding on Gethin’s motorbike in Manchester? Well, shortly after, reports claimed they’d ‘cooled things off.’ But Helen isn’t holding back on the praise, calling herself ‘very lucky’ to work with Gethin and Michelle Ackerley, whom she’s known for years. So, is this just a friendship that’s too good to be true, or are they keeping things under wraps? And here’s the burning question: Does Gethin’s new role mark a fresh chapter in his career—or is it a clever distraction from the romance rumors? Let us know what you think in the comments! Whether you’re Team Friendship or Team Romance, one thing’s for sure: Gethin Jones is proving he’s a man of many talents—and we can’t wait to see what he does next.
