Gethin Jones says ‘I do it for you’ in ‘awkward’ moment with Morning Live co-star
Morning Live star Gethin Jones shared an “awkward” moment with his co-presenter Helen Skelton during Monday’s, September 16 episode of the BBC show. The pair were wrapping up a segment about challenging council tax with consumer journalist Felicity Hannah when the moment happened.
Upon closing that section of the show, Gethin said: “Everything I do, I do it for you,” referencing the Bryan Adams song of the same name. At first Helen thought he was talking to Felicity and she said: “You made Felicity really uncomfortable then. She didn't know where you were going with that.”
“I was looking at you. That was the awkward bit,” Gethin then told Helen who replied: “More so now though, eh?”, and jokingly moved her chair away from him.

The reason Gethin brought up that particular song was because, according to Felicity, to understand council tax someone has to cast their minds back to 1991. She told him: “Bryan Adams was in the charts with Everything I Do (I Do It For You)”, which Gethin called a “good reference”.
Gethin and Helen have co-hosted Morning Live together since 2013. In a joint interview with Mail Online, Helen told Gethin: "I don't think you've got time for a partner because you're so busy looking after the rest of us. Whenever I have technical questions about my wi-fi for example, I'm like, 'Geth, how do I do this, how can I do that?'"
Gethin is currently single. He previously dated opera singer Katherine Jenkins from 2007 to 2011, before entering a brief romance with TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh in 2014. Gethin's last public relationship was with German model Katja Zwara – the pair dated for a year before splitting in February 2018.
When Gethin asked Helen and Michelle why they thought he might be single, Helen was quick to reply. "You don't have to be single. You just have high standards," she said.
