Helen Flanagan, the star of Coronation Street, cried as she spoke out about the realities of parenting with Scott Sinclair, an ex-fiancé.
Helen Flanagan told fans she ‘f***ing hates co-parenting’ as she broke down in tears in an honest rant shared on her Instagram Stories on Monday. The 35-year-old soap star cried on camera while wearing a grey pyjama set with her blonde hair tied up into a messy bun.
After attending Manchester Pride on Sunday, she dropped off her kids, Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair. As the former couple are co-parenting, the kids spend some of their holidays with the footballer but Helen isn’t the biggest fan of the set up.
Helen acknowledged that she struggled “absolutely.” I find it difficult when they disappear, and I only enjoy them disappearing when I do something. I’m currently experiencing a lot of anxiety.

The Coronation Street star admitted she didn’t want her children to go before adding: “I just f**king hate co-parenting. I really really struggle…
I really struggle when they disappear, she says. They should not leave, I don’t like it. If I’m doing something, I only like them leaving. Simply put, it’s very difficult. It’s just really difficult, especially when you’re not moving along.
She continued, “Your babies, you can’t speak the same when they leave.” Because I’m always with the kids, I had a lot of anxiety recently, so I haven’t had a minute. This may help me some. It has two sides…
“When they leave, I want them back, and when I’m with them constantly, I get really depressed before f**king.” It makes me feel like I can’t drink [hands]… Yesterday, I didn’t drink that much.
I never drink a lot, and I always stick to tequilas. Although I’m not going to stop crying right now, I do believe it’s worthwhile to cry just to get it out.
She acknowledged that she recently experienced “bad anxiety,” and that she believes that because of the children returning to school, she can get organized by getting dressed up and having fun with my friends and getting some sleep, and getting some things done that I can’t normally do.
The actress claimed that she has been experiencing “a buildup of anxiety,” which hasn’t been “easy.” I’m fine, Helen said. Being alone is a real struggle for me because I’m always with one of my friends, not just in a relationship.
I’ve known my friends for a long time, which is why I enjoy using social media so much because I’m constantly interacting with people.
I can’t possibly think of anything worse because I’m so bad at being on my own. I really have no idea how to do it. I prefer my friends over me, and I dislike being alone. That is my breakdown, enough. I’ll create a list so I can be productive.
