Helen Flanagan, a performer in a Liverpool pantomime, has posted an emotional Instagram post about being without her three kids over Christmas.
Helen Flanagan has candidly shared her struggles with an “up and down” festive season without her children amidst a spat with the father of her kids, Scott Sinclair. The 35 year old former Coronation Street star took to Instagram to shed light on her emotional state following her public criticism of the ex-footballer’s parenting decisions.
Helen recently made no mince words when she described her ex-partner as a “piece of s**t” because he didn’t want to see their son’s nativity play in Abu Dhabi. She posted a picture of herself sitting on a chair in a pink halterneck top while putting the drama to rest for a moment.
In her honest caption, Helen, who is currently playing the Wicked Queen in Liverpool’s Snow White pantomime over the holiday season, wrote: “Been a bit up and down mood wise the past few days. So not really been on my social so thought we could have a catch up.”
She then shared a nostalgic photo from last year’s Christmas celebrations with her three children Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, four. Helen ended her relationship with her former fiancé in 2022 after being together for 13 years. She continued: “I struggled with the kids going for Christmas a few days before they went.”
“I am aware that today is just a day. They left on the 22nd, but I won’t hear back until I’ve finished the panto. She continued, “This was last year at my mother’s,” referring to the photo. These past few days have been a little up and down in terms of mood.
It’s been a rocky road for parents-of-three, Helen and Scott, who called time on their relationship in 2022. Just last week, Helen called Scott “a piece of s**t” in the scathing rant, said to be the “final straw” for Helen three years after ending her relationship with the footballer.
Despite their split, Helen has made a lot of efforts to ensure that she has the upper hand when it comes to giving their children gifts and celebrations.
In a revealing new interview with Closer magazine, Helen didn’t hold back when discussing her ex’s role in parenting. She admitted that while the two of them have to coordinate gifts for their children, she isn’t shy about taking control. “Oh, we have to discuss buying gifts for the kids,” she explained.
If we bought the same item, it would really irritate me. I’m not sure if Scott would actually shop for the kids; he’s a man. His mother probably does it, but he is completely useless. So I simply let him know what I’m purchasing, and that’s it.
Helen’s candid comments are sure to stir the pot, highlighting a dynamic that’s less than friendly. Meanwhile, Scott has yet to publicly respond to her latest remarks, leaving the speculation and gossip mill running at full speed.
Helen shocked fans when she learned that Scott and she had split after going through a “rough patch” and moving into a new home in Cheshire a year later.
After finally calling it quits after a number of reconciliations, she spoke to Charlotte Dawson on her podcast last year and insisted that she and Scott did love each other, but ‘didn’t like each other at all’.
Lifting the lid on their rocky relationship, Helen said: “I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don’t like each other. We don’t like each other at all, we don’t get on. I do know that Scott – he’d never admit it – cares about me too and he does love me.”
She continued, “I took the p*** out of him because he had a bucket hat on, and I thought it was quite funny the last time I saw him.” I believe he made an effort to not laugh.
The Rosie Webster star spoke of her sadness over her split earlier this year when she told The Sun: “Breaking up is so sad, and it’s better for your mental health and 100% better for the kids. “
Helen and Scott’s relationship is notoriously secretive, but the actress admitted that the two still have a relationship. However, the actress acknowledged that the two still have a relationship.
