With Helen Flanagan’s new warts-and-all book months away from for the shelves, she has taken a poke at her ex Scott Sinclair – but that could be the least of his problems
Scott Sinclair is bracing for Helen Flanagan’s new book after she gave him a little taste of what might be ahead.
The former Coronation Street star has announced she’s writing a no-holds-barred tell-all – and vowed to reveal all, with no “airbrushing” of what really happened in her life. That puts footballer Scott firmly in the firing line, especially after she offered a fresh poke this weekend.
Scott and Helen, who share three children Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, appeared to be keeping things friendly. The pair separated in 2022 after 13 years together and had been co-parenting under the same roof earlier this year – despite the actress previously claiming they “don’t like each other”.

She made a fresh dig on Sunday when she shared a post from @pettycoparenting101 which read: “You can’t just go around calling your kids’ dad a b*****” – it was paired with a meme of rap star Usher putting a knowing face. It left fans wondering if the pair had fallen out again.
Last year, it was revealed Scott was dating an old family friend, Lauren Davies, 34, and had been for “several months”. During a rocky few years, Scott even blocked Helen’s number – but the pair managed to put their differences aside in March, when they came together to celebrate son Charlie’s fourth birthday.
“Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we still end up telling each other to f**k off. But we’ve managed to keep things quite nice and we’ve been fair to each other,” Helen said in April. “It’s helped that our families get on and I have a good relationship with his mum.”
Helen’s new book was announced last week and will hit shelves in January. It’s available to pre-order now. She says it’s vital for her to show the person she really is – not the one we first saw on our screens as the 10-year-old face of Weatherfield’s Rosie Webster.
“I’ve made mistakes, I’ve been hurt and I’ve had to rebuild from rock bottom, but I’ve also learned, grown and come out the other side a better, stronger person,” she said. “Telling my truth meant no hiding – no glossing over or airbrushing.” The actress joined Corrie as Rosie in 2000 and stayed for 12 years, before going on to become a lads’ mag favourite in the early 2010s and has never left the limelight since.
Now diagnosed with ADHD, Helen, who lives in Bolton, has also faced money troubles and, earlier this year, was banned from driving for six months after twice failing to disclose the identity of the person behind the wheel of her car when it was caught speeding.
The book is one of the latest releases from Mirror Books, following the likes of Amanda Barrie’s I’m Still Here and EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison’s Behind the Scenes, which were both released last month. Helen will detail the highs and lows of her life in the spotlight – and it’s put her exs on red alert.
Mirror Books Commissioning Editor Clare Fitzsimons says: “Helen Flanagan has grown up in the public eye, having played Rosie in Corrie for 12 years, and documents her life to her million-plus followers on Instagram.
“But for the first time, Helen will share her full, unedited story, from truly difficult struggles to fighting back for her beautiful family. We’re thrilled to be releasing Helen’s powerful, frank and moving memoir.”
