Helen Flanagan, a star of Coronation Street, has revealed details of her most recent, “brave” career move after years of illness that left her feeling “powerless.”
Helen Flanagan has shared some news about the next step of her career and how “brave” she’s had to be to get it going. This comes after the former Coronation Street star suffered ill health that left her feeling “powerless”.
Earlier this month, Helen, who first shot to fame as Rosie Webster in Coronation Street, revealed she’s adding ‘author’ to her list of accomplishments. The actress is getting ready to release her first “tell-all” biography, titled Head and Heart: Break-ups, Breakdowns and Being Rosie.
The book is intended to be a “powerful, honest, and moving memoir” that follows Helen from childhood to the present.

She said at the time, “I’m so happy to tell you about my book.” Writing a book about motherhood, mental health, and everything in between has been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.
I became incredibly ill in January 2024. I felt extremely powerless because I couldn’t work or look after my kids, but writing down what I was going through helped. Some of it didn’t make sense, but some of it did, so I wanted to use that knowledge to inform my decision-making. So we are now.
Since then, Helen has revealed that the book is now available for pre-order and has updated it with a new update. She shared a video of a photo shoot she did for the book, and said, “I’m going to put the link in my bio to pre-order it.”
She added that writing about her mental illness was “therapeutic” for her and that she needed to be brave, but that she hopes readers will share her experiences with it.
Writing so openly and honestly about heartache and mental illness has been very therapeutic for me. It was difficult at times, and it required revisiting some difficult life experiences, but it feels like I’ve finally done it.
I’ve discussed topics I’ve never discussed before. I’ve been keeping so much secret until now. I’ve had to be brave because I don’t take myself too seriously and a lot of my life has been, well, a bit crazy, so I think it will make you laugh. I’ve been in a few hilarious situations over the years.
Clare Fitzsimons, the commissioning editor of Mirror Books, who are publishing the memoir, said: “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.
For the first time, Helen will reveal her full, unrefined story, starting with her courageous battles for her gorgeous family. Helen’s powerful, honest, and moving memoir is a joy to be releasing.
