Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has shared her Christmas plans and revealed she’ll be spending the festive period without her three children.
The 33-year-old actress will be at home in Bolton while her kids enjoy the holidays with their dad, her ex-fiance Scott Sinclair in Bath. Helen spoke about missing her kids on Christmas Day and revealed her plans for a big winter holiday of her own to treat Matilda, Delilah and Charlie for the New Year.
“My children really miss their daddy and they’re very close to their nanna, so they’re going to spend Christmas with them,” she told Closer magazine. “I won’t have them for about four days. It will actually be the first Christmas that I don’t have my children.”

After December 25, Helen will be taking the kids to Bali for a holiday. Interestingly, it was recently revealed that Helen is still wearing her engagement ring from her relationship with Scott, despite their split last year after 13 years together. In a series of Instagram posts featuring her youngest, Helen proudly flaunted her diamond ring.

She captioned her post as: “My beautiful snotty toothy little gremlin. Mamas boy.” It comes after reports emerged of Helen joining former boxer David Haye in his ‘throuple’ with Sian Osbourne. Earlier this year, Helen joined dating app Raya but recently shared how her attempts at finding love have not been successful.
She posted a funny video on TikTok introducing followers to “the men of 2023” – a list of past dates saved in her phone as “too obsessed with their dog” and “Ruined my mental health”. However, she posted a cryptic quote hinting at “falling in love” again. Soon afterwards, rumours started circulating that Sian had given her blessings for Helen and David to go on dates.

The duo originally met during I’m A Celebrity in 2012. They were last seen together at a boxing afterparty at the Ovo Arena where spectators described their exchanges as “flirty”. A pal spilled the beans to The Mirror, saying: “Helen reconnected with David earlier this year. They got on like a house on fire and have been messaging a lot since.
“Helen and Sian have also met and hit it off straight away. Helen’s a very open-minded person and all three got on well. Helen has had some difficult dating experiences since becoming single but is really enjoying David’s company.” They also shared: “Helen and David got on well in the jungle, and so have seen each other a fair bit over the years. But recently they seem to have really clicked and had that chemistry. They’re having a lot of fun together.”

Talking about her split and feelings for Scott last month, Helen told the Sun: “I love Scott and I know that he loves me, but I suppose we just don’t like each other very much at the moment. We don’t really speak and there’s no point in pretending that we’re the best of friends when we’re not. What we had was really special, and because of that, the emotion between us is just too raw. Luckily, I get on really well with his mum and he speaks to my parents, so I’m sure Scott and I will eventually have a better relationship.”
