In other news, Helen recently shared that she feared her career was over after experiencing a “very scary” psychotic episode. The soap star found it difficult to feel “normal” following her 2022 split from Scott, and had an “awful reaction” to her ADHD medication, which left her feeling at her lowest.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, Helen said: “I don’t see it as a break-up, I see it as a divorce. We were together 13 years.
“But instead of processing it all, I threw myself into work and shut off my emotions. I just went into survival mode. Then it all came to the surface earlier this year and I was mentally and physically breaking down.”
Regarding her psychotic episode, she added: “It was really sad and very scary. I was seeing things and I felt like I was in danger all the time.”
