Helen Flanagan branded Scott Sinclair “a piece of s**t” on Instagram in an explosive rant about the former Celtic and Swansea footballer, who is father to Helen’s three children
Helen Flanagan took aim at her ex Scott Sinclair in a foul-mouthed Instagram rant this week after growing angry at the former footie star’s “selfish” behaviour.
Ex-Coronation Street actress Helen, 35, flipped when she spotted photos of Scott, 36, living the high life at the Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi after skipping their four-year-old son’s Christmas nativity play to watch Lando Norris secure his first Drivers Championship title.
Lashing out online at the ex-Celtic ace, she shared his jet setting Instagram post and raged: “You really are a piece of s**t. How dare you not turn up to Charlie’s nativity.”
Now sources claim she “wanted to make a point” and Scott’s decision to skip Charlie’s school performance was just the tip of the iceberg.
A pal told The Sun: “Helen is working full-time at the moment in panto so was expecting Scott to cover the nativity and go for her, as she has a lot on her plate and he is retired.
“When he didn’t bother, she wan’t happy and took to her social media to vent her frustration and make a point. Their relationship is difficult at times – co-parenting is hard.”
Helen was spotted looking stony-faced on Wednesday heading to her latest panto performance in Liverpool, where she is starring as the Wicked Queen in a production of Snow White.
Another pal said: “Helen’s livid with Scott’s behaviour. He’s thinking about himself, not his children. She said, ‘I’m done letting him treat his family like this’. At the end of the day, Helen is the mother of his kids. He needs to show more respect.”
Helen and Scott share daughters Matilda, ten, Delilah, seven, and fouryear-old son Charlie.
But pals say tensions between the two are so bad that the pair have blocked each other on WhatsApp and are communicating through family members.
Meanwhile, another source close to the couple blames newly single Scott for embracing his “Hot Boy Winter” moment, leaving his family to suffer.
Standing in front of a huge F1 sign, he posed gleefully and posted: “What a weekend – Abu Dhabi F1. Happy Days, blurry nights.”
A source told the Sun: “Ever since Scott became single again things started to go downhill. It’s been an incredibly testing few months for Helen, who feels like she is busting a gut and Scott doesn’t seem to get it.
“To make matters worse he is having the children for Christmas this year, which is another blow.”
