Scott Sinclair is reportedly dating a model his ex Helen Flanagan has known for years.
The soap siren, 33, and the winger, 35, called it quits last year after a decade-long romance and three kids together. Now, Scott’s been seen out and about in Manchester holding hands with Louise Tarver during a swanky dinner at Sexy Fish.
They apparently played it cool and kept their distance when they realised paparazzi were watching them. It has bene reported that Louise and Helen go way back and she even attended a party thrown by Helen back in 2014.

Helen and Scott’s love story spanned 13 years and they share Matilda, seven, Delilah, five, and Charlie, who’s two. A source told MailOnline: “Helen has known Louise for years, it won’t be easy for her to know Scott is wining and dining her.” Daily Star has reached out to Helen and Scott’s representatives for a comment.
Just last month, Helen opened up about her mental health battles post-breakup, revealing a diagnosis of psychosis and having to ditch her role in the Cluedo 2 tour. She confessed to her Insta fam: “I felt really not great in my head over Christmas and I didn’t really feel that much different when I took the kids away for new year. Had a lot of difficult things going on things I just can’t talk about on Instagram.”
“I felt terrible, so I was due my theatre tour which I was excited about so when I came back from holiday I thought it was best for me to take some medication so I’d feel better and be able to cope better with being a working single mum of three and I was emotionally struggling with the break up from the father of my kids,” she confessed. “But I had a really bad reaction though to the medication ( an ADHD medication) and it sent me into a psychosis for a few days which I didn’t know I was in.”
Last year, Helen opened up about the “love” she still holds for Scott after their separation. She revealed that she’s gained a new confidence after “growing as a person” over a year filled with “a lot of changes and some mistakes.” Speaking to The Sun, Helen said: “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.” When asked about what led to their split, Helen admitted it would be impossible to pinpoint anything specific, but conceded she “struggled” with her mental health following the birth of Charlie in 2021, which put a “strain” on their relationship at times. Helen has now revealed she’s back on the dating scene, using the VIP dating app, Raya, in hopes of finding love again.
