Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan turned heads on the beach in a tiny floral bikini in France following her rumoured split from boyfriend Robbie Talbot
Helen Flanagan put on a scorching display on the beach after her rumoured split from boyfriend Robbie Talbot.
The 34-year-old soap star is famed for playing Rosie Webster on Coronation Street, but she looked every bit the Baywatch beauty on the beach in France. Helen looked incredible in a bargain blue floral swimsuit as she went for a dip in the sea at the swanky YOLO beach club in Antibes.
The doting mum-of-three soaked up the rays in a stunning £14 swimsuit from Primark and sported a pair of black Miu Miu designer sunglasses. She showed off her killer figure in the swimsuit while paddling in the ocean during her solo trip to the south of France.
The mum-of-three tied up her blonde locks in a bun to avoid getting her hair splashed and later clutched a bright blue linen shirt, also from Primark, priced at £10. The shirt and swimsuit is part of the high street store’s Love the Summer range and available to buy from May 27.
Helen turned heads on the beach as she strode into the crystal-clear water and was also seen sprawled out on a sunbed. The holiday was perhaps a welcome distraction from her recent break-up.
It’s said Helen wanted to have children with former footballer Robbie, 45, who himself is a parent of two. However, it’s claimed she realised their relationship wasn’t working out and is now looking to focus on her career and kids.
A source told The Sun: “They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.
“She sat him down two weeks ago and said, ‘This isn’t working.’ It was a grown-up chat. She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him.”
Helen has three her kids from her previous relationship with her ex, footballer Scott Sinclair. The pair, who separated in 2022, are parents to Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and three-year-old Charlie.
The soap star described Robbie as “really, really funny” and they first crossed paths in a bar before she appeared on Celebs Go Dating. Helen got told off by the Celebs Go Dating experts when she revealed their relationship as they had been under the impression she was single.
He previously revealed: “I thought she was stunning. It was all very old-fashioned. I made a joke about a coat my friend was wearing and from there we got chatting.”
However, Helen’s initial impression was slightly different. “I thought he was gay,” she laughed. “He has these really white teeth and was so well dressed and smart and he was with his mate and I just assumed.
“As soon as we got talking, I realised that wasn’t the case, we exchanged numbers, started messaging and here we are!”. Helen recently opened up about why Robbie moved out.
She told Fabulous: “I’d asked him to stay for a while, because I often get quite scared in the house on my own and feel safer with a man there.
“But Matilda is very sensitive and a proper daddy’s girl, and she struggles with not seeing Scott as often as she’d like. I always think about how she feels when she misses her dad, and having my boyfriend there maybe doesn’t help her. When you’re a mum, you do what you’ve got to do for your kids – I will always put mine first.”
