Helen's new theatre role comes after the star admitted to an 'ugly fallout' with her ex Scott Sinclair, who she shares three children with. The couple split in October last year after being together for 13 years and engaged for four. They share children Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and two-year-old Charlie.
Despite co-parenting together, Helen revealed her and footballer ex Scott Sinclair, “don’t like each other very much”. Opening up on their split for the first time in an interview, she told the : "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."
