Helen Flanagan detailed her plans for Christmas, without children Matilda, seven, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two.
The heartbroken former Coronation Street actress will spend the festivities at home in Bolton as the kids enjoy the holidays with their dad, her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair. Helen, 33 and Scott, 34, went their separate ways in July 2022 after 13 years together.
The couple's kids are heading on holiday with Scott in Bath over the Christmas break and Helen has opened up about missing them on the big day, revealing her grand plans for a big winter holiday of her own to treat Matilda, Delilah and Charlie for the New Year.

Helen will be away from her children for Christmas (Instagram/hjgflanagan)"My children really miss their daddy and they're very close to their nanna, so they're going to spend Christmas with them," she told Closer. "I won't have them for about four days. It will actually be the first Christmas that I don't have my children."
She'll get the kids back after December 25, and it taking them to Bali. It comes after it was revealed that Helen is still wearing her engagement ring from her relationship with Scott - despite splitting from her footballer ex-fiancé last year. In a series of sweet Instagram snaps with her youngest on Thursday, however, Helen's diamond was there for all to see as she cradled the youngster in a mirror selfie. Helen captioned her post: "My beautiful snotty toothy little gremlin. Mamas boy."

After signing up for dating app Raya earlier this year Helen recently revealed her attempts to find a new man have failed dramatically as she shared an hilarious video on TikTok. The clip saw Helen introduce "the men of 2023" to her followers - a list of past dates in her phonebook she had saved as "too obsessed with their dog" and "Ruined my mental health".
Addressing her break-up and "love" for Scott last month, meanwhile, former soap star Helen told the Sun: "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."
