Helen Flanagan powerful statement as she has to spend Christmas apart from kids
Helen Flanagan has opened up about the reasons behind her very different Christmas this year, after revealing she won't be spending the big day with her three young children.
The former Coronation Street star, who shot to fame as Rosie Webster in the long-running ITV soap, shares three children – Matilda, eight, Delilah, five, and two-year-old Charlie – with footballer ex Scott Sinclair.
Scott and Helen announced they were splitting after 13 years together last summer, but as it was so fresh still decided to spend Christmas together as a family in 2022. But this year the kids are having Christmas with Scott’s side of the family, who live in Bath nearly 200 miles away from Helen’s home in Bolton.
Admitting she feels “really sad” when she is apart from her children, 33-year-old Helen revealed she won’t have her kids for four days over the festive period, so plans to do something special for New Year’s Eve instead - with her arranging a very lavish holiday with her brood to make up for it.

My children really miss their daddy and they’re very close to their nanna so they’re going to spend Christmas with them. I won’t have them for about four days. It will actually be the first Christmas that I don’t have the children. “

Opening up on co-parenting with ex Scott, Helen shared: “I think it’s good to have challenges and with co-parenting, you have to be fair. And it’s not about you, it’s about the children what makes them happy.”
The mum added: "I’m going to take all three of my kids, and my friends, to Bali for New Year."
Helen recently said her relationship with Scott now was “up and down” and although they are managing to co-parent they sometimes “don’t like each other very much” so go through other family members to sort out arrangements for the kids.
She told : "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."
