Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has been seen with Scott Sinclair for the first time since they split up. Helen, 32, posted a video on Instagram of herself leaving I'm A Celebrity South Africa and heading back home.
Bristol Rovers' Scott, 34, is spotted waiting for Helen and their three kids on the stairs. The couple share Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, two. Helen wrote: "Found this video of when I came back from the jungle. I was away for one month and never left my babies before."
She started dating billionaire athlete Scott in 2009, and the pair were together for 13 years. Helen said they broke up just before she left for South Africa to film the show last September, but she kept the engagement ring on to hide the breakup, as reported by The Sun.

The actress told OK!: "I did wear my engagement ring when I was in the jungle. We’d only just broken up, and I didn’t want everyone to be asking, 'Where’s your ring?' I wanted to keep it private for the kids."
She added: "I just hope we can be good friends and co-parent. A lot of people say: 'Oh, stay, make things work for the children.' "But children need happy parents and they need a happy environment, so it's not always so straightforward."
It was then announced in October that Helen, who played Rosie Webster in Corrie, and Scott had called time on their relationship. When Scott took a break from training in April, they did rejoin in Dubai and spend time with their kids. They were not seen together, though, and Helen insisted later that they hadn't resumed their romance.
She said, after being seen with her ring on again: "Scott was there on a break from training, so we spent a day together with the kids. That was it.
"I didn't even think about wearing a ring on that finger. My ring is my ring, it's for my girls."
