Helen Flanagan divides fans as she puts up Christmas tree seven weeks early amid 'split'

Helen Flanagan has proved that she's in the festive spirit by putting up her Christmas tree a whopping seven weeks before Christmas Day.

The former Coronation Street actress left fans divided when she shared a glimpse of her decorated home as she and her three kids could potentially be preparing for their first festive season without her fiancé, Scott Sinclair amid claims the pair have split after 13-years together.

The mother-of-three, who shares kids Matilda, 7, Delilah, 4, and son Charlie, 1, with Scott, has proved that she's fully in the swing of festivities as she shared a glimpse at her epic Christmas decorations which she says, her kids are delighted about.

Helen, 32, took to her Instagram stories to show off her newly-decorated living room which featured a towering Christmas tree with silver ribbons, silver baubles, and quirky trinkets all hanging from the festive tree.

She didn't stop there however, as the proud mum added a classic nutcracker model to the Christmas corner of her living room, as well as two large festive-themed candles which tied the whole look together.

Alongside the snippet of her premature Christmas decorations, Helen confessed that she knew some fans may think it's a tad too early to get in the festive season - but the actress insisted that her kids love to start the festive season earlier than most.

"I know I'm really early, but I was so late with my tree last year and the girls love it," Helen explained.

While Helen and her clan seem to love ringing in the festive season earlier than expected, some of her fans were clearly not on board with her decision to kickstart Christmas during the first week of November.

"Not Helen Flanagan putting up her Christmas tree seven weeks early. That is just DEPRESSING. The magic of Christmas is well and truly dead when you have almost two months to go," complained one Twitter user.

"Gosh, celebrities and their Christmas decorations make me physically ill. There's literally no need Helen," another echoed.

"Bit early alright," a third quipped, while a fourth disagreed: "Let people live and do what they want. It makes no difference to your life if Helen has her Christmas tree up - grow up."

It comes as Helen's Christmas this year could be a bittersweet amid reports that she and her fiancé Scott are 'on the rocks'.

Last month, an insider claimed Scott and Helen 'hit a rough patch in the summer"'with the mum-of-three reportedly already telling her close friends and family that she is 'no longer with Scott'.

"Helen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott," the source told The Sun.

"They hit a rough patch in the summer and after Helen came back from South Africa it ended for good.

"Helen and Scott have committed to co-parenting their kids as a family unit."

The Mirror has contacted Helen and Scott's reps for comment.
