Helen Flanagan reunites with brother in rare festive snap for first Christmas without fiancé

Former Celtic WAG Helen Flanagan spent some quality time with family over the festive period in her first Christmas without ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair.

The former Coronation Street star shared a post to social media with her big brother Tom as he makes a rare appearance on her Instagram, reports the Mirror. Fans of the actress flocked to her comments to let her know that her older sibling is "a wee hottie".

Helen posted a photo of her grinning with older brother Tom, 39, during a dinner at The Ivy Spinningfields in Manchester on Boxing Day. The former partner of ex-Celtic footballer Scott Sinclair reunited with the athlete to surprise their children on Christmas Day.

Helen captioned the snap with brother Tom: "Such a nice night with my brother last night. He lives in Bangkok so I don’t get to see him much x."

Helen grew up with Tom and the rest of her family in Bolton. Mum Julie is a nursery nurse, her dad Paul is an electrical contractor, and she has three siblings - costumier Jane, 40, student Jessica, 29, and 39-year-old electrician Tom.

Fans flocked to the star's sweet update to share their opinion on her family resemblance. One Instagram user wrote: "Good looking bloke."

Another said: "Handsome man."

And a third quipped: "He is a wee hottie too x."

Another fan said: "Wow how lovely is your family."

This festive season marks Helen's first Christmas as a single mother, as she split from footballer Scott Sinclair after 13 years together earlier in 2022.

Neither Helen or the Bristol Rovers footballer player, 33, have confirmed or denied rumours about their relationship, but the two stars are said to have called off their engagement over the summer.

A source claimed in October: "Helen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott.

"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."
