Helen Flanagan's cute tribute to ex Scott Sinclair despite 'splitting' after I'm A Celeb

I'm a Celebrity All Stars' Helen Flanagan proved there's no bad blood between her and Scott Sinclair as she celebrated his birthday on Saturday.

The former Coronation Street star took to social media to share a sweet tribute to the father of her three children, despite the pair reportedly calling time on their 13-year romance and ending their engagement last summer.

Footballer Scott and Helen reportedly split after the mum-of-three finished filming ITV ’s I’m A Celebrity All Stars in South Africa, with Helen pictured without her engagement ring as she walked the red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards in October.

Despite the split, Helen -who has been revealed as one of the campmates returning to the jungle in the pre-recorded ITV show - shared a sweet picture of Scott and their son on her Instagram Stories on Saturday.

"Happy birthday," she wrote, tagging him and adding a white heart emoji with the sweet snap which was taken on holiday.

The couple, who were together for 13 years and share three children, split last October.

Helen, 32, will be joined by Paul Burrell, Carol Vorderman, Shaun Ryder, Fatima Whitbread, Amir Khan, Jordan Banjo, Janice Dickinson and Phil Tufnell.

More stars are set to be announced in the coming weeks, with the series set to air at the end of next month.

The new series has pulled together some of the most memorable celebrities from previous series of the show.

Ant and Dec have promised audiences that the challenges will be "bigger and wilder".

Ant said: "It's a question we always get asked...who would you bring back to the jungle?

"So to get this opportunity to make a brand new show in South Africa and put some of our previous campmates through their paces again was the dream.

Dec added: "It's bigger and wilder than we could have hoped for so viewers are in for a real treat!"

As it is pre-recorded, there will be no public vote and the celebs will be competing to be the first ever " I'm A Celebrity Legend".

Helen was seen screaming in a trailer of the show, which Ant and Dec shared on Saturday Night Takeaway.

Helen, who finished in seventh place the first time around, said: "I am not saying I am going to go in and be a jungle warrior and be absolutely amazing because I will not.

"Yes, I will be scared but I will have a go and I will be a lot better than last time."

She is also rumoured to be joining Celebs Go Dating, with a source saying that she would be "top of E4's wish list".

A source told The Sun: “Helen is the perfect candidate for Celebs Go Dating and E4 is hoping that she will agree to take part when they approach her for the new series.

“Helen would be the star signing for the show and the production team have put her name at the top of their wish list as they think she would be a hit with viewers.

"Helen only split from Scott five months ago so it’s still very early days for her in terms of finding love."
