Helen Flanagan admits she was sad in her 'empty house' as her kids enjoyed the Coronation bank holiday weekend with Scott Sinclair.
The former Coronation Street star, who is currently appearing on I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, opened up about her first weekend alone without her kids following her split with Scott. The former couple split last July shortly before Helen, 32, jetted to South Africa to film the ITV series.
Helen and Scott were together for 13 years after meeting in 2009 before the footballer popped the question in 2018 at Disneyland Paris. Despite their split, the former couple appear to be on good terms as they focus on co-parenting their three children - Matilda, 7, Delilah, 4, and son Charlie, 2.
Sharing a clip of herself holding her pet Guinea pig and waving a Union Jack in celebration of King Charles III's Coronation Helen opened up on her emotional weekend.
Sharing a lengthy statement on Instagram, Helen wrote: "So this long weekend was my first weekend that I didn’t have my kids as they were having a good time with their daddy and nanna. I usually when my kids go away make sure I go out, usually run to London and get drunk with my friends.
"I felt like it was time though to face being in my family house on my own which is something I’ve put off for a very long time as I didn’t want to feel sad."
She added: "But sometimes I suppose you’ve just got to feel stuff and it’s ok to cry x I wanted to share this because sometimes we scroll on Instagram and things can look perfect but in reality some things are just S**t…
"also I have a big following of other mums and women that will relate to me and I love that I’ve built a supportive network of women x".
Helen previously opened up about her split with Scott and admits she will always love him. She told OK! Magazine: “You don’t spend all your twenties with someone, have three children and not have a good relationship and care about them and love them.
"When you have that with someone, no one – nothing – can take away what we had. I’ll always love him and he’ll always love me, you just sometimes don’t work any more.
“It will always be really special. But I don’t regret anything. I have three perfect children.”
