Helen Flanagan 'signs up to celebrity dating app' after split from Bristol Rovers fiancé

Helen Flanagan has reportedly signed up to a celebrity dating app after splitting from her Bristol Rovers' footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair, according to reports. The Coronation Street star split from the winger after their 13-year romance.

They share three children together - Delilah, Matilda and Charlie. Now it has been reported that Helen, 32, is ready to start dating again after signing up to Raya.

One profile picture, obtained by The Sun, shows her smiling at the camera, with her blonde hair styled in loose waves. Another snap saw the star posing in a tight black dress.

Speaking about Helen's profile, a source told the publication: "Helen has been feeling more and more positive about the future since the new year and feels ready to enjoy some nice dates and male company.

"She's feeling super-confident since her boob job and just thought why not?"

Helen and Scott shocked friends and family last year after their sudden split. They started dating in 2009 before getting engaged in 2018. They had been due to marry next year.

She is s best known for playing Rosie Webster in the ITV soap opera from 2000 to 2012. She then reprised the role in 2017 before going on maternity leave the following year.

In 2006, she was nominated for the "Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor or Actress" at the British Soap Awards, but narrowly lost out to Ellis Hollins of Hollyoaks. At the same awards a year later, she was nominated for "Villain of the Year", but this time lost out to Corrie co-star Jack Shepherd.


The 32-year-old actress also appeared on the twelfth series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2012. She finished in seventh place.

Away from her career, Flanagan revealed that she hadn't shared a bed with Sinclair for around seven years. She posted on Instagram to explain why.

The post, from May this year, read: "I've always co-slept with Charlie and the breast feeding went hand in hand. I'm doing my house up at the moment (hence why most of my pics are taken in the lounge area as I haven't got round to the rest).

"One of my next jobs is mine and Scott’s room and after seven years it would be nice as a couple to actually share a bed and not feel like flat mates!. I’ve always just co-slept with the kids out of easiness and just basically so I can sleep and just function in the morning."
