Helen Flanagan takes children to watch their footballer dad Scott Sinclair after split

Helen Flanagan took her children on a day out to watch their father Scott Sinclair play football.

The Coronation Street actress, 32, and Scott, 33, shocked friends and family when they announced their split after 13 years together.

The duo have three children together, including Matilda, seven, Delilah, four and Charlie, one.

Helen and Scott put their differences aside as she took them to watch Scott, who plays for Bristol Rovers.

Taking to Instagram, Helen shared a picture of her and her daughter along with the caption: "Watching daddy @scotty__sinclair."

She later shared another snap of her two older daughters and said: "cheering on daddy @official_brfc @scotty__sinclair"

It comes after it was reported that she and her ex-fiancé will be reuniting for Christmas for the sake of their children.

However, a reconciliation as a couple is said to be "out of the question".

Helen's focus is said to be on the three children as she wants to make Christmas as "normal as possible".

A source told The Sun: "Scott is a professional footballer so often he won’t be around on Christmas day because of his fixtures list however Helen and Scott are planning something special for the children."

They continued that while they're no longer together that they will try to make it magical for their kids.

The insider added: "Helen is not open to talk of reconciliation and she just wants them to focus on being co-parents.”

It was recently revealed that the former couple 'hit a rough patch in the summer'.

"Helen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott," it was claimed by a source.

"They hit a rough patch in the summer and after Helen came back from South Africa it ended for good," they added to The Sun.

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

Weeks before the split reports were published, Helen revealed to the Mirror that she and Scott had finally set a date for their nuptials.

Speaking in September, six years after Scott got down on one knee, Helen said: "I have set a date. I'm so picky. I finally found my wedding venue."
