Newly-single Helen Flanagan celebrates Christmas early after shock split as she reveals incredible tree

HELEN Flanagan has brought Christmas cheer into her home six weeks early after her shock split from fiance Scott Sinclair.

The Coronation Street star stunned fans last night when she unveiled her huge Christmas tree.

The incredible fern was adorned with glittery baubles and sparkling lights.

It had a North Pole theme and was laden with hanging ornaments, including a pair of white ice skates and a polar bear, peeping out from among the leaves.

A white toy soldier stood guard next to the extravagant tree that was surrounded by candles and lanterns.

Helen, 32, said: "I know I'm really early but I was so late with my tree last year and the girls love it."

It came as Scott broke his social media silence yesterday following his split from Helen.

The footballer, 33, took a smiley photograph with their three kids -Matilda, six, Delilah, three, and son Charlie, 19 months - at a soft play centre and captioned it with three love hearts.

His fans told the sportsman they hoped he and Helen, 32, could work through their issues.

One said: "Would love you both to be able to sort things out. So sad."

Another posted: "Hope you guys work things out. Gorgeous family 🙌."

A third wrote: "What a sad end to a lovely family 😢."

The sweet snap comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that Coronation Street star Helen and Scott had separated after 13 years together.

The actress — who played Rosie Webster in Coronation Street - removed her engagement ring last month.

Helen and Bristol Rovers star Scott started dating in 2009.

They got engaged in 2018.

A source said: “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 she came back from South Africa their relationship ended.

“Helen and Scott are committed to co-parenting their kids, even if they are no longer a couple.”
