Helen Flanagan reuniting with footballer ex Scott Sinclair just months after shock split

HELEN Flanagan will reunite with Scott Sinclair for Christmas.

Insiders said the pair planned to enjoy the festivities together for the sake of their three children following their split last month.

Former Coronation Street actress Helen, 32, and Bristol Rovers footballer Scott, 33, ended their engagement after 13 years together.

Pals said they would be together for their children but any talk of a reconciliation was out of the question.

A source said: “Helen’s sole focus is the three children she shares with Scott and they want to make this Christmas as ‘normal’ as possible.

“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.

“Although they’re no longer together they will work together to make it magical for the kids.

“Helen is not open to talk of reconciliation and she just wants them to focus on being co-parents.”

The Sun first revealed how Helen and Scott had split last month – with the soap actress ditching her engagement ring.

Insiders later revealed how the Bury born star panicked their relationship was doomed after her ring broke.

A pal said at the time: “Helen's engagement ring snapped earlier this year.

“She's into all things spiritual and had a feeling so she sought guidance from a psychic medium.

“Helen and Scott really tried to work on their relationship but ultimately she saw the ring breaking as a bad omen and one that meant she shouldn't get married.”

Helen started telling she was single just weeks after she'd finished filming ITV’s I’m A Celebrity All Stars in South Africa.

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.”

In May, Helen revealed that the pair had not shared a bed for seven years — with the star choosing to sleep with her children.

The source said: “Helen turfed Scott out of their marital bed a long time ago because she co-sleeps with their kids.”
