Helen Flanagan has candidly revealed that she ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair are not on speaking terms following their ‘very raw’ split.
The former Corrie star, 33, parted ways the footballer, 34, in July last year after 13 years together which she says left their children ‘upset’.
Helen, who shares children Matilda, seven, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two, with Scott, admitted how the couple now only speak through their parents.
Telling The Sun: ‘I love Scott and I know that he loves me, but I suppose we just don’t like each other very much at the moment. We don’t really speak and there’s no point in pretending that we’re the best of friends when we’re not’.
She went on to describe her former partner as a ‘good guy’ but concluded he ‘wasn’t very good’ with his emotions, something which contributed to the break-up.
Helen told the publication her post-natal depression after having son Charlie in 2021 also put a strain on the relationship.
‘Maybe I wasn’t the easiest person to live with – neither was he! – but there were a lot of factors that led to the end of the relationship. It wasn’t just one thing’.
The soap star then went on to reveal how the separation has affected their children with eldest Matilda questioning if her parents were no longer ‘compatible’.
Saying: ‘She has been upset and I’ve always told her she’s got every right to feel how she feels, and that I’m always here for her and we’d work things through’.
It comes just a month after Helen seemingly took a swipe at her ex-fiancé in a cryptic Instagram post.
She shared a quote on her story which hints that she is grateful for never getting a tattoo of his name on her body.
The quote read: ‘Whenever I’m having a bad day I just stop and remind myself at least I don’t have my ex’s name tattooed on my body.’
It’s not the first time Helen has made a dig at Scott as she recently posted a video on TikTok which implied he was seeing other women.
Captioning the clip ‘POV – when your babies’ about to go to their dad’s’ the actress filmed herself lip syncing to an audio clip from the movie Norbit as she said ‘Little Miss Skinny B***h gonna be there?’
The video then cut to her youngest child Charlie as the audio continued: ‘Oh you mean Miss Ling Ling?’
Helen then mouthed: ‘Oh you know damn well I ain’t talking about no Miss Ling Ling I’m talking about Miss Thing Thing from that picnic.’
Fans were delighted at Helen’s video as they laughed along with the star’s in the comments.
One fan wrote: ‘Seen two TikTok’s from Helen Flanagan and both are about her ex’, while another empathised: ‘we’ve all been there’.
Referencing back to her Coronation Street days another wrote: ‘This is deffo Rosie vibes. she had no filter!’
Other fans shared their hilarity while TV personality Vicky Pattison wrote ‘Dying’ with a laughing crying emoji.
