Helen Flanagan reveals she’s refusing to SPEAK to ex Scott Sinclair & shock moment she saw him on dating app after split
HELEN Flanagan has revealed that she is barely speaking to her ex Scott Sinclair amid their split.
The Coronation Street actress confirmed that their separation had been “messy” before admitting they are not on speaking terms in a new interview.
Helen and Scott confirmed they had parted ways two years ago after a 13-year romance and three children with one another.
However, two years down the line, it seems that things are in a less than ideal state for the pair after she admitted they barely speak to one another.
In a new interview with the Mail Online, she confessed that they mostly communicate through their parents in a bid to avoid having to speak to one another.
Admitting she knew that it was immature, Helen told the publication: “I know it’s not very mature, and I really do hope it sorts itself out but what we don’t do is argue in front of the children, so we make sure they don’t see any drama.
“I’d never speak badly about their father in front of them, it’s about the kids and them being happy.”
Helen instead enjoys a close bond with Scott’s mum which has been beneficial for them.
She even admitted to bitching about Scott to his own mum during periods where she needs to offload.
The star said: “It’s funny sometimes, because I’ll ring her and forget that he’s her son, because I’ll have a bitch about him.
“But I get on really well with her, and she’s a great nana to the kids.”
Although Helen and Scott barely speak to one another, she did confess that one of the few times they have found time to have a giggle with one another was when she came across her ex on a dating app.
She revealed that the exes “had a giggle” when Helen told him that she had stumbled upon his profile after setting up her own account to find potential suitors.
Elsewhere, Helen said it was “hilarious” when she was first confronted by plenty of men when she signed up to look for love on an app.
She added to the Mail: “I found the whole thing hilarious because obviously I’d never dated before and seeing all these men on this app made me laugh so much.”
Helen created her profile alongside her Nan and was forced to use a snap of herself pregnant to interest potential love interests after being unhappy with any other pictures of herself.
The Celebs Go Dating beauty said through laughter: “The only picture I could find that I liked of myself was when I was pregnant, so we just zoomed in on my face and we couldn’t stop laughing.”
