Former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan has publicly twisted the knife into her ex-fiancé, footballer Scott Sinclair, amid a bitter ongoing feud centred around their children's Christmas presents.
Glamorous Snaps Send a Clear Message
Helen Flanagan appears to be revelling in the single life, recently sharing a series of glamorous and revealing photos on Instagram. Dressed in white lingerie, the mother-of-three confidently showcased her figure, in a move widely interpreted as showing Scott Sinclair exactly what he is now missing.
These sizzling snaps follow closely on the heels of another very public clash between the former couple, who called time on their relationship back in 2022 after 13 years together.
'A Piece of S**t' and Nativity Play No-Show
The tension between the co-parents escalated dramatically earlier this week. Helen launched a scathing attack on her ex, labelling Sinclair "a piece of s**t" in a furious Instagram rant.
The outburst was reportedly triggered when Scott failed to attend their son Charlie's school nativity play. He had instead posted pictures from a weekend at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, which included views of the race and a sizeable yacht.
"You really are a piece of s*** @scotty_sinclair how dare you not turn up to Charlie's nativity," Helen fumed online, sharing a picture of herself with their son.
Christmas Gift Coordination Turns Sour
In a revealing new interview with Closer magazine, Helen Flanagan has now taken another swipe at Sinclair's parenting, specifically regarding coordinating Christmas gifts for their three children.
She admitted that while they have to discuss presents, she firmly takes control. "Oh, we have to discuss buying gifts for the kids," she explained. "It would really annoy me if we bought the same thing."
Helen then delivered her most cutting remark: "Anyway, I don't actually think Scott would go shopping for the kids, he's a man. He's totally useless, his mum probably does it. So I just tell him what I'm buying them and that's that."
These candid comments highlight the far-from-amicable dynamic between the exes. Scott Sinclair, who is notoriously private about their past relationship, has yet to respond publicly to this latest provocation.
A Rocky Road Since the 2022 Split
The pair's split, which came a year after they welcomed their third child and moved into a new house in Cheshire, has been fraught with difficulty. They have experienced several reconciliations before finally parting ways.
Speaking on Charlotte Dawson's podcast last year, Helen offered a poignant insight, stating: “I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don’t like each other. We don’t like each other at all."
Despite the obvious clashes, Helen has previously expressed her sadness about the breakup, telling The Sun: "Break-ups are so sad, and if you can deal with it in a way where you're on good terms, it's better for your mental health and 100% better for the kids."
However, with glamorous social media posts and pointed interviews continuing to fuel the fire, this co-parenting saga shows no sign of reaching a peaceful resolution anytime soon.
