Former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan has shared the deeply personal reasons behind her decision to sell her £1 million family home. The 33-year-old star, best known for her role as Rosie Webster on the ITV soap, revealed that the move was driven by emotional challenges and a desire for a fresh start.
In a candid interview, Flanagan explained that the property held too many painful memories following her split from footballer Scott Sinclair, the father of her three children. "It was a beautiful home, but it just didn’t feel right anymore," she admitted. "I needed a change for my mental wellbeing and my kids."
The spacious five-bedroom house in Blackburn, Lancashire, was put on the market earlier this year and has since been sold. Flanagan, who has been open about her struggles with anxiety, emphasised the importance of prioritising her family’s happiness. "Sometimes you have to let go of the past to make room for new beginnings," she added.
Fans have rallied around the actress, praising her bravery in speaking out about such a personal ordeal. Many have taken to social media to express their support, with one writing: "You’re an inspiration, Helen. Your strength is incredible."
Flanagan, who recently returned to acting after a hiatus, is now focusing on her career and raising her children in a new home. "Life is about growth," she said. "This is just the next chapter for us."
