Helen Flanagan has taken to Instagram with a cryptic message after reportedly moving out of her ex-partner Scott Sinclair's home. The former Coronation Street star, known for playing Rosie Webster, shared an emotional update from Scotland, where she has taken her three children for a break.
A Fresh Start in Scotland
The 34-year-old actress posted a series of selfies with her children, Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, five, enjoying the scenic views of Loch Lomond. In the caption, she wrote: "No weapon used against me shall prosper. Love wins. I found this spot at Loch Lomond in lockdown and it's just special to me, I don't know why but I suppose we all take comfort in things and if it makes sense to us then that's enough and every time I go to Scotland I go there."
The post is widely seen as a veiled swipe at Scott, with whom she has a reportedly non-existent relationship. The former couple split in 2022 after 13 years together, but they continue to co-parent their children.
House Drama Unfolds
Earlier this year, it was claimed that Scott, a former Celtic footballer, was forcing Helen to leave the six-bedroom property in Belmont, near Bolton, which was in his name. The house was initially listed for £1.5 million but later reduced to £995,000. Helen was reportedly reluctant to move, as the home was close to her parents and the children's school.
A source told The Sun in January: "Scott pays for the house and all the bills, and he's decided a six-bedroom place is way too big for Helen on her own with the kids. Helen doesn't want to move and is digging her heels in. She loves the place, the kids are settled at the local school, and her mum and dad live around the corner."
It was also reported that Scott offered to buy Helen a four-bedroom home and put it in her name, but wanted to stop maintenance payments. However, Helen is said to have added value to the property.
Strained Relationship
Helen has been open about the difficulties in her relationship with Scott. In an interview with the Daily Mail in February, she said: "He's a d**khead, but I will always have love for him. I don't like him, I don't think we like each other. It has been hellish, very challenging. It has left me in a difficult place financially. I have bit my tongue for three and a half years. We have a very bad relationship; we only communicate through my father now."
Despite the tension, Helen is reportedly ready to move on and find love again. A source revealed: "Helen is definitely ready for love. She loves being with someone and wants to meet a new partner that she can really trust and depend on. She likes feeling like part of a team with someone, and she's determined that whoever she ends up with will be a guy who adores her three kids too, because they are her top priority."
