Helen Flanagan reveals heartbreaking reason she’s spending Christmas without her children for the first time
HELEN Flanagan has revealed she’ll spend Christmas without her three children for the first time.
The former Coronation Street star, 33, shares Matilda, seven, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two, with her footballer ex Scott Sinclair, 34, but the distance between their homes makes co-parenting tricky.
In a new interview with Closer, Helen said the children will spend December 25th with Scott and their nanna in Bath – 190 miles from her home in Bolton.
She said: “My children really miss their daddy and they’re very close to their nanna, so they’re going to spend Christmas with them. I won’t have them for about four days.
“It will actually be the first Christmas that I don’t have my children.”
However, Helen still has festive fun ahead as she will be taking the children, and her friends, to Bali to ring in the New Year.
The exotic getaway will give Helen the chance to reflect on her recent connection with boxer David Haye.
Last week Helen shared a cryptic quote about “falling in love” after it was revealed she’d been on dates with former Heavyweight champ, who is in a relationship with Sian Osborne.
Two months ago, her daughter Matilda accidentally let slip that her mum was seeing someone.
A source said: “Helen told friends she’s been on dates with David.
“She’s met Sian before and is aware of reports of their throuple set-up but is obviously not involved.”
Sources say Helen, 33, met up for dinner boxer David — who had been in a ‘throuple’ relationship with girlfriend Sian and pop star Una Healy.
It is understood that Helen and David, 43, went on dates alone.
The pair became friends when they appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2012, but recently matched on dating app Raya.
