Helen Flanagan reveals she and kids were in car crash in her £70k Audi which ‘took off the whole bonnet’
HELEN Flanagan has revealed she and her kids were involved in a shock car crash in her £70k Audi.
Former Coronation Street star Helen, 33, showed off her flash new motor earlier this year.
But today she told fans she’s been left without a car after the unexpected accident while pumpkin picking with her three children Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, two.
In a clip posted on Instagram, Helen explained she had to send her dad to pick the children up from her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair.
She said: “My dad’s just gone to get the children. I couldn’t go, I couldn’t drive… it wasn’t a big deal but I crashed my car.
“The kids were fine, I was fine but I was pumpkin picking and all I did was reverse into a piece of wood because I can’t park to save my life.
“I just thought I’d scratched my car but I’ve taken the whole of my bonnet off. Wow… and my car’s new.”
Helen also opened up about struggling to cope with being separated from the kids as they spent time with their dad.
She said: “I get my kids back today so I’m excited about that, they’ve been away for half term.
“I do really miss them when they’re away. I always feel really weird.”
But it seems she’ll have someone else to occupy her free time soon after it was revealed she’s dating again after her shock split from Scott last year.
Helen and her eldest took to TikTok recently, where Matilda said: “My mum’s going on a date with someone tomorrow and I think she said he’s very hot.”
Looking red-faced, Helen asked: “Do you like the look of him? I think he looks quite nice.”
Matilda replied: “But you think he’s really hot.”
Helen responded: “Yeah I know but Matilda I’m a bit nervous actually because I don’t know him.”
