Helen Flanagan’s ex Scott Sinclair rules out rumoured reconciliation – as he strips off topless and joins dating app
HELEN Flanagan’s ex Scott Sinclair has ruled out any chance of a reconciliation – by joining a celeb-favourite dating app.
Scott, 35, strips off topless to reveal his ripped physique while attempting to woo admirers on Raya.
In exclusive images shared with The Sun, the footballer poses without his shirt no less than twice in the hope to find a new lady.
He’s also seen grinning inside a swanky restaurant and shooting a serious expression for a selfie on the profile.
The Bristol Rovers player lists Free Mind by Tems as his favourite track, writing in his description, “Visiting Manchester from Mayfair.”
Raya is an exclusive dating app that is used by many celebrities, influencers and socialites.
Pete Davidson, Cara Delevingne, Demi Lovato, Niall Horan and Lewis Hamilton are just some of the names to have signed up in the past – putting Scott in good company.
While Helen doesn’t appear to be on it, some of her Instagram followers recently became convinced she’d signed up for First Dates.
The actress, 33, enjoyed a free stay at The Municipal Hotel in Liverpool, taking to the platform to share a snap at the bar.
Some of her fans missed that she’d tagged the swanky hostpot, mistaking it for The Botanist Bar and Restaurant in Bath – which is where the Channel 4 show is filmed.
The mum-of-three had taken a break from social media in the past few months following her shock pyschosis diagnosis.
Last week, Helen bravely opened up about her ordeal after struggling with the breakdown of her relationship with Scott.
Helen, who split from Scott in July 2022, told how a bad reaction to ADHD medication triggered temporary psychosis.
She said: “Basically I really struggled mental health wise December/January.
“I felt really not great in my head over Christmas and I didn’t really feel that much different when I took the kids away for new year.
“I had a lot of difficult things going on things I just can’t talk about on Instagram. I felt terrible.
“I was due on my theatre tour which I was excited about so when I came back from holiday I thought it was best for me to take some medication so I’d feel better and be able to cope better with being a working single mum of three and I was emotionally struggling with the break up from the father of my kids but I had a really bad reaction though to the medication ( an ADHD medication) and it sent me into a psychosis for a few days which I didn’t know I was in.
“I just love my kids so much.”
The soap star was due to star in play Cluedo 2, but pulled out due to medical reasons.
She was replaced by Corrie and Strictly legend Ellie Leach.
Helen continued: “This bad reaction though was a few days before rehearsals were starting and sadly I just wasn’t mentally well enough to do it.
“I was heartbroken as I’ve always been professional as an actress but i needed to stay at home and feel better for me and my kids, with the help of my amazing parents.
“I’ve always been honest on here and I feel in a really good happy place now.
“Therapy can be amazing and I feel like I’ve worked on myself with things that were quite tough to me but I feel lighter now. Anyway sending love and please be kind.”
Helen and Scott started dating in 2009.
The former couple share three kids together – Matilda, eight, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two.
Scott’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
