Helen Flanagan reveals ex-fiancé has blocked her despite sharing custody of three kids

Helen Flanagan has opened up about her strained relationship with the father of her three kids, Scott Sinclair, who she split up from in 2022 after a 13-year relationship

Helen Flanagan has revealed the dad of her three kids has blocked her on his phone.

The Coronation Street star, 34, and footballer, Scott Sinclair, 35, were together for 13 years before they decided to call it quits. The former couple co-parent Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, however, Helen has admitted they don't speak to each other, claiming: "I'm on block at the moment on Scott's phone".

Lifting the lid on their strained relationship, she told the Life of Bryony podcast: "No disrespect to the father of my children, you know, I've had three children with him, and I always have a lot of love for him. We're both good people, but together we were very toxic. I mean, I'm on block at the moment on Scott's phone. I really am. I'm on block.

"We do each other's f*****g head in. But I know he always will have a love for me, you know, you always have kind of a respect for each other, I know he's not a bad guy, we've just got our own s**t going on."

Scott and Helen were just 19 when they met when the footballer was playing for Swansea City. Claiming they "didn't have time to grow" in their relationship, Helen said: "I think because we're together from so young, we were just 19, and I just don't think we had that time to grow, until we've split up, we just didn't work."

A month ago the Coronation Street star rocked up on Celebs Go Dating in an apparent bid to find love. However, the actress was slammed by the show's experts and viewers when she confessed that she already had a secret boyfriend, Robbie Talbot. The construction firm boss, 44, has been living in Helen's home since last month, eight months since the pair began dating.

After keeping her fledgling romance a secret to begin with, Helen told the Mirror at the Pride of Britain Awards: “I’ve never met anyone like him. He’s not only a lovely man, but he’s really, really funny. And he had the balls to chat me up! Usually I don’t get that, but he has so much confidence. And he really takes care of me.”

The pair met by chance in February at a restaurant, just weeks before the mum-of-three signed a contract for the E4 dating show. Despite undeniable chemistry with Robbie, a former footballer who owns a construction business, Helen went ahead with the series – even kissing other men.

She said her aim was to be “lighthearted” in the series, and not feel guilty about seeing other people. She explained: “We were dating, but it was early days and I wanted to do the show. I love the show. I told Robbie I was doing it and he said it was fine.”
