With an exciting new romance, a busy career and three adorable children, Helen Flanagan has plenty to be grateful for this upcoming festive season. And when she catches up with new for a chat at the opening of Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland, the 34-year-old is certainly in the Christmas spirit.
“I am so looking forward to Christmas,” beams Helen, who is accompanied on the red carpet by her eldest daughter, Matilda. The former Coronation Street actress shares nine-year-old Matilda, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, with her former fiancé, Bristol Rovers footballer Scott Sinclair, and says the pair will be co-parenting over the festive period.
“I’ve got the kids this Christmas and we’re going to my mum’s. We take turns, so you’re with Mummy and Grandma this year, aren’t you?” she says, turning to Matilda. “And then you’re with Daddy for New Year, so [Scott will] have them then.”
“We don’t really have any family traditions that we do, every Christmas has been quite different for the kids. Especially because of their dad’s football, it can be busy around this time of year,” says Helen.
