‘I'M SO LUCKY TO BE PREGNANT AGAIN'

HELEN FLANAGAN TELLS OK! ABOUT EXPECTING HER THIRD BABY COPING WITH HYPEREMESIS AND PLANNING HER BIG DAY

- GEMMA MCCARTNEY

Aside from preparing for the arrival of her third baby, former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan is dreaming of a wedding day with her fiancé, footballer Scott Sinclair.

The couple got engaged in 2018 at Disneyland Paris and the 30-year-old tells us in our exclusive chat she’s hoping to marry her beau, 31, as soon as current coronavirus restrictions ease.

Her pregnancy has not been plain sailing so far, as she was recently hospitalised with hyperemesis (chronic sickness usually endured in the first trimester). The actress, who also suffered severe sickness in her previous pregnancies, reveals she’s “over the worst of it” now and is “dead excited” to add to her brood in March.

Here, Helen reveals how her girls – Matilda, five, and two-year-old Delilah will cope with another sibling, whether she’d like to have more children and if an abroad wedding is on the cards for her and Scott...

We’re sorry to hear you’ve been poorly again this pregnancy...

I’m just glad that I’m over the worst of it and I can enjoy my pregnancy now. I’m really excited I’m going to have my third baby – you have to take the positives from it.

Did you have good support while you were suffering?

Scott was amazing and really supportive and my mum has been great, so I’ve been really fortunate.

Is Scott excited?

Yeah, he’s really excited. He’s lovely though, Scott. He’s really laid back, so as long as I’m happy, he’s happy.

Will Matilda and Delilah cope well with another sibling?
