Helen Flanagan Criticizes Ex Scott Sinclair Over 'Rubbish' Co-Parenting Ahead Christmas Without Children

Helen Flanagan, the Coronation Street actress, has expressed frustration about her co-parenting arrangement with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, describing it as "really rubbish" since they live far apart and she won't have her children this Christmas. Despite their separation in 2022, they continue to co-parent their two daughters and son by taking turns, but Helen finds it "unnatural" to be without her kids on the festive day. To keep busy, she will be performing as the Evil Queen in a pantomime production of Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena over the Christmas season. Helen will spend Christmas Day with her parents and family instead, but she will have the children for New Year's. She has also taken a swipe at Scott on social media, sharing memes that suggest tensions in their co-parenting relationship ahead of the release of her candid memoir in January 2026. Overall, Helen’s comments reveal the emotional challenges of co-parenting from different cities and balancing personal life with professional commitments.
