Helen Flanagan teases potential Coronation Street return as she admits she ‘misses the excitement’ of working on the soap

Helen Flanagan hinted at a possible return to The Cobbles as she admitted she ‘misses the excitement’ of working on the soap.

The actress, 34, who is best known for her role as Rosie Webster in the ITV programme, quit the show in 2018 when she welcomed her third child with her ex-partner Scott Sinclair.

And now, speaking about her time on screen, she opened up The sun: ‘It was such an incredible experience and it really shaped me.’

‘I think I’ll always miss it a little bit, and I think it’s almost that excitement in your life, I’ve had that from such a young age that I don’t really know any different.

“So all I’ve known since I was a kid is to be an actress or be in the audience.”

The actress appeared on the soap for more than twenty years after being cast in her role as Rosie Webster at the age of ten.

The 34-year-old actress, who is best known for her role as Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, quit the show in 2018 when she welcomed her third child with her ex-partner Scott Sinclair.

Helen first appeared on screens as Rosie in 2000, stayed for twelve years before leaving and then made a comeback in 2017.

She then went on maternity leave in 2018, but has never reprized her role, although she has expressed her desire to do so several times.

In 2023, Helen told MailOnline: ‘Yes, totally. I mean, I’d love to go back to Coronation Street at some point.

‘I would really, really, really do it. But it’s just timing, you know, everything revolves around my kids.”

She added: “I really want Rosie to come back as a mother. I want to go back and cause some chaos.”

“All along I wanted to give Sally a hand with her grandchild and yes, I want her to come back.”

The admission comes just after Helen, who is now dating new boyfriend Robbie Talbot, 45, enjoyed a rare night out with the father of her children, Scott.

Helen and Scott, 35, split in 2022 after 13 years together, of which they were engaged for four. As well as Matilda, nine, they share Delilah, six, and Charlie, three.

It comes after Helen shared a string of beaming snaps after celebrating her 34th birthday with boyfriend Ronnie and her children.

Helen couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she was treated to a chic dinner at The Ivy Restaurant in Liverpool.

She looked beautiful in a soft pink silk blouse and black trousers and put on a very romantic show, sitting on the lap of ex-footballer Ronnie.

The Celebs Go Dating star’s children seemed equally at ease in the company of their mother’s new partner, while eldest daughter Delilah was seen hanging out with him.

At her birthday party, Helen donned a very leggy outfit in a dramatic ruffled dress with a provocative slit as she posed with Robbie on the dance floor.
