Helen Flanagan channeled Bridget Jones in a hilarious clip on Saturday, revealing that she wants a ‘sensible’ boyfriend after her split from footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair.
The 32-year-old former Coronation Street actress, who split from Scott in October last year after a 13-year romance, lip-synced audio from the cult film in a video posted to her TikTok, while clutching a pen and a notepad from Hedwig.
The lines, made famous by Hollywood star Renée Zellweger, read: “I will find a good sensible boyfriend to date and will not continue to form romantic ties with any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, commitment phobes, meglomaniacs, emotional sex.” ** witty or perverted.
‘And especially not to fantasize about a particular person who embodies all of these things.’

The clip seemed to hint that the actress, mother to Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, 17 months, is ready to start dating again.
Helen kept things casual for the video, with no makeup and her blonde hair down.
The actress later revealed that she was on the mend after getting a breast lift in another video posted to her Instagram Story on Sunday.

The former Coronation Street star, 32, admitted she was “really nervous” to share the news, but felt she needed the surgery as her breasts “got really saggy.”
While still recovering, Helen, who split from footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair in October, said she underwent surgery in a bid to “feel more confident”.
She also explained how her decision had been influenced by a reduction in her bust from an E cup to ‘not filling out a B cup bra’ caused by breastfeeding her three children.
While refraining from showing the results, the newly single star said in the vlog: ‘Hello, I wanted to appear here. I’m actually very nervous to share this, but I did have a boob job.
I did it on Thursday. Yeah, so I’m in recovery right now. I’ve been really nervous about sharing this, because you always get some not-so-nice comments or whatever.
“But yeah, it’s something I did for myself, I really wanted to do it for my confidence.” I’ve been so nervous about sharing this. I’m obviously very pro-body-confident, and very much for other women, but supporting women in whatever choices they decide to make.’

It comes after it was revealed last year that Helen reportedly split from Scott because her engagement ring broke and she felt it was a bad omen.
The actress and the soccer player broke their courtship and the news was released last October.
A source claimed that when Helen’s ring broke, she sought guidance from a psychic medium as she believed the incident was a “sign”.
The source told the Sun: ‘Helen’s engagement ring broke earlier this year. She is interested in all things spiritual and had a feeling, so she sought guidance from a psychic medium.
“Helen and Scott really tried to work on their relationship, but eventually she saw that the breaking of the ring was a bad omen and that it meant she shouldn’t get married.”

She shared a cryptic post in August of last year about the start of ‘a new chapter’ where she was photographed without wearing her engagement ring for the first time.
Concern had been raised over Helen’s relationship with Bristol Rovers footballer Scott after it was claimed the relationship was “on the rocks”.
And she seemed to reference new beginnings on her Instagram page, where she shared photos of herself with her kids celebrating her birthday, but with no ring in sight.
On August 9 of last year, Helen captioned the post to her million followers: “Lovely weekend celebrating my 32nd birthday and a new chapter.”

Now, although she is “not open” to the idea of them getting back together, Helen wants to have a harmonious relationship, it has been claimed.
An informant said Sun Before Christmas: “Scott is a professional footballer so he often won’t be around on Christmas Day due to his match schedule, however Helen and Scott are planning something special for the kids.”
The source continued: “Helen is not willing to talk about reconciliation and just wants them to focus on co-parenting.”
Complicated: Although she is not “open” to the idea of them getting back together, Helen wants to have a harmonious relationship, it has been stated.
