Helen Flanagan has reportedly made the final decision not to reconcile with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, after seeking advice from single-loving Carol Vorderman.
The former Coronation Street star, 32, sparked speculation of a reunion when she put her ‘engagement ring’ back on for a recent Instagram post.
But it is only said that she is putting up a united front with the footballer, 34, for the sake of their children, with no plans to rekindle their romance.
According to allegations, Helen was led by her I’m A Celebrity South Africa co-star Carol, 62, who has been open about her own five ‘special friends’ in the past.
A source told The sun: “Helen was at a crossroads in her relationship when she ventured into the jungle this time.

Oh La La! According to allegations, Helen was managed by her I’m A Celebrity South Africa co-star Carol, 62, who has been open about her own five ‘special friends’ in the past
Carol became something of a mother figure to the other campmates, and Helen found herself opening up to her.
“She told Helen to follow her heart and put her children first. She advised that staying with someone just for the kids never works out. Of course they have the kids and a huge history, only time will tell if it’s over for good.’
MailOnline has reached out to Helen and Carol’s representatives for comment.
Helen enjoyed a trip to Dubai over Easter, where she stayed at Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort with her children, Matilda, age seven, Delilah, age four, and Charlie, age two.
She split with Scott six months ago after 13 years and three kids together.
Despite this, the actress and sportsman were spotted by fellow vacationers.
Bystanders said the pair “still seem close” and look like “a very happy family unit.”
The pair were rumored to have reconciled and Helen made quite the statement when she donned the starlet back on for an Instagram post while wearing a Barbie pink sparkly jumpsuit.

Helen couldn’t resist once again showing off her surgically enhanced assets in a busty teal bikini on Tuesday night.
She recently opted for a breast augmentation in an attempt to “regain her confidence” after having three children.
During her escape to the UAE, Helen flaunted her figure in a slew of sizzling snaps.
And posting to her Instagram Story on Tuesday night, Helen turned up the heat once more by posing in a teal two-piece for a Moda Minx swimsuit shoot.
The mother-of-three looked sensational in the skimpy bikini, which was detailed with gold buckles and tied at the waist.
The small number showed off her ample cleavage and showed off her toned stomach, as well as a tan from her recent travels.
Meanwhile, her light blonde locks were styled with a beach wave as she posed in the sun.
In January, Helen said her decision to have a breast augmentation was influenced by a reduction of her breasts from an E cup to “not filling a B cup bra” as a result of breastfeeding.
She said in a vlog, “Hello, so I just wanted to drop by. I’m actually really nervous to share this, but I’ve had a breast augmentation.

“I had it done on Thursday. Yes, so I am currently recovering. I was really nervous sharing this because you always get some not very nice comments or whatever.
“But yeah, it’s just something I did for myself, I really wanted to do it for my confidence.” I’ve been very nervous about sharing this.
“Of course I’m very much for body confidence, and very much for supporting other women, but supporting women in whatever choices they decide to make.
She continued, “I think if something really bothers you then I think, you know, it’s good to do something about it.
“I’m on day two of recovery, I’ve literally… my boyfriend just helped me wash and dry my hair because you can’t really… you can’t, you can’t shower properly, you have to keep wounds dry, I’m wearing a support bra like that, and you can’t get it wet.
“So these Stories are probably going to be pretty long, so you might want to make yourself comfortable, but I’m just going to talk about the whole thing.”
Helen confessed that she decided to have the surgery after becoming a mother to Delilah, but waited until she welcomed Charlie as she wanted to have another baby.
