Helen Flanagan opens up about ‘manic mum life’

Helen Flanagan opened up about ‘manic mum life’ on Friday as she admitted she had been too busy to start potty training one of her children.

Taking to Instagram while holding him, she said: ‘I was supposed to be doing potty training and I have not managed to do it because everything’s been so manic.’

Helen, who also has Matilda, eight, and Delilah, five, revealed she’s hoping to start potty training him soon.

She then said that she had managed to get a lie in until 9.30 because her mother took her daughter Matilda to school.

When Charlie woke up at 10am, chaos ensued as she soon had to clear up an accident he had and put him in the bath but she then said: ‘You’re so cute baby aren’t you? So cute.’

Chaos: Later in the day, she revealed that Delilah was sitting with her on her bed and wrote: ‘Delilah follows me around the house the whole time’

Later in the day, she revealed that Delilah was sitting with her on her bed and wrote: ‘Delilah follows me around the house the whole time.’

It comes after Helen hinted her dating life is going well, after joining dating site Raya following her split from fiancé Scott Sinclair.

After she was asked if she would meet someone new, Helen told OK!: ‘I wouldn’t want to say if I’ve been on any dates. Maybe next time! It’s nice to have some fun.’

Despite posting a picture of herself which looked like she was wearing her diamond engagement ring on Instagram recently, Helen has said the pair will never rekindle their 13 year romance.

The Coronation Street star, 32, has been plagued with rumors of reconciliation after she was spotted on holiday with the footballer, 34, and their three children, Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, two, however she insists all is not as it seems.

Helen explained that the couple split in July and their separate Dubai holidays matched up, so they had a family day, adding that there is no chance of a reunion but she stated: ‘I just hope we can be good friends and co-parent. ‘

She caused further confusion when she appeared to be seen sporting the dazzling ring Scott gifted her in 2018 – nine years into their romance – however Helen insisted this was merely an oversight – and vowed to keep the ring for her daughters.

As well as detailing her former love, Helen also confirmed that she had joined exclusive dating app Raya, yet refused to reveal if she had been on dates.

Earlier this month, Helen’s trip to Dubai was thrown under scrutiny when she was seen with Scott and wearing her ‘engagement ring’ – causing mass confusion.

Clearing up the rumours, she explained: ‘We actually broke up in July… Scott was there on a break from training, so we spent a day together with the kids. That was it.’

On the ring issue, she revealed the ring she was wearing was not her engagement ring – although she does not intend to return the dazzler: ‘That’s so typical of me – I didn’t even think about wearing a ring on that finger!’

Speaking about returning the ring, she said: ‘My ring’s my ring, it’s for my girls.’
