‘2. Spending the day with children The Scottish nanny I adore would have been lost without her when Scott used to have games here. x I miss her calling me “Them”.
‘3. When I lived in Scotland, I never thought I would be a boy mother, just as I was a real girl mother.
‘4. Girls 5. Kelvingrove so beautiful 6. Me and Libby. We used to go to baby class together, but I was always late, so we just went to Starbucks.
‘7. One of my favorite hotels ever 8. My little Scottish baby love of my life. 9. Half an hour of rest in the spa 10. My sweet spider-man football crazy boy’
The trip comes after Kerry Katona stood up for Helen, who has been shamed multiple times by her mother in the days after she opened up about her psychosis battle.
Kerry, 43, spoke about the difficulties of motherhood and praised Helen for seeking the professional help she needed and opened up for the first time about her own struggles with psychosis.
In her weekly news! magazine column, Kerry wrote: ‘Helen Flanagan has spoken out openly about falling into psychosis after a reaction to the medication she was taking when she split from Scott Sinclair.
‘It’s good that she’s so open. It’s so hard to be a mother. Say what you will about ‘D-listers’ like me, but we get it from all angles and constantly have to balance criticism with parenting and relationships. Having children is the hardest job in the world.
‘I have five and worry about them all all the time. The fact that Helen went to get some medicine is also good. When I split up with my first husband, I self-medicated and it sent me into psychosis, so she’s doing better than me.”
