Helen Flanagan has opened up on her secret hardships following her devastating split from Scott Sinclair. The former Coronation Street actress had been in a relationship with footballer Scott for over a decade and they welcomed three children together. Following their split, Helen spiraled into a “very scary” psychotic episode while on her dream New Year’s break in Bali with their children Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three.
Helen has decided to share photos from the trip a year on as she admitted "what a difference a year can make". In the candid post, the TV star opened up on family fallouts, her mental health as well as financial woes. Helen shared: "This time last year: Christmas - I spent it in bed x i went to my mums for a few hours as my dad was calling me x.
"I said to Scott he could have the kids ( i live really north and he lives really south) because I wanted to take the kids to Bail for ten days for new year. So I knew I had to be fair. But it really hit me out of nowhere. I said to my friends before hand it’s just a day I’ll be fine. I had bad mental health.
"My love life was a s**t show that year…. I didn’t look after my my mental health or think. I felt so s**t and sad. I felt like my whole life was f***ed up now and I had the perfect family. 13 years is a long time to be with someone. My whole 20s. I had a lot of family fall outs too and I also lost basically all my money. Me and Scott weren’t married we were engaged.
"My mental health was so bad I thought maybe my kids would be better off without me and maybe they would be better off with their dad as he’s more level headed than me. I love my kids more than words can say but when you are not well you’re not well." Helen shared an update from this Christmas as she spent the day with her children at her parent's house.
