HELEN Flanagan has revealed her Christmas plans after spending last year alone - and why her kids can't 'split the day' with her ex husband Scott Sinclair. Corrie legend Helen, 34, who shares Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three with the footballer, 35, explained it's not possible for them to share parenting duties as they live in different cities.

Instead, the former couple alternate each year to ensure their children enjoy quality celebrations with both parents. Speaking of her upcoming plans, she told Which Bingo: “It’s my turn with the kids this year because he had them last year.". Helen went on to explain that while splitting Christmas Day isn’t an option for them, they ensure the holiday is still special.

She said: “We can’t do half and half because he’s in Bath and I’m in Manchester, so it’s hard to have those split Christmas days. "We take turns. I think it’s important to be fair when it comes to who gets the children over Christmas.”. She added that Christmas celebrations last throughout November and December, so her kids can enjoy quality time with both parents.

Helen said: “I don’t think it has to be honed in on one day. We celebrate all through November and December to make sure it’s special for them and they get time with both of us.". While spending the festive period with her children, Helen will also enjoy the holiday with her boyfriend Robbie Talbot, 45, who moved in with her in September.
