Helen Flanagan fights back tears as she reveals disaster with son Charlie and says she’s ‘bad at being alone’
HELEN Flanagan fought back tears as she opened up about suffering a car disaster with son Charlie.
The actress, 32, also shares daughters Matilda, seven, and Delilah, four, with ex Scott Sinclair.
Taking to her Instagram stories, former Coronation Street star Helen explained she’d suffered a flat tyre with Charlie, two, in the car, before telling fans she’s “bad at being alone”.
She said: “Right I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
“I broke down yesterday because I had a flat tyre. And then then I woke up this morning and totally forgot.
“I was thinking ‘let’s go to nursery, I’m going to go see my friend’. Then I was like ‘Helen, how could you forget that you broke down yesterday?’ So we’re just waiting for a taxi.”
Helen looked tearful in another post, telling followers: “I’m really bad at being on my own. Anyone else relate to this?
“I constantly have to have my friends with me or be with my kids. I can’t just sit there with me and my own thoughts.”
Helen is one of the stars taking part in I’m a Celebrity South Africa, which is set to kick off next week.
She took part in the pre-recorded series alongside famous faces including Carol Vorderman.
Last week The Sun revealed it was conversations with Carol, 61, that led Helen to make her mind about her relationship with Scott.
An insider told us: “Helen was at a crossroads in her relationship when she went into the jungle this time around.
“Carol became a kind of 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’ve got the kids and a huge history only time will tell if it’s over for good.”
