Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan took to Instagram to share a video of her three children running around a hotel before they caught a “15 hour” flight to Bali for New Year

Helen Flanagan, the former Coronation Street actress, has shared that she’s “happy again” as she embarks on a New Year holiday with her three children.

The former soap star, 33, posted a video of her kids playing in a hotel before their long flight, captioning it: “Happy again”. The star is heading to Bali with her children Matilda, eight, Delilah, five and Charlie, two, after not seeing them on Christmas Day. Helen shares her kids with ex-fiance Scott Sinclair, who she split from last year after 13 years together.

Previously, Helen discussed her Christmas plans on Lorraine, saying: “My kids just love their daddy so much and they are going to him for Christmas for four days. Scott is working in Bristol and he plays football. Then I’m going to go to Bali for 10 days with them for New Year.”

This was the first Christmas Helen spent without her kids, and she admitted on Instagram that it felt ‘weird’. Sharing a series of photos from her Christmas, Helen said it was strange not having her children with her, but promised to be “festive” next year.

In a beautiful photo, Helen looked remarkable in her red satin dress. The caption hinted at an eventful night out: “Dolling myself up for a night out but probs drank too much (never helps when you feel rubbish).”

Her fans and mates quickly praised her, saying: “You’re Really Beautiful Helen” and adding “Gorgeous girl, you are amazing”. Despite their split last year, Helen and Scott spent Christmas together with their children.

The pair seem to be on good terms, but Helen clarified to OK! magazine earlier this year that there’s no chance of them getting back together. She said to OK!: “I just hope we can be good friends and co-parent.” Speaking on Lorraine, the telly star confessed that being a co-parent is a “journey”.
