Helen Flanagan has expressed frustration over her co-parenting arrangement with her ex-partner, Scott Sinclair, which will keep her apart from her children during Christmas. Speaking at the Pride of Britain awards, Helen shared her disappointment at not having plans with her children for the festive season due to their long-distance co-parenting situation.
Living far apart from each other, Helen explained that co-parenting with Scott, who resides in Bath while she is in the north of Manchester, involves taking turns caring for their children. Despite her upcoming book on her life and relationships, Helen admitted she is dreading being without her children on Christmas Day, describing the experience as “unnatural.”
To keep herself occupied over the holiday season, Helen revealed she will be performing in a pantomime as the Evil Queen of Liverpool. On Christmas day itself, she plans to spend time with her immediate family, including her mother, father, brother, sister-in-law, and her nephew, emphasizing that she will have her children with her for New Year’s.
Helen and Scott, who were engaged and share two daughters and a son, ended their relationship in October. While sources confirmed their split, Helen had previously mentioned ending the relationship herself after numerous on-and-off phases. Despite not getting along with Scott, Helen acknowledged that they both care for each other but have decided to co-parent as amicably as possible for the sake of their children.
