Helen Flanagan has admitted she has a “difficult relationship” with her ex Scott Sinclair.
In March, the former Coronation Street star revealed that she was diagnosed with psychosis after “emotionally struggling” with her break-up from her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair.
The actress, 33, was diagnosed after suffering a “bad reaction” to her ADHD medication.
Helen shares children, Matilda, 7, Delilah, 5, and Charlie, 2, with the professional footballer.
The couple split up in October 2022 after a 13-year relationship.
In a candid Instagram post, Helen revealed she was in tears over the weekend.
The actress revealed her relationship with her former fiancé has been “extremely emotionally draining while co-parenting.”
Sharing a sweet video of her daughter Matilda listening to a harpist on their day out, she penned: “Matilda and I had a girls day on Saturday. Matilda wanted to go to the beauty and the beast afternoon tea @waldorfhilton and it was so lovely x”
“I’m so proud of the beautiful girl Matilda is and how lovely and kind and fun she is and how well she adapts to change x I felt really emotional that day, a lot of personal things going on and it can be extremely emotionally draining co-parenting when you have a difficult relationship x”

“I couldn’t book online for some reason and Matilda really wanted to go, I had bad mum guilt as I’m up and down from London for work at the moment and I wanted Matilda to feel loved and special.”
“There was no tables available though and the couple behind me were so kind they could see how much my little girl wanted to go and they gave us their table ❤️x”
“If you see this thank you my little girl was made up xxx I left my phone to try and be more present and lots of chats and cuddles and her beautiful little face.”
“So grateful for Matilda, mummy got a bit teary but they were happy tears x I had therapy at the beginning of the year and I felt like I was able to come back to my natural self and not suppress my emotions and I let myself cry now x.”
“I felt a little bit lost before I had Matilda, when I had my baby girl it gave me a feeling of purpose and inspiration x”
“Whenever I’m stuck in a situation and don’t know what to do, I think what would I want my daughter to do and I do that.”
