Helen Flanagan has hinted at a Coronation Street return 6 years after her exit.
The 34-year-old, who played Rosie Webster on the ITV soap, appeared on Loose Women on Thursday, alongside her former on-screen mum Sally Dynevor.
Helen took to the panel alongside Sally, Sue Cleaver, Denise Welch and Kaye Adams.
One question everyone wanted to know the answer to is if Helen would ever return to the Cobbles.
Helen said, “I’d love for Rosie to go back, it would be so funny if she was a mum and she just dumped the kids with Sally.”
“I think that would be really fun for Rosie to come back as a mum and cause some chaos!”
Her character Rosie is the daughter of Kevin, played by Michael Le Vell, and Sally, played by Sally Dynevor.
Helen first appeared on the soap in 2000, aged nine, when she took over the role from Emma Collinge.
She stayed on the show until 2012 and decided to pursue other projects.
Then, in February 2017, Helen reprised her role as Rosie but left a year later as part of maternity leave.
Just last month, Helen left fans wondering if she was going to return.
The mum-of-three posted a snap of her from Coronation Street.
She captioned the post: “Some iconic Rosie moments @coronationstreet”, adding a laughing face and heart emoji.

The 34-year-olds latest venture is Celebs Go Dating.
The star has joined the E4 show in a bid to find love again after her split from Scott Sinclair.
In March, the former Coronation Street star revealed that she was diagnosed with psychosis after “emotionally struggling” with her break-up with her ex-fiancé.

The actress was diagnosed after suffering a “bad reaction” to her ADHD medication.
Addressing her months-long absence from social media at the time, Helen wrote: “So basically I really struggled mental health wise December/ January.”
“I felt really not great in my head over Christmas and I didn’t really feel that much different when I took the kids away for new year… I had a lot of difficult things going on things I just can’t talk about on Instagram.”
“I felt terrible, so I was due my theatre tour which I was excited about so when I came back from holiday I thought it was best for me to take some medication so I’d feel better and be able to cope better with being a working single mum of three and I was emotionally struggling with the break up from the father of my kids…”
“But I had a really bad reaction though to the medication (an ADHD medication) and it sent me into a psychosis for a few days which I didn’t know I was in.”
Helen also addressed pulling out of her role in Cluedo: The Stage Play, writing: “This bad reaction though was a few days before rehearsals were starting and sadly I just wasn’t mentally well enough to do it.”
“I was heartbroken as I’ve always been professional as an actress but I needed to stay at home and feel better for me and my kids, with the help of my amazing parents.
“I’ve always been honest on here and I feel in a really good happy place now. Therapy can be amazing and I feel like I’ve worked on myself with things that were quite tough to me but I feel lighter now 🦋✨ anyway sending love and please be kind 💗💗💗.”
