Helen Flanagan's eldest child 'embarrassed' to see star on TV
Helen Flanagan has Matilda, Delilah and Charlie with her ex-fiance, Scott Sinclair.
Helen Flanagan's eldest child gets "embarrassed" watching her mum on TV.
The Coronation Street alum has daughters Matilda, 10, and Delilah, seven, as well as five-year-old son, Charlie, with her 37-year-old ex-fiance, footballer Scott Sinclair, and they cannot help but bust into fits of laughter when Helen pops up on screen.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz on behalf of Paddy Power Games: "My children love seeing me on TV. My five-year-old will say, 'That’s mummy.'
"I’ve watched bits of TV with them, and they find it hilarious, though my eldest does get embarrassed. It’s quite funny because at home I get outvoted on what we watch."
Helen has starred on Channel 4's Celebs Go Dating and more recently, Paramount+'s Celebrity Ex on the Beach, since she bid farewell to her Coronation Street alter ego Rosie Webster in 2018 after 18 years on and off.
And the 35-year-old star wants them to get involved in everything she does - particulary when it comes to performing in pantomimes.
Helen said: "I like them to see what I’m doing because I’m often away working, so I try to involve them where I can, like bringing my eldest along when I was doing panto.
"Everything I do is for them, so I want them to feel part of it."
After she called off her and Scott's engagement in October 2022, Helen dated former boxer David Haye, 45, which ended in December 2023 after six months, and ex-football player Robbie Talbot, 46, whom she split from in May 2025 after a one-year romance.
Helen is one of nine famous singletons who are appearing in Celebrity Ex on the Beach, which sees them jet out to Tenerife to meet potential lovers, only to also come face-to-face with their former partners.
But Helen will need to know that a lover is her Mr. Right before she introduces him to Matilda, Delilah, and Charlie.
The blonde beauty exclusively told BANG Showbiz at the Celebrity Ex on the Beach series four launch event in London on March 26: "My children are really precious. I wouldn't let anyone meet my children. They're too special."
Helen is joined on Celebrity Ex on the Beach by Jedward's John Grimes, 34, The Only Way is Essex cast member Dani Imbert, 27, Love Island alums Curtis Pritchard, 30, and Toby Aromolaran, 27, Married at First Sight UK star Amy Kenyon, 29, The Challenge alum Izzy Fairthorne, 26, Love Is Blind UK's Freddie Powell, 34, and Too Hot to Handle star Chase DeMoor, 29.
