Helen Flanagan is reportedly facing financial difficulties and is keen to relaunch her acting career, a source tells new Helen Flanagan has never been one to hide her love of the finer things in life, famously admitting during her first stint on I'm A Celebrity in 2012 that she splashed out on spray tans and blow dries “every few days”, without a second thought. But now, it seems the former Coronation Street star's world has changed dramatically since those carefree days more than a decade ago.

The actress, 34, has found herself at a crossroads in both her personal and professional life, and now she wants nothing more than to be back on screen, a source tells new. Helen first catapulted to fame as Rosie Webster on Corrie in 2000. After leaving in 2012, she then reappeared in 2017, reprising her role for another year.

“Helen really, really wants to get back into acting. She knows it's what she does best,” a source claims. “But it is tough with the kids being so young, and Scott is often away with football, so though he’s a committed dad, he’s not around on a daily basis. It's a lot, having three young children and trying to get back into your career.”

While there have been conversations about a potential comeback, Helen is said to be struggling to juggle work offers with the demands of being a single mum to her three children, Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, four, following her split from fiancé Scott Sinclair in 2022.
