Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan stunned in a festive look as she revealed she won’t be spending Christmas Day with her children and shared what’s been keeping her distracted
Helen Flanagan left fans in awe as she stepped out in a stunning Christmas outfit and shared a heartfelt family update on Christmas Eve.
The former Coronation Street star, 35, looked incredible as she marked the festive season while balancing a demanding pantomime schedule and opening up about spending Christmas Day apart from her children this year.
Currently appearing as the Evil Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Helen took to social media to speak honestly about how keeping busy with work has helped her through a challenging festive period. Despite the difficulties, the mum-of-three stressed that she was remaining upbeat and fully embracing her role.
“Happy Christmas Eve! I’ve got two shows on today and I’m honestly loving panto so much,” Helen said with a smile. “I really, truly enjoy it. Our final performance is on the 28th, and I’m having the best time playing the Evil Queen.”
The actress went on to explain that the festive period is a little different for her this year, as work commitments mean she won’t be spending Christmas Day with her children. Helen shares Matilda, Delilah and Charlie with her former fiancé Scott Sinclair, following their split in 2022.
“I’ve got two shows today, so I won’t have the kids with me this Christmas,” she added. “But this has been such a welcome distraction – I’m absolutely loving it.”
Despite the emotional revelation, Helen showed her strength, insisting she was moving forward and making the most of the situation.
“I’ve got my big girl pants on,” she said confidently. “I’ve had a lovely blow-dry this morning, so happy Christmas Eve.”
Fans were quick to praise Helen for her honesty and glamour, with many commending her for remaining strong and upbeat during a difficult time. Her festive look, combined with her radiant confidence, only fuelled the admiration as followers flooded her page with supportive comments.
In recent years, the actress has been juggling motherhood with a demanding work schedule, relying on the support of her family while continuing to rebuild her career in the public eye. Her pantomime role has clearly become more than just a job, providing a much-needed distraction during what has been an emotional Christmas period.
