Helen Flanagan has publicly called out her ex, Scott Sinclair, after he allegedly failed to attend their son’s school nativity play, choosing instead to party at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The former Coronation Street actress took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday (December 16) to blast the Bristol Rovers footballer after he shared a series of photos from his lavish trip abroad.

Sinclair captioned his original post: “What a weekend – Abu Dhabi F1. Happy days, blurry nights…”
Meanwhile, Helen shared a touching photo of herself and four-year-old Charlie cuddling after the school event, writing: “Loved Charlie’s nativity. My star, my heartbeat.” She also shared a throwback of the pair, captioning it: “Best boy.”

Helen’s outburst comes as she prepares to relaunch her public image with several high-profile projects. The actress recently filmed Celebrity Ex On The Beach and is said to be ready to “cause fireworks”.
A source alleged to The Sun: “Helen is sexy, feisty and won’t hold back. This is a big show for her because it’s opening her up to a whole new audience.”
The former I’m A Celebrity star also recently appeared on Celebs Go Dating, and insiders claim she’s determined to embrace single life on her own terms.
‘I’ve had to rebuild from rock bottom’
This isn’t the first time Helen has taken aim at her ex.
In a recent social media clip, she shared a video of someone jumping into the sea alongside the caption: “Get back with the father of your kids or drown.”
The soap star is also gearing up to release her first autobiography, Head & Heart: Break-ups, Breakdowns and Being Rosie, due out January 29.
Promising to share her story with “no airbrushing”, Helen told The Mirror: “I’ve made mistakes, I’ve been hurt, and I’ve had to rebuild from rock bottom. Telling my truth meant no hiding. No glossing over or airbrushing.”
She added that she spent years “in survival mode” and didn’t properly process her emotions during her relationship.
“I’ve learned, grown, and come out the other side a better, stronger person.”
