Helen Flanagan has revealed the co-parenting 'compromise' she made with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair following their shock split.
The former Coronation Street actress, 32, shares three children with the professional footballer; Matilda, 7, Delilah, 4, and Charlie, 2. The pair split last July after being together for 13 years.
TheI’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Herestar has recently opened up about the toll her split from the Bristol Rovers winger, and revealed Scott had moved in with his mum as they try and figure out co-parenting.
The couple began dating in 2009, and the footballer popped the question while on holiday in Disneyland Paris in 2018.

While the former couple may not agree on everything when it comes to their eldest daughter wanting TikTok, the parents have come to an agreement together.
Instead of Helen and Scott allowing Matilda to create a TikTok account, they have decided to allow their eldest girl to start a YouTube account instead.
"My kids are always asking me, 'Oh, mummy can have a phone?' all the time and, 'Can have a phone'," Helen explained.

The mum-of-three continued: "But obviously I'm not ready for my children at eight years old to have social media. I was 24 when I had Matilda. I'm 32 now.
"My little girl's nearly eight. And obviously I'm an actress, but I also work in social media so that's all she knows, really.

Helen and Scott were together for 13 years before they called it quits (hjgflanagan/Instagram)"Me and her dad, we co-parent together and we said she could have her own YouTube channel. So we've kind of compromised on that. I need to start it though. She'll absolutely love it."
Helen and Scott planned on tying the knot in 2020, but after the pandemic cancelled their nuptials, they began to have second thoughts, and eventually had to tell the guests the wedding was off.
