Helen Flagangan calls daughter 'love of my life' on first Christmas since fiancé split

Helen Flanagan has called her daughter the ‘love of my life’ as they joined forces for some paid Instagram work on Christmas Eve.

Taking to her Instagram story on Friday night, the pair sported adorable matching pyjamas from Boux Avenue and a red pout as they snapped up a storm.

The newly single actor, 32, enjoyed some precious time with her eldest daughter Matilda as they prepared for Santa to arrive by wearing their festive PJs.

The mother-daughter duo explored some makeup looks in a short clip which she captioned: "Happy Christmas Eve Eve. GRWM with my beautiful little girl. She's so funny."

Meanwhile, Helen tucked into a cup of tea and a Christmas cookie whilst her child tried her hand at playing her makeup artist.

In another picture, Helen and Matilda pulled silly expressions before smiling as the doting mum said: “Like mother like daughter.”

Their festive evening routine comes as Helen shockingly split from her fiancé Scott Sinclar earlier in the year.

Helen and the 33-year-old footballer were together for 13 years after they began dating back in 2009 and share three children together, Matilda, six, Delilah, three, and 21-month-old Charlie.

She said yes to Scott’s proposal at Disneyland 2018, and were set to tie the knot in 2024.

Rumours first surfaced of their relationship coming to an end after Helen appeared to remove her engagement ring in September.

The news first came to light just three days after Helen was spotted dancing with a mystery man at a friend’s birthday party, and just weeks after she completed filming for ITV ’s I’m A Celebrity All Stars in South Africa.

It’s thought that the co-parents will spend Christmas together to provide some normality for their children, but the chances of them getting back together are low.

A source told the Sun : “Helen’s sole focus is the three children she shares with Scott and they want to make this Christmas as ‘normal’ as possible.

“Scott is a professional footballer so often he won’t be around on Christmas day because of his fixtures list however Helen and Scott are planning something special for the children.

“Although they’re no longer together they will work together to make it magical for the kids.

“Helen is not open to talk of reconciliation and she just wants them to focus on being co-parents.”
