Helen Flanagan admits she hasn't shared bed with fiancé Scott Sinclair for seven years

Former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan has revealed that she hasn't shared a bed with her fiancé for the last seven years.

Helen has been in a relationship with footballer Scott Sinclair for over a decade, with the pair having three kids - Matilda, six, Delilah, three, and son Charlie, 13 months.

They've been engaged since 2018 - but the duo don't even share a bed since Matilda came along, Helen has explained.

But it turns out it's for a really sweet reason.

In a lengthy post on her Instagram, Helen explained that she has been sorting out admin for the last week or so while Charlie weans off feeding.

She wrote: "I've always co slept with Charlie and the breast feeding went hand in hand.

"I'm doing my house up at the moment ( hence why most of my pics are taken in lounge area as I haven't got round to the rest).

"One of my next jobs is mine and Scott’s room and after seven years it would be nice as a couple to actually share a bed and not feel like flat mates!. I’ve always just co slept with the kids out of easiness and just basically so I can sleep and just function in the morning."

Last week, Helen revealed she was going to stop breastfeeding as she opened up on her struggles while parenting.

The star posted: "I've decided to stop feeding. I've really enjoyed nursing Charlie but the past month I've just had enough.

"Today was the first day I'm trying to gradually wean him off during the day (he feeds too much).

"I love being a mum and I'm so grateful for my babies, but I've just felt so drained so making some changes."

"I've never had any childcare for Charlie but I've decided to get some week. To help him eat more and get off the boob. It's just different stages and they will pass."

All three of Helen and Scott kids were recently struck down with scarlet fever.
