Helen Flanagan reunites with her rarely seen brother for first Christmas without fiancé

Helen Flanagan was delighted to spend some quality time with her brother on Boxing Day following her first Christmas since her split from fiance Scott Sinclair.

The mum-of-three took to social media this morning to introduce her big brother Tom to her fans online - with the star's Instagram followers rushing to let her know how her sibling is 'a wee hottie'.

Helen shared a snap of herself beaming alongside Tom, 39, during an evening at The Ivy Spinningfields in Manchester last night, after the former Coronation Street star reunited with ex Scott to surprise their children on Christmas Day.

The actress, 32, wore a white satin shirt from Zara teamed with a glitzy mini skirt with feather detailing for the festive night out with her sibling - sharing some pictures with her fans on Instagram this morning.

"Such a nice night with my brother last night," Helen captioned the snap taken at the Manchester restaurant, "He lives in Bangkok so I don’t get to see him much x."

Helen grew up in Bolton with her nursery nurse mum Julia, her electrical contractor dad Paul, sisters Jane, 40, a costumier, and student Jessica, 29, and 39-year-old electrician brother Tom.

"Good looking bloke," one of Helen's fans wrote in the comment section underneath the star's sweet update this morning.

"Handsome man," another added, as a third quipped: "He is a wee hottie too x."

One of the I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! star's followers gushed: "Wow how lovely is your family."

Helen's big night out with her sibling follows her first Christmas as a single mother, after splitting from her partner of 13 years Scott earlier this year.

Neither Helen or the Bristol Rovers footballer player, 33, have confirmed or denied rumours about their relationship, but the two stars are said to have called off their engagement over the summer.

"Helen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott," a source close to the former couple claimed in October this year.

"They hit a rough patch in the summer and after Helen came back from South Africa it ended for good," the source added to The Sun.

"Helen and Scott have committed to co-parenting their kids as a family unit."

The pair appeared to be managing to co-parent just fine on Christmas Day, as they teamed up to present their three children Matilda, six, Delilah, three, and one-year-old Charlie with a furry gift.

A video shared on Helen's Instagram page sees Scott holding their son Charlie's hand as he walks along a hallway with a box in his hand containing the new pet guinea pigs.

Helen and Scott's daughters are then seen excitedly bouncing up and down while the former Corrie star can be heard laughing while capturing the moment.
