Helen Flanagan is reported to have signed up to a celebrity dating app following her split. The soap star was with footballer Scott Sinclair for 13 years, and the pair were engaged.
The Coronation Street actor split from the Bristol Rovers winger with whom she shares three children - Delilah, Matilda and Charlie. It has been reported in the media that Helen, 32, is now ready to start dating again after signing up to Raya.
The app describes itself as a "private, membership-based community for people all over the world to connect and collaborate". It's not solely for celebrities, but it is reported to favour those with social media sway.
In one of her profile photographs published by The Sun, Helen wears her hair wavy, while in another she is wearing a tight black dress, reports BristolLive. A source reportedly told The Sun: "Helen has been feeling more and more positive about the future since the new year and feels ready to enjoy some nice dates and male company.
"She's feeling super-confident since her boob job and just thought why not?"
Helen and Scott started dating in 2009 before getting engaged in 2018. But they split just before Christmas.
She is best known for playing Rosie Webster in the ITV soap opera from 2000 to 2012. She then reprised the role in 2017 before going on maternity leave the following year.
In 2006, she was nominated for the 'Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor or Actress' at the British Soap Awards, but narrowly lost out to Ellis Hollins of Hollyoaks. At the same awards a year later, she was nominated for 'Villain of the Year', but this time lost out to Corrie co-star Jack Shepherd.
The 32-year-old actress also appeared on the twelfth series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2012. She finished in seventh place.
Away from her career, Flanagan revealed that she hadn't shared a bed with Sinclair for around seven years. She posted on Instagram to explain why.
The post, from May this year, read: "I've always co-slept with Charlie and the breastfeeding went hand in hand. I'm doing my house up at the moment (hence why most of my pics are taken in the 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 flatmates! 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."
