Former Corrie actor and reality star favourite Helen Flanagan opens up to ED! about how her split from fiancé Scott Sinclair impacted her.
Since leaving the ITV soap opera in 2018, the 34-year-old has remained a regular face on television. In 2020, she returned to I’m A Celeb as an all-star following her original appearance in 2012. Last year, Helen took part in Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating, where she wanted to find love again.
Helen also regularly endorses products and shares her personal life via her Instagram page, which boasts more than 1 million loyal followers who like to keep up with what’s going on in her world. Speaking on behalf of WhichBingo Awards, the TV star exclusively sat down with ED! to discuss how she chooses to navigate social media positively and dealing with trolls.

Helen Flanagan on online trolls
“Unfortunately, it’s a bit of the nature of the beast with the job,” Helen says about receiving horrible comments. In December, she had to fire back at trolls who said cruel things about her image.
She continues: “Also, I’ve been an actress from a young age, from being judged and in the public eye from such a young age, it’s something that I’m used to and I’ve had to develop a tougher skin.”
Helen’s social media page offers an insight into her life from motherhood to lingerie modelling to even snapshots with her kids and boyfriend, Robbie Talbot. As far as she’s concerned, she tries to “keep my social media for women, really”.
Helen adds: “What you see is what you get on my social media”.
