Is Helen Flanagan's relationship with Scott Sinclair on the rocks?
EXCLUSIVE: Is Helen Flanagan’s 13-year relationship with fiancé Scott Sinclair on the rocks? Star sparks concern as she ditches engagement ring for a MONTH
Helen Flanagan’s 13-year relationship with footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair is ‘on the rocks,’ it has been claimed to MailOnline.
The former Coronation Street star, 32, was pictured not wearing her engagement ring today as she arrived in London ahead of the Pride Of Britain Awards.
She hasn’t publicly worn her diamond ring for a month, including on the red-carpet at the National Television Awards last week and at Jorgie Porter’s baby shower on Sunday.
The couple, who have three children, Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, one, have apparently spent considerable time apart since the summer due to Scott, 33, building up his fitness with Chelsea at their training ground in Cobham, Surrey.
Last week, Scott sealed a move back to his boyhood club Bristol Rovers until the end of the season, after he was released by Preston North End, meaning he will likely be living 180 miles away from the family home in Cheshire.
Helen’s representative declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Helen and Scott have endured a testing few months.
‘Uncertainty over Scott’s footballing career and the fact they haven’t been able to spend much quality time together has put a strain on their relationship.
‘The children are their world and main priority, and they will always ensure nothing affects them.
‘Helen has been putting herself out there, it’s very much business as usual in her career and she won’t allow issues in her personal life to bring her down.’
Helen, who’s been engaged to Scott since 2018, jetted off to South Africa in September to film new spin-off series I’m A Celeb: All Stars.
The actress has publicly denied twice that she was set to take part in the one off special, but MailOnline can confirm she will star in the show.

Helen was last seen wearing her diamond engagement ring on TikTok last month but since then has filmed all her Instagram content without it.
Scott hasn’t been pictured on Helen’s Instagram profile since June when she wished him a Happy Father’s Day from their three children while the couple also appear to have stopped interacting on the social network.
In July, Helen revealed that she and Scott haven’t shared a bed for seven years due to the fact she co-sleeps with their children after years of breastfeeding.
She said: ‘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. There is so many other lovely, amazing stages after nursing… loving watching Charlie’s little personality grow.’

In September, Helen told MailOnline that she and Scott had finally found their ‘perfect’ wedding venue after being engaged for the past three years.
Though, due to being with Scott since she was 19-years-old, Helen said it already feels like they’re married so she wasn’t in a rush to walk down the aisle.
‘Unfortunately, they can only fit us in in 2024 but we have been together so long, I’ve been with Scott since I was 19, it already feels like we’re married anyway, which is why I’ve been so laid back’, Helen explained.
‘I have been so busy with the three children as well. I don’t want to give anything away, but it will be great fun for the kids and a special day for them.’
Helen, who starred as Rosie Webster on Coronation Street for 12 years and reprised the role in 2017, welcomed her first child, daughter Matilda, in 2015.
She gave birth to her second baby, Delilah, in 2018 and she and Scott had their first son, Charlie, last year.

Bath-born Scott left Bristol Rovers to join Chelsea aged 16 in 2007 before going onto have a successful career playing for Manchester City, Aston Villa, and Celtic, where he won three Scottish Premiership titles.
Speaking last week, Scott said he was looking forward to playing again for his hometown club because his parents and brothers, who still live locally, will be able to watch him.
He said: ‘I left home at 16, when I went to Chelsea, and it’s really nice to come back and my whole family can come to the games every week and not have to travel three-and-a-half hours on the M6 up north, so that’s a nice touch to come back and see my mum and dad and my brothers.’
