Helen Flanagan has admitted she is no longer living with her boyfriend Robbie Talbot after he briefly moved into her home.
The former Corrie star, 34, also lifted the lid on her split from ex fiancé Scott Sinclair as she revealed the truth about the breakdown of their relationship.
The actress and the footballer, 36, separated in 2022 after 13 years together. The pair share three children, Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and son Charlie, four.
While her romance with construction worker Robbie, 45, is going from strength to strength, Helen revealed he moved out because it wasn’t helpful for her children who ‘miss’ their dad.
She told The Sun: ‘I’d asked him to stay for a while, because I often get quite scared in the house on my own and feel safer with a man there.
‘But Matilda is very sensitive and a proper daddy’s girl, and she struggles with not seeing Scott as often as she’d like. I always think about how she feels when she misses her dad, and having my boyfriend there maybe doesn’t help her.’

On her failed romance with ex Scott, Helen revealed she was the one to call time on their relationship.
She said they ‘were always quietly breaking up and then getting back together’ until one day she called it quits for good.
Helen said: ‘In the end, it was me who decided [to break up]. I’ll always be sad it didn’t work out, and we still have love for each other, but we’re happier apart.’
It comes just after Helen revealed that her friends tried to put her on a ‘man ban’ after she split from Scott.
Looking back at the time of her split from Scott, Helen told The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine: ‘A lot of my friends were trying to put me on a man ban, which obviously didn’t work!
‘I was hurting from the break up and I’ve always just wanted to be loved so I started dating.’
Lifting the lid on her blossoming relationship with Robbie, the soap star gushed: ‘He’s a kind, genuine person, he makes me laugh and he’s brilliant with my kids.’
The parenting admission also comes just after Helen put on a united front with Scott to celebrate their son Charlie’s third birthday last month.

Helen recently put on a united front with her ex-partner Scott to celebrate their son Charlie’s fourth birthday last month
The former couple looked in very high spirits as they spent quality time celebrating Charlie’s 4th birthday.
Helen previously admitted that the former couple ‘don’t like each other at all’ despite them ‘caring deeply’ for each other.
Speaking to Charlotte Dawson on her Naughty Corner podcast, Helen said: ‘I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don’t like each other.
‘We don’t like each other at all, we don’t get on. I do know that Scott – he’d never admit it – cares about me too and he does love me.
‘But I’m so done, I could never have another relationship again where we would always be bickering. I haven’t got another argument in me.
‘As women we try and do anything we can to make it work with the father of your children and I did. But I think for me if I was in a relationship with someone else it would have to be easy because I haven’t got the energy in me again, I’ve done all that with the father of my kids.’
Helen went onto say co-parenting is ‘hilarious’ as she revealed the pair try and avoid each other so they don’t ‘argue’ in front of their kids.
She continued: ‘I’ve been a single mum for two years now. Co-parenting is hilarious, we were together for 13 years.

‘The last time I saw him, I thought it was quite funny, I was taking the p*** out of him because he had a bucket hat on. I think he was trying not to laugh.
‘He lives in Bath and I live in North Manchester so its about five hours and we meet in Birmingham to exchange things and the kids.
‘He’s throwing things in my boot and I just started taking the mickey out of his bucket hat to lighten the mood.
‘We just try and not be in the same house together because the children are the priority and I want a good environment for them and I don’t want them to see us arguing.’
Elsewhere in the chat, Helen admitted she was previously on celebrity dating app Raya.
She said: ‘Being single is, wow. There are some awful men out there.
‘I did have Raya on my phone and Matilda would sit on my phone and she would go through the guys on the dating app and would laugh at them. She would go to school and be like, “my mum has a boys app”.
‘I don’t have the app anymore, I did go on a few dates from there but I kind of felt a bit…but it was hilarious at the beginning.
