Helen Flanagan delightedly reunited with her three children after they spent Christmas with their father Scott Sinclair.
The soap star has been locked in a bitter feud with the footballer, with whom she shares Matilda, 10, and Delilah, seven, along with son Charlie, four, and spent the festive period away from the kids while also suffering a car crash.
Following Scott’s idyllic Christmas with his children, before which Helen branded him ‘a piece of s**t’, on Wednesday night she took to Instagram to share snaps from her New Year’s Eve festivities with her beloved brood.
Helen, who split from the Bristol Rovers footballer in 2022 following 13 years together, looked sensational in a strapless black dress as she cosied up to her kids to ring in 2026 at a swanky party, just days after appearing on Scott’s social media.
Last month, Helen hit out at Scott after he travelled to Abu Dhabi and missed Charlie’s nativity performance amid ongoing tensions between the pair.

The following morning, Helen emerged from a hotel looking worlds away from her glamorous look the previous evening.
The star was make-up free and clutching a pile of papers while dragging a suitcase while sporting a statement pink shearling coat.
Her sighting comes just days after Scott shared a glimpse into Christmas with their children, with one of his posts seeing the proud dad stands with all three kids in a forest setting as they beam for the camera.
He simply captioned the post: ‘Peace and happiness’. The family also enjoyed a festive trip to an ice rink, lacing up their skates for some seasonal fun.
It comes after Helen appeared to take yet another swipe at ex Scott, just days after branding him a ‘piece of s***’ on Instagram. She heaped praise on her mum for ‘practically raising her kids’ while she has been performing in a Liverpool panto.
Alongside a snap of her mother Julia cuddling Charlie, she penned: ‘So grateful for my incredible mum who has looked after my children for really the past two months while I’ve been working…

She looked far more pared-back just one day after the celebrations
‘The BEST grandma ever, so lucky to have you mum. All the school runs, all the activities, all the school work, all the washing. Love you’.
Sources close to to the situation claimed they know why Helen publicly condemned her ex, who she has apparently blocked as is only speaking to via relatives.
Before Christmas, Helen admitted she was feeling ‘deflated’ after struggling with mum guilt and her ADHD this festive period amid her feud with her ex.
On New Year’s Eve as she opened up about feeling ‘rubbish about myself.’ She told fans: ‘If I am being honest I just feel so deflated in mood today. I just feel like I have just gone like this [gestured her hand going down] and I feel like that is ok.
‘I think my ADHD is so in overdrive and I feel like the older I get I actually realise the more severe my ADHD is.
‘Like the older I am getting the more I feel like I need to have my sh*t together, so then I feel more rubbish about myself.’
She continued: ‘I really loved panto and the social aspect of it and how fun it was being back performing. But it takes me a bit of time when something is over to go into the next transition.’

Helen said she felt ‘deflated’ after struggling with mum guilt, her ADHD and crashing her car in her latest Instagram debrief on Wednesday amid row with Scott
Helen starred as the Wicked Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in Liverpool in December and has revealed how she struggled with mum guilt as a result.
She told her followers: ‘I just have constant mum guilt because I haven’t really seen the kids for two months and then when I did see them I was really tired.’
To top it all off, Helen has ended the year with another blow after crashing her car, as she confessed: ‘Also I crashed my car yesterday, it was fine, it could have been a lot worse, but I crashed my car so it is just hassle.
‘I wanted to go to Scotland and stuff but I can’t because I crashed into another car, totally my fault.’
Helen then explained why she doesn’t want to go back on medication for her ADHD, despite it getting worse. She was diagnosed with psychosis after suffering a ‘bad reaction’ to her ADHD medication in 2023.
She explained: ‘I am trying to learn my lines for my new play but my head is so busy with my ADHD that I am finding it hard to concentrate.
‘If I had the right medication it would probably be really good for me but I literally can’t and I am too scared to.’
