Helen Flanagan teases return to Coronation Street as she insists ITV need her – after revealing she plans to keep stripping off into her sixties

Helen Flanagan has teased a return to Coronation Street, confidently claiming the show ‘needs’ her.

The TV personality, 34, starred as Rosie Webster on the iconic British soap for 18 years after making her debut aged just nine in 2000.

She eventually left the show in 2018 and has not appeared in any other soaps since, with Helen ‘staying loyal’ to the show which catapulted her to stardom. 

But seven years after her exit, the stunner has teased a possible return to Coronation Street in a new interview.

The mother-of-three told The Sun: ‘I can’t say too much, but it could be possible that I’d go back.

‘I get on with everyone there, there’s nothing personal going. 

‘It changed my life so much and my loyalty is with the, I feel like Rosie’s a part of me. They do need me. They do need Rosie.’ 

Since her exit, Helen has arguably become more synonymous with her sizzling lingerie shoots than for her acting career.

And the model has no plans to stop anytime soon as she admitted that she has been inspired by older stars such as Amanda Holden and Elizabeth Hurley. 

Amanda and Elizabeth, who are both in their fifties, regularly stun fans with gorgeous bikini snaps and Helen gushed how she loves to see strong beautiful women no longer in their twenties ‘owning it’.

Helen revealed she ‘loves’ lingerie modelling and ‘hopes’ to continue stripping off into her sixties.

The mother-of-three encouraged other women to show off their bodies no matter their age, noting how she loves empowering other women and supporting them.

While she regularly garners plenty of attention and admiration for her jaw-dropping lingerie snaps, Helen has ruled out turning to OnlyFans, noting it’s ‘not something for me’.

She told how she’s a ‘grown woman’ with ‘catholic parents’, adding that there are ‘other things attached’ to the subscription site other than just lingerie modelling.

Helen even joked that she wouldn’t even go down the route of feet modelling like Lily Allen, quipping that she has ‘fat feet’. 

During her interview, Helen also opened up about any cosmetic procedures she’s had on her face and reveals it’s not as much as people may have thought. 

She noted that she’s had nothing but the ‘teeniest little bit of filler’ on her top lip, remarking how her pout is ‘naturally quite full’ already.

The star has been open about other work on her body in the past, with Helen showcasing the results of her boob job back in 2023. 

It comes after Helen put her ‘forever home’ on the market after seemingly losing most of her multi-million pound fortune.

And it looks as though the actress will have to wave goodbye to her incredible designer-filled wardrobe filled with glamorous accessories from the likes of Chanel and YSL.

She admitted she was having to sell her home after she was left ‘broke’ following her split from her ex fiancé Scott Sinclair and claimed that she barely had enough money to pay a £10 cab fare to get her son Charlie, three, to nursery.

And a few days ago, the six-bedroom detached property, situated in a village on the outskirts of Bolton, hit the market.

The three-floored property is spread over 5,000 square feet and is an ‘exceptional and beautifully presented detached family resident’.

However while Helen has recently fallen on hard times, one of the bedroom’s living room is full of designer handbags – including Chanel and YSL – trendy clothes and shoes, ‘which really gives it the wow factor’, according to the listing.

If it sells for anywhere near asking price, the former Coronation Street star will gain a substantial profit on the £840,000 paid for it in June 2021, according to land registry docs.

The mystery is who will keep the profit, as land registry docs seen by the Daily Mail in January reveal that its registered with her ex-partner, footballer Scott.

Judging from the estate agent’s photos, it appears Helen is still living there with her three children as their bedrooms are full of their belongings.

In the living room can be seen, a grand piano and there are also six bathrooms as well as a bespoke kitchen and breakfast bar with underfloor heating throughout. 

Two of the bedrooms also have their own en-suite bathrooms and living rooms.
