Helen Flanagan took a brutal swipe at her ex Scott Sinclair as she shared a very sassy joke on her Instagram stories on Saturday.
The English actress and model, 35, split from her footballer ex, 36, in 2022 after 13 years together and they share daughters Matilda, 10, Delilah, 7, and son Charlie, four.
And despite their amicable parenting relationship, the former Coronation Street star shared a funny meme clip, from a page called @pettycoparenting101, which read: ‘You can’t just go around calling your kids’ dad a b****.’
The hilarious ‘reaction’ to it was a clip of American rapper Usher dancing around.
Just earlier this month, Helen issued a cryptic warning as she prepares to release a tell-all book.
The soap star shot to fame as Rosie in the Cobbles in 2000 and has never left the limelight since.

She has also faced struggles with her mental health and suffered a psychotic breakdown due to a bad reaction to medication.
Now, Helen has vowed to reveal everything with no ‘airbrushing’ of what has really happened during her life, in one of the latest book releases from the Mirror.
Speaking ahead of its release in January, Helen told the publication: ‘I was going to have to revisit painful times, digging deep into experiences I’d have much rather left buried in the past.’
She added: I’ve made mistakes, I’ve been hurt and I’ve had to rebuild from rock bottom, but I’ve also learned, grown and come out the other side a better, stronger person.
‘Telling my truth meant no hiding – no glossing over or airbrushing.’
Helen and Scott split in 2022 after being together for 13 years and at the time Helen said ‘I don’t see it as a break-up, I see it as a divorce’ due to having been together for so long, and having children together.
Looking back Helen admitted that she did not process her emotions properly and focused on work whilst navigating ‘survival mode’.

Helen concluded: ‘When you’re 19 you can go out in Manchester and come home with a boyfriend a few days later, but I’m 35 now, I’m not really going to go on a night out am I, really?’
Last month, the beauty suffered a ‘breakdown’ and claimed she ‘f***ing hates co-parenting’ in an emotional Instagram post.
While sobbing into the camera, Helen said: ‘I really, really struggle. I really struggle when they go away and I only like them going away if I’m doing something… I’m suffering really badly with anxiety at the moment’.
Earlier this year, her friends also confirmed that the actress had broken off her relationship with Robbie Talbot in May after experiencing a change of heart.
The couple met while appearing on Celebs Go Dating.
A source told The Sun: ‘They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.
‘She sat him down two weeks ago and said, ”This isn’t working”… She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him.’
