Helen Flanagan Wants Fairytale Amid Sofa Dispute

shared her wish for 'the fairytale', amid reports she is once again at war with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, following the sale of their family home last week.

The actress, 35, took to her Instagram on Sunday to share a behind-the-scenes video from a romantic-style photoshoot, lounging on a blanket on the grass in a white minidress.

Helen flaunted her incredible figure in the halterneck number, which boasted a lace-up corsetted bodice with a daringly low neckline and a lace trim.

The former posed up a storm as she moved to showcase her look from every angle, while breaking into giggles throughout.

Captioning the striking clip - set to Cigarettes After Sex hit track Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby - she confessed: 'I want the fairytale ✨'.

The video prompted a flood of gushing compliments from her followers, including a slew of her co-stars on the most recent series of Celebrity Ex On The Beach - which saw her brutally voted off after just four days.

Irish pop duo Jedward led the praise, as they insisted: 'You deserve that fairytale awww here’s to Helen', and MAFS UK bride Amy Kenyon added: 'My gorgey ❤️'

Too Hot To Handle star Izzy Fairthorne penned: 'Oh wowww gorgeous', while The Saturdays singer Una Healy echoed: 'Beautiful Helen ❤️'.

Her latest sizzling post comes after Helen and her ex-fiancé Scott, 37, reignited their 'toxic' feud, despite finally managing to sell their former family home last week.

The former couple were together for 13 years and welcomed three children together - Matilda, ten, Delilah, seven and son Charlie, five - before their split in 2022. 

The break-up became somewhat acrimonious, as Helen wanted her and the kids to remain in their six-bedroom Lancashire mansion, while Scott was adamant he wanted to sell.

The footballer reportedly wanted to stop paying maintenance and bills for the property, while Helen argued she'd put much of her own money into renovating the property, with parts of it redecorated and remodelled.

A friend of the TV personality's previously said: 'Scott pays for the house and all the bills and he's decided a six-bedroom place is way too big for Helen on her own with the kids.

'But Helen doesn't want to move and is digging her heels in. She loves the place, the kids are settled at the local school and her mum and dad live around the corner.

'Scott wants to buy Helen a four-bedroom home. He's even offered to put it in her name but wants to stop the maintenance payments.

'The relationship has completely broken down. They no longer communicate - everything goes through her parents.'

Another source then claimed that Scott had not found an alternative home, saying: 'Scott wants to sell to take the money out, but he hasn't found Helen or the kids a new place. He's not being reasonable. He and Helen are not on the same page.' 

Helen finally relented last year, saying she had made peace with the move as there was a 'sadness' in the house, which was supposed to be the couple's forever family home.

But while the property was put up for sale for £1.5million in May last year, it was then reduced to £1.195million and finally sold this month for just £995,000 - more than £500,000 under the asking price.

Scott - still named as the sole owner on Land Registry documents - will pocket around £155,000 from the sale if it went for the final asking price.

Agents Miller Metcalfe said of the house: 'An exceptional and beautifully presented detached family residence, offering over 5,000 sq. ft of luxurious living space.

'Situated in the picturesque village of Belmont, this bespoke home enjoys a commanding position on the edge of the moors, with breathtaking views across reservoirs and open countryside.

'Set on a generous, secure plot with gated access, the property features a sweeping driveway leading to a double garage, and is surrounded by well-manicured gardens - perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining.

'Spread over three floors, this home effortlessly combines character, quality, and modern lifestyle.'

The entrance hall has floor to ceiling windows, there is an open plan living area, a 'showpiece' kitchen and a generous breakfast bar.

Additional living spaces include a formal dining room, five further reception rooms, six bedrooms and six bathrooms, including two-bedroom suites with their own private living rooms and en-suite shower rooms.

And it appeared the sale had caused the pair's tumultuous relationship to finally be resolved, as they reunited last week to move Helen and the kids out of the house, looking in good spirits.

However, they are now said to be at loggerheads once again and no longer speaking - this time over a £15K designer sofa.

A source has claimed that their war over the furniture has caused things between them to turn 'toxic', with Helen now refusing to speak to Scott.

'Helen is fuming because the sofa was knackered, the kids ripped it and smeared lipstick all over it, so she spent a fortune having it reupholstered, so rightly believes it’s now hers.

'She feels Scott is just being difficult for the sake of it. Helen even tried to sell the sofa on her Instagram for £3,950, but Scott saw the post and said: "hold on, that’s mine, I’m coming to get it", she hit back and said: "well no, it’s mine"'.

They went on to tell The Sun: 'Helen said she wasn’t planning to talk to Scott or even look him in the eye, things between them are still toxic. All the conversations about moving and the furniture have mostly been over email'.
