Helen Flanagan opens up about mental health struggles after breakup with Scott Sinclair

The news of Helen Flanagan’s separation from her long-time boyfriend Scott Sinclair in 2022 has shocked fans and followers alike. The couple, who had been together for 13 years, decided to part ways, leaving Helen to navigate the aftermath of the breakup.

In a recent interview with Mirror, Helen Flanagan bravely opened up about the toll the breakup took on her mental health. She described the experience as “devastating” and revealed that she struggled to process the end of her relationship with Scott. Instead of facing her emotions head-on, Helen threw herself into work, only to find herself in a state of mental and physical breakdown earlier this year.

Helen shared, “I don’t see it as a break-up, I see it as a divorce. We were together 13 years. But instead of processing it all, I threw myself into work and shut off my emotions.” She went on to describe the frightening experience of feeling like she was in danger all the time and seeing things that weren’t there.

The Coronation Street star also took to social media in March to reveal that she had been battling with her mental health in the months following her split from Scott. She made the difficult decision to step back from her role in the theatre tour of Cluedo 2 in order to prioritize her health and well-being.

Helen and Scott share three children together, eight-year-old Matilda, five-year-old Delilah, and two-year-old Charlie. Despite their separation, the couple is committed to co-parenting their children and providing them with love and support during this challenging time.

Fans have rallied around Helen Flanagan, offering words of encouragement and support as she navigates this difficult period in her life. Her honesty and vulnerability in sharing her struggles with mental health serve as a reminder that it’s important to prioritize self-care and seek help when needed, even in the midst of heartbreak.
