Helen Flanagan reunites with ex Scott Sinclair for daughter’s birthday party days after admitting difficult relationship
HELEN Flanagan reunited with ex Scott Sinclair to celebrate their daughter’s birthday days after she opened up on their “difficult” co-parenting relationship.
The Coronation Street favourite, 33 – who shares three children with footballer Scott Sinclair, 35 – put her struggles aside for the sake of their youngest daughter.
Adorable Delilah, who often features on Helen‘s social media pages, asked for a Spiderman party as she turned six – and the former couple pulled out all the stops to make it happen.
The ITV star captured a huge board in her garden complete with Spiderman graphics and a picture of her daughter.
Huge silver balloons and footballs surrounded the display, put together by Jayde Elise Events, while bright red goodie bags could be seen on a personalised stand.
A bright white bouncy castle – complete with a ball pit – finished off the fun for the youngsters, while a tiered black-iced cake offered the perfect birthday grub.
Later in the day, Helen captured herself in a pretty blue check dress as she flashed a peace sign to the camera.
After a special visit from Spiderman himself, Helen told her Instagram Stories viewers: “My baby Delilah’s party yesterday.
“Amazing day for my beautiful baby Delilah so proud to be Delilah’s mama she’s just the best.
“Even though Delilah is six I will still carry her like this [in her arms] until she is too heavy.”
Meanwhile, Scott took to his own Instagram account to upload an adorable shot showing him cuddling his youngest daughter.
Later in the weekend, Helen confessed how things had all become a bit too much.
She posted a teary snap showing her still wearing her gingham get-up but flashing a sad expression as she put: “This week was a lot.
“Was too drained to go out.”
As well as Delilah, Helen shares seven-year-old Matilda and two-year-old Charlie with footballer Scott.
TOUGH TIMES
The family event came just days after Helen told how she had a “difficult relationship” with her ex Scott.

“She’s very vulnerable and authentic about how she feels, and if she doesn’t get something, she just tells us and I think that’s very refreshing.
“I love working with celebs that feel like they can be themselves in our sofa in the Celebrity dating Agency chair.

“They have a persona, the TV persona, and they kind of play that a little bit at the beginning.
“But then, now that we’ve we’ve gone through quite a lot of filming I’m seeing a lot of authenticity and vulnerability. And this is an emotional series.”
