Helen Flanagan reunites with ex Scott Sinclair to surprise daughter in sweet video

Helen Flanagan has reunited with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair in a video shared on the ex-Coronation Street actress' social media page.

The 32-year-old actress, who split from footballer Scott, 33, earlier this year, shared a video of her and her ex surprising their eldest daughter with a festive present.

In a video shared on Helen's Instagram page, Helen and Scott present their three children Matilda, six, Delilah, three, and one-year-old Charlie with a furry gift.

The clip sees Scott holding their son Charlie's hand as he walks along a hallway with a box in his hand containing the new pet guinea pigs.

Helen and Scott's daughters are then seen excitedly bouncing up and down while the former Corrie star can be heard laughing while capturing the moment.

Matilda then grins and puts her hands over her mouth before smiling at the camera.

The next clip then sees the box open as Matilda looks into it to see two guinea pigs before putting her hand over her mouth again in shock at the furry surprise.

Mum Helen then asks her daughter: "Which one's Snowball and which one's Snowflake?," to which Matilda indicates which is which by pointing at them while her dad stands beside her.

In the next clip, little Matilda then strokes one of her new furry friends before Helen is filmed sitting on the floor with her daughter and her new pets in a pen.

Mum Helen looks so pleased as she smiles and gives a thumbs up to the camera before picking up a glass of fizz.

Before the clip ends, little Charlie is seen standing over the pen and looking at the new arrivals into their family.
