Helen Flanagan shares emotional update as she confesses to 'feeling really down'

Helen Flanagan has shared an emotional update with fans as she confessed she’s feeling down and pining for her children.

The Corrie star, 32, has been separated from her three kids for the past few days as they’re on holiday with their dad.

The mum-of-three split from footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair last July after 13 years together.

They share daughters Matilda, seven, Delilah, four and son Charlie, two.

But I’m A Celebrity star Helen has admitted she’s missing her brood terribly after trying to fill her time away from them with work and fun with friends.

Taking to her Instagram on Monday, she shared a snap of her and two of her offspring as they cuddled in close to their mum with her one million followers.

In a second snap, the doting mum could been seen breastfeeding little Charlie at a restaurant table as she gazed down and smiled at him.

She captioned the pictures: “Don’t know what I’d do without my babies.”

Helen also took to her Instagram Story to update fans on her day as she took them along between work commitments.

She told the camera: “Finally not hungover. I’m off to Essex for work.

“I’m glad that the weather’s better and I don’t have to wear a coat. I’m getting back to Manchester soon, I’ve been in London for days.”

She then gave fans a candid update on how she was feeling after time away from her beloved children.

She explained: “I miss my kids so much. I felt really down actually last night because I really miss them now.

“I’ve had a really, really fun time, but I feel weird now and I want them back.”

She later updated fans on her day as she sat on a train.

“I’ve had such a fun time actually when the kids have gone away. They’re away with Scott and they’ve had the best time with all their cousins so I know they’re really happy. And obviously Scott’s amazing with the kids, and his mum is, so I know they’re good.

“It’s been nice actually having my own time. I’ve made sure I’ve gone out with all my friends and I’ve had fun. I kind of feel like I did in my 20s, I acted like I was in my 30s in my 20s and I’m doing more of my own thing now.

“But I can’t wait to go home, I want to go for a run and do some detox and get some juices down me.”

The update came hours after single Helen sparked throuple speculation after being seen deep in conversation with David Haye and his girlfriend Sian Osborne.

The former boxer, 42, was said to have been in a three-way relationship earlier this year with his partner, 30, and The Saturdays singer Una Healy, 41.

But things collapsed earlier this year as the trio became two - and that means there's room for one more.

Last week, David and Sian were spotted with a mystery woman.

No romance has been confirmed - but now there's suggestions Helen could be keen to join their famous relationship.

The actress was seen chatting to David, who she met on I'm A Celebrity back in 2012, and Sian on Saturday night.

They caught up at a Heineken after party following a boxing event as Helen sparkled in a black blazer and a pair of gold stilettos.

They were watching KSI fight at Wembley, with Helen's former Corrie co-star Beverley Callard also at the bout.
