Helen Flanagan's ex-fiancé has blocked her despite the pair sharing three children together.
Ms Flanagan, 35, broke up with her ex-Scott Sinclair, 35, in 2022 after thirteen years together, four of which they were engaged.
They share Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three.
Now speaking openly about it for the first time, she said the pair weren't right for each other.
Speaking on The Mail's The Life of Bryony podcast, she said: 'You read so much about how you don't need a man to make you happy.
'No, I don't need a man to make me happy, but it really f*****g helps when you're in a healthy relationship to a toxic one.'
Helen said that her relationship with Scott Sinclair was unhealthy.
'No disrespect to the father of my children, you know, I've had three children with him, and I always have a lot of love for him.
'We're both good people, but together we were very toxic.
'I think a toxic relationship can just damage your mental health a lot.
'Especially when you struggle with your mental health anyway.
'I mean, I'm on block at the moment on Scott's phone. I really am. I'm on block.
'We do each other's f*****g head in. But I know he always will have a love for me, you know, you always have kind of a respect for each other, I know he's not a bad guy, we've just got our own s**t going on.
'And I think because we're together from so young, we were just 19, and I just don't think we had that time to grow, until we've split up, we just we just didn't work.'

In the interview, she also opened up about her relationship with boyfriend Robbie Talbot. He's been living in the former Coronation Street star's home since last month
A month ago Helen appeared on show Celebs Go Dating where she was met with backlash when she confessed that she already had a secret boyfriend, Robbie Talbot, outside of the show.
The construction firm boss, 44, has been living in the former Coronation Street star's home since last month, eight months since the pair began dating.
Asked by Bryony about her new relationship, she said: 'He's lovely.
'Everybody loves him.
'I just met him at a bar.
'I literally, I just, I could not stop laughing at this guy.
'My boyfriend's actually the funniest guy I've ever met.
'He's got two kids and he's, he's really beautiful with my children.'
'I think that's what made me fall more in love with him because he's so good with my mental health things and that's the main thing for me that I need.
'I need someone that's good for me mentally and emotionally, that's my top thing and that's what I've realised.
'No disrespect to the father of my children, I'll always have that love for him, but he didn't know how to cope with me, or didn't know how to do that, and not everybody does, but because the man that I'm with now really knows how to do that, it makes me happy.'
