Make-up free Helen Flanagan opts for a laid back look as she departs the theatre in Bolton amid bitter co-parenting row with ex Scott Sinclair

Helen Flanagan cut a casual figure as she left the Octagon Theatre in Bolton after a performance of her play The Memory Of Water.

The actress, 35, went makeup free for the outing as she sported a grey jumper with a kitten print and text reading: 'Rage consume me'.

She also donned  red and pink striped tracksuit bottoms and a pair of mauve boots.

Carrying a Starbucks coffee, the former Coronation Street actress completed her look with a leopard print handbag. 

The outing comes after Helen addressed her mum guilt in a new holiday video with her children.

Helen said individual getaways would help with her 'guilt' and allow her to be 'fully present' while she poke fun at her love life.

She penned: 'Been planning my trips for 2026 my love life may always be in tatters but I have been so very blessed with three beautiful children x.

'I’m planning a little trip to Lake Como with Matilda and a one to one trip with Delilah to Bangkok to see my brother and nephew x

'As a single mum of three, I’ve learnt that little one-on-one trips feel so much more manageable (and meaningful) than trying to do everything all at once. It gives me the chance to really be present with each of them.

'And the best part? I actually earn back on every trip I book through my travel platform which means more memories, less guilt, and a lot more freedom.'

Helen shares Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and four-year-old Charlie with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair.

She split from the Bristol Rovers footballer in 2022 following 13 years together. 

The pair are currently embroiled in a bitter co-parenting row. 

Both have been feuding since the former Coronation Street actress blasted the footballer, 36, for failing to turn up to their son's nativity, despite the fact she spent Christmas apart from their children.

A source previously said that communication between the exes has 'completely broken down,' and they now only speak through Helen's parents.

They told The Sun: 'But Helen doesn't want to move and is digging her heels in. She loves the place, the kids are settled at the local school and her mum and dad live around the corner.

'Scott wants to buy Helen a four-bedroom home. He's even offered to put it in her name but wants to stop the maintenance payments.'

Scott had previously put their family home up for sale for £1.5million last May, but reduced the house £1.195million four weeks later. In September it was reduced to £995,000.

Another source has claimed that Scott is yet to find Helen an alternative home, saying: 'Scott wants to sell to take the money out, but he hasn't found Helen or the kids a new place. He's not being reasonable. He and Helen are not on the same page.'

The Daily Mail contacted representatives for Helen Flanagan and Scott Sinclair for comment at the time.
