Helen Flanagan kept her engagement ring after her split from Scott Sinclair
The former 'Coronation Street' actress split from her footballer fiancé - the father of her three children Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, two - last year and cancelled all their wedding plans and she's now opened up about the end of their engagement - revealing she decided not to give her diamond sparkler back to Scott but it doesn't mean they are going to be getting back together.
She told OK! magazine: "My ring’s my ring, it’s for my girls [daughters]."
When asked whether there's any chance of a reconciliation between the couple, she added: "No. I just hope we can be good friends and co-parent."
Helen also explained why she was seen wearing her engagement ring during her stint on 'I'm a Celebrity ... South Africa' which was filmed last September - revealing the split had yet to become public knowledge and she didn't want anyone prying into her personal life.
She said: "I did wear my engagement ring when I was in the jungle. We’d only just broken up, and I didn’t want everyone to be asking: ‘Where’s your ring'.
"I didn’t want to talk about it … I wanted to keep it private for the kids, I didn’t want to be talking about it on the show. I did find that difficult, because I had all that going on in my head."
Helen went on to confirm recent reports which suggested she has signed up to celebrity dating app Raya as she searches for love again but she refused to lift the lid on whether she's had any success, telling the magazine: "But I wouldn’t want to say if I’ve been on any dates. Maybe next time! It’s nice to have some fun.”
