Helen Flanagan wants Corrie return

The 32-year-old actress played Rosie Webster in the ITV soap from 2000 to 2012 and reprised the role in 2017, before going on maternity leave in June 2018, and Helen revealed she would love play Rosie again.

Helen - who has children Matilda, eight, Delilah, five and Charlie, two, with her former partner Scott Sinclair - told The Sun: "I would absolutely love to go back to Corrie at some point. It's just timing. "You know if you're a mum, it's working through things with the kids. I definitely want to do it at some point."

Helen previously revealed she has been thinking about how Rosie might have changed in the years since she was last on screen.

She told The Daily Star newspaper: "I'd like to see Rosie be a mum, I think that would be interesting. I think she would palm Sally [Rosie's mother] off with the kids and then just go and do anything that she wants."

Last year, an insider revealed that 'Coronation Street' bosses would welcome Helen's return to the show.

The source told The Sun newspaper at the time: "Helen's talking about plans to return - not this year, but maybe late next year.

"Bosses have made it clear they'd welcome her back and she sees the soap cast as family.

"She misses them, and playing Rosie, a lot."

Helen was previously happy to prioritise her relationship with former Chelsea star Scott.

But following their split, she's now keen to return to 'Coronation Street'.

The insider explained: "What was stopping her before was looking after her kids and Scott's football career - she never knew where he'd sign next or where they'd live.

"But now she's single she's talking a lot about going back to 'Corrie' - she hasn't had any official meetings yet but it's something she's talking about."
