Instagram post She openly admitted in a recent social media post she felt 'lonely' for the first time earlier this year , after she split from Scott in July. She described their relationship as being 'special' before it came to an end and said her ex was once "her whole world." "I'm just myself on Instagram . What my life actually is. I'm just myself," Helen started as she chatted with her one million followers on Instagram. "I love following other
Women and you can create a community on Instagram, really. When I look at Instagram and TikTok I usually look at relationship things or break-up things." Helen Flanagan and Scott share kids Matilda, Charlie and Delilah together. (Image: Instagram) Helen continued: "I didn't want to share those things so there's plenty I don't share but there's things I don't and I get a lot of messages about, from other women, with similar situations. "I find my social media quite therapeutic really. I like being honest about situations really. I am trying to do that with motherhood... it has been a weird adjustment for me. Over the past year really. I was with my fiancé for a really long time - when I was 19 to 31 and he was my whole world. "But yeah, and then, before that, I had a boyfriend when I was 17. My whole adult life - I've never been single or on my own. So that, over the past year, has been quite an adjustment for me." The former Corrie star added: "I remember kind of, shortly after we separated, I made sure - and I think it's really good to have distractions - I did the jungle which I was really grateful for. It was perfect timing, perfect project and a great distraction. I really enjoyed it so I did that.

Scott surprised me with the house two years ago and I got great satisfaction in seeing everything transform so I really enjoyed doing my house up. Also just getting myself into work projects and things like that. And obviously, with kids, think when you have a breakup and you have children it can be such a blessing in some ways. "They make you laugh, you can feel absolutely terrible, or feel rubbish or down and you have to get up and do the school run in the morning, they are a great distraction. As a mum you're always busy, aren't you? You don't have time to think because you're busy looking after your children and you can lose yourself in them which is really comforting... Helen admitted she isn't ready for the dating scene yet. (Image: Instagram) "And also you get a lot of love from your children. If I'm ever feeling a bit low or what have you, my kids, they always make me feel better. But I suppose the downside is, when you need a minute.. if you're feeling a certain way or emotional, you have to put a face on." The lengthy video chat also saw Helen reveal she seeks the help of a life coach: "What has helped me, because I do get other women messaging in similar situations to me, I've had a really good life coach. She's amazing. "She's kind of a therapist, more a life coach and it's very empowering. That's something that has really helped me. I've never been on my own but just thinking, what do I want? What does Helen want? What do I really, really want to do... And I feel like at the moment, this sounds really cringe and I'm going to cringe watching it, but you are kind of like finding yourself and that's how I feel."
