Helen Flanagan, former Coronation Street star, became emotional during her appearance on ITV's Loose Women, discussing her past relationship with Scott Sinclair and her struggles with mental health. Reflecting on her early career, she admitted to having hazy memories of her debut at age nine, but the conversation quickly turned to her public breakup and the distress caused by media coverage. Flanagan shared her experience of a psychotic breakdown, which she attributed to a reaction to ADHD medication, highlighting the pressures of being in the spotlight. She expressed that certain headlines trigger painful memories, and her decision to speak out was influenced by a commitment to a six-month theatre tour. The actress reminisced about her long-term relationship with Sinclair, stating, "I always thought we were going to be together, always," and noted the little things she misses about being in a relationship. Flanagan is set to appear on the new series of Celebs Go Dating, where she reflected on her past romance, saying her ex will likely be a better boyfriend to the next girl after her.
