Helen Flanagan Hints at Coronation Street Return as She Vows to Keep Modelling into Her Sixties.

Former soap star says ‘Coronation Street needs Rosie Webster’ while discussing financial struggles and body confidence goals

Helen Flanagan has sparked excitement among Coronation Street fans after teasing a possible return to the long-running ITV soap. In a candid new interview, the 34-year-old actress revealed her enduring loyalty to the show and claimed it “needs” her iconic character, Rosie Webster.

Flanagan, who first appeared on Coronation Street at just nine years old in 2000, played Rosie for 18 years before departing the cobbles in 2018. Despite her seven-year absence from Weatherfield, Helen has remained loyal to the soap that launched her career and now hints she might be ready to reprise her role.

“I can't say too much, but it could be possible that I'd go back,” she told The Sun. “I get on with everyone there – there’s nothing personal going on. It changed my life so much and my loyalty is with them. I feel like Rosie’s a part of me. They do need me. They do need Rosie.”

While Flanagan stepped away from soapland, she continued to capture attention with her modelling work, especially her glamorous lingerie campaigns. Far from slowing down, the mother-of-three says she plans to continue posing in lingerie well into her sixties — drawing inspiration from fellow age-defying celebrities like Amanda Holden and Elizabeth Hurley.

“I love lingerie modelling, and I hope I’ll still be stripping off when I’m 60,” she said. “I love seeing beautiful, strong women owning it, no matter their age. Amanda and Elizabeth are both in their fifties and look amazing – it’s empowering.”

Known for promoting body positivity, Helen encouraged other women to embrace their figures at any stage in life. “I love empowering other women and supporting them,” she added.

However, she was quick to shut down any speculation that she might join platforms like OnlyFans. “It’s not something for me,” she explained. “I’m a grown woman with Catholic parents – and there are other things attached to that kind of site that just don’t suit me.”

She even jokingly dismissed the idea of becoming a foot model like Lily Allen, laughing: “I’ve got fat feet!”

Helen also opened up about cosmetic procedures, addressing long-running speculation about work she may have had done. “People always think I’ve had loads of stuff, but honestly, I’ve only had the tiniest bit of filler in my top lip – and even that wasn’t really necessary,” she admitted. “My lips are already naturally full.”

The star has previously spoken openly about undergoing a breast augmentation in 2023, sharing her decision publicly as part of her body confidence journey after having three children.

Financial Woes and Selling the Family Home

While Helen may be contemplating a triumphant return to Coronation Street, recent reports suggest her personal life has faced significant financial challenges. She has placed her six-bedroom “forever home” on the market amid reports she’s lost a large portion of her multi-million pound fortune.

The lavish property, located in a village just outside Bolton, was bought for £840,000 in 2021. It spans 5,000 square feet and includes multiple en-suite bedrooms, a bespoke kitchen, a grand piano, and underfloor heating. The real estate listing boasts designer elements throughout – including a room filled with luxury handbags by Chanel and YSL – offering prospective buyers serious “wow” factor.

However, the sale comes after Helen publicly admitted that, following her split from ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, she found herself struggling financially. At one point, she confessed she barely had enough money to pay for a £10 cab fare to take her son Charlie, now three, to nursery.

“I was broke,” she said. “There were moments where I genuinely didn’t know what I was going to do next. I had to sell my house – I didn’t have a choice.”

Complicating matters further, land registry documents reportedly show that the property is co-owned with her ex-partner Scott Sinclair, raising questions over who will benefit from any profit once the house is sold.

Despite these challenges, the property remains a luxurious space, with evidence suggesting Helen and her children – Matilda, 8, Delilah, 5, and Charlie – are still living there. Their bedrooms, filled with toys and personal belongings, appear in the listing photos.

Amid personal and financial upheavals, Flanagan is clearly focused on rebuilding her life and career. Her possible return to Coronation Street could mark a significant comeback, especially as she remains a beloved figure among fans of the show.

Beyond acting, her modelling work and public speaking on topics like motherhood, mental health, and self-esteem have earned her a devoted following on social media. Her transparency about her therapy journey, body image issues, and motherhood has struck a chord with many.

Flanagan's return to the spotlight also signals a new chapter for the star – one that she hopes will blend nostalgia with ambition. Whether she’s back on screen as Rosie Webster or continuing to inspire women through her fashion and advocacy work, Helen Flanagan appears ready to take on the future with confidence and style.
