Helen Flanagan is best known for her role in ITV soap Coronation Street | PA<\/p>\nHelen Flanagan has revealed her hopes of making a comeback to Coronation Street, detailing a clear vision for her character’s return to the cobbles.<\/p>\n
The actress, who portrayed Rosie Webster from 2000 until her maternity leave in 2018, explained she would “absolutely love to return,” adding: “It feels like home.”<\/p>\n
Ms Flanagan has specific ideas about how she’d like to see Rosie back on screen, suggesting the character could become a barmaid and even have a soap wedding.<\/p>\n
Speaking to The Mirror, she shared: “I would love Rosie to come back as an iconic barmaid and have a Corrie wedding as it’s the only wedding I’d be getting at the moment, but they haven’t been in touch yet, it would be so perfect as I only live around the corner,” the 35-year-old explained.<\/p>\n
Before her potential Corrie return, viewers will see Ms Flanagan on the fourth series of Celebrity Ex On The Beach, which premieres on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The mother-of-three found signing up for the dating programme an easy decision when approached last November.<\/p>\n
“I have always loved it,” she told the publication. “When I was asked, it was November and freezing in the UK, and I just thought, ‘How fun?’ I was single, so why not?”<\/p>\n
The actress described the experience as thoroughly enjoyable, particularly valuing the opportunity to bond with fellow female contestants.<\/p>\n

“I had the best time,” she revealed. “What I loved most was the girl time. There was such a gorgeous group of girls, and I don’t often get that kind of social time in my everyday life.”<\/p>\n
The actress teased that the series contains plenty of “drama” and “juicy” moments, with numerous unexpected twists throughout filming.<\/p>\n
Ms Flanagan’s participation in the dating show has attracted criticism on social media, with some questioning whether a mother of three should appear on such programmes.<\/p>\n
The actress remains defiant in the face of such comments, viewing her involvement as empowering rather than inappropriate.<\/p>\n
“There have been comments on social media suggesting I shouldn’t be doing a show like that as a mum of three, but no one would say that about a dad,” she stated. <\/p>\n
Ms Flanagan is mother to Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, five, following her split from footballer Scott Sinclair in July 2022 after 13 years together.<\/p>\n
She previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating in 2024, where she caused a stir by revealing a secret relationship with footballer Robbie Talbot.<\/p>\n
Ms Flanagan maintains close ties with her former Coronation Street colleagues, describing them as family rather than mere co-workers.<\/p>\n
