HELEN Flanagan gets in a festive frame of mind after spending Christmas away from her children.
The former Corrie star, 35, wore a revealing black dress as she enjoyed a night out with pals in Liverpool.
She is currently in the city starring as the Wicked Queen in panto.
It meant children Matilda, ten, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, four, spent Christmas with their dad, Helen’s footballer ex Scott Sinclair, 36.
Helen, who split from him in 2022 after 13 years, said: “Not having your kids on Christmas Eve feels so unnatural when you’re a mummy.
“I ended up having a really nice Christmas with my family and my friends, of course I missed them but it’s not about me it’s about the children and I have always encouraged a relationship with their father.
“Sending love to all of those that ‘co parent’. I hate calling it that over Christmas, it’s not easy.”
In a new TikTok video, Helen was seen having a thoughtful moment while snuggled up in bed.
Helen donned heart-print pyjamas and brushed her blonde hair into a fuss-free up do.
She perched her head on her hand before she blew a kiss to the camera.
Helen’s online fans were quick to show her TikTok video some love and one wrote: “Well we saw you at the Liverpool panto on Christmas Eve so thanks for making our day so magical from another single parent x”
Another posted: “I know this… I hate it. Stay strong. Home is mum x”
A third wrote: “Well done you, I’ve done it for 6/7 years now, it’s not easy but it’s not about us, it’s about relationships with parents/siblings, your kids will appreciate it when their older.”
One praised the star and said: “What a top mam putting ur kids first as they should be, enjoy your turn next year with them x”
