Helen Flanagan has put her ‘forever home’ on the market for £1.5 million after seemingly losing most of her multi-million pound fortune.
And it looks as though the actress will have to wave goodbye to her incredible designer-filled wardrobe filled with glamorous accessories from the likes of Chanel and YSL.
It comes after the star admitted she was having to sell her home after she was left ‘broke’ following her split from her ex fiancé Scott Sinclair and claimed that she barely had enough money to pay a £10 cab fare to get her son Charlie, three, to nursery.
And a few days ago the six-bedroom detached property, situated in a village on the outskirts of Bolton, hit the market.
The three-floored property is spread over 5,000 square feet and is an ‘exceptional and beautifully presented detached family resident’.
However while Helen has recently fallen on hard times, one of the bedroom’s living room is full of designer handbags – including Chanel and YSL – trendy clothes and shoes, ‘which really gives it the wow factor’, according to the listing.

If it sells for anywhere near asking price, the former Coronation Street star will gain a substantial profit on the £840,000 paid for it in June 2021, according to land registry docs.
The mystery is who will keep the profit, as land registry docs seen by the Daily Mail in January reveal that its registered with her ex-partner, footballer Scott.
Judging from the estate agent’s photos, it appears Helen is still living there with her three children as their bedrooms are full of their belongings.
In the living room can be seen, a grand piano and there are also six bathrooms as well as a bespoke kitchen and breakfast bar with underfloor heating throughout.
Two of the bedrooms also have their own en-suite bathrooms and living rooms.
After splitting from Scott, Helen claimed in a court appearance for a speeding offence that she was ‘really struggling financially’ after raking in a fortune from Corrie and lucrative appearances on reality shows.
MailOnline can reveal that last year her personal company’s net income was £75,616, just over £5,000 more than her 2023 earnings.
Last year her firm HJF Darling Ltd had retaining earnings of £75,615, which is an increase of £5,545 on the previous year. Retained earnings are the firm’s net income minus all expenses and dividends.
Yet it also paid £58,549 in taxation and social security, which is usually VAT, PAYE and NI, so it suggests that Helen is still earning a decent enough wage.

The accounts also reveal that Helen was forced to get rid of her only staff member last year as she is the only director/employee of the firm now.
Despite claiming that she was skint to the courts in January and needed her car to ferry her three kids around, magistrates still banned her from driving for six months.
She said: ‘I’m a single mum, I live in the middle of the moors.’
She said her ‘job really is being a mum at home’ and she had ‘enough money in my account to pay off my tax and my VAT and basically that’s about it’ – later adding that she has ‘enough money to pay my taxes, pay the mortgage and for a bit of tea’.
Confirming she would be selling the property a month ago on The Declutter Hub podcast with Ingrid Jansen and Lesley Spellman, she insisted she was ‘down to earth’ but that moving would be hard.
She also revealed that despite the house already being on the market she doesn’t know where she will move to next – admitting London might be too expensive.
Helen co-parents kids Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, with ex Scott but is now in a relationship with new boyfriend Robbie Talbot who lives in Liverpool, where his two children are based.
She said of the future move: ‘We are selling the house now which will be nice to have a change. Because I was with Scott for so long I was used to moving house a lot (because he is a footballer) so it’s normal for me.

Helen previously said: ‘When we move I will struggle to downsize – I don’t want to not sounds down to earth. Bu it will feel weird. It will be more manageable for me’
‘I could now never stay in one place for too long I don’t think. I like a change, I love it.’
She added: ‘It makes me sad that I am going to be leaving this house soon because I have put so much effort into it.
‘I put loads of my savings into making it look really beautiful. It’s eight bedrooms which is hard to keep on top of – it’s a lot.
‘When we move I will struggle to downsize – I don’t want to not sounds down to earth. Bu it will feel weird. It will be more manageable for me.
‘I don’t know where I want to live next. I’ve always wanted to live in London but there is such a price difference there. But it would be amazing for work and I do want a change. It’s been a heavy few years for me so it will be a lovely fresh change.’
