Since her split from Scott, Helen has been undergoing a makeover with a series of treatments and “tweakments” – most recently £400 in skin jabs.
She also had a romance with a new man, Robbie Talbot, which ended earlier this year after a year together.
Now, two months after splitting from Robbie – Helen was ready to talk about what’s next when it comes to dating.
She said: “I’m done with men for the time being.”
Helen explained that after everything that happened over the last year, she now wants to focus on her family and career reports OK! Magazine.
She said: “I’m concentrating on the kids, work, moving house and being with my friends.
“I’m actually quite sensitive and to be honest, I struggle with dating a bit.
“I feel like there’s always something with men. So right now I want to be single and keep my peace a little bit, you know?”
Perhaps Helen’s split with Robbie has put her of dating?
But Helen explained that’s not the case: “Robbie was very sweet and very kind. He was older than me and he cared about me.
“I’ve had a lot of struggles with relationships, first with the father of my kids, and I then dated an idiot for quite a while after that.
“But Robbie was more mature and emotionally supportive, and he was very, very funny. I had a really nice time with him.
“And listen, sometimes relationships just don’t work long term. We both knew it was coming before I ended it.
“But I like to think something good always comes out of these things.”
Helen has also set the record straight about her finances as she shared the sad reason why she has decided to sell her eight-bedroom £1million Cheshire mansion.
“I’m not in a financial crisis. I’m moving because I really need a fresh start,’ she told OK! Magazine.
“Scott surprised me with this house and it was always supposed to be our happy family home, and it wasn’t that.
“I like to be light-hearted and I hate to sound depressing, but there is a sadness in this house.”
The former soap star admitted it had been ‘a turbulent three years’ and that she wanted to start fresh with her children.
Helen hopes to move to London eventually, but for now, they are planning to stay where they are to avoid disrupting her kids’ education.
However, the soap star admitted that she will struggle to downsize from her lavish eight-bedroom house.
Helen put the six-bedroom property on the market for £1.5million but in June she slashed more than £300,000 off the price.
The couple, who have three children together, bought the property at Belmont, near Bolton, in June 2021 for £840,000.
It has five reception rooms, six bathrooms and six bedrooms including two en-suites.
The house is situated on the edge of moors and is said to have “breath-taking views”.
Recently, Helen confidently clapped back at mum-shamers after being brutally trolled for posing in sexy lingerie.
Just days after the 34-year-old actress posed in a sheer corset, thong, fishnet stockings and suspenders, the mum-of-three has now responded to haters who slammed her as “embarrassing.”
