Helen Flanagan admitted "all I knows is chaos" as she reflected on being a single mum. The mum-of-three opened up on single motherhood during an appearance on Charlotte Dawson's Naughty Corner podcast. Helen shares Matilda, seven, Delilah, five, and Charlie, three, with her ex-fiancé footballer Scott Sinclair.
"The school run was so stressful this morning. So, so, so stressful," the Celebs Go Dating star revealed. “I got Matilda and Deliah’s reports back and all it said was ‘so many lates’.
It’s so hard. “If I’m being really honest, my kids run absolute rings around me. They go to bed about 11pm/midnight, even on a school night.
I had Matilda when I was 24, and I’ve had baby after baby, so all I know is chaos from the moment I open my eyes.” Helen admitted her life as a single mum and her children's upbringing is very different to her own childhood. She said: “I remember when I was younger we would go to museums and do crafts, and I'd go to church and things.
My children, sometimes Matilda has to have the iPad and eat popcorn while I’m doing my Ann Summers Halloween content.” Reflecting on moving forward with her love life, the Coronation Street star revealed there's one thing she would not accept in a new relationship. She explained: "I am a single mum.
It is absolute chaos but I would never change it for the world because I love them so much. I could never, ever, ever have another relationship where I could be bickering. I haven’t got another arg.
