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.
Helen Flanagan reveals she feels 'overwhelmed' as she opens up about parenting struggles
"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'.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz renew wedding vows amid bitter family feud
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows just three years after they first tied the knot amid the ongoing feud with David and Victoria Beckham It has been months since news emerged that the Beckham family were going through a troubled time as Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz noticeably distanced themselves from the clan. But it looks as though the public family feud has done little to dampen the couple's love for one another as they have just renewed their vows after three years. A source close to the couple reportedly confirmed the news of their renewed nuptials to the People magazine. The source said: "This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together." This comes after the touching moment Lucy Bronze consoles rumoured girlfriend and rival Ona Batlle. Brooklyn, 26, who is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, first started dating the Hollywood heiress in 2019 and announced they were engaged the following year. In what has been described as one of the most expensive weddings to date, the couple became husband and wife in April 2022, at Nicola's sprawling family estate in Florida. It was only a few months ago that the aspiring chef posted on social media to reflect on the moment he proposed to Nicola. Sharing a picture of them together, with Brooklyn kissing Nicola's cheek, he captioned the post saying: "It's been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much." At the time of their third wedding anniversary, neither Victoria or David publicly wished their son or daughter-in-law a happy anniversary. The growing feud between them appeared even more evident as neither the former Spice Girl or England footballer liked or commented on Brooklyn's anniversary post. Further fuelling speculation that the rift had impacted Brooklyn's siblings, it was reported that none of his brothers, Romeo and Cruz had mentioned anything in respect of their brother's anniversary. Back in April, Brooklyn posted a throwback picture of him and his wife on their wedding day and captioned the message saying: "Happy 3 year anniversary baby x I love you with all my heart x I'm so lucky I get to spend everyday with you and wake up to your beautiful face everyday you are my world x I love you so much Nicola xxxxxxx." The family feud appeared to gather pace when Brooklyn failed to attend his father's 50th birthday party in May, which, according to reports, left David heartbroken. It also emerged that neither Nicola or Brooklyn were following his brother's Instagram accounts. But according to the publication, sources revealed that it was in fact Cruz and Romeo who have blocked Brooklyn.

Paldem review – Industry's David Jonsson brings the sexual tension in OnlyFans drama
Kevin and Megan are friends who reap the benefits when a one-night stand is accidentally caught on camera. It captures them at it and she (Natasha Cowley) likes the outcome. 'We're hot,' she says to him (Michael Workeye), watching back the footage. So their pornographic OnlyFans account is born, providing homemade sex videos and an income stream. Written by David Jonsson, an actor and Bafta Rising Star who has appeared in Industry and Rye Lane, this debut is one of the most anticipated offerings of the fringe. Directed by Zi Alikhan, who has also worked on Industry, it is an adventurous setup but its central sexual drama does not quite come off. Part of the problem is that it is handled too gingerly rather than fully penetrated, as it were. So it is too restrained, its drama and ideas not fully realised. The dialogue is vibrant but unnatural as the couple repartee in witty one-liners. There are growing tensions in their relationship but you do not access its emotional complexity – need, desire, resentment, maybe even love. There is not enough context either and too much is left unspoken: Kevin is a photographer but beyond that we learn little about him, and even less about Megan. The OnlyFans storyline in itself has potential but goes nowhere. The set looks like a living room cum photographic studio, with a screen on which videoed images are projected. There is a strange kind of sterility when the sex scenes are enacted. It is maybe an encapsulation of the awkwardness of homemade pornography. Still, we are told that this couple has great sex yet there are few fireworks between them. Things become more amusing when another couple joins the fray but this also flips the tone into satire, so it seems. There are a few other illuminating glimmers: Kevin says he enjoys watching Megan watching him enjoying himself on screen ('circles of desire'). It is a good observation. But not enough is carried through. Racial tensions between the couple come flooding in at the end, too late and truncated. There is great potential here nonetheless. If this play could find a better focus, it might just have something. At Summerhall, Edinburgh, until 25 August All our Edinburgh festival reviews
