Helen Flanagan rants about loss of her driving license after being banned for speeding before revealing she and ex Scott Sinclair are back 'co-parenting in the same house' despite bitter split
ranted about the loss of her driving license and numerous parenting woes in a chaotic social media post on Thursday, five months after she was banned for speeding. The ex Corrie actress, 34, who in January t old the court ex-footballer boyfriend Robbie Talbot was driving her £66,000 Audi Q7 when it was caught speeding twice, complained what a 'pain in the a***' it had been without a car and had been unable to run errands or go shopping for essentials due to living so remotely. Helen was banned from the road for six months, despite claiming she was struggling financially and would not be able to afford taxis to get her children to school. Taking to her Instagram Stories she explained her ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) had caused her to mix up paperwork to reapply for her licence, meaning the process would now be delayed further. 'I literally can't tell you what a pain in the a*** not having [my driving licence] because I live in the middle of nowhere, and of course I have't been driving'. 'It's just been so b****y annoying, for example we are out of loo roll now and I can't pop out to the shops to get loo roll so my friend has to bring me loo roll'. She also revealed that she an ex Scott Sinclair, with whom she shares, Matlida, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie three, were back 'co-parenting in the same house' despite their bitter split. Helen, who has been forced to put their former £1.5M family home on the market, split from the footballer, 36, in 2022 after 13 years and earlier this month took a vicious swipe at him ahead of Father's Day. Explaining the situation she said: 'So it's Matilda's birthday and Delilah's birthday, they had the same due date, and there is seven days between their birthdays and that's like hectic. 'So Scott is off at football but we are back co-parenting in the same house, which we don't usually do,'. Taking a deep breath she continued: 'But it actually went OK, so obviously we have to do that because it's the kids birthdays'. In court Helen said her isolated moorland home meant it was a 10-minute drive even to go to the shops to buy bread and milk, and that she would 'really struggle without a car' in the remote location. The actress, who lives near Bolton, Greater Manchester, said she earned £70,000 last year – but said her income varies and that she could not afford a £10 taxi to take her son to nursery. Prosecutor Stephen Kirk told how Helen, who already had six penalty points for speeding, failed to declare who had been driving the car when it was caught speeding at locations on Merseyside in June last year, doing 42mph in a 30mph limit and 51mph in a 40mph limit. Earlier this month the stunner set pulses racing in sexy black lingerie before taking a swipe at Scott. Helen's eye popping lace outfit boasted a bra that barely contained her surgically enhanced assets, with matching knickers, stockings and suspenders. Taking to her Instagram Stories Helen shared a meme which read: 'What are you getting your baby daddy for Father's day' alongside a clip of Whitney Houston dramatically singing 'nothing' in a scene 1992 film The Bodyguard. On her failed romance with ex Scott, Helen revealed she was the one to call time on their relationship. She said they 'were always quietly breaking up and then getting back together' until one day she called it quits for good. Helen told The Sun: 'In the end, it was me who decided [to break up]. I'll always be sad it didn't work out, and we still have love for each other, but we're happier apart.' Speaking to Charlotte Dawson on her Naughty Corner podcast, Helen said: 'I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don't like each other. 'We don't like each other at all, we don't get on. I do know that Scott - he'd never admit it - cares about me too and he does love me. Taking to her Instagram Stories Helen shared a meme which read: 'What are you getting your baby daddy for Father's day' alongside a clip of Whitney Houston dramatically singing 'nothing 'But I'm so done, I could never have another relationship again where we would always be bickering. I haven't got another argument in me. As women we try and do anything we can to make it work with the father of your children and I did. But I think for me if I was in a relationship with someone else it would have to be easy because I haven't got the energy in me again, I've done all that with the father of my kids.' Helen went onto say co-parenting is 'hilarious' as she revealed the pair try and avoid each other so they don't 'argue' in front of their kids. She continued: 'I've been a single mum for two years now. Co-parenting is hilarious, we were together for 13 years. 'The last time I saw him, I thought it was quite funny, I was taking the p*** out of him because he had a bucket hat on. I think he was trying not to laugh. 'He lives in Bath and I live in North Manchester so its about five hours and we meet in Birmingham to exchange things and the kids. 'He's throwing things in my boot and I just started taking the mickey out of his bucket hat to lighten the mood. 'We just try and not be in the same house together because the children are the priority and I want a good environment for them and I don't want them to see us arguing.'

VergeIO-Backed ESG Research Reveals Four Forces Driving Urgent Infrastructure Modernization
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New research sponsored by VergeIO and conducted by Informa TechTarget's Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), titled Private AI, Virtualization, and Cloud: Transforming the Future of Infrastructure Modernization, reveals a dramatic shift in how organizations approach IT infrastructure strategy. The study, which surveyed 380 midmarket and enterprise IT professionals across North America, identified four primary forces accelerating the need for infrastructure modernization: virtualization market disruption, rising cloud costs, the operational impact of AI, and a persistent shortage of skilled IT personnel. According to ESG, 54% of organizations are actively investigating or planning to replace their primary hypervisor, a significant figure given VMware's historically dominant market share. The study also shows that 76% of organizations are re-evaluating their cloud strategies in response to cost pressures, and more than 60% are actively scaling their infrastructure to support on-premises AI initiatives. 'These four pressures are converging at a time when IT teams are already stretched thin,' said Scott Sinclair, Practice Director at ESG. 'What organizations need now is not just a cloud-like experience or an alternative to legacy vendors—they need simplicity, predictability, and architectural leverage. Solutions like VergeOS are designed to deliver exactly that.' The findings align with VergeIO's latest white paper, Four Forces Accelerating Infrastructure Modernization, which explores how organizations are compressing their IT planning horizons in response to these external pressures. The paper positions VergeOS as a unified software-defined platform capable of replacing legacy virtualization stacks, reducing complexity, and enabling both traditional and AI workloads within the same environment. 'Most organizations don't have the luxury of rebuilding from scratch, and they can't afford to wait,' said Yan Ness, CEO of VergeIO. 'VergeOS was designed to meet this moment. It eliminates silos, simplifies operations, and restores control—without forcing customers into disruptive re-platforming.' VergeIO was one of the sponsors of the ESG research, which is available now exclusively from VergeIO to industry leaders exploring modernization options. The company will be hosting a webinar on June 26th at 1:00 PM ET, featuring Scott Sinclair and George Crump in a live discussion on the future of data center infrastructure.

It was initially on the market for £1.5 million, but it's been dropped by £305,000 - a steep fall of 20 per cent with a new asking price of £1.19million. The three-floored home, spanning over 5,000 square feet, was put on the market in the middle of May.

According to the brochure, two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and living rooms - one of which is full of designer handbags, clothes and shoes, 'which really gives it the wow factor'. Helen recently 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. 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. 'I could now never stay in one place for too long I don't think. I like a change, I love it.'

EXCLUSIVE Helen Flanagan drops asking price of luxury mansion by a massive £305k less than a month after putting it on the market for £1.5M - as she parties in Ibiza despite financial difficulties
Helen Flanagan has dramatically slashed the sale price of her luxury mansion less than a month after putting it on the market due to financial difficulties. The former Coronation Street star, 34, has admitted that she's 'really struggling financially' after making a fortune from appearing in the soap and various reality TV shows. And Helen has now reduced the asking price of her six bedroom detached home on the outskirts of Bolton. It was initially on for £1.5 million, but it's been dropped to £1,195,000 - a steep fall of 20 per cent. The three-floored home, spanning over 5,000 square feet, was put on the market in the middle of May. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Depending on the size of the mortgage, Helen could still be set for a tidy windfall as she bought it with her ex partner, footballer Scott Sinclair, for £840,000 in June 2021. According to the brochure, two of the bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms and living rooms - one of which is full of designer handbags, clothes and shoes, 'which really gives it the wow factor'. Despite her money problems, the mum-of-three made the most of her newly single status as she partied in Ibiza with Wayne Lineker and Dean Gaffney after splitting from boyfriend Robbie Talbot. Helen had previously hinted at wanting more children with the former non-league footballer. However, friends now claim the she had a change of heart, according to The Sun, and she told Robbie their relationship 'wasn't working.' A source told the publication: 'They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids. 'She sat him down two weeks ago and said, ''This isn't working''. She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him.' After splitting from Scott, Helen claimed in a court appearance for a speeding offence that she was 'really struggling financially' after raking in over £1M from her TV and modelling career. Despite claiming that she was broke 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'. Yet Helen is currently living it up in Ibiza as she showed off her ample assets in a black bikini top and appeared to be having a great time at the O Beach Ibiza resort in snaps shared on Instagram Helen shared a snap of herself smiling with Wayne, who gave her a cheeky kiss on the forehead. 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. '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.'
