Helen Flanagan is throwing her energy into her acting career following her split from fiancé Scott Sinclair – and has even set her sights on making it big in Hollywood, we can reveal. “Helen is open to the idea of going to Los Angeles for acting roles,” a source told us. “She’d be great over there and she definitely has the look for America.
She has some good American contacts and there’s a lot of interest.” Helen, 32, quit playing Coronation Street’s Rosie Webster in 2018 to focus on her family. She’s now mum to Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, two this week. But our source says the star, who called it a day with footballer Scott in October, is now set on making acting a priority.
“She really wants to focus on her career this year and wants to feel a bit more in control of it,” the source said. “She loved her time on Coronation Street and she’s always said the door is open for her to go back. But right now, she wants to try something different and widen her horizons in LA.” The source added, “She’d like to get involved in a gritty role.
She’d be open to a film role, or there’s talk of potentially doing something with Netflix.” While being a mum will always come first, Helen wouldn’t rule out relocating to the US. “It is difficult to get up and move as a mum with three young children, but Helen thinks it might be easier to do it now while they are younger,” added the source. “Her children are her priority, but following her split from Scott, she’s doing something for herself and wants to think about her next career move.
