Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan announces she's pregnant with her third child

From Good Housekeeping

Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has announced she's pregnant with her third child. The Rosie Webster actress revealed the news on Monday night (21 September), sharing a series of family photos.

Helen already has two daughters, Matilda and Delilah, with her footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair.

As the family posed for the images, Matilda and Delilah held ultrasound photos of their future brother or sister. The actress captioned the post: "Our 3rd baby arriving March 2021."

Previously, Helen told The Mirror that she'd dreamt of having four children, but will most likely stop at three.

"I've always said four but that will probably be too much, so I'll say three," she said. "When you have two children, you just love them equally. I would love a girl or boy as long as they're healthy, you're just lucky to carry a baby aren't you?"

Helen and Scott have been together since 2009 and got engaged in May 2018. The couple had previously planned to get married this year, but decided to postpone as they didn't want to clash with her younger sister's wedding. For obvious reasons, they may now have to wait even longer to tie the knot.

Towards the end of 2019, Helen said she was unsure when she'd return to Corrie, having left the soap in 2018 to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her second child.

At the time, she told the Daily Star Sunday that she was enjoying spending time with her family too much to be able to go back to the soap just yet.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV.
