Helen Flanagan addresses wearing a ring following split from fiancé Scott Sinclair

Coronation Street's Helen Flanagan has addressed why she still wears a ring after calling off her engagement to longtime flame Scott Sinclair last year.

The actress, who's best known for playing Rosie Webster on the ITV soap, had fans wondering if she had rekindled her relationship with Scott after they were recently spotted holidaying in Dubai together with their three children.

The rumours were further fuelled when eagle-eyed fans noticed that Helen was still wearing what appeared to be her engagement ring.

However, Helen responded to the rumours in a new Instagram Story, confirming that she and Scott are not back together.

During her recent flight to Tenerife, Helen posted a photo of herself holding up a copy of Carol Vorderman's Sudoku book, captioning it: "Love you @carolvorders."

The former I'm a Celebrity contestant went on to explain why she still wears her ring, adding: "I always wear [my ring] as I find it a comfort as I'm used to having a rock on my finger."

Scott proposed to Helen at Disneyland back in 2018, and Helen revealed in September 2022 that they had finally set a date for the big day.

"I have set a date. I'm so picky. I finally found my wedding venue," she told The Mirror at the time.

"I don't want to give it away, but basically everybody wants this venue. I think what it is as well is me and Scott have been together for so long. We've been together for 13 years now."

While it looked like their wedding plans were finally moving forward, news of Helen and Scott's split emerged shorty afterwards.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
