Helen Flanagan hinted at a potential return to the Cobbles as she admitted she ‘misses the excitement’ of working on the soap.

The actress, 34, who is best known for playing Rosie Webster in the ITV programme, quit the show in 2018 when she welcomed her third child with her ex-partner Scott Sinclair.

And now, speaking of her time on screen, she told The Sun: ‘It really was such an incredible experience and it really shaped me as well.’

‘I think I’ll always kind of miss it, and I think it’s almost having that excitement in your life, I’ve had that from such a young age I don’t actually know any different.

‘So all I’ve known since from being like a young age is either kind of being an actress or being in the public.’

The actress was on the soap for more then two decades after being cast in her role as Rosie Webster at just ten years old.

Helen first appeared on screens as Rosie in 2000, staying for twelve years before leaving and then making a comeback in 2017.

She then went on maternity leave in 2018 but never reprised her role, although she has spoken out on multiple occasions about wanting to.

In 2023, speaking to MailOnline, Helen said: ‘Yeah, totally. I mean, I’d love to go back to Coronation Street at one point. 

‘Like, I really, really, really would. But it’s just timing, you know, everything’s about my kids.’ 

She added: ‘I really want Rosie to come back a mum. I want to go back and like cause some chaos.’

‘I wanted to like kind of palm Sally off with with her grandchild the whole time and yeah, I want her to come back.’

Helen and Scott, 35, split in 2022 after thirteen years together, four of which they were engaged. As well as Matilda, nine, they share Delilah, six, and Charlie, three.
