Helen Flanagan is reportedly being pressured by her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair to leave their former six-bedroom family home, leading to warnings that their feud could escalate without intervention. The couple, who share three children—Matilda (10), Deliah (7), and Charlie (4)—split in 2022 after a 13-year relationship and a four-year engagement. Communication between Helen and Scott has reportedly broken down, with relatives now relaying messages, a situation a psychotherapist notes indicates significant strain.
Scott Sinclair, who owns the home, allegedly wants Helen to downsize, citing the large property as unsustainable for her and the children. He has reportedly offered to purchase a smaller, four-bedroom home for her and put it in her name, but wants to cease maintenance payments on the current residence. Helen, however, is resistant to moving, valuing the home's proximity to her parents, the children's established schooling, and the overall stability it provides. The home was initially listed for £1.5 million but was later reduced to £995,000.
The tension between the former couple recently surfaced publicly when Helen criticized Scott on social media for missing their son Charlie's nativity play while he attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. A psychotherapist suggested that such public expressions of frustration can stem from feelings of being unheard, especially after the breakdown of a long-term relationship with young children, where practical issues like housing can become highly emotional. The expert added that without intervention, this dynamic risks becoming the "new normal" and that the conflict over the house is likely about deeper issues than just the property itself.
