Helen Flanagan, a star of Coronation Street, has told about the terrifying day she mistook her daughter Matilda for someone else when visiting the grocery store.
The Rosie Webster actress, a mother to Charlie, 2, Matilda, 7, and Delilah, 4, told new! magazine that it was “the longest 60 seconds ever.”
She explained the situation by saying, “I must have turned my back for a moment.
“I distinctly recall having this awful, sinking feeling.” I normally keep an eye on my kids, but for a moment I couldn’t see her. Nothing is worse than that; it is the worst sensation imaginable.
She continued, stating, “They are good with that but you need eyes in the back of your head.” She also advised her children to keep near to her.
And when asked if mothers should be more “conscious” when it comes to raising their children, she responded, “Yeah, for me my children are very precious.” She added, “Oh I don’t know if I want to answer that in case what I say is controversial.
Late last year, Helen and footballer Scott Sinclair broke off their engagement, although they are still co-parenting their kids.
The 32-year-old revealed her intentions for the future in an interview with OK! Magazine earlier this year, saying: “There’s still loads I need to do on the house.” I handled everything on my own.
And all I want is for my kids to be happy and for myself to be healthy.
I’ll wait and see what transpires.
And after recently placing seventh on I’m A Celebrity All Stars, which brought back a number of old campmates to South Africa, she has hinted that she would eventually return to Coronation Street.
She said, “There have been discussions with Corrie, and there are talks of a play quite locally, which is nice.”
“At the moment it wouldn’t work because Charlie is still young and everything has been so hectic, but I would love to go back,” she said.
“I’d love to channel that, and I’d like to see Rosie become a mother.”
“I’d love for her to return with a child that she hadn’t told Sally about; Sally would make a wonderful grandmother,” I said.
