HELEN Flanagan’s love life has taken a happy turn in recent weeks.

The former Coronation Street actress is back together with footballer Scott Sinclair following their split last summer.

The pair went their separate ways in June 2013, but Helen has insisted they never properly broke up.

“Me and scott are back together, so that’s nice,” she told OK! online when we caught up with her at the The Super Car Rally launch for Pure Rally last night.

“Even when we broke up we were kind of still together in a way; we were still trying to work things through, so it wasn’t like a massive break up where you don’t speak to each other and you’re seeing someone else,” she continued.

Adding: “We were still seeing each other and trying to sort things through. It’s just better because we’ve both had time to grow up.

And the 23-year-old, who moved in with her man in Birmingham on Monday, is clearly happy to have sorted things out with Scott before Valentine’s Day.

She told us: “I’m quite lucky. My boyfriend’s very romantic and makes a really big effort.

“He’s always really lovely and gets nice presents and he’s really sweet and romantic,” she gushed.

So will we be hearing wedding bells any time soon? Probably not.

“I’m more maternal, I want babies more. Obviously I’d like to get married one day, but I just like babies more,” Helen revealed.
