Newly-single Helen Flanagan turns heads in a glamorous gold midi dress

Helen Flanagan turned heads in a glamorous ensemble as she stepped out for dinner at MNKY HSE Bar and Restaurant in Manchester on Wednesday evening.

The newly-single actress, 32, who split from her footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair in October, made sure all eyes were on her in a gold midi dress.

Former Coronation Street star Helen showed off her sense of style in the figure-hugging number which featured an animal print design. 

The beauty boosted her height with strappy black heels and toted a sleek Dior handbag as she made her way out of the swanky eatery.

Helen wore her blonde tresses swept back in a sleek bun and opted for a typically glamorous makeup look complete with a slick of pink lip. 

She kept her accessories to a minimum to let the sexy dress do all the talking and simply wore a delicate gold necklace as she strutted her stuff down the pavement. 

It comes after it emerged Helen will reunite with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair at Christmas.

The television personality – who recently joked about ‘how to lose a guy in 10 days following the break-up –  will be with the Bristol Rovers footballer, 33, and their three children – daughters Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and son Charlie, 17 months – and although she is ‘not open’ to the idea of them getting back together, wants to have a harmonious relationship.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Scott is a professional footballer so often he won’t be around on Christmas day because of his fixtures list however Helen and Scott are planning something special for the children.’

The source continued: ‘Helen is not open to talk of reconciliation and she just wants them to focus on being co-parents.’

Recently, Helen took to Instagram to rage about how ‘annoyed’ it makes her to be shamed by strangers when she is out and about with her little ones.

Helen told her social media followers: ‘I’m quite good I think at controlling my emotions, I’m quite busy, but I always have emotional outbursts when I’m due on…’

The blonde beauty didn’t go into detail about what triggered her but remained steadfast in her determination to live her life and go ‘where I want’.

Helen added: ‘This is like a long story short, but I get, I was really annoyed last week because I won’t go into too much detail but basically I hate it when mums are made to feel uncomfortable in kind of like I don’t know…

‘I didn’t have Matilda young but youngish and I’ve always gone everywhere with my kids, like flown with them, trains, hotels and I’ve just literally always gone where I want to go.

‘I just don’t like it when you get people who basically are being rubbish towards you because you’ve got kids and you’re a mum, basically giving you the evils.’
