Helen Flanagan has left her former home near Bolton with her children this week and marked the move with an emotional Instagram video of the family smiling, hugging and saying goodbye to the house. Flanagan, who shares three children with Scott Sinclair, wrote that she was leaving their beautiful home after living there through the years that followed their split.
The departure closes a move she said had been underway since early last year. Flanagan and Sinclair split in 2022 after 13 years together, and she had initially lived in the eight-bedroom house with him before they separated. On Instagram, she showed Matilda, Delilah and Charlie inside the house and told followers it had always been just the four of them there, adding that she felt she had really found herself in the property.
Flanagan had bought the home five years ago, and she had spoken before about why she was leaving. In August, she said she was not selling because of financial difficulties, pushing back on that idea with the line, “That’s not why I’m selling.” She said then that she was moving because she really needed a fresh start and that Sinclair had surprised her with the house, which was meant to be their happy family home.
That history matters because the property was never just a house sale. Flanagan has described the eight-bedroom home as a place that carried both family memories and strain, saying she was not in a financial crisis and that there was sadness in it. She also said the home was hard to keep on top of, a detail that fits the wider reality of how she and Sinclair have been living since their separation, co-parenting while at opposite ends of the country.
Her goodbye post made the personal stakes plain. Flanagan wrote that there were no words for how much she loved her babies and said her relationships with all three children would always be her priority, to her last breath. Fans responded with messages wishing her good luck in her new home, but the central point of the move is already clear: after a long and public transition, Flanagan has finally left the house she once saw as the family base and is starting again elsewhere with Matilda, Delilah and Charlie. Her next step was underscored by a recent summer photoshoot after moving out from the Scott Sinclair home, a sign that she is already reshaping daily life around the move.
