Mourning your relationship? Helen Flanagan

She has neither confirmed nor denied reports that her tempestuous relationship with footballer Scott Sinclair is over for good.
But when Helen Flanagan stepped out on Wednesday her outfit seemed to say it all, as the usually brightly dressed star opted for all black – a colour associated with those in mourning.
The former Coronation Street actress looked forlorn as she took to the streets of Manchester alone while keeping uncharacteristically quiet about the state of her relationship.

Dark: Helen Flanagan stepped out wearing all black on Wednesday as it has been reported she has split from Scott Sinclair 

While she may have seemed a little down in the dumps she still maintained her usual very glamorous look.

She wore a pair of skintight black jeans with a large black shawl draped around her shoulders.
Giving herself extra height she wore a pair of very high black heels, which were open toe – perfect for the warmer weather.

Quiet: Helen has not confirmed or denied that her relationship is over

Retail therapy: It looked as if Helen had tried to cheer herself up by buying  a few goodies and was seen with shopping bags

Her blonde hair was worn off her face in her favourite style – a top knot – and she completed her look with a white Chanel handbag.
Helen was seen carrying a number of shopping bags a little later, perhaps purchasing a few items to make her feel better.
Laden with bags though, the star didn’t look any happier and kept her head down using her shawl for comfort.

Distracted: Helen spent time looking on her phone as she walked along perhaps waiting for a text 

The 22-year-old was staring intently at her phone perhaps waiting for Scott to call or maybe texting friends or family for support. 
The blonde has spoken out to close friends about the relationship, saying: 'It is over for good this time.'
A pal told the paper: 'Helen and Scott break up every other week. It is something all of her friends have got used to. But the fact that she’s told close pals it’s all over is a new step.'

Glamorous: While she may have looked upset she still managed to look very glamorous in skintight jeans and heels

Last Thursday the star wrote a cryptic tweet, which alluded to the end of her relationship: 'New chapter got to be happy xxx.'
Reports that the couple were on the rocks emerged back in January, after Helen's 'clingy' behaviour allegedly put a strain on the relationship.
A source told The Mirror: ‘Things are extremely strained. It looks as though it might have run its course.

Head down: Helen appeared remarkably camera shy as she left the shops while looking at her phone 

‘They were happy in Swansea, but after the move, whenever Scott went out, Helen would demand to know where he was at all times.’
Helen and Scott met back in 2009 while she was playing Rosie Webster in Coronation Street and he played for Wigan Athletic.
Helen's representative has been contacted by MailOnline for comment.

Designer: Not only was Helen carrying a Chanel handbag but she also had a couple of bags from Harvey Nichols
