She played hell-raiser Rosie Webster in Coronation Street since 2000, and after she quit the role in 2012 participated in the twelfth series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, where she finished in seventh place out of the 12 celebrities competing.
In October last year she moved her things from her home in Swansea, Wales,into her Sinclair's £6,500 a month Cheshire mansion.
The expensive home is situated in Prestbury, Cheshire, an affluent area that is well populated with other Premier League footballers.
The surroundings are a far cry from the more humble settings Helen and Scott were used to in Swansea, Wales, where they lived together for just over a year before moving out in August last year.
The couple spent most of September living in a suite at the Radisson Blu Edwardian in Manchester.
It has been a tough year for Flanagan.
She faced a public backlash during her stint on 'I'm A Celebrity', where the public kept voting for her to endure Bushtucker trials.

After getting jobs in a supermarket to fund their dream, the duo decide their plan isn't panning out quickly enough and decide to hold-up their place of work to get enough money for the bike.
Helen plays 'supercool chick' and blonde bombshell Rachel Roberts, the object of affection for the group of teenage boys.
Described as a 'warm and funny film about growing up', Fizzy Days also stars This Is England’s Stephen Graham and Shameless stars Jody Latham and James Drefus.
