Before the announcement, Helen told The Sun that she was preparing to spent Christmas without her kids and said it would be "difficult".
The mum-of-three, who shares Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and son Charlie, four, with ex Scott Sinclair, opened up about co-parenting.
She told The Sun in a recent interview: "It's really difficult. I won't have the kids for Christmas this year because it's such hard work because me and Scott, he's from Bath and I live in North Manchester, so we co-parent five hours away. Really hard work.
"And we've done this since Charlie's been born because he was played for Bristol.
"But we're very fair, and I try to be fair with Scott, and he tries to be fair with me. So this Christmas, I won't have the kids."

But Helen admitted she struggles to be apart from her kids as her and Scott take it in turns over Christmas.
I remember the first Christmas, I didn't have the kids. I did say to Scott, look, you have the kids for Christmas, I want to take them to New Year for Bali.
"And I just said to my friends, it'll be fine, it'll be fine.
But I hated it.
"But the Christmas just gone I had them, and I absolutely loved it.
"But I know that this Christmas, it's going to be the same where he has them away.
"So I've taken on a job to keep me busy.
"I'll do something in November - a really nice long weekend then I feel like I've had my Christmas period with them.
"It'll be a distraction for me. But I don't think co-parenting is easy. I think it's definitely a journey."
Helen and Scott split in 2022 after being together for 13 years.

Father Ted star Pauline McLynn joins Coronation Street
Irish actress Pauline McLynn has been cast in Coronation Street as part of a new family who will run local pub the Rovers Return Inn. Catherine Tyldesley's character Eva Price, who was last seen on the show in 2018, will return alongside her latest partner and his mother, who are both new to the cobbles. Shameless actor Aaron McCusker stars as Eva's partner Ben Driscoll, with Father Ted's Pauline McLynn playing his interfering mother Maggie. Ben's two sons and Eva's daughter Suzie will also be joining the cast. Residents will discover that Eva and Ben are the new landlords in October, more than seven years after Eva stopped pulling pints to start a new life in France with her daughter. Coronation Street producer Kate Brooks said: "We are beyond thrilled that Eva is returning as the landlady of the Rovers, with her new blended family in tow. "The Driscolls do not arrive quietly, so expect big drama, explosive secrets and raucous knees ups galore. To have actors of Catherine, Aaron and Pauline's considerable calibre at the beating heart of this family is absolutely wonderful, and we can't wait for you to get to know and fall in love with them as much as we have already done. "Strap yourselves in, it's going to be an exciting and eventful ride." A host of stars have left the British soap this year including Sue Cleaver, who spent 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw. Among the others who have left are Colson Smith, who played Craig Tinker on the ITV soap opera, and Luca Toolan, who played Mason Radcliffe.
