The 'broke' soap star has suffered a series of bitter setbacks after losing her £3.5million fortune
The actress recently announced that she has been forced to put her 'forever home' up for sale as she can no longer afford its upkeep.
This followed her pleas to magistrates when she appeared on speeding charges earlier this year that she is a 'single mum' who struggles to scrape together cash for a £10 taxi fare.
The actress' company HJF Darling Ltd published accounts for the year to the end of August 2024 of £135,387, leaving after tax a balance of £75,615.
Speaking candidly to The Declutter Hub podcast about her living situation in April, Helen explained: 'It actually makes me sad that I'm going to be leaving soon because I actually put so much effort into it.
'When we moved I put like a lot of my savings into doing the house up and making it look really beautiful.
'But it's a big house. It's an eight-bedroom house, which is obviously really hard to keep on top of.'
The 'newly-single' star recently confirmed her boyfriend Robbie Talbot had moved out of the home she shares with her three children, previously claimed her finances were so dire that she was struggling to afford the price of public transport.
The actress is understood to be single after breaking off her relationship with Robbie, 45, just over a year after the pair went public.

She shares three children Matilda, 9, Delilah, six, and Charlie, four, with her footballer ex Scott Sinclair.
Helen had previously hinted at wanting more children with the former non-league footballer, but is said to have had a change of heart over over recent months.
A source told The Sun: 'They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.
'She sat him down two weeks ago and said, ''This isn't working''... She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him.'
In April, Helen admitted she is no longer living with Robbie after he briefly moved into her home, sharing at the time it wasn't helpful for her children who 'miss' their dad.
The actress and her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, 36, separated in 2022 after 13 years together.
She told The Sun: 'I'd asked him to stay for a while, because I often get quite scared in the house on my own and feel safer with a man there.
'But Matilda is very sensitive and a proper daddy's girl, and she struggles with not seeing Scott as often as she'd like.

'I always think about how she feels when she misses her dad, and having my boyfriend there maybe doesn't help her.'
Speaking on The Mail's The Life of Bryony podcast in March, Helen praised Robbie and the positive impact he'd had on her mental and emotional wellbeing.
She said: 'He's lovely. Everybody loves him. I just met him at a bar. I literally, I just, I could not stop laughing at this guy.'
'My boyfriend's actually the funniest guy I've ever met. He's got two kids and he's, he's really beautiful with my children.'
'I think that's what made me fall more in love with him because he's so good with my mental health things and that's the main thing for me that I need.'
She added: 'I need someone that's good for me mentally and emotionally, that's my top thing and that's what I've realised.'
'No disrespect to the father of my children, I'll always have that love for him, but he didn't know how to cope with me or didn't know how to do that, and not everybody does, but because the man that I'm with now really knows how to do that, it makes me happy.'

Hotel Pilgrim, Paris hotel review
Location On the northern side of the Latin Quarter, Hotel Pilgrim is a five-minute walk from the banks of the Seine. You won't have to walk much further to reach the likes of the Panthéon and Jardin des Plantes either. Set on the eastern edge of Paris' tourist hotspots, the hotel is located in an area that is great for hitting up a multitude of boulangeries and creperies, particularly on the nearby Rue Mouffetard. You will need to stretch your legs or hop on the Metro to reach the Eiffel Tower or Champs-Élysées, though. The vibe Airy and light, the hotel opts for minimalism to ensure guests and particularly families, can enjoy plenty of space for a city-centre stay. The bar/restaurant hits these notes too, with sofas that serve as much as general break-out spaces as somewhere to order a round of drinks, while the rooftop terrace is a spot to enjoy a quiet moment while admiring the view, due to the absence of a bar. Service Warm and helpful, the staff were happy to hold our bags after we arrived early and keep them a little longer on the last day while we enjoyed a final stroll along the Seine. Any questions we had were quickly answered with the staff always on hand at reception. Bed and bath The room was spacious, more so than one might expect for such a central location. The absence of any noise from the street, combined with the minimalist design, worked wonders on our stress levels, and the bathroom allowed for a deep sense of calm to prevail, with brass fittings and grey tones. A Smeg kettle for making coffee and a surprisingly wide array of herbal teas ranked among the elevated touches, along with a rotary telephone and comfy bathrobe. Food and drink The bar serves cocktails, herbal teas, soft drinks and its own signature iced tea, but prices are a little steep. It's a shame the seventh-floor terrace isn't utilised for drinks, however, there is a large outside area on the ground floor. Breakfast includes granola, cereals, cold meats and yoghurts. You will have to head out for dinner, but the Latin Quarter has you covered. Just drop a couple of streets back from the busy banks of the Seine and choose whichever restaurant takes your fancy. Facilities A pool, small gym and sauna are open to guests in the basement – a vital reprieve for those seeking a refreshing morning dip or those in need of a different kind of activity to amuse kids old and young. The room is a little echo-y, however, meaning even the smallest of voice boxes may hinder guests hoping to relax. Accessibility Rooms are available for disabled guests upon request. Pet policy Guests are allowed to bring one pet weighing up to 10 kg for €20 per night. Check in/out? Check-in from 3pm, check-out until 12pm. Family friendly? Yes. At a glance Best thing: A relaxing reprieve on the doorstep of the Seine, offering space and style for sightseers. Perfect for: Young families looking to capitalise on the balance of style, comfort and convenience. Not right for: Young couples on a budget. Instagram from: The flower arch on the rooftop terrace. Address: 11 rue de Poissy, 75005 Paris

Novak Djokovic scheduled to play during Champions League final as French Open request denied
Novak Djokovic has had his request to watch the Champions League final denied after being scheduled to play on Saturday night. A host of top players, including Paris Saint-Germain fan Arthur Fils, had pleaded with organisers to ensure their third-round matches did not clash with the big game against Inter Milan in Munich. Djokovic even said after his win over Corentin Moutet: 'It's going to be PSG that I will support. 'I will definitely watch it if I'm not playing the night session. Yeah, that will be nice. FYI, Roland Garros schedule…' But the 24-time grand slam champion received bad news on Friday afternoon as his clash with Austrian Filip Misolic will begin at 8.15pm local time, 45 minutes before the final kicks off. Roland Garros tournament director Amelie Mauresmo does not believe the football will disrupt the tournament. 'The Champions League final won't change much for us,' she said. 'We are trying to do the utmost for the tournament. We are very happy for PSG but we are organising our own event. 'There will be 15,000 people here so we want to give them the best possible match. 'We can't prohibit people to watch their telephone and to follow the football match simultaneously. 'There won't be 10 or 20 goals. If once or twice we have a bit of an uproar, it's going to be fine.'

Jack Draper braced for hot reception in French Open clash with Joao Fonseca
Jack Draper has already experienced the hysteria that follows his French Open third-round opponent Joao Fonseca around – and he was not even playing him at the time. British number one Draper was taking on Czech youngster Jakub Mensik at the Miami Open when the match was interrupted after hundreds of fans started booing. The noise was coming from a huge Brazilian contingent who had waited all day to watch teenage sensation Fonseca, only to realise his match had suddenly been moved to a different court. 'It was tough,' recalled Draper. 'There was a couple of games in the match where they were booing very loudly and we didn't know what was going on. 'The Miami Open got that one wrong. They'd been waiting all day, he was fourth on. 'I thought the crowd were there to watch me and when I rocked up to the court it was all 'Joao Fonseca', and I thought maybe they're not for me. It's incredible what he brings to the sport.' If the queues snaking around Roland Garros towards Court 14 when Fonseca was beating Pierre-Hugues Herbert are anything to go by, then Draper, who silenced a raucous Paris crowd on Thursday night when he beat local hero Gael Monfils, is in for another hot reception. Draper, who beat the 18-year-old at Indian Wells in their only previous meeting earlier this year, added: 'I enjoy it, I love it, I feed off it. It bodes well with my competitive nature. I'm looking forward to playing him, he's obviously a special player. 'I think I'm going to be playing him a lot. I think we'll be seeing him at the back end of draws and right at the top of the game. 'Everyone can see his potential and the way he plays, some of the stuff he comes out with is very powerful, very dynamic, very explosive and I think that's why it draws a lot of people to watch him. The huge fan base he brings from Brazil is great for the sport. 'I'll expect him to know my game now, he's played some really good stuff and kept rising up the rankings so it will be a tough challenge, especially in a grand slam on the clay. 'I'll know what to expect and not have any surprises but it will be a tough challenge for sure.'
