Helen Flanagan's 'nightmare' return from Scotland following family trip to Glasgow
The Corrie star, 34, has admitted that her ban from driving has caused her chaos as she struggles to juggle life again as a single mum to her three kids Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and four-year-old son Charlie.
Helen Flanagan detailed her "nightmare" journey following her trip to Scotland at the weekend. The mum-of-three visited Glasgow with her three kids Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and four-year-old son Charlie.
Taking to Instagram, the Corrie star explained trains were off which left the single mum scrambling around. It comes as 34-year-old has recently split with her partner Robbie Talbot.
Helen explained: "Had a nightmare journey yesterday getting back from Scotland... no trains were running back home... so I had to get a coach to Carlisle... I had to wait over an hour with the kids to get a train from Carlisle to home, then an uber from the station with three kids on my own and a massive suitcase, pram and a million bags
"I used to drive to Scotland all the time and back and I've got about 6 weeks hopefully left until I can drive, I can honestly say it's been a nightmare losing my license with 3 kids when I look after them the majority of the time, especially because I wasn't even driving."
Helen allegedly claims it was her ex Robbie who was driving her Audi at the time when the vehicle was caught speeding twice in Merseyside last year. Despite claiming a driving ban would cause her "exceptional hardship" she was banned driving for six months.
"Read Charlie a million stories, did lots of jigsaws, lots of art and crafts and playdough," She added. "I know what my dad's like if I would of called him he would have probs drove to Glasgow and back to pick me and the kids up but my parents do loads for me and the kids as it is... honestly can't wait to drive...I could have shares in Uber and I live on trains."
Helen later shared a photo of a huge mug of coffee, admitting she had "lost track" of how many cups she had been drinking, admitting her PMDD was making her exhausted.
During her trip to Glasgow, Helen enjoyed a gifted stay to the AC Hotel by Marriott Glasgow, situated in the city centre on George street. The luxury hotel first opened its doors back in 2023 as a key part of the £100 million Love Loan development.
Helen also shared a clip of her youngest daughter Delilah and son Charlie, who was enjoying a huge chocolate brownie in a local cafe. The kids managed to catch the good weather as they also enjoyed a day out at Monty's Farm Park in Cardross village.
She was joined by her good pal Victoria Halliday. "Smiling through the tantrums," Helen later declared as she shared a photo of her and Charlie, who was sitting on her knee appearing to be mid-tantrum. Another video clip saw him feeding the goats.
Monty's Farm Park has had a few well-known visitors in the past, including Love Island star Laura Anderson and Scots model Emily Shak.
The visit offered a mix of animal encounters, outdoor adventures and delicious home baking, creating the perfect family day out.
The Ardardan Estate has also recently unveiled a beautiful new private event space, nestled within the estate grounds, offering an exclusive setting for everything from intimate celebrations to special gatherings with a countryside charm.

Scots woman 'saved by handprint bruise' after devastating cancer diagnosis
Nichola Smith, 44, began her battle with cancer at just 12-years-old. A Scots woman diagnosed with blood cancer three times has told how a handprint bruise "saved her life". Nichola Smith, 44, from Glasgow, fell unwell at the age of 12, suffering fatigue, high temperatures and bouts of diarrhoea. After playing with her brother and cousins, she noticed a strange bruise on her hand. Speaking to our sister title, Glasgow Live, said: 'I remember one of them had grabbed me and it left a bruise on my arm in the shape of a handprint.' She went to the GP with her mum, where she was diagnosed with a viral illness. After being sent home, Nichola collapsed and was rushed to hospital. Just hours later, the then-schoolgirl was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). Nichola said: 'Mum watched a lot of medical programmes and as soon as I was taken to hospital she said she had a feeling it was leukaemia. She knew that the extreme bruises were a symptom. I went into complete panic mode. I thought I was going to die.' Treatment began immediately for Nichola, and after several blood transfusions and five rounds of chemotherapy, she returned home to begin the road to recovery. But the following year, received the devastating news that her AML was back. She then underwent a bone marrow transplant to put her in remission. Thankfully, the treatment was successful and she was finally able to resume normal teenage life. She went on to attend regular testing to monitor the potential after-effects of the harsh treatment she had received. It was during one of these appointments in 2006 that a routine mammogram revealed she had pre-cancerous cells in both her breasts - a common side effect of the leukaemia treatment she had received. Nichola was 26 at the time. She said: 'It was another trauma to get through. They said I would need a double mastectomy. I had three major operations and a lot of recovery time. I still get checked every year for any breast cancer cells.' Just when Nichola thought she was finally in the clear, bad news struck again in January 2022, when she contracted COVID-19 and found she struggled to recover. Tests revealed she had myelodysplasia, a blood cancer that could eventually lead, once more, to AML. For the fourth time, Nichola's world was rocked by cancer. Nichola said: 'I was devastated. I kept saying to myself 'Here we go again' and 'why me'. I have had so much bad luck in my life with my health and I couldn't believe I was going to have to fight again.' Nichola was placed on the 'watch and wait' list, then started on blood transfusions. In August 2023, she received the news that her blood cancer had progressed and she once again needed chemotherapy, as well as radiotherapy and a stem cell transplant. With significant progress in cancer research since Nichola's first stem cell transplant in 1996, her brother, Andrew, was now able to donate stem cells with only a 50% match. Thankfully, the transplant was successful. Nichola is sharing her story in support of the #SPOTLeukaemia campaign. which aims to raise awareness about the signs and symptoms of the disease. The most common symptoms of leukaemia are: Extreme tiredness (fatigue) Bruising Unusual bleeding Repeated infections Colin Dyer, CEO at Leukaemia Care said: 'Nichola's story is a powerful reminder of why we all need to know the signs and symptoms of leukaemia. The reality is that leukaemia can develop quickly and be life-threatening, yet the early symptoms like fatigue, bruising or repeated infections are often mistaken for less serious illnesses. 'That's why our #SpotLeukaemia campaign is so important. We want everyone to be aware of the signs, because recognising something as seemingly simple as a handprint-shaped bruise can, quite literally, save a life.'

I went to Cannes Film Festival on a £30 daily budget — here's what happened
Cannes in May is a star-studded circus, stuffed to the gills with black-tie galas, red carpet premieres and yacht parties. The world-famous film festival is also the busiest two weeks of the year for a film journalist, rubbing elbows with celebrities but living a very different experience: lugging laptops across town, planning power naps and fretting over a rapidly dwindling bank balance. During the festival, working days often stretch longer than 16 hours — this is my third year in the trenches. I eat on the go, where and when I can. My priority is to catch as many screenings as possible during waking hours, but a close second is keeping costs low – around £30 per day – in a city known for glitz and glamour. Hollywood and the French Riviera are a decadent and elitist mix. This year's festival saw the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Dakota Johnson, Robert Pattinson, Denzel Washington, Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Mescal roll in. I'm in a champagne city on a Fanta budget – but we do what we must. Fuel your wanderlust with our curated newsletter of travel deals, guides and inspiration. Sign up here. I start my journey on a sold-out easyJet flight from Gatwick to Nice, the closest major airport to Cannes. It goes without a hitch – we even arrive a little early. For the first time, the bus I need to catch for the remaining 33km perfectly syncs with my arrival. No chauffeured transfer for me – although working journalists do get a voucher covering the cost of this coach journey, so I'm not complaining. Once in Cannes, I travel almost everywhere on foot, except when I take the local bus to a cinema complex used for mop-up screenings – again, this is free for accredited press. We won't talk about what Uber or Bolt will charge you for the same journey if you misinterpret the timetable. The film festival largely takes place at the Palais des Festivals complex along the Cannes seafront, next to the harbour, where some 40,000 industry heads and press descend for two weeks each May. Tourist traps dot the strip, and often a panini from one of them is all I have time for. This sets me back €6.50 (£5.47), which isn't too offensive. However, if you go a few streets back from the Croisette, the bread is fresher, the ingredients are better quality, and the price is roughly the same. To keep costs down, I refuel with free beverages, including coffees and chilled soft drinks, available in the Palais. On several days, I pick up a free lunchtime Coke Zero from the journalists' rooftop terrace, even if I do have to make a special detour for it. When restaurants will easily charge you €5 (£4.21) for the same – and for mineral water when you definitely asked for tap – this and taking my bottle to the water fountains are my most reliable hacks. I had hoped to load up on the canapes served at parties, a tried-and-tested method for entertainment journalists trying to fit everything in on their beat (and also eat). This does not go to plan at one villa bash, where I grimace through some of the most flavourless food I've ever put in my mouth. So, well after midnight, I turn to the always-reliable, always-regrettable early morning fast food with friends. Even in Cannes. Parties do, however, always come through with free booze. However, on my first night, after a 4am start, I fork out for a glass of Taittinger at Italian Caffe on Bld Jean Hibert. Yes, this does fly in the face of 'budget', but it's also €10 (£8.42) a glass – something I've never seen in the UK, so we'll say it's a bargain if nothing else. And when I return to this restaurant towards the end of my stay, I downgrade to a glass of prosecco and save €4 (£3.37). For the majority of my trip to Cannes, I have access to a kitchenette in the studio where I stayed in Le Suquet, the old quarter and the far side of Cannes to the glitzy strip of luxury celebrity haunts like the Carlton Cannes and Hôtel Martinez. This means I can head to Aldi to pick up breakfast and snacks, like fruit, milk, cereal, crisps, to keep me going for the first few days. It is worth, unsurprisingly, also making room in your budget for bakeries in Cannes, specifically for pain au chocolat. They're not massively cheap at over €2 (£1.68), but they are worth it – plus, they're easy to scoff while standing in a queue for a screening. My final few nights are spent in an Ibis bang in the centre of Cannes, which is quiet and also serves a surprisingly varied breakfast buffet. The pastries included are bakery quality and set me up nicely to push through the final days of the festival. During the festival I have to accommodation hop, and meticulously plan the move within my tight schedule. Luckily, I can drop my luggage at the Ibis Cannes Centre before checking in. I reward myself with a €2.40 (£2.02) pain au chocolat on my way to the Palais for a press conference with Paul Mescal. After asking a question about his new film The History of Sound which goes viral, I plunge into work, only surfacing for lunch just before 4pm. This is one of those panini stand days, all I had time for, so another €7 (£5.89) down as I treat myself to a fancy ham with cheese and tomato. I still walk back to score my free canned drink, though. But here is where the wheels start to fall off. After heading back to the hotel, I find myself persuaded into a patisserie for an evening drink and éclair – powering up for some more work – ahead of dinner. This ends up happening after 10pm, and as I'm now in an unfamiliar part of Cannes, I just want somewhere open that looks good. That results in a €24 (£20.20) spaghetti alle vongole accompanied by an €8 (£6.73) glass of prosecco at Da Tina 33 Cannes. Total spend = €46.40 (£39.06). Regrets = zero. Cannes is never going to be a cheap destination. Its glamorous reputation precedes it, so my best advice is to spend that little bit of extra time walking further away from the Palais to seek out the best quality food and booze. Up Rue Saint-Antoine's cobblestones further into Le Suquet is a good place to start. More Trending A pizza from Tredici, for example, is worth stretching the budget for (from €14-32, £11.78-26.94) – and the best recommendations, from friends, are worth their weight in gold. Hotel costs soar during the festival – up to six times their usual price, I've noted – so if you're not interested in soaking up that cinematic atmosphere, steer clear and visit at another time of year. But if you want to revel in the A-list atmosphere, where anyone can walk past you (I accidentally almost collided with Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge one year), book early – pre-Christmas. And, of course, sniff out those €10 champagnes where you can. easyJet flies from London Gatwick to Nice up to seven days a week year- round, with prices starting from £34.99 pp (one-way, including taxes). Double rooms at ibis Cannes Centre start from £68 per night. Travellers booking now can enjoy 25% off stays with the Accor Summer Sale.

Read on for more holiday essentials from Primark MUST HAVE Primark release new beauty dupe of Sol De Janeiro travel set just in time for summer & it's £24 cheaper SHOPPERS have been rushing to Primark for their holiday must-haves. From cheap hand luggage to bikinis, the budget retailer has everything you need. 2 Primark's new Sol De Janeiro dupes are perfect for summer Credit: Instagram/ 2 The Sol De Janeiro set is much pricier Credit: Look Fantastic And now it's selling a beauty pack you won't want to forget in your hand luggage. It's already brought out Sol De Janeiro dupes in the past including a range of body mists and bath products. But now Primark has upped the stakes with its new travel-friendly buy. For just £6 you can now get a lip balm, moisturiser and body mist to rival the designer brand. The Santorini Sunset travel bag costs just £6 making it way cheaper to the Sol De Janeiro option which retails for £30. The travel essentials come in a gorgeous almond and caramel scent much like the luxe brand's classic Chirosa collection. Primark's original line-up of Sol de Janeiro dupes was released in April last year and consisted of three holiday-esque fragrances. Then in January this year, fast fashion bosses added five more scents - including the Santorini Sunsets. Among the others are Capri Coast, Bali Blush, Rio Romance and Fiji Fiesta, and they all come in similar bottles to the £24 Sol de Janeiro viral Perfume Mists. The travel set comes in an orange travel bag to match and is under the 100ml limit for hand luggage making it perfect for any vacations this year. Why Sol de Janeiro's Bum Bum Cream is a cult favourite among beauty lovers Holiday Must-haves Primark has gone viral this year for its selection of cheap hand luggage. TikTok user Pia Blossom decided to put it's new carry on suitcase to the test and see how much the popular tiny bag can hold - while being within the regulations. It measures 40x20x25cm, when its wheels are removed, meaning it's fully compliant with Ryanair's underseat baggage dimensions (40x20x25cm) It's also ideal for EasyJet customers, with their under-seat cabin bag's maximum dimensions being 45x36x20cm, including handles and wheels. Primark's history PRIMARK first opened in 1969 as Pennies in Dublin, hoping to provide affordable fashion in Ireland. A Primark store officially opened as Primark in 1974 in Derby. The retailer now has 193 stores across the UK and 441 stores worldwide with a goal of running 530 stores by the end of 2026. The airline claims this size allows you to 'bring all the essentials for a short trip' - but Pia decided to see if this was true for her. 'Shall we see how much we can fit in it?" she asked viewers. Getting to work, Pia managed to add a 'couple of dresses, a couple of jackets, cardigan, underwear, spare bra and [two pairs of] summery shoes.' 'I almost forgot pyjamas, but we got them in there, too. 'This is closing much easier than I thought it would, which feels like a challenge to put more in. 'I am so impressed with that.'
