Helen Flanagan hints at Coronation Street return insisting show 'needs' her
Helen Flanagan has teased a potential return to Coronation Street six years on from Rosie Webster's exit, with the former Celebs Go Dating star having already proposed a storyline Actor Helen Flanagan has hinted at a potential return to Coronation Street. The actress, who suggested that the soap opera "needs" her and her character, spoke about the show six years on from her departure. Helen, 34, is best known for playing Rosie Webster on the long-running ITV soap opera. She made her debut in 2000 and remained on the show until 2012, before returning from 2017 to 2018. Her character hasn't been seen since then. There's been speculation over her potentially returning in recent months. Earlier this year, Helen shared her desire to return and teased how Rosie coming back could play out, saying that she could work at the Rovers Return and "dump" her kids with Sally Metcalfe (played by Sally Dynevor). Speaking to the Mirror, she said at the time: "I would love to go back to Coronation Street." Proposing the circumstances of Rosie's return, she added: "A single mum with a real storyline, with two kids that she dumps with Sally to have her Rovers return play out an iconic barmaid role." Then last month, it was suggested that it isn't the right time for Rosie to return to Corrie though. Helen has now teased the prospect of reprising her character in an interview with the Sun, which was released earlier this evening. Helen said: "I can't say too much, but it could be possible that I could go back." The former cast member added that she gets on with "everyone" on the show, which "changed" her life. She then said that her "loyalty" is with Corrie. The actor went on to discuss Rosie, with Helen telling the outlet that she feels like the character is "part" of her. Sharing her thoughts, she teased that Corrie "needs" her, before adding that the soap opera "needs" Rosie too. Alongside a potential return, Helen also expressed interest in taking part in Celebrity Big Brother in the future. She's no stranger to appearing on reality TV, including having taken part in dating show Celebs Go Dating last year. She was also among the campmates on I'm a Celebrity back in 2012, appearing alongside the likes of EastEnders star Charlie Brooks, who won that series. Helen later took part in the 'All Stars' spin-off, which was broadcast in 2023. Helen however shared concern about the prospect of reality TV work affecting her acting career. She said: "If you want to focus on your acting, I do think sometimes it can be hard going down the reality TV route to be taken seriously." Since Helen last appeared on Corrie, relatives of Rosie have arrived in Weatherfield, with the character now having more family there than before. They include her aunt Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney), who returned in 2019 after 30-year absence. More recently, another relative of Rosie's father Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) turned up on the street. Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), who is the younger brother of Kevin and Debbie, was introduced to viewers last month.

Jiggly Caliente, 'RuPaul's Drag Race' contestant, dead at 44
Jiggly Caliente, a performer and actress who rose to prominence as a contestant on 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' has died, according to a statement from her family. She was 44. The reality TV personality, whose real name was Bianca Castro-Arabejo, died on Sunday and was 'surrounded by her loving family and close friends,' according to her family's statement, which was posted to her verified Instagram page. 'A luminous presence in the worlds of entertainment and advocacy, Jiggly Caliente was celebrated for her infectious energy, fierce wit, and unwavering authenticity,' the statement read. 'She touched countless lives through her artistry, activism and the genuine connection she fostered with fans around the world.' A cause of death has not yet been confirmed, but her family said in a statement days before her death that Castro-Arabejo had 'experienced a serious health setback' and had her right leg amputated due to a 'severe infection.' Her recovery was expected to be extensive, the statement, posted to her Instagram, said. CNN has reached out to a representative for Castro-Arabejo and a member of her family for additional comment. Castro-Arabejo was best known for competing on Season 4 of 'Drag Race' in 2012. Though eliminated at the time, she later returned to appear in the 2021 'All Stars' season. 'We are devastated by the passing of Jiggly Caliente, a cherished member of the Drag Race family,' a statement posted to the official 'Drag Race' Instagram read. 'Her talent, truth, and impact will never be forgotten, and her legacy will continue to slay—always. We're holding her family, friends, and fans close in our hearts during this difficult time.' In 2022, Castro-Arabejo became a judge on 'RuPaul's Drag Race Philippines,' serving in that position until 2024. Castro-Arabejo was unable to appear as a judge on the upcoming season of the series because of her health troubles, according to her family. With her sights set on acting after discovering reality TV fame, Castro-Arabejo auditioned for Ryan Murphy's FX series 'Pose,' eventually scoring a recurring guest star role. 'There's a stigma with reality TV personalities who want to be actors, and that's why, when I auditioned for Pose, I didn't audition as Jiggly Caliente, I auditioned as Bianca,' she told Entertainment Weekly in a 2021 interview. 'I didn't want people to box me in as a reality star. I wanted people to give me a fair shot.' In 2016, Castro-Arabejo came out as trans on the Grizzly Kiki podcast and later said she hoped to inspire the queer community in the Philippines. 'I never saw anyone like me growing up,' said in a 2024 interview. 'To be one of the first trans-Filipinas cast on a Ryan Murphy show, despite the fact that I barely had any lines, it was an important milestone for representation.' Castro-Arabejo was proud of her Filipino heritage, telling Billboard in a 2018 interview that 'my culture is very very important to me.' 'I was living here in America when my mom told me to remember who I was. She really wanted me to remember where I come from,' she told the publication. 'There's a whole lot of beautiful Filipinos out there, but I wanted to show them that the language is also cute, and I love it!'
