She recently split from her boyfriend Robbie Talbot. And Helen Flanagan made the most of her newly-single status as she partied in Ibiza with Wayne Lineker and Dean Gaffney. The Corrie star, 34, showed off her ample assets in a black bikini top and appeared to be having a great time at the O Beach Ibiza resort in snaps shared on Instagram Helen shared a snap of herself smiling with Wayne, who gave her a cheeky kiss on the forehead. Another snap from the club was shared online by fellow soap star Dean, 47, who cosied up to Helen, describing her as one of his 'old jungle friends' after their respective stints on I'm A Celeb.

Helen paired the skimpy black bikini top with what appeared to be a stylish white and black skirt that also accentuated her enviable waistline. The busty snaps come after Helen is reported to have called it quits with boyfriend Robbie Talbot, just over a year after the pair went public with their relationship. The former Coronation Street star had previously hinted at wanting more children with the former non-league footballer, 45. However, friends now claim the mum-of-three has had a change of heart, according to The Sun, and she told Robbie their relationship 'wasn't working.' A source told the publication: '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.' Just last month 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. The pair share three children, Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and son Charlie, four. 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, she gushed over her relationship with Robbie. 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.'

Brighton v Liverpool: Premier League
Update: Date: 2025-05-19T18:00:35.000Z Title: Preamble Content: Liverpool may have taken the phrase 'on the beach' a little too literally in the last week – with manager Arne Slot pictured at Wayne Lineker's beach club in Ibiza alongside former EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney Dean Gaffney (no, really) and the rest of the squad in other cultural destinations like Dubai for Trent Alexander-Arnold's leaving do – but let's see what sort of shape they are in tonight. Brighton (a) is a tough gig, even when the champions are firing on all cylinders and actually have something to play for, so this will likely be a tough test for Slot's brave boys. The Seagulls are still in with a shot of Europe: finishing eighth is still a viable (although not certain) route to the Conference League. There are two ways that the eighth-placed team can get a place in the Conference League: 1) Chelsea finish seventh and win the Conference League. Champions League: 1st to 5th, Man Utd or Spurs as Europa League winners. Europa League: 6th, Crystal Palace as FA Cup winners, Chelsea as Conference League winners (7th). Conference League: 8th 2) Chelsea finish sixth and win the Conference League, while Newcastle finish seventh. Champions League: 1st to 5th, Man Utd or Spurs as Europa League winners. Europa League: Newcastle (7th), Crystal Palace as FA Cup winners, Chelsea as Conference League winners (6th). Conference League: 8th In either of these scenarios, the Premier League would have 10 teams – half of the Premier League – playing in Europe next season. Here is the current league table before kick-off. Brighton are ninth but only need a draw tonight to go into the final day in pole position to claim eighth. So, quite the cherry for Brighton to play for, particularly as they have never won a major honour and would likely be the runaway favourites to win next season's Conference League if they qualify. There's a bigger question over whether the budgets of English teams in European's minor competitions (West Ham 2023, Spurs/Manchester United 2025, etc) renders the rest of said competitions rather predictable but this is just a humble preamble and we won't be answering those questions here! Instead, let's look forward to a sun-drenched evening of football in Sussex, as the best team in England visit one of the nation's most exciting sides. Kick-off: 8pm BST.

Arne Slot not on the beach yet as Liverpool boss makes summer spending plans
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot would not be drawn in the pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong but admits the focus of the Premier League champions is now on the summer transfer window. The Dutchman admits that even when he was on a short break in Ibiza this week, where he was pictured celebrating with Gary Lineker's brother Wayne and former EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney, he was thinking about how he can improve his title winners in the transfer window.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot says it's time to 'draw a line under' the Trent Alexander-Arnold boos and 'focus on the fact we have won the league'
Arne Slot said Liverpool need to draw a line under the Trent Alexander-Arnold chatter and focus only on the fact they have won the league. The vice-captain announced his decision to leave the Anfield club last week and was booed by a section of the fanbase when he was substituted on to the pitch in the 2-2 draw with Arsenal. But Slot said: 'All the pundits talked about it, all the country talked about it, but now I think it is time to draw a line under it. Let's focus on the fact we have won the league.' Slot has been partying in Ibiza the last few days with a number of the squad heading to Dubai for a team bonding session that featured boat trips and living the high life in a luxury hotel. But though he was pictured with the likes of Wayne Lineker and Dean Gaffney in the DJ booth of Ocean Beach, the manager's mind has been drifting to next season and how to ensure Liverpool can back up their Premier League title triumph. He said: 'A larger part of my mind is in next season. It's a normal situation that my thoughts if I'm on the couch tonight are more into next season than they would have been if the games were still important. 'That's even more of a challenge for the players on Monday (against Brighton).' But though he may shuffle his pack for the trip to the Amex Stadium on Monday night, Slot insists no fringe players' futures will be decided based on their performances in these last two matches. He added: 'It would not be fair on any player to judge my opinion on them in one or two games. My mind has been made up over 10-11 months. 'Some of the players who have not played a lot are not looking forward to another season of not playing a lot. We have to be prepared if we have to strengthen our squad. But it's difficult to strengthen – we won the league as we have so many great players.' Asked specifically about Federico Chiesa, who has played just 41 league minutes, Slot said: 'In terms of the quality he has, he deserves more playing time but unfortunately for him he's in competition with Mo Salah. 'On the left, it's competition with Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz. Three players who have had a great season. 'He was a long time not as fit as the others. That doesn't help in the beginning. Then the others did so well there's no reason to change. Is he good enough to play for us? Yes he is. But I've always felt Lucho, Cody and Mo deserved the confidence I had in them.'
