Charlie looked delighted and threw his hands in the air as he was surrounded by red balloons and a Paddington Bear figure with his face on.

In her Instagram caption, Helen posted a series of snaps and the words: “Best day for celebrating Charlies 4th Birthday.’

Scott then uploaded a video of Paddington’s visit to his Stories. 

Helen previously admitted that the former couple ‘don’t like each other at all’ despite them ‘caring deeply’ for each other. 

Speaking to Charlotte Dawson on her Naughty Corner podcast, Helen said: ‘I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don’t like each other.

‘We don’t like each other at all, we don’t get on. I do know that Scott – he’d never admit it – cares about me too and he does love me. 

‘But I’m so done, I could never have another relationship again where we would always be bickering. I haven’t got another argument in me.

‘As women we try and do anything we can to make it work with the father of your children and I did. But I think for me if I was in a relationship with someone else it would have to be easy because I haven’t got the energy in me again, I’ve done all that with the father of my kids.’

Helen went onto say co-parenting is ‘hilarious’ as she revealed the pair try and avoid each other so they don’t ‘argue’ in front of their kids. 

She continued: ‘I’ve been a single mum for two years now. Co-parenting is hilarious, we were together for 13 years.

‘The last time I saw him, I thought it was quite funny, I was taking the p*** out of him because he had a bucket hat on. I think he was trying not to laugh.

‘He lives in Bath and I live in North Manchester so its about five hours and we meet in Birmingham to exchange things and the kids.

‘He’s throwing things in my boot and I just started taking the mickey out of his bucket hat to lighten the mood. 

She said: 'I still love him very much but we don't like each other at all, we don't get on. I do know that Scott - he'd never admit it - cares about me too and he does love me'

‘We just try and not be in the same house together because the children are the priority and I want a good environment for them and I don’t want them to see us arguing.’

Elsewhere in the chat, Helen, who has been busy filming the new series of Celebs Go Dating, admitted she was previously on celebrity dating app Raya.

She said: ‘Being single is, wow. There are some awful men out there. 

‘I did have Raya on my phone and Matilda would sit on my phone and she would go through the guys on the dating app and would laugh at them. She would go to school and be like, “my mum has a boys app”.

‘I don’t have the app anymore, I did go on a few dates from there but I kind of felt a bit…but it was hilarious at the beginning.
