Helen Flanagan has dramatically slashed the sale price of her luxury mansion less than a month after putting it on the market due to financial difficulties.

The former Coronation Street star, 34, has admitted that she’s ‘really struggling financially’ after making a fortune from appearing in the soap and various reality TV shows.

And Helen has now reduced the asking price of her six bedroom detached home on the outskirts of Bolton.

It was initially on for £1.5 million, but it’s been dropped to £1,195,000 – a steep fall of 20 per cent.

The three-floored home, spanning over 5,000 square feet, was put on the market in the middle of May.

Depending on the size of the mortgage, Helen could still be set for a tidy windfall as she bought it with her ex partner, footballer Scott Sinclair, for £840,000 in June 2021.

According to the brochure, two of the bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms and living rooms – one of which is full of designer handbags, clothes and shoes, ‘which really gives it the wow factor’.

Despite her money problems, the mum-of-three made the most of her newly single status as she partied in Ibiza with Wayne Lineker and Dean Gaffney after splitting from boyfriend Robbie Talbot.

Helen had previously hinted at wanting more children with the former non-league footballer.

However, friends now claim the she 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.’

After splitting from Scott, Helen claimed in a court appearance for a speeding offence that she was ‘really struggling financially’ after raking in over £1M from her TV and modelling career.

Despite claiming that she was broke to the courts in January and needed her car to ferry her three kids around, magistrates still banned her from driving for six months.

She said: ‘I’m a single mum, I live in the middle of the moors.’

She said her ‘job really is being a mum at home’ and she had ‘enough money in my account to pay off my tax and my VAT and basically that’s about it’ – later adding that she has ‘enough money to pay my taxes, pay the mortgage and for a bit of tea’.

Yet Helen is currently living it up in Ibiza as she showed off her ample ᴀssets in a black ʙικιɴι 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.

Confirming she would be selling the property a month ago on The Declutter Hub podcast with Ingrid Jansen and Lesley Spellman, she insisted she was ‘down to earth’ but that moving would be hard.

She also revealed that despite the house already being on the market she doesn’t know where she will move to next – admitting London might be too expensive.

Helen co-parents kids Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three, with ex Scott but is now in a relationship with new boyfriend Robbie Talbot who lives in Liverpool, where his two children are based.

She said of the future move: ‘We are selling the house now which will be nice to have a change. Because I was with Scott for so long I was used to moving house a lot (because he is a footballer) so it’s normal for me.

‘I could now never stay in one place for too long I don’t think. I like a change, I love it.’

She added: ‘It makes me sad that I am going to be leaving this house soon because I have put so much effort into it. 

‘I put loads of my savings into making it look really beautiful. It’s eight bedrooms which is hard to keep on top of – it’s a lot.

‘When we move I will struggle to downsize – I don’t want to not sounds down to earth. Bu it will feel weird. It will be more manageable for me.

‘I don’t know where I want to live next. I’ve always wanted to live in London but there is such a price difference there. But it would be amazing for work and I do want a change. It’s been a heavy few years for me so it will be a lovely fresh change.’
