She accessorised with a Kurt Giger bag and black pumps, along with a pair of large gold Chanel earrings.

The star pulled her dyed blonde locks into a quick up-do and opted for a natural palette of make-up. 

Helen appeared in high spirits as she was spotted leaving the café and heading back to a car.

The actress recently admitted that she’s ‘really struggling financially’ after making a fortune from appearing on the ITV soap and various reality TV shows.

Amid her struggles, Helen has reduced the asking price of her six-bedroom detached home on the outskirts of Bolton.

It was initially on the market for £1.5 million, but it’s been dropped by £305,000 – a steep fall of 20 per cent with a new asking price of £1.19million.

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.

But Helen appeared to put her money woes aside as she treated herself to a coffee from Costa.

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

Helen recently 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.

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.’

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’.

Despite her money problems, Helen has been making the most of her newly single status after splitting from her boyfriend Robbie Talbot.

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

However, friends claimed she then 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.’
