Helen Flanagan says she is ready to make a Coronation Street return seven years on from soap exit
Helen Flanagan has said that she is ready to make a Coronation Street return, seven years on from her soap exit.
The actress, 35, who is best known for playing Rosie Webster on the cobbles, made her first appearance in 2000.
She starred on the soap until 2012, then reprised her role in 2017 when she returned for a year.
Helen, still who lives nearby the Salford, Manchester-based set, told of how the job would be convenient as she co-parents her three children with her ex Scott Sinclair.
In an interview she revealed: ‘I’d love to go back to Coronation Street, but they just haven’t asked me and I live around the corner, but they just haven’t asked me.
‘I’d love to, if they asked me. I’d come back, but they obviously haven’t,’ she told The Sun.

Earlier this year, Helen teased an epic return to the ITV soap and has even hinted at her first storyline.
Corrie fans are desperate to know if the actress would ever return, and she told The Mirror: ‘I would love to go back to back to Coronation Street.’
She explained that being based in Bolton would mean that she would be able to work around her kids – Matilda, nine, Delilah Six, and Charlie, three.
The actress has even thought up a storyline that Rosie could take part in if she did make a comeback.
Helen said: ‘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.’
Back in January Helen sparked speculation that she will return to Corrie after sharing a sweet throwback snap on set.
The mum-of-three posted a cute picture of a young Rosie Webster with Barbara Knox as Rita Tanner on Instagram.
Helen wrote: ‘Ah love this pic I found with the iconic Barbara Knox I was Matilda’s age.’

Helen left the ITV soap in 2012 to pursue other things.
In the show, her character had signed with a modelling agency and she left the Cobbles to go to London.
But when she left in 2018 it was because she was about to go on maternity leave.
Meanwhile seven years ago her exit storyline involved her drug smuggling ex Antoine.
