FORMER Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child.

The 24-year-old, who is dating Manchester City player Scott Sinclair, said the pair are "happy and excited" with the news.

She is believed to be three months' pregnant, with the baby likely to make an appearance in June.

The actress, from Sharples, has never hidden the fact she has always wanted to be a mother, and has noticeably been out of the limelight of late.

Helen recently tweeted about feeling unwell but this is now thought to have been morning sickness.

Corrie star Georgia May Foote, who lives in Bolton, has sent her best wishes to the parents-to-be.
