Helen Flanagan's bid to beat panic attacks

Corrie star Helen Flanagan fights her stress by moving back to her parents'

Helen Flanagan says she'll never live on her own again

It's been a hard few weeks for Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan.

After reports of an on-set meltdown, the 21-year-old revealed that she suffers panic attacks, sparking speculation that she might quit the show after 12 years playing Rosie Webster.

But Corrie bosses say she's turned a corner - after moving back home to her mum and dad's.

Helen was beaming as she packed up her belongings from her flash Alderley Edge pad and headed back to Bolton last week.

Helen, who's dating Swansea City footballer Scott Sinclair, 22, began renting her single-girl flat - near the likes of Wayne and Coleen Rooney - two years ago.

Our Corrie source reveals: ‘Helen was living on her own, miles away from any of her friends or any of the cast. She felt really isolated.'

It's one of the factors Helen blames for her panic attacks.

She came clean about her condition in August, when filming had to be put on hold after she fled a scene in tears.

She said: ‘I've recently suffered a few panic attacks.

'And, as anyone who has ever had them knows, they're very scary.

'I had one at work and everyone was very understanding.'
