Helen Flanagan Expresses Desire for Coronation Street Return
Helen Flanagan, best known for her role as Rosie Webster on ITV’s Coronation Street, has expressed her eagerness to return to the long-running soap opera.

Having originally joined Coronation Street at the tender age of nine, Flanagan has a deep connection to the show. She shared a personal struggle she faced during her time on the soap, revealing that she developed an eating disorder as a way to exert control over her life. Despite the challenges she faced, Flanagan has since found strength in being a role model for her children, understanding the importance of setting a positive example for them.
The actress expressed her desire to return to the series during a conversation with her former co-star, Sally Dynevor.
