Helen Flanagan has revealed she’s ready for a fresh start as eyes up her acting comeback.
The 34-year-old actress was due to appear in Cluedo 2 theatre tour last year but was advised to withdraw due to medical reasons.
However, she’s now looking forward to focusing on getting back into acting and has confirmed she has got some big projects coming up very soon.
Speaking at the WhichBingo Awards this week, Helen said: “My passion is acting and I’ve got got two really good projects next year which I’m excited about and I just want to focus to getting back into acting.

Helen shot to fame as Rosie Webster in Coronation Street 25 years ago and she’s confirmed that she’d be up for returning to the cobbles if the time is right.
The soap siren explained: “I get asked all the time if I’m going back to Coronation Street and I would love to go back.

“I read a story the other day which said ‘Helen reached out to Corrie bosses and they rejected her’ and that’s so not true at all.
“As an actress, I feel like me and Rosie grew up together and I just generally played myself but I would never do the things that she did.
“I remember when they wrote Rosie really mean and bitchy and I’m a proper softy and I would never be mean to anyone so that was a bit weird when the character was like that.

Helen’s first appearance as Sally and Kevin Webster’s daughter Rosie aired in 2000 after replacing Emma Collinge who played her the iconic role from 1990 until 1999.
Throughout her storylines, Rosie has been involved in various conflicts, including a rivalry with younger sister Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) and being kidnapped by John Stape (Graeme Hawley).
Additionally, Rosie has had aspirations of becoming a model, which has been a significant storyline for her character.
