Helen Flanagan channeled Bridget Jones in a hilarious clip on Saturday, revealing she wants a “sensible” boyfriend following her split from footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair.
The former Coronation Street actress, 32, who split from Scott in October last year after a 13-year romance, lip-synched to a soundtrack from the cult film in a video posted to her TikTok while holding a Hedwig pen and a notepad clutched.
The lines, made famous by Hollywood star Renée Zellweger, read: “Will find a nice, sensible boyfriend to date and will not develop romantic attachments with any of the following – alcoholic, workaholic, attachment-phobic, megalomaniac, emotional f ** **Funny or perverted.
“And above all, don’t fantasize about one particular person embodying all of those things.”

The clip appeared to imply that the actress, mother of Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, 17 months, is ready to start dating again.
Helen kept things casual for the video, leaving makeup free and wearing her blonde hair down.
The actress later announced she was in recovery after getting a boob job in another video posted to her Instagram story on Sunday.

The former Coronation Street star, 32, admitted she was “really nervous” to share the news but felt she needed the surgery as her breasts were “getting really saggy”.
While still recovering, Helen – who split from footballer fiancé Scott Sinclair in October – claimed she went under the knife to “feel more confident”.
She also explained how her decision was influenced by the reduction in her bust size from an E cup to “not filling a B cup bra” caused by breastfeeding her three children.
While holding back on displaying the results, the newly singles star said in the vlog, “Hi, so I wanted to stop by here. I’m really really nervous to share this, but I’ve had a breast reduction.
“I had it done on Thursday. Yes, so I’m in recovery right now. I was really nervous about sharing this because you always get some not very nice comments or whatever.
“But yeah it’s just something I did for myself, I really wanted to do it for my confidence. I was really nervous to share this. Of course, I’m very pro-body and very pro-other women, but I support women in whatever choices they choose to make.

It comes after it was revealed last year that Helen reportedly split from Scott because her engagement ring broke and she took it as a bad omen.
The actress and footballer called off their engagement and the news was announced last October.
An insider claimed that when Helen’s ring broke, she sought advice from a psychic medium because she believed the incident was a “sign”.
The source told the Sun: “Helen’s engagement ring broke earlier this year. She is interested in all things spiritual and felt that she was taking advice from a medium with psychic abilities.
“Helen and Scott really tried to work on their relationship, but ultimately she took the breaking of the ring as a bad omen and meant she shouldn’t get married.”
Oh no! Helen Flanagan reportedly split from fiancé Scott Sinclair because she thought breaking her engagement ring was an eerie bad omen (pictured August 2022).
She shared a cryptic post about the start of a “new chapter” in August last year, in which she was pictured without her engagement ring for the first time.
Concerns have been raised about Helen’s relationship with Bristol Rovers footballer Beau Scott after claims the relationship is “on the rocks”.
And it seemed to portend new beginnings on her Instagram page, where she shared snaps of her with her kids celebrating her birthday – but with no ring in sight.
On August 9 last year, Helen captioned the post to her 1 million followers: “Happy weekend celebrating my 32nd birthday and a new chapter.”

Although she is “not open” to the idea of them getting back together, Helen now wants to have a harmonious relationship, it has been claimed.
A source told The Sun ahead of Christmas: “Scott is a professional footballer so often he won’t be there on Christmas Day because of his game plans but Helen and Scott are planning something special for the kids.”
The source continued, “Helen isn’t ready to talk about reconciliation and she just wants them to focus on being co-parents.”
