Former Celtic star Scott Sinclair<\/a> has reportedly ‘hit back’ at his ex Helen Flanagan<\/a> in a cryptic social media post after she branded him a “d**khead”.<\/p>\n

The winger, who signed for the Hoops under Brendan Rodgers in 2016, shares three children with his ex-fiance. Following their split, Helen gave a glimpse into their relationship through interviews and on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The Mirror <\/a>reports that she recently shared pictures of Scott attending the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to her stories with the words: “You really are a piece of s***. How dare you not turn up to Charlie’s nativity.” Though Scott did not publicly respond, some have taken his most recent posts to social media to be a subtle dig at his ex and her words.<\/p>\n

He shared a video to his stories in which he could be seen spending quality time with his children, reports the Mirror. In the video, he was kicking a football with Delilah, as Matilda and Charlie watched. Scott wrote over the clip: “When she strolls in like she’s just won an award.”<\/p>\n

He added Myles Smith’s song My Home over the top, including the lyrics: “You’ll always be my home, my heart. I’ll be wherever you are. My home, my heart, I feel you with me when we’re worlds apart. You’ll always be my home.”<\/p>\n

The story, which seems to emphatically stress how connected Scott is to his children, comes just days after Helen publicly called him a “d**khead”. Talking to the Daily Mail this week, Helen said: “He’s a d**khead, but I will always have love for him.”<\/p>\n

She added: “I don’t like him.” She continued to say that she doesn’t think he likes her either and that their relationship since the break up has been “hellish” and “very challenging”.<\/p>\n

The star said they had a “very bad relationship” when they were together and now only communicate via her father. Cryptically, she added that “there is so much worse” she could say.<\/p>\n

In her book Head and Heart, Helen made further admissions. She said that she suffered a mental health crisis after their split and became convinced that a neighbour was working with Scott to have her killed.<\/p>\n

“I’d got it into my head that one of my neighbours was trying to kill me,” she wrote. “I’d concocted this ludicrous story that he was a drug smuggler, working with my ex-fianc\u00e9, the former Manchester City, Chelsea and Aston Villa footballer Scott Sinclair.”<\/p>\n

She added that Scott wasn’t the only one she had intrusive thoughts about. She said her mind became a “battlefield” as she would have horrifying thoughts, including one about throwing her baby daughter down the stairs of her home.<\/p>\n

These disturbing thoughts, she explained, “were vivid and often violent. It was brutal and relentless. I loved [my daughter] so much that I ached, and that’s what made the thoughts all the more unbearable.”<\/p>\n

Scott’s representatives were contacted for comment about his post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coronation Street’s Helen Flanagan brutally slammed her footballer ex Scott Sinclair earlier this week and a cryptic post…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":719998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,4781,2628,21657,77,455,16,15],"class_list":["post-719997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity","tag-celtic-fc","tag-celtic-park","tag-entertainment","tag-real-life","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=719997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/719997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/719998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=719997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=719997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=719997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
