The 28-year-old actress played the role of Rosie Webster in the ITV soap from 2000-2012 and then came back to the cobbles of Weatherfield in 2017 before going on maternity leave to have her second daughter with Celtic footballer Scott Sinclair - 12-month-old Delilah.

Helen - who also has four-year-old Matilda with 30-year-old Scott - will return to the show "at some point" but she needs to work out childcare and the logistics of coming down to Manchester to shoot 'Corrie' from her home in Scotland.

In an interview with the new issue of OK! magazine, she said: "I've always said I'll go back, but I'm still not sure when that will be. I'm a mum now so I have to put my children first.

"We have to be based in Scotland for Scott's job and the show is filmed in Manchester so I need to figure out how I'm going to make it work. The door is open for me to go back so I will return at some point."

Helen will soon tie the knot with Scott, 30, and revealed that Sally Dynevor and Brooke Vincent, who play her on-screen mother Sally Metcalfe and sister Sophie Webster in the series, will definitely be among the guests as they are "like her family" as she has worked with them since she was nine.

She said: "Sally Dynevor and Brooke Vincent will definitely be there. I've grown up working with them they're like my family.

"I was so excited when Brooke told me she was having a baby. We've known each other since we were children and I know she's going to be an amazing mum. She's great with children and it's something she's wanted for a long time. It's sad we live so far apart as we won't be able to have many play dates."
