Helen Flanagan smiled for the cameras as she stepped out on the red carpet for the Pride of Britain awards earlier this evening, but kept her left hand out of sight.

Accused Waukesha, Wisconsin, parade killer Darrell Brooks said Wednesday that he is "afraid as hell" of possibly contracting COVID-19 and requested an adjournment during his continued pretrial hearing, in which he is representing himself. "When I was brought in there and they told me they had to test me for COVID, I was immediately, like, what do you mean you have to test me for this? … Immediately, in my head, I started to get afraid that they even had to test for COVID," Brooks said during his hearing livestreamed by FOX 6 Milwaukee of receiving a COVID-19 test in prison.

Brooke Vincent has admitted she’s so partied out from her 30th birthday celebrations that it’s put her off having a big wedding.The former Coronation Street star, who got engaged to footballer Kean Bryan in May, is yet to set a date for her big day but is planning an intimate affair for her closest friends and family. Brooke said: “Having had so many big parties, I think I want a small wedding. I just worry so much in party situations that everyone else is having a good time.

Brooke Vincent has opened up for the first time about her fiance Kean Bryan’s romantic proposal at their home in Manchester. The former Coronation Street actress, 30, said the footballer dropped down on one knee on their six-year anniversary inside a rented igloo he’d hired in their back garden. Revealing the tear-jerking moment to OK! , Brooke said: “So we were celebrating our six-year anniversary and when we came back home there was an igloo in the garden and it was all beautifully decorated.

Brooke Vincent boldly left her career-defining role as Sophie Webster in Coronation Street to focus on family life in 2019 after 18 years on the soap. Her character, Sophie Webster, departed the cobbles at the time to go off on her travels after girlfriend Paula Martin (played by Stirling Gallacher) bought the tickets for her. Speaking for the first time about her reasons for leaving the soap, Brooke said the long and unpredictable hours made it impossible for her to go back without sacrificing time with her kids Mexx, two, and 16-month-old Monroe.

Brooke Vincent reminded some of her followers of Emily in Paris as she teased her brand new project years after last appearing on Coronation Street. The actress is best known for playing Sophie Webster in the ITV soap.

Brooke Vincent has been up since 6am when she arrives at our shoot a few hours later.The actress has already put a clothes wash on, had her food shop delivered and made sons Mexx and Monroe packed lunches for when they join her for photos in the afternoon. Since becoming a mum-of-two, the self-confessed super-planner admits she is obsessive about organising her family – but she is clearly more spontaneous when it comes to love. She’s only been engaged to West Bromwich Albion footballer Kean Bryan, 25, for five months and she confesses they almost got married in secret while on holiday on a Greek island in June.

Helen Flanagan shared a pretty relatable response when asked about her hobbies in a fresh Q&A session with her loyal followers. The former Coronation Street star had an unusually quiet spell on social media but has since made a return to her Instagram page with plenty of her fashion and family content.

She said goodbye to the cobbles four years ago, but former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan has teased that she could make a return to the ITV soap. Helen played Rosie Webster on Corrie from 2000 to 2012, before making a brief return in 2017. And speaking exclusively to OK!, the 32 year old says that she isn’t ruling out stepping back into Rosie’s shoes.

Helen Flanagan may be a mum of three young children, but if rumours are to be believed, she’s made time in her schedule to take part in I’m A Celebrity All Stars, which will see some of our favourite celebrities from the past 20 years have another go at roughing it in the great outdoors. The likes of Joe Swash, Myleene Klass, Georgia Toffolo, Carol Vorderman and Paul Burrell are thought to have already started filming the show in South Africa, although it won’t hit our screens until next year – and last week Helen was spotted arriving back at Heathrow Airport with Carol, Paul and Dean Gaffney.
