Tearful Helen Flanagan tells court ‘I’m struggling financially’ as she’s banned from driving

Wirral: Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan was in tears at court today. She faced a driving ban after being caught speeding twice. The actress, known for her role as Rosie Webster, was banned after failing to identify the driver of her car.

Helen, a single mum of three, argued that she needed her car to manage daily life. She lives in a remote area, making it tough to get around without a vehicle. Public transport isn’t an option for her, and she mentioned how hard it would be to get her kids to nursery without a car.

In court, she shared her struggles with mental health and how she relies on therapy. Helen also talked about her financial situation, saying her income from social media has dropped recently. She emphasized that being a mum is her main job, and she’s finding it tough to make ends meet.

Despite her pleas, the magistrates decided to ban her from driving for six months. They also imposed a fine and court costs. Helen seemed grateful as she left the courtroom, but it’s clear this has been a challenging time for her.
