Helen Flanagan is anticipated to return to Coronation Street after leaving the soap six years ago, according to betting experts.

Following an array of social media rumours last week that she’d agreed for a third stint on the ITV programme, Flanagan is odds-on at 4/6 to appear on the show again.

Lee Astley, spokesperson for betideas.com, said: “Speculation around Helen Flanagan’s next move in television is rife following a series of social media clues and some fans are convinced that Rosie Webster is set for another return to the Coronation Street cast.

“Flanagan is therefore 4/6 to appear on the ITV show again, which is the leading selection in what’s next for the actress, including joining the cast of Hollyoaks (7/2), Emmerdale (5/1) and EastEnders (12/1).”

The reason for her departure was to "pursue other interests." Since her exit, Helen has had a tough few years as in 2022 she called time on her relationship with footballer Scott Sinclair.

The duo, who were together for 13 years, started dating when Helen was only 19 years-old. Following the split, Helen announced to her fans that she had been diagnosed with psychosis.

Earlier this year, Helen was due to appear in the stage production of Cluedo 2 as Miss Scarlett, but was forced to pull out due to medical reasons. Her role was replaced by Strictly Come Dancing winner Ellie Leach.
