Helen Flanagan's return: Rosie Webster is back on Coronation Street

Tucked into a cosy booth in the Rovers Return, Helen Flanagan is feeling emotional.

The actress is back on the Coronation Street set after a five-year absence, but it’s her 19-month-old daughter, Matilda, who is playing on her mind.

“It was my little girl’s first day at nursery today, and I knew I would cry,” explains Flanagan, who’s reprised her role as wild child Rosie Webster in the hit ITV soap.
