FORMER Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has sent the rumour mill churning about her return to the soap after posting a cryptic message on social media.
Last seen in 2018, the Rosie Webster actress left the cobbles to go on maternity leave – but fans of the soap are now convinced she could be making a return.
Helen revealed she was recently working in Manchester, where the popular ITV soap is filmed.
The mum-of-three shared a snap on social media as she said it was “lovely” to be back out working again.
Posting on Instagram, the ex-Celtic WAG posed in front of a mirror in a white top and grey tartan bottoms.
She completed the look with a gorgeous, thick, dark green cardigan, an over the shoulder bag and freshly done pink nails.

Captioning the post, she wrote: “I did a bit of work today in Manchester was so lovely…
“So nice to feel like Helen for a bit and not mummy. Even though mummy is my favourite name.”
The post quick racked up more than 3,500 likes and 30 comments.
And fans of the TV show were quick to speculate that it could mean a return for beloved Rosie to the Rovers.
Alongside an array of red love heart emojis, one person penned: “Helen, you absolute tease. Does this mean you’re going back to Corrie?”
Echoing their comments, someone else said: “Always loved you in Corrie! Are you returning as the great Rosie Webster?”
While a third added: “Time to do the Rosie thing again! Would be incredible to see you come home.”
Back in December, Helen was forced to rubbish rumours that she was returning to the soap.
“That’s a load of rubbish. I honestly don’t know where these stories come from. I’ve never said that. The door is left open,” she told OK! Magazine.
“I would love to go back because of course I want to achieve things for myself, but I have to put my children first.”
