Helen Flanagan is supported by her best pal Brooke Vincent as she leaves the Pride Of Britain Awards

Helen Flanagan was supported by her pal and co-star Brooke Vincent on Monday evening, as she left the Pride Of Britain Awards.

The former Coronation Street star, 32, looked incredible in a red minidress and held tightly onto 30-year-old Brooke’s hand as they exited London’s Grosvenor House.

However, her sparkling engagement ring was noticeably absent from her ring finger amid reports her relationship with fiancé Scott Sinclair is ‘on the rocks‘.

Despite her romance woes, Helen plastered on a smile as she climbed into a waiting taxi with her best friend, who played her sister on Corrie.

Helen radiant exit comes amid split rumours with her footballer partner of 13 years, Scott.

The former soap star was pictured not wearing her engagement ring as she arrived in London on Monday ahead of the Pride Of Britain Awards.

While she hasn’t publicly worn her diamond ring for a month, including on the red-carpet at the National Television Awards last week and at Jorgie Porter’s baby shower on Sunday.

The couple, who have three children, Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and Charlie, one, have apparently spent considerable time apart since the summer due to Scott, 33, building up his fitness with Chelsea at their training ground in Cobham, Surrey.

Last week, Scott sealed a move back to his boyhood club Bristol Rovers until the end of the season, after he was released by Preston North End, meaning he will likely be living 180 miles away from the family home in Cheshire.

Helen’s representative declined to comment when approached by MailOnline.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Helen and Scott have endured a testing few months.

‘Uncertainty over Scott’s footballing career and the fact they haven’t been able to spend much quality time together has put a strain on their relationship.

‘The children are their world and main priority, and they will always ensure nothing affects them.

‘Helen has been putting herself out there, it’s very much business as usual in her career and she won’t allow issues in her personal life to bring her down.’

Helen was last seen wearing her diamond engagement ring on TikTok last month but since then has filmed all her Instagram content without it.

The annual Pride of Britain Awards returned for a 23rd year at London’s Grosvenor House on Monday evening, with Carol Vorderman and Ashley Banjo co-hosting the star-studded affair.

Taking place since 1999, the ceremony honours the achievements of truly remarkable people from across the UK and all walks of life – nominated by members of the public.

After a shortlist has been produced from the thousands of entries, winners are chosen by the Pride of Britain judging panel.

Despite taking place on Monday evening, the ceremony will be aired on ITV on Thursday 27 October at 8pm.

Carol, who has hosted the event for 23 years since 1999, said: ‘We’ll have 12 incredible winners again this year, but it’s difficult for the judging panel because we have thousands of nominations and everyone on the shortlist could easily win.’

The Pride Of Britain awards will honour winners in eight categories; TSB Community Hero Award, ITV Fundraiser Of The Year, Good Morning Britain Young Fundraiser of the Year, This Morning Emergency Services Award, Outstanding Bravery, Child/Teenager of Courage, Lifetime Achievement and Special Recognition.

A slew of famous faces are set to attend the bash, including David Beckham, Dame Joan Collins, Sir Mo Farah and many more.
