Helen Flanagan fighting 'to save relationship with footie ace Scott Sinclair'

Helen Flanagan and her Manchester United footie ace boyfriend Scott Sinclair are reportedly living separate lives under the same roof.

A friend told the Daily Star that the 22-year-old actress is battling to save the four-year relationship as she is still clinging to the belief that she can save it.

The friend said that Flanagan is making it difficult for Sinclair to not break up with her and walk away, as she is a very emotional person.

The pal asserted that the couple have had some sensational bust-ups with Flanagan chucking the odd pot in rage and frustration.

According to reports, the couple often sleep in different rooms in their 2.4 million pounds mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire, after a series of bust-ups that saw the former 'Coronation Street' star breaking crockery in anger.

Pals are convinced that last Monday night's break-in at their 6,500 pounds -a-month rented home will be the death knell for the couple's ailing relationship.
