Helen andĀ Bristol RoversĀ footballerĀ Scott startedĀ datingĀ in 2009 and have three children together.

And in a pointed dig at her former flame recently, Helen re-shared a quote on herĀ InstagramĀ Stories.

It read: ā€œWhenever Iā€™m having a bad day I just stop and remind myself at least I donā€™t have my exā€™s name tattooed on my body.ā€

TheĀ newsĀ of Helen and Scottā€™s split emerged three days after Helen was seen dancing with a mystery man at a friendā€™s birthday party ā€” and only a few weeks after she finished filming ITVā€™s ITVā€™s Iā€™m AĀ CelebrityĀ All Stars in South Africa.

A source said: ā€œHelen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott.

"They hit a rough patch in theĀ summerĀ and after she came back from South Africa their relationship ended.

ā€œHelen and Scott are committed to co-parenting their kids, even if they are no longer a couple.ā€

Helen revealed that the pair had not shared a bed for seven years ā€” with Helen choosing toĀ sleepĀ with her children.

The coupleā€™s careers also led to spells living apart.

The source said: ā€œHelen turfed Scott out of their marital bed a long time ago because she co-sleeps with their kids.

ā€œNaturally it put a strain on their relationship over the years.ā€

Talking about her and Scottā€™s sleeping arrangements, Helen said last year: ā€œIt would beĀ niceĀ to actually share a bed and not feel like flatmates.
