Coronation Street beauty Helen Flanagan is heartbroken after splitting from the “love of her life” according to the Mirror.

The star – sexy Rosie Webster in the soap – has been close to tears on the set since breaking up with builder Daniel Scott.

A source close to the actress, who turned 19 on Friday, said: “Helen’s devastated. He was her first love. She thought they would be together forever, but it wasn’t to be. I think Helen thought Dan would be the man she would marry.”

The source added: “She’s taken the split really hard. She has been turning up to work really upset, then locking herself in her room at night. Her co-stars are really worried.”

Helen – who’s had on-screen flings with her teacher and boss since arriving in Weatherfield in 2000 – had been dating Dan, 22, for just over a year after they met in the sauna of a local gym.

They set up home in a rented flat close to the studios after just three months together. At the time, Helen revealed her mum Julia thought she was crazy, but she gushed: “He’s the love of my life. It was a bit quick but we’re pretty much inseparable now.”

Helen declined to talk about the split yesterday. But Daniel said: “I’m really down about it. We split up a week ago. It was a mutual decision and no one else was involved.”
