Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan, 36, displayed a striking bite on her neck while attending an Ann Summers Halloween celebration at The Box in Soho on Thursday evening. The London nightspot hosted a themed event for the spooky season, and the actress chose a corset and red skirt that echoed the style of Wuthering Heights' Catherine Earnshaw.

Followers on social media noted the decorative vampire bite and speculated that the single actress might be sporting a love bite. One comment read, "What u done to your neck?" [sic], while another asked, "Who bit your neck?" and a third added, "Ooft, the neck lol." [sic]

Flanagan's outing comes after former fiancé Scott Sinclair disclosed that their five-year-old son Charlie has required hospital treatment. Sinclair, who also has daughters Matilda, 11, and Delilah, eight with Flanagan, posted a photo of Charlie in a hospital bed on Wednesday, captioning it "My little soldier" and showing the boy giving a thumbs up while wearing an oxygen mask. The footballer did not explain the circumstances or whether Charlie would remain in the hospital.

The couple were together for thirteen years and engaged for four before ending their relationship in October 2022. They have maintained a tense co-parenting dynamic, often exchanging public criticisms. Earlier this year, Flanagan was forced to vacate the family home, which was solely owned by Sinclair, after he sold it. She has spoken about the stress caused by the move and her reluctance to relocate.
