[Disgossting]

She was a regular in my old work in Glasgow and I know this is a gossip forum but she was genuinely really down to earth and lovely! I was surprised by how friendly/chatty she is considering her fame - she would bring her daughters in sometimes too and seems a good mother.
Only negative I would say is I’m not sure how she used to win sexiest woman of the year awards etc - yes she’s naturally pretty but not unbelievably so.

Attention seeking slut! I wouldn’t be right pleased if any of my Mum friends up to a kids party dressed like throw! It’s totally inappropriate!

It's 2024. Are we really still calling women 'sluts?'

Did anyone see the clip of her on Vanessa yesterday? She basically admitted her mum brings up her kids. Her mum has all their class apps, does all their homework, does all the lifts, all the dinners and all the washings. She said it’s because she’s ’always working’. Her mum is an angel by the sounds of it and does it for the kids. No wonder Scott had enough.

Yes, I saw a clip on instagram. I don't believe that 'working' stops you from being able to parent to that extent. I don't think she's mentally able to cope with kids and all that entails, and so her own parents have ended up taking over. I feel like I should be sympathetic but actually I think her own parents are enablers for allowing her to get away with this in the first place. She's acting like an Auntie, getting the good bits without the parenting.

Tbf I don’t think she can cope with the three of them on her own. Especially that boy. Although he behaves absolutely fine for his Dad.

Do we know that, though?

The bar is just so much lower for men. I don’t just mean Helen and Scott but generally. A man takes the children to the park for an hour and what a good dad; mum takes the children to the park for an hour and how disgraceful that’s all you did, and you forgot someone’s water bottle and lost a hat and what sort of mother are you?

I think it's hilarious how she saw this thread about herself and thought it was funny! Usually those on Instagram cry trolls when they stumble across Tattle. But Helen? Nah she laughs and doesn't take it seriously. Kudos to her for that in my opinion.

The Weakest Link host: “What are the White Cliffs of Dover made of: chalk or cheese?”

Helen (eyes wide and brows furrowed in deep concentration): “Hmm I don’t know Is it cheese?”

^The above actually just happened on BBC 1

 

[Prodcon21]

Loves herself so much! Yes she looks amazing, but my word, doesn’t she know it!

 

[L3moning]

If thats case then what a shitty thing to do as a father. I woukd be furious if I was her.

Well exactly, but the question would be whether she needs to air that publicly, I suppose.

When a dad has the kids every third Saturday and the third Thursday of the six weeks holiday he's an 'involved dad', the mum who has them the rest of the time is 'a mum'. If a dad plays with the kids for half an hour on Saturday afternoons and reads their bedtime story twice a week he's a 'hands on dad', the mum who does everything else is 'a mum'. Bar? What bar?

 

[GoldSilver]

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. That post about the nativity clearly didn’t go down well. I don’t see how Helen can be skint. She has loads of followers and surely gets good brand deals?

I genuinely think she’s very dim and makes very bad decisions so I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s skint.

 

[catty1]

I work in the legal field and I think it’s a combination of the Katie Price fiasco, the blatant disrespect of the law and the case law around these sorts of offences being so close together. Not my field but that’s the general thing I’ve heard said about.

From what I read she already had 6 points on her licence and as the keeper of the car it was up to her to fill in the form and say who was driving when the offences took place. She obviously is so dim she can’t even fill out a form on her own so left it for him to do And it would seem he pretended he had sent them off or some such thing! Because she hadn’t sent the form back it’s down to her to take the punishment! And as she has gone over 12 points it’s automatic ban! Wish they would come down hard on the old pricey!

 

[Lico]

She gave him 3 children. She gave up her career and a good contract. She put money into that house too. He couldn't even be arsed going to the kids Christmas play cause he was at some grand prix.

 

[Floosh]

She needs to grow up and take responsibility for her life. She needs to grow a pair where her children are concerned and start to parent them. I just can't feel sorry for someone pleading poverty in their £800,000 house, with child maintenance, £66,000 Audi and earnings last year of £70,000. What she actually means is that she hasn't enough money to pay for the lifestyle she desires. Well have any of us???!!! Helen, you earn more than enough for a comfortable lifestyle.

 

[Blackbird]

I think she's become a lot more likable and mature since having kids.

 

[TalkOfTheGram]

Well exactly, but the question would be whether she needs to air that publicly, I suppose.

I think if i was famous, in a moment of rage I honestly might. If i saw my ex who was posting that he had a great time while missing his child's nativity i would be absolutely raging. I've witnessed close friends in that position. The dad gets to go off and enjoy himself while the mother is attending dance shows and parents evening etc. Its frustrating. Especially when most of society would judge a mother for doing what he is doing. She could have posted a lot worse to be honest.

 

[Tanley]

Helen has done an interview in the DM where she says that her and the children all sleep in the same room every night. The little boy is in bed with her and the girls have a bed in her room. That doesn’t sound emotionally healthy to me, for any of them.

She talks about how she still has love for Scott but doesn’t like him, which I’m sure I’ve heard many times before. She says they don’t speak to each other at all.

They have been separated over three years now, and it would be so much better for her and the kids if she stopped saying this stuff.

Also, take this chance to move house and have a fresh start. That’s got to be better than having your ex as your landlord.

I do have a soft spot for Helen so I hope things work out for her.

I saw the clip! Working doing what exactly ? That was my 1st thought

 

[GoldSilver]

I think Scott lost patience when she moved the now ex-boyfriend into the house (the one who said he’d deal with the speeding ticket paperwork and didn’t, leading to her losing her licence in court and a hefty fine).

I don’t blame Scott here to be honest.
It’s one thing to pay for your kids and their Mum’s accommodation but Helen was taking the psis to think it was ok to move another bloke in.

 

[ohcomeon99]

Wondered if she had a thread.

Ignorance is not a defence Helen. She was smirking as she went in, obviously thought she was going to get away from it. She weaponises incompetence to such a level that I think she really believed she was above the law. I’m glad she get a just sentence, twice in 17 days shows a real disregard for safety or learning lessons. Glad this wasn’t another Katie Price fiasco.
