‘2. Spend the day with the children. The Scottish nanny who I love dearly would have been lost without her when she was here as Scott always had games x I miss him calling me “Chicken”.
‘3. Swimming with the boys I never thought when she lived in Scotland that she would be a boy mother, as she was a real girl mother.
‘4. Girls 5. Kelvingrove so beautiful 6. Libby and me. We used to go to baby classes together, but I was always late, so we went to Starbucks.
‘7. One of my favorite hotels 8. My little Scottish baby, the love of my life. 9. Half an hour of peace at the spa 10. My dear crazy football boy from Spider-Man’
The trip comes after Kerry Katona defended Helen, who has been shamed in the days since she spoke out about her battle with psychosis.
Speaking about the difficulties of being a mother, Kerry, 43, praised Helen for seeking the professional help she needed and opened up about her own struggle with psychosis, for the first time.
In your weekly news! In a column for the magazine, Kerry wrote: ‘Helen Flanagan opened up about having suffered psychosis after a reaction to medication she was prescribed when she broke up with Scott Sinclair.
‘Good for her for being so open. It is very difficult to be a mother. Say what you want about “D-listers” like me, but we get it from all angles, having to juggle constant criticism with parenting and relationships. Having children is the hardest job in the world.
‘I have five and I worry constantly about all of them. The fact that Helen went to get medication is also good. When I broke up with my first husband, I self-medicated and it gave me psychosis, so she’s doing better than me.’
Helen enjoyed a cuddle with her friend Libby while wearing a stunning multi-coloured pastel coat.
Helen pouted as she took a close-up selfie with Delilah at their ‘special spot’ Loch Lomond.

It comes after Helen revealed her battle with psychosis at the end of March following a two-month hiatus from social media.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘I had a few months off social media but now I’m back xxx.
‘So basically I had a lot of mental health issues in December/January xxx. I really didn’t feel very well mentally over Christmas and I really didn’t feel much different when I took the kids away for the new year xxx
“I had a lot of difficult things that I just can’t talk about on Instagram x
“I felt terrible so I had to do my theater tour, which I was excited about, so when I came back from vacation I thought it would be better for me to take some medication to feel better and be able to cope better with being a single mother worker with three children.
“And I was struggling emotionally with the breakup with my children’s father, but I had a really bad reaction to the medication (an ADHD medication) and it sent me into a psychosis for a few days that I didn’t know I had. I was in x
“I love my children so much x this bad reaction was a few days before rehearsals started and unfortunately I wasn’t mentally well enough to do it xxx
Helen returned to Instagram after a two-month break at the end of March. Her long update is when she revealed her battle with psychosis.
“I was heartbroken because I have always been a professional actress, but I needed to stay home and feel better for myself and my children, with the help of my wonderful parents xxx
“I’ve always been honest here and I feel in a very happy place now. XXX therapy can be amazing and I feel like I’ve worked on myself through things that were quite difficult for me, but I feel lighter now.
She finished: ‘Anyway, send them love and please be kind.’
Helen became engaged to footballer Scott in 2018 after nine years of dating. Unfortunately they separated in 2022.
