The news emerged three days after Helen was seen dancing with a mystery man at a friend’s birthday party — and only a few weeks after she finished filming ITV’s ITV’s I’m A Celebrity All Stars in South Africa.
Helen, 32, and Bristol Rovers footballer Scott, 33, started dating in 2009 and have three children together.
A source said: “Helen has removed her engagement ring and told those close to her that she is no longer with Scott.
"They hit a rough patch in the summer and after she came back from South Africa their relationship ended.
“Helen and Scott are committed to co-parenting their kids, even if they are no longer a couple.”
In May she revealed that the pair had not shared a bed for seven years — with Helen choosing to sleep with her children.
The couple’s careers also led to spells living apart.
The source said: “Helen turfed Scott out of their marital bed a long time ago because she co-sleeps with their kids.
“Naturally it put a strain on their relationship over the years.
"Since their split, Helen has been spending a lot of time at her mum’s in Bolton.”
