Helen and Scott confirmed they had parted ways two years ago after a 13-year romance and three children with one another.

In a new interview with the , she confessed that they mostly communicate through their parents in a bid to avoid having to speak to one another.

"I’d never speak badly about their father in front of them, it’s about the kids and them being happy."

Helen instead enjoys a close bond with Scott's mum which has been beneficial for them.

She even admitted to bitching about Scott to his own mum during periods where she needs to offload.

The star said: "It’s funny sometimes, because I’ll ring her and forget that he’s her son, because I’ll have a bitch about him.

"But I get on really well with her, and she’s a great nana to the kids."

Although Helen and Scott barely speak to one another, she did confess that one of the few times they have found time to have a giggle with one another was when she came across her ex on a dating app.

Elsewhere, Helen said it was "hilarious" when she was first confronted by plenty of men when she signed up to look for love on an app.

She added to the Mail: "I found the whole thing hilarious because obviously I’d never dated before and seeing all these men on this app made me laugh so much."

Helen created her profile alongside her Nan and was forced to use a snap of herself pregnant to interest potential love interests after being unhappy with any other pictures of herself.

The Celebs Go Dating beauty said through laughter: "The only picture I could find that I liked of myself was when I was pregnant, so we just zoomed in on my face and we couldn’t stop laughing."
