EXCLUSIVE: Actress Helen Flanagan opens up about tackling her mental health and putting the kids first, telling OK! 'I went into survival mode – I was breaking down'
As she poses with her three children by the tranquil Merseyside coast in what is possibly her most candid interview ever, it’s obvious actress Helen Flanagan has come a long way since the “very scary” psychosis episode she thought might rob her of everything she holds dear.
