Helen Flanagan has said that she would love to return to Coronation Street<\/a> \u2013 and she\u2019s even thought about a potential storyline for her alter ego.<\/p>\n

The star has been known for starring as Rosie Webster since 2000. After leaving the ITV soap in 2012, Flanagan returned to the role in 2017 before departing the following year.<\/p>\n

But that may not be the last we\u2019ve seen of Rosie, who was always on hand to deliver fun and entertainment to the show.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Daily Star<\/a> at the ITV Palooza Awards this week, Flanagan revealed that she\u2019d like Rosie to return to Corrie as a mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would come back as a mum I think. I\u2019d love to see her as a mum. I think that would be really interesting if that was why she went away.\u201d<\/p>\n

The star added that Rosie would likely hand over her child to mum Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) for all babysitting duties. \u201cI think she would probably just leave the baby with Sally and she\u2019d be out all the time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As for the backstory, Flanagan has that covered too. \u201cI would love a scandalous baby daddy,\u201d she teased. \u201cThat would be really good actually. Maybe not knowing the dad, that would be really amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could Coronation Street take her up on her idea? We\u2019d certainly love to see the actress back on our screens.<\/p>

A source previously hinted that a comeback was in the works, telling The Sun<\/a>: \u201cHelen\u2019s talking about plans to return \u2013 not this year, but maybe late next year. Bosses have made it clear they\u2019d welcome her back and she sees the soap cast as family.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe misses them, and playing Rosie, a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch this space. Perhaps we\u2019ll be welcoming her back to the cobbles very soon!<\/p>\n

As for the immediate future, though, Flanagan is rumoured to be appearing on I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026 All Stars<\/a>, which is due to air next year.<\/p>\n

Having first appeared on the ITV reality show back in 2012, she was voted to do several Bushtucker Trials during her stint. Flanagan\u2019s co-stars are believed to include fellow I\u2019m a Celebrity alumni Gillian McKeith, EastEnders\u2019 Dean Gaffney and Corrie co-star Andrew Whyment.<\/p>\n
