Mum-of-three Helen said she loves modelling lingerie and plans to do it into her 60s.
She recently split with former non-league footballer Robbie Talbot, 45, after a year together.
The former Corrie star, 34, had claimed she wanted children with the ex-non-league footie star, 45.
But friends say the mum of three instead now wants to concentrate on her career and family.
A source said: 'They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids.
She sat him down two weeks ago and said, 'This isn't working'. It was a grown-up chat.
'She just wants to be on her own for a while although she still has feelings for him.'
She met divorced dad Robbie in a bar just as she was about to go on E4's Celebs Go Dating.

TV tonight: excellent crime drama The Gold reaches its big end
9pm, BBC One The net is beginning to close around the Brink's-Mat villains in this penultimate episode of the enjoyable crime drama. John Palmer has a galloping cocaine habit and dozens of angry pensioners to deal with in Tenerife. Charlie Miller is finding that exile in Costa Rica doesn't offer total protection. And Kenneth Noye has attracted the attention of the police for a brutal and brand new crime. The story is labyrinthine and the cast, led by Hugh Bonneville, Jack Lowden and Charlotte Spencer, is excellent. Phil Harrison 5.30pm, ITV1 A week after the event, here are highlights from Capital's big Wembley pop gig, and the lineup is impressively starry. As well as Jade, Lola Young and Renee Rapp are veteran chart-toppers including Jessie J, Will Smith and the regal headline act, Mariah Carey. Jack Seale 8.15pm, BBC One Nothing about this cosy crime drama is groundbreaking and the premise of this episode feels strikingly familiar: a murder mystery event that turns into a real-life crime scene. Surely a situation in which Timothy Spall's crime-fighting thesp John Chapel will be in his element? If only he wasn't distracted by the prospect of romance. PH 9pm, BBC Four Ahead of a repeated Proms performance from siblings Sheku and Braimah Kanneh-Mason, this documentary finds Sheku talking to John Wilson about his influences. These include his paternal grandfather, the cellist Jacqueline du Pré and reggae superstar Bob Marley. PH 10pm, BBC Two The final episode of this perennial music series sees Jools welcoming Self Esteem, AKA Rebecca Lucy Taylor, to the Alexandra Palace theatre for a chat and a couple of tunes from her new album. Supporting turns include Tom Odell, Emma-Jean Thackray, Ezra Furman and Greentea Peng. Plus Guy Garvey pops in for a chat. PH 10.25pm, Channel 4 It's go-time for June (Elisabeth Moss) and Moira (Samira Wiley) as the moment to execute their deadly plan arrives. Elsewhere in the final series of the haunting dystopian drama, Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) is shocked by a betrayal on her big day and makes a major decision for her and her son Noah. Nicole Vassell In a Lonely Place, 2pm, Talking Pictures TV An unusual romantic lead at the best of times, Humphrey Bogart really pushed the boat out in terms of audience sympathy in this 1950 Nicholas Ray film. His Hollywood screenwriter Dixon Steele is sardonic and bitter, with a history of getting into fights. And when he is suspected of the murder of a hat-check girl, his blithe indifference raises the hackles of the cops. That doesn't stop new neighbour Laurel (a superb Gloria Grahame) falling for him, but as she gets to know Dixon better her suspicions rise. An edgy mystery, with Bogart an opaque, menacing presence. Simon Wardell Stagecoach, 12.45pm, 5Action Celebrated for making stars of John Wayne and its chief location, Monument Valley, John Ford's 1939 film also showed that the western could allow for moral complexity in between shootouts. With renegade Apache Geronimo on the warpath, an assortment of ill-matched passengers find themselves on a dangerous journey. These include Wayne's escaped convict, a sex worker, a drunken doctor, a cavalry officer's wife and a thieving bank manager. Naturally, the rough and ready types prove more reliable than their social betters when push comes to shove. SW Happy Gilmore, 9pm, Comedy Central Just in case the upcoming Netflix sequel doesn't quite live up to expectations, here's Adam Sandler's 1996 slapstick comedy to prove where most of its best jokes originated. Sandler's Happy is a dreadful ice-hockey player with a hair-trigger temper but he possesses a stupendously hard shot, which when adapted to the game of golf proves an unlikely boon. The disconnect between the etiquettes of the two sports is fertile ground for laughs, as is Sandler's man-child shtick. SW Saltburn, 10.30pm, BBC One Writer-director Emerald Fennell has her gateau and eats it in this dark comedy thriller, satirising the British aristocracy while revelling in their massive houses and insouciant confidence. Barry Keoghan is the cuckoo in the gilded nest, Oxford undergrad Oliver, who is befriended by the genial, upper-class Felix (Jacob Elordi) and taken home to the country pile to meet his folks, Lady Elspeth (Rosamund Pike) and Sir James (Richard E Grant). The subsequent intrigue and flagrant rug-pulling as Oliver struggles to fit in make for a vivacious, vicious experience. SW

Volunteer record for Peterborough litter picking group
A city litter picking group is reporting a record number of volunteers to help tackle the problem of dumped Litter Wombles Association said its membership had never been so high, with pickers passing 300 for the first group, which formed in 2021, said in the last two years it had collected about 10,000 bags of rubbish, plus many larger fly-tipped group's chairman, Harry Machin, said "all sorts of people from four-year-olds to pensioners approaching 80 love to litter pick". Mr Machin said he was thrilled to see record numbers coming together to clean up the city."It is not all retired people - we have a lot of working volunteers too," he said."There are lots of groups around Peterborough including PE4 Wombles and groups in the Ortons, Hamptons, Dogsthorpe and Bretton, all doing great work and very effective."He said there was a social aspect to joining a litter pick too - and it meant people could meet others and stay fit, while getting the satisfaction from their area being tidier. Samantha Dolby, 48, has been with the Wombles since last April and has a full-time job."I maintain a Womble bin and the lamppost rubbish bags in my area, change them and gather them for collection," she collected "sweet wrappers, vapes, tinned drink cans, alcohol bottles, fag packets, all sorts really", she added."When I'm out and about, if I see any litter, I have to pick it up. I walk my dogs twice a day and always pick up something or other." Margaret Faulkner, 78, has volunteered since Peterborough Litter Wombles formed and said the public really appreciated what the group did."What starts out as a quick litter pick for an hour turns into three hours, because everybody wants to speak to us."Little children all seem to know me and say 'hello' - it really is lovely."
