'I'm convinced it's a boy' Pregnant Helen Flanagan discusses 'crippling morning sickness'
SHE only found out she was expecting her first child late last year, but Helen Flanagan has already decided she's having a boy.
Helen Flanagan is currently three months pregnant with her first child
The former Coronation Street regular, who has admitted she has wanted to be a mother for a long time, has however found the start of her pregnancy difficult due to 'crippling' morning sickness.
In her first interview since discovering she was pregnant, the 24-year-old told OK! this week about how her relationship is stronger than ever with boyfriend Scott Sinclair.
The actress gushed: “Scott’s known I’ve wanted to be a mum since pretty early in our relationship. So when I turned 24 we both felt it was our time to finally have our baby.
"A mum really is everything I’ve genuinely wanted to be. I think it’s the best thing you can be! I’m convinced it’s a boy – I love the name Flynn.”

It hasn’t been plain sailing though as the model has been suffering from severe sickness: “I’m getting better now, but I’ve never known anything like it.
"I’ve only really been sick from hangovers but you feel like you’ve got a constant hangover. I couldn’t get out of bed some days because I was throwing up so much.”
Adding: “At the most I’d be sick five times a day. I literally didn’t leave the flat for ages.”
When asked about her footballer beau, Helen said: “Scott will be a great birthing partner too. He’s so calm and together. Plus because the baby’s due in June, which is off-season, he’ll be around to help out with the baby. I know he’ll be a fantastic dad.”
The stunner said the couple are stronger than ever
Helen announced she was pregnant in December via her Twitter page, later adding: "Happy 2015! Feeling fresh… can't wait to be a mummy this year."
She has also been posting regularly on the site about the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother, and wrote last night: "I like Chloe [Goodman]. Remember she's only 21! So young to do that show. I believe she was genuinely shocked the other night."
The full interview with Helen is in this week's OK! magazine - out now.
