Helen Flanagan thinks London is "b*tchy".
The 23-year-old actress, who currently resides in Manchester with her boyfriend Scott Sinclair, insists she won’t setting up home in the capital when she has children.
She told Star magazine: "I don’t like to be down south for too long. Even though it is amazing, it’s b*tchy. You just want someone to be really, really friendly to you.
"I just think sometimes, everyone’s a bit more friendly [up north]. If you go into a club and you’re in Manchester you can say, ‘I love your dress’ and they’ll say, ‘oh thanks’. You say that in London and they’ll be like…[gives a dirty look.]’"
Meanwhile, the former ‘Coronation Street’ star briefly split with Scott last year amid claims he cheated on her, but the brunette beauty insists their relationship is back on track.
She explained: "Everyone’s got to work at their relationship, full stop. Everything’s all about compromise. I’m very protective over [Scott], his football, that kind of thing.
"He’s really not into [reality television]. Even if we’re papped he’s like ‘ohh’. All he cares about is football."
Helen recently admitted she’d like to start trying for a baby in the summer and is even planning on coming off her acne medication to boost her chances of conceiving.
