The blonde bombshell showed off her famous curves and flawless figure in the stunning two piece.

Helen had her blonde hair scraped back into a bun, and was seen laughing and joking with her daughter.

The star captioned the clip with: “Been planning my trips for 2026.

“My love life may always be in tatters but I have been so very blessed with three beautiful children.

“I’m planning a little trip to Lake Como with Matilda and a one to one trip with Delilah to Bangkok to see my brother and nephew.

“As a single mum of three, I’ve learnt that little one-on-one trips feel so much more manageable (and meaningful) than trying to do everything all at once.

“It gives me the chance to really be present with each of them.”

Helen’s fans immediately rushed to comment, with one saying: “Just adorable.”

She’s also understood to feel put out by and the kids and only help contribute to a smaller and less-costly home.

Insiders told OK Magazine : “Helen feels Scott has been really distant recently and hasn’t been as involved as he used to be, or giving her any attention,

“She’s really disappointed in him as a former partner and as a dad, and in her eyes he’s just sort of left her to it a lot, with the house and the kids.

“It’s not something she’s really done before – she’s always spoken pretty highly of him – but at that moment she felt enough was enough. She didn’t see why she was protecting him given she feels so let down.

“There’s definitely more Helen wants to say. She feels totally let down, so this could be the tip of the iceberg.”

The insider added to the publication: “She thinks she’s gone quite lightly on Scott so far, but he can’t believe some of the things she’s said.

“She’s looking to date again but she always goes for the bad boys, and all her family and friends say she has to stop it.”

Helen and Scott were at first believed to have had an amicable split.

However, it became apparent that things had become bad between the pair after a rocky 12 months last year.

In December, things took a very public turn in the break-up when

It came after he didn’t attend their son Charlie’s nativity and instead went on a lavish trip to Abu Dhabi.
