Helen Flanagan ranted about the loss of her driving licence and numerous parenting woes in a chaotic social media post on Thursday, five months after she was banned for speeding.
The ex Corrie actress, 34, who in January told the court her ex-footballer boyfriend Robbie Talbot was driving her £66,000 Audi Q7 when it was caught speeding twice, complained what a 'pain in the a***' it had been without a car and had been unable to run errands or go shopping for essentials due to living so remotely.
Helen was banned from the road for six months, despite claiming she was struggling financially and would not be able to afford taxis to get her children to school.
Taking to her Instagram Stories she explained her ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) had caused her to mix up paperwork to reapply for her licence, meaning the process would now be delayed further.
'I literally can't tell you what a pain in the a*** not having [my driving licence] because I live in the middle of nowhere, and of course I haven't been driving'.
'It's just been so b****y annoying, for example we are out of loo roll now and I can't pop out to the shops to get loo roll so my friend has to bring me loo roll'.

She also revealed that she an ex Scott Sinclair, with whom she shares, Matlida, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie three, were back 'co-parenting in the same house' despite their bitter split.
Helen, who has been forced to put their former £1.5M family home on the market, split from the footballer, 36, in 2022 after 13 years and earlier this month took a vicious swipe at him ahead of Father's Day.
Explaining the situation she said: 'So it's Matilda's birthday and Delilah's birthday, they had the same due date, and there is seven days between their birthdays and that's like hectic.
'So Scott is off at football but we are back co-parenting in the same house, which we don't usually do,'.
Taking a deep breath she continued: 'But it actually went OK, so obviously we have to do that because it's the kids birthdays'.
In court Helen said her isolated moorland home meant it was a 10-minute drive even to go to the shops to buy bread and milk, and that she would 'really struggle without a car' in the remote location.
The actress, who lives near Bolton, Greater Manchester, said she earned £70,000 last year – but said her income varies and that she could not afford a £10 taxi to take her son to nursery.
Prosecutor Stephen Kirk told how Helen, who already had six penalty points for speeding, failed to declare who had been driving the car when it was caught speeding at locations on Merseyside in June last year, doing 42mph in a 30mph limit and 51mph in a 40mph limit.

On her failed romance with ex Scott, Helen revealed she was the one to call time on their relationship.
She said they 'were always quietly breaking up and then getting back together' until one day she called it quits for good.
Helen told The Sun: 'In the end, it was me who decided [to break up]. I’ll always be sad it didn’t work out, and we still have love for each other, but we’re happier apart.'
Speaking to Charlotte Dawson on her Naughty Corner podcast, Helen said: 'I still love him very much, I care about him deeply, but we don't like each other.
'We don't like each other at all, we don't get on. I do know that Scott - he'd never admit it - cares about me too and he does love me.
Helen went onto say co-parenting is 'hilarious' as she revealed the pair try and avoid each other so they don't 'argue' in front of their kids (pictured 2019)

'But I'm so done, I could never have another relationship again where we would always be bickering. I haven't got another argument in me.
As women we try and do anything we can to make it work with the father of your children and I did. But I think for me if I was in a relationship with someone else it would have to be easy because I haven't got the energy in me again, I've done all that with the father of my kids.'

She continued: 'I've been a single mum for two years now. Co-parenting is hilarious, we were together for 13 years.
'The last time I saw him, I thought it was quite funny, I was taking the p*** out of him because he had a bucket hat on. I think he was trying not to laugh.
'He lives in Bath and I live in North Manchester so its about five hours and we meet in Birmingham to exchange things and the kids.
'He's throwing things in my boot and I just started taking the mickey out of his bucket hat to lighten the mood.
'We just try and not be in the same house together because the children are the priority and I want a good environment for them and I don't want them to see us arguing.'
