Overview

• Flanagan says she will “dig deep” with no glossing over or airbrushing as she recounts painful experiences and personal growth.
• She recalls becoming extremely unwell in January 2024, including a breakdown and brief psychosis linked to a medication reaction, and says writing helped as she later received an ADHD diagnosis.
• The memoir covers motherhood and mental health topics such as PMDD, OCD, postnatal depression and body image, alongside reflections on her years as Rosie Webster on Coronation Street.
• Coverage notes context she plans to address, including her 2022 split from ex‑fiancé Scott Sinclair and co‑parenting their three children, a brief 2025 relationship with Robbie Talbot ending, reported house price cuts and a reported six‑month driving ban.
