The girlfriend of Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair has revealed that it would be an "absolute dream" to become a mother.

Former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan and the ex-Swansea City player have been at the centre of split rumours recently, but the 22-year-old has quashed such suggestions.

"I don't think I'm ready for marriage, but I've always wanted to have children," Flanagan told the Daily Mail.

"I always feel broody, I've been broody since I was about 18! I absolutely love children, I really really do.

"I probably would do it before marriage as I feel more ready to have a baby than get married. I think it would be an absolute dream to be a mum. I would love it."

The couple have been together for four years.
