Helen, who shares three children with the footballer, appeared on Loose Women on Thursday, alongside her former co-stars Sally Dynevor and Sue Cleaver, and presenters Kaye Adams and Denise Welch.
When asked if she believes in a 'happy ever after', Helen she began: 'I was with my ex Scott since I was 19 and he was like my world. I always thought we were going to be together. Always.'
Discussing mental health, Denise said: 'I just know that you really struggled - could you just take us through because you had a breakdown, a real psychotic breakdown.'
Fighting back tears and clutching Sally's hand for support, Helen - who played Sally's daughter Rosie Webster on the ITV soap - replied: 'Gosh, I didn't think I would get so emotional today!'
'I didn't really want to talk about it but the reason I did was because I was about to do a six month theatre tour, so that's why I spoke about it.
Speaking on signing up for Celebs Go Dating, Helen said: 'I've loved it, so much fun. I think you just have to be open minded and it was a great way to spend the summer.
'But I think it would take someone really special to introduce them to my children.'

Helen, who is trying to find the one on the E4 dating show, opened up on personal heartbreak following her split.
Helen has three children – Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and three-year-old Charlie with her former fiancé Scott Sinclair, but the pair split in 2022 before she made it down the aisle.
As she struggled with her emotions, she also had a frightening reaction to her ADHD medication that plunged her into psychosis.
'I really wasn't very well,' she recalls now. 'Basically I was struggling with my mental health around December and January, so I took my medication to try to make me feel better, and then unfortunately it just made things worse.'
It took weeks for Helen to recover during which she was forced to withdraw from a touring production of Cluedo that she'd hoped would mark a return to the dramatic spotlight.
She was eventually replaced by her former co-star and Strictly Come Dancing winner Ellie Leach , but will make her comeback on Celebs Go Dating instead.

Dating agent Anna Williamson, 42, revealed Helen was incredibly close to getting booted off Celebs Go Dating after breaking one of the agencies' rules.
Speaking about the juicy series, which airs later this year, Anna told The Sun: 'Helen, I just love her.
'What I will say about her though - and I don't want to spoil anything - but Helen has the biggest cliffhanger pivot of a storyline that we've ever had in Celebs Go Dating history.
''Helen nearly got thrown out of the agency two weeks ago. She did something huge which goes against all the rules of the agency.'
