'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.'
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.
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.

Elsewhere in the chat, Helen, who has been busy filming the new series of Celebs Go Dating, admitted she was previously on celebrity dating app Raya.
She said: 'Being single is, wow. There are some awful men out there.
'I did have Raya on my phone and Matilda would sit on my phone and she would go through the guys on the dating app and would laugh at them. She would go to school and be like, "my mum has a boys app".
'I don't have the app anymore, I did go on a few dates from there but I kind of felt a bit...but it was hilarious at the beginning.
Her latest interview comes after Celeb Go Dating's dating agent Anna Williamson, 42, revealed Helen was incredibly close to getting booted off the show 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.
