Helen Flanagan says Travelodge staff threatened police over late check-out
Key Points
  • Helen Flanagan claims Travelodge staff threatened police after she overslept check-out
  • Flanagan is touring in Mother Goose pantomime and stayed at a Northampton Travelodge
  • Travelodge's standard check-out is midday, with possible late check-out at 2pm

Helen Flanagan is currently touring the nation in the Easter pantomime of Mother Goose, with the tour stopping in Mansfield earlier this week before participants headed to Northampton, staying at a Travelodge hotel ahead of their performance the next day. She discovered there were no shower facilities at the theatre she was due to appear in, adding to her travel challenges. The standard check-out time at a Travelodge is midday, with check-in starting at 3pm, and guests can check with their hotel to see whether late check-out is available during their stay and can check out at 2pm.

Travelodge has reached out to Helen Flanagan directly and is speaking with the hotel team to understand what happened, according to a statement from the hotel chain. It remains unclear what specific actions staff took that led to the threat of police involvement, whether Flanagan was aware of the check-out time before the incident, or the outcome of Travelodge's investigation. Helen Flanagan is preparing to return to TV screens and had a run-in with an ex-partner on Celebrity Ex On The Beach.

We are sorry to hear that Helen was disappointed with her stay. We have reached out to her directly and are speaking with the hotel team to understand what happened on this occasion.
