Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan has hit back at trolls who shame her on social media for posting racy snaps. The I'm a Celebrity star is mum to Matilda, eight, Delilah, five, and Charlie, two, whom she shares with her ex, footballer Scott Sinclair.
Helen, who rose to fame playing Rosie Webster on the cobbles, now works predominantly as a social media influencer, posting glamorous snaps on her Instagram. But Helen, who regularly models lingerie sets, is often the target of 'mum-shaming' trolls who slam her for her revealing looks.
Speaking to The Sun about the trolling, while on the carpet of the Pride of Britain Awards in London, she said: "It's because I like to dress sexy, it's silly. "I'm very much for women empowerment.
I like women to feel confident, and I think women should celebrate ourselves." Helen has also been open about her recent breast augmentation, after giving herself a 'mummy makeover.' She added: "Do you know what? I really needed it. I breastfed for three years." Helen, who split from her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair last year after a 13-year relationship and three children, said that she is spending her 30s 'having fun.' The 33 year old explained she spent her 'whole twenties' at home 'either pregnant or breastfeeding.' She described motherhood as 'really hard' and admits that, like many others, she suffers 'mum guilt' when she has to work.
The actress also addressed if she would ever consider a return to Coronation Street.
While she confessed she would 'love to go back so much,' she said it was unlikely to happen any time soon because of her co-parenting arrangements. She explained that her ex, Scott, is now living 'five hours away' in Bath for work, making it difficult to find spare time.
