Helen Flanagan has taken to Instagram to hit back at online trolls who shamed her choice of clothing as a mum of three. The former Coronation Street star posted a cheeky video of herself posing in the back of a car wearing a low-cut top, accompanied by an audio clip directed at mum-shamers.
Backlash and Response
The audio states: "And sometimes, the outfit is t*tty, sometimes the outfit is just breast. You understand what I’m saying?" She captioned the post: "Your a mum you shouldn’t dress like that. Never bought a drink in my life [sic]."
Fan Support
Many fans shared their support in the comments. One person wrote: "Love this response just block the divs." Another branded the actress an "absolute babe" followed by a fire emoji. A third commented: "Never stop Helen, you are the best lol!"
Personal Journey
The I'm a Celebrity star has three children – Matilda, 11, Delilah, eight, and Charlie, five – with her ex-fiancé, footballer Scott Sinclair. After breastfeeding, she underwent breast surgery in 2023, reportedly costing £5,000. She has taken pride in the results since then.
Flanagan has faced routine trolling for wearing outfits some believe mums 'shouldn't wear'. Last summer, she said she wouldn't let negativity affect her despite being called "embarrassing" for posting sexy pictures. She explained that after breastfeeding her youngest, she wanted the surgery straight away as she felt she could "tie them in a bow". She added: "This was something I wanted to do for a really long time and by doing so I’ve really got my confidence back."
Dating and Privacy
Over the past four years, Flanagan has reentered the dating world after her 13-year relationship with Sinclair ended. She believes her next relationship will be with her husband. Insisting on privacy, she said: "I think it will be the real thing. I will choose to protect it and I will keep that private. I will probably say who that person is, but I will want to protect it. I will want to keep it private."
She also noted that while she may have been too honest in her book Head and Heart: Break-ups, Breakdowns and Being Rosie, there is "no taking it back" now.
