Helen Flanagan defended by fans after social media trolls slammed sexy photoshoot

Helen Flanagan, the former Coronation Street actress, has been defended by her fans after trolls criticised her for a sexy photoshoot, with one supporter telling the naysayers to 'get a life'.

On Sunday, 19 November, Helen, 33, took to Instagram to share a number of snaps as she posed up a storm in a tight-fitting silk leopard print dress.

The saucy photoshoot happened after Helen was seen with a new mystery man at Sexy Fish restaurant in Manchester.

She's back on the dating scene after breaking up with footballer Scott Sinclair, the father of her three children.

They were together for 13 years and engaged for four, but split last October. They have three kids: Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and two year old Charlie.

On her recent post in the leopard print dress, Helen faced mean comments and a backlash, with trolls calling her an "embarrassment".

One troll wrote: "Here she goes again… What an embarrassment for her children." Another said: "She doesn't need to do all that posing."

A third mentioned Helen's recent boob job and said: "Put them away kids on here ffs."

Fans quickly jumped to Helen's defence, with one responding to a troll: "Oh god get a life Karen."

Another also hit back at trolls as they shared: "I will never know why people follow that they disapprove or don't like….if people get on my wick, I unfollow. Problem solved for everyone."

A third supporter added: "Leave her alone why is she an embarrassment she's young and confident in herself."

Yet another follower chimed in: "You sound very bitter? Why follow someone that's such an embarrassment? She look after her children , why does it matter what she dresses like? Jealousy?"

The Sun recently confirmed that Helen is back on the dating scene as an insider revealed: "Helen's officially back on the dating scene – she's been seeing someone on/off for a while but has said they're better off as friends, but she did really like dating him. Everything's really casual and she's taking things slow – she doesn't want anything serious."

Helen also shared about her newfound single status and how she's regaining her confidence after her split from ex Scott: "I'm just myself on Instagram. What my life actually is. I'm just myself… Yeah, I find my social media quite therapeutic really. I like being honest about situations really.

"I am trying to do that with motherhood… it has been a weird adjustment for me. Over the past year really. I was with my fiance for a really long time – when I was 19 to 31 and he was my whole world.

"But yeah, and then, before that, I had a boyfriend when I was 17. My whole adult life – I've never been single or on my own. That, over the past year, has been quite an adjustment for me."
