HELEN Flanagan has taken to Instagram to clap back at cruel trolls commenting on her weight after she posted a slew of sexy bikini snaps. The former Coronation Street actress hit out at stark remarks suggesting she looks pregnant in a candid statement on her page - admitting she's actually "happier" in herself. Helen, 34 - who recently showcased her new boyfriend Robbie Talbot on reality series Celebs Go Dating - pulled on a white halterneck bikini top and matching sarong as she posed by a pool.
In the sizzling snap, she accessorised with a handbag and styled her blonde hair into loose waves over her shoulders. The actress donned minimal make-up and flashed a smile for the sun-soaked snap. Yet she added a rather sobering Instagram caption which read: "I'm a UK size 6.
"If I've started to put weight on its maybe I'm happier and not anxious and worked up all the time so eating more." The Rosie Webster star added: "I'm really proud of my body it's given me three beautiful children." We told how Helen had wowed in the two-piece for the Celebs Go Dating final, where she was accompanied by new man Robbie Talbot.
In her Instagram image caption she wrote: "White Pool Party Finale tonight at 10pm." Yet this sadly sparked a slew of unkind comments, many of which she screen-grabbed onto her Stories. One fan quizzed: "How long before she announces she’s pregnant.
" Another wrote: "She looks it already." A third posted: "New baby?" Yet Helen's followers made sure to have her back. Celebs.
