Former Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan has been hit with a slew of nasty comments accusing her of 'attention-seeking' after posting a sexy photo of herself on Instagram.
The mum-of-three shared the stunning shot of herself, wearing a skin-tight snakeskin print dress, with her long blonde locks and natural make-up, accentuating her bright blue eyes. Helen captioned the snap: "Alpha female", and while most followers were complimentary towards the single mum, some took to the comments to share their criticism of the actress.
One cruel troll jibed: "You're not an alpha. Alphas are intelligent tactful and reserved until they need to be. You're STUPID brash and crave attention. You're a zeta. The likes of Michelle Rodriguez are alpha females."

She has 3 beautiful children, she should focus on them!!!" While another ordered Helen: "Put the bust and the blonde hair away," and a fourth said: "Heavily filterd. What's the point? Looks nothing like you!"
And while there were comments from the more miserable social media users, many fans couldn't wait to tell Helen how incredible she looked. One said: "Absolutely stunning & my ref pic for hair color wen i go 2 the salon," another added: "Gorgeous dress Helen. You look amazing in it." A third wrote: "Beautiful as always."

Helen, who split from her ex-fiance of five years, and partner of 13, Scott Sinclair last July, is back on the dating scene, having shared a video of her and daughter Matilda, 7, discussing her upcoming date. She is also mum to four-year-old daughter Delilah and two-year-old son Charlie.
Sharing on TikTik, the sweet video showed the mum getting her daughter's approval for her date with a mystery man. Matilda said: "My mum's going on a date with someone tomorrow and I think she said he's very hot." Helen blushed: "Do you like the look of him? I think he looks quite nice." Matilda replied: "But you think he's really hot."

Helen agreed, saying: "Most of them look really creepy don't they...." And Matilda confirmed: "Yes!"
Helen is trying out dating following the shock split with Scott, with The Sun claiming: "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."
