Helen Flanagan has been hit with a nasty backlash over her latest Instagram post as trolls branded her an “embarrassment”.
The 33-year-old former Coronation Street star posted a variety of shots in leopard print lingerie and cheekily captioned the post: “Get some stories for when you’re a granny @agentprovocateur.” But trolls were quick to criticise the mum-of-three with one writing: “Here she goes again... What an embarrassment for her children.” Another said: “She doesn’t need to do all that posing.” A third commented on Helen’s recent boob job and added: “Put them away kids on here ffs.”
However, other fans showed their support for Helen. One commented: “What happened to women supporting women? Let her post what she’s wants, she’s not harming anyone. If it’s not your cup of tea, then simply unfollow. Don’t feel like you can just snipe at her with nasty remarks. Jesus.”

Your glow is paying your bills.” While a third leapt to her defence saying: “You know what... if you were my daughter I’d be so damn proud of you. You look stunning and like you are having fun. You go girl.”
The post comes weeks after Helen revealed she was back in the dating game after splitting from footballer and father of her three kids Scott Sinclair. Helen and Scott after being together for 13 years and engaged for four. They share Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and two-year-old Charlie.

In a video clip posted to social media, her oldest daughter Matilda revealed: "My mum's going on a date with someone tomorrow and I think she said he's very hot." A blushing Helen replied: "Do you like the look of him? I think he looks quite nice." Matilda then replied: "But you think he's really hot."
Helen said: "Yeah I know but Matilda I'm a bit nervous actually because I don't know him." Her daughter said: "Yeah but you have this dating app, so you look at these boys but some of them do this, [creating a boy impression]." The Corrie star continued: "Most of them look really creepy don't they...." And Matilda joked: "Yes."
The Sun has claimed that Helen is indeed back dating again, with a source saying: "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.”
Opening up about her new single status, Helen said she is rediscovering her confidence after splitting from ex Scott: "I'm just myself on . 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 fiancé 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.”
