Helen Flanagan has been cruelly trolled by mum-shamers as she looked phenomenal in a lingerie photoshoot.

The former Coronation Street actor, 32, currently starring in I'm A Celebrity... in South Africa, posed up a storm in an ad for Ann Summers, as she posed next to a picnic blanket, but some trolls tried to tear the mum-of-three down.

Helen's latest photoshoot embraced summer, as she wore yellow and blue lingerie sets in a video shared on her Instagram, which sees her pose on a picnic basket, tuck into some strawberries, eat cake and sip a glass of bubbly.

The TV star wrote in the caption: "Picnic weather... celebrate the good weather with sexy empowering summer lingerie sets from @annsummers #styledwithAS #AD."

However someone replied: "And she's still a woman who can feel sexy."

One person penned: "You've lived in Glasgow, it's 5 degrees in the summer here, if I asked the wife to stick a pair of sussies on for a picnic, she's punch my head in."

One troll wrote: "Sorry this is embarrassing not only for yourself but as a mother, one who has picnics in underwear??? And 2 the world has gone crazy."

However one follower who came to Helen's aid said: "All these negative comments!! She looks AMAZING and I'd be proud if she was my mum just because she's in her underwear doesn't make her a bad mum, its awful people are trying to mum shame, when she is a great mum!!! AND she is doing an Ann summers ad so of course she's going to be in her underwear, that's the whole point of advertisement."

Recently, Helen also shared a picture of herself in a bikini from her swimsuit collection with Moda Minx, saying "It was really empowering to do this shoot with being a mummy of three."

In scenes aired this evening, Helen cried over missing her three kids while taking part in the all stars version of I'm A Celebrity.

Helen is remembered for backing out of challenges during her first go on the show ten years ago, but signed up to show her kids she could taken on the tasks.

Speaking after volunteering to do an escape room trial with Paul Burrell, Helen said: "For me personally, I wanted to come back here and I wanted to be able to do the trials a lot better than I did last time… You change so much in 10 years.”

Helen then explained: "This is a really huge deal for me to come out here because I am never away from my babies. My little boy is only one and he is so cute."

After crying and then gathering herself, Helen said in the Bushtucker Telegraph: "Sorry. But yeah I think it is just strange because when you are a mum, you are so used to being with them all the time. But I just want to go out there and give it a good go."
