Helen Flanagan has been cruelly body-shamed after sharing a racy picture of her enjoying a weekend away in London, with fans rushing to support the star from critics.

The former Coronation Street star, 33, took to Instagram to reveal she had been treated to a night away in a sponsored post, and shared a slideshow of images for her fans. “My home away from home in London @melondonhotel @me_by_melia #MELondon #giftedstay,” she captioned the photos.

In one snap, the mum-of-three posed in the hotel lobby wearing a double denim outfit, and in another, she relaxed on the bed while smiling for the camera. But it was a risque mirror selfie, showing Helen wearing a pair of short silver pyjamas with a plunging neckline, which didn’t impress some of her followers.

“Why do you vary from a soft porn star to a Mum in one post?” one fumed. “Wow! Nice to see you with clothes on,” a second added sarcastically. “You have a lovely figure Helen but you also have 3 young children and I don’t think you’re setting a very good example to your daughters,” another interfered. “Why do u have to dress like that have some respect u think u work for playboy,” one furious follower added, as one menacingly asked: “What does she expect posting pictures like that?”

However, Helen was defended by her legions of loyal followers, including her famous friends. “She feeling herself,” former Made in Chelsea star Ashley James commented, as the actress cheekily replied: “she is.” Carol Vorderman was another supporter, as well as ex-Love Island contestant Anna Vakili, who added: “Beautiful.”

Her fans were also quick to heap praise on her racy selfie, with one commenting: “Don’t like it move along. Personally after 3 kids I think helen looks amazing and so body confident too.” “Good on you girl, enjoy yourself,” another added. “What a stunning gorgeous body you have Helen!” one wrote. “Full of Life, the juices are flowing. Go on Girl,” another praised.

Helen has been open about her decision to undergo breast enhancement earlier this year, after she went from a natural E cup to less than a B cup after breastfeeding all three of her children - Matilda, 7, Delilah, 4, and Charlie, 2. The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star confessed her boobs had become “really saggy” and underwent the procedure to give herself more confidence.

“I'm actually really nervous about sharing this actually but I've had a boob job. I had it done on Thursday. Yeah, so I'm in recovery at the moment,” she said in a video on her Instagram Stories, shortly after the op. “It's just something that I did for myself, I really wanted to do it for my confidence. I think if something really is bothering you, then I think, you know, it's a good thing to do something about it. There's no other nice way to say it, they just sagged. They became really saggy. It just really affected my confidence.”

The former soap star is regularly criticised on social media, and was recently blasted for sharing a post about her kids going back to school. Helen posted a picture of herself cuddling her eldest child Matilda as she said she didn't want her kids to go to school, and alongside the sweet snap, she wrote: “Don’t want my babies to go back tomorrow best summer with them, memories made x.” However, some fans disagreed with her and thought she didn't really mean it. “Said no mum ever (can’t wait send mine back),” one taunted, as a second agreed: “Bulls**t you can't wait for it.”
