Helen Flanagan has responded to critics who have previously mum-shamed her for posting pictures of herself sipping on wine while with her kids and posing in risqué outfits.
The former Coronation Street actress is a mum to three children, Matilda, eight, and Delilah, four, and Charlie, two, who she shares with her ex Scott Sinclair.
However, in the past 33 year old Helen has faced social media trolls who have commented on her behaviour, leading her to explain how “proud” she is of her relationship with her three little ones.
Defending herself on her Instagram Stories, the soap star shared a picture of her holding her daughter’s hand alongside the caption: “Really proud of the relationships I have with my kids. That is the most important thing to me. As long as I have my kids I'm cool.”
Helen’s post comes after she was criticised by some after she posted a picture with her children earlier this month, where she was seen wearing a sports bra and pink pyjama bottoms, enjoying a glass of wine while her three kids played.
She also recently faced mum-shamers when she shared some stunning snaps on Instagram of herself sitting on her living room floor wearing a daring leopard print dress and showing off her stunning figure.
Not everyone was a fan of these pictures and some people couldn't get past the fact that she was posing with her mouth open. One person even criticised her, saying: “Here she goes again… What an embarrassment for her children.”
Meanwhile, another wrote: “Helen you are such a lovely person and have a lovely family, yet its so sad that you are always posting provocative pictures when you really don't need too, it's such a shame for your lovely family xxx”.
But many of Helen's fans were quick to defend her and took to the comments to praise the actress. One Instagram user wrote: “Helen's posts are not hurting anyone, they're empowering women to feel body confident.”
Another supporter told Helen: “I’ll never understand some of the negative comment on here – why do women (yes women) feel a need to tear each other down. Helens post are not hurting anyone, they’re empowering women to feel body confident. No worse than walking along a beach!”
And a third wrote: “You know what… if you were my daughter I’d be so dam proud of you. You look stunning and like you are having fun. You go girl."
