Helen Flanagan turned up the heat on Instagram Friday, sharing a photo of herself in a revealing leopard-print bikini.
The 35-year-old actress, known for her role on Coronation Street, looked stunning in a chic two-piece swimsuit from Melissa Odabash while relaxing at a spa.
Flaunting her incredible figure, Helen teamed the skimpy bikini with a chic matching cover-up.
Standing beside the indoor pool, the woman styled her blonde hair in a low ponytail and added a gold watch as an accessory.
The recent photos emerged after Helen spent Christmas separated from her three children, following a difficult disagreement with her former partner, Scott Sinclair, regarding their co-parenting arrangement.
Helen shares Matilda, 10, and Delilah, seven, along with son Charlie, four, with ex-fiancé Scott.


The actress had a tough Christmas, spending the holiday away from her three children. She said her ex-partner, a former footballer, didn’t attend their son’s nativity play.
Scott recently shared a sweet Christmas moment with his children. He posted a photo of himself with all three kids, happily posing together in a wooded area.
He shared a simple message with the post: ‘Peace and happiness.’ The family also had a fun, festive outing to an ice rink, where they put on their skates and enjoyed the season.
Helen was very upset with her ex-partner, Scott, last month when he didn’t show up to their son’s school Christmas play.
The soap star split from the Bristol Rovers footballer in 2022 following 13 years together.
Okay, so here’s the deal: I’ve been following this situation with Helen and Scott, and it seems things got a little tense. Apparently, Scott shared some photos and updates from his weekend at the Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi, and Helen wasn’t happy about it. She actually called him out publicly, which is always a tricky situation! It just goes to show how important it is to be mindful of what you share and how it might be perceived, especially when you’re in a public relationship.
Re-sharing his Instagram post, Helen raged: ‘You really are a piece of s***.
‘How dare you not turn up to Charlie’s nativity.’


Scott shared photos from his trip where he saw Lando Norris win his first Drivers’ Championship.
‘What a weekend-Abu Dhabi F1,’ Scott wrote. He added: ‘Happy Days, blurry nights..’
Helen posted an adorable picture of her and her son, Charlie, after his nativity play. She wrote a heartfelt message with the photo, calling him ‘my star’ and ‘my heartbeat’.
The Daily Mail contacted Scott’s representative for comment at the time.
However, a source later revealed that Helen was actually upset because Scott was enjoying a period of carefree fun and attention after breaking up with his girlfriend, Lauren Davies, 32.
While Scott has been having fun at events like the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Helen has been busy juggling a full-time job performing in a pantomime with her family responsibilities.
Honestly, things are really tough for Helen right now. To add to her stress, it was Scott’s scheduled year to have the kids for Christmas, and she’s understandably upset. It feels like he only steps up when he wants to, and this pattern of ‘picking and choosing’ when he’s with the children is what’s really hurting her.
A source told The Sun: ‘Ever since Scott became single again things started to go downhill.
Helen has had a really difficult few months and is feeling completely exhausted. She feels like she’s doing everything she can, but Scott doesn’t seem to understand how much she’s struggling.
‘To make matters worse he is having the children for Christmas this year, which is another blow.’
According to another source, Helen is furious with how Scott is acting. He seems to be prioritizing his own needs instead of considering their children. Ultimately, Helen is their children’s mother, and he needs to be more considerate of her.
