Helen Flanagan admits having surgery to boost her confidence

Helen Flanagan has admitted to going under the knife after having confidence struggles as a breastfeeding mum.

The 32-year-old former Coronation Street star took to Instagram to share the news, saying she was "really nervous" she would get "not very nice comments", but felt she needed to tell the truth anyway. The actress, who rose to fame as Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, said three years of nursing had made her boobs "saggy".

She said: "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. It's just something that I did for myself, I really wanted to do it for my confidence. I have been really nervous about sharing this.

"Obviously I very much am for body confidence, and very much for supporting other women, but supporting women in all choices that they decide to do. I think if something really is bothering you, then I think, you know, it's a good thing to do something about it."

Helen says she never thought she would have a boob job, the MEN reports. She added: "I was always like, really, busty. I never thought that I would be someone that would need or have a boob job.

"Basically, my boobs just changed so much from pregnancy and breastfeeding. And it's a really tricky one here, because I loved all my breastfeeding journeys. I'm a massive supporter of breastfeeding."

Helen has three children with Bristol Rovers footballer Scott Sinclair, daughters Matilda, seven and Delilah, four and a one-year-old son Charlie. She said her boobs went from a natural size E to a B cup after breastfeeding her daughters and son.

She added: "I like to share my life on here, I like to be as honest as I can."
