Helen Flanagan and her family join The Drop challenge on TikTok as she celebrates her son's first birthday

Helen Flanagan had fun celebrating her son Charlie's first birthday as the Corrie star and her friends and family took part in the TikTok craze The Drop.

The dance trend, to Beyoncé’s 2013 song Partition, features users of the social network carrying out their regular routine when they suddenly drop to a squatting position to the song’s beat while staring into the camera.

The Drop went viral after comedian Atsuko Okatsuka danced in random places while out in public with her grandmother.

Since then TikTokers have been trying the challenge for themselves in their homes, on public transport at the shops and at work.

And Coronation Street favourite Helen performed it with her loved ones as they gathered for her son Charlie's landmark birthday.

The Rosie Webster actress, from Bury, performed The Drop with partygoers including her parents Julia and Paul and eldest daughter Matilda, six - and a giant grinning Gruffalo also joined in the fun.

Mum-of-three Helen, 31, shared a video montage on her Instagram with a laughing emoji.

scarlett_locks said: "The one with the Gruffalo got me."

And joanna.louise.taylor1 told her: "It’s the gruffalo’s face for me."

In a clip with her mum and dad a barefoot Helen, who also has a three-year-old daughter Delilah with Preston North End footballer Scott Sinclair, laughs as she sinks to the floor as Paul holds baby Charlie.

She looked stunning for the occasion in a pretty blue floral patterned dress.
