Helen Flanagan divides fans as she braves plummeting temperatures to show off abs in barely there outfit

Helen Flanagan ignored the cold temperatures as she put on a barely-there display during a recent outing. The actress, from Bury, took to Instagram to show off the look she opted for when she headed for a night out over the weekend.

Former Coronation Street star Helen, 32, looked sensational as she posed in what appeared to be a car park in an embellished lilac two-piece that boasted detached sleeves and showed off her gym-honed abs. She kept the rest of her look quite simple, slicking her blonde locks back in a bun and opting for glowy make-up.

But she did add a touch of sparkle, as it is nearly Christmas after all, and pulled on a pair of glittering heels. "One from Saturday night," Helen, who played Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, captioned the post before the comments soon came flooding in.

Former Corrie co-star Lucy Fallon replied: "Omg this is gorj." Former Love Island star Molly Smith wrote: "Beautiful," alongside a string of love heart eye emojis. But Helen did appear to cause a divide with her outfit choice with some not liking the ensemble.

However, there were plenty more who loved the look and shared their compliments with the former soap star. @joanne_carey_ said: "You’re honestly like a super model." @haytonjazz wrote: "Absolutely stunning." @remijaynecox commented: "You look incredible." @johnrawana39 added: "You look beautiful."

It comes after Helen joking revealed how she "loses a guy" in a TikTok video. Mum of three Helen could be seen clutching tampons and a huge bar of chocolate as she danced around in her pyjamas. She smiled at the camera as she dance around her bedroom before writing in the caption: "How to lose a guy in 10 days?" referencing the film, before adding: "Be myself the week before my period."

It comes after Helen shared how she suffers 'emotional outbursts' before telling of her 'irritation' and people who are 'mean to mums'. Last month she took to her Instagram Story to chat to her loyal followers as she had a quiet moment at home. She appeared fresh-faced in the video, donning a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a pink zip-up jacket while her blond locks were pulled back into a bun. Helen shared how she was laying in bed and admitted to being 'tired' as a busy mum-of-three to daughters Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and one-year-old son, Charlie.

"I've just had my period so that probably explains some of my mood," she said. "I'm quite good at controlling my emotions. I keep quite busy but I always have emotional outbursts when I'm due on." She then went on to get something off her chest that had been on her mind. "Long story short, but I was really annoyed last week because... I won't go into too much detail but basically, I hate it when mums are made to feel uncomfortable. I didn't have Matilda young, but young-ish, and I've always gone everywhere with my kids like flown with them, trains, hotels, restaurants... I've always just gone wherever I want to go."

Helen went on: "And I just don't like it when you get people basically being rubbish towards you because you've got kids and you're a mum. I'm just babbling but that really irritates me when people are basically just mean to mums.." Hinting that something may have happened to prompt her annoyance, Helen added: "I'm not going to go into the conversation too much because ti's just too long but I get really, really annoyed when people aren't nice to mums."
