Helen Flanagan fiercely defended by fans as she poses in risque lingerie following confidence-boosting boob job

Helen Flanagan has been defended by fans after she put on a stunning display in her latest Instagram post. The Bury-born star took to social media with a snap of herself cheerfully posing in some risque lingerie, just a couple of months after revealing she had undergone a confidence-boosting boob job.

The actress, who is known for having starred in Coronation Street, opened up to fans about having surgery after stopping breastfeeding. Helen, who breastfed all three of her children, took to Instagram to share her news back in January. She posted a frank video on her social media page to say she'd had procedure to boost her confidence after noticing that her breasts had changed after nursing her children, the youngest being her son Charlie, who turns two this month.

The mum-of-of-three, who shares Charlie and daughters Delilah and Matilda with footballer Scott Sinclair, said she was always "really busty" but decided to take action when her boobs became "saggy" after nursing for three years in total. She explained that she was "nervous" about talking about her surgery but said: "It's just something that I did for myself, I really wanted to do it for my confidence"

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday (March 15), Helen continued to flaunt her new-found confidence as she slipped into a satin baby blue frilled top, held together with a clasp, which she teamed with a pair of tiny matching shorts as she posed for a series of sizzling snaps in her bathroom.

Helen could be seen wearing her freshly washed hair wrapped up in a white fluffy towel after seemingly just getting out of the shower. The 32-year-old was flowing as she beamed and posed holding a toothbrush in the snaps captioned: "Because brushing my teeth is so funny."

Compliments quickly came flooding in for the former soap star, who played Rosie Webster in ITV's Corrie, as @tashajaneh wrote: "You look stunning." @itsdionisya said: "You look absolutely amazing @hjgflanagan after 3 beautiful children why cant you feel good in your own skin." @freyakillin typed: "Unreal."

@stacie.mai commented: "Gorgeous as always." @roytynehotmail replied: "Wow you look absolutely stunning ." @helen_flanagan_fanpage posted: "Absolutely stunning." @paulq78 shared: "Babes you truly are unbelievably beautiful." @katie_koo_122 added: "I love this Helen era."

But as some branded it 'too much' and even went so far to say they had 'unfollowed' Helen, others were quick to jump to her defence. @bigalearley said: "I think you look absolutely stunning. The haters are going to hate. But you are smashing life chica." @mammaandfiglio replied: "Some of the comments on here are awful. Leave the poor woman alone. She's beautiful. What happened to women empowering women?!"

@rossmac110 wrote: "I don't understand people slagging her off. She looks amazing!" @missjvy posted: "The comments on this post are vile! It's not a photo I would personally put up - however I don't look this incredible! Can't believe people are shaming her for putting this photo up because she's got children! Grow up." @amytowne added: "Ignore the haters. It’s actually hilarious what people think they should say behind a phone screen. They’re sad, jealous & pathetic."
