Coronation Street favourite Helen Flanagan looked sensational in yellow as she headed out on the town in Manchester for a girls' night out. The 31-year-old mum-of-three turned heads in a yellow one-shoulder dress with metallic heels for her trip to Menagerie bar and restaurant at New Bailey.
The Rosie Webster actress wore her blonde hair straight and added a mocha lip gloss and bronze makeup to complete her sun-kissed look for spring. The soap star from Bury paired her buttery dress with a cream YSL long-chain purse on Saturday night.
On Sunday she shared snaps of herself in the lounge at home all dressed up for her night out as she held her adorable toddler son Charlie and smiled adoringly at the one-year-old. "I always feel like I look way more natural in pics when I’m with my kids," she wrote on her Instagram.

And she was applauded as she spoke frankly about her parenting achievements and goals. "It’s been a good week of progress for Charles," she said about her boy, who she has been weaning off breastfeeding during the day.
"Totally off my milk all through out the day and just having a feed before bed and when he wakes up a milky feed. Had to do it gradual for Charlie and also for me that I don’t get mastitis."
She continued: " I’ve not had any regular kind of childcare for Charlie since he’s been born so it’s been nice to have some this past week to sort just general life admin that I had to do that you just can’t do with a baby and because I’ve had a pair of hands he’s not been frustrated during the day not having my milk."
Helen, who also has two daughters Matilda, six, and Delilah, three, also opened up about co-sleeping with her children - a practice in which babies and young children sleep close to one or both parents in the same room. And she revealed that she's aiming to share a bed with her man after seven years.
"Can’t believe it either Charlie’s started to want to sleep in his cot!" she said. He just seemed so unsettled next to me, I think a bit was a bit of constipation with eating more food bless him."
She explained to her followers: " I’ve always co slept with Charlie and the breast feeding went hand in hand. I’m doing my house up at the moment (hence why most of my pics are taken in lounge area as I haven’t got round to the rest) one of my next jobs is mine and Scott’s room and after seven years it would be nice as a couple to actually share a bed and not feel like flat mates."
And she added: "I’ve always just co slept with the kids out of easiness and just basically so I can sleep and just function in the morning. "There is so many other lovely amazing stages after nursing… loving watching Charlie’s little personality grow."

Helen is regularly open and honest about motherhood on social media. Last month she said about her decison on feeding Charlie: "I've decided to stop feeding. I've really enjoyed nursing Charlie but the past month I've just had enough."
She added: "Today was the first day I'm trying to gradually wean him off during the day (he feeds too much)." She continued: "I love being a mum and I'm so grateful for my babies, but I've just felt so drained so making some changes."
