Doting mum Helen Flanagan regularly shares about mum life, and she turned to her followers as she opened up about issues with youngest daughter Delilah and son Charlie. Former Coronation Street actress Helen, 32, from Bury, posted honest words on her Instagram Stories as she asked "do any other mums feel me?"
Sharing a sweet photo of herself and Delilah beaming for the camera the soap star, who is currently on our screens on I'm a Celebrity South Africa, said: "Having a thing with Delilah at the moment where she just screamed and cries when I leave a room." And she explained: "She follows me everywhere in the house and I know it's cute but it's not as well. I wanted to go for a bath last night and she screamed the whole time. I still co-sleep with Delilah do any other mums feel me?"
Helen, who left Corrie in 2018 to go on maternity leave, shares three children with footballer Scott Sinclair - Matilda, seven, Delilah, four and two-year-old Charlie. She also told her followers: "Also got a thing with Charlie when he keeps head butting me. Also at the end of the day I feel touched out and feel for for when I'm a snappy witch anyone else?"

Helen confessed to fans that she resorted to locking herself in the toilet to get some peace in another relatable sharing. "Did lock myself in the toilet today for five minutes," she wrote with laughing-face and love heart emoji.
Today (Sunday April 30) Helen shared a video clip of Matilda in which Delilah could be heard shouting for Helen. "Matila so adorable," she said. "That's Delilah shouting for me as I've come downstairs without her."
Posting a picture of Matilda smiling sweetly she wrote: "Matilda howevere is as good as gold ... I have no favouorites I love all my kids equally. I think she might give me a run for my money when she's a teenager. Everyone always says Matilda is so mature for her age bless her."
During her first rocky stint in the I'm A Celebrity ...Get Me Out Of Here! 10 years ago, Helen was voted by the British public to take part in seven bushtucker trials in a row. But fans have been impressed this time around.
To get to the jungle in the launch show she had to leap across giant balls suspended in the air as part of the Newton's Cradle challenge to grab a star. After letting campmates Phil Tufnell and Fatima Whitbread go first, she took a breath and floored viewers with her pluck despite not reaching the star at the end. @Amber_louisex3 tweeted: "Well done helen! Different approach this time round! Mind over matter."
But some viewers were confused as Helen shared a selfie on Instagram taken of herself and her three children. "Chaos everyday," she captioned the snap as fans realised the show was pre-recorded.
Earlier this month she shared a previous frank post about her son's 'horrendous' tantrums after flying off on a sunshine break for the Easter holiday. "I cannot tell you how horrendous Charlie's tantrums have been," said Helen before suddenly cutting off the chat as she said: "Wow I've got to go."
Resuming her chat, Helen shared: "He basically like - and I've got two other children I know what babies can be like - he screamed the restaurant down yesterday. He just screamed."
She said she left their table as she thought Charlie might be acting up because she was there, and was grateful to a kindly girl who came over to check on her. "I've come on holiday with my friend who helps me with the kids, so both of us were tryuing our best and there was no consoling him at all," she explained.
"He literally screamed the whole restaurant down and it was a really, really, really busy restaurant. I could feel there was a table - I could just sense it as this is my third child - I don't think they were being that nice to be honest about my parenting. But I was really trying my best to console Charlie."
She added: "There as a nice girl that came up to me so thank you babe. Thank you for comng up to me. We had a hug so thank you for that."
Helen says that when they got back to the room, Charlie's tantrums continued. "I wanted to unpack everything but he would not be put down," she said. Later she said: "I think this is him being 'hey mum this is Charlie.'"
The star previously shared from their first day in Dubai with the snap of them strolling along together. "Supermum vibes every day," she wrote with superhero and love heart emojis. "First day of the kids holiday."
