Helen Flanagan declared 'everyone's going to hate me' as she headed towards the airport after a week-long stay in Dubai. The Bury-born star has been soaking up the sun in the UAE after whisking herself and her three children off on holiday for Easter.
Former Coronation Street star Helen has been keeping her fans and followers updated on social media while on her trip with Matilda, seven, Delilah, four and two-year-old son Charlie, as well as her friend who helps her out with her children. But the holiday hasn't come without its hiccups.
The actress, who is famed for playing Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, previously shared how she was comforted by a stranger after Charlie, who turned two last month, continued to experience 'horrendous' tantrums while abroad. And on Thursday (April 6), Helen sared how she'd been being 'mithered' by her eldest child which has led to some bickering between the pair.
Speaking to the camera on a video shared to her Instagram Story, Helen said: "She is so grown up now, we have had to make friends a few times and we've had a few fallouts." She continued: "Apparently I am embarrassing, I have been told to go away a few times. I always call my kids baby and I have been told not to call her baby again. I'm not to call her princess. I always call her princess"
Helen also said Matilda has been pestering her the "whole holiday" to about starting a TikTok account and wearing a crop top as she sees her mum wearing them. She said that Delilah had been "really good" with just a few "run-ins" and said that Charlie is "just beautiful" before confirming that it was their last day in the UAE and that they'd been jetting back home.
And the journey back to the UK began on Friday (April 7) and Helen filmed herself heading inside the airport with an upset Delilah as she pleaded with fans to 'wish her look'. She said to her daughter: "Delilah, are you going to be good for mummy on this flight because I've got enough on with Charlie?"
Her little girl didn't seem too impressed as Helen continued to the camera: "I'ts going to be horrendous. Just wish me luck guys. It's going to be awful. Last time Charlie screamed for eight hours. It's going to be awful and everyone is going to hate... everyone is going to hate me."
Helen then shared an update just before getting to the plane. "Getting through was just horrendous. I had so much stuff with me and Charlie just screamed and threw himself on the floor," she said. "I though I'd lost the iPads and I thought I'd lost my phone so I wasn't happy at all. And we're sill in Dubai. We've not even set off. It's horrendous."
But shortly after, fresh-faced 32-year-old smiled for the camera as Charlie, who looked adorable in a blue romper suit, kept himself entertained with some headphones. "Let's go baby," she typed alongside the snap before he took to his pram for what Helen hoped would be a lengthy nap.
In the meantime, the former soap star shared a slew of bikini-clad images to Instagram as she reminisced about her time spent in Dubai over the years. She took a trip back in time to post images from her various stays at Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort, both solo and with her kids.
She joked she looked 'bedraggled' as the first picture showed her with her three children on their latest trip. Other images showed Helen looking incredible while sporting various bikinis over the years while also looking stunning on nights out while enjoying her breaks in the sun.
"Lovely Easter stay @leroyalmeridiendubai @grosvenorhouse," Helen started the caption of her post. "Stayed at this hotel since I’ve been 19 and I have the best memories here x My kids have been here since babies and all know it so well x I’ve had all my baby moon breaks here, my gender reveal with Delilah, New Years etc it really is a home from home for me.
"It’s my favourite hotel in Dubai and my kids just love it and are obsessed with the kids club and making friends with other kids x I look super bedraggled here as I was checking out but memories made."
