Helen Flanagan shares how she told her kids about secret boob job amid recovery

Helen Flanagan has said that she has told her daughters about her recent boob job, with her saying that she was "honest" with them and "didn't make a big deal of it".

The actor, 32 - best known for playing Rosie Webster on Coronation Street - announced this week that she had undergone a prodecure to give her boobs an uplift.

The mother-of-three is now recovering from the surgery - which she had just days ago - and has been open about the operation, including in a Q&A on Instagram yesterday.

She was asked by a fan if she would tell her daughters Matilda, seven, and Delilah, four, about it. Helen shares them and son Charlie, one, with her ex Scott Sinclair, 33.

The follower asked: "Will you tell your girls? Like how will you explain it to them?" In response, Helen said: "I was just honest with them and didn't make a big deal of it."

She added: "Matilda is just an angel and just no bother at all. Delilah is only 4 and as soon as she came home she was so excited to see me she head butted me by accident!"

Helen continued in her response: "I just said mummy had a little op so I can't carry you or Charlie. Delilah still will be carried". She included a laughing emoji at the end.
