Helen Flanagan took made sure to include Scott Sinclair as she took to her social media platform with a special birthday tribute. The Bury-born star shared a post-labour snap to Instagram as she marked her son, Charlie's, second birthday.

Former Coronation Street actress Helen could be seen cradling her then-newborn baby boy in hospital shortly after his birth. She could be seen looking at her third bundle of joy while wearing a black lacy bra with her blonde locks tied into a messy bun on top of her head.

"Happy 2nd birthday to my dream boy my Prince Charlie," the 32-year-old, who played Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, penned alongside the candid image. "No words for how much I love you. Going to treasure you being 2," she said before adding: "Photo taken day after labour,"

She then shared an adorable follow-up photo of her smiling son now as she said: "Such a boy. Never known a child to eat to so much. My beautiful Bruce bogtrotter x such a gentle beautiful soul, so fun already and crazy. Already loving football and adores his sisters."

Helen also shared a snap of Charlie with his dad, footballer Scott Sinclair, with whom she also shared daughters Matilda and Delilah, as they share the same special day. The photo saw the father and son on holiday in sunnier climes as Helen wrote: "Happy birthday @scotty_sinclair."

But there was one person who didn't appear to be in the birthday mood and that was four-year-old Delilah. Helen took a photo of her middle child sat among Charlie's birthday presents with a slightly unimpressed look on her face. "Delilah isn't chuffed it's Charlie's birthday," she penned with a crying laughing emoji.

Helen then filmed the toddler as she asked: "What's wrong, Delilah?" to which she appeared to reply that she wanted the presents. A follow-up clip hears Helen confirmed that her daughter wanted in on her little brother's gifts as she write: "In such a mood," while telling her daughter to let her brother go first.

But it wasn't long before Delilah was breaking her heart. While in tears, Helen said: "Well Delilah's had better mornings." And the issue continued as Helen laughed: "She's fuming," alongside a string of crying laughing emojis while an unimpressed Delilah tried to play with some of her brother's toy cars.

Earlier this week fans praised Helen as she headed out on a 5am dash with her daughter. She appeared make-up free as she revealed she travelled to Glasgow and back for her daughter's passport. The mum-of-three took her daughter Delilah back to the Scottish city where she was in fact born back in 2018 when Scott played for Celtic.

Posting a picture on Instagram, Helen looked fresh-faced in a picture she shared on Instagram with her daughter, explaining the early morning rush behind getting Delilah's passport. Sharing the post with her one million followers, she explained: "Was up at 5am today to drive to Glasgow and back for a few hours to pick up Delilah a passport (with all the passport strikes) so I can take my kids on a nice holiday at half term.

"Love being back here such good memories. Delilah was my wee Scottish baby wish I could have stayed longer but had to get back for Charlie and Matilda. Delilah was such a good girl she’s really come out of her tantrum toddler stage and so well behaved and now Charlie’s started x proud mama."

Taking to her Instagram stories, the mum then admitted: "My fave pics of me and my kids are always when I'm not done up, natural ones are the best." She then revealed that the coffee shop she was it is where she went into labour with her daughter, "I love the pret in the west end. I actually went into labour here with Delilah," she said.
