Helen Flanagan has hit back at cruel trolls who called her 'tacky' and 'unclassy' after sharing a glamorous snap in a low cut red dress.
The former Coronation Street actress shared a stunning Instagram Reel in the lead up to Valentine's Day, where she showed off the results of her recent boob job surgery. Helen, 32, underwent the operation in a bid to get her confidence back after breastfeeding her three children -Matilda, 7, Delilah, 4, and Charlie, 1 - who she shares with with ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair.
The former Celtic WAG opened up about the slew of nasty comments she received on her social media post, and was horrified to learn most of them were written by women. Sharing an image titled 'Empowered Women Empower Women' she wrote a lengthy post addressing the criticism: "I shared a fashion reel a few days ago and I was a bit taken back from the not so nice comments I got on the post.
"I was more shocked that the majority of them were from women."
She continued: "I’m a girls girl and very much for other women and I always have another women's back. I don’t believe women should comment negatively about other women. I enjoy seeing women feeling glamorous and feeling empowered and dressing how they want to dress.
"Sometimes I see outfits that I wouldn’t wear as maybe they are too revealing for me but I just think good on the girl that has the confidence to wear what she wants to wear. I had some comments from other women about being “tacky” or “unclassy” well to me being a woman and speaking so badly of another women's appearance is “tacky and unclassy”."
Helen has always spoken about wanting her social media profile to be a way to empower others, and be honest with her followers. She has also opened up regularly about how she was nervous to come forward about her boob job.
She continued: "I never speak badly about how another women looks as it’s just vile. I had comments about not being a good role model to my daughters. I will bring up my daughters to be kind, beautiful women that support other women with good morals and girl code.
"Or you can just scroll past…. On social media you don’t like something you don’t have to comment."
Helen concluded: "I love my account I feel like I really connect with others women and mothers and yeah basically I support other women, I don’t drag them down. As women we need each other."
