Helen Flanagan strips away the glam to go makeup free with unwashed 'bed hair' as she documents landmark as a mum

Helen Flanagan has shared a stripped back glimpse at being mum away from the glam side of social media.

The doting mum-of-three Instgrammed video of herself with her baby boy Charlie, showing the actress makeup free with her hair unwashed.

In a series of frank clips the 31-year-old Coronation Street favourite, who played Rosie Webster from 2000, told fans that she sometimes doesn't have chance to wash her hair.

"I am going to go and wash my hair today," the soap star said as she played and cuddled with Charlie, who turns one next month.

"I never thought before I had kids I would actually sometimes just not have the time to wash my hair.

"I'm going to have to wash it."

And with another clip she addressed having 'bed hair.'

"Also I know how messy my bed hair is," she typed.

"But it's nice to show real life on social media and not just the glam sides."

Helen, who also has two daughters Matilda, six, and Delila, three, with her fiance Preston North End footballer Scott Sinclair, also shared her delight over their son reaching the landmark of standing on his own.

"You've been standing on your own haven't you?" she lovingly asked her adorable boy.

And as Charlie got to his feet on camera she exclaimed excitedly: "He's standing!"

The actress from Bury has previously revealed why her third pregnancy will probably be her last after suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum, an extreme form of morning sickness that causes severe nausea and vomiting, during all her pregnancies.

With Charlie she said the disorder was 'really strong.'

In an honest Instagram post last month she said: "I had Hyperemesis with all three pregnancies but with Charlie it was really strong so I wouldn’t want to be pregnant with having three young children that depend on me."
