Many parents are likely to relate to Helen Flanagan's latest admission after she suffers fresh 'mum guilt' in the lead-up to the festive season. The former Coronation Street actress, like many mums and dads across the country, is trying to keep on top her the Elf on the Shelf antics for her three children.
Helen, who is famed for playing Rosie Webster in the ITV soap, is doting mum to Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and one-year-old son Charlie who she shares with footballer Scott Sinclair. And the mum-of-three took to Instagram on Monday evening to share how she'd dropped a bit of a clanger when it came to the previously mentioned festive character which has become somewhat of a Christmas tradition over the years.
"Mum guilt as two nights in a row I forgot," Helen typed alongside an image of two elves getting in a mess with some flour on a kitchen worktop. There was also a handwritten note to her children from the elves which said they were "so sorry" they were gone over the weekend.
