Former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan wowed in a golden metallic bikini while basking in the Greek sun during her trip abroad with three kids as takes on a dirty task

Despite often facing criticism for her revealing lingerie snaps, Helen Flanagan is clearly embracing “reality” during her latest luxurious getaway.

Leaving the UK behind last week, the actress embarked on a vacation with her three children and a pal friend to savour the final moments of the summer season.

Helen, who shares her children Matilda, eight, Delilah, five and two-year-old Charlie with her former fiancé Scott Sinclair, from whom she parted ways last summer, has been updating her Greece trip on social media and informed fans she was on “poo” lookout during a day by the pool.

Posing in a very skimp gold bikini that showed of her ample cleavage, the former Coronation Street star seized the opportunity to potty train her youngest child, Charlie, who has outgrown nappys.

However, Helen faced an embarrassing incident over the weekend while out with her two-year-old.

A candid snap posted to her Instagram grid read: “On poo watch.”

The skimpy two-piece showed off the results of Helen’s boob job in all of its glory as her chest took centre stage in the snap.

A lot of fans were baffled at the caption, asking: ““did you me pool watch?? not poo watch,” asked one fan, as another echoed: “Do you mean poo ? Or pool ?”

While a third gushed: “So stunning Helen you look absolutely amazing and totally gorgeous .”

Taking to her Instagram, all was revealed as Helen shared an update with her followers, saying, “I’m at this really nice, fancy hotel and he has soiled his underpants while in the stroller, and I was like, ‘Wow.’ I have some lovely dirty little underpants to clean up.” While visibly exasperated, she gave a sarcastic thumbs-up to the camera.

Later in the day, Helen returned to her Instagram Stories to discuss her progress.

She recounted, “I’ve already dealt with two messy accidents. I didn’t personally potty train Matilda; it was Scott’s mum who did it since I was constantly working in Manchester on Corrie.

“I potty trained Delilah when she was two and a half, and she caught on so quickly. But yes, two messy accidents so far.”

In her most recent update, Helen seemed better prepared for any further mishaps. She shared a video on her Instagram Story, showcasing herself in a bikini.

The 33-year-old star looked stunning in a metallic gold ensemble as she posed for a mirror selfie in the two-piece.

With her blonde hair pulled back in a bun and sporting bold black sunglasses, she was later seen during her Crete trip, particularly at the Wyndham Grand Crete Mirabello Bay hotel resort.

Walking hand in hand with her son, she typed, “Dealing with constant clean-ups” while revealing a firm grip on a pack of wipes.

However, there was a positive turn of events as the mother of three enjoyed a moment on the balcony with her son, sharing, “Charlie successfully used the potty!”
